dead You may think that is a Ash
story. but 1t is an actual fact. and the
cruisers log will verify IT,"
A story, probably perfectly true. that
seems to be arousing quite an unneces-
sary amount OF comment and even sur
prise, is to the effect that the French
ministry of war is employing dogs as
sehtrles OF the powder magazines at
Brest and Toulon. Why in the world
not? What is more natural? The
dog has been the recognized guardian
of mans house and property for years.
Was not three-headed animal of this
amiable species even stationed at the
portals of the lower regions until that
very enterprising burglar Hercules in
terfered with him? So why should
anybody be surprised that the French
should think of watchdogs to guard
powder magazines? A really singular
tale was current about dogs OF war a
few years back, to the effect that the
Germans were training Great Danes to
attack anyone in French uniform. A
man of straw in the French uniform
was given them to practice on-so the
story went-while they were taught to
deal gently with men OF straw in the
uniform of the German army. Prob
ably this story was of fairy nature,
for we have heard no more OF it.

An rmharn..sa s,naent.

Mr. Spurgeon used to tell good
story about one of his divinity stu
dents. II was his custom. in order to
test the powers OF the young men for
speaking. to give them. as they were
about TO ascend the pulpit. text to
discourse about on their own plan and
In their own words. This. OF course,
was not before an audience. but simply
among themselves for practice. On the
occasion referred to. he gave 20 a
young man. who az yet had not tried
tho ordeal. the simple word, Fac
chaeus." The young man. trembling
from head to foot, said: 4 will divide
my subject into three parts. First. We
read that Zacchaeus was small Of stat
ure. and never felt smaller than at
the present moment. Second, We read
that Zacchaeus climbed a tree. which
reminds me OF my ascent into this pull
pit. Third. We read that Zacchaeus
made haste to come down-whieh ac-
cordingly | will now do" Whether this
man ever became a great preacher or
not. we are not told. but he certainly
showed that he possessed ready wit.

Gladstone a. nov.

William Ewart Gladstone. at the age
OF II, was the best looking boy who
ever entered Eton. and the brightest
fellow who ever left It. He was al
ways proud to claim membership with
one OF the old families OF commerce.
and TO the last declined all honors and
titles offered him by the queen. pre-
ferring TO remain "one OF the people. E"
His mother traced her ancestry to the
royalty OF the fourteenth century. She
was woman OF very great accomplish
ments, and exacted obedience from her
six children. Gladstone's earlier life
was passed under the direct care OF this
wise and watchful mother. Her boys
were required to perform some manual
labor. and to take much physical ex-
ercise, and were instructed in wood
saving and carving. A mans treat
