ENSIGN is -MARTIALED

Him In the Proper
Way.

BERLIN. April 15.--A court martial has
been ordered to try Ensign Hussner Of the
German navy, who, on Good Friday, killed
an artilleryman named Hartmann, with his
sword at Essen for not saluting him prop
erly.
According to Hussner's version OF the
affair, Hartmann was a former schoolmate
Of Hussner and the latter AYERS that the
artilleryman attempted gross familiarity
in trying to shake hands with him after
he, Hussner, had arrested Hartmann for
the informality Of his salute. Then. Huss-
ner adds, Hartman started to run and the
ensign thrust him through the back with
his sword, afterwards saying: when
draw my sword blood must flow"
Hussner has written to Hartmann S
mother saying It was hard that his duty
as Prussian officer" required him to act
as he did.
In Hussner's notebook were the names
Of several privates who have been reported
by the ensign for not saluting him as re-
spectfully as he desired

could make them do their duty or select
! their successors without trouble. He said
that he thought the Improvement club
should take the matter up. He closed with

swATow GLAZED WARE.
Peculiar CrockeFy from china Thass
IL CharacteriAtic of the section
from whence II Comes.

A little treaty port on the Chinese
coast, known as Swatow, has given
Its name to an odd variety Of glazed
earthenware, which, long favorite
in the far east, has begun 20 appear
in the markets OF New York and other
American cities. The name is coinci-
dental, states the New York Post.
Swatow is small place, whose chief
industry is the proviaioning of steam
ships and sailing vessels. But 1t Is the
port of the big city OF Chow Chow Foo.
whose population is said to be mill
lion and half, and whose industries
are famous In the Chinese empire.
Near the latter are inexhaustible beds
OF kaolin, blue, gray, and other fine
clays, which have supplied its kilns
for centuries. Formerly, IL exported
its keramie wares overland to Cam
ton.
The opening OF Swatow 70 the "for-
eign devils" diverted this traffic by
degrees 20 the latter port, more sS-
pecially that in keramic goods deg
tined for export to foreign lands. The
wares in question were exhibited In
the swatow shops, and found custom
ers first in steamship officers and then
in travellers. The storesfourished and
ere long began 20 export on their own
account. In this way the goods came
TO be known as Swatow ware.
The foundation Is a gray earthen-
ware with thick opaque glaze, usual
ly sea-green, and the articles are fash
ioned after, or decorated with, marine
forms. The commonest type is a
wall packet made In the shape Of a
crab, lobster, crayfish, rock cod, carp,
or mullet. The colorature varies. In
the best specimens an attempt Is made
20 reproduce the natural appearance
Of the animal initiated. In the larger
number the glazing is in two shades,
sea-green and sepia. Other styles
Of glazing are in seaweed brown and
n crude vermilion suggesting the hue
OF boiled lobster. The modelling,
though coarse, Is strong and effective.
Upon higher plane are wall pockets

In grayish-yellow neutral tint. light
umber, or sienna. and the decorations
In their natural colors. sSome Of the
designs in this class are exceedingly
attractive. None could be simpler than
a fish bowl made apparently Of fisher

A soup tureen was framed In imitation

THE DOGS OF LABRADOR.
There Has Never Dscn Case Of Hy-
drophobia Known im the His
tory OF the Country.

It Is a remarkable fact that while
virtually every resident of Labrador
has been bitten by the savage doga
of that region, there has never been
q case of hydrophobia there, says the
Baltimore American. This fact Is at
tested by DR.. Grenfell, the superin-
tendent Of the English mission there,
who has now spent ten years on the
coast and treated over $4,000 patients.
He cannot explain this singular cir
cumstance; II may be due to climatic
conditions, but II is more probable
the result of the wolfish strain In
the breed of the dogs. The extraor-
dinary part of 1t is that such a con-
dition should have allied with the
most absolute savagery on the part
of the animals. They are the fiercest
of any brutes trained to be of serv-
ice to mankind; they will attack any
thing they believe weaker than thenl-
selves, and they are only kept In sui
lection by the unceasing use of the
lash.
LhNl AlA AAHDh bGANt0A Ai1
wolves and the earlier Newfoundland
dogs brought there, and by this time
almost all but the wolfish character
istics are eliminated. The coast folk
find them indispensable, yet live in
fear OF them. No man ventures
abroad without his whip; every wom-
an carries a stout club; IL Is death
TO child to get among them. Only
last month the little son of the
agent Of the Hudson Bay company's
post at Sandwich inlet was attacked
by these brutes. Within n minute they
had inflicted over 60 bites on the
child, and but for the devotion of a
pet retriever dog and the lads moth
err promptly flying to the rescue, he
must have been literally torn to
pieces. He was taken to the hos
pital at Indian Harbor, where he Is
making quick recovery. This was
more fortunate outcome than was
the case at Cartwright last year. A
child wandered from home and when
the distracted mother flew TO where
pack of angry dogs were rayening.
she found nothing but the bones of
her offspring. A little girl was so
badly mangled by them at Punch
bowl last year that she never recov-
cred.
Every year brings Its quota Of
these mishaps, while there are scorea,
II not hundreds, Of cases of adults
being bitten. It is impossible to
keep sheep, goats or poultry on the
coast because Of the brutes. and their
determination would have been ef-
fected long ago were IL not for the
fact that they are the only means
by which communication II kept up
in winter. There are no horses on
the coast, as there Is nothing to feed
them. Teams Of dogs, attached to
sledges, are the means of travel.
With them the settlers go from har-
Dor TO harbor, make hunting trips
TO the interior, haul firewood from
the forests and convey peltries to the
Hudson Bay company's posts. These
dogs play the same part In the econ
omy Of this region as they do in the
Arctics, and there the characteristics
are the same though we do not hear
Of such instances Of their savagery.

the soul Of man is more susceptible Of
the power Of the spirit of the crowd
than to any other modern social in
stitution.
1t would be interesting to observe
the morality OF crowdsand theiridea
reasoning power and imagination, the
effect of race, tradition, political and
social institutions, and education; the
power Of images, words and formaln,
and illusions. Probably the most sat
lsfactory study OF the popular mind
would be the action of leaders. The
mob yields readily to leadership and
is soon found to respond to hero,
sometimes of their own creation. The
power of the leader lies largely in the
charm OF confident, affirmative, fre-
quent repetition, and other mex
plicable force, contagion. Inspire a
few and they by enthusiasm and con-
tact spread the feeling or emotion

Its makeup and relations, and this
