The Collie.
Collies, sheep -dogs, or shepherd -dogs,
as they are variously termed, are divid-
ed into two classes—the rough -coated, in
which the outer coat is long and rough
expanding into a frill or rough about
the neck, while a second or under coat
is soft and woolly and very warm, and
like sealskiteimpervious to moisture; and
the smooth -coated, in which the coat is
short, hard, and very compact. In both
classes the coat is weather -resisting ;
for the collie's duties -compel him to be
' out on the windy moors and bleak hill-
sides in all sorts of rough weather. In
colour he is black and. tan, black, tan,
and white, black and white, or, as the
fashien now demands, sable and sable
and white. The head is long and sharps
net domed in skull and snipy in muz-
zle; ears small and semi-erect; chest
iteep, with plenty of lung -room, back
broad and muscular mfore legs well un-'
der him, and shodd be strong and
streight, not heavy; hind legs Well
bent; tail bushy and carried low; in
general form lithe, symmetrical, and
graceful and. fairly light, giving one the,
Idea of great pace; altogether a hand-
some dog,one that poete have celebrated
in their verse and artiste love to .paint.
His carriage is dainty and natty, as that
of a fox; nor does the likeness end
there- Take the humanlike intelli-
gence ascribed to the hero of the old
romance of "Reynard the Fox," let the
craft and duplicity be refined and trans-
muted into devotion to his master, and
you have the characteristics of the
collie's nature. Beauty, intelligence,
and usefulness are all to be counted in
the highest degree to his credit.
in sagacity he excels all others of the
dog family. His was not the intelli-
gence of the trick dog; one look into
Lis "gay wise" eyes will tell you that
for antics and pranks like those of the
showmen's "troupe of canine artists"
your collie has the supremest contempt,
a dog's life is to him quite too serious to
be wasted in such frivolities, his mis-
sion is hard work; he has duties to per-
form, as hacl generations of his ances• -
tors before him. His one particula
task is. to care for flocks of sheep, an
because he does this, and does it so well,
he may take rank as the mose;useful of
all dogs. Indeed, certain puts of Scot-
land and England owe all their value
for sheep -raising purposes to the collie,
"Without him,' writes Hogg, the Et-
• tric Shepherd, "the mountainous land
of England and Scotland would not be
worth sixpence. It would require more
hands to: manage a flock of sheep, gather
them from the hills, force them into
houses and folds, and drive them to
market, than the profits of the whole
are capable of maintaining." He drives
out the sheep to pastire, coafines them
to their allotted territory (where there
are no fences,) keeps the flocks separate,
picks out from another band and brings
back to its own a straying :sheep; at
command collects into one plane the
sheep that may be scattered ler miles
around;• watches his charge faithfully
' through night and storm, is unyielding
with the head -strong rams, and 'con-
, siderate of the tender iambs; displays
Courage, caution; patience, and tact in
handling the flock, and will move
the sheep or force them into a fold
quicker, more surely, and with less dem-
onstration than a. dozen men;
A well-trained and experienced collie
appears to rule a flock of sheep by the
force of his dominant nature, just as a
good horseman controls a horse. He is
often equally successful in managing
unruly cattle, and gnmetimes *exercises
the same supremacy over other dogs.
One of my collies, champion "Tweed
IL," now retired from active sheep -herd-
ing service, decorated like a war veteran
with medals, and conscious (I fancy) of
having performed his allotted share of
toil, is a veritable Sir Dignity in fur and
frills, haughty, pompous, and important.
He never forgets his dignity save when,
as self -constituted high sheriff of all the
other dogs, he goes in swift and, dire
pursuit of a canine fugitive. Once when -
the dogs were being removed from one
town to another, a beagle hound escaped
from his box, and alarmed at finding
himself in a strange country, forthwith
disappeared in a cloud of dust down
the road. Tweed who was trotting
along at the side of the waggon, not a
-word being said, at once set out after
him, over -hauled the fugitive, took him
into custody, and calmly held him
down, with his back to the ground, un-
til the party came up.
I had at one time a large number of
pointers its my kennels, and it was a
favourite entertainment of visitors to
the kennels to dispatch Tweet!. to bring
in these dogs which were far away
romping in the fields - when the four
footed official appeared among them
they stopped their gambols and came
in, and woe to the laggard or straggler
among themwho had the temerity to
evade the summons. The old dog who
had driven many a flock of a thousand
sheep to market, thirty or forty miles a
day, is not at all the customer for a
wayward dog to hold in contempt with-
out serious consequences.—Thomas H.
