ChiVaIry of DOGS.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson tells a num-
Der of new anecdotes to prove that ami
mails have distinct sense of chivalry,
which reaches it's highest development
in dogs. Dogs. seldom Or never bite or
injure females or the young of their
species, being, in fact, more chivalrous
in this respect than men. In hunt ting
the wolf the hounds almost instantly
give up the pursuit if they discover the
quarry to be vixen. 1t has been ad-
mitted always that animals have cour-
age and fidelity, but the traits have
been attributed to mere instinct, and
their virtues have not won any general
moral credit for the possessors. DR..
Hutchinson says one of the most de-
lightful things about the human spe-
cies is ''its colossal but quite uncon-
,scious conceit" in arrogating to itself
all the moral qualities. But this conceit
is giving way before the advance of
science, just as men no longer believe
that the sun and the stars were made
for the sole purpose of furnishing light
to people of the earth.-Contemp

GOLDSMITH'S PHILOSOPHY.
Seems to he Proving Itself In These
Latter Days of Pluto
cratic Rule.

Oliver Goldsmith, after himself
tramping all over Europe, wrote the
''Vicar of Wakefield" in which he
makes one of his characters, also a
European traveller, remark as follows:
I found that monarchy was the best gov
rnonwealths for the rich. I found shat
riches in general were in every country
another name for freedom; and that no
be DESTROYS. of subjugating the will CT
some individuals in society to his own.
We in America seem now to be dem on
strating in our political system the
truth of this observation of Goldsmith.
1t is quite certain that this common
wealth of ours is fast becoming most
favorable country for the rich to live in
and at the same time more and more
difficult for the poor. With it's multi
piled trusts and monopolies the poor
man stands but poor chance of better
ing his condition. The burdens of the
government are uniformly put with
great persistency in undue proportions
upon the backs of the industrious poor,
and the rich are allowed to escape them.
Most of the taxes imposed are of the
kind known as indirect so that the con-
sumner may not see the injustice of their
imposition. Capital is fairly in the
saddle in this country, while Flooding
labor, with the coil of another's law
about its neck, is dragged hopelessly
along-brother to the ox-little heed
ing and rarely corprehending the
cause of its detection. But the labc,rer,
nevertheless, is good partisan and
takes pride in adjusting the tether
about his neck by which he is led down
lower and lower into the depths of pow
erty. 80
: Goldsmith after all may be right, a
sad and humiliating thought. But
partisan tyranny is at the bottom of
the trouble. The people had an oppor-
tunity three years ago to get their
necks out OF the tangie, but neglected to
do it. The party net was too strong for
them, and it's meshes too close to per-
nit their escape. They are now getting
the gold standard and all that it i'm,
plies, including imperialism and large
standing army.-Los Angeles Herald.

A Danish daily is trying to coin, or

expressing in striking way the be-

most successful candidate seems to be

the hackneyed fn-de-siccle, the for
mer meaning the dawn of the century,
the latter the end of the century.
Curiously enough, no striking Danish

Bombnrding an Observatory.

On July 10 last an eruption of stones,
ashes and steam occurred from the
great crater of Mount Etna, and the
astronomical observatory situated near
the base of the browning cone of the
volcano had remarkable escape.
Stones were shot to height of more
than mile, and 80 holes were made by
these projectiles in the iron dome Of the
observatory, which covers large and
valuable telescope. Fortunately the
instrument was not touched. Fifty
holes in the ground near the obser-
vatory show how close and fierce was
the strange bcmbardment. Where the
falling stones pierced the wooden
floor holes were burned.-Youth's Gem

STANDING UP UNDER FIRE.
1t Takes n Good Deal of Courage to Do
1t in These Days of Long
Range Rifles.

speaking of the British officers in
South Africa standing up to be shot,
said Il man who was at San Juan hill,
1T certainly takes whole lot more
courage to be a soldier now than It
did in the days when they fought with
muzzle-loaders. Then a fellow could
see exactly who was shooting at him,
and IT the chap missed, as was usually
the case, he could stroll over and spit
him on his bayonet while he was re-
loading. That needed courage, of
course, but it was courage of the hip,
hip, hooray! sort-not the cold, des-
perate nerve that holds man to-
gether when bullets are buzzing like
bees and there isn't an enemy nearer
than a mile; you feel then that it's
all matter of blind, brutal chance,
and such a feeling, let me assure you,
is a very demoralizing one.
IAN officer, for instance, has been
standing erect a quarter of an hour
without a scratch; he takes two stems
and bullet knocks out his brains.
1t seems actually IS if he had been
waiting to get into it's way. Another
man stretches out his arm exactly in
time for q Mauser to smash his elbow
Still another sees a bit of shelter and
makes for it. He's just stretched him
self when ground shot plows
through him lengthwise. I've seen all
those things happen and a good mary
more Of the same kind when there
wasn't single Spaniard in sight, and
the best we could do was to blaze
away at the landscape. It's pretty
trying for an officer to stand I'D at
such time, but there's no doubt
about it steadying the men.
Zone of the peculiar things about
high power bullets is that they al
ways seem a good deal nearer and
more numerous than they really are.
A soldier on the ground thinks the
air is literally full of them, and if
he hadn't seen the officers walking
around quietly he might have difficult
ty in jumping up himself when the
word is given to charge. It would
seem like simple suicide. On the Sec
ond day of the Santiago fight 1
thought the bullets were passing over
US in a solid sheet, and I was much
surprised to see our captain get up
and begin polishing his field glasses
with his handkerchief If it hadn't
been for that I might be hugging the
ground there yet.''. i, .

A Sad Mistake.

Supposed to be suffering from the
effects of liquor, James Magee was
sent to the St. Paul workhouse when
he. was dying of cerebral meningitis.
An autopsy proved what had caused
his death. Magee was so years of age,
and apparently laborer. A police
man picked him up in West st. Paul
a week before. He was charged with
drunkenness and vagrancy because he
could not tell his address. He was
sent up for 40 days after spending a
day in the county Jail, as he was sup
posed to be sick. At the workhouse
he was seen to be i'll, and accordingly
was sent to the city hospital, where

Intelligentsedler sizes up the union
question thus: I'm Sweden it seems to
be very difficult to yield to the demand
for two ministers for foreign affairs in
the union. But brave and thinking
politicians of a practical turn of mind
are beginning to raise their voices in
favor of the dissolution of the union
and a new alliance of defense between
two entirely independent states. These
Swedish voices are still few, and have
but slight influence in government cir
cles. But it is sign of the times that
they are heard at all, and we must
hope that they will sway public senti-
ment more quickly than what seems
possible at the present moment. For
it remains stubborn fact that a com
mon minister for foreign affairs can
never be backed up by an amendment
to the union act. And as long us it is
not generally realized in Sweden that
the demands of the Norwegian Leftists
must be satisfied in every particular,
just so long the efforts of the Swedes
or the Norwcgians to solve the union
problem will be wholly work Of illu-
