It is not often that a ilog'insists upon the right of way in opposition to an electric car. but this is what a small black dog did on Fullertou avenue on a recent afternoon, and for a considera ble distance held doggedly to his way, despite the clanging of the car gong, the shouts of the motormau and the I rumbling of the car which at times I threatened to run him down. His appearance did not convey the : impression that he was extracting any j particularly enjoyment from the affair, J but, however that may be, he kept the i track directly ahead of the car for near- j ly a mile, and when he did finally draw off it was evident that weariness was the impelling motive. There was something about the dog’s actions, however, that suggested that he thought he possessed quite as much speed us the cur, and was anxious to try conclusions with it, for from the moment he bounced on the track ahead of the ear until he finally drew out of the way he maintained an ex ceedingly high rate of speed. In fact, for a considerable distance he easily held his own, but after about a mile had been traveled he began to lug u little. Then the ear began to draw nearer to him, and a little further on began to crowd him, but he bold his way and never once looked behind. Soon he began to show signs of dis tress. llis tongue protruded a long way and he faltered occasionally, but, still he showed no signs of quitting. The clang of the car's gong and the shout of the motorman attracted the attention of people along the street, who stopped and viewed with amused interest the strange race. Beverul times it seemed as if the dog would certainly be run over, but at the last moment he would let out another link and draw out of danger. Whether lie had completed the dis tance he had laid out. for himself, or concluded that the ear was too speedy for him. must be a matter of conjecture, but, in any event, just before Clybourn avenue was reached he pulled otf the track, stopped a moment, shook him self. gave a glance toward the passing ear and walked over to the sidewalk, where he lay clown and res ter], with every evidence of satisfaction with him self.--Chicago Tribune.

In the streets of St. Augustine to day one occasionally catches a glimpse of a type of American beauty that fair ly takes the breath away, and again he wees traces of the type in so many other faces that he unhesitatingly attributes them all to the same source. There are only n few pure-blooded Minorcan women left in this country, but the blood of these ancient slaves has mingled with that of our noble southern fam ilies and perpetuated In a degree a beauty that is now rarely seen. What the Creole blood has done for so many women in New Orleans the Minorcan blood lias accomplished for the inhab itants of Florida. The wondrous eyes, the regular, classic features and the beautiful hair are all worthy of the Creek slave—their real ancestral proto t.vpc. I he story of the Florida Minorcans is interesting, dramatic, tragic. They were the first slaves brought to this I country—and while slaves at that! They suffered the horrors of a slavery which was unregulated by law and which would have made the scene in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” commonplace. The existence of this white slave col ony in the south was only nine years, hut in that length of time enough sor row and misery were compressed to fill hnlf a century.—Detroit Free Press. Orlteln of I'ptrnlpnm. Scientists are greatly engrossed in the discussion of the origin of petro leum. Some of them contend that It iw a contemporaneous production; oth ers insist that it is, and has been for ages, stored in the great arteries of the earth. The artificial production of petroleum has suggested that changes of temperature and pressure may pro duce the various substances that go to make up this complex article. If one pressure gives one ingredient, and an other pressure produces another arti cle. why is it not possible that away down in mid-earth the currents and counter-currents, with the varying con dilions of heat, cold, dryness, moist ure and pressure, may not be constant ly at work producing not only petro leum, but other substances of which It is altogether likely that we, up to the present date, know little or nothing.— N.
