Alaskans' Dogs Are Not Sub

What is termed by Judge James wickersham, of the United States dis trict court of Alaska, the most impor- tant legal question that ever has been brought before him in the North was developed at Rampant last month.
 It involves the question Of jurisdic- ton in Alaska, and the peculiar point Is developed that In Alaska the dog, which Is such valuable animal in the North, is not a subject Ot larceny.
 The case developed out of the al- legged theft of a dog by E C. Burkell, a Rampant tailor. F. NJ. Barnes, an at torney, formerly of Skagway, who at tended the court and had many cases before Judge wickorsham, gave this information at Dawson.

A MEAN ADVANTAGE.
Clint Came Back at Him He
Was the Victim.

- ~ =
I John Bruce and Clint Pease were
chums. Their stores adjoined, and
when business was dull the two
young merchants visited back and
forth. One cold, blustery day, when
customers were few, Clint sat behind
the stove in Johns store. A young
woman came in and John stepped
forward to wait on her, states the
Brooklyn Eagle.
II am soliciting subscriptions for
an order for our church, said she.
Now, solicitors of this character
were numerous in that town, and
merchants used to try to dodge
them. since it was not deemed good
policy to refuse to contribute. So
John was considerably pleased with
himself when happy way out of his
present difficulty suggested itself to
his quick mind.
You will have to speak to the pro-
prietor about that, said he, politely.
..'You will find him very liberal man.
He is back there by the stove"
John grinned as the young woman
approached Clint and stated her case.
How much are the merchants gen
orally giving?" Clint asked, with
grave interest in the cause.
4.Some are giving as much as a dol
lar" she answered, ''but we are
grateful for any sum, however
small"
John" said Clint. with an air of
authority, give the young lady So
out of the drawer
And John, Of course, had to do It.

"You have given much attention to

'sMore than to anything else"
"And no doub: you could give

THE LOG MEETIN' HOUSE.

Sunday mornin's when the sunshine
Seems to filter down as still,
An the leaves amt hardly stirrin',
An the fur-off wooded hill
Looks as hazy an as distant
An Intangible as dreams,
linen know haze is hangin'
over all the country streams.
Then see the brethren gather
In the way they useter do
BY the little OF log meetin' house
My happy boyhood knew.
When I'm tuslin' with my collar
with my chin up in the air,
An the city chimes are ringin'
Think, oh, think OF Over There!"
Then's the times quit my wrigglin'
An I see an oil log church
In a clearin' by the roadside,
An see the ragged birch 81
An bunch of dogwood blossoms
Are a gracin' Of the pew
In the little OF log meetin' house
My happy boyhood knew.
Just some little OF hard benches
Used on weekdays for the school,
But the winders all wide open
An the breeze a tricklin' cool
From the birch an pine an naples
That flung shadders brown an deep.
An the circuit rider preachin'-
I kin almost go to sleep
When think hear him talkin'-
Oh, I'm dreamin' of the blossoms
OF the dogwood wet with dew
In the little oil log meetin' house
My freckled boyhood knew!

A Washingf ton grande dame recently
accepted an invitation to visit young
kinsman, an army officer stationed at
b remote post in the west. The Wash
ington Post describes the lady as
woman who likes to improve her MIND;
but she is also woman of much per-
sonal dignity, with regal carriage,
and an air OF sweeping all before her.
She considers it duty to investigate
eyerysnem phase Of life which she "a sees,
and on arriving at the army post want.
ed to see everything of interest.
One day, while her host and host

body in sight, SO she went in among
the animals and examined and petted
them. q
Now it happened that on this oeca-
SION she wore asdrees of very light
color; and as the army pack mules are
accustomed to be led by the whitest
animal among them, the unfurled
white parasol of the visitor, with her
light ydrese, swakened their .Quiek in

In consequence of numerous COM

ordered stricter observance of the

BRAINWEIGHr AND GREATNESS
Evidence Adduced That There Really
Il = Relation Existing Be-
tween Them.

Within the last few years the impress.
sion has gained ground that the weight
Of q mans brain gives little Indication
of his mental gifts, says the New York
Tribune. It has been suggested that
there might be some relation between
the thickness sOf the layer of gray
matter which is believed to be asso-
ciated with the higher functions, and
the quality of the owners work. It
eissom etimes1conceded that the NUM-
Der st conyolutfons, or small lobes.
which are revealed by post-mortem ex-
animation may also havega good deal
Of significance. But that weight alone
IS important has been questioned It
has been pointed out that the brains
of IDIOTS are often as heavy as those
of sages and poets. Aag
DR.. Edward A. Spitzka, of this city,
ina,recent pumber Of the Philadelphia
Medical Journal,, discusses the ques-
ton in an interesting fashion. He de-
clares that many Of the brains Of inn
beetles and criminals that have been
referred to in such comparisons were
unnatrifally enlarged by disease, and
therefare did not prove any thing. He
nsfstxAhat only healthy brains ought
to be considered. Again, in num-
Der Of instances the brains of really
great men had shrunkefl considerably
IN consequrnce~of wasting sickness in
the last year OF two of their lives, and
did notgit Ahe skull The marked size
of the Avlfy. though, would give some
hint 81 the originall sizesf When prop
er allowance has bden made for such
alterations. DR.. Spitzka is convinced
that the testimony is decidedly in IA
yor Of the old doctrine. WI =,
Several other influences affect brain
weighE S4a ture and build, nationality
andsot her factors enter into the prob
lena DIR. SSpitzka doessnot consider
these, though he has deemed it neces-
sary to remind hissreaders of them.

had capacity of 1862 grammes. The
table shows an average of 1,473
which is from Is to 1875 more
than the weight of the average Euro
pean brain.
Carrying his analysis further, the
writer says that the greatest brain
weights on the whole are exhibited by
men devoted to mathematics and other
exact sciences, while natural science
comes next, art, literature and phil
losophy third, and 'tmen of action" in
politics and military affairs rank
fourth. That classification might be
altered, however, II the
weight Of these mems bodies at the
most active periods of their lives were
known, and if the percentage of brain
weight to avoirdupois were ascer-
tained. Such data seems to be unavail-
bile now, but if it were secured in the
case OF men now living. and whose
brains have been bespok&n, the world

professions in which brain weight
counts for the most.
