A Useful Dog.

Intelligent dogs are many, but not
every dog, even though intelligent, can
be taught to gather flowers for it's mas
ter as certain Gordon setter, named
Norah, is said to do. Her master, Mon
sieur Barbat, writes of her in the
Chasseur Fratique.
In June, 1895, in a walk beside the
ponds of Alton, Savoy, friend and
l tried to reach some water-lilies with
our canes, but without success. Seeing
still finer blossoms out In the water,
called Norah, and threw stones toward
them in order to induce her to go for
them.
She seemed to understand at once,
plunged in, and coming and going
ket. The guards present could hardly
believe their eyes. The dog lowered
her head beneath the water so as to cut
the stems at certain distance from
the flowers.
This same dog was useful to her mas
ter in another way. One winter morn
ing she entered his study with stick
of wood held between her jaws. She
deposited the wood in the fireplace,
went down the steps and brought an
other, and continued her occupation I'M
til the supply Of wood seemed to her
sufficient, when she returned to her
place by the fire to enjoy the results of
her labor. She certainly seems to be
a dog of practical turn Of mind.

CHINESE TAKEN
AS HOSTAGES
German Officers Fear a
Breach of Faith.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c.. June 2S.-News was
brought by the steamers Glenogle and
Tartar, which arrived from the Orient
this morning.. of a high-handed ruse per
petrated- by the officers OF the Itlis at
Jihchao TO obtain hostages, so as to In
sure the settlement Of the Stenz outrage
in that city.
The Chinese Government having guar
anteed the Germans in Shang Tung from
further attacks, the Governor OF Using
tao decided to recall his troops at JIM
Chao, whittier they had been specially
sent to obtain satisfaction for the attack
on Stem and the punishment of the cul-
prits concerned. This not having been
done. it was determined to take hostages
prior to the departure of the troops
With this in view, Captain Won Falken-
h8yn, commanding the German detach-
ment, asked the local mandarin to ar
range a meeting for him with the princi-
pal literary. and business men of the city
This was accordingly done and the time
fixed for the meeting was the 18th of May,
at II o'clock. On the morning of that day
the German gunboat Itlis came over from
TsingtaO and anchored off the harbOr of
JihChao and Immediately all the baggage
and impediments OF the troops were en-
barked on the gunboat. the men them
selves remaining on shore to await fur
Their developments.
When Captain Won Falkenhayn met the
Chinese, he asked them what they In
tended to do about the Stem case. AS
no satisfactory answer could be obtained,
Captain Won Falkenhayn Informed them
that he would take five of their number
with him to Tsingtao as hostages. The
CONSERVATION which this declaration
caused was very great and they with one
accord rose up against the local man
DARN, accusing him of being privy TO this
breach of faith; but apparently no one
was more astonished at this result of the
conference than the mandarin himself
He at once begged of Captain Won Falk-
enhayn to take him to TsingtaO instead
Of the five hostages, but was promptly
refused.
When at last the Chinese saw that the
German officer was in earnest. they sub
mitted with the best grace they could and
of the troops. In the meantime the news
had got to the families of the five host
ages, and the former brought money and
provisions for the latter to take with
them to Tsingtao. The Itlis then weighed
anchor and steamed back to Tsingtao.
