Wind Cave in South Dakota.

Commissioner Hermann, of the gov
eminent land office has instructed the
special agent of the interior to reopen
the Wind ave in the Black Hills of
South Dakota to inspection by the pub
lie. The cave belongs to the federal
government, and comprises about 1000
acres. No depredations will be per-
mitted on the premises, no specimens
will be allowed to be taken away by
tourists, and no fees will BE- permitted
TO be charged or received.
Wind cave is so called on account of
the strong rushing current of air
through the entrance. Several hun
dred feet below the surface a level is
reached from which miles of arched
avenues radiate in every direction, en-
bracing a succession of chambers. The
ceilings are pendant with gems of
~stalactite formation, while around the
edges and in inches are specimens OF
peculiarly wrought figures and forms,
resembling birds and animals.

DOG On ACTIVE Duly.
Diminutiye Canine Which Helped Clean the
Guns Of the Oregon.
philadelphia Press

1t was only a mongrel pup, the
commonest, humblest creature on
board the battleship Oregon. But
for him was reserved the distinction
Observing his country In an extremely
novel way.
He was born at sen on the man.of-
war and belonged to the gunner's
mate. In his earliest puphood he be-
came imbued with the fighting spirit
ofJack Tar and a liking for the guns.
The barrels of the huge thirteen
inch cannon. two In each OF the tur-
z ts fore and aft, were required to be
weekly swabbed with oil. The usual
method of accomplishing this, the
throwing OF a weight through the
guns, with cord and swab attached,
proved rather inconveniept. Anoyel
idea was hit upon-the pup should
perform the task.
His dogsbip was dimlnutive enough
to walk through the guns with ease.
In appearance he was not progresses
ing. He wore a coat of hair fifteen
different shades, representing as many
breeds.
The beloved mascot was scantily
fed, until he would have swallowed
even a sawdust roll with avidity. A
tempting bone was then throwninto
the guns breech and doggy trotted
eagerly after it. After a few such
successful experiments the bone was
placed at the mUzzle Of the gun, and
the pup soon knew his task. Every
week he carried the line attached to
the oil swab through each of the -four
huge guns. In the glistening barre
whence later sped the thunnerbolts Of
steel that helped set Cuba free trotted
this harmless quadruped, all uncon'
scious Of the service he performed
For when the guns spoke with iron
determination ut Santiago the clean
illness of their throats was due to thu
service of a dog.
Just before the Oregon had begun
her famous race she touched Mt Sar
Francisco. Here the mascot accom-
panied the sailors in their rambling
on the shore. His reckless Drawer,
caused his death. Reared on a ship
board, he hal never seen n trolle!
car. While crossing the tracks on
day the mascot saw n trolley ca
bearing down upon him. Nothing
daunted, he stood on the rails, bark
ing his defiance, and 50 met his un
timely end. But the memory Of tn
mongrel pup is still cherished b,
those men behind the guns.

WHY MISS HOBHOUSE is BEING
SENT OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA.

The reason for the deportation of
Miss Emily Hobhouse from South
Africa will not be at all matter of
mystery to those who have followed
the conduct of the Boer war.
Miss Hobhouse went to South AT
rlca last January as the representative
of charitable committee formed in
England for the purpose of raising and
fund for the relief of
distress among the South African wo-
men and children. She began her work
at the Bloemfontein camp on January
26, and afterward visited the camps at
Norval's Point, Aliwal North, Spring
fontein, Kimberly, Mafeking, return
ing to Bloemfontein on April %, Since
then she has spent much of her time
distributing supplies to the reconcen-
trados and in some fashion ameliorat-
Ing their hard condition.
The reports she wrote after these
visits first brought home to the stay
at-home Britons the horrors of these
so-cnlled refuge camps. Such was the
effect of these revelations that thous-
