The elongated panions for children, ais all the world knows. To the boys and girls a mut, tee the fancier tame a mougrel, ia usually as welcome a &um aa any Vere de Vere of canine breeds. Yet when opportuuity offers ehildren make good earetakers of thoroughbred dogs, and to enoourage a likieg among them for anhuals of pedi- gree or at least distinot type is one of the object e of tho kennel owners. At the c,ountry showrecently e. fea- ture has been made of variety dames, that is, for dog a of any breed, to be owned and exhibited in the ring by chil- dren. Dogs are often entered by children at the big city shows and they genie - times lead them in the ring, but there are tao many in the classes and elle judg- ing is so fast and businesslike that the ,youngsters are apt to flinch /min this atm*. The ohildree of a famous eatibitor of big dogs formed an exception to &le rule at the last Westminster show. A friend had brought them a couple of grey.hound puppies from England au.d the children, weth the &pent of their father, entered their peta in tho proper olass. Two of the children led the doge with pride aboutthe ring before the judges and their brothers and sisters, reen- *mired by half a dozen of their friende, ead pla,ces on the rails. The vigorous hand clapping asul the shrill cheers fol- lowing the placing of minor ribbons on the collass of the two greyhounds were a juvenile maaifestation of delight heard above all the barks and bustle of the show. But the children are faithful to their dogs at the city shows although they may not enter the ring. The benches on whieh the dogs are plated in their wire kennels are the resort of the young own- ers. Alike to bulldog and terrier, huge St. .Bernard and frisky Pomeranian, the com- ing of the juvenile owner in from f$ehool is the signal for a jeyou.s greeting. 'When the ehildren have to take leave of their emelt° chums they often leave behind them a glove, hendkerchief or some such article to break the pangs of parting. A puppy, of course will promptly tear the personal property into tatters, but an older dog will guard it carefully, and. such a posseasion is said to keep a dog from fretting. It ia in the open or about) the house- hold that children have most to do with dogs for the bench shows are only ince deneal happenings. Puppiea and young children alwaye get along finely together with thee toile of the assochution altoge- ther on the dog. In the country a St. Bernard or terrlel. pup ia often given to the children, with the knowledge that ;as it grows the dog will become a most truetworth,y guardian, at home and afield, and in the country such a guar- dian is worth having. • Such a dog is often told by the moth- er or tnurse to mind the baby. To an old and self-respecting dog this is not a congenial teak always, but it never rebels. The childelmes it usually as a doormat or a punching bag, mingling its thuds with endearing and j.oyoute talk. Tbie sort of thing makes the old dog weary, ,buit it 'sticks to the job. An old dog behaves to a child much ail it does to a puppy. A toddler unwatch- ed will fall joyfully against the tougheet looking of grange dogs, sure of kind treatm.ent or of toleration at leases A puppy receives the same consideration, although when teased too mu& the big dog may curb the forward youngster by an admonitory growl, just as a grown- up might correct a too familiar elalde It is well established that dogs recip- rocate the affection shown to them by all children. There seems to be a subtle und.erstanding or affinity between chil- dren and dogs that makes them true friends and comrades whatever may hap- pen. This companionship is quite differ- ent from the relations of dogs and adults. With adults the strongest alle,giauce is given to the master or mistress and lees loyalty is given to the subordinates of the farm, household or kennels. But there is nothing individual in a dog's regard for children; they keep a warm spot in their hearts for all the children know it. . Dogs that hunt by sight usually make tbe ter playmates for a child than those Saint follow a scent, for they are quicker and more_edaptable, while the latter are ,self-aanteined and stolid in play. Blood - dachshund is most companionable. Beagles and foxhounds are good dogs for children. 'The fighting itbilities of the foxhound are net generally known.. Wlube by education the gentlest of doge th iy will, when aroused in the chase, or in defence of a child, whip their weight in wildcats. Their quick siglreand epeea make deer- hounds, greyhounde and Russien wolf- hounds entertaining dogs for children in the country, for, as with all big dogs, the town palls on them, and they need room When put into harness these fleet doga draw a Small wagon at a rousing pace. Pointers, setters and field spaniels are companiouable and when trained are very trustworthy guardiaus. This is Mao true of the Dalmatians, better knewn as spotted coach dogs, which orig- inally were pointers in Spain. They are now used only as stable or house guar- dians. A working coach dog that would stay under a vehicle at the heels of the horses is practically unknown. A clasa for work- ing coach dogs recently at a Long Island show had but three entries. Ali the terriers are splendid &tune The white Scottish are a new fashion, and aro running a race in popularity with the older types. Both Skye and Yorkshire terriers, al- though seen at shows clad in excessively lotig coats, are game and lively dogs for children, when kept as workers and not trimmed up for the bench. Bull terriers are of a jealous disposition, and unless this is overcome they may make trouble for the children by mixing up with other doge that come along. Bulldogs, when not too bulky and phlegmatic, get along nicely with chil- dren. Boston terriers and French bull- dogspossess the sprightly, cheery ways misisng in their big cousins and they are admirable friends for the young- ders. Pons, toy terriers, toy spaniels and indeed all the pet dogs except pugs are well worth owning by largo children; but for small childien the small dogs are mostly too short tempered to be safe as companione. Expressed in another way, they are too fragile or tender to with- stand without reprisal the maulings of the juveniles. All dogs understand baby talk, but those of foreign birth have to learn Eng - Hell before they are the beat of chums with larger children. At the sheepdog trials in Wales the shepherds give their orders in Welsh, but on the borders of the Highlands the collies understand both Gaelic and English. Very recently a country family receiv- ed as a gift a Great Dane straight from Germany. Despite its strong bulk, com- pact head, glistening teeth, cropped ears and a suggestion of a panther in ethe lithe movements, the Great Dane wel- comed the pettings of the childreu and aceompanied them on their walks, but they had to guide it by tugs on the leash or by signs. The only person in the household who could order the dog about at first was the German maid, but in a few clays the children learned from her the German equivalents of the commands and they could then direct it by voice.' Within a month the dog understood orders in Eng- lish and would come at call and obey otter orders. The Newfoundland was formerly the favorite big dog as household or farm guardian, but it is not 'seen often now ie this country, although in England, where the breed has been kept up by scientific breeding, it is still met with frequently, and at the shows the classes are crowded, These dogs are believed in England to be a development from a common black dog, whether short coated, curly or shag- gy. Dor from the whaling shipswere the originals of the breed in Newfound- land, but the type has been distinct since about 1830. Wherever found in these days, no matter whether the pedigrees may be traced or not, the Newfoundlands and children front always 'a partnership that makes for good. Byron's Boatswain Nana a Newfoundland, and there is a monument to it at Newstead Abbey. ANOTHER DREAM. Dolly-Moely Wolcott told me a month ago that her new gown was going to be a dream.

