The DAYS OF Doecarts.

There are probably people still Nv
ing who remember when dogs drew
carts In England. These original dog
carts. which were suppressed by law
in the middle OF the last century. were
largely used by costermongers and the
humber members Of the fancy for
Sunday outings. The dogs employed
were large animals, of mongrel breed.

FROST KILLED
TEXAS FRUITS
Only Late Varieties OF Peaches Not
Yet In Blossom Expected to Have
Withstood Cold and VIII
Mako Crop.

Austin, Texas, March 19.-Commis-
sioner Ed r. Kone of the Texas De-
partment of Agriculture gives out the
following statement in regard to the
recent freeze:
"One OF my men examined fruit
trees in Austin since the recent cold
spell and found that 80 per cent of
the peach blossoms in the city were
killed by the low temperature.
u. NJ. Ramsey of the Ramsey Nur-
sery Company, situated in the north
ern part of Austin, informs me that
his foreman reported all fruits that
were in full bloom were killed by the
cold.
Uncle Dick Bonner of Smith Coun-
ty received several peach twigs from
his home since the cold spell, and upon
examination found that about so per
cent of the fruit was killed in his
county.
pected, and the only chance now re-
naming is that the early peaches that
bloomed before the freeze and were
protected to some extent by the shuck
or caly, and the later variety of
peaches, that had not yet come out,
will yield some fruit.
"Orchardists should by no means
be discouraged by the recent mishap,
but should stick to the industry and
by thorough cultivation and extra care
of the remaining fruit try to produce
some fancy products, at the same time
keeping all the trees in the orchard
in a vigorous condition so that they
can fully repay in future years the
loss that has occurred by the recent
cold weather"

Navajo Blue epots.

II has been noticed by scientists who
have been studying the interesting and
mysterious Navajo Indians that the
Navajo baby invariably has blue spot
at the base OF its spine. The spot Is
sometimes as small as dime and
sometimes as big as ones hand. 1t
closely resembles bruise, but II is
due entirely TO an extraordinary pig
mentation. The spot may disappear
before the child is FIVE years old, but
always returns later In life when this
is the case. The scientists have come
TO the conclusion that this spot is proof
positive Of the Mongolian origin OF the
Navajo. And they also make the as
tonishing assertion that It is present In
many European and American children
whose parents can trace their geneal-
ogy for generations back and are GER
thin that there has been no admixture
of Mongolian blood.-Exchange.

FIGHTING Geese.

In Russia pits for cock fighting are
unknown. but goose pits" some sixty
years ago were common throughout
that mighty kingdom. The effect of
this can be seen today In the geese
which are indigenous to the country,
the Arsamas and the Tula varieties
particularly showing to marked de-
gree the fighting qualities of their
ancestors. The Arsamas gander has
a bill which is entirely different in
form from that Of the geese known in
any other part of the world. This spe-
cial structure enables the bird to take
firm grip on the neck or back of its
antagonist.
