THE ESKIMO DOG.
He Never Knows the Luxury of a
Shelter or Bed.

He Never Knows the Luxury of a
Shelter or a Bed.
The Eskimo dog from his birth to his
death. which in many instances is a
violent one, never knows the luxury of
shelter or a bed. He spends his exist
ence outdoors and appears to be far
more comfortable in winter than in
summer. The pups when hardly able
to toddle instinctively show an ambi-
ton to run with sleighs they never
bark and join with their treble squeals
the enthusiastic chorus of bowls with
which the Eskimo dog invariably
greets the first fall of snow. The ambi-
ton Of the young dogs is soon taken
advantage of by the Eskimos.
The little fellows are hitched to sleds
in company with full grown dogs. and
to prevent them from being run over
they are tied by the neck to the tow
line, so that when the run starts out
they are compelled to keep up or be
dragged by the team. This simple
though bAltal method Of training is
very effective, and after one or two
runs the young dog Understands what is
wanted of him. Even before he is full
grown he is thoroughly conversant
with his duties.

MONEY IN COMMISSIONERS.
The Survival of an Older and More
Tragic Custom.

The Survival of an Older and More
Tragic Custom.
The practice of putting money under
the foundation stone of a new building
is the shadow of an older tragic Gus
tom. The money stands theoretically
for the ransom of the human being
who by ancient superstition should
have been buried in it's place. Other
wise. it was held. the building would
not stand firm and endure.
There was a time when this particu-
lar kind of human sacrifice had a
vogue extending to most parts of the
world. Even in England skeletons
have been found imbedded in the bases
Of castle walls. and there is record of
one German fortress at the building of
which a child was bought from its
mother with hard cash and walled in
to the dOnjOn tower, the unnatural
mother, according to the story, looking
on the while. Efiigies of human be-
ings are still used in some parts of
Europe as harmless substitutes, and in
remOter and more ruthless places the
old custom crops out from time to time
in all its grim reality. Within the last
half century two children. a boy and a
girl, were, it was reported, walled into
a blOckhOuSe by some laborers at
Duga, Asiatic Turkey. - New York

Ireland's Wood SOrreI Said to Be 81.
PAtrtcIx's Emblem.
There are many people who do not
know what the real shamrock is. The
plant which is often called shamrock
and generally passes for it In Ireland
is the Trifolium repens, or white clio
yer. This plant could not have been
the one which ST. Patrick held I'D to
Illustrate the doctrine of the'Trinity. as
1t has been known only 200 years in
Ireland and is cultivated plant and
not native to the soil.
Edmund Spenser says Of the Irish of
1880 that whenever they found a plot
OF shamrocks, or watercress, they had
feast There were some who COB
bled the green food as it came, some
looked for the faultless stalk and the
bloom on the leaf" This shamrock Of
Sponsors time was without doubt the
Oxalis acetOsella, which is Commonly
known as wood sorrel. 1t makes an ex-
cellent salad herb, though it has never
become a market herb in France or
this country. The sorrel of Paris and
New York markets is a species of dock.
The wood sOrrel is indigenous to the
soil of Ireland and is believed by
botanists to be the original "herb trini-
ty" with which st. Patrick used to H.
lustrate his doctrines.-New York Trib-

 The Russian authorities who understand thoroughly the effect of a display of force upon the Pekn government appre- ciate how greatly China has already been impressed by the unbroken record of Ja- panese successes on sea and land and are inclined to believe that, Japan's act is designed to compel China to stand firm against Russia's demands in the Rye. shitelni affair to which China's first reply was unsatisfactory.

Making Big Flank Movement.

Liao Tang, August 17.-A general Japa- nese fianking movement is developing to the east and parelel with the railway. The movement involves the whole mass of troops from Daitin Pass. about 25 miles southwest of Ia Tche, to Diodiu- shan, on the Tai Tse river 35 miles south east of Mukden It is evident that these troops have combined with the object of forcing the Russians out of Liao Yang without fight, and thus securing ad- vantageous winter quarters. It is not thought the Japanese have enough men to consummate the movement until the release of q large number of the troops now beseiging Port Arthur. It is report ed that a large force has left Hal Cheng and is retiring to Ia Tche Kiao. Three days of rain has temporarily checked all movements.
 Chinese bandits are more active than ever. They again blew up the railroad near here and fired during the night on train bearing Colonel Spiridorof of the Amur railroad battalion.
 They are rendering the environs of the town unsafe after dark by hiding fin the tall corn In the fields and have kidnapped and tortured a number of victims.