Women all over the world are begin- ning to look upon 1907 as a red letter year for their sex. Their filet notable step ahead this year was the granting of Parliamentary suffrage to the women of Norway. nen Swedish women were made eligible for munieipal office; next eame the granting to the women of Den- mark of the right peyote for and serve as members of bards of public; char- ities, and now the British Parliament has just passed the bill making women eligible as town and county councillors and aldermen. In 1888 when the county couneils were instituted in England it was thought that women were eligible, and three - Lady Margaret Sandhurst, Miss Jane Cobden and Miss Cons -were electad by the voters of London. Beresford Hope, who had been defeated by Dady Sand- hurst, contested the election on the ground that women were not eligible. The litigation was prolonged and mean- while the women were allowed to serve. One of the duties assigned to Lady Send- hurst was the supetvision of twenty- three infant asylums. When Mr. Hope finally succeeded in ousting her one of the leading London dailies sarcastically remarked; "It is to be hoped that the gentleman will find himself equal to mothering all those babies."

There are unscrupulous dealers who for the sake of trifling gain are willing to sacrifice the health -perhaps the lives -of little ones. 'This is proved by the fact that there are a number of imita- tions of Baby's Own Tablets offered. The mother can protect her child by 'seeing that the full name Baby's Own Tablets and the fou-leavcd clover with child's head on each leaf, is found on the outside wrapper around every box. Do not take anything else as you may endanger your childts life. If you etneot get the genu- ine tablets from your dealer, send 25 cents to The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and get a box by mail post paid. SENTENCE SERMONS.

