SACRED ISLE OF POOTOO.
Ground Wherein the Foot Of Woman
Is Never Permitted
to Tread.

There is one spot in the whole world
is the sacred isle of PootoO, in the Chu-
san archipelago, on which are 80 tenn
pies, and for 1000 years, it is declared,
woman has never touched foot on
the soil.
Pootoo is barely three miles across,
IF 1900 feet, with more than 80 tenn
pies niched in its ravines and valleys,
perched on it's sea fronting cliffs, nestled
at the foot of the hills, and GROWING
their SUBMITS.
There are yellow-tiled, imperial tenn
pies, built and enriched by Emperor
Kienlung, and these golden roofs still
CLEAN in their neglect and decay
among sacred groves Of trees that are
alone enough to make the fame of the
island shrine
Enormous camphor trees of unknown
age look to be the most venerable of
their kind and cedar and ginko (salis-
burial, or mathematician trees are as
splendid in their development. The
company of priests has dwindled as rev.
enues were withdrawn, and pilgrims are
not as many now as century ago.
The whole island is sacred ground,
and no woman may live there, or pre-
sumably defile it with her presence, but
many women pilgrims do set foot ON
the sacred isle and make the round of
the neglected temples. Even foreign
women have been there on rare occa-
sions, when an excursion has been ar
ranged and steamer chartered from
Shanghai.

FASTEST OF QUADRUPEDs.
Legged Animal That Is
Known.

Research into the origin Of the whip
pet shows that it is a modern type OF
dog, and, considering how good it is in
its way, it is a wonder, says Town Top
les, that it is not more generally known
and appreciated. The word is not in
Webster's, nor is it to be found in many
encyclopedias. Dalziel failed to trace
the etymology of the word, but fancied
it to be provincial name expressive OF
the diminutive size as well as the quick
action of these dogs. The old writer's
who mention it evidently have in mind
a very different animal from the one
now seen at our bench shows. Halliwell
says it is a cross between spaniel and
a greyhound, which could not produce
the present type. John Taylor says:
I'm the shapes and forms of dogges; of
all which there are but two sorts that
are useful to mans profits, which two
are the mastiffe and the little cure,
whippet or house-dogge; all the rest are
for pleasure and recreation
The modern whippet is a greyhound
crossed with a small terrier, so as to re-
duce the size of the progeny, and by Sc
lection the terrier type has been oblit-
Grated and that of the greyhound pre-
served This cross goes back 60 years or
more, during which time a record of
some sort has been kept, so that a stud
book exists. But the dog has not been
popular in shows, because, being bred
to race, its appearance is of little conse-
quence.
There is nothing cruel about dog rae
ing, and, although it is not known
among wealthy sportsmen, it is pop
ular pastime of large class in the
manufacturing districts of England and
this country. In England as many
as 500 dogs are entered in one handi-
cap and thousand pounds will
change hands on the result.
The course is usually 200 yards, and
the races are run in heats in which
three dogs compete. The winners Of
| these trial heats run against each
other until there are but three left
for the final. There are races for
puppies, maiden races, handicaps and
races with penalties and allowances.
The dogs are held at the start and run
past the judge to their owners.
The whippet is the fastest four
legged animal, in proportion to its
weight, that is known. A good one
will run 200 yards in IL seconds,
which is at the rate Of Is 2-3 yards
per second. A race horse, running at
the rate of mile in 1 minute and
40 seconds Is covering only II 3-5
yards per second. The dog weighs
about 20 pounds, and strides about Is
feet; the average stride of race horse
is 81 feet.

Would Not Be a Mouser,

Owing to the enormous increase in
the number of field mice on the estate
of the chairman of the local school
board of Negouitz, in Bavaria, that
gentleman gave the school children
mouse holidays" to enable them TO
catch the rodents. On the teacher re-
monstrating, he was told that if he
were "a decent sort of - fellow" he
would help the children to trap the
mice. After waiting some days he had
the children's parents fined for not
sending them to school, with the re-
suit that he was himself promptly
dismissed from his post.-London

New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy,

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from

LAS a proof that Chamberlain'S Cough
Remedy is cure suitable for old and
young, pen you the following: "a
neighbor of mine had a child just
over two months old. 1t had a very
bad cough and the parents did not
know what to give it. l suggested
that if they would get a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the
baby was sucking it would no doubt
cure the child. This they did and
brought about quick relief and
cured the baby" This remedy is for
sale by j. E. DAILY and Sam Church.

The next touchdown came after kicking duel

and two kicks. On the next. touchdown the

when the ball was kicked two yards into Mime
sofa territory to be returned twelve yards In the
instant. From this return there was another
straight tear up to the badger goal.
The game ended with another kicking period.
Wisconsin kicked of and tumble spoiled the
return after the 25-yard line had been crossed

Of kicks and Minnesota worked the ball up to
the 47-yard line and booted it far up the ba dger
territory. It was carried and kicked and high

followed Wisconsin kicks and the game ended
with the ball in Minnesota territory after the

Minnesota's Defense.
Minnesotas defense had stifened at least 30
per cent since the Nebraska game. Today the

the first half. In the second half. Minnesota
again went right after the Wisconsin giants and
scored in comparatively short space of time.
Two more touchdowns were made before the
close of the half,a ls&sing Minnesota with the
same score which Michigan made altho the
kicking Of goals should have added at least two
more points. - n =. ..
| On the first kickoff into Minnesota territory
| the gophers took the ball and simply marched up
the field for touchdown from the badger 25-
yard line. The badgers fought like tigers but
without avail On the second kickoff the gophers
started back from the 5.yard line to tumble.
This led to kicking duel in Minnesota terri
tory, Wisconsin at one time making fight be-
tween the center Of the field and Minnesota 5
25-yard line. They started to carrying the ball
but fumbled and this led to more kicking. Min
nesota then started once more, and despite two
penalties, holding for downs and two kicks
went over the badger line. Much of this credit
is due to Davies for the spectacular run OF the
day, forty-two yards. -.
In the next battle Minnesota started with long
gains and ran the ball back from the KICKOFF
to Wisconsins 25-yard line where penalty set
them back and the long runback of kick found
the finish of the half in Wisconsin territory.
Struggle for Points.
In the second half the battle was fought from
the kickof between Wisconsin's 9O-yard line
and her goal. A badger ran the ball back
