Animals and Salt,

Among certain people there is a
strong idea that nothing is worse for
dogs than salt, but as a matter OF fact,
when administered in small quantities,
it materially assists the process of di-
gestion. There is no doubt, however,
that to give dogs or any. other animals
broth or pot liquor in which salt pork
or bacon has been boiled would be al
most equivalent to giving them a small
dose Of poison. The use of salt among
horses, cattle and sheep is advocated
by the highest veterinary authorities.
Pigs. on the contrary, are extremely
susceptible to the poisonous influence
of the agent, and experiments have
been made which had, after small
doses regularly administered, fatal re-
suits. Habitually, as a matter Of course,
all animals consume certain portion
Of salt, as it exists in certain proper
tons in most articles Of food. London

be many months before this momen-
tous question is settled, and both the
financial and political worlds will be
profoundly interested in the results.
Should it prove true, as some contend,
that the Northern Securities Company
has been so skillfully devised as to
violate no existing anti-monopoly
laws, there will unquestio tionably be a
rush of other railroads and corpora
tions for the same shelter from com
petition. It is argued that this pro-
posed security y-owning corporation will
not operate the railroads or engage iii
Interstate commerce; that it is strictly
an owning company, and as such is
not amenable to the Sherman anti
trust law or the interstate commits
sion. Whether the courts will accept
this view or not cannot be foretold; if
they should, and these anticipated
mergers follow, we may expect one of
two things: new, legislative restric-
tions, or ultimate government owner
ship Of the railroads.

How Indian Tribesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.

How Indian Tribesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.
Some Of the Indian tribes over which
we rule give las great deal of trouble,
notably the A1ahsuds. The ,Mahsuds,
however, are not by any means the
worst of the Indian robber tribes, the
unenviable distinction probably falling
to the Bhils, who are the cleverest
Scoundrels in the world, both in their
methods Of acquiring other peoples
property and in evading pursuit.
They are very proud of their skill in
pilfering and openly boast of it. One
Of them once told British officer that
he could steal the blanket from unde.,
him and was promptly challenged to
show his ability. That night when the
officer was fast asleep the Bhil robbei'
cut a hole in his tent, crept noiselessly
in and gently tickled the hands and
feet Of the sleeping msp. The officer
stirred uneasily and turned over. In
this way the Bhil was able to pull the
blanket out little way. By repeating
his performance he finally succeeded
in Cooking the blanket completely
from under the sleeper. ..N
When engaged in his nefarious little
games, the Bhil wears hardly any
clothing, and his 1.-THE body is rubbed
with Oil to facilitate escape from any
would be captors. When hotly pursued
by the British troops, the robbers make
use of very clever device. They con-
ceal their scant clothing under their
small round shields and scatter them
about to resemble stones or powders;
then, picking up few twigs-if there
are any to be had-they assume all
sorts Of grotesque attitudes, their al
most feshless limbs silhouetted against
the dark night sky closely resembling
the charred limbs of a tree. Absolute.
ly motionless, they hold their positions
till the enemy has passed them.
In this way British subaltern in
charge of a party sent to capture some
Bhils was considerably startled one
evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight of the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by clump of
gnarled and bent tree trunks, tired and
hot from their hard exertions. The Of
flcer in charge took off his hat and
placed it on the end of broken limb,
when instantly there was wild scream
of laughter. and the tree trunks sud
denly came to life and vanished in the
darkness.-London Express.

SOME WRITERS.

Locke is said to have spent over SIX
years in the preparation of his essay.
"On the Human Understanding"
Lamartine, the great French poet,
was happily married and received
great aid from his wife in all his un-
dertakings. -
The great Dante was married to a
notorious scold, and when he was in
exile he had no desire to see her, al
though she was the mother of his six
children. ~. E
Wolfe is said to have written s'The
Burial Of Sir. John Moore" in one even
ing directly after news had been
brought Of the defeat at Coruna and
the death of the gallant British officer.
A friend Of the late Walter Besant
relates that the novelist always kept
on his desk before him list Of the
characters of the novel he happened to
be at worl on, their relationship and
appearance. E.s
Hans Christian Andersen formed his
style by narrating his stories to vari-
GUS groups Of children before he wrote
them down. His one thought was to
become famous, and he was very care
full not to make any enemies.
Dickens says in the introduction TO
s'David Copperfeld" that he spent two
years in the composition of that novel.
He did not usually require SO long a
time, many of his novels being finish
ed in less than wear and most of his
shorter stories in a few days.

!CURIosl.1Es OF MICA.

