nicatins Ito the nation the news of the

TEE RIRp sErrER DOG.
In Pointing He Makes u Distinction
tween a Live, . Dad and u wound

In Pointing ne Makes Distinetion Be-
tween Live, . Dad and u Wounded
Bird.
As the bird season Is approaching Il
will not prove uninteresting 10 call at
tention to the wonderful powers of the
bird dog. The seeming power Of we'll
bred, well.trained setter is thing
wholly beyond human conception, and
the marvellous exhibitions they give Of
this power can scarcely be credited. In
deed, 1t would not be wise to discuss the
quality of dogs nose were it not pos
sible to verify the stories that might he
told Of this wonderful power. Who
would believe that dog going at
good gallop, with dead bird in bis
mouth, could scent live bird on the
ground several yards TO one side Of his
coursep And yet there are few sports
men who have not seen dog point
live bird with dead bird in his mouth.
IL seems as IL the scent of the bird so
near his nose would prevent the dog
from seeming another bird of the same
variety lying close in the grass several
yards from him.
A man with u bunch of roses in his
face would not pretend he could smell
a bunch of similar flowers q foot away.
If he did, no one would believe him.
Yet there is no doubt about the setter
being able to smell and point live birds
on the ground while he holds dead
bird in his mouth. He goes farther
than this. He points dead bird on the
ground with dead bird in his mouth,
and he knows the instant he feels the
scent that it is dead bird. This fact
he expresses in his manner of pointing,
and If it is wounded bird he knows
that, too, and indicates the fact. Most
dogs are taught to point stanchly live
bird, and not to point dead bird. The
dog will go at full speed right up to his
dead bird and never pause n moment
If there is live bird near he will point
that stanchly, and the promptness and
certainty of his decisions show that the
instant he catches scent he knows
whether the bird is alive or dead. He
makes distinction, too, between adead
bird, live bird and wounded bird.
He points the wounded birds differently
from what he does the live bird, and
usually springs in and catches it. What
there is about wounded birds scent
that he can recognize instantly is a
puzzle to everyone who has thought
much Of the question.

pondence makes the following state.
ment:
The British Medical Association has
been investigating the question Of
longevity in connection with the use of
alcoholic beverages. The terms used In
tho report are rather elastic, but the
figures are instructive. Deaths to the
number of ABA, taken atrandon, show
the average age of temperate drinkers to
he sixty.three years; careless drinkers,
fifty-nine years; free drinkers, fifty
seven years; incorporate drinkers, fifty
three years; total abstainers, tifty.one
years. The analysis in the case of those
who reached the age of over eighty
shows that fifteen per cent were total
abstainers, ten per cent heavy drinkers,
and seventy-four per cent moderate
drinkers. OF those who lived more than
ninety years, fifteen per cent were total
abstainers, nine per cent were hard and
seventy-iive per cent moderate drinkers

A business man has in his employ one
of those quick witted sons of Erin who
are rarely, if ever, at loss for bright
reioinder.
One day when the streets were very
slippery with ice, truckman tried to
get up to the gentleman's door with a
heavy load. The horses, having no
corks on their shoes, struggled and
slipped about in desperate way, with
out making any real progress.
The good-humored Irishman went
out and endeavored to assist the truck
man; at last, when it seemed as If their
united efforts were all In vain, Pat
looked up at the man, and said with a

the Roman the Pope intends to create
special congregation for them, quite
separate from the Propaganda, with q
cardinal or project whom he would
nominate. The Pnpe, it is declared,
would leave to the Eastern churches all
their privileges and rites, only demand
ing that the patriarchs elected by the
Synod of Bishops should be approved
by the Roman Pontitf, TO whom the set
tleinent Of all questions of dogmatic and
ecclesiastical rights would be reserved.
Before all this can be arranged, how
ever, it will be necessary that the repre-
sentatives of the Oriental Churches be-
come rcconciled TO the belief of the
Roman faith on The points upon which
they are at varience. The chief OF
these are the denIRls Of the Eastern re-
ligious leaders of the procession of the
Holy Ghost from Father 20 Son, tho
supremacy of the Roman See, and the
conservation of the body of Christ in
the element of unleavened bread. AS
the Romanist's views in these respects
were once admitted to be correct iiyo
centuries ago, 1t is hardly probable that
serious clash in them will occur now.
The Pope practically asks SO little thai
it is thought success will attend his en-
beavers. The principal pointo of disscn-
sion with the Eastern churches has
always been their fear of being sacri-
feed to Rome and the Latins. The
Pope desires to convince tho delegates
that the papacy is not sectional, but
universal, and after the conference he
will issue an encyclical to the Oriental
churches which, those in position to
speak with some certainty say, will go
lar toward conquering the most deter
mined opponents of his plans. An
educational announcement Of strong
interest is that the union would be fol-
lowed by the institution Of three great
Catholic Oriental colleges at Corfu
Athens and Smyrna.
