The real owners of corporation
should be compelled to do business in
their own name. The right to hold
stock in other corporations should here
after be denied to interstate corpora
tons, unless on approval by the proper
government officials, and prerequisite
to such approval should be the listing
with the government of all owners and
stockholders, both by the corporation
owning such stock and by the corpora
tion In which such stock is owned.
Lessons of Recent Crisis.

that the institutions which failed were
institutions which were not under the

government. Those which were under
national control stood the test

VARIETIES IN HUMAN SPECIES.
Source of Everything That Is Beautiful
and Interesting.

Each human being has something
distinguishing, in form, proportions,
countenance, gesture, voice--in feel
ings, thought, and temper in mental
as well as corporeal physiognomy.
This variety is the source Of every
thing beautiful and interesting in the
external world-the foundation of the
whole moral fabric of the universe.
Certain external circumstances, as
food, climate, mode of life, have the
power of modifying the animal organi-
cation, SO as to make it deviate from
that Of the parent. But this effect
terminates in the individual Thus. a
fair Englishman, II exposed to the sun,
becomes dark and swarthy in Bengal;
but his offspring, II from an English
woman, are born Just as fair as he
himself was originally and the chill
dren, after any number Of generations
that we have yet observed, are still
born equally fair, provided there has
been no fntermixture of dark blood

DOCS IN WARTIME
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
THE WOUNDED.
Frenchmen Urge Minister Of War to
Have Animals Attached to Am
buIancs corps-Idea Is Not
New Ono.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
corps why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service of the French army? The ad-
vantages of this innovation have been
set forth at some length by DR.. Biche-
Tonne and Capt. Toilet in a volume
which has just been published. 1t is
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps"
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time of the
Boer war, and at the battle of Cha
Ho in the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered 23 soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1890, by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training of dogs in war time have been
formed in Dresden Cologne, Coburg,
Aix-la-chapelle and Neuwied. Similar
societies have been organized in Hol-
and, Sweden and Italy. In fact all of
the European countries have turned
their attention to the subject at one
time or other except France.
DR.. Bichelonne and Capt. Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds of dogs in France which would
take easily to the military training.
1t is an undisputed fact, these au-
thors say, that after an engagement
there are many wounded and dying
who are overlooked by the nurses and
litter carriers. A case in point is
quoted at the battle of Rezonville-
Gravelotte in 1870 two injured soldiers
lay for three days in ravine. The
ground had been gone over many
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In in
stances like this the usefulness of
dogs as scouts is unquestioned.
1t is a wonder that European armies
have not awakened long before this
last decade to the Importance of dogs
as practical helpers in war time, the
authors think, On the battlefield the
role OF these canine assistants would
be very much the same as that of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been
rescuing snowbound travellers for sew
eral centuries.

To insure health, both for the dog
and for yourself, always accustom
your dog to living out of doors. This
may not do for the small, feeble and
insignificant pet or lap dogs, but they
are so useless that they come under a
separate class. A good-sized substan-
tial kennel or dog house should be
made-one which is secure against
the rain and storm and of size to
insure plenty of spare room. 1t is well
to have it made with a movable roof,
attached by hooks, so it can be read
lily and frequently cleaned. Before
using it thoroughly whitewash it in
side and then fill it up with clean
bright and sweet straw At least once
a month replace the straw, thoroughly
sweeping out the box after removing
and burning the old straw.
A dog which is permitted to come
into or stay in the house and hug the
kitchen stove becomes tender and
lazy and is apt to catch cold very read

TWO Bucks with One Bullet.

Jay Bowers, of this city, has re-
turned home from months hunting
trip in Humboldt county, with rec
ord of having shot two fine bucks with
one bullet. One was a forked horn
and the other three-polnter. One of
the animals weighed 1874 pounds

That two deer had been killed with
one shot was not discovered until one
of the animals was being dressed,
when the bullet was found to have en-
tered its right side, while Bowers as
serted he had shot the animal on the
left side. An investigation brought to
light the second deer lying dead close
to where the first had been found.

