An acquaintance owns a setter, (female)
one of the most refined and delicate in her
manners of any dog that we have ever seen
and perfect in her action in the field. This
spring the dog gave birth to litter of pups,
and she has trained them perfectly. The
little rascals as soon as they could run would
chase the lambs on the farm. The mother
went for them, taking one after another by
the neck and giving them a good shaking,
and the little chaps soon learned that chas-
ing lambs did mot always end in fun. for
themselves. Then they attempted to chase
young kittens and again the motherly disci-
pline was applied. Their next field of ex-
ploration was the vines in the garden, and
the mother drove or rather hauled them out
of that in short order, so that better be-
haved family cannot be found.
How often one hears a mother tell of the
"cute" wickedness of her wonderful darling
that mother might well take lesson in NOR
ais from that thoroughly bred, as she is in
stinctively refined, setter.

A l3-year-old Portland lad, who is visiting
In Brunswick, entered A. I. Campbelps store
In that village, by breaking window, and
stole gold watch. two chains. and three Ma
sonic pins and a watch charm. The goods
were recovered. The boy at first said a man
was with him and he staid outside, but after
wards confessed. He was cool little fellow,
for after he entered the store he put up pa
pers over the window, and lighted the gas
and then selected the jewelry he wanted.
Mr.. Campbell will not prosecute him.

THE ABYSSINIAN WAR.
Italy's Troops Complete their Rail-
 road to Dogali.

Rome advices from Massowah say that the railway has been completed to Dogali and that regular trains are running over 1t. The Italian military depot has been transferred to Dogali. Gen. Gene's brigade, with the artillery, has taken up a position two kilometres west of Dogah.
 Dogali is the place about thirteen miles west of Massowah, where the Italian troops were massacred by the Abyssinians last year, the event that led to the present hostilities. The Italians are now in possession of Saati. about four miles further west, where the rude road begins to climb towards the highlands The railroad is being extended to Saati, where & large fortified depot for the storage of tho supplies is building. Ras Alula, the priaci- pal commander of King Johns forces, is at Asmara, only thirty miles distant The Italians can now see the enemy on the heights above them daily watching their operations. The invaders have large number of pack mules and ,40J camels to carry their SUD- plies up the mountains if they decide to give battle to the Abyssinians on tho high lands
 Ras Alula is said to be fortifying Asmara, and present appearances indicate that the na- tives will not risk defeat by descending to the lowlands. but will prefer to await the enemy on the plateau, knowing we'll that the Italians would prefer to fight nearer their source of supplies. It is not surprising that the Italians are consuming so much time in getting ready to fight, in view of the fact that they cannot depend upon the country for supplies. but must carry everything from Massowah. They must therefore first provide adequate facilities for the carriage of supplies, by means of their railroad to Saati, and caravans of pack anim 8 8 for service in the highlands.
