BLUE FLOODED DOGS.
Important setters of an Almost Fabulous
 Value.
lWilming on News[

Whining on NewsI
 Within the past half dozen year there has grown up among sporting men and gentlemen oi leisure strange faa. cy for imported or blue blooded setter dogs. There are many of the improved species in the kennels of Wilmington gentlemen. The maj )rity of tue import ed dogs come from the extensive ken nels of Sir Percival Llewellin, member of the British peerage, who has acquired fame and fortune by devoting his atten- tion exclusively to the improvement in the breed of setter dogs. The animals are brought directly to this country, generally to New York, in some cases to Philadelphia, and there purchased through agents by sportsmen. The prices paid, in many cases, are astonish- ingly large, ranging in few known in stances as high as $2,000 for single setter. $l,000, however, is consider ed high figure, the latter sum, it is said, having been paid by gentleman in this city for a noble specimen of the bluest blood. The imported dogs have many points ofsuperiorits over the na- tive animals, differing as much from each other as the trained racer from the country road horse. Blue blood is strong and fleet of limb, has long. fine hair, with tendency to creep at the ends, well colored, whatever that means, and is warranted to watch his game rain or shine, twice as long as the na- tive specimen. There are at least half dozen imported setters in the posses sion of parties in this city, each oi which cost over $300. The best known man in the United States in this line is Rene" Martin, the dog trainer. Mar tin was formerly butcher, but the in- stinct born within him was too strong and he quickly drifted into his natural sphere. As tralner of setter dogs, his charges, varying from $l00 to $200, are q little extravaganJ, but the owner of the pup can rest assured that when he grad uates from Martins careful and pains taking hands he is accomplished in the highest degree. Martins plan is simple. As soon as the gunnlng season opens he takes his dogs to some secluded hunting ground in the South. There he estab- fishes himself and his pupils. Every day he hunts, going out early in the morning and returning only after dark. At the end of the season his dogs have completed tberr education.

OLD FASHIONED SUNDAYS.
What They Used to be In PuritanicaI
 Come ctIcut.
Hartford (conn.) Courant.

The prevailing usages in respect of an observance of the Lords day by Chris tain people exhibit wide variation from those which were in vogue in times which the oldest people remember. In olden times there were two services in the sanctuary on.the Sabbath, one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon, a brief recess dividing the two, and no oth- CT services were held as rule. The oldest Sunday school in this country is said to have been established since the year 1906, and Bible classes and prayer meetings are of no greater antiquity. During the week preceding the regular administration of the Lords Supper a preparatory lecture was preached, but other weekly lectures or religious exer- cises were exceptionally infrequent. New England was then inhabited by farmers, and each parish contained a widely scattered population, with few facilities for frequent assemblies. Tke | S ibbath gave them rest and society. The meeting house precincts afforded kind of "exchange" for the neighbors, who, before and between and after the meet | ing" discussed their crops, stock, poli- ties. and whatever there was of news, while the women folks stroye in vain O get through with the weekly accumu- lation of gossip and chitchat. The boys nd girls had high old times on the sly

curiously enough, called 1t dumb read- ing-those sticklers for the word of God. It is not twenty ears since, in one of the prominent Congregational churches of Hartford. the reading of Scripture was confined to the forenoon service. The Hong prayer" was terror to the young 1t must have been suffered by adults as a convenient kind of penance. What weariness, too, it's interminable
 nasal monotone! Then came, at long in- tervals, the communion season, after the
 second service, when most of the men and some of the women and all of the children would go sadly out leaving the elect to their solemn feast. Tender scenes we have witnessed at such times in the rude old sanctuaries; scenes never to be forgotten while memory lasts. The pastors fearful cheeks and faltering ac.
 cents, the solemn silence in which the holy embers were received, the weird, quaint music of the old minor tunes sung without instrumental accompani-
 ment and by thin and quivering voices With mute wonder and often uncontrol- labie emotion, the boy at his mothers
 sids would watch the ceremony, die corning it only as great ans nesssy nesss5yT and tender sacrament of divine love that
 could nssssAe iIis mother weep for joy and
 even melt the awful clergy man down in-
 to a lovable human.
 Far from the men and women of those
 days was the modern notion that lay
 men are especially competent to impart biblical instruction, and the modern
 usage which relieves the clergy from
 almost all responsibility for the working of the machinery for the religious edu- cation of the children. No ruder shock
 can well be conceived than that which
 would be experienced by sundry of the
 good forefathers, could they suddenly
 revisit the regions they once inhabited, and especially the sanctuaries wherein
 they formerly worshiped What with "slips" for the old pews, preaching rails
 and desks for inaccessible pulpits over- hung with sounding boards; stained glass, steam heat, carpets, organs, chants
 and other popish ceremonies, heads
 bowed in prayer, and no chance to
 swap horses" between services, they
 would be miserable indeed, and aghast
 with horror at our improvements
 How much are we advanced, after all?
 Men talk of great decorum, reverence
 and so on, but we cannot forget that tEe
 Sabbath day of our boyhood had sim.
 plicity and sacredness that atoned for it's
 occasional seventies, and certain possi-
 bilities of stealthy, honest fun for bright
 boys and girls such as the gradual de
 sanctiication of the day and the decor
 um of modern worship utterly forbid.