A Habit Which May Severely TAX the
Vital Powers.

There Is no adequate support for
the impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods Of the
day Except in summer time they
are apt to be damp, foggy, chilly and
among the L st desirable hours Of
daylight. 1t is quite true that during
the summer there is sense of exhil-
aration about being abroad in these
early morning hours, but this evapo-
rates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by q corresponding depres-
sion and loss of working power later
In the day. have been observing my
friends and patients for the past 20
years In this respect, and am inclined
to the opinion that not little of the
depression and nervousness which
commonly develop in hot weather is
due to excessive exposure to light,
from habits of early rising, inherited
from agricultural ancestors, not coun-
teracted by three to four hours rest
In darkened rooms in the middle of
the day.
Secondly, that the exhilaration ex.
perienced during the early morning
hours is an expensive luxury which
has to be paid for later in the day.
In fact, | have found that as a general
rule, to put it very roughly, the bust
ness or professional man who rises
an hour before 1880 or 8, goes to
bed, or loses his working power.
an hour and half earlier in The
evening. Each individual has in
the beginning of his day about so
much working power stored up in his
brain and muscle cells. If he uses
this up with great rapidity in the
early morning hours he naturally ex.
hausts his stock the sooner in the
afternoon.
1t is largely matter of when a
man wishes to be at his best. If his
occupation is of such a character that
he can clear off the brunt of his
work in the early morning hours, then
let him rise early. If on the other
hand he requires full vigor and readi-
ness of mind and body in the latter
part of the day, or at night, then
he must rise later to get 1t. Even
in pure muscle work it is false econ
omy to work too long hours.-Amer-

a $500 DRESS SUIT.
Worn by One Of Our sattleshIps and
Consists Of Flags.

Few realize the number of flags car
ried by warship nor the cost Of all
the gay bunting which tiutters from
mast to mast at holiday time. In ad.
dition to feet communication, neces-
sary during maneuvers in home water.
sryS Armv ADD Navy Life, the ship
mas: De equipped with an extensive
array of flags ON board for various
forms Of ceremonial and official occa-
sions.
This dress suit outfit of bunting con-
sists of $50 different flags the materi-
al and making of which cost just
$4,000 Each ship is entitled to. new
flag equipment every three years,
though owing to their constant use
a flagship will often require new set
of signals in about year.
A great deal more time and labor
is required to finish certain Of these
flags than is generally supposed. The
presidents flag equires the longest
time of any to make, as it takes one
woman nearly a whole month to COM
plete it. The life-sized eagle with out
stretched wings and other emblems
are all hand-sewed and involve the
most patient work.
The most difficult to make are the
foreign flags. This is especially true
of the South and Central American
ones.
A half dozen specially skilled hand
device sewers are continually kept on
these flags. Every battleship carries
AZ foreign flags, rs feet by 13 wide.
The most expensive ensign to make is
the German, which, owing to the deli
cate scrollwork of the large imperial
eagle and royal crown necessitating
delicate, slow and careful sewing,
costs $3.50.
The dragon flag of China consists of
200 separate pieces. Twelve to IA
days are ordinarily consumed in nm
ishing this flag, which costs $51.75.
The flag of Siam with the huge
white elephant costs $3S. The Mexi-
can with its center design of a large
eagle holding a serpent on its bill,
costs $3.50. The cheapest foreign flag
made is the Moorish, which costs $2l.

Oil Well Pays Preachers Salary.

Anderson organized the Epworth Epis-
copal church, and later secured suffi-

boring we'll in the church's back lot
A subscription paper was passed,
$1,000 was pledged to make up losses
il they came, and Rev. Mr.. Anderson
started his oil well. 1t proved a
small type gusher, and ever since the
oil well, operated daily by gas en-
