REDUCE NUMBER

 LONDON PEOPLE
Storm Aroused Over Effort , to Save What Animals
 Eat for Humans.

London. Dec. 28-Thousands of cost of eating in this country by figu- ratively snatching from the mouths of humans, pound steaks, mutton chops and other expensive things This was brought out in parliament the other day when it became known that steps were being taken to reduce the D. 000,000 dogs that inhabit the British Isles. The result was a protest from alarmed dog-lovers and a chorus of approval by dog-haters. Newspapers
 have been flooded with letters from both camps.
 The suggestion of the government to raise the dog tax from $1.50 to $5, is
 one of the proposed steps to reduce the dogs" But it is pointed out that
 the breeder and well-to-do owner will
 not be deterred by an increased tax. In favor of the dogs, it is declared,
 that dogs were never more useful than to-day. The head of a London dog home says he gets more requests for dogs than in peace time-so many wo-
 men hre nervous now that their hus- bands are in the army and they buy 5 that to forbid dogkeeping as a form of wasteful eztravagance would cost
 more in human happiness than it
 would save in human food.
 What really makes patriotic people boil with rage is to see fashionably dressed women with anywhere from two to a half a dozen pampered pets.
 These are the dogs accused of eating the pound steaks.
 The really best dogs, like all the best people," says the Daily Mail, feat simple food. A good house dog in well ordered household may be kept in perfect health at an infinitesi-
 mai cost. It is the utterly useless dog
 with no merit but pedigree and no part in life but to be pampered that develops fastidious and extravagant tastes and becomes nuisance at home
 and in the street, in the hotels and in railway trains."
 But it appears certain that whatever other breeds may be affected by the threatened reduction of licenses the
 British bulldogs place is secure. In defence of the bulldog it is stated that he is not an expensive luxury, that he will eat almost anything and only re- quires one good meal day.

THE. REVOLVER

The first patent for revolving firearm" issued by the United States government was to Samuel Colt, a Connecticut youth of twenty-one, and bore date of Dec. 28, 1885, just eighty one years ago today. Colt was native of Hartford, and, after working for time in a factory, he ran away to sea, shipping befors the mast on an East India voyage. It was during his lesiure hours on the long voyage to and from Calcutta that he devel- oped the germ of the idea which re- suited in his invention of the revolver. He made a model of wood, while he was a ffteen-year-old sailor boy. on his return to America he made tour of America, featuring on chem istry, and gained the money to con- tinue his experiments. Before ob- taining an American patent for ms revolver he visited Great Britain ana France, and secured patents there. A company was organized to, manufac- ttre his weapons, and a plant estab- lished in Paterson Colt revOlvers were first used in warfare during the Indian conflict in Florida in 1857, few of the troops having been pro- vided with the weapons. The Mexl- can war led to a great demand for revolvers, and brought them into gen era1 use.

Dutch Complaining of
 Prize Court Decision

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Dec. 23.- Six hundred and fifty persons and firms interested in Dutch oversea com merce and shipping, including such well-known companies sa the Holland America line, have addressed peti- tion to Premier Cort van der Linden, asking the government to take action in regard to what are called "the un- just verdicts" of "belligerent Prize Courts" In the case of Great Brit ain, France, Italy and Portugal, with whom Holland has concluded arbitra- tion treaties, it is urged that in the last resort such cases must be sub- mitted to the Permanent Court of Ar bitration, while special arbitration ar engagements must be made with other belligerent states. Further the gov ernment is urgently requested to ap- point commission of experts to make preliminary inquiry into such cases. Dutch merchants and shipowners have millions of dollars at stake in this matter.

the poor until 172S, when, according to Harrington, whist was first played on scientific principles by party of gentlemen who frequented the Crown Coffee House in. London. They laid down the followin 8 rules: Lead from the strong suit; study your part ner's hand; and attend to the score. "
 Edmond Hoyle, the greatest of au- thori ties on card games, was the man who really popularized whist. His famous "Short Treatise on Whist was first published in 1743, and at- tained such instant popularity that five editions were required to supply the demand in the first year. Hoyle received $5,O0O for this work from the publisher-a much vaster reward for his 1abors than was received by most of the celebrated poets and au- thors of his day. Some have even called Hoyle the inventor of whist, but that is more than the most ardent of his admirers may justly claim for him. Hoyle is said to have given les- sons in the game to ladies and gentle men, for which his charge was five dollars a lesson. Thus the great temple of Whist was reared enabling Englishmen to sing: ,'Let India vaunt her children's vast
 address,
 Who first contrived the warlike sport
 of Chess; lr < Let nice Piquette the boast of France \ remain,
 And studious Ombre be the pride ot
 Spain;
 Inventions praise shall England
 yield to none, When she can call delightful Whist
 her OWn" .t

THE FLIGH1 OF TIME.

The closing of the old year suggests sobering reflections about the passage of time. At least if one has passed his early youth. To young people just starting in life, the passage of a year is a very trifling matter. They wish time away, that they may arrive ft some desired goal of age and exper1- ence.
 As people get into middle life, the days seem to slip along very rapidly AS the common phrase is, it seems but yesterday! since 10 or 20 years ago we made this change in our life or began that new undertaking As life pro- ceeds, there are fewer red letter days to make particular times stand out. It is one long succession of days works, more or less the same. They pass in an inde6nable and grey pro- cession of shadows.
 Yet there are few persons who seem to regret and want to do their time over again. As you look back at the difficulties surmounted, the privations or sorrows experienced, it would hard ly seem worth while to go back. Many people feel that they could make their lives better were they to do them over again. Of course they could if they could but start with the same sage wisdom and experience at twenty that they now have at forty. But if they
 were to begin at twenty again with the degree of maturity characteristic of twenty. they might very likely not do as we'll
 Instead of regretting these swiftly moving days, one may well be thank full that life has gone as we'll as it has Tn most all lives many pitfalls have
 been escaped and perils lodged. Mar row chances that we might have taken have by some force of instinct been avoided. We all may begin the New Year with stronger feeling of some mys- terious and guiding hand leading through the darkness. The wholesome and healthy minded person wastes nc morbid reflections on the shortening of the span Of life, but fills his days lso full that they have no room for in- irrespective thoughts.
