MaNuatie the shearer had met with an accident. To tell the truth he Ina been in a drunken row at a wayside, shanty, from which he had °inapt& with three fractured ribs, a crackedhead, and varioue minor abrasions. His dog, Tally,had been a sober but savage participator in the drunken row, and had *Named with a broken leg. Mac- quarie afterwards shouldered his swag and staggered and struggned along the track ten milea to the Union Town Hospital. Lord knows how he did it. He didn't exactly -know himself, Tally limped behind all -the way *a three legs. i -The doctorexamined the man's injurien and were surprised at hits endurance. Even doctors are surprised sometimee-though they don't -always show it. Of course they Would take him in, but they objected to Tally. Dogs were noteallowed on the prem' ises, . "You will have to turn that dog out," Ikey said to the shearer, as he sat on the edge of abed. r Macquarie said nothing. - "We cannot allow dogs about the place, my man," eaid the doctor in a louder tone, thinking the man was deaf. 0 "Tie him up in the yards then." " No. He must go out. Dogs are not perrnitted on the grounds." blacquire rose slowly to his feet, shut his agony behind his set teeth, painfully but his shirt over his hairy breast, took up his waistcoat, and staggered to the cor- ner where his swag lay. . "What are you going to do?" they asked. " You antteming to let my dog stop?" 'M. Its against the rules. There are no dogs. allowed on the premises." He stooped and lifted his -swag, but the pain was too great, and he leaned back against the wall. ‘ "Come, come now ! man alive !" ex- olaimed tile doctor, impatiently, "You must be mad. You know you are not in a fit state t;ig o out. Let the wardsman help you to u rens." "No !"I aid Macquarie. " " No. If you won't take my doe in you don't take me, He's got a broken leg and wants fixing up just -just as much as -as I do. If I'm good enough to come in he's good enough -and -- better." He paused awhile, - breathing painfully, and then went on. " That -that there old dog of mine has followed me faithful and true these twelve long, hard and hungry years. He's about - about the only thing that ever cared whether I lived or fell and rotted ,on the cursed track." He rested again; then he contined, "That -that there dog was pupped on the track," he said, with a sad sort of a smile. "1 car- ried him for months in a billy can, and afterwards on my:meg when he knocked up. . . . And the old slut -his mother ---,she'd foller along quite contented -and sniff the billy now and again -just to see if he was all right. . . She loitered me 'till she was blind -and for a year after. She follered me till she could crawl through the dust no longer, and -then I killed her, because I couldn't leave her behind alive !" He rested, again. "And this here old dog," he continued, touching Tally's upturned nose with his knotted fingers," "this here old dog has lot- lered me for ten years; through floods and droughts, through fair times and -and hard -mostly lard; and kept me from going mad when I had no mate nor -money on the lonely track; and watched over me for weeks when I was drunk -drugged and - poisoned at the cursed shanties ; and saved my life moren once, and got kicks and curses very often for thanks; and forgave me for it all ; and -fought for me. He was the only living thing that stood up for me against that erawhng push of cars when they set onter me at the shanty back yonder -and he left his mark on some anent too . and -so did I." lie took another spell. Then he drew in his breath, abut his teeth hard, shouldered his swag, stepped into the doorway, and faced round again. The dog limped out of the corner and looked up anxiously. "That there dog," said Macquarie to the hospital stiff in general, "is a better dog than I'm a man -or you to, it seems -and a better Christian. He's been a better mate to me than I ever was to any man -or any man -or any man to me. He's watched over me; kept me from getting robbed many a time ; fought for me ; saved my life and took drunken kicks and cursea for thanks -and forgave me., He's been a true, straight, honest, and faithful mate to me - and I ain't going to desert him now -I ain't going to kick him out in the road with a broken leg.

