A Clever Little Dog.

A curious illustration of canine intel
ligence-and It's limitations-was OBJ
served by q writer In The Outlook n
few days ago. Passing down a street
he saw 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 1t to high state Of polish. The
owner saw and explained. The graf
ing is just over O cellar In which the
terrier sleeps. His muzzle prevents
him from attacking bones to advan-
tage by day, so he brings the bones Of
his finding to the grating. hoping to
push them through and gnaw luxu-
riously when unmuzzled at night. But
the little chap had but the vaguest
ideas Of the size limits Of the grating,
and, as the ordinary sizes Of bones 60,
he must have had at least two failures
TO every success. Yet with real ter
rler ingenuity. ne turned even his fall
ure to account, for after vigorously
trying every hole in the grating he
would quietly stop. lick the entire
grating clean Of the grease and meat
Juice rubbed of the bone. then rub or
another layer and repeat the licking.

Travelling In Alaska

l have seen many pictures OF the
Mariner In which the Eskimos travel.
aud the man Is generally seated COM
fortably on the sled cracking whip,
and the dogs are going at smart gal
lop. But we soon found that picture
to be delusion and a snare.
Journeying in the arctic regions con-
slsts 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 traveled-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 snow is hard and the road
level, the dogs, with an average load.
will maintain q trot which Is too fast
for q man to walk and not so fast as
he can run. BY alternately running
and walking one does not become
greatly fatlgued. Natives who travel
from village to village are so accus-
toned to this mode Of travel that they
can keep 1t up all day without show
ing signs OF fatigue.-Harper's Maya

Origin of the Banjo.


Over half century ago. in the town
OF Banjoemas. on the island OF Java.
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
ii; then. using violin strings which
were tuned TO the first, third. fifth and
eighth notes of an octave, he gave ii
ne name Of banjo" from the first
two syllables in the name Of his native
town
No banjo of this time is known 20
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 pickaninnles,
and negroes might be found on any
plantation who could make the banjo
talk"
In clever performers hands the
banjo seems capable Of doing every
thlng-bells chime, waters ripple
winds blow, birds sing and many
other pleasant ideas are evoked-but
it will never do for romance. Its very
name is against it. Whether from as
ISOLATION or not, we cannot connect
romance and the Washington
Star

Every child needs little bit OF salt,
and in almost every food 1t Is well to
put some, not only for the taste, but
FOR it's value in digestng the food. 1t
is notable fact that ell animals well
come salt occasionally, and, like hui
man beings, pine when there is Lack
Of 1t. 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-
PRAYED, they became infested with
worms and died miserably. Blood
contains q large percentage Of salt. and
no one can be healthy without It. An
experienced physician has stated that
Il q strong solution OF salt and water
be Injected into the veins Of person
dying with cholera the patient will be
reused from his stupor. and occasion
ally II has led to recovery.-Ledger
