The Eskfmo,s .HFusyrie:

The wild dog, uninf1uenced at all by
association with man, is typical Of
nothing but the wolf. and in the cir
cumpolar ice he is found in numbers
rowing over the fields Of snow and ice,
frequently in company with the
wolves. The Eskimos have taken
these wild creatures and by a rude
process Of selection and training they
have developed the 'shuskie, = /. a. coll
loquial abbreyiat ton Of the word Es-
kimo. These animals represent "a type
}of dog but little removed from the
wolf hardy, vicious, swift Of foot and
keen of eye. They have been trained
to- haul sledge loads i of goods across
the snow and ice and this comes as
natural to them as for pointer to
point. They possess the blood Of the
wolf, however, in their I. veins the
faint of the jackal. At the first oppor-
tunity they will run away and join
+ the wild dogs and deteriorate rapidly
in their company !. Throughout the
great northwest tits hard work to
make up a full team Of strictly pure
huskies. n The leader$of the teamis in

Five Indian Queens.

Queens representing the Ave civilized
tribes in Indian Territory are to be a
feature OF a fair and carnival to be
held IN Fort Smith, Ark. ~ The Choc-
5taWs, Chickasaws and Creeks have
1signifed their acceptance Of the invl-
tation held out by the executive com
!mittee, and there seems. to be no doubt
Of acceptance by the other tribes. This
will; be the first time in the history
of the United States that the tribes
ever took part in an undertaking in
which white men presided. 1t is pro-
posed that the queens shall be chosen
by the tribes according to their laws.
They must be full blooded Indians, and
each will have an escort Of full
FLOODED Indians in the carnival. They
will have the place of honor among
queens chosen from the cities sur
rounding Fort Smith, and the occasion
will be made one in which the Indians
and whites will be drawn more closely
together. *:2E NTH

Foreign Trade with China.

n The most remarkable fact that
should be kept in mind in connection
with the Chinese question is this, that
of the total annual trade Of China,
$345, 000, 900, the share of the British
empire is 6s.5 per cent. It is British
trade first, and the rest nowhere.
Japan's share is only II per cent,
while the United States comes third
with under 10 per cent and Russia a
modest fourth with less than per
cent. AS for the other countries who
have prominently taken hands in the

that Of all I other national-ties
amounts to only 10 per cent.