How to Know a Mad Dog. Dogs are not always mad when they are suspected of it, yet perhaps it is just as well that people are over -suspicious and ready to fly from a dog that is only sick and not afflicted with rabies at all. In Our Animal Friends for July, Mr. John P. Hainei says that in the thirty years that have elapsed since the founding of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, not one undoubted case of rabies has come under the observation of the officers of the society. He admits that there is such a disease, but holds that eases of • it are ex- tremely rare. Mr. Haines deckees that the signs of madness in a dog are not what they are popularly supposed to be, and he gives facts condensed from information re- ceived from physicians of undoubted author- ity, as follows : so. Tt, e -likely 1. It is supposed thatti mad dog is -likely dog dreads water. It is no to plunge his head to ate eyes in water, though he can not swallow it and laps it with difficulty. It is supposed that a mad dog runs about with evidences of intense excitement. It, ie not so. The mad dog never runs about in agitation •, he never gallops ; he is always alone, usually in a strange place, where he jogs alone slowly. if he is approached by dog or man, he shows no signs of excite- ment, but when the dog Tor man is 'near enough, he snaps and resumes his solitary trot. 3. If a dog berks, yelps,whines or growls, that dog is not mad. The May sound a mad dog is ever known to emit is a hoarse howl and that but seldom. Even blond will not extort an outcry from a mad dog. There- fore, if any doe, under any circumstances, utters any other sound than, that of a hoarse howl, that dog is not mad. 4. It is supposed that the mad dog froths at the mouth. It is not se. If a dog's jaws are covered or flecked with white froth, that dog is not mad. The surest of all signs that et dog is mad is a thick and ropy brown mucous clinging to his lips, which- he often tries vainly to trier away with his paws or wash away with water. 5. If your own dog is bitten by any other dog, watch him carefully. If he is infected by rabies, you will discover signs cf it pos- sibly in from six to ten days. Then he will be restless, often getting up only to lie down again,changing his position impatient- ly, turning from aide to side, and constant- ly licking or 'watching some particular part of his head, limbs, or body.': He will be ir- ritable and inclined to dash at other ani- mals, and he will sometAmes snap at objects which he imagines to be near him. He will be excessive thirsty, lapping water eagerly and often. Then there will be glandular swellings about his jaws and throat, and he will vainly endeavor to rid himself of a thick, ropy, mucous discharge from his mouth and threat. If he can, he will proi bably stray away from home and trot slow- ly : and mournfully along the highway or across country, meddling with neither man , nor beast, unless they approach him, _and then giving , a single snap. The only excep- tion to this behavior occurs in ferocious dogs which, during the earlier stage of ex- citement, may attack any living object in sight. To completely upset all these accepted ideas in regard to rabies, Mr. Haines fur- ther says that dogs are no more liable to go Mad in July or August than in any other months of the year. He adds that you are bitten by a dog that is supposed to be mad, the best thing you can do is to take a few vapor baths as hot as you eau bear them, and then endeavor to forget alt. about it. The perspiration will eliminate any poison that may have been introduced into your system. 'Possibly it may be true that the bite of a sick dog (not rabid) may cause some form of blood -poisoning in hot weather which the imagination magnifies until it 'as bad as rabies. Unless we countenance some such opinion as this we must conclude that Mr. Haines belittles the danger of which he writes. J. C. Smith & CO., 33.21.1NTICMRS- A.

The gentleman mentioned in this item was a brother of the late Peter McNaughton, of the fith concession of Mc- Killop, and resided for some time in that township, previous to 1861, and was well and favorablyrknown by numbers of the old settlers many of whom have already crossed that bourne from whence no traveller e'er returns. 'The Bell says t` " It is often remarked that "truth is stranger than fiction," and then it is exem- plified very frequently in our midst as the following illustrates: Hugh McNaughton was born in the Highlands of "Bonny Scot- land," in the year 1834.

