uQUE WAR RECORD OF DUG.
Once Owned by Botha and Followed
i Irish Troops in Boer War—
| Was Given Medal.
:
Unusual interest centered in a case
Beard in the Dublin poliee court, in
which the leading figure was a bull-
dog that formerly belonged to Gen.
Philip Botha and went through a good
portion of the South African war, says
the London Telegraph. Ernest Warm-
Ington, canteen manager for the con-
tractors, was summoned for cruelty to
the animal, which has been stationed
for some time past with the Royal
Irish Rifles at Richmond barracks.
The bulldog, which now belongs to
Color Sergeant Edwards, Royal Irish
Rifles, was accommodated with a seat
in the witness box, from which point
he seemed to take a languid interest in
the proceedings. He was dressed in a
coat with gre~n facings, and wore sev-
eral South African medals with clasps.
The animal’s record is an eventful one.
During the Boer war he was captured
by the Second Royal (frish Rifles,
mounted infantry, from Commandant
Philip Botha's farm in the Doornberg,
in September, 1900.
FFrom that time until the end of
the war he trekked with the Rifles’
mounted force from Griqualand in the
west to Basutoland in the east, and he
still bears the scar of a wound received
in action. Later he was with Gen.
¥rench’s column in Cape Colony. For
nis services the bulldog now wears the
queen's South African medal with two
clasps. Mr. Drury remarked, when the
ease was called, that this was the most
distinguished dog in the country, as
he had medals.
THE CAT OBJECTED.
‘Accidentally Imprisoned in a Vacant
| House—Released After Conslder~
i able Official Red Tape.
: French official redtapeism led to an
amusing scene recently in a provincial
town, says Gollen Penny. An old man
having died, the Judge de Paix for-
mally sealed up the house till the heirs
should take possession, in accordance
with Gallic law. But the neighbors
were soon disturbed by the most
frightful noises and “meeowings,” and
found that the house cat had been
gezled up inside with the rest of the
fead man’s property, and, as the judge
had done his work most conscien-
tiously, not a single exit remained for
poor puss.
The neighbors dared not break the
seals to let puss out. so, after some
days, applied to the nearest magis-
trate. He was equally powerless, and
@ formal petition had to be handed in
to the president of the civil trihunal-
for legal authorization to open & sin-
gle crack in the building. Then the
Judge de Paix and his official sol-
emnly proceeded to the house, and
formally broke the seals, with the re-
sult of liberating a very starved cat.
swhich, being exceedingly wild and
spiteful from its long imprisonment,
ungratefully flew at the unlucky judge
ws he opened the door.
{ EDUCATION IN ENGLAND.
London Journal Says It Is the Worst
of Any Highly-Civilized
County,
i
1
Whatever the explanation may be,
: is unfortunately a contempt for
jeducation throughout all classes in this
pouniry. Naturally, therefore, our edu-
i= the worst of any highly-civil-
country, says the London Statist.
And because it is so we are gradually
Josing ground and our competitors are
forging ahead of us. We are losing
l|ground, not alone in trade and manufac-
tures, but in every department of life.
Our whole government system is ineffi-
clent to a surprising degree. What our
army is we saw in South Africa. What
jour administrative departments are we
have had of late several disconcerting
illustrations.
i If, then, we are to recover our old
place in the world it is in the highest de-
gree desirable that we should reform
our system of education and supply all
classes from the highest to the lowest
with a real and scientific mental train.
ing. In order to oppose logically Mr.
Chamberlain's proposals there is neo
need to deny that this country does not
hold now the position of preeminence
which it held formerly. Indeed, we ven-
ture to think that reasonable and
thoughtful mén like Lord Rosebery
rather injure the cause they have at
heart than promote it by making such

FREAK COINS HAVE GONE.
Few of Those Issued by the Goverm«
ment for Special Purposes
Now Remain.
Ilecent mention of the disappearance
of the $2.50 gold piece from circulation
and the premium this coin commands as
3 curio have set many to rummaging in
old pocketbooks and the bottom of cash
boxes and drawers in search of odd or out
of date coins. Some have found a two
dollar piece, but not many, says the Port-
land Oregonian. The two dollar piece,
once quite common, but always a sort of
curiosity, is oftengr found, and many
have specimens of the little gold coins
representing 25 and 50 cents, which were
not minted by the general government
and probably have not so much gold in
them as they represent. They used to |
pass as coin, but were never in general
circulation, being so easily lost that they
soon became scarce,
One of the handsomest coin relics
seen is a $10 gold piece bearing the mint
stamp of 1799. It islarger tnanthe pres-
ent $10 gold piece. The owner has it
hung in a band and wears it as a charm
on his watch chain. The owner says he
refused an offer of $150 for this relic.
The old octagonal $50 pieces were quite
common in California in early days,
#hen gold dust was largely used as a
circulating medium. They were made
of pure gold, and while they had not
the elegant finish of the gold coins mint-
ed by the government in those days,
many still remember them as the hand-
somest coin they ever saw. Many people
now would consider them handsome on
account of the $50 in them.
TELLS HOW TO TAME LIONS.
Danish Woman Has New Theory
About Controlling Wild Animals
—Her Sensational Feat.
The terrible tragedy which was en-
acted in a lion’s den near Berlin has re-
vived the question as to whether a lion
tamer can ever hope to die a natural
death.
At the present time Miss Ella, a Danish
woman lion tamer, is giving a sensa-
tional exhibition at the Royal Music hall,
Holborn, with seven African lions, says
a London dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
She concludes her performance by
throwing away her whip, lying down on
the stage, and putting her head and arm
in the mouth of the large African lion.
Siegfried, who killed a keeper ‘in the
Vienna zoological gardens four years
gO.
In an interview Miss Ella sald she was
not at all nervous in the den, and had
handled wild beasts since she was eight
years old.
“Nearly all accidents which happen
to tamers,” said this daring young wo-
man, “are caused by forcing lions to do
tricks against their will, instead of let-
ting them rest until they get into a good
temper, but fatal accidents are very rare.
“It is an old belief,” added the lady
tamer, “that it is necessary to look wild
animals straight in the eyes, but this is
a great mistake, as it makes the lions
savage. I always turn my back on them,
and have no fear of their turning on me.”
Marvelous Exploit of a Picture Deal.
er in Munich—Used Dictionary,
But No Grammar,
The following notice, says the London
Outlook, appears in the shop wizdow of
a picture dealer in Munich:
“The exhibition of the paintings,
which no every exception, whose alone
property, and the possession of about
40,000 No. stitch of Kooper, cut of wood,
art of shave liefes, colour printings, era~
sures, and ca. 6000 Portraits, also 10,000
sketshes in hand. Aquarelles of ger-
man, english, dutch, belgian, italian
and french masters of the latest four
centuries. Also an collection of minia-
tures and many old books. Whiches