Its Appearance Before 1t Is Split
Into Sheets.
The mica as it comes from the mines
IS in blocks which are theoreti ically
short rhombic pEisms. but practically
are scarcely recognizable as such, hav-
ing a very .rougl and uneven contour.
They have a very perfect cleavage
parallel to the base and may be split
into lamina thinner, than the thinnest
tissue paper, and these lamina form
the familiar transparent stove panes
end lamp chimneys. The exterior por-
tions Of these blocks are opaque, brittle
and worthless, presumably from the
penetration of water, for mica soon
decomposes when exposed to any con
siderable Weathering. A thick layer
of plates has therefore to be removed
from either face Of the blocks before
any mica Of commercial size Or value
is reached, and the sheets split from
the remainder are surrounded by a
wide margin Of worthless material.
But the difficulties and losses of
mica mining are far from being all
enumerated. Even when occurring in
blocks of commercial size it is rem
dered yalueless, or comparatively so,
by one or more Of a series Of defects,
which may be classed as color, specks,
ruling, ribbing and wedge formation.
It somet etimes occurs literally pied with
black dots, consisting in general of
black oxide OF iron or garnet, and
when even q few Of these are present
its commercial value is destroyed, be-
cause such mica when used as an insu-
lator is peculiarly liable to puncture,
the specks forming practically short
circuits for the electric current. The
same is true Of streaks, which are
sometimes turned to red rust
Some otherwise excellent mica is
found to be ruled or cut, as it were,
with a, series Of perfectly straight
lines, parallel to one side: of the crys-
tai, SO that on being split the mica
falls Immediately into strips; or, again,
instead Of being striped or ruled, the
mica is often deeply ribbed or CORFU
gated parallel to the adjacent edges of
the crystal, SO as to give the appear
ance Of the letter All. or, rather, v,
whence it is termed "a mica" As the
ribbed portion has to be cut away in
the sheet, such mica is Improbable
unless the blocks be large. Wedge
mica is that in which the block is
thicker at one end than the other, the
laminR partaking in the unevenness.
Such blocks are wholly worthless ex-
cept as scrap. ngineering Magazine

First Heavy Snow of the Season Begins
Falling on the Missouri Slope
Last Night.
Trains on the Northern Pacific Little
Delayed, but May Have Trouble

Snowplows Have Been Called into Use
for the First Time During the
Winter Season.

The first heavy snow storm of the
winter is prevailing today, snow hay
ing fallen heavily last night and dur
ing the day. There is wind with
the snow that is drifting it in many
places, and makes roadways bad and
travel difficult The railroads are also
experiencing some difficulty with the
snow, the first they have had this win
ter. The roads were in good shape to
fight the snow. and have several large
snow plows clearing this division. The
heaviest snow is encountered in the
neighborhood of Mckenzie. and few
miles ives. of Mandan
So far this has been favorable win
ter for the railroads and they have had
little use for snow plows in this state,
Last week. however, several trains
were delayed. The road is clear now
but with an increase of the present
wind, there will be much difficulty ex-
perienced by the road.
Trains east and west today were
nearly on time. The west bound
train had two engines. and looked win
try as it pulled into the station Little
difficulty was experienced as the snow
had cleared the track. Railroad men
hope the wind will lie low until part
of the present snow has melted OF
packed down, as it is extremely light
and stiff wind would fill up the cuts
and make travel difficult.

MOVEMENT OF LANDSEEKERS.

MOVEMENT OF LANDSEEKERs.
Pioneer Press: 1t is estimated by
railway officials that the number of
immigrants that will settle in the
northwest this year will more than
double that of last year. Approx
mately about 6O,000 people were car
ried by all the railroads through St.
Paul last year to occupy vacant lands
in Minnesota, the Dakotas. Northwest
Territory and the Pacific coast. The
railway officials believe the number
will easily reach 100000 this year.
Scores of homeseekers have already
passed through, but the general move
ment will not commence until this
week. For two weeks they have been
drifting through. and yesterday about
POO changed coaches at the union depot.
On account of the bad weather many
of the eastern trains were delayed, and
the west bound trains had to depart an
hour later than the scheduled time.
Both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific added extra coaches
to their regular trains. During the
rush these roads will probably have to
run special trains.
On some days of the week the ST.
Paul Chicago lines have decided to run
tourist sleepers at moderate price to
accommodate incoming and outgoing
hcmeseekers.
The states from which men come to
seek for new homes are principally II
hnois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka and southern Minnesota.
5 Compared with the number of inn
migrants from other states the number
OF immigrants from foreign countries
is small. What travel there is of this
kind is during April and May.
