Our Augusta county farmers who
have heard SO much about prosperity
have had their belief badly shaken by
go cent wheat, 81 cent pork. cent beef
and 80 cent corn, with no horse market
worth mentioning, especially with
sugar, oil. wire, horseshOes, nails. and
all of the thousands OF things farm
or must have trippled in price, by the
trusts. Will the farmer forever be the
easy prey for the money sharks and
schemers!

ISLANDS NAMED FOR DOGS
whence the Tsiand of the Taikfns
Dog,, Derived Its Name.

Dozens. some say scores, of islands,
of greater or less dimensions, are
known as ''Little Dogs" Dog Islands"
"Rio Dogs" etc. An island in the
Thames, now part Of London, is called
the isle of Dogs" Three lofty, rocky
Islands near st. Thomas, Virgin islands,
ara known as "The Great Dog" George
Dog and the "West Dog" There are
"Doe islands" in the Malayan arcAi-
pelapo: on the coast Of Maine; on the
coast OF Pranklin county, Fla. and an
other in the Ser-wati group
On the coast of Kamschatka thereis
an island known as "The Island of Talk
ing Dogs." The curious story con-
nected with this spot OF land and the
one thar gives it the name it bears Is
this, according to an Asiatic legend:
The first inhabitants cf the far north
did not employ dogs, but drew their
walrus-rib sleds themselves. After ages
had elapsed men made an attempt 70
use the dogs Of that region-which, by
the way, talked just as men do--as
beasts Of burden. The talking dogs,
however, argued the case with their
would-bc masters, and were not long
in proving that they had enough to do
to catch game for themselves and the
children OF men.
But the men soon learned the use
of the bow and arrow and the spear,
thus running the occupation OF the talk
ing dogs. Again an attempt was made
to harness them to sleds, hut they re-
belled, and all swan out to the island,
afterward known as ''The Island of the
Talking Dogs"
Here the game was scarce, and the
dogs soon turned cannibals, and By the
end Of the first winter there were only
seven left. Some human Kamschat-
kans volunteered to row out to the
island and bring of the remnant Of the
dog colony. But the dogs refused TO
leave their barren island, saying:
What people are you? We have never
seen you before" For thin sntruth
Chami, the dog god. took th,ir voices
away from them, and until this day
they have been the dumb servants OF
man--Philadelphia Times.

Picked oysters.

The old-fashioned way to pickle oys-
ters was as follows: Separate the oye-
ters from their juice. Pour over the
oysters a boiling hot brine made in pro-
portion of four tablespoonfuls OF salt
to one quart of water. Let the oysters
stand in this brine until il is cold, then
drain them out and put them in mix
ture of two-thirds of their own juice and
one-third good vinegar. Heat the juice
and vinegar boiling hot and pour it over
the oysters after draining them out Of
the brine. Add a teaspoonful OF whole
mace, the same amount of whole cloves
and whole peppers to every quart OF oys'
ters. As soon as the oysters are cold
they are ready to serve. but they will
keep some time in cold place in win

''FRERE CAMP. Natal, Jan. 8.-The
following is from White, dated 2 p. m.
yesterday: An attack was commenced
on my position, but was chiefly against
Caesars camp and Wagonhiu. The
emmy was i'll great strength and rushed
the attack with the greatest courage and
energy. Some of the entertainments on
Wagonhill were three times taken by
the enemy and retaken by US. The at.
tack continued until 7:30 p. IN. One
point in our position was occupied by
the enemy the whole day. But at dusk,
in very heavy rainstorm, they were
turned out of this position at the point

ner by the Devons, led by Colonel Park.

BLAM I'D JAMESON RAID.
Balfour Said 1t Gave the Beers aa E3
ease to- Increase Armament.
Defends Government.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-Arthur J. Balfour.
annual address to his Manchester CON
stitnents An immense audience gave
him an enthusiastic reception. He said
in part:
lit is true that the government knew
the situation contained elements of
peril, but 1t Is not true that they re-
garded the war as anything like inevita
BILE. If it be asked why the government,
knowing the TranSvaal was increasing
its ornaments, did not protest, the mel
ancholy reason rests in the Jameson
raid, which gave the Transvaal a chance
to say it WIS arming not for aggression
but for self protection"
Further along he said:
Even the tactical misfortune at
Ladysmlth or the extent of the Beers
invasion of British territory is not such
as need by itself brighten even the most
timid y
In describing the artillery equipment
he said
DO not believe that your soldiers are
sent to the field with worse gun than
France or Germany would use in similar
circumstances. The guns supplied to
Sir George White were intended for
mobile force, not for the defense of d
beleaguered fortress. The course of the
war has revealed the necessity for guns
less mobile but of greater range, and
these are being put out abundantly.
DFurther along he said III part that the
war was lone in defense of our African
empire, and that, through good and
evil fortune, they would pursue it I'M
swervingly to the end. SO that no such
war should ever be waged in South AT
RIGA again
In conclusion, Mr.. Balfour ridiculed
the foreign prophecies that the dissolu.
ton of the British empire was about to
begin.
