HE 18 A KIIHTY HUNTER GAME ANIMALS. OF ti*v*r ReachM the Size of a Welf ami la of Peculiar ShapeTa Be Found All Over Aaia. The red dog sever reaches see aaw of a wolf, tbeucn it exeeeda taaa ef a Jackal, aaya tha Saratoga Review, ha shape is uneouta, the body nanww ami low in tka feratcarters, wit* levee Umbe ending la large awkward aawa, the mead and track carried low. Tka head, remarkaele for tka large elast furry ear*, la intermediate between the domestic dog and fox, without the honest look of tka one ef the quick witted shareneas of the ether. AgeJaet these disadvantages the bright cheat* nut hue ef the wild dog'a coat, shading into slack at the end of the brush, does act avail far handsomeness. Over saoet ef Iadia it is to he found, en- mountains and plains, In forest, where forest grows and about the bare elopes where the kills have not vegeta tion. East ef Iadia, a very similar beast ranges even to Java, and anoth er, paler and shaggier, haunts of Si beria and Sakhalin, so that over most of Asia one form or other is to be reckoned with. Naturally the Indian specie* is the siost known, yet it Is not known at all intimately, for though so widely spread it is not a common animal and the field natural ists ef India have little to say of it. But it is clear that the red dog is a very different animal from the wolf and far superior to any other eastern eanine. Most of the wild relatives of our dogs are cowardly beasts, feeding on carrion and small animals and 'wly attacking large ones when hard pushed by hunger. Such is the wolfs way ef life, while the jackal skulks round villages and sometimes enters large towns la search of scraps, mak ing night hideous with his howls, even to Calcutta. Bat the red dog ie a true hunter, tka deadliest foe to the game animals that is known in the east. Be la aet very swiftless so than the jackalor is he adroit or graceful ia Us actions, ant ke follows the soeat meetly In alienee, with a deadly persistence, and however long Che trail may be the pack runs into their victim without fail in the end. They do not go In large numbersa dozen would ba a big packbut what they want in force la replaced by their courage and sunning strategy in at tack. Their ordinary prey is the powerful sambur deer and the beautiful spotted axis, corresponding to our red deer and fallow deer, the various antelopes of the plains and wild goats of the hills. All of these they harry in turn for a few days, then the terrified beasts forsake that section of the Jungle and the red pack must range far afield again, not to return till long after, when the terror of their raid has subsided in the locality. Their methods of attack are terrible in the extreme some of their devices, in deed, can hardly be mentioned here. Suffice it to say that their ordinary plan, whenever possible, is to disem bowel the victim. Deer are not the only prey on which these terrible creatures adventure the biggest horns known of the gaur (bos gaurus) came from one said to have been killed by wild dogs, of the Burmese race In this ease and yet this gaur, the largest of all wild oxen, is too much for the ordinary tiger and the tiger often fails with the bear, the most gallant of all wild animals, but the red pack will bring him to bis end. Their fellow carnivores even are not safe. The black bear of the Hi malayas, although the fiercest of Italian bears, has been seen in his Inst struggle with the pack, with torn coat and flesh In strips, fighting game ly still. Chinese Are Workers. Everybody ia China works hard, even those who have reached the highest positions. It is related of a member of the Chineae cabinet that he left home every morning at two o'clock as he was in duty at the palace from three to six. As a member of the privy council he was engaged from six to nine. From nine until eleven he was at the war department, of which he was president. As the mem ber of the board of punishment he was in attendance from 12 till two and as a member of the foreign office he spent every day from two till five or six there. In addition he frequently served on special boards or commis sions. A Big Cruiser. The armored cruiser Washington, which has been formally accepted by the government, has 14,500 tons dis placement, with a speed of 22 knots and a main battery of four ten-inch guns and 16 six-inch rfhpid-fire rifles. She also has ample coal capacity, and a fair amount of armor protection. Her battery verges on that of the bat tleship class and her speed would en able her to accept or decline combat as her commander might see fit. Christmas Cash Gone Goes Insane.

St. PaulThe large arouse qnad rtam tc ae erected over the south en toaaee to tha new eapltol has been shipped from New York aad will be put ia place soon. The quadriga is ike work of two sculptors, Daniel C. Fseaek and 10. C. Potter. It has been en exhibition at the lirrmi works ot Jeka Williams, Incorporated* New York, where it fcas been viewed by many architects and sculptors. The croup is of colossal proportions. The base measures 21 feet by 18 feet and the height over all is II feet. Un like the reproductions of most of the work ef present day sculptors, it is of hammered sheet copper instead of being east in bronze. The method of making statues and ether ornamental pieces in this man ner has come down to us from the aneients, and as they had a full knowl edge of the casting processes for dupli cating pieces of this sort, the greater part of their work being of cast bronze, we must conclude that with them, the same reasons hold good for making the work in sheet hammered metal instead of casting as now exist. Caretaker for Mineopa. MankatoState Auditor Iverson an nounced the appointment of J. B. Hid^e of Minneopa Station as caretaker of the new Minneopa State Park, near Mankato. The appointment is made under the law by which the park was acquired by the state, which provides that a caretaker should be appointed by the state auditor until such time as the legislature makes some other provision in the matter. The legislature of 1905 appropriated $5,000 for the purchase of the land for the park, but the negotiations for the land and the perfection of the title con sumed a great deal of time, and the transaction was not completed until Deo. 4. The owner of tho land was paid $3,500. and the title has now passed to the state. The park is located about four miles west of here and includes about sixty acres through which the Minneopa river runs. The chief feature in the park are the falls, of which there ars two.