Terry, in the Century.

Some Men at Washington.
E. M. in Christian union.
It is surprising, to one who watches
men closely,, to notice that most of our
leading public characters are stout men
physically. Occasionally a very thin
person manages to take a prominent
position, but the great majority are in-
clined to the rotund type. This must
be due to the fact that the nervous -tem-
perament does not succeed well in the
rough and tumble that goes by the
name of politics. Since Lincoln, we
have net had a spare man in the Presi-
dent's chair. Cleveland has the stout
build which is often a characteristic of
well-to-do business men who are just be-
ginning to feel middle age.
The Cabinet members are all heavy,
unless it is Vilas, who is well set up—
one of those well -knit, black headed and
bearded persons, who, so far as their
looks are concerned, might pass in al-
most any role. Some days- he looks the
picture of a successful insurance agent,
with a prompt air, as much as to say,
"Now, the next," A younger person,
blonde, tall and straight, is Secretary
Whitney, who looks, in his fashionable
clothes and jaunty eyeglasses, like a
prosperous broker from Wall street.
Whitney has a sort of direct, frank Nyay
with him that attracts peopte. He ;is
very bright, not as a statesman, but in
the dollars and cents way of seeing
things, Which the genuine New Yorker'
.never shakes off. Whitney is the only
very rich man in the Cabinet, and with
his money, joined to considerable
shrewdness, he is likely «to be quite a
*Pre for some time to come. Bayard,
Lamar and Garland are stout. Manning
is the heaviest—a fat figure, with a big,
round face, insubordinate hair, and, with
his German accent, giving to a strangei
the impression of a German opera -singer.
Yet he talks well, and, in a certain di-
rection, is a good. executive officer.
Garland and Bayard look something
alike. Both are of middle height, in-
clined to rotundity, smooth -faced,
strong features, but agreeable. Yet
there is a difference too marked to
escape notiee. Bayard is more refined,
scrupulously neat, his hair is fine, he -
talks elegantly, and leans toward the
niceties of L life., lie inherited a com-
petence, and, 'while he makes no display
he lives handsomely in his pretty house.
He can cook terrapin like an expert one
minute; and be deep in a discussion with
a foreign minister the next. He is
equally at home sounding a trout brook
or delivering an address at a college
• commencement. His stories are good,
his after-dinner speeches excellent. In'
shortehe comes very near to the perfec-
tion of a man mellowed by a lone ex-,
perience in public life, and (pick to
avail himself of the advantages he has
met. lie vrawbrought up as a merchant,
without a classical education, but who
never had much schooling, he is a fine
scholar'and especially popular at all
kinds of literary gatherings. He is -
nothing' of a 'politician. His idea on
that score is that he can trust what his
friends say, which shows that he is not
fitted for the kind a diplomacy which
the average, Democrat employs in order
to get a " worker " an office. Mr. Bay-
ard has a greet" idea of decorum. He is
never known to do an improper, thing.
When in the S-enate he was the model of
all the proprieties of that somewhat
tediously dignified body.
Save in locate Mr. Garland is the op-
posite of the Secretary .of State. Gar-
land is a rough diamond. His mind is
rugged, rather than cultured. He is a
fine lawyer,loving the theory and prac-
tice of the law, but outside of that he
reads,very few books. He is eminently
pereistent and honest, but he lacks those
milder graces'that distinguish Bayard.
Garland cares nothing for society. He
rather shuns it. While in the Senate I
never saw him at a White House gather-
ing. Whenthe Senate used to adjourn
he would go off to Arkansas, to a house
that he has built in the mountains, and
there remain, all summer, discussing law
questions, and fishing. In much the
same unconventional style is Seeretary
Lamar fashioned. Indifferent to his
personal appearance, disposed to take
• life easily, fond of fiction and history
reading, he lives, as Secretary of the In-
terior, about the kind of an existence
that he delighted in when a professor in
the college from whence he cama to the
Senate. His long hair and beard, loose-
jointed limbs and deep-set eyes are in
keeping with his waye. He likes to be
alone. A horse stands hitched at the
door of the department. At any hour
of the day he is liable to eome, out,
mount, and ride off for an hour of two,
entirely oblivious to the throng waiting
to Hee him. He sits in 'his chair' listen-
ing to people, while his mindis far
away. He live si in bachelor quarters,
surrounded by books, and is never so
haPpy as when, with a few friend, he
spends an evening in talking about old-
time worthies and deeds, of which he is
an encyclopedia. Lamar fir a relic of the
old-time school of Southerners, brilliant,
inert, but, under pressure, capable of
doing a deal of work.
