How lie Tried To Bring Long sermon to
nCIosc.
During n recent journey in Canada
met with n striking instance of rca-
son In dog. was staying at tho
Mohawk Indian Institution, Brantford,
Ontario. Rev. X. Ashton, suporn-
tcndcnt Of the school, is also incumbent
of the neighboring Mohawk Church
(tho oldest Protestant church I'm Can
ada) Mr.. Ashton is very fond of ami,
mails, and has many pots. One of these,
black-and-tan terrier, always nc
companies the nincty-nino Indian
children to church on Sunday morn
ing. lie goes To the altar rails and
lies down facing the congregation.
When they rise TO sing he rises. and
when they sit down he lies down. Ono
day shortly before my visit, Il stranger
clergyman was preaching, and the scr-
mon was longer than usual. The dog
grew tired and restless, and at last u
thought occurred TO him, upon which
he at once acted. He had observed
that one Of the elder Indian boys was
accustomed to hand round the plato
for aims, after which the service Mt
once concluded lie evidently thought
that If he could persuade this boy to
take up the collection the sermon must
naturally end. He ran down to tho
back scat occupied by the boy, seated
himself in the aisle, and ga2cd stead
fastly in the boys face. Finding that
no notice was taken, he sat up and
begged pcrsistcntly for some time,
TO Mr.. Ashton's great amusement
Finally, rs this also failed, the dog put
his nose under the lads knee and tried
with all his strength to force him out
OF his place, continuing this at inter
walls till the sermon was concluded.
Did this not prove a distinct power OF
consecutive reasoningP- y

Important scarlet Fever Statistics,

The relation borne by scarlet fever to
the age and sex of the subject as well as to
the season of the year gave rise to an in
teresting discussion in the Chronological
Society of London last month. A detailed
analysis Of upwards of 5000 cases showed
that the liability to the disease "was
slight in infancy, reached its maximum in
the fourth or fifth year, and diminished
every year afterwards" So far as severity
of attack was concerned, however, it was
greatest during the first two years, and les
sened year by year thereafter. The death
rate reached its minimum in both sexes in
the third year of life "42 per cent of the
cases and 65 per cent. of the deaths oc-
Cured in the first five years of life" The
advantage of postponing an attack was a
double one, in that liability to it was di-
minished each year beyond the fifth, and
also that its severity was lessened by each
year Of postponement. 1t was estimated
that probably two-thirds of our adult pop
ulation had escaped attack altogether.
The significance of the above is exceed
ingly important for the consideration of
those, by no means few among us, who
consider lightly the exposure of their chill
dren to diseases that are considered the
inevitable portion of childhood. The facts
that 4 considerable percentage escape in
fection altogether, and that susceptibility
to attack and its severity decrease year by
year after the fifth, should stimulate us to
every caution the most intelligent care can
exercise to shield our little ones from this
disease, the results of which, when not
fatal, are often SO serious, distressing and
permanent-Bdbghood.

Cancer Among the yegetarians,

SurgeonMajor Henley, Resident Sur
seon at Jappore, writes to US: ain the
British Medical Journal of April Z, 1888,
the following statements are made: M.
Reclus has shown that cancer was all but
unknown among the persons whose food
was exclusively vegetable. NJ. Verneuil
also believed that the increase of cancer
was largely due to the carnivorous habits
of diet of the past generation The rec
ords of the Mayo Hospital at Jappore,
which is under my charge, show no i'm
munity of vegetarians from cancer. From
January, 1880, to the present date, 102
major operations have been performed in
cases of cancer Of these, Al were on the
persons of meat eaters and 81 on those of
strict vegetarians who had never eaten
neat since their birth. In India, where
caste rules are exceedingly rigid, the fact
that the latter were true vegetarians is Ca
pable of absolute proof Among them are
six Saraogis, class Of Jains who even re-
ject many kinds of vegetables. Three of
these Saraogis suffered from cancer of the
breast. Out of 102 cases there were three
deaths attributable to the operation.
There is no information available as to
recurrence, or the contrary. The cases
We're divided as follows Cancer of breast
20, tongue or lips 8, head and face II, up
per extremity II, lower extremity s, trunk
Is, testicle l, glands 8. There were 81
males and 40 females, a large proportion
Of the latter in country where the patr-
dah system is in force. The maximum age
was 20 years, the minimum Is years, the
average 43 years. British Medical Journal.