Most of the Genuine Specimens Found in the Province of Astrakhan. The collection of eye etones is a dying industry. In New York the principal sources of supply are sailors who touch the Baltic Sea, and, as might be inlet. ined, the supply is precarious. Eye stones are analogous in some re - vette to bezoars, as they are a conere- OM found in the stomach of the Euro- peen crawfish. Most of the famous eye atones, crab's eyes, crabstones or lapilli aimerorum, are procured in the province of Astrakhan in European Russia. There appears to be some confusion regarding the nature of the eye stone, for some authorities speak of it as a concretion in the stomach of a certain crab and others as of a peculiar shell formation which is Beparated from the arab at the time it sheds its shell. The so-called crab's eyes are found fully developed at the end of the Bum- pier as the crabs begin to shed their sbells, It is noted that these concre- tions are isbsorbed into the stomach of the crab during the shedding season and there pulverized and absorbed, the dis- solved calcareous substance being used, it is supposed, for the formation of a new shell. When these calcareous shells are not normally developed and ab- sorbed it is observed that the shedding process is interrupted and the crab dies an early death. -American Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record. • se - TRAITS OF MARSHALL FIELD. The intimate &erecter traits of the late Marshall Field are vividly sketched M tho March issue of System, by Harold Irwin Cleveland, Marshall Field, siva this writer, was mindful always of the tone of his establishment -of that air of reserve and refinement which impressed customers more than the merchandiee of- fered for sale. There are establislunents which permit their employees to dress as they pleese. The men may have on flashy neckties, the women appear in elbow sleeves, with garish rings and jingling bracelet's. But Mr. Field would not permit this. The accepted applicant for work if not modestly and quietly dressed mupt re- turn home a.nd dress as Field's desire. Tim point may seem a small one to the small businces man, but it is a vastly important one in showing on what sineht things great succeseee are built. This was not merely the result of strict rules; it came' also from precent. Mr. Field believed in tone; he breathed it; his personality threw it off. Always well groomed, he aaw to it that his em- ployees were the same. The clerks and department heads who remained with him tiny length of time uneonaciously aintorbed it. They grew into a deference of manner, a "wish -to -serve" attitude, that became second nature. The Field establishment began to de- velop along. bread lines beeituee its or- ganization and its ideals were coasistent with the new ideals of merchandizing of the Weet. This renaissauce of business, which began about 1893, woe marked by two principal oharaeteristics. The first was that people had a great- er buying power them ever before. Pros- perity had given limn the ability to satisfy their needs and oven their less important desires. More than that, a new spirit had grown up with this pros- perity. Ability to satisfy higher ideals had permitted, as it always does, the growth of a desire for excellence, for "tone," and for every quality that would please. This desire, which was satisfied along some lines by the opening of art galleries and music halls and the encour- agement of the fine arts in general, found its business eomplement in the eleveted t,one of retail merchaadizing. In the early yeara, the frontier deem, Field's sold such. plain and crude stuff as wa,s &Mended as readily as any other houae. Yet it went them one better in this; it foresaw that as the country set - tied, as bank miscounts increased, as poo. ple of an existing generation rested on their enrol and the children came up un- der easier conditions than the parente, Rumor is the echo of suepicion. Forced honesty never has any roots. Lots of people mistake their sighs for sympathy. 'rile lofty work often falls to the low- ly in spirit, • The greatest sermons are Hume out- side of sentenoes.

