Im tat An Old Landmark of Kwaeatlaa Central Weet. Notre Dame university, Indiana, which recently eclebratod the toldeu Jublleoof ita foundation, has a romantic history one affectionately associated with early Hfo in the great weat. The university was founded In 842 by the late Rev. Edward Sorln, who came from France to establish a college on land which his bishop hid purchased from the Indlnns. It was no easy task to begin an educational Institution in those early days. The Itnd was un cleared, the country surrounding' the alte of the proposed college but sparse ly settled, there was almost a total lack of financial means, and the nearest towns from which students might be expected were miles away, with very inconvenient means for travel. But Father Sorln foresaw great possibili ties for the future Institution and was not to be appalled by these obstacles. With a stout heart he. set resolutely to work. Tha first college building waa begun In August, 1843, and was finished In the following year, when Notre Dame received its charter as a univer sity. The early history of the institution is ono long story of a strugglo for exist ence. Destitute of endowments, It de pended entirely upon the tuition fees of the students, and, as these were few, for some time little progress was made. Fierce fires played sad havoc with the work of years. In 1879 it was almost entirely destroyed by a Are, which car ried off the main structure and several others. But these flames were scarcely quenched when foundations were com menced for tho buildings which form the Notre Dame of today. Thus after nearly two score years of weary labor and anxious hope the founder saw the Institution on a firmer basis and re signed its entlro management Into younger hands. A glanao at the first college, which Is still standing on the banks of St. Mary'B lake, and at the Notre Dame of the present shows tho great material progress made in fifty years. The site Is unequalcd. Nature has been lavish with the gifts. The approach to the university was through a long, beautiful avenue bordered with trees. Tho buildings used for colle giate purposes, eigbt in number, are arranged In a half circle fronting a wide stretch of lawn. The center of the group and the largest is tho main building. It Is five stories In height and is surmounted by an immense dome, on which stands a colossal statue of Mary crowned with electric stars. The effect created by this structure Is Imposing.

D. M. HnNTKU.Couuty Supt. Some of the Trlcka of the Trade Sew ing the LI pa. A large cobra da capello was sent home several years ago to Sir Joseph Fayrer, who wanted a supply of venom for analysis. It bit the spoon repeated ly without yielding any, and on exam ination was found to have none to yield, not only Its fangs but the poison glands having been extirpated. A pro tective operation still mora cruel Is sometimes practiced by novices In tho art of charming, and consists in secur ing tbe mouth with a stitch of silk passed through tho lips In front; to perform this, tho poor beast's head Is held tightly pressed to the ground by a short stick upon which tho foot rests, while the other foot restrains the writh ing body, leaving both hands at liberty1 for the needle. Eleven apparently healthy cobras were on ono occasion re ceived at the London zoological gar dens. They refused to feed and grew thin. When one died It was discovered that Its mouth was sewn up with stitches so fine as to be Invisible to any but by tbe closest scrutiny. The rest of them did well on being restored to their normal condition. In connection with this subject I may mention that a rattlesnake was Bent to me from up country when I was In Demarara, with a history that It had killed a collie on one of the plantations. It had been badly Injured about the spine, probably In capture, so that on reaching me It was not only dead, but decomposed, and I was not able to make any com plete dissection, but I found that Its lips were tied together with stitches obviously the effort of an unpractlced hand, since the work was very coarse. This had apparently been preceded by an unsuccessful attempt to extract tho long, erectile, necdlo-llke tangs, for one of these was twisted half-round with Its bony base, and bad penetrated the lower lip when the Jaws were forcibly closed. It Is hardly possible that tho' duct was not accluded, but enough venom must have remained within thti tubo of the tiny delicate syringe to In flict a fatal scratch. Iternard'a Coat CoTera a Kanfts of Color aad Coat. "Reynard the fox, represented by Mi akin, comes to ua In four principal varieties," said the manager of a fur tore to a w.lter for tho New Tork Sun. "In his red Jacket he Is tho most com mon and least valued of all foxes, tils kin being worth IS In Us natural tlnta. It Is sometimes made Into furs for wom an's wearing, but