1t seems to us that the members Of
the ADMINISTRATION who have recent,
discussed the tsriff on important pub
lie occasions have made the mistake
of expending on their Democratic fell
low citizens a good deal OF rhetorical
eloquence that might more profitably
have been addressed to their dissent
ing brothers in New England and the
west. II the Republican leaders can
close the gap in their own party the
work will pay them much better than
trying to win over the Democrats to
the stand-pat doctrine. The former
may not be. but the latter manlfestly
is impossible. = Washington Post.

Scientific observation justines the es-
innate that daily average of GOO 600
tons of water Is received into tile Dead
sea from the Jordan and other sources
during the year. During the rainy sea

the amount Is very much greater; dur
ing the dry season It is OF course very
much less. but TINS average VIII be
maintained year after year There is
no outlet, and the level is kept down by
evaporation only. which IS very rapid
because OF the intense heat. the dry at
mosphere and the dry winds which are
constantly blowing down the gorees be
tween the mountains. This evaporation
causes haze or mist TO hang over the
lake at all times. and when 1t rs more
rapid than usual heavy clouds form
and thunderstorms sometimes rage with
great violence in the pocket between
the ellis even In the dry season. a
flood OF rain often falls upon the sur-
face of the sea when the sun is shin.
ing, and the atmosphere is as dry MS a
bone half mile from the shore. The
mountains around the Dead sea are
rarely seen with distinctness because
of this haze.

The utility of the rattle to the rattle
snake is problem still awaiting solu-
ton. 1t has been supposed to be useful
as paralyzing fits prey through terror
excited by the sound thus induced.
But this Is very doubtful explana-
ton. 1t is akin to the notion formerly
entertained that serpents had a power
of fascinating other creatures. Others
have thought that 1t seems to excite
the curiosity of animals and so brings
them within the rattlesnake's reach.
1t has also been supposed that IT serves.
as It may do, TO enable snakes OF diff
ferent sexes TO find each other and also
to guard the animal from attack when
It is helpless from its power OF offense
having been temporarily exhausted.
No sufficient evidence has, however,
been collected to show that any Of
these ingenious speculations affords us
real clew to the true cause of such a
curious and elaborate mechanism

peanition Of FeIicity.

A Baptist minister tells the following
story:
"a friend of mine. who is quite a
scholar, once accepted an invitation to
preach at country church In the south,
and, as was his custom, he used very
learned language. After the service
-the pastor of the church said that he
felt sure the members of the congrega-
ton did not understand the sermon.
.Nonsense!' replied my friend. 4 am
sure there was nothing in my sermon
which they could not comprehend,
I" swell,' said the pastor, I VIII cab

stands the meaning of the word 'feiie-
ity."' So he called in laborIpg man
and said, John, can you tell me what

Tendency of the Time.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The hest
thought of the world is being given te
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberla;n's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of
influenza grip, and it has been oh
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pncu.
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which .his
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of coius and grip in rec ut
years, and can be relied upon with in5s
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often &C.
suits from slight cold when no danger
is unprecedented until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever aud difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest, ..Ien
it is announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take
Cliamberlain's Cough remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

Claim Will Not Stand.

