Hyena "Dogs J-rom the Trar.j-fJaal-
When the news spread through Ber
lin the other day that two hyena dogs
had just been received at the zoological
arien in that city there was a rush
to see them, for these animals arc not
often found in captivity. The two were
fmported from the Transvaal, and are
quite young.
Hyena dogs resemble hyenas, but.
unlike those indolent animals, are ex
tremely alert and active. Their ears
are large and black, their bodies are
black, white and yellow, and they are
about the size of a pointer. Originally
they were distributed over the greater
part of Africa, but during recent years
they have become extinct in some dis
tricts. They are, however, still nu
merous in the Transvaal, the Congo
and German East Africa. ' There they
live like all other wild dogs, namely,
by hunting in packs during the day.
When they find the track of an ante
lope, a gnu or a zebra, some members
of the pack follow it. while the others
lie in wait for the animal at a spot
which they know it will try to pass.
As they are very swift and possessed
of. great endurance, any animal which
they pursue is doomed. True, some of
the African antelopes have in their
sharp horns admirable weapons of de-

fense, yet these in the er-d avail them
little, for. though they may gore to
death several of the dogs the others
are not in the least frightened thereby.
but cling to the prey until they have
dragged it to earth. Indeed, native
hunters tay that not only antelopes,
but also leopards and lions, are bunted
and killed by hyena dog.s. and this is
very probable, since Mongolian hunt
ers in the southeast of Siberia say that
the terrible Amur tigers and the gi
gantic bears of that region are fre
quently killed by packs of wild dogs
which closely resemble hyena dogs.
In former years the Boers were much
annoyed by these dogs, for they killed
thousands of their sheep and oxen.
One would think that the negroes
would be afraid of such fierce animals,
but they are not, for they claim that
the dogs will never attack a man un
less they are very hungry.
There are from six to ten of these
dogs in every litter. The youug ones,
which are kept in captivity, speedily
become attached to their owners, but,
nevertheless, are so fierce tnat tney
cannot be allowed at large.
Attempts have been made to cross
hyena dogs with ordinary domestic
dogs, but they have not succeeded,
which is to be regretted, as these wild
dogs are fearless and swift, are pos
sessed of much endurance, have the
sense of smell admirably . developed
and hence are, in these respects, ideal
hunting dogs.
Tbe bark of these dogs j? cuno:is, bal

A statue to General Dumas has just
been finished and will be erected in
the Place Malesherbes, in Paris. The
sculptor is Alphonse Moncel and he
has been inspired by one of the stir
ring episodes of the war in the Tyrol,
where the negro general became the
terror of the Austrian cavalry. It is
aid that the "diable noir" -defended a
oridge single handed against a squad
ron of the enemy, and this scene has
Seen depicted by the sculptor in bas
te! lef on the pedestal.
'Remarkable Statue Jna.rthe
Some remarkable bronze statues
have just been acquired by the Na
tional Museum of Rome. By mere
chance they were
uueartned some
time ago in a field
near Cagli. and
were at once pur
chased by a local
society. In old days
Cagli was known
as Callis, and near
the spot where the
statues were found
was fought the
great battle in
which Totila was
defeated by Norses.
Several high
mounds of earth
are also near the
; to others, they are
spot, and, accordin
the last resting place of Carthaginians
who had fallen in battle.
That the statues are of great antiq
uity theie are many indications, the
general opinion of archaeologists be
ing that they were fashioned during
the fifth century before Christ. They
are all bronze, and conspicuous among
them are some which portray Mars in
superb fashion.
One of the most interesting of the
statues represents a joung gymnast
balancing himself, and it is a striking
proof of the importance which wa3 at
tached to such feats in the days of old
Rome. As a work of art also this
statue deserves to be placed in the first
rank.
As soon as it became known that
these bronzes had been discovered sev
eral European and American collectors
offered large sums for them, but the
owners declined to dispose of them to
any foreigner, and finally sold them
through the Minister of Public Instruc
tion to the Museum in Rome for the
nominal sum of $3.C(.0. That this was
really a nominal sum may be seen
from the fact ttiat more than one for
eign collector ofi'ered a similar sum for
a single statue of Mars.
Indention to Cum LeaVc-i of
Music.
Young men nave long r.:ade them
selves useful by turning over leaves
of music for ladies who vere piaying
the piano, but it is doubtful if in future
tey will be called upon to do much
of tliis pleasant work, for a device has
now been invented in France, tbe &b-
IT TURNS MUSIC LEAVES,
ject of which is to do this very wo:-k
mechanically.
When this device is attached to n
piano, all that the player has to do is
to press with the foot upon a small
rubber knob, which is placed near oue
of the pedals. A slight pressure of the
foot suffices to release a sheet or leaf
of music from a clasp which holds it.
and to turn it over. There are as many
clasps as there are sheets of music and
a simple mechanism connects them
with the knob con tail ing the con
pressed air.
This device can be s-.ttached to nay
mur.ic stand, and thus a violin player
will find it as useful as a piano player.
Moreover, it takes only a few seconds
to put it in place.

