non Races in Michigan.

At Nagaunee the annual dog race
was held a few days ago and was wit
messed by thousands of people. The
warm sun OF the morning softened the
surface Of the street, putting it in bad
condition. BY the time the races were
over it is doubtful if the mothers Of
the youngsters who drove the dogs
could have recognized them, as they
we're completely covered with mud,
writes a Calumet correspondent Of the
Detroit Free Press. All Of the boys
wore masks at the start but when the
race grew warm they tossed them aside
to enable them to see better
There were nineteen entries, all of
whom appeared in several heats, and
most of the races were close All the
runs were down the grades on either
end of Iron street, but in spite of
this fact the smaller dogs had difficult
ty in getting over the course.
There were numerous fights, parti-
cularly at the starting points, and oc-
casionally two or more dogs would get
into a mixup midway down the street
or just before reaching the tape
No more amusing sight can be imag-
ined than a dog race Usually at the
start there is trouble At the word
go" some of the dogs get into a
fight and require the immediate atten-
ton of their drivers The more peace
ably inclined get away during the alter
cations OF the opponents, and thus OBJ
tain a commanding lead. There is
a great overturing and humping when
The rushing mass Of dogs cross a rail-
road track or ditch.
The handling Of the dogs and sleighs
at these points is most slilfully done
and causes great merriment among the
spectators.
Dog teams are very common in
northern Michigan and there is scarce
ly a town where there is not from one
to a hundred dog teams owned by
boys, who find them very useful In
some cases these outfits prove a source
Of considerable income to the owners,
who use them for hauling wood, etc.

The TaIIest Animal.

The giraffe with its unequal legs,
sloping back, long neck and two horny
knobs on the head, appears to be the
most awkward animal in the menagerie.
1t is one Of the most interesting, be-
cause It is so queer CRATES are
brought from Africa, and are used only
on exhibition in the circus or in zoo
logical gardens. A few naturalists say
there are eleven species, while others
think there is only one Some giraffes
have two horns, others three or even
five. Those with two horns are the
kind usually exhibited here. The en-
tire number OF glraffes in captivity is
said not to exceed thirty, but to buy
a single one takes from $1,000 to $4,000,
according to it's age When about
three years old one costs nearly $1,000.

Washington College Girls Indignant.
When Bishop Scadding Of the dio-
cese of Oregon, in the Episcopal
Church, said that western girls are
cheaper to entertain than the eastern
variety, he was unaware that he
touched a tender spot in the makeup
of the girls at the University Of Wash
ington. The varsity young women say
the Bishop does not know whereof
he speaks, or he would not make such
assertions.
The girls say that gaze at Mount
Rainier is not substitute for ice
cream and that they demand other
articles Of diet besides sea food. They
also intimate that the Bishop has not
been in the habit of entertaining the
sweet girl graduates of the land or
he would not say they are cheap to
feed.
The girls do not want the impress
sion to get out, however that they
are expensive Injuries and that they

west. A happy medium is the key

Boy Who Never Grew up.

About 80 years ago there was born
in Concord, Mass, boy who never
really grew to be a man, though he
lived Al years 1t is true that he got
to be tall and strong with a deep bass
voice; that he wore a beard, and that
from all external appearance he would
at once have been taken for full-sized
man. But at heart he was always a
boy. He never got over the habit Of
looking at things from a boys point of
view Instead of regarding the world
as a place for serious business, where
men must work so many hours day
and produce SO many dollars worth of
goods, and till the fields and labor
hard in factories, OF Offices, or stores,
and get along '--instead Of all these
things, he always seemed to consider
the world as a great, fine, glorious
playground place to be enjoyed and
appreciated This man-boy was Henry
David Thoreau
In the latter part of March, 1S45,
when he was 2S years Of age, Thoreau
borrowed an ak and went down to the
woods by Walden Pond. Here he
built, with his own hands, his famous
hut, or hermitage, and here he lived for
nearly two years and a half 1t is by
this episode that he is best known,

would have admired him and loved
him even without his Walden expert

WOMEN MARTYRS OF RUSSIA.

A glowing tribute to the Russian
women who lie for the revolutionary
cause is paid by Henri Rochefort in
his paper, the Intransigeant. He is
writing apropos of the execution Of
Miss Konolianikoff, the assassin of
General MINI. The example of these
herioc women, he says, infames the
ardor of their cO-revolutionists. One
hanging will cost four assassinations.
The women who do these daring
acts of reckless murder are not like
the feminine furies of the French
Revolution and the Commune. Char
lotte Corday herself is a poseuse in
comparison with them. They are
vestals, pure as the icicle that hangs
on Diana's temple To quote:
Although it is extremely difficult
to see into the mysterious and re-
served heart of a Russian woman rev.
olutionary, I have been able at Cen
eva, where I have known many of
them, to examine their mentality at
close range. In comparison with
these, who are so retiring, so simple,
SO little given to words, Charlotte
Corday would appear theatrical
They clearly understand that being
destined to give an example of SUI
preme daring, they should also give
an example of discreet department,
and, let me say, Of chastity. It is to
be noticed that in the numberless
legal trials at which they have been
indicted, their accusers have never
succeeded in bringing against them
a charge of immortality. No human
passion excepting the love Of country
is anything to them. The husbands
whom they sometimes pretend to
have taken when circumstances COM
pei them to claim a protector, are
merely brothers in the cause, and
nothing but brothers. The young as
5assin Of General MINI received in
her cell no other visitor than her
sister, who herself showed rare
courage in visiting and kissing the
condemned woman, for it is certain
nat the police will take the earliest
opportunity of getting rid of this
close relative of an assassin, rel
alive to whom may come, sooner or
alter, the idea of avenging the sister,
whom she evidently looks upon as
Ia innocent victim
He says that the struggle will still
20 on between the revolver and the
5ibbet, struggle exasDerated by the
-outh and innocence of these women
martyrs:
THE execution of Miss Konoliani-
loff adds fuel to the revolutionary
lame. 1t can not fail to excite other
ssassinations The bomb and the
eVolyer will be the answer to the
-ibbet, and the hangman's rope.
Which is expected to cure all political
lis, will cost dear indeed to those
1ho twisted it. The execution of a
