Not long ago in New York a group of
boys engaged in teasing small dog. 1t
was a very hot. day, and the dog S
nerves, like those of human beings,
probably suffered At any rate, after
certain amount, of provocation, he be
came cross and took to biting. Unfor-
tunately, the victim happened to be a
boy who had taken no part in the
sport"
This illustrates practice which is
commoner than ii ought to be, and
should be labeled dangerous" for ii
is about as full of risk as leaving a
loaded pistol around where irresponsi-
BILE people can get at it. There are few
domestic animals which, with proper
training, will attack anyone. The dog
which has received kind and intelligent
treatment from puppyhood will behave
himself when he is grown. But there
are some people who find their chief
amusement in torturing and tormenting
helpless animals until, driven to exas-
perated madness, they retaliate, and
then of course, are pronounced vicious.
There is no more reason why a child
should be allowed to pinch, strike, kick
or otherwise torment an animal than
there is for its being allowed to treat
grown people or playmates in the same
way. In fact, there is rather less dan
ger, if anything, in the latter habit.
The average adult will not retaliate
VIXEN struck, kicked, or pinched by
child by biting it savagely and there
are some dogs that will.
When baby mauls kitten, pulls its
tail, and gets scratched, there are par
ents who think 1T proper to snatch up
the child, put II through a course of
commiseration and petting, exclaim
naughty kitty" and box the ears of
the cat if it has not discreetly fled.
These same parents become indignant
when their hopeful son is chastised at
school for some particularly impsh
misdemeanor. By and by they are con-
fronted with that same son in a dread
full scrape because he has murdered or
maltrcated some one not amenable to
the authority of the parents. They
wonder why Providence has been
pleased to affiict them III this manner.
Providence had nothing to do with the
case. They sowed the seed of night
shade and expected to reap sweet fruit
In the training of young minds, there
Is little chance of appealing to any very
abstract ethical ideas; but at any rate
one can refrain from encouraging self
ishness. Almost any child can be made
to understand that If 1t has been tor
menting dog or cat, and the animal
revcnges itself, tits only what the tor
mentor had reason to expect They
should also be impressed as forcibly as
possible with the good old English max
i'm about never hitting smaller antag-
onist. In short, most children can un-
derstand fair play and generosity, and
they should be taught that animals as
well as human beings have a right to
both. 4.

that a war between Holland and Ger

Communication with Caracas and b.
gotta is shut off owing to cable "acci-
dents" This probably means that there
is the dewitt to pay and no pitch hot,
except among the asphalt deposits down
in those regions. The situation at Pan
anna has resulted in showing the I'M
readiness of the Bureau of Navigation,
as at present managed, to meet emergen-
cies. The battleship Wisconsin is dead
to the world somewhere; the Machias
alone is Spn the way TO the theatre of
trouble. AS for the North Atlantic Squad
ron, that grand division of our fleet is
drinking pink tea at Newport and must
not be disturbed.

So far the Kitchener proclamation does
not seem to much distress the Beers.
Yesterday We learned that they had cap
tured British blockhouse near Brand
fort, in the Orange River country. For
people who must surrender or be banished
within Il few weeks the burgher leaders
are acting rather recklessly. 1t is posi-
bic that they fancy they must be caught
first before being sent into exile.

Swearing Bob Evans is the naval fea-
ture of the day. and SO obscures the more
important matter of Howison. But the
public has not forgotten its interest in the
story revived by the Boston Record"
Did Howison say the things about the sea
battle off Santiago and concerning Rear
Admiral Schley attributed to him in that
published interview? If he did he is unfit
to sit on the Court of Enquiry What
does Mr.. Long intend to do about it?

1t is said that the proposed plan to
build a ship canal along the line of the
Erie Canal has been abandoned. but that
canal for barges of a thousand tons ca
pacity may be constructed 1t is perfect
ly obvious that New York City has no
use for a ship canal connecting the Great
Lakes with the ocean even though 1t be by
way Of the Hudson River. New York has
no taste for any scheme that will permit
unbroken cargoes TO be carried right past
her wharves to the sea. Nor can we
blame her. Commercial self-preservation

Some well known Lancashire paper
making experts have lately returned from
a visit to America. made with the object
of determining what is likely to be the
nature of the threatened competition of
that country in the paper making indus
try. They report that without question
America is preparing for big business in
the production of paper for newspapor RS.
The most modern machinery for the man
ufacture of news reels is being put down
by firms with plenty of capital. and the
nary output. 1t is clear, paper making
experts say. that the Lancashire paper
making trade. so far as newspapers are
concerned. will have to go under in face
of the new competition. which may be
expected to be felt within twelve months

FOREIGN TOPICS.

Probably not a hundred people other
than those who frequent them are aware
that there is mosque where Mohamme-
dan services are held in London, as well
as a chapel where the followers OF the
creed OF Zoroaster can worship. Thus the
Moslem and the Parsee are as much at
home in the worlds metropolis at the
dawn of the twentieth century as they
would be in their native lands; for when
they are in their respective places of wor-
snip each can for the time forget that he
IS In a foreign country, and be, for the
time being. transported back to Asia. A
brief 100 years ago and religious federation
would probably never have allowed Mo-
hammedanism literally to build its temple

South Africa is a country of immense
distances, and it is interesting for the
purpose of realizing its area, to recall the
great extent of the railway systems. In
the Cape Colony the open mileage of the
Cape Government railways is about 2,OeO
miles. with $50 miles under construction,
and $50 miles of privately owned lines
In Natal there are upward of 800 miles
open, and short extensions. totaling 60
miles. on the north and south coasts, and
between Dundee and Vryheid, under con-
struction In the TransvaaI Colony there
are $50 miles open to traffic ana 200 miles
under construction, exclusive of the Wee
reeniging- Rand line. The Orange River
Colony possesses about 400 miles of open
mileage, and about 100 miles under con-
struction Rhodesia, although only dec
ade old, already possesses about 800 miles
Of open railway, and its three main sec
tons under construction-the Buluwayo-
Zambesi, Buluwayo- Salisbury and Bulu-
wayo-Tuli-aggregate about 500 miles. AL
together the open mileage in South Africa
amounts to upward of $500 miles. with
at least 1900 miles under construction
The figures are exclusive of the projected
extensions for which funds have not yet
been provided.