Mr. Hendricks does not change.- In
his sleek bread -cloth and clerical ehoker,
he might easily betaken for a minister,
an illusion which his soft voice, with its
Hiberniannccent, would only increase. -
He always was a mild-mannered and
gratiating person, a fact to which much
of his personal popularity is due. Both
he and Senator Morrillnof Vermont,
though the latter shows the ravages of
advancing years'have a suggestion of
the looks of Charles Sumner, as you see
them in the common prints. I think
Mahone and Mr. Payne, whom the
Ohio Democrats sent here 'to succeed
Pendleton, are the lightest men in the
Senate, though both Sherman and In-
galls are spare to a degree, and Wm. M.
Everts' peculiarity in that respect is
proverbial. Sawyer, of Wisconsin, the
rich lumberman, with his short ody
and head deep between his shoulders, is'
the sole fat person in the Senate. Thel
others are healthy -looking individuals,
many of them in appearance - the oppo-
site of their true selves. Thus; Mr. Ed:
munds has a serene, almost saintly,
head, which would ornament a bishop's
chair, and as he sits placidly watching
the proceedings no one would Imagine
that he could burst forth imsuch bitter
denunciation as sometimes comes from
him.' Mr. Hoar, with the credit of pos-
sessing one of the sharpest tongues in
the Senate, with his silver 'hair and
round face'presents the aspect of per-
fect benignity. Van Wyck is the live-
liest man in that body, Ransom' he most
indifferent, Everts the most sensitive,
Edmunds 'the most reserved, Frye' and
Hawley the best oretors, Ingalls the
most bitter in his speech, Sherman the
most profound, Morgan talks the most,
Allison is the shrewdest politician, Gib -
eon the quietest, Jackson the Democrat
who is liked the best among the Repub-
licans, and vice versa '
° The sphinx of the" house is Randall.
Scores of men have tried to find him out
but failed. He is short, thick -set,
smoothly shaven, with a profile as
classic as a Roman consul. He is *very
powerful; why is unexplainable. His
style of speaking is poor, he uses none of
the arts which generally bring popular-
ity, and has his hand raised against legisla -
tion on generalyrinciples. "The less we
do the better, I have heard him say a
dozen times to members begging him to
allow bills to pass. He domineers the
House. Where (Abel's conciliate, he
fers no explanation. Hard knocks are
his forte, without the slightest attempt
to mellow their effect.
One secret of his power is that he
makes a business of being a Congress-
man, thinks of nothing -else, never for-
gets, and so has a moral terrorism over
his weaker fellows, «who lsit in their
sats, trying to look as if they were
reading, until they hear is voice crying;
"All up," and feel his long finger point-
ine at them. That voice and finger have
changed the result of many a vote in the
House. 1
Of just the opposite bearing is Ran-
dall's only rival, who can lay claim to
that title. Speaker Carlisle is gentle,
suave, argumentative. The startling
pallor of his face, and rather stooping
form, give him the look of a semi -in-
valid, bat he is not. He is popular,
judicial and fair. In the House he is
regarded as really an abler man than
Bauclall, but, the country has not that
I =
idea. Carlisle is a far more attractive
person) yet of the two Randall is clearly
much ahead in Cleveland's confidence,
and iseonstantly at the White House.
Christ Before Men.
Something more than fifty years ago
there was a small dinner pally at the
other end of London The ladies had
withdrawn, and, under the guidance of
one member of the, -company, the conver-
sation. took a turn, of which it will, be
enough here and now to say that it was
utterly dishonorable to Jesus Christ our
Lord. One of the guests .said nothing,
but presently asked the host's permission
to ring the bell, and when the servant
appeared, he ordered his carriage. He
then, with the courtesy oft perfect self -
command, expressed his regret at being
obliged to retire., but explained that he
was still a Christien. Mark the phrase,
for it made deep impression at the time
—" still a Christian." Perhaps it occurs
to you that the guest who was capable
of this act of simple courage must have
been a bishop or, tit least, a alergy-
man. The party was made up entirely
of laymen, and the guest in question be--
canie the great Prime Minister of the
early days of the reign of Queen Victoria
was the late Sir Robert Peel.—
Cerson H. P. Lidden, D. D.
