The Hovns.
_ For 300 years France has been trying
to get possession of Madagascar. Two
enteritis ago she gave to the great island
the name of Oriental France. Since
then she has only got so far toward
‘ Men as to claim a protectorate
over the island, a protectorate which
the United States has never atzlmowl-
edged and it is to be hoped never will.
Tin truth is there is no more reason
Why France should take mssession of
W than of one of the South
American republics It is not a. barbaric
region. Doubtless missionaries have not
beers all that they should have been in
m places. But certain it is that they
have practically civilized Madagascar.
They reduced its language to writing.
They coitverted its people and taught
them civil government. Today the is-
land is quite as civilized us, say, Sici-
ly or use parts of s 'n.

Why, but the queen never promul-
fi‘ I gates a national decree without ascer-

W is ahead of America. It is the
law of Madagascar for the qnmn to
marry the prime minister. He always
belongs to the rank of the common peo-
ple; she. of ammo, to the nobles, and
thus the interests of the two elm-mos are
blended. The island has born govcmcd
‘ by queens since 1828 and has steadily
yogi-em in civilization. The present.
queen is Ranavnlonu III. and her hus-
band, the prime minister, is named
Rainllaiariveny. and he has been prom-
inent in the government of Mmlaguscar
. since 1842. He is the Gladstone and
‘ Bismarck in one of Madagascar and far
‘ mine of a modern statesman than Li

The Dog Craze.
It seems to be an epidemic as the grip
andtolast longerthanthat. Itusedto
be that parrots and cats were the solace
of women who had nothing better with
which to occupy their time. Now it is
dogs. There are, too. fashions in dogs as
in big sleeves and pointed shoes. First of
all the bright and woolly Spitz was the
fashion. Then came the pug. Now the
pug has hadhis day, and canines of a
larger, better looking build are in style.
In any large city in this Union, morn-
ing and evening, there is a great dog
parade. It seemsasthoughareflncd per-
son, sensitive to smells and breaths,
would not under any consideration have
a dog in the house, particularly a large
dog, on account of the health and well
being of both the person and the dog,
but facts contradict this theory. Refined
ladies keep large sized dogs in their
homes. even in little city flats, and let
the creatures sleep upon my lady's own
bed. Dog dentists and dog doctors
thrive. Astrnnge phaseof humnnna—
tare it is indeed. ,
The only explanation of it is fashion
-mere fashion. It cannot be that so
many women, even these with children
of their own and active interests in life,
suddenly are stricken with such enthu-
siastic dog love. They cmnot possibly
be all suddenly devotedtodogs. It must
be fashion to which they are devoted.
not dogs.
If Atlanta wants to attract great
crowds of northern people and even Eu-
ropeans to her International and Calm
States exposition, she should have Sher-
iff Galloway of Elbert county, 6a., give
a series of barbecues during the fair.
Sheriff Galloway knows how to cook
barbecue "train and serve the feast in a
way that probably no other man living
does. He says, in fact, that he is the
only man who understands how to run
a barbecue right. Perhaps he is correct.
Certain it is that the barbecue would be
one of the most famous features of the
big Show. The for»! would be llltho na-
ture of :t surprise to those who do not
know burly-cue llll‘iltn‘.
