Gently returned from a business trip

the same relative position south of
the equator that the United States

During four months out of the year
the million inhabitants OF the city
amuse themselves at the races. They
do not have SO good a breed Of horses
there. but the sport Is just as good
and is well p~atronized. Some Of the

is cricket, which has been taught the

CRUISING for Dereiicts.

The excellent work in destroying a
dangerous derelict last week, begun
by the Tacoma and completed by the
Columbia, gives renewed point to the
suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies OF
the world might with peculiar profit
be employed in tracking and destroy
ing the abandoned hulks which dot
the seas and which present n OF the
one of the most serious dangers to
navigation, says the New York Trib-
une. OF the need that derelicts shaAl
be destroyed as speedily as possible
there can be NJ question. Many
known accidents and disasters have
been due to them, and there Is rea-
SON for supposing that many. perhaps
most, of the J 4 mysterious disappear
ances of vessels might truly be ex'
planned on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wan

Beyond q Doubt.

Two workmen, who both bore good
characters as sober and Industrious
men, were recently charged at a po-
lice court with fighting.
The magistrate asked, in astonish-
men, the cause of the quarrel. 1t
seemed that one man had accused the
other of stealing his coat.
"And l a prove it, too added the
man.
Howl" said the magistrate.
81 always keep my card in the
pocket"
The policemen were directed to
search the garment. But they found
absolutely nothing.
Gimme my coat" said the work
man. It was handed to him. He took
two dried peas out of one of the peck
cts, and held them up triumphantly
"P. P.-Peter Powell. That's me
name. Them's my card"
He got his coat.

Woman Loyal to the End.

A striking case of forgiveness ex-
tended to a murderer to the extent of
shielding him from Justice occurred
recently In Paris. A handsomely
dressed young woman, Mdlle. M. Gou-
vier, was found in the street dying
from the effect of a stab in the breast,
and later in the day she expired in a
hospital. But not a word could be K
tracted from her as to the identity of
her murderer. "He did it in a fit of
jealousy she said, land because he
loved me-" The last words to pass
from her lips were: 81 pardon him.
She ave up her life, but not her
murderer's name.

A party of men were discussing the

said the gentleman. Il remember
once a boy chum of mine became af-
ficted with a large swelling or abscess
in his throat, which was growing rap
idly and threatening to make breath

"Dr. x was called In. After ex-
aiming the patient. he turned to the
mother with the command to bring
him a red-hot poker. AS he was never
questioned or disobeyed, the woman

THE boy did open his mouth to
emit a terrified shriek-which broke
the abscess and saved his life.

d~isobeyed, but l recollect now one oc-
casion on which a family attempted
to set his orders at defiance. You see,
he was really more intelligent than
the run of way out country doctors
of those days. He went to Holland
for a year of study when he was
young and brought back some ad
vanced ideas, one OF which was the
efficacy of fresh air.

COURAGE or LOWER ANIMALS.
Species That Are Noted for Their
Remarkable Pusnacity.


The bulldog possesses the distinc-
ton Of being n of the most fearless
Of animals. This animal has been ex-
tensively used for bull batting when
that so-called amusement was fash
ionable in older times. and hence Its
name. The bulldog Is a most devoted
and faithful companion, its affection
being mainly conferred ON one per-
son. If the bulldog or its master is
attacked 1t will fasten on its oppo-
nent with a grip which, unless killed
or called off by its master, it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to loosen or get
rid OF. The pike and king cuttlefish,
among fishes. and the eagle and
gamecock among birds, would rank
as the most fearless Of their respec-
tive species. The gamecock Is noted
for its pugnacity, and Is never willing
to give up a contest until death has
taken one Of the combatants. There
is no animal which a gamecock would
hesitate to attack IN the slightest
provocation. A full-grown gorilla Is
as fearless as a lion, and would never
hesitate to attack the lion. African
travellers charge the lion with COW
arGice. and pronounce him to be Q
pretentious humbug. He will rur
away like a whipped cur under cir
cumstances in which a tiger will bold
ly attack and kill.

North Dakota Solves the AdulteratIon
Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds In
manufactured products?" A To- law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make 1t impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan.
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, II any II wishes
to buy a mixture Of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found In many paints and
so-called white leads" no n can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure Of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says ..pure white lead"
In ali other States mixtures are Of
| ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no = real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
err, the question would be solved. Il
would leave us free to buy what w
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did no
