How Eskirou Do?* are Trained. As the Eskimo mast sometime be babies, so the dogs mast &t some time be puppies, and the puppies are allowed inside the igloo on the bed, where they are the favorite playthings of the young heir. His mother makes him a number of doll dog-harnesses for the puppies, fixes him up a dog-whip almost like his father's, and then he amuses himself har nessing them, hitching them to a hatchet, the water-bucket, or any object that is at hand; and driving them around in the igloo and storm igloo, or out-of doors, when the weather is very pleas¬ ant. As soon as the puppies get a little bigger, the larger boys take them in hand, and by the time they are old enough to be used for work in the sledges they are almost well-trained dogs. And so with the little Eskimo himself; when he is a young man, he is a good dog-driver, and knows how to manage a sledge under all circumstances. This is the hardest thing that an Eskimo has to learn. I have known white men to equal them in rowing in their little seal¬ skin canoes; I have seen white men build good igloos; ■ bnt I never seen a white naan who was a good dog-driver, and the Eskimo told me that they had never seen such an one, either. When they drive their dogs, it is in the shape of a letter V, the foremost dog being at the converging point, and the harness traces running back in Y-shapes, to the sledge. The forward dog is called the "leader,” or "chief,” and, in trading dogs, a "leader” is worth two good fol¬ lowers, or ordinary workers. The Eski¬ mo dog-driver manages the leader wholly by the voice, making him stop, go ahead, to the right or to the left, as he may speak to him; and as he acts, bo do the others, who soon learn to watch him closely, and strangest of all, to obey him even after they are unharnessed, al¬ though "the leader” may not be one of the largest and strongest dogs in the team.— Lieut. Frederick Sekwalka, in St Nicholas for March. Women Rule In Bantam. Among tfi r colonial possessions, e or, ruore correctly, dependencies, of Hol¬ land, says a foreign letter writer, there is a remarkable little State which, in its constitution and the original costume of its inhabitants, surpasses the boldest of dreams of the advocates of women’s rights. ... In T .1 the t Island i j of c Java, t . between . the cities of Batavia and Hamarane, is «» tributary to Hollund, is an independent State. The Sovereign *Y is, indeed, a man, but , all the , rest of „ the government . be- , Ion ?s to the fair sex. The King is en tir.lv dependent upon hie State Conned. The highest authorities, military com mandera and soldiers are, without ex ception, of female sex. These amazons ride in the masculine style, wearing ° sharp , steel , . points . , instead . ... of spurs, Tnev __‘ carry a nointed lance, which they 3wing „ very gracefully, and j also i___ a musket, . , which is discharged at full gallop. The capital of this little State lies in the most picturesque part of the island in a fruitful plain, and is defended by two well-kept fortresses. A gentleman of veracity told me that for three uights he dreamed that a man with wun a a full tub red red face lace armeared appeared to to him mm, carrying a hammer, which he held over ilia head in a menaoiug manner.

It was the duty of a physician, especially of a health officer, to condemn publicly any remedy which he knew to be injurious, but it was not right testify¬ to say that he should be debarred from ing to the merits of anything which he knew to be good. If this were so, the world would not receive the benefit of half the discoveries made in art or science. threatened Thus the people expulsion ar¬ gued, while the time-honored faculty ethics, and talked of customs. professional courtesy and traditions. But the matter soon assumed a new and surprising phase. A few days # afterward a certificates appeared in the daily papers bear¬ ing the autograph signatures of Governor McLane, Attorney-General Roberts, chiefs Mayor of Latrobe, city postmaster Adreon. and municipal d^p^xtniGnfcSj judges and clerks of courts, Federal officials and Con¬ gressmen, emphatically endorsing the action of the health commissioner, and concurring in his opinion as to the efficacy of the remedy, asserting that they did so from personal and obser¬ ex¬ perience with it and practical tests vations. There could be no gainsaying such evidence as this,but,as if to cap the climax, shortly after- with ward there appeare i another certificate xss& ingthe physicians gsx&Jns&EfiSx of all the leading hospitals, the physician to the city fire department the port physician, vaccine physician all endorsing and resident the physicians of infirmaries discovery and slating that it bad been tested anil that analyses had shown no trace of g5Si?*j£d ttS they had been induced to take this step in vie \ v 9 f t he man ? hurtful preparations which contained 1 narcotics and poisons and of the dangers consequent on their use. The reme dy in question is Red Star Cough Cure. Such a conclusive answer as this to the narrow ar guments of the few, arrayed public sentiment on the side of the Health Commissioner, and it is significant that Dr. Steuart has since been appointed to office by the Mayor for a third term, and has had his appointment unanimously confirmed by the City Council, Owing to the high professional reputation well as to the enviable standing of the owners of the remedy, The CHarles A.
