DOG INTELLIGENCE.
How the Faithful Animal Is Trained
by the ESkimOs.


The Eskimo begins to train his dog for
sledge work before it is a month old
One OF the most interesting features of
the Eskimo villages are puppies tied to
the pole of a tent. They pull on the
rope with all their puppy strength in the
effort 10 break away and join in the frol-
les of their elders.
Not until a dog bred for mail service is
one year old is It put in training for the
trail II begins by running ten miles
with the team, then is dropped out. Next
day. says ST. Nicholas. it runs the same
distance. Gradually the distance is in
creased until it reaches its fifteenth
month OF life. when it becomes part OF
the regular service. The life of mail
dog is from three 70 four years. No
greater punishment can be inflicted than
to lay n dog of from service When un-
ruly they are often threatened with a
lay-off and with almost human intelli-
gence they seem to understand she dis
grace ii implies in the eyes OF their fellow
workers on the trail. A constant spur TO an
unambitious dog is the outsider" who
viii quickly take away the leadership
not only in tie mail service. but in teams
maintained chiefly for the pleasure of the
sport. The intelligence Of the malamute
is remarkable. its scent wonderful, its in
stinct, as a rule. unerring.
Some dogs are better trail followers
than others, as some are better leaders.
In 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 the journey. After feed

Medical science can diagnose and de
scribe most "A hundred different types OF
paralysis but cannot cure a single one
They know not the laws of the increase
and control of vital force. Most cases of
paralysis come on when one IS very much
weakened by low vitality, as in chronic
disease or age decline. Such types are
very easily cured by our science OF in
creasing and controlling circulation Of the
electric power Of the body. Paralysis IS
caused by the vital power not circulating
freely through the motor nerves. going to
the parts paralyzed- Mr.. McConnelTs in
vestigatiOus have not only established the
laws Of vital increase OF production. but
also the laws of Its circulation in the
body. He finds that any person may in
crease the circulation of this power 10 the
parts OF the body pa-alyzed- This is the
scientific way TO cure paralysis. IN bis
many tests OF these principles he has had
no failures where the person had a sound
mind ard could produce the slightest
movement in the paralyzed parts. The
worst cases have been overcome in from
one 10 eight weeks.

The Mcconnell Science of the Vital Force

Some forms Of paralysis are caused by
an obstruction to the motor nerves lead

which enables one to gradually overcome
such obstructions.
This principle could not be understood
without a knowledge OF its full science.
Another form Of paralysis arises frela

reached through the fact that the re-
building process can be controlled BY in
creasing the nutriment and vital force

Springfield, H., March 1.-THE Cannon
men have failed to be scared by the an
nouncement that the William II. Taft
Club OF Chicago IS to renew the fight 10
secure part OF the delegation to the
Republican national convention from nli-
nois.
The Taft movement IN Illinois is dead
so far as il is directed toward securing
the Illinois delegation for Taft as first
choice. When the Taft movement was
launched in Chicago some time ago, il
created something of a stir; but very
soon IL became clear that it lacked the
substantial support necessary 10 make il
a winning movement Several men OF
considerable prominence in Republican
politics who ar first lent their names to
the Taft propaganda quietly withdrew.

were for Judge Taft for second choice.
they believed that Illinois should instruct
it's delegates for Mr.. Cannon. and that
the Speaker Of the National House should
have the support OF his own State as
long as there was a chance for him 10
secure the nomination
Leaders Are for Cannon.
The real leaders in Republican politics
in Illinois are for Speaker Cannon, and
/ have been from the beginning. 1t is true
beyond doubt that there IS considerable
sentiment in Illinois for the Ohioan, but
not as the first choice Of the State. Tee
situation is simply this-that if. in Il
national convention. il becomes clear thai
I Mr.. Cannon cannot be nominated. many
Of the Illinois delegates may so 10 Taft.
/ On the other hand they may 60 70 some

nomination is one that the State cOnven-
I tion will not undertake 10 determine

So far as Cook County Is concerned

Fishing Season Nearing the End.

The fishing season on the Potomac is
drawing rapidly to a close. The receipts
of herring have fallen off largely and all
that are now coming to It's market are
from the nets at Fairy Landing shore
and from the OILERS and trap-net fisher
men along the river. The receipts of shad
are very light and amount to only few
hundred each day. The packing houses
on the wharf have put up a full supply
Of herring. but few are still being cut
for packing and for shipment all over the
country, salt Potomac herring being re-
garded as a luxury. particularly in me
country districts of the west. While the
catch of herring during the season was
up to the average, the catch OF shad was
small, but the fishermen who were for
tunate enough to get shad in their nets
received good prices for them. Financial
ly the season is said to have been much
better than in 1907.

Charming Couture.

THE Greek coiffure is the most charm
ing dressing seen today. although
the very low and very high are not with
out some favor. Classical features look
best with the simple front parting. full
roll above the ears and the Psyche knot.
a mode which the younger set of society
is making very popular. while the modi-
fed Greek dressing with soft curls and
puffs forming large knot surrounding a
Psyche of moderate size is adopted by
those of mora mature years. to whom the
simplicity of the Psyche dressing. with or
without the Greek band adornments, is
so eminently suited.