Whirlwinds of Fire. At times, when the upper atmosphere is charged with smoke•laden vapor, aud the iliac of dm sun, sharp and well de- fined, can be observed without amain - fort, a number of irregularly shaped black spote may be seen, some almost circular, sonie assuming fendful shapes -scorpions, animals, trees -or some like a flight of bitch or an archipelago 1. ca - lets. If these spots are e:samined through a telescope of moderate power they ap- pear to he great lents in the luluinuaa photosphere, cleft deep down into the interior, and surrouielea in many eases by a border of a sort of willow leaf pat- tern wheel occasionally shoots out pro• jectiona bridging over the dark cevity beneath (This extreme blacknese of the chasm is, however, only relative, for Sir W. Demirel proved that a brilliant jet of oxyhydrogen lime light projectee before a spot, itself appeared as a black flame, the black spot therefore being in, finitely brighter than the moat brilliant light we could produce.' • The size of some of these sun -chasms is prodigious, ranging up to a. comput- ed area of no less than twenty-five thee - sand million square miles. Our sartla rolled into this tremendous abyss, woeld be no larger, comparatively, than, for inetance, a small boulder in the wetter of a volcano, Observed with the aid of one of the modern giant telescopes these yawning gulfs are found to be eccoMpanied in some cases (perhaps invaria)ly) by ter- rible cyclones; roaring hurricanes of fire; spiral tornadoes of blazing Moan - descent gases, gyrating round and sound in throes and spasms of convulsive en- ergy, rotating wildfire; now an out- burst of vivid,•dazzlingtraiisplendency, a very whirlwind of swirling ilames; or now a fire -shaft of meterom splendor, pulsating from the glowing aide of the abysm half -way across the black gulf, where for a short time it remains, a palpitating and throbbing jet of fire. (This latter phenomenon &erne years ago caused a temporary disturbance of the telegraphs throughout the world. It was therefore probably a solar electric dis- turbance). And so the mighty turmoil goes on, day after day, until gradually the fiery photosphere of the sun assumes its normal conditions, and the gaping chasm, rent in its surface, at length dis- appears from view. And yet this stupendous orb is but one of untold myriads of similar suns, many of thew of a magnitude far exceeding our own sum, which ,compared with some of the giant of creation -as Sirius oe Areturus--ia but an insignificant, dini- inutive star. And yet the august Creator of all this serried array of mighty suns was content to leave for a time Ilia throne in the Heaven of heavens (for we are expressly told that the Almighty made the worlds by His Son) in order, by 'beeoming man's Substitute, and re - miring Himself the punishment due to Eternal Justice on His behalf, to open the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven to all who, notwithstanding their forfeiture, by sin, of all right of entry to that Kingdom, will aceept that propitiation. --By A Banker. 411011111.014.1 i40.1••••000•10000/10 731, 4.* PHYSICIANS SAID "DEATH," MINSTER SAID "LIFE."

Moving Pictures in Italy. Milan, the centre of Italy for the moving pieture machine teed's, has al- ready about forty such theatres. Every available hall is being turned into a moving picture ehow, while nearly ev- ery second and third rate theatre and "cafe &extant" finishee the evening's entertainment with a few cinematograph pictures. During tho dull summer sea- son even the larger theatres are used. Dramatic and tragic scenes, natural scenery of an interesting nature, and comical farces are sure to fill the hall at any time in Italy. The Italian loves to see living scenery; for instance, a moving picture view of Niagara, Falls was a huge success here a short time ago. The Italian also likes to see typi- cal scenes of national life such List for instance, bull fights in Spa!in and winter sports on the snow and ice in Switzer- land. Railway scenery is very acceptable as are views of large towns, Pictures of tho larger towns in the United States would be eshuge success in Milan. Oc- casionally typical scenes from American life have been thrown on the sheeting, such as cowboy life and train wreckers. The Italian is disgusted, if not already surfeited, with pictures of singing and dancing women; neither does he like fantistical scenery from fairy tales. • es SCIENCE BREVITIES.

