A Clever Little Dog.

A curious illustration of canine intel
ligence-and it's limitations-was OBJ
served by writer in The Outlook q
few days ago. Passing down n street
he saw n fine Airedale terrier lying
down and with both forepaws and
muzzled nose scrubbing the surface of
an iron grating with bone, as If to
bring it to high state of polish. The
owner saw and explained. The graf
ing is just over cellar in which the
terrier sleeps. His muzzle prevents
him from attacking bones to advan-
tage by day, SO lie brings the bones Of
his finding to the grating, hoping 10
push them through and gnaw luxu-
riously when unmuzzled ut night. But
the little chap had but the vaguest
ideas of the size limits of the grating,
and. as the ordinary sizes of bones go,
lie must have had at least two failures
to every success. Yet, with real ter
rier ingenuity, he turned even his fail
ure to account, for after vigorously
trying every hole in the grating he
would quietly stop. lick the entir>
grating clean of the grease and meat
juice rubbed off the bone, then rub off
another layer and repeat the licking

Origin of the Banjo.

Over half a century ago, in the town
Of Banjoemas, on the island of Java, a
negro native Of the place, desiring an
instrument to accompany his voice,
conceived the following plan: Taking q
cheese box and crossing it with goat
or sheep skin, he ran handle through
1T; then, using violin strings, which
We're tuned to the first, third, fifth and
eighth notes of an octave, he gave it
the name of "banjo," from the first
two syllables in the name of his native
town.
No banjo of this time is known to
be in existence, but from descriptions
handed down they must have been
very rude Instruments. AS the years
passed Improvements were made.
Throughout the southern states banjos
became as plentiful as pickaninnics,
and negroes might be found on any
plantation who could "make the banjo
talk"
In n clever performers hands the
banjo seems capable of doing every
thing-bclls chime, waters ripple,
winds blow, birds sing and many
other pleasant ideas are evoked-but
1t will never do for romance. Its very
name is against it. Whether from as
sociation or not, we cannot connect
romance nnd the banjo.-Washingt

A Little Bit of Salt.

Every child needs a little bit of salt,
and in almost every food it is well to
put some. not only for the taste, but
for it's value in >digesting the food. 1t
is notable fact that all animals well
come salt occasionally, and. like hui
man beings. pine when there is n lack
of it. In Holland. some generations
ago. it is said to have been the custom
to punish criminals by allowing no
food but bread without salt. The con-
sequence was the blood became de-
praved. they became infested with
worms and died miserably. Blood
contains n large percentage Of salt. and
no one can be healthy without it. An
experienced physician has stated that
If strong solution of salt and water
be injected into the veins of person
dying witt, cholera the patient will be
reused from his stupor. and occasion.

Travelling In A1ns,sn.

l have seen many pictures of the
manner in which the Eskimos travel,
and the man is generally seated COM
'fortably on the sled cracking whip,
and the dogs are going at a smart gal
lop. But we soon found that picture
to be n delusion and n snare.
Journoying in the arctic regions con-
sists mostly in pushing behind the
sled, for the poor little animals fire.
quently have to be helped over the
rough places and in going up hill or
any rise in the ground. Where there
is no beaten trail-as was the case
most of the distance we travelcd-the
dogs have nothing to guide them, and
one man is Obliged to run ahead. He
generally runs some distance and
then walks until the head team comes
up With him, when he runs on again.
When the SHOW is hard and the road
level, the dogs, with an average load,
will maintain a trot which is too fast
for a man to walk and not so fast as
he can run. by alternately running
and walking one does not become
greatly fatigued. Natives who travel
from village to village are SO accus-
toned to this mode of travel that they
can keep it up all day without show
ing signs of fatigue.-Harper's Aiaga-

The fin ance committee appointed by
the Huron convention to devise ways
and means to raise fund to bring the !
First South Dakota regiment home
from SanFrancisco, has appointed dis
trict committeeman to aid in the work.
j. l.. Burke has been appointed for
this district, which comprises Custer
and Fall River counties. The amount
apportioned to Custer county to raise
is $500 while si0o is expected IRON
Fall River. Several plans are suggested
for raising the fund, among which are
by general subscription, by number
ber of business men signing note lor
the amount and borrowing it from the
hanks. and of counties approprlat'ng
the amount necessary; in either event
with the understanding that the legls-
lnture is to refund the amount mt It's
next session. Aside from this proposed
fund souvenir buttons are being manu-
featured. which viii be sold at 81 each.
to establish an emergency hospital
fund to be used for the sick soldiers
who will not be able TO care for them
selves upon their arrival at San FRAN
cisco.
The Huron convention was attehde"
by men from various portions OF 1he
srate and they decided that the state
owed it, to our soldier boys to bring
them home by special train. The ques
tion now is how to raise the s'ooV'
necessary. The time is very short IL
which to raise it. and something mus
be done quickly if at all. Does fal

how shall the money be raised: In
only feasible way at this time for TIN

commissioners to take hold of it it til
treasury is in condition to do so. Ihf
would be the only equable way-th'
is the only way for all to share in I'll

doubt about the legislature relmbur
ing the county. Mr.. Burke expects
present the matter to the commissio
ers next week and hopes to secure II
desired appropriation. He Will recel
the buttons later.
1t is now expected that the Sou
Dakota regiment will reach San Fra
cisco about the 10th or 10Th of Septe1
ber. There will be a number go frf
this state to welcome them, and
efforts of all will certainly be app
ciated by the boys, who are deservl
of all we can do, if /. special train
provided to bring them home.
