had some scheme connected with them which
ne was propounding.
tsMv dear sirs-when the st. Gothard tunnel
is eomplete-answer me-what Will become OF
the bosnice? To what use can it be put? 1t
will be sold for song as not traveller VIII
cross the mountain when he can pass under IL.
For song-literally for song OF sixpence.
Now. can YOU conceive of a place more calcu-
lated by nature as a nursery OF Mount 81 Der
nard dogs-and the necessary buildings given
away-given for nothing to save them from
crumbling into ruin There is demand
growing demand for Mount st. Bernard dogs
that only wants little coaxing TO become
perfect Juror. We will send one as present
to Her ROYAL Highness the Princess of Wales
We will get in France an idea that the st. Ber-
nard dog is badge of the republic, and tnaS
all true Republicans are bound to have Mount
st. Bernard dogs. We will get some smart
writer's in America to dash off some sparkling
articles in the illustrated agazines and the
demand becomes furious. Say the population
of France is 37 OOO 900; actually it is morea Oh
these two-third-say %, 900, ,0O0-are Republicans
and of these, one-half are in position to Duy
Mount st. Bernard dogs, and we fan the par
tisan fever to a height, by means of the press
which is easily done by dropping few pounds
into the hands of writer's and proprietors. Say
the dogs, actually ask for them-that makes
five millions of Mount st. Bernard dogs to be
supplied to France alone. Then consider En-
gland, if it becomes the fashion there, and it
will become the fashion, if the Princess OF
Wales accepts dog from us, and walks about
with one. Every lady of distinction and then,
in the next year, eIery servant girl, will want
St. Bernard dog. And furtner-l have calcu-
lated that we can feed a dog at less than
farthings day; say the total cost is guinea.
have made inquiries and 1 find 1 shall be able
to buy up the broken meat at very low figure
from the great hotels of Switzerland during the
season. This will be conveyed to the hospice and
there frozen. So it will keep and be doled QUITO
the dogs daily, as required. Let us say thatthe
interest on the outlay in purchasing the hosplce
and in maintaining the staff of dog-keepers be
| one guinea per dog; that makes the total outlay
two guineas on each pup, and pup year old
we shall not sell under flO. Now calculate the
| profit for yourselves-fS dog, and 4,OOO,OOO
supplied to France alone to enthusiasts for the
republic. and quite 2000.0 600 to England to those
who initiate Her Royal Highness the Princess
of Wales and 1000 600 to the United States for
Americans who copy French or English fash
ions, and you have total of 100000 of dogs
at IS each, clear profit of f125, 900, ,0O0 If we
put the matter in decimals-"
The party turned and were before Mrs. Side
bottom. She could not hear what followed.
"My dear Lamb" whispered she, ibid you
hear that? What chanceI What head the
Colonel hasI'
At the next revolution Mrs. Sidebottom heard
something more about the dog scheme.
"You see, gentlemen. the splendid thing is
that the dogs suffer from pulmonary complaints
when in the plains, and will not breed away
| from the eternal snows-two great advantages
| to us. Shares-preference shares at fl0-are
| to be subscribed in full others as called in at
| intervals of six months. 1 myself guarantee 15
per cent but as you see for yourselves, gentle
| men, the scheme cannot fail to succeed and the
profits will be overwhelming"
"Are you going on to Andermattf" asked one
| of the gentlemen walking with Beaple Yeo.
'tNo, sir, 1 have had bad attack; you can
see the traces in my face 1 will also show you
my watch, how it was blackened. have been
ordered by my medical adviser to cruise up and

stored. By the way, if you are going to the
Hotel Imperial at Andermatt would you take
my card to the proprietor? He is interested
