"Dinqoism" in Australia,

'Dingoism," the new word intro
duced into Australian politics by way
Of antithesis ito 'jingoism," is derived
from the name OF the wild dog of the
antipodes-dingo. Before the arrival
of the whites the Australian natives
had trained the dingoes to assist them
in hunting. The dingoes soon began
to attack the white mems sheep and
SO became an enemy to be shot at
sight. Real dingoes are now very
rare, except in the vast unsettled
areas of the north. The dingo of the
north is a small but combative ami
NAL, carrying his tail curled over his
back, and ready to attack anything
that comes in his way.

Egyptian Irrigation.

Incorrect statements having been

land in the valley of the Nile e. S.
Consul General Iddings of Cairo states
that when the addition of the Assam
dam is finished in 1912 over twice as
much Nile water will be held up as
at present( and it is expected that
100000 acres of land in the very north
Of the delta, over 700 miles distant
from the dam, will then be reclaimed
since there will then be summer water
enough to irrigate this great tract
But until the dam is finished no steps
will be taken to reclaim or drain
these 100000 acres which lie in the
low regions of the lakes. When the
work of reclamation is begun the only
machinery to be employed will be
dredges in the canals, the rest of the
labor will be manual, which is very
cheap in Egypt.

Of free men and free industry. Tc

lis expected that Councilman Curtis

relation 10 the appointment Of COM

cate that the whole ground might be

ed ordinances are in a pretty. bad
tumble. Many are obsolete, many are

that all roofs in the city Of Astoria

considerable work TO definitely ascer-
tain IL this is still law or not. Twenty

pointed out. Mr., Curtis, however,

IN St. Louis, New Orleans and Mon
treal. ST. Louis was city Of great
activity during the war period, as
both armies were engaged in the
State Of Missouri, making it one Of
the storm centres Of the country, St.
Louis being headquarters. Mr.. Boyd,
with other members Of the De Bar
company, made frequent trips back
and forth between ST. Louis and New
Orleans. Ii was periIous travelling
In those days, but Boyd was
youngster and be liked the adventure.
Oftentimes the company was delayed
many days, SO exacting we're army
officials Of both sides before travellers
could pass from line to another. Mr..
Boyd chanced to be passenger on
the railroad when the battle Of Shiloh
was being fought. The train was held
up in consequence Of the engagement
and IN this way he was able to 60
from the train across the fields, where
he got fine view Of the battle. Boyd
al that time was about the drummer

members Of the company to prevent
