of the most eccentric character. They
appeared fierce enough to make meal
off a man without waiting for grace,
but, in reality, to anything human they
will offer no serious Injury. But woe
to the dumb brute that faces their
fangs!
They will kill geese and ducks with
savage ferocity, tearing them to pieces
as if frenzied; they will attack and kill
sheep, calves and colts; they will even
destroy horses and cattle, so savage
and bloodthirsty is their disposition
and so prominent in their veins the
cruel strain of the wolf. An old Hud
sons bay region guide who had had
much to do with husllies told me of an
authenticated instance where a pack
of three dogs set upon and killed sew
eral cows before the owner, who had
brought them down to the fringe of civ
ilization, could get them in tether.
The typical huskie is red and gray
mixed, though now and then there will
be one almost black. Some huskies are
as red as fox, and all of them have the
sharp, pointed ears OF wild animal.
These ears are triangular, the upper
points, when the dog is aroused, stand
ing out sharply. The tails are very
long, sweeping the ground in some
cases, and closely resemble the tail of a
fox.
When the husl1ie is in repose ii
doesn 'tlookv very fierce, but when jump
ing in midair bowling with all the howl
of wild pair of lungs and showing its
yellow fangs, the creature gives you
vivid picture of wolfsh ferocity
The dogs are very strong, and a tandem
of three will haul a remarkably heavy
load. 1t would be impossible to keep
them very long in place even as cool
as the one where | saw them on their
way to the gold regions. Even in a eli
mate where the mercury but once in
the summer rose to SIS degrees they will
not live very long. They have been
bred and reared in a region of almost
eternal ice and snow, and they wilt in a
temperate climate. When they are be-
ing driven over long journeys they will
lie down on the ice or burrow into the
snow to sleep. They will not accept the
shelter of tent, refusing, even in the
coldest weather, to sleep inside it,
The huskies live on very short ra,
tions, fish being a favorite article OF
diet. On the north shore of Lake Su,
perior the fishermen sometimes use
these dogs to haul them in and out on
their fishing expeditions on the ice
keeping the dogs in cool, dark room
during the entire summer and feeding
them the gills of the fish caught in the
lake for shipment south. In spite Of
the greatest precautions, however, it Il
difficult to keep them in summer
though after a generation or so they
become used to the warmer climate

ward, thriyes on cold and willis il

What is so pleasant to see?
Winter winds may be piping dreadily,
Snow in a binding whirl,

Dear little boy and girl.
Scarlet and gold my flames go leaping,
Sparkles glitter and die
Curling, swlrling, quivering. creeping,
Ever at work am 1.

ARCTIC WOLF DOGS.
They Are Known ns "Huskies" I'm the
Far North, and Thrive on Cold
and wilt in Warmth.

"You may not believe me, sir, but
those wolf dogs will live for two weeks
on an Indian moccasin."
There was a string of strange, howl
ing wolflil1e dogs out in the narrow
street in front of us as the dog dealer
spoke. He had handled these dogs
ever since the Klondike excitement
broke out, sending them from the lit
tie Canadian town to the Pacific coast,
whence they were shipped up into
Alaska.
The dogs, or "huskies," had just
come down from Hudsons bay. 1t was
their first glimpse of civilization, and
they didn't like it. Neither did they
like the weather, for Though it was
late in the autumn and to one from a
warmer cline cold enough for winter
clothing, to these dogs it was insuffer-
ably hot and they were painting and
lolling.
If we are to take the word of those
who breed these dogs in the far north
they are descended from wolves, at
least on one side the family line. Their
wonderful powers of endurance, their
ability to live long on short rations,
their absolute immunity from far-lse-
low-zero cold make them very valuable
for the Kondike region. There were
about dozen in the lot to be shipped
and they averaged in yelue $14o each.
1 think I never saw before such rest.
less creatures as these huskies. The
word huskie is said to be corruption
of Eskimo. After they were driven
tandem down the street they were
staked out on green plat to await the
train that would take them west
When I came near them to make {
photograph they began to jump ant
tug at their tethers, setting up such {
terrific bowling as you never heard
save from the throats of pack o
wolves, and every one seemed bent OF

"I have a story of Gen. Thomas"
said the sergeant, (which l never have

1863, at Stone river, the confederates
hurled a tremendous force against
Rosecrans' left, and the first brigades
struck were thrown into confusion
and the men ran toward the rear in
something of panic. Our division was
not involved in this, but waited quietly
for the attack on the center, that came
a little later. In. the midst of the ex-

Rogers Charges Conspiracy.

Philadelphia, March 29.-Col John 1.
Rogers, of the Philadelphia baseball
club, said yesterday that he believed
the action of the National league in
changing the schedule as regards the
Louisville club was the result of a con-
spiracy to freeze out the Louisvilles.
The conspirators, in his opinion, had
the additional object of forcing the
league to support or buy out the Cleve-
Land and Baltimore clubs. and, pos
sibly, to buy out the Washington club.

Oak apples, or gals, are produced by
an insect known to entomologists un-
der the name of Cynips quereus petioli,
which deposits its eggs in the tender
bark of The young twigs of the oak.
Soon afterward the portion of the bark
in which an egg has been deposited be-
gins to swell, and ultimately forms a
rounded tumor or eXcrescence, some
times over an inch in diameter.

COMING TO AMERICA.

efnlanders Unwilling to Comply With
Decree OF Emperor Nicholas
Hull, Eng, April 14.-There is a great
rush OF young Finlanders for the United
States TO avoid the recent decree OF En-
peror Nicholas regarding Finland, which
provides for an increase of the Russian
military and naval forces and the ex-
tension of construction.
All the attempts OF the Firms to check
the recent Russian aggression i'm Fin
land have proved futile. General Bob
rikoff, the new governor general, has
compelled the Finnish senate TO send or
ders TO all ministers throughout Finland
forbiddlng them even to criticise the inn
perial ukase. lie has himself supple
mented the edict which makes the Rus
sian language obligatory in the univer-
sity OF Helsingfors and i'm the schools of
the provinces. with an order introducing
Russian coinage and directing that all
old Finnish coins shall be returned TO
the mint and removed from circulation.
The Swedish professors at the university
have been replaced by Russians.
Throughout Scandinavia, which is
warmly sympathetic with Finland, this
attitude OF Russia has provoked feel
ing of Intense Indignation.