KENG THOMAS.
Strong Reasons 10 Doubt Tha; He Was
Sold for $4,000

Did yearling colt bring S3S, 5000 at an
auction sale?
And did Senator Hearst pay $4,000
next day for King Thomas?
Many people, and good horsemen, too,
think not The announcement has been
blazoned forth with great publicity, and
has not hitherto been openly discredlted,
and yet there is doubt whether a sale
was made at any such figures. There are
one thousand and one reasons why such
figures should be falsely recorded. II Sen
ator Hearst had bought the colt in the
first instance, even a tie figures named, 1t
might have been considered one of the &c
centricities of wealth. 4 man with an in
come Of $1,000 a day, even though he
takes his friends in the coal-cellar to
quench their thirst when his wife is Civ
ing reception, can afford to risk $4,000
on a running yearling. But why should
careful gamblers like Appleby and john
son, the book makers, hazard S3S, ,O00 on
such a questionable risk To be sure, by
an erroneous decision Of the judges, they
won next day at the race-track somewhere
between $40, 900 and 10000 by the univer-
sally derided verdict in favor of their
horse But they could not have counted
upon that with any degree of certainty
No one questioned the honesty of the
grossIy-mistaken judges, and even if they
were open to suspicion Appleby and john
son could not be sure in such field of
horses that Tristan's nose would touch Tea
Trays shoulder at the finish. Yet they
are supposed to have paid S38,O0O for an
nntried equinine baby, which Senator
Hearst took off their hands next day at
an advance of $1,000. What relation does
j. 3. Haggin, who sold King Thomas and
his sixty odd stable companions, bear to
Senator Hearst? He is his business asso-
ciate, and people who are aware of that
fact are doing heap OF thinking.-Phila-

English Butter-Making.

Miss Smithard delivered a lecture OH
this subject in Kirkby, Lonsdale, recently
The lecturer stated that he churniGg must
begin slowly at first. In few minutes the
churn was to be stopped to let out the air,
which, if allowed to remain, would affect
the cream and make it sleepy Tie time
for churning was about thirty-fve min
uses-certainly not over forty minutes.
After churning twenty minutes it was a
good plan to look at it. If it was broken
churn little slower When the batter
came they should take away every narti-
Gle of buttermilk The butter at thu, .taeo
would be in a granulated state. 1t ought
then to be washed with cold water, which
would surround each fat globule and take
away all impurities, as well as harden the
butter. Itwas well to wash in three sep
arate waters. If salt was required to be
added, mix it with a brine, and add it
with the water last used She was. how
ever, against any salt being used at all.
The butter was worth fourpence pound
more In London market, and that was a
consideration. The lecturer then gave a
few practical hints on the keeping and
feeding of cattle. In the first place, it
was imperative 10 keep the cattle clean
and give them good wholesome food and
water. 1t was disgrace to this country
that the foreigners should beat US in max
ing butter. The great fault was in its not
being uniform. The Normandy butter
averaged fifteen pence pound the year
round, and in London it was now selling
at from Is. Sd. to IS. pound Butter
without salt would keep six weeks, and
be perfectly fresh. If salt was used, about
one pound to every gallon of water should
be put in. Never allow finger to touch
the butter, as this caused it to turn rancid
The great secret of good butter was to pre-
serve the grain. 1t ought to have crum.
bly, appearance when taken from the churn

Breeding OF the Horns.

In commenting on the recent decision in
Scotch Court to the effect that dishorn-
ing cannot legally be regarded to be "cru-
city to animals the London Mark Lane
Express remarks: at would be folly to
attempt to refute on legal grounds the de-
liverance of So high professional author
ity as Lord Young. At the same time we
cannot affect to sympathise with his decis-
ion more than the practice which called it
forth. The disadvantages of horns on fat
tening stock are obvious and admitted, but
there are other ways and means of remov-
ing them than by deliberately applying
the saw. A very large and ever increas-
/! ing proportion of British cattle are horn
less; and it has been proved beyond the
shadow of doubt that no more effectual
remedy for horn trouble can be en-
ployed than the use of impressive Polled
sires. This practice is extending rapidly
over the northern counties Of England,
and well might our Scotch friends forego
the advanced American notions, and adopt
the more humane and desirable methods Of
breeding out the horns. They have
crossing materials in abundance, and nc
sympathy should be shown to the repre-.
hensible practice of inficting unnecessary
pain on dumb animals where such nigh,
so easily and so surely be avoided"