more often It Is dyed. The principal use for the red foxskln Is as the central figure In rugs and lap robes, and sometimes sleigh and carriage robes are made entirely from these skins sewed together with the tall flip dangling from each. lied foxsklns And their way here from every part of the northern states and Canada. Hunters and trappers bring them to the fur trading stations and rural stores and farmers' boys the country over trap red reynnrd and find fine winter sport In running him with hounds, which they follow up on foot with guns. Here Is the skin of another fox less com mon, but as widely distributed, the gray or cross fox. It Is believed to be a crois between the silver and tha red fox you see It combines tha tlnta of tha two but Its name probably cornea from tha black cross so plainly marked on Ita baok. This akin Is worth $10. In Its natural color It makes up handsomely Into any kind of furs we sell. An at tractive form of boa and other gar ments In dark tints Is made by cutting out and using the black part of tha sktn of tha cross fox. We do the same thing, by the way, with that of the lynx. The arctic foxsklns come to us chiefly In two varieties, the white and the blue, but the last Inoludea also tha pled, the stone and the sooty fox. In this turfed specimen of the white fox you will notice that the soles of the feet are thickly coated with hair, from which It gets Its scientific name of lagopus, or hairy foot. The white fox, although a beautiful skin, Is the least valuable of all the arctlo varieties, for Its fur. though dnnse, Is not ao fine as that of the others. It la worth $15. Com pare It with this skin of tha blue fox, with Its silky bluish-gray fur, worth $10. The arotlc foxsklns come from Ice land, Siberia, Kamtchatka and North America. A curious thing Is told about the arctlo fox, that he Imitates the cries' of the blrda on which he feeds, and so entices them within his reach. Yet he Is not difficult to capture as compared with other varieties. He readily enters' a trap, and, when at large, will suffer the hunter to approach him within easy shot. Ha burrows with his fellows In groups, making villages similar to thoso of the prairie dogs, and, like that ro dent, he will pop his head out of the hole to salute the passer-by with yelps. Dut In the way of foxsklns there is nothing here to compare with this mag nificent specimen in beauty or cost," and the manager took from a glass case and sprend upon the counter a large skin with soft, dense, Jet black fur, to which longer, whlte-tlpped hairs Im parted the tint of silver gray. In places the skin waa almost pure black, no tably In a strip upon the back between the shoulders. "It Is the sliver gray fox, and this skin Is so nearly black that Its value Is almost $300. The skin of this speclos Is used In making eVery kind of expensive fur garments, from a tippet to a cloak, and Its value de pends on Its darkness of tints. It Is only In Russia that the pure black fox Is found, and there the value of, his skin Is not to be estimated, as tt Is an at tribute to royalty." We Have 'em Yet !

Considerable Interest Is manifest In Creston, Iowa, over the wonderful pro clivities for learning of little Dale Stough, the 0-year-old aon of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Stough. Little Dale's re tentive memory and his capabilities for learning are extraordinary. He first begnn to develop these powers at the age of 2 years, when his father bought him a set of alphabet blocks. These he learned rapidly and upon somo of them being lost told which blocks were miss ing and the letters upon them. He started to school last Saptomber and his rapid advancement was a source of con siderable worry to his Instructors. Pro motion followed promotion In quick suc cession, and Anally some of the teachers wont to the parents and complained that ho outstripped his olassmates so quickly as to make It almost Impossible to grade him. Dale Is at present read lnjr the fifth reader and studying his tory at home. He locks horns with al most any ono In a spelling contest. Take the first readers, In which his ear lier studies were, and pronounce words from It at random and he will tell you the page and lesson where the word Is found, and it you" should Introduce a strange word to entrap him he will know It. Mr. Stough, hi father, is a railroad man and his time table Is ol great Interest to Dale. Early In the morning before his parents are awak he will be sitting up in bad deciphering the meaning of tho Intricate column ol figures. Somo time ago Mr. Stough happened to allude to the date the pay car would arrive a month or two In ad vance, and named a certain date that ho figured It would arrive. Dale In stantly denied this on the grounds that the date mentioned would be Sunday, and examination proved him right- " Folnts on Etlqaette.