After returning from the field Mr. McNaughton visited with .0 brnther for three weeks and then "went west," and was lost to his friends for thirty years and everyone believed him dead, or years and years, when a few months ago a letter came from him to his twice to the great joy of his friends and when he disovered he had a host of friends and relatives resid- ing as far_ west as O'Brien County, Iowa, he resolved to pay them a visit, is here now, enjoying "one continual round of pleasure."

There are some people who seem to have been born with a prose in their nature, and to some extent it is their misfortune rather than their fault that they make diss,greable companions. Still, there is such a thing as grumbling becoming a habit, and there are some girls I have known who persist in making them- selves disagreeable, and who seem to like to be always setting their friends' teeth on edr. 'he sour girl is the sort of whom it is said "she has risen off her wrong side." She is always rising off her " wrong side" simply because she has no right side. She has got into the kabit of always looking at the dark side of things, and she shuts her heart against the sunlight of love. If she har- bours a kind thought or does a good action she is almost ashamed of it, lied when she. laughs there is just a touch of bitterness in it, as if she would tether not have given way to such frivolity-. There is only one chance for a sour girl, and that is for her to nieet a bright, young fellow While she is still young and before her character is fully formed. Under the brightness of his laugh and the warmth of his love she may thaw her frozen soul and become a good,sweenloving woman. If the sour girl only knew it she is her own worst enemy. It is wonderful what one can do to throw off gloom and chronic depression if one only tries. To do so one must give up thinking too much of one's self, and try to take an interest in the hap- piness of others. To be sour is to be selfish, and to be selfish is to lose all the beat and highest gifts of life. • - News Notes. -Ottawa's population is 63,480. -A private cable from Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier says he will sail for home on August 19. -A large portion of the business part of Wiarton was destroyed by fire the other morning. _Rev.

HELPLESS FOR A YEAR. BowedDown with Rheumatism and Sciatica. From the Post, Sackville, N. B. , Records like the following carry convic- tion with them, and in a practical tense it might be said that this is still the age of miracles. Mr. Edward Downey, of Mec- um, N, B., says: "I have been a resident of Cumberland County soine years. I have been a great sufferer for upwards of ten years, with sciatic rheumatism. I was tor- tured with severe pains, which at times would become almost unbearable, and I think I suffered 'inmost everything a man can suffer and live. I was so crippled that I could not work and part of the time was not able to even move about. I became so weak, and my system so run down that I despaired of ever getting better. My ease was an almost hopeless one, and as I had abandoned work I was inmost helpless for over a year. I heard of Dr: Williams' Pink Pills and I was induced to at least give theion a trial. In a short time I began to receiver, and the agonizing pains left my back and limbs, so that I was enabled to walk out of doors. Before I had used more than half a dozen boxes I was almost entirely well and could no a hard day's work. I had a good appetite and began to gain ftesh and feel like.a new Man. I am free from aches and pains and have Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to thank for it all," The reporter could not help feeling that Mr. Downey's case was a striking one, as he now presents a' stout well built figure, straight limbed and asi. emart in his movements as a young man of twenty. . 1.._ ed their use, and detived so muoh benefit that I con. - tinued-using them.

Duriug Mrs. Jeremiah Black's life in Washington, when her distinguished bus band was in the cabinet, she was one of the moat efficient helpers in the early struggles of the Vermont Avenue Christian church. With the little hand- ful of that faith who "broke bread" in some private house or obsoure- hall, she went regularly. A even remember, ed anecdote of that time illustrates her fidelity and at the same time her gen- tle, kindly nature. The church was meeting in Temperance hall. Judge Blaokte driver, Peter, sensitive for the honor of the family, or more so for hie tentage, felt it to be something of a diagram* to stand before such a bnild- ing on Sunday. One day he touched up- on the subject as gently as he could by saying: "Mrs. Black, that ain't a very fine church you and the judge go to." "No, Peter," said the lady, "it is not a very grand one." "Mrs. Black, do you 'spec' to 'tend that church every Sunday?" "Yes, Peter, until they get a better one." - "Well, Mrs. Black, I wanted to ax you sornethin, thongh I don't much like to say it, marm."1 "Wit is it, Peter?" "Well, marm, / wanted to tell you de drivers ,of de other members of de cabinet kinder makes fun of 'me 'bout standin 'fore dat meetin house, and I wanted_ to ax you if you hadn't no ob- jection to let me drive down to dat fine Presbyteriau church where de other big men go and stand dere wid my carriage until yOur xneetin is out, an den drive back for you and de judge.'1' "All right; Peter, if you'll be on time," said Mrs. Black, and Peter sat's- fted his mind that he saved the credit of the family and of his horses and car- riage afterward by standing retularly with the fine turnouts of the other crab- inet officers.