- An American Goose Farm.
Philadelphia Press.
The only goose ranch—that is, a farm
devoted to the breeding and care of,
geese—in this country is owned and
operated by Philadelphians. The farm
is legated on the eastern shore of Vir-
ginia, and covers nearly 3,000 acres,
over which the feathered occupants are
free to roam. In England there is a
number of such farms,' some of them
having as high as 1,00 geese. The
American one is of much larger propor-
tions, as its flocks number in the neigh-
borhood of 5,000 birds..
In certain textile branches of trade
the down and feathers of geese are the
main raw materials. The manufacture
of fine quilts and the -preparation of cer
tam n articles of dress utilize the down',
and in cheaper grades of goods the
younger and softer feathers are used in
the way 'of adulteration. The large and
strong feathers of the wings go mainly
into the quill pens used by professional
engrossers, lawyers, clergymen, authors,
and others. These are too totigh for
much use in the textile produntions
noted above.
The American farm is- devoted exclu-
sively to producing the raw materials
needed for the fine down quilts. Sev-
eral species of geese are bred, all of them
being, however, of American lineage.
The largest specimens are the swan
geese, and the plumage of all is of
snowy, whiteness. The birds are regu-
larly fed with corn and other grains, and
are given the utmost freedom coasistent
with the prevention of straying and loss. -
In consequence men are employed as
herders to keep a, watchful eye on their
_charges. Sheds for shelter are provided
in case of inclement or especially
,severe weather, but the birds rarely use
them'.
'About every Six weeks the plucking
takes place. Only the breast and per
tions of the sides are touched, the feath-
ers of the back, the wings and the tail
being left intact. It requires nearly 100
average geese to furnish a pound of
down, though the smaller feathers which
are alai taken, weigh much heavier.
These feathers, however, form an en-
tirely separate grade of product from the
valuable down-.
The average life of a goose is said to
be about forty years, and they produce
from six to ten eggs per annum, a large"
proportion of which are hatched. A
bird hatched in February is in condition
for plucking the ,following August, and
so on thereafter every six or eight weeks.
The feathers are packed in sacks and
sent to the Philadelphia factory, where
they are trimmed, washed, steamed,
and otherwise prepared for their ulti-
mate uses. in adulterating the fluffy
down for the cheaper grades of goods
the feathers are chopped up fine and
then mingled with the more valuable
material. So practiced are some manu-
facturers that it requires an expert to
distinguish between the grades. The
local factory, which is the only one of
prominence in the country, makes noth-
ing but the finer goods. Heretofore the
down • and feathers used in American
markets have been imported.
Catarrh—a New Treatment.
Perhaps the most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured
of this stubborn malady. This is none the less
startling when it is remembered -that no five per
bent. of patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at all. Starting with the
claim now generally believed by the most icien-
tide men that the disease is due to the presence
of living parasites in the tiesue, Mr. Dixon at
once adapted his cure to their extermination--
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prac-
tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion-
td, as cures effected by him four _years ago are
cures still. No one else has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat;
ment has ever cured Catarrh. 'The application
of the remedy is simple, and can be done at
home, and the present season of the year is the
most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure,
the majority of cases being cured at one treat-
ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs.
A. IL DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, West,
Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for their
treatise on Catarrh.—Montreal Star, November

AS CONSCIENTIOUS

WE WOULD—
recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and
kindred diseases, the use of MALTOPEPSYN.
For Consumption and all wasting diseases "the
use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN
COD -LIVER OIL. For teething infants and
nervous, troubles, the use of GLYCEROLE OF
CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.)
:You _probably ask why we recommend these
remedies
It is because we know them tobe reliable
remedies, endorsed leading physicians
throughout the Dominion, for the cure of specific
diseases, and not Claiming to cure everything.
Also because they have the exact formula printed
on eeeh bottle label,thereby -.enabling the pur-
chaser to know just what he is taking.
The time is rapidly approaching when intelli-