WONDERFUL VITALITY.
A Young Lady with Two Hundred Sho and Pieces of Corset in Her Body
 Still Alive.
New York Herald.


 There is at present every prospect of the recovery of Miss Melinda T. Jaco- bus, who was shot by her lover at Peru, NJ, on the 25th of October last. It will be remembered that John H. Wolfe, young man fromJersey City, who had for some time been paying attentions to Miss Jacobus, called on her on that day and playfully pointed gun at her. She told him it was loaded, but he did not heed the warning, and the gun went of, lodging large charge of shot in the right side of Miss Jacobus. The physi- clans who were summoned pronounced the case necessarily fatal, and did not even think that Miss Jacobus would finger more than an hour or two. In stead of that she is still alive, and the case is attracting considerable attention among the medical fraternity of New Jersey. The wound was about nine inches in diameter, but the greater DOT tion of this was made by the powder and stray shot. The orifce was two and a half inches long and two inches wIde. The tenth and eleventh ribs were frac tured, and portions of the bone carried into the body. The lung was perfora- ted, the full charge striking the lower portion of it and lacerating it terribly Besides the bones of the ribs portions of the clothing and corset-a part of the whalebone Of the latter-were shot into the body, and, it is the opinion of the physicians, clear through the lung. The gun was loaded with charge of 230 duck shot. There have been taken out of the wound twenty-six shot, so that still about two hundred remain. None of the Dieces of dress or whalehone have yet protruded. For few days after the shooting the wound discharged air from the lungs, which issued with gurgling noise, but this has ceased and the young lady is apparently doing we'll No signs of pyemia have set in and the wound is gradually closing up. The dead flesh is sloughing of and the young lady's strength is aiding the healing consider ably At first Wolfe visited Miss Jaco- bus and insisted on her promising to marry him, but she became so excited that the physicians prohibited her see- ing him again.

 A new mechanical toy. which is a fitting companion to the famous jubilee cl' 2 dancers. is called the ball and nal let game. It is simply a little stuffed bcy playing at the old fashioned "Dutch billiards" He stands at the bottom of an inclined plane with mallet. When a marble rolls and hits the mallet, the mallet moved by clockwork, draws back, gives the marble a rap and drives it up the inclined plane toward hole just large enough to let the marble through. Perhaps it drops in and per haps not; oftener not If it doesen't it rolls back and gets another rap. If it drops ito the hole. it releases another marble at the side of the board and thus the game goes on. A jubilee monkey dancer, also new, looks just as though it had escaped from some organ grinder. A doll that walks" i e, rolls and talks" i. e., squeaks "papa" and mann ma" in childish treble, is very popular ard expensive. An automatic walking match and an automatic bicycle race, where the figures actually pass and re- pass each other, are also new inven tions.
 In the largest toy shop in the city, on Broadway, near Canal street, Oscar Stras- burger X Go. exhibit foreign toys of new construction. Among these are life size lambs which bleat; an elephant two feet high, which trumpets and angrily raises its trunk; hfe-sized rabbits, which paw a wheel and set it revolving, aud lion a foot long which, being wound up, jumps around on the floor and opens its mouth in an alarming way. But the most com plete toy is a large peacock which turns it's head from side to side, struts along with comically dignifed air, and then spreads it's tail in the most life-like man. ner

We retrace our steps and go up out of the cave into the somber light of the valley. Tombs of the Judges" and tombs of "Proph- ets," old and new, surround our steps. There are tombs on every side. Indeed, we begin to find the place populous with others beside the dead. There are wa ters flowing here, and some green re- suits appear OldssArabs in striped man. ties appear also with antiques to sell in the shape of csins in the time of Titus, and pottery in the age of Herod. We buy much doubtfully. for ever so little. Now we are under the southeast corner of the Temple plateau. How finely the battlements stand. This is, indeed, Je- rusalem, and fills every expectation From the village opposite comes the sound of rude flute and the jabber of multitudes. The hills opposite are ter raced and tenanted to their tops. In the valley below are some olives, some cab bages and cowl A few carouba trees and many caves; few vegetable plots and many donkeys.

HELEN WILLIAMS: Self-sacrifice is not the road to the true life. My fiowe, cannot be developed by turning back on itself It must push forward in obedience to its native intuition, sending it's little hopes abroad and gathering from all in fluences that which will build it in beauty and fragrance; always keeping true to it's own needs; appropriatino that which belongs to it--that which to leave unappropriated would be wasted; since to no organized thing in the universe can come auRht but it's own, the refusal is salfsacrifice.

ONE of the strangest things in walking through crowded city is the abstract look some people have. Their bodies may be hurring along, but their minds are either sound asleep or gone a-wan- dering. They pay not the slightest re- gard to anyone or anything, and only escape being run over by the law that apparently protects incapables as well as drunkards and children. Others again carry on audible conversation, gesticulate, smile or laugh, and are as oblivious of that fact that they are in a public thoroughfare as if they were walking in their sleep. There are mum berless Miss Elites in the world who have not even the excuse of a "cause on the brain," and who jostle and are iostled in crowd without any apparant recognition of the spectacle they pre- sent.
