From the subsection in which little Bob
keeps all those about him it might be in

pugilist for a father and a Hebe for a

which an outsider can only surmise.

ShOd Geese Spec tacIed Cattle.

In Bohemia when geese are to be
driven long distances to market they
are shod for the journey The method
of shoeing is as simple as it is effec-
tive. The geese are made to walk re-
peatedly over patches of tar mixed
with sand. This forms a hard crus. on
their feet, which enables them to
travel great distances without becom-
ing sore-foOted Even more useful
than shoes for geese are the spectacles
worn by the COWS that feed on the
Russian steppes Forty thousand spec
tacled cattle are now to be found in
that region, where the snow lies white
for six months in the year The cat
tie pick up living from the tufts OF
grass which crop above the snow. The
sun shines so dazzlingly upon the
white surface that many Of the ami
mails formerly suffered from snow
blindness. Then 1t occurred to some
humane person to manufacture smoke
cOlOred Spectacles for the cattle He
tried the experiment, and it was sue
cessful. The animals are saved much
suffering.

These payments will wind up the
largest and most remarkable interna-
tonal arbitration case on record It
has dragged itself out for eleven years,
filled forty fat volumes of printed evil
dence and has cost the American and
English claimants over a third of a
million for lawyers expenses. The
various governments involved in the
business have also spent on it time and
trouble worth three times the amount
Of the total claim, and at least three
state departments have been bored
profoundly by it,
In America the case has been known
as the McMurdo claim. for it was the
late Col Edward McMurdO who built
the DelagOa Bay railroad, and who
suffered most when the railroad was
seized. The incidents of that seizure

sisted on international arbitration.
Salisbury was dumb to this request.
Then Blaine said, "Arbitrate or fight"
and Portugal backed down
The action of Portugal was in no
small part due to the good offices OF
France, Russia and Paul Kruger. Had
it not been for those powers this coun-
try would have gone to war with the
impudent Portuguese and would have,
no doubt, administered a sound thrash
ing.
Furthermore, after Portugal had
agreed to arbitration by Switzerland,
the British government practically de-
serted its citizens, leaving them to fight
their case alone. when the American
government, having gone into the af-
fair on behalf of Col McMurdo's
widow, now Mrs. Frederick c. Penfeld
assumed the whole responsibility Of
the claim and was represented directly
before the arbitration tribunal. It's
counsel, J. Trehane, a member of the
American bar, now in London. living
in Berne practically all through the
period of arbitration. Up TO the time
of his death the late Col Bob" Inger-
soil was connected closely with the
conduct Of the American plea.

France and Belgium still play an i'm