TalK'ng About the K.ing.
Mrs. Sherwood, writii-.g from Eng
land, says that the ladies there do not
make literature and literary people
the subject of conversat on at lunch
eons and dinners, as is ihe case with
the women in Americi. '"English
women talk less of literature because
they talk so much about the king.
Conversation just now is over the pa
geantry of the coming coonation and
of the king's new title gi.'en by Lord
Roseberry, which is certaialy in a lit
erary sense very fine, indtt-d. as a ti
tle." The time was whet American
women made servant girls the exclu
sive topic of conversation. This sub
ject is now tabooed in polite society
and gives place to the broader themes
of philanthropy, school extension, city
decoration and work in the slum dis
tricts. Having passed upon these,
American women then discuss the lat
est novel, the merit3 and demerits of
the latest poet, and the import of th?
latest scientific theory. Fortunataly,
the conversation of American women
does not contract about a king or im
perator. Their interests are wide and
manifold, as become the women of a
democracy. The glamour which in
vests a king has little charm in their
eyes, while humanity as a whole is
all-important. Chicago Chronicle.

Mystery of the Ztrocfjyn.
One of the most extraordinary mys
teries in the history of naval engage
ments has been developed during the
last few weeks through the sum, "n
ing cf witnesses who are to appear'be
fore the Schley court of inquiry. Sim
ple as the matter might appear at first
sight, it now seems that the question
of who steered the Brooklyn when she
made her celebrated loop during the
battle of Santiago Is enveloped in
much complexity. The full powers of
the distinguished gent'ernen who
form the court of inquiry may be re
quired to elucidate this matter.
First comes Walter B. Adams, who
says he was at the wheel and gave
the turn -that made the Brooklyn
swing aroung in the manner which so
astonished the enemy and brought
confusion among the American ships.
Next comes John H. Sullivan, of Bos
ton, who was at or near the wheel
house. He says that Adams was not
at the whetl during the loop, but that
the steersman was Dennis J. O'Con
nell. O'Connell has been summoned
WHO STEERED THE BROOKLYN?
as a witness. Then comes Captain
Cook, who has made a written report
to the Navy Department, saying that
the man at the wheel during the loop
was N. Anderf.cn, who has also been
summoned.
Now the question arise?, "Which one
of those men actually steered tbe
Brooklyn during the loop, or was it
possibly a fourth party still unknown
to fame?"
Erected to Witches' Memory.
In Goethe's "Faust" the witches of
the Hartz mountains play a notable
part, and with the object of still fur
ther perpetuating the legend about
them, as told by Goethe, a building,
known as the "Walpurgishalle." has
now been erected on the very spot
which popular imagination has always
supposed to be the r-cene of their noc
turnal revelry.
The idea of constructing such a
building originated with Herrmann
Hendrich. the Berlin painter, and it
is he who has decorated it with five
large frescoes, in which tha legendary
doings of the witches are admirably
portrayed. The building itself is the
work of the architect Bernhard Seh-

To My Many Friends I am pleased
to make a report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and I had in Western
Canada.
We visited the territcrties of Al
berta, Assinibola. and Saskatchewan,
and found them far surpassing our Im
agination, but little did I expect to
find such rich, loamy coil, so much
of It, and so uniform in its level prai
rie lay. 1 do think the soil of Canada
as a rule equals if not excels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana.
These lands are immense In their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, it is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandv
soil.
Western Canada, from my point or
view, offers as fine opportunities ror
mixed farming as any place In my-
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days,
together with the rich soil, produce
very Cne wheat, oats, barley, l!ax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. Th sea

point of getting thi3 land ready for
the plow, I must say that I never saw
such a vast extent, practically all
ready so all that one has to do is to
hitch up the plow and go to work.
This is not the case with all the
Canadian land, however; some of it

Peruna is a sure cure for Incipient

in tbe early stages of this disease, it
cures permanently. Bright'B disease
always begins with catarrh of the kid

Seven weeks' trial convicted me that I

I truly think Canada offers a lice
opening for a young man or a man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred anrl tixty acres of good black
land will cost you on.y J 10 Bt the time
you enter it. and by plowing ard cul
tivating five acres each year for thre
years. gies you one hundred and tuxty
acres of good land for J10. This land
can be bought from the railroad com
panies, private corporations or the gor
emmerst for 3 to $4 per acre.
From a financial standpoint. I be
lieve that lor a series of years (five)
a young man can make f 10 in CanaJa,
whereas he would only make SI here,
and I feel sure that I epent more
money to get my eighty acre farm in
White county, Indiana, cultivated than
it would eoFt me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada. This may
seem a strong view to take oi tbe
matter, but when you take Into con
sideration the clearing, ditching, fenc
ing and the expensive breaking in of
tbe stumps, and then compare the ex
pense lo that of land needing only tbe
breaking, you will conclude that it Is
not su h a wild or exaggerated etate

the people never suffer from th told,

One great advantage to the settler
in Western Canada is the free cream
