DOG-WHIPPING DAY.
When Every Boy Is Allowed to Use
a Switch in England-An Old
Custom.

- There are parts of rural England
where they still set aside day for
whipping dogs.
Dog-whipping day is October 1s.
Then every boy in the neighborhood is
privileged to arm himself with sticks
and lashes and beat every dog he meets
to his hearts content. There are diff
ferent stories as to the origin of this
strange custom. In Yorkshire tradi-
ton has 1t that priest, when going his
rounds many years ago, dropped the
holy water used in communion service.
A dog that happened to be near by
swallowed it, and was promptly
whipped for his gulttony, and in com
memoration Of this event it has been
deemed expedient to thrash the entire
dog family on this day throughout the
succeeding years. In the vicinity of
Manchester the tale goes that the good
fathers in a certain monastery used to
set platters of food outside the gates
for the poor pilgrims that infested the
country at certain seasons. On one oc-
casion dog, whose stomach was prob
ably empty as any pilgrims ever dare
be, very selfishly ate the food him
self. He was caught in the lawless act
and was whipped soundly, and his
crime and its punishment have been
visited upon his descendants these
many generations.

SUICIDE OF A DOG.
Dewey Could Not Stand the Ridicule
and Humiliation That Hair
Cut Caused.

A large Newfoundland dog named
Dewey, owned by family in Brooklyn,
Is declared to have committed suicide,
says the Philadelphia Enquirer. Ow-
ing to the warm weather that prevailed
lately the head of the family had the
dogs hair cut very short-so short, in
fact, that the skin could be seen through
what little hair remained. When the
operation was completed a homelier
dog could hardly be imagined. His
large feet and head, in contrast with
his long, lean legs and body, made a
laughable appearance.
Before his hair was cut Dewey was
the leader of all the dogs in the neigh
borhood, but after the clipping the mo-
ment he saw one of his former chums
he would put his tail between his legs
and sneak away as fast as his long legs
could carry him. He appeared to be
80 ashamed of himself that when any,
body looked at him he would sink
away, and no amount of coaxing could
bring him back.
The humiliation seemed to worry him
80 much that one night he was seen
deliberately to lay himself down in
front of fast-moving trolley car, and
before the motorman could check the
speed of the car Dewey was dead.

GROUpER AND PARROT FISH.
The Characteristics of One Striking
ly Displayed In the Tank OF
the Others.

The Bermuda groupers are so called
on account Of their habit of grouping
together. There are plenty of fishes
that on occasions by accident or design
may come together side by side, or In
some other regular order or formation,
but there are few If any that get to-
gether as the groupers do. In the tank
of groupers at the aquarium, says the
New York Sun, these fishes may be seen,
half dozen or more of them at time,
ranged along the glass at the front of
the tank, heads all to the front, and
with their bodies tapping one another
diagonally with uniform regularity.
Sometimes at feeding time they stand,
or rather suspend themselves in the wa
ter side by side, in uniform rank,
heads up, near the surface, and wait
there for the man with the food, whose
step they may have heard on the plat
form back of the tanks.
A curious illustration Of the fishes
tendency to group was shown in an
other way. Into tank in which there
were two parrot fishes there was put
also grouper. One of these parrot
fishes was not feeling very lively; in
stead of swimming around it lay on the
bottom of the tank, over in one corner,
just breathing and taking things easy.
This was the grouper's opportunity,
and 1t stretched itself out on the bot
tom of the tank right alongside the par
rot fish and as close to it as 1t could get,
and stayed there.

TREE CULTURE IN GERMANY
It II Regarded as One of the Most
Priced Occupations of the
People.

While congress and the several state
legislatures have for years been flood
ed with petitions and proposed laws for
the preservation of the forest trees of
the country, nearly all of them more
or less defective, the people of Germany
have solved the problem with very little
ado. Germany is an old country. Gem
turtles ago what we might call Its vir-
gin timber was exhausted and the
lation dependent on a limited area of
land to supply its needs for wood ma
terial. What should they do? Should
they stint their use in this direction to
q niggardly amount2 Should they call
on the stock of newer countries for
their supply? They did neither Of
these things. They went to work to
develop the resources and capabilities
of their own lands. The states and
the mobiles supported the work. Sci
entists labored and managers expert
mented. Forest schools were estab-
lished to spread through the land the
knowledge that had been gained.
Finally they piled up mass of exact in
formation about trees and everything
related to their life, and established a
system of forest management that is
one of the finest monuments of the
thoroughness, the conservatism and the
patience of the German race. And to-
day the forest stands as one of the
prime objects of the peoples regard, a
source of health, wealth and national
Independence.

