WHAT IT CAN DO.

A single pain is often the first indication
md the last throe, in one, of a physical
climax, and the climax IS death. That st.
Jacobs Oil has again and again wrought its
miracles just in the nick of time, has bridged
over the critical emergency and has
Saved Many Lives
at the point of death, is fully attested by the
record of many extraordinary cures in which
this fact of saving life is duly set forth.
If to its remarkable virtues in the perma-
nent cure of chronic cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Lumbago Scatica, after years of
endurance wherein everything else proved
valueless fortunes were spent III vain and
crutches and crippled limbs were the mani
festations, is to be added its supreme sover-
eighty over pain, even unto death, it is wholly
entitled to the appellation of
The Conqueror of Pain.
Its specific action is especially adapted
with curative penetration and soothing
effect to arrest any pain at the acme of Its
worst influence. st. Jacobs Oil applied en-
terndtly is now known as the best specific
to arrest the fatal tendency of aEy aggra-
waited pain.

COMPANY AS RECEPTION.

DOGS AND THEIR WAYS.
Little Peculiarities of the Newfoundland
and st. BERNARD Breeds.

Little Peculiarities of the Newfoundland
and st. BERNARD Breeds.
"Give us an article on dogs" writes
a correspondent.
A dog collar is an article on dogs; 50
is flea; which will you have?
The dog is called the friend of man,
and it is true that he is frequently seen
running after him, particularly when
the man is a trespasser or the dog is
mad.
There are many kinds of dogs.
The Newfoundland dog seems born
with an instinct for saving children
from drowning. 1t will hang around
mill-pond for days at time watch
ing for an opportunity to win medal
from the Humane Society. If no such
opportunity occurs it becomes very
melancholy and seems impelled to ask
if life is worth living.
A friend of ours imported New
foundland dog to look out for his chill.
dren, as his residence was near a pond
of water. Every few days the faithful
animal would come bounding towards
the house, dragging a dripping child
by his teeth, that he had saved from a
watery grave. Then the dog wo1ld
be petted by the family, and Toasted
and made much of. Yet it didn't seem
to make him proud He looked as
calm and Indifferent as if saving
child from drowning was one of the
most ordinary events of his life
scarcely worth speaking of-nothing
at all, in fact, to what he had done in
the old country, whore he had often
rescued two or three whole families
before breakfast.
But this thing of bringing home
drenched children got to be rather too
frequent not to excite suspicion, and a
watch was set on the devoted friend OF
man and children. 1t was discovered
that he had habit of pushing child
into the water, when favorable OPP
portunity offered, and then plunginS
in with ostentatious zeal to rescue it.
The Newfoundland dog was promptly
discharged, without accommodation
The st. Bernard dog is a hotel run
ner for hostelrie way up among the
Alps. He finds travellers who are
laundering around in the snow too
bcwildered to remember what hotel
their cooks ticket directs them to put
up at, and runs them into the st.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS.
a Few Illustrations of the Importance OF
Little Things.

The entire universe is composed Of
little things. All substances, all mat
ter, in whatever form or condition, is
an aggregation of atoms or molecules.
Absolute perfection is rarely attaina-
bic, as defect in a single atom is
likely to affect the whole combination.
A bridge is no stronger than its
weakest point A machine or imple-
ment may be ever so perfect, with q
single exception, and that exception
may prevent the use of all the balance.
How often do we find it the case that
the neglect of some little moment, has
turned the tide towards failure when
success was in sight.
Manufacturers often become 50 alb
sorbed in some vital principal, that
they neglect details, little points arc
overlooked, and when dependence is
placed on these, they fail, and the
whole work is condemned as a conse-
quence. A recent invitation to inspect
the working of a new machine was II
disappointment simply because tho
manufacturer had neglected to send
a single bolt, and loss of time and dis
appointment to the party needing the
machine was the result. An article
for household use, but little liable to
get out of order, but requiring a wrench
to remove certain parts when it be-
came necessity, was thrown out be-
tho ,toolneu In, chic
case every part was carefully made
and fitted, and of good material, but it
required wrench of special form to
adjust certain parts in case of failure
to work properly. Although the arti-
Gle was an expensive one, the wrench
was a common cast iron affair, with
jaws beveled and unfinished, except
for the supertluOus japan with which
it was coated to hide its imperfections.
1t would have been next to useless
even had it fitted, as it had net suffi-
Gent strength, but it was doubly pro-
vOking to find that, while it was essen
tial to the proper working of the arti-
Gle, and Instructions how and where it

