CERTAIN considerations have gone far to-
wards preiulicine many fair minded per-
sons against the proposition to extend the
time io' paying tho tax on whiskey in
bond. First, there is the opposition TO
Hhisksy whenever and wherever it turns
up; secondly, there is the oft.repcated
aecuntion that the whiskey men havo used
money 10 influence Congressman; and,
finally, nobody has yet assigned a good
reason why this interest shall be singled
on! iot specia! iayors. &
The manufacture OF whiskey being law
lul, the product ought 10 bD fairly dealt by,
wherever that may lead. The distillers
have fallen into pit Of their own digging;
as business men they should have been
careful not to pile up their product beyond
all hope Of present demand. But like mis-
taSsssre made by other business men, and
there is no reason why distillers mere than
others aiiall bepunished for their mistakes.

Training a Shepherd Dog.

II you should visit Central Park some
fine morning you might see Young Shep,
the collie that is being trained to take
the place of old Shep, the eighteen
year-old veteran, at his lessons. He is
never whipped, not even when he does
wrong or makes mistakes, because that
breaks the spirit OF collie, as, indeed,
of any other kind of dog, and a shep-
herd dog must Of all things be brave.
When he doesn't carry out an order
correctly, or in such a way that the
sheep can understand him, old Shep is
sent with the same order and Shep
Junior is made to keep still and watch
him until it is executed. His first les
son is simply to guard hat or coat
or stick thrown upon the grass by the
shepherd, and he is left out with it
sometimes until late in the evening to
show him the Importance of fidelity,
the very first essential in a shepherd
dog. Next he is taught to gather the
sheep, to take them to the right, then
TO the left. After this he is sent on the
trail of lost sheep, with instructions
to bring it back slowly. The most i'm
portant lesson, and one young Shep
has not yet learned, is that Of 60
ing among the flock, and finding out
II any of them are missing. This, as
may be imagined, is by no means an
easy task with a flock of eighty-two
ewes and sixty-nine lambs. But old
Shep can do 1t. for he knows every
member Of the flock, though to the
ordinary observer they all look almost
exactly alike. Indeed, old Shep can,
II his master, the shepherd, is not mis-
taken, perform feat more wonderful
than this. The shepherd says that
Shep, when uncertain whether some OF
the flock have not strayed up the
bridle-path on their way home, while
he was busy in keeping troublesome
boys away, will take his stand at the
gate of the fold and touch each sheep
with his fore-paw as it passes in. At
such times he has the air Of farmer
counting his cattle as they come home
right, and he wears an expression
as il his mind were occupied with an
intricate sum in addition. Whether he
Is really counting the sheep or not can
not be said positively; but he has been
known, after noting each sheep as ii
passed, to rush off up the bridle-path
and return with straggler. This does
much TO prove that the shepherds as
Bertion thai old Shep can count the
sheep is possibly NOT far from the
truth.-Frdnklin H. North, in 81, Mich

"Turbinate" Bones.

II you examine the skull Of dog OF
Gator, better, that of O horse, OK or
sheep, the nose-bones of which are open
in front you will see inside some long
paper-like or lace-like bones rolled up
In scrolls, as sheet Of paper might be
rolled. These are the ''turbinate"
bones, on which the nerves Of smell are
spread out. What an immense surface
Is thus made for these nerves, as com
pared with the small turbinate bones in
man, which are little, narrow, curved
shelves on each side of the upper in
terror Of the nose. No wonder that a
lost dog can snuff his masters footsteps
and follow them through street where
many feet have been treading. Seals
and otters have wonderful turbinate
bones filling their noses, but this may
be in part to warm the air which they
breath in very cold climates.--Congre-

Character OF the Democratic Canvass.

There is q feeling among the Inde-
pendent Democratic journals that some,
how the political campaign is off on a
side-track. and that Governor Cleve.
lands letter "will bring the canvass
back to its real character. Certainly,
it is not on the line originally marked
out by the Independents. They pro-
posed to make it ga question or morals
rather than of politics" and they ig-
nored all such matters as questions OF
finance. Civil-service reform and the
like. They simply went for Blaine's
moral character. A number Of Buffalo
clergymen applauded the suggestion OF
the Independents that tho issue should
be moral rather than political, and they
contributed some interesting facts
worthy of prominence in museum Of
morals, regarding the Democratic can.
didate. Long ago 1t was said there is
no use trying to satisfy an Independent.
When the moral issue was accepted,
the Independents became unhappy, and
now they clamor for a campaign OF a
different character "The questions OF
tax reduction and Civil-service REFORM"
says the Boston Herald, "are OF the first
Importance.
There is no doubt whatever OF tho
grave Importance of questions Of tariff,
civil-service reform, financial lcgisla-
ton and the like. Governor Cleveland
evidently has no convictions upon these
sub iects-though il must be expected
that Professor Perry vouches for the
free-trade sentiments Of the Democratic
candidate. What views can he have as
TO the currency-a man whose whole
way of life has been against the ac-
quirement of any practical knowledge
Of governmental affairs? What can he
know of a National banking system
which he has never been brought TO
studyp The essential fact is that Cleve-
land Is q Democrat and in Office he
would be guided entirely by Democrat
10 leaders. What their views OF civil
service reform are the country knows
well and the retired Pendleton adver-
tises. What the Democratic financial
views may be at any time no one can
say-the record shows Democratic
caucus denouncing the Resumption act.
What the Democratic tariff policy
would be, Watterson, Carlisle, Morrison
all the successful majority in the
House have declared by their speeches
Cleveland can not "bring the canvass
back TO its real character" II by that Is
meant discussion of his convictions,
for he has none. The Democratic atti-
tude upon the political questions re.
ferred TO the world knows, in spite oI
vague resolutions and a vague letter
from the candidate. e.-Mii,oauEee Scntt