Mexico and the Yaoufs.

The struggle between the Yaqui In
dams and the Mexican government has
been inevitable ever since the construc-
ton OF the Mexican Central railroad
brought civilization within an easy
march Of the Yaqui territory. With
the extension of the area of gold dis
coveries in Sonora the conflict could not
be longer averted and it will have mel
ancholy interest in history as prob
ably the last stand of the red man on
this continent against destiny. The
Yaqui is not as aggressive or as-blood-
thirsty as the Apache, but he is fully
as impervious to civilization and quite
as good fighter.

A NEW RAILWAY.

The improvements that have
been made during the past few
years in its track, roadbed, bridges,
trestles, tunnels, ETC., have vir-
tually made new road of the
NORTHERN PACIFIC. The roadbed
has been widened, trestles filled
in, new and heavier steel rails laid,
grades cut down, wooden bridges
replaced by steel ones, curves TAX
en- out, tunnels lined with brick
and concrete, and improvements
made wherever possible. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were
spent in this way during 1898 be-
sides large sums in previous years.
New and mammoth locomotives
capable of drawing the heavy
trans-continental passenger trains
at seventy-five miles per hour
when necessary, have been bought
Progress and advancement have
been and are the order of the day.
Such q road. SOLID, SMOOTH, SAFE,
it is pleasure to ride over, espec-
tally as it runs through the finest
scenery of the Northwestern En-

HIS SINS FOUND HIM OUT.
The Checkered Career Of a Man Who
Founded n Bogus Diamond
Mine I'm Arizona.

81 sAw a reference the other day to
the great Arizona diamond field swim
de-" said an old jeweler to New Or
leans Times-Democrat man. 1T was
sprung ON the public just 80 years
ago, and l remember the excitement it
created. The originator of the scheme
came from New Orleans. He was q
brilliant man, chemist, geologist and
natural diplomat, but he lacked moral
counterpoise.. He and his associates
procured a number of uncut stones
from Holland, and sailed a canyon
in the mountain south of the Gila river.
Then followed the discovery and the
organization of company and In q
few months nearly 100000 worth OF
stock was sold. 1t was several years
before the exact character of the swim
die was developed, and by that time the
affairs of the company were SO con-
fused that nobody cared to undertake q
prosecution.
II saw the professor as he was
called, at Ogden, Utah, in 1884, and he
described the whole affair with great
glee. Afterward he was mixed up in
two other shady enterprises. One was
a scheme for aging whisky and the
other was device for refining sugar
by electricity. Both were fakes, but
he made lot of money out of them, and
as usual escaped punishment. 1t was
the old story, however; he went broke
in the end and died few years ago in
the charity ward of a Chicago hospital.
A good deal of the diamond mine stock
was taken in New Orleans, and l dare
say some of it is kicking around here
to this day."

MAKING LAST TRIP.

Boston, Feb. 2S-The Moravia was
making her last trip for the Hamburg
American line, as she had been sold re-
Gently to the Sloman line of New York.
She was almost three weeks overdue
in this city, and ii was thought that
the delay was owing to some trouble
with her machinery. The Boston
agents of the Hamburg American line.
William Johnston & Co.. had received
no direct news of the loss of the
steamer UP to late th.- afternoon, but
they were not prepared to question the
report of the Gloucester captains. and
explained that probably the Moravia
had struck while making for Halifax
in a disabled condition.
The steamer carried a cargo of gem
eral merchandise, mainly for Boston
firms, including several leading dry
goods houses and crockery firms. Both
vessel and cargo We're insured. A full
outward cargo for the vessel has been
waiting at the docks here for some
time.
The Moravia was an iron vessel of
2417 tons register, built at Glasgow in
1883, 1t is said in this city that the
Moravia was laden with sugar and had
no passengers. She carried a crew of
about 30. The value of the vessel is
about 100000. Both vessel and cargo
We're insured at Hamburg.