sion J. Gernert, Bavariaring 30-1 and
Karlsplatz 20-1 Munich. Catalogue of
the collection is to preparation, and
send t..¢, catalogues every Patron which
to give his strict address.”
This, says the correspondent who
kindly sends us the foregoing, rather
emphasizes an experience of my own
in Munich, where a shopkeeper, trying
in English to excuse himself for not
baving in stoek an appliance I needed,
said: “I have not; [ am very disagree
eDlv.”
“The poor have exceedingly warm af-
fections, and are easily guided by them.
On one occasion,” says a woman philan-
thropist, in Everybody's Magazine.
“When I had argued for an hour with a
quarreling husband and wife, without
bringing reconciliation any nearer, 1
said: “Well, you must go your own
way, but you are simply breaking my
heart with your foolishness.” I believe
my voice trembled, or I was tired and
discouraged. The man and the woman
looked at each other, and they the wom-
an sald:
“ ‘Indeed, miss, we didn't know we
were hurting you—we wouldn't do that
fop Worlds. John and me, and if it will
make you happier, we’ll try again.”
! s for their goodness to each other,
ft 18 beyond all praise. The nights
spent in watching sick neighbors,
though no rest can be looked for on the
day that follows—the meals shared—
‘the nameless unremembered acts of
kindness and of love’—one has to live
among them to realize these.”

The uniform success of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has
won for it a wide reputation and many
people throughout the country will agree
with Mr. Chas. W. Mattison, of Milford,
Va., who says:
is the hest preparation I know of. It
couldn't be any better.” He had a serious
| attack of dysentery and was advised to try
a bottle of this remedy, which he did; with

July, August and September are unen-

after night as midnight comes the ther-
mometer shows 100 degrees. By seven

It is stated by veracious travelers
that 75,000 Arabs inhabit the Aval group,
fully 25,000 living on Bahrein, in which

DEER AND SLEEP.
foresters Say Animals Sledb About
Five Hours in Daytime-Not
at All at Night.
Deer reverse the apparent order of na~
ture, for they sleep in the daytime and
feed at night, says the Scottish Field.
How much sleep they do take is a mat-
ter of contention, even ambdng experi-
enced stalkers—some say little, others
much. On the whole, we are inclined
to agree with the former, for it has
to be remembered that they chew the
cud when lying down. Two most expe-
rienced and observant foresters, the one
in Argyllshire, the other in Aberdeen-
shire, thus gave their opinions: “Deer
sleep or rest from about ten or eleven a.
m. to four p. m.;” “Deer sleep from
noon to five p. m.”
It is not uncommon occurrence to
come on deer asleep; a stalker in the
Black mount had the rare experience of
coming upon a parcel of seven stags, all
sound asleep. A herd was seen to move
in Glenfeshie, but one stag remained be-
hind, lying motionless. On a careful ap-
proach he was found to be asleep. Per-
hays, however, the oddest occurrence of
this nature happened in Braemore, when
a stalking party, on going up to the
stag which had just been shot found a
three-year-old elose to it fast asleep. Ir
fact, it is by no means rare to get within
» yard or two of a sleeping deer.
MRS. PYMACHER’S PIE.
Here’s an Idyll of the New York Stoek
Exchange — Speculators Appre-
ciated Toothsome Dainty.
Pymacher was a telegrapher em-
ployed by the stock exchange firm in
which John W. Gates is a special part-
ner, says Everybody's Magazine. Py-
macher brought for his lunch a noble
ple, a composition of Mrs. Pymacher’s.
The manager of the office tasted that
pie, found it good, and gobbled it. Such
are the notions of property in the street.
“Is there any more where that came
from?” asked the manager, a man of
delicate tooth. “There is more,” said
Pymacher, “and better, if possible.”
“It is not possible,” said the manager.
He told all the Chicago capitalists, who
came to that office. He made their
mouths water. The next day Pymacher
brought in a lemon pie, an iridescent
dream, a tender flower. Half a dozen
millionaires ate of it, with tears of joy
and thanksgiving. “What shall we do
for Mrs. Pymacher? Shall we build her
a monument?’ “Buy her a hundred
shares of Northern Pacific,” says Gates.
So they bought her 100 shares at 11314.
sold it at 135. The next day came the
corner, and a share of Northern Pacifie
was worth $1,000. But Mr. Gates had
showed his eagerness to reward a su-
preme artist. If old Rembrandt were
alive “the Gates crowd” would “let him
In” on the best thing it had.