If the United States should r,- vive the old cry, "Fifty-four foriy or fight" demanding a large section 0. British Columbia, it's case would be no less unreasonable than the British demand for United States territory in Alaska. Of course, such d claim would be untenable. for that thrilling dispute was long ago set tied. But We could at least prove that the United States once had good ground for claiming title to all the territory in the northwest below fifty-iour degrees and forty minutes. while the British cannot show tha! they ever had so much as shadow of d title to foot of he domain they are claiming in Alaska.
 No self respecting nation sub mits to arbitration so preposterous a claim as that which Great Brit aims ward has raised anent the Alaska boundary. The United States has better record than any other power on earth for sincerity and zeal in promoting international arbi' ration. It Is a record that sui ficien,ly attests this nations love of peace. and .the world knows it ny heart" In conseniing 10 the appointment of the commission and in naming three commissioners who were to he depended upon, our government has gone as far as just ice demands or public sentiment would tolerate.
 l. would have been impossible to find three men, or even one man, in this country of sufficient intelligence and prominence to com mand respect and confidence at home and abroad, whose opinion on this subject was not immovably fixed by the logic of notosious facts. There is but one side to this case. Our title to the ground claimed hy Canada is as impregnable as the title under which We hold any part Of the United States that has been acquired by treaty. We have d right, in common fairness, to expect a favorable decision. But, if that expectation should fail, our next step should be the abandonment of the modus vivendi under which Canada is magnanimously permit ted to occupy a strip of our domain, and the planting of our flag on tse border. Nothing can be gained by any further humoring of Great Britain's spoiled child.-Washing- ton Post.

A Tribute to the Dog.

In an opinion recently rendered in the matter of the habeas corpus of P. c. Burkell, which came for trial befort the court at Rampant, Judge Wickersham has shown a tender sympathy for and thorough appreciation of the dog.
 Attorneys for the petitioner en- deavored to secure his release from imprisonment in jail, where he was confined upon conviction before a justice of the peace for the crime Oi petit larceny for stealing a dog. One reason advanced for having the judgment set aside was, that ''the complaint does not state facts constituting a crime, as it charges the defendant only with stealing d ! dog" which counsel urged was not larceny under the law of Alaska.
 In an opinion two columns in length, Judge Wickeasham devOtes much space to a consideration of this feature of the argument, and finally concludes by denying the writ applied for, and holding ''that in this territory the dog is prop erty, a chattel, with fixed market value as domestic beast of burden and is the subject of larceny within the very principle of the old com

mon law rule" In the very heart of his opinion the Judge says:

mon law rule" In the very heart of his opinion the Judge says:
 Whoever gives time to the study of the eihnology or history of Alas ka learns that the dog. has been. next to man. the most important inits past and present development.
 The Eskimo tribes along ten thous- and miles of Artic shore line have long used the dog as beast of bur den. and out of the survival oi the iittest he has there developed type particularly adapted to the rigors and hardships of hyperborean life. Russian discoverers found him drawing native sleds along the Arctic ice pack; the earliest Hud- son Bay voyageurs were carried into the remotest recesses of the great fur land, and their rich packs transported to distant post by this faithful animal. When the dis covery of the Klondike and Alas kan gold fields attracted American miners into this region he was found to be their most useful. ac- tive and faithful assistant. He has ever since been the constant companion and servant of the pros pec'or. miner and freighter, and without his aid the efforts of even American miners must have lan- gui>hed. He carries the United States mail from Dawson to Nome and return. to the koyukuk and the Panama; as an aid to the ad- ministration of justice he has over taken many a fugitive criminal. transported the officers of the law and the mandates of this court. and in the performance of my own ofIi- cial duties l have travelled more than thousand miles during a winter along the frozen Yukon with my team of native dogs, my blan- kets. food. and the courts files and documents. Last winter Il whole population of American citizens invaded the dense wilder ness of the Panama valley. crossing a snowy range along sied-markcd trail, and founded permanent set dement's in the Fairbanks gold fields, using the dog as the only means of transportation. The dog has q fixed market value as d beast of burden and d domestic animal in this far northland, what the horse was to the development of the great plains west of the Mis.is- sippi river. It ought not to be pre- stunned that Congress Was ignorant of his value to the people of Alaska when it passed the penal code. On the contrary, the court will take judicial notice of its use by native tribes and the important part which it has taken in the development oi central and northern Alaska, and its use as a domestic animal-these are matters of common history.
 It doubtful if the dog ever had finer or more truthful tribute paid to him in all legal history. The dogs of Alaska certainly have friend in Judge Wickersham. The least those of Valdez can do to show their appreciation is 10 stop howl ing at night and allow the Judge to sleep in peace.
