THE AIREDALE TERRIER,

The Airedale terrier is an excellent
kind of dog with a singularly interest
ing story, says Country Lii in Ameri-
ca. He is the largest Of the several
breeds of terriers, and differs from
the rest of the family in being de-
cidedly less quarrelsome. Though
game in a fight he is not looking for
trouble. An Airedale makes a faith
full guardian of the house. He is also
a remarkable swimmer. Good-coated
Airdales can work for hours in the
water during the most inclement
weather, and, as they can be readily
taught to retrieve, they make ad-
mirable dogs for duck hunting. AS
a breed the Airdales are noted for
their attachment to one person
They are what is called a one-man
dog, recognizing but one person as
their custodian and obeying him
promptly while yielding little to
others who might be supposed To
have equal authority. Otherwise they
are self-contained, unassuming, even
reserved in manner
The evolution of the Airedale ter
rier is little short of revolution He
has been transformed from a fighter
and poacher into we'll hammered
dog suitable for a lady's escort In
fact he is a reliable all-round dog for
the country home.

SUBTLE CHARM OF INDIAN CITY.
Calcutta, Whose Inhabitants Still
Worship the Terrible Goddess Kali.

Calcutta, Whose Inhabitants Still
Worship the Terrible Goddess Kali.
The charm of Calcutta works
slowly, and, apart from government
house and its garden, there is moth
ing which at once, rushing in as
certain atmospheres do, fills the
imagination, and there is nothing
which, by enchanting grace or
romantic history, at once stirs the
mind. But the charm is the more
enduring, perhaps, because it is so
slow, so unassertive, so uncommon.
Calcutta, in fact, may be compared
with the subtle women of history
whose portraits in Estate galleries
leave US wondering how they altered
the fates of empires and consumed
the hearts of men. Its founder, Job
CharnoCk, was, we are told, mot a
beautiful person: he was block of
srough-hewn British manhood, always
a faithful man to the East India
company" In the year 1690-more
than one hundred and sixty years
after the Portuguese had first cast
anchor in the Hooghly-Charnock
with thirty sullen followers, who con-
fused the very name of the place
with Golgotha, climbed the eastern
banks to the three ruined mud huts
which made up the cotton-thread
bazaar of Sutaneti. It's sWampy land
,slopes away into forest path
which led to the shrine of Kali-Kali
the indefinable and obscene goddess
of destruction, with a black face,
three eyes (symbolizing the present,
the past and the future); a long gilt
tongue hanging out of her mouth;
four arms; her clothing a garland of
mems skulls. The forest path has
been cleared away, the jungle and
the marshes are now built upon, but
Kali is still worshipped: goats and
kids are sacrificed to her daily; men
and women Frustrated on the ground
worship her till the priest closes the
door of her temple each night. 1t is
almost impossible to discover just
what is felt about, and feared, and,
it may be, loved in Kali. She is
there, and she remains, with her his
tory and her secrets and her power,
eternally mysterious, eternally BAT
fling, a world of symbols to the
metaphysician, menace to the
ignorant, a reality to the despairing.

The DAHLIA REVIVAL.

The revival of interest in the dahlia
is one Of the most remarkable fea
turs of modern Horticulture. This re
vival is not a ''warmed-oyer enthusi
asm,' but a brand new movement
aroused by the Introduction of the
cactus" dahlia and other new forms
that have lately been developed. The
dahlia craze of the middle Of the last
century was caused by the perfection
of the show type, the formal globulaT
flower. A new era began with the
discovery of the cactus type. With
the crossing of the show and cactus
dahlias and the reaction against ex
cessive formality in all kinds OF
flowers, have come a host Of new
forms, which are for want OF a better
name called decorative dahlias, and
their possibilities of development are
greater than anything that has hither
to been magined.-Country life in

Sweden at the Fair.

Efforts are being made by influential
men in Sweden to induce the govern
ment to make a liberal appropriation
for Swedish display at the st. Louis
exposition. At a meeting in Stock

merchants and members of the riks-
dag, W. W. Thomas, the United
State minister, urged that a liberal
policy be pursued so that the country's
display would be a creditable one
Bishop Won Scheele, who has made
two extended visits to America; Count
Hamilton, Baron Carl C.. Bonde, Pro
fessnr Hjarne and Professor Bystrom
followed in similar strain. 1t is be-
lieved that the effect Of this enthusiast
tic meeting will be to stimulate the
government to ask for a liberal appro-
priation.

Tobacco dealers will not be able to
enjoy special fayors in the way OF
lower taxation, as is sometimes now
, the case, if me legislature passes a
bill which aroused some debate in
the lower house. The measure was
introduced by Mr.. Dahl, the Vernon
county member, whose district is i'll
the very heart OF the tobacco section,
and provides that the state tax COM
mission shall see that the same
grades of tobacco are taxed alike all
over the state. Mr.. Dahl explained
that it so happened that tobacco
companies were in the habit Of lCcaL-
ing their warehouses in those places
where they were permitted TO escape
their Just share of taxation. Slough
ton, for example, he said, had the
bulk of the business at the outset
but Edgerton, by offers Of lower
assessments, had drawn off a large
portion of it. Thus community
which sought to have an honest as
sessment suffered by the dishonest
course of another. A company, he
went on, wanted to build in Viroqua,
but finally concluded not to do SO be-
cause a neighboring place offered

The Whitehead bill to prevent the
docking of horses tails was passed.
The house bill increasing the COM
pensation of jurors to So day was
concurred in. The hottest words of
the session were passed in the as
sembly, when the house was con-
sidering the Barker bill to prohibit
political lobbyists from influencing
the votes Of legislators. Mr.. D. Evans
had introduced an amendment defn-
ing political lobbyists as including all
federal office holders, whereas the
Barker bill made it apply only to the
state officers and employees. During
the debate Mr.. Barker had exploited
the alleged industry of the game
wardens, factory inspectors and tim
Der agents, when Mr.. Dahl heatedly
declared that he didn't believe the
all, and he insinuated in rather a
direct personal fashion that the
whiskey was still on the breath OF
the gentleman from Milwaukee that
was furnished by the lobbyists two
years ago. Mr.. Barker, replying
vociferously exclaimed that at the
memorable allnight session of two
years ago, to which Mr.. Dahl had
evidently alluded, only coffee
had passed his lips, and he repealed
with indignation the insinuation made
Mr.. Cowling and Mr.. Wallrich at once
earnestly depIored the infusion OF
personalities into legislative work
The bill was finally recommitted tC
