DOGS AND THEIR CHARACTERS.
Tie Vigor ard Hardships of CANNES

The Alaskan or Eskimo dog Is very

Of the extreme north. where the reindeer

admirably.
A team of twenty OF these dogs, with
no two Of them in a straight line from
the driver. presents an odd appearance to
one accustomed to other methods of loco
motion. but the manner in which such
team will get over the ground soon con-
vinces the stranger traveller that no bet-

The derivation of the names of different
species of dogs forms an interesting specu-
lation. Thus. mastih is the term applied
to very large and powerful species of tie
canine family. and there is considerable
conflict of opinion regarding the origin OF
the word.
Some claim that it is derived from the
Italian mastino. or the French masSin,
both Of which signify large limbed.
This word. it is said. was gradually cor
rupted into nasty, a Lincolnshire express
sion. meaning very large, muscular or big,
until it gradually assumed its present
form. Others. again. say its true origin
is the old German masten, to fatten. be-
cause the mastin is large dog. and seems
better fed than any other.
These animals were very highly priced
by the early Romans. who matched them
to fight in the arena with wild animals. 1:
is related that very often two or three
mastifs defeated lion in such combats.
Poodle is derived from the German pudel.

fondness for the water.
The shepherd dog. called collie in Scot
land. gains its title from its use as
guardian OF sheep. The bulldog derives
its name from the fact of its having been

of bullbaiting.

THE NEW CRUISERS.
Plans Discussed by the Naval Bonrd
on Contraction.


At meeting yesterday afternoon Of the
Naval Board on Construction there was
a general talk on the plans for the three
protected cruisers authorized by the Naval
Appropriation act. which became effective
July 1. The talk was informal. Only three
1t was agreed that no formal action should
be taken until all the members could be
assembled. One proposal that met with
favor was that the ships be constructed
on the plans Of the New York or Brook
Ign, thus ensuring a great saving Of time
in preparing designs and to that extent
expediting the construction OF the vessels.
1t was agreed that the ships should have
high rate OF speed from 81 TO 23 knots
being suggested. AS to the batteries there
appeared to be pretty general belief that
the main battery should be composed en-
tirely Of six-inch rifles, or perhaps cou-
pie OF eight-inch. and the rest SKIES a
suggestion which met with favor was that
the main battery should be composed OF
sixteen skies. seven each side and one
each in the bow and the stern, the idea
OF this concentration Of calibre being to
have all main battery ammunition suta-
bic for every gun.
The act says that each vessel shall be
OF about 5000 tons. but the three members
OF the board present yesterday were EVIL
IDENTIFY in favor Of exercising the dlscre-
ton given by Congress so as to secure
3 O00-ton ships. The determination was
reached to formally begin the consideration
Of plans as soon as all the members can
assemble.
The board decided to authorize the ex-
renditure of $4,000 for putting in new
boilers and doing the work to the training

FREEZING INJURIES MEAT FOOD.
Cold Storage Destroys the Flavor of
Most Products.

From the Sanitary Record)
Meats frozen and kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes in the ordinary sense-that is.
they do not purify. soften. or smell bad.
but they deteriorate in some intangible
way. After a certain time frozen meat
loses some life principle essential to its
nourishing quality. Such meat lacks flavor:
it is not well digested or assimilated. It's
savorless condition cannot be remedted or
successfully disguised by the use OF sauces
and condiments. Those who eat cold
storage food for any length Of time de-
yeIoped diarrhoeal disorders, lost in weight
and would eventually starve to death I'M
legs change of diet was made. The same
reasoning applies to timed fruits and veg
etnbles. They should not be used after a
certain period has elapsed. Especially
should people be warned against USING
stale eggs and old milk and cream. Milk
and cream are kept for days, rancid butter
is washed and treated chemically. but all
food. and especially cold storage food. is
damaged by long keeping and Will not

greatest abundance Of food. but it does