According to Pliny, Lollia Pauline, the wife of Caligula, wore on her hands, arms, neck, head and Waist pearls and diamonds to the value of $1,680,000. Faustina had a ring worth $200,000, Domitia possessed one worth $300,000, and Cresonia had a bracelet worth $400,000. Seneca (tried out that one pearl would no longer do hr a lady, but she must insist en at least three for each shell-like ear,' The weight of these, it is hard to believe, could ever be endured by even the 'vain- est offair maids and matrons. Thlre were women in aracient Rome whose sole occupation was healing the torn ears of ladies whose ornaments had proved too heavy for the pretty lobes. Poppsea's earrings were worth $760,000, and Calpurnia, the wife of the mighty Julius Cmsar, had a pair valued at twice that sum. Later on the extravagance had not seemed to have died out. Marie de' Medici had a dress prepared for the baptism of her chil- dren, and when she attempted to wear the marvelous creation she found that it was ao heavy that she could not stand in it. It was trinnxied with 32,000 pearls and 3,000 diamonds. Men, however, excelled in costly ap- parel in the middle ages, and Philip the Good of Burgundy frequently wore jewelvalued at $200,000. When he walked along the streets, people climb- ed over each other to get a peep at him. The Duke of Bnokinghant once were at the court of St. James a costume cost- ing $400,000.

Wrong action of the heart causes nervousnessat er. vous dyspepsia, shortness of breath sod other dis- tressing symptoms. Mr. Samuel Yellana, of Lon- don, Ont., was cured of these troubles by taidng Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. Mr. Yelisnd ssys: " They are a remarkable medicine, and I have not been troubled in the least since taking them." Speaks from Experience. Mr. J. W. Tomlinson, lAmherstburg, On., speaks from experience when he sago "1 am well melded with Doan's Kidney Pills. They are undoubtedly the best medic:lee on the msrketlfor any one affitoted with urinary or kidney troubles, suet as pain in the back, tired feeling, cramps, numbness, ete. -They cured me an; removed all my psins and aches." --Advice's from Rainy River district stste thab the Rainy River is higher than it has been known for 30 years. Much of the low- lying lands along the river valley are flood- ed and nearly every dock washed away. The River Boom Company's boom broke on the llth with upwards of 7,000,000 feet of logs behind, which formed a jam a short distance below, logs, brushwood and good - wood being piled over twenty feet. -The annual meet of the National Rifle Association closed at Bisley, England, Sat- urday, 25th tilt. Canadian competitors se- cureefourth, sixth, eighth, and twenty- second prizes in the Queen's match, the most important contest for the meet. The Canadian team this year made on the whole a very good record, although_ handicapped by the fact that they had but little oppor- tunity to shoot with the new rifle, which British marksmen have been using for some time past, and with which' the largest num- ber of the matches were shot. -The rich strikes of gold in the Yukon country are causing a boom in that direction which promises to eclipse the Roseland boom, and already many pet -eons have gone to the Eldorado, where gold is said to be picked up. As a knowledge of the country is gained, however, it is seen that the hard- ships and privitions which have to be en- countered will be a serious drawback and will &ter many who would leave their own comfortable homes to, as they imagine, be- come wealthy in a day. • THE PHRENOLINE REMEDIES Taking the lead everywhere.