THE PASTOR'S WORDS. "Mr. J. A. Galbraith ia a prominent member of my church, trusted by his neighbors and very eighly respected throughout the entire couneunity. His case eaS attraeted very considerable attention. the was a pitiable ease, in- deed; in the prime of life and with the brightest of prospects to be suddenly stricken down in the midst of it all. Visiting' him after hie physician had pronounced his case hopeless (end, in- deed, set the date at about which lie would likely pass away), and observ- ing pretty closely his condition, it oc- cured to me that Psyehine, which had used in my own family, with won- derful results, might benefit him. I strongly recommended it to him, and he began its use. The result was truly wonderful. Alumet iinmediately he be- gan to ininrove and soon was able to be out again. He apparently regained his old health and was able to take up once agajn his old duties on his large farm and to perform themewith comparative ease and comfort. The improvement was permanent, and he is to -day apparently just as Seen as ever. He gives all the credit for his recevery, under God, to Psyehine. "0. E. BURRELL, "Baptist Pastor." THE DRUGGIST'S WORDS. "I have read the statements made by Mr. J. A. Galbraith and Rev. C. Burrell regarding the results of the use of Psyehine. I know both gentlemen personally and can heartily endorse all that they have said. Mr. Galbraith obtained his supply of Psyehine at my drug store, saying from time to time that it had done him good. 'I took an interest in his case and noted a steady improvement. Altogether I sold him about $15.00 ivorth. Psythine is have Ing a big run here, and so far as I know is always used with beneficial results. "RALPH E. SCOTT, "Druggist. "Forest, May ist, 1907." H. J. Pettypieee, Esq., M. P.

I know his•case was considered hopelees by les physician and that something bed pulled him togeth- er. I have only just learned that it was Psyohine." On June 14th, 1907, Mr. Pettypiece writes; I saw Galbraith in town yesterday. He is looking the pink of health -says he never felt better, and that ho is doing Ws share of the work on the farm, instead of being under the sod, where, just one year ago, thedoctors told him he would be."

Stories of treasure trove, treasure is- lands, gold bugs and secret drawers and panels are not altogether confined to the imagination, as is proved by a re- cent experience of a resident of Tarry- town. Some years ago in the division of the estate of a relative the only thing by which the Tarrytown man was remem- bered was an unusually heavy antique mahogany desk, which in due time was transported to the house of the recipient and then passed from festive notice. In a leisure moment a few days ago the Tarrytown man began to examine the gift and found much to aemire in its substantial construction and fine hand carving. In the course of his examina- tion he came across not the mere trade tional single secret door, but several secret doors. What was still more to the purpose each drawer was filled, to the brim with English gold pieces of the largest denominations, and the mystery of the great weight of tho desk was solved. Nearly all the coins were of the value of five guineas, which gold piece, it may be explained, at a rough estimate, is equivalent to more than $20, and weighs considerably more than half again as much as an ordinary eilver dollar. The most recent of the gold pieces were of the period of George II. This King was represented by the five guinea piece in considerable numbers. Some of the pieces of this denomination of George II. &owed the word "Lima" under the bust on the obverse, which indicated that they had been struck from gold captured by English privateers from Lima, Peru. Under the bust of other five guinea pieces were the letters This is a faviired eountry be. \Mite .financial storms disturb nem,. neielillorm. and earthquakes!' kill or terrify inhere, the Canedien (mites aemirity, peace and proaperity.

It says: eThe mistake he has made, in our judgment, in most of his speeches this summer, is that of stir- ring up excitement where he should have left it to Quiset down. No sensi- ble man asked hieg to retract any- thing. It was not ileeessary- to- 'an- nounce any change of policy. That the President would enforce the law should have been taker for granted. There was, in fact, no 'call for all the vociferation. A dignified reticence would, have been much better for all con- cerned."

C.," for the East India Company, which mark indicated that the gold had been sent to the English mint by this company. There were five -guinea pieces Qf George I. The distinguishable mark on these coins was the figure of an elephant or of an elephant and castle, to show that the gold had been imported from the district of Guinea in West Africa, from which fact the term "guinea" is derived. Good Queen Anne was also repro. seated by five guinea pieces. Thia es - thimble lady reigned from 1702 to 1714, and the gold coins of 1703 show the word "Vigo" under the Queen's bust. This word was used to commemorate the cap- ture of several Spanish galleons by the combined English and Dutoh fleets in the latter part of 1702 in Vigo Bay, and the gold taken upon this occasion was used in these coins. There were several of the large gold coins of William III. Tho oldest of the coins found in the desk were the hand- some five guinea pieces of William and Mary, which showed on the obverse the busts of the King and Queen. All of the coins had been circulated, but were still in very fine condition, and of the 160 large gold pieces contained in the secret receptacle many had an ex- cess value on account of their interest to colleotors.-N.
