A SOLDIERS DOG.
Rests, Like Many Another Warrior
In an Honored Grave In HIS
Native Land.

Pats picture was in the Royal Scot
fish academy, representing him as q
smooth-coated little tyke, says Cham
bers' Journal. He was of nondescapt
breed, but of great intelligence and
we'll versed in the performance OF
tricks. He had travelled, eyentful his
tory. One master was killed in ac-
ton; but brother officer adopted the
Quaint white mongrel as his special
charge. Pat was in an Afghan cam
paign, which proved fatal to another
regimental dog, John Harrison, re-
triever. John often followed his mas
ter, the colonel, through Edinburgh's
gray streets. The heat on his last for
eign service was, however, too much
for him, and on the march to Kandahar
John was shot for fear he should lag;
and rests, like many another warrior

CANNON BALLS FOR SALE.
Extracted by the Hundred from tho
Walls of an Old safety Vault
In New York.

Workmen engaged in demolishing
the 4s-year-old five-story building at
the southwest corner of Wall and Will
liam streets have found number Of
eight-pound iron balls let into the
joints of the granite slab forming the
outer wall of the street vault in what
was the basement of the building.
About 200 of the balls have been found,
reports the New York Sun. One OF
the workmen was sure he. had discov-
cred some revolutionary relics" and
succeeded in disposing of number
of the cannon balls" at so cents
apiece. So many of the metal spheres
were discovered that the price soon
fell to tin of beer. The discovery and
sale continued Tuesday and yesterday
and as there are few slabs still in the
place there will probably be more "rel-
los" for sale to-day.
The demolished building was occu-
pied by the Atlantic Mutual Insurance
company and by the Phenix bank. Tho
vault measures perhaps IS by 20 feet.
| The granite slabs which form its outer
wall are IS inches thick. The top Of
each one was followed out to receive
half the iron ball and the bottom OF
the next higher was followed out to
receive the other half. Possibly the
metal balls were put in to bother any
burglar who might seek to dig through
the wall.

OUR GOODS IN CHINA.
Great Market There for
Cotton.

Consul Wildman, writing from
Hong Kong, China, says: IF proper
ly placed before the Chinese, Ameri-
can cotton goods will obtain the same
foothold in southern China that they
have in northern. The present impor-
tations are not nearly sufficient to
meet the requirements. 1t must be
borne in mind that the Chinese never
wear wool-not even in the depth of
winter; that, generally speaking, the
entire population clothe themselves
IN cotton all the year round. Their
bedclothes, umbrellas, and, in few
instances, boat sails are made of cot
ton, and the consumption is practical
ly unlimited if they arc made in ac-
cordance with native requirements.
The cloths should be strong, coarse,
unbleacneu cloth, % inches wide, re-
tailable at about five cents a yard, or
&c cents gold per piece of nine yards.
There is also virgin market for a
cotton cloth which, tanned or other
wise trcnted would prove rainproof.
| All cotton goods would have to be put
up in lengths to suit the peculiar re
| uuiremcnts of the trade for which
they are designed, and such details
could best be learned after having
made trial shipment. AS I have
pointed out before, it is impossible to
do business with Chinese by CORE
respondence, and the most that a con
sui can do is to supply a hint"

TO CHECK CONSUMPTION.
boston Health Authorities Take
Measures for the Complete Iso-
lation of All Patients.

Hereafter consumptives in Boston
who cannot be isolated and cared for
properly in their homes, insuring the
protection of their relatives and 9TH
ers not afflicted, will be removed by
the board of health to the Long Island
hospital or to Tewllsbury almshouse.
Several patients have been sent al
ready to these institutions, but they
will be treated differently from peo-
pie having acute diseases like scarlet
fever, typhoid fever, diphtheria or
smallpox. They will be allowed to re-
ceive visitors and life will be made as
pleasant for them as the rules of the
institution will permit.
The board of health is determined
to dc. all it can do to wipe out tuber-
culosis in Boston if possible. Some
weeks ago an order was issued requir-
ing all physicians to report all cases
, of consumption within their knowl
