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 17. 1882 882-52 ' AS CONSCIENTIOUS DRUGGISTS, WE WOULD— recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and kindred diseases, the use of MALTOPEPSYN.
