Such was the case with this particu-
lar bulldog. No amount of coaxing or
beating had any effect upon the brute.
The man suffered excruciating agony,
but it was not until heated iron was
applied to the dog that he could be
forced to relinguish his hold. The brute
was killed, the rean's wounds were
cauterized, but unfortunately the use
OF his arm was impaired by the injury
and is to this day.
This story was related to breeder of
bulldogs recently, and the question was
asked him what a man was to do in
case of an attack from a bulldog. He
replied as follows:
"a bulldog gives little warning of an
attack, but he always jumps high. That
is one good point to remember. If
man knows that he is to approach q
strange dog he should provide himself
with newspaper and matches. A bit
of blazing paper thrust in the face of a
bulldog will make him jump through
plate-glass window.
IF dog springs for man the latter
should guard his face with his arm and
try to meet the animal with his fore
arm. With the right hand he should at
tempt to catch one of the animals front
paws. The paw of bulldog is ultra
sensitive. If it can be caught vigorous
squeeze will make the animal howl for
mercy and retire discounted. The
quickest way to release a person from
the jaws of a bulldog, if he is unfortu-
nate enough to be bitten, is by catching
the dogs hind paw, in the center of
which is an exceedingly tender spot
called the heart. This should be pressed.
or, even better, the paw taken into the
mouth and bitten with the teeth. The
dog will relinquish his hold at once. 1t
is desperate remedy, but sure one.
and one that is resorted to by the pro-
fessional dog-fghters." IN. Y. Herald.
THE +CHlLD'S POINT OF VIEW.
Where Some Parents Show Complete Ig-
nOrance and Want of Appreciation.
The majority of parents show COM
plete ignorance and want of apprecia-
ton of the childs point of view. That
this little being, entirely dependent
upon and under subsection to the au-
thors of his existence can have his own
small dignity, pride and self-respect is
condition rarely recognized by the
parents.
The other evening a mother was COM
menting in the presence of the children
upon the difference between her son of
eleven and her daughter of nine years
of age. Harry" she said, sis quite

tastes and occupations. while Nell

health and spirits, lis boy all the way

have been the girl and vice versa"
The mother glanced at her boy as she
finished, and noticed at the moment
with what feeble contortion Harry at
tempted to smile an answer to this
pleasantly, but it made no lasting i'm
preston, and soon the children said
good night.
The next morning, however, after
breakfast, and while the family were
distributing themselves to morning
duties, Harry managed to- get his.

sobbed, wishing you hadn't done it..
The mother was overwhelmed. It
was her first intimation of the distress
her words had wrought. The boy was
right. She did not know" and it is
to her credit that she made all the
reparation possible, reinstating the boy
in his own manliness at the first oppor-

taking the lesson to heart for future
conduct.-N. Y. Times.