TRAVELLING IN PERSIA,

Puntry Where Poor People Live on
Eight Cents Day.
- ETe enter Persia we are in the
Aman's paradise-a country where
Hence is possible upon 4d. day,
WIRE meat costs Id. a pound, and
bhad quarter as much in ordinary
tides; where a fowl may be purchased
fo- Cd, a partridge or wild duck for
I'd; where a serviceable pony can be
had for a fve-pOund note and a valu-
able thoroughbred for E20; whore a
servant can be hired for IS. a
month and his rations, and you can
feed a horse upon Sd. day. In most
of the cities largo house can be
rented for from 80 to ESQ a year, and
all the necessaries OF life are to be had
at the very cheapest rate. The very
mules upon which we are to march to
the capital, each of which will carry
a load of $50 pounds, are hired at
the rate of Cd. day; and yet from this
small sum the muleteer, if he be fortu-
nate. will obtain good profit. The
beasts are fat, there is plentiful her
bage for the first five stages, and a
handful of barley and eight pounds of
cut straw is all that the mules will get
during the other six days journey, and
each day the mules will march their 20
to % miles, and go merrily along under
their 300-poupd load, for the great pack
saddle can not weigh less than 20 to 80
Mounds. while the load itself is seldom
less than go, and they will steadily
maintain heir pace at an average OF
four miles an hour, save in the case OF
mountan passes, storms, swamps, and
the numerous contretemps incidental
TO Easern travel. The pack-saddle is
a vey important part of the mule j
equipment. Save when he is curry
CORDED, the pack-saddle never leaves
BIN by day or night; it supports the
l5ad and acts as his clothing, for,
however severe the weather may
be, the hardy Persian mule gets
no other. OF course, the pack saddle
is of the most solid construction;
its high peak towers at least Is inches
above the wither5 of the animal, and
the padding is nowhere less than six
inches thick. This padding is COM
posed of cut straw, and the muleteer
is accustomed. by means of a packing
needle thrust through the lining OF the
pad, to shift this stutfing in such way
as to remove the pressure from any
part of the animals back which may
become tender OF course, % mule with
bad sore back is useless and has to be
turned out TO grass; and, strange to
say, though there are many millions
of mules and ponies used as beasts OF
burden in Persia for, be it remem-
bered, there are no railways, no rivers,
no canals, and only one road, that

few that have been made for tho Shah y

The Impartial Way in Which Celestial

The Impartial Way in Which Celestial
Judges Mete Out Punishment.
A YWn-cH-i-qH hereditary officer)
named h'ang-shan, a Manchu belong
ing to the Bordered Blue Banner, was
ordered two years ago to take up his
quarters at a post station called Su-wa-
yen, for the purpose of patrolling the
country against robbers. At the same
time special orders were given to him
to keep watch upon the soldiers of
the station, who were reported to be in
the habit of expressing the people in
it's neighborhood. One day when the
officer in charge of the station was
away at Kirin, u soldier named Sun
Tien-hsiang went to a shop and tried
to buy some drugs on credit. AS, how
ever, he owed money for previous
purchases, the shopkeeper refused to
let him have any thing without pay
ment. He therefore became very vio-
lent, upon which the shopkeeper went
to complain of him to Ch'ang-shan.
who sent for him, reprimanded him
and then let him go. Next day the
shopkeeper came again to say that the
soldier had gone back to the shop.
knocked over the counter and threat
ened to kill the complainant and all his
family. The officer again called up
the soldier, who behaved in very re-
fractory and insubordinate manner in
court. He therefore ordered him to
receive logging of twenty blows,
which were inflicted with d whip on
the back OF his leg.
As soon as he was released, the man
went to the kitchen of the post-statiOn,
where he remained for twelve days, at
the end of which he died from the injury
he had received. A complaint was
lodged by his brother, and thorough
inquiry was made into the case by
officers specially deputed for the pur-
pose by the Memoralists. The Memoir
alist finds that the officer CHI ang-shan
acted quite rightly in taking notice
of the soldiers misbehavior. moro
especially as he had been particularly
desired to see to such matters. Also,
the soldiers conduct, towards the
shopkeeper5 and in court was such as
to merit a logging, the punishment
was inflicted on a proper part of his
person. and the number of blows was
moderate Nevertheless the Memoir
alist condemns tho officer to receive
one hundred blows under statute
which awards that penalty for causing
a mans death By logging him improp-
erly.
As the offender in this case is a COM
missioned officer, his dismissal from
the service will take the place of
corporal punishment. He will also
lose his hereditary post, to which
another member OF his family is APP
pointed to succeed. In accordance
with a further clause of the law above
quoted the man by whose hand the
fatal logging was actually inflicted
has been condemned to receive ninety
blows, that being penalty one degree
lighter than the sentence Of his supe-
rior under whose orders he acted. AS
he is a Manchu, the logging will be
given with the whip instead of the
bamboo. -Pe6lD Gu.ejie.
