Ancient Varieties of Dogs.

Scientific American.
According to d. G.. Brlnton, In Science,
the first domesicated animal seems to
have been the dog. In the Swiss Society
of Natural History last year Prof. Studer
read paper on ancient European dogs.
The oldest variety was the so-called peat
dog. It belong to the neollthic period
There were four other varieties known
in the bronze period and in that Of the
lake dwellers. Direct descendants Of
these are the German hunting hounds,
the shepherd dog and the poodle
In America there is little evidence that
any dog was trained for hunting, In the
far north the Eskimo dog was beast Of
draft, the only one known to the red race.
The dogs Of Mexico and Central America
seem to have been principally raised for
food or ceremonial sacrifices. In Peru
there were several varieties under do
mestiCatlon, two Of which have been
clearly distinguished
II is noteworthy that although in
many American tribes the dog was a
sacred or mythical animal in the legends,
ne was not regarded with affection, but
with dislike and aversion, fact strongly
brought by Won Tschudi

Trackmen's Advance Advocate.
A copy Of the report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for 1882, 1893,
1894, 1896 and 1896 has been received.
While the years 1898, 1894, 1895 and 1896
were considered the most trying period
on railways in the United States since
the civil war, the report shows that the
classes receiving the most wages in 1892
managed to have their wages increased
during the panic years. The average
daily compensation for the classes men

The Drink a Man Needs.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press
An average man requires fifty-nine
ounces Of food per diem. He needs thirty
seven ounces of water for drinking, and
in breathing he absorbs thirty ounces
of oxygen. He eats as mucn water as
he drinks, so much of that fluid being
contained in various foods. In order to
supply fuel for running the body ma
chine and make up for waste tissue ne
ought to swallow daily the equivalent
of twenty ounces Of bread, three ounces
of potatoes, one ounce of butter and one
quart Of water. The body is mostly
water. The body of a man weighing
154 pounds contains ninety-six pounds,
or forty-slx quarts, of water.

We see by the above report that the
general officers managed to secure an
increase of wages during the worst panic
years known in the history Of the coun-
try to the amount of $1.74 per day, and
the classes that are fairly well organized
and were receiving living wages about
held their own, while trackmen, who do
the hardest work and are most exposed
to all kinds of weather, were compelled
to surrender a few cents of their scant
earnings each day, and it has been added
to the wages Of those who really do not
need it. Thus we see 'the rich growing

New York, October 3.-Henry George has
the ticket placed in the field by the Chca-
go platform democrats and the committee
having authority to fill the vacancies nomi-
mated Henry M. Mcdonald, of the county
of New York, for therplace. Mr.. George in
his letter says that he is pursuing uninter-
ruptedly in writing his fathers biography
and can do more for the principles of free
dom than by engaging actively in politics.
Mr. George continues 81 should say in
justice to myself and to those who honest
ly advance the silver question to the rank
of first Importance that 1 am no more than
my father was, an advocate of free COIN
age of silver. He condemned its economic
soundness, being in fact believer that
neither in gold nor silver, but in credit or
paper money. He supported the Chicago
platform not on account Of, but In spite of
it's advocacy of free silver, because he be-
lieved that in other respects it stood for
the principles Of freedom, because it took
the side of the weak as against that of
the monopolies; because 1t sided with the
house of want against the house of have.
1 am in entire accord with those views and
I think it proper to state them frankly,
that there may be no room for misunder-
standing on the part of any,"
Henry Mcdonald, nominated in Georges
stead, is a lawyer of this city and was
formerly banker of Pierre, s. D. He is

The work of preparation of the lecture
irritated his nerves so that on the after
noon of August 5 he was on the verge of
a complete collapse. To maintain himself
he took quinine and brandy during the af-
ternoon and after reaching the church he
took eighteen grains of quinine and half
to three-quarters of an ounce of brandy,
being actuated by a feeling of falling
strength. He was detained for nearly an
hour after arriving at the church before
beginning the lecture and when he began
his head was in whirl.
Witness testified that he had clear ideas
of what he intended to say, but could not
be certain what he did actually say.
II cannot find words to tell the horror
with which l read the report of my lecture
it appeared in the Rocky Mountain
News" said Chaplain Mcintyre, in reply
to a question by Attorney Doud, "state-
ments contained in that article could not
have been further from my thoughts"
The chaplain said that in reply to an in
quiry from the navy department the day
following the lecture, he denied having
made use of the expressions attr. .buted to
him. He did this because he knew that
in preparing for the lecture no such
thoughts were entertained. The chaplain
was much fatigued by his recital and his
cross-examination was postponed until $3.50
o'clock Tuesday.

in a financial way to the Young Mems
