DOG INTELLIGENCE.
The Clever "MaIamutes" That Carry
the Mails In Alaska.

The Clever "MaIamutes" That Carry
the Mails In Alaska.
The Eskimo begins to train his dog
for sledge work before it is a month
old. One of the most interesting fea-
lures Of Eskimo villages are puppies
tied to the pole of tent. They pull
on the rope with all their puppy
strength in the effort to break away
and join in the frolics of their elders.
Not until dog bred for mail service
is one year old is it put in training for
the trail. 1t begins by running ten
miles with the team; then it is dropped
out. Next day it runs the same dis
lance. Gradually the distance is in
creased until it reaches it's fifteenth
the regular service. The life of mail
dog is from three to four years. No
greater punishment can be inflicted
than to lay dog off from service.
When unruly they are often threat
ened with a lay-off, and with almost
human intelligence they seem to un-
derstand the disgrace it implies in the
eyes of their fellow workers on the
trail. All fight to be leaders. A con-
slant spur to an unambitious dog is
the "outsider," who will quickly take
away the leadership not only in the
mail service, but in teams maintained
chiefly for the pleasure of the sport.
The intelligence of the malamute is re-
markable. it's scent wonderful, its in
stinct, as a rule, unerring.
Some dogs are better trail followers
than others, as some are better lead
ers In a blizzard the best of them
lose the trail, but invariably find it.
When on the trail they never eat but
once day, then at the end of jour
ney. After feeding, like weary chill
dren. they fall asleep and are never
quarrelsome. 1t takes on an average
twenty pounds of food day for .

A GOOD SADDLE.
Except In the South and West, Most
Riders Take What Is Offered.


A we'll known horseman in speaking
CT the sport of riding. in the United
Stites recently said:
Although there are a number of
good riders in this country, very few
men, except in the west ami south.
seem to know or care much about the
saddle-that is, the way II Is built
They simply take what their dealer
gives them. In England it is usual for
riders to have their saddles made to
order, and they generally know what
to order too.
"a good saddle fits both the horse
and the man. 1t should be roomy ev-
erywhere and especially so in the pan.
els if you are heavy The throat should
not be so narrow as to cause pain or
SO wide as to Wabble. Plain flaps are
most comfortable and busiNesslike. A
felt pad or at least Il good saddlecloth
should always be used, and to give u
trim appearance it should be cut to the
outlines of the saddle. 1t should pe
frequently washed and summed. Stir.
rups should be open, wide and heavy
so that the feet can be readily freed in
case of spill.
"a proper fitting saddle will stitch
with very loose girths. ard yon can
find where it fits by walking the horse
around a few minutes before mounting
with the girths unbuckled. The horse
will shift the saddle to the exact place
where it is most comfortable. When
through with your ride, remove the
saddle at once and battle the back with
with an alcohol shampoo"

THE STUPID SWAN.

Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is .
Nincompoop.
To the mind of the average farmer
nothing which walks on two legs Is
quite so stupid as hen. He is mis-
taken, though, for there still remains
that beautiful, graceful nincOmpOop,
the common swan. The swan Is so
stupid that it will stand in the shallow
part of q pond and allow the water to
freeze round Its legs till the ice is so
thick that it cannot lift its feet and It
Is stuck fast. Not infreQuently owners
of these handsome but witless birds
are compelled to chop away sufficient
ice to make it possible for them to
withdraw their imprisoned feet.
The stupidity Of the swan in this
respect is emphasized by the intelli-
gence exhibited by ornamental ducks
when the weather turns cold. As
night comes on and the water begins
to freeze the ducks begin swimming
In q wide, well defined circle. Round
and round they SO during the entire
night, keeping all the water within
that circle free from ice. so that when
the day dawns they can float about
and doze in the sun. Ducks are al
ways most active during the night and
choose the day for sleeping.
But to return to the swan. II you

An hour later Madam came back to

minutes afterward another solitary fig
