rraininT shepAerd DOGS.


.;Thexaatiyes Of New Mexico seem to
have an original way Of training shep-
herd, dogs A, pup Is taken from its
mother as soon after birth as possible
(the breed OF dog Is immateriall. The
young OF d sheep or goat is taken
away and the pup is substituted.
After the first few days the pup 10
never fed except just before the dock
goes to pasture in the. morning land
just after the sheep are brought in ut
night. AS soon as he can walk he
goes out with the flock and stays with
it all day. Whenever he begins to an
ticipate supper BY trying to drive the
1ock in before shutdown. he gets pun
ished. After, hesis.about q !yearfold he
takes flock eutys guards from ether
dogs and coyotes during the day and
brings them In at the proper time at
night without supervision. l have tried
ali kinds OF temptation on dog that
was encountered in the hills with his

main faithful to his duty, driving his
flock TO. a safe distance, before ventur-

The stopping OF projeetile always

something astounding. For example:
The earth weighs 1900, 900, O0O, 600
tons. 1t travels In It's orbits at the
rate OF over 1S miles a second.
Should 1t strike target strong enough
to stop It's motion the heat developed
by the shock would be sufficient not
merely to fuse the earth, but also to re-
duce large portion Of It to vapor.
1t has been calculated that the
amount Of heat generated by collision
so colossal would equal that obtained
from the burning Of IA. globes Of coal.
each equal to the earth In size. And
should the earth after its stoppage fail
into the sun, as 1t certainly would do,
the amount Of beat developed by It's
impact on the sun would be equal to
that generated by the combustion Of
5000 earths Of solid carbon.

and western Pennsylvania turn out
and give him a hearty reception here

Some of the Republican leaders are
pretending in print that they will be
satisfied with majority of $4,000 OF
$4,000 in Vermont, and their explana-
ton is that a small majority UP there
would tend to stir up the party
throughout the country and do away
with the prevailing apathy. That's all
moonshine. The trouble with the lead
ers is, they don't see their way clear
to the usual majority in Vermont this
year, or, for that matter, in any other
State, and they are preparing excuses
in advance The normal Republican
majority in Vermont is rather in ex-
cess of $4,000. Any falling off from
that figure will mean a popular disaf-
fIection with Republicanism and its
plans, projects and policies. If they get
10000 they will simply have held their
own. Anything else will be a signif-
ant Democratic gain.

Nell Gwynne on the Stage.
Pail Mall Gazette.

al Mail 0GLGNNG.
Nell Gwyn as a heroine is nevertheless
surprising, for though in her own person
she brought fortune TO a theatre, as a
stage heroine she has hitherto failed. The
reason, perhaps. has not oeen far to seek.
The file de joie is regarded in our land
as a subject for tragic treatment But
not as a source of comedy. National pre-
judice has much to do with the aloofness
OF the public from Nell Gwyn. They buy
prints OF her, some who are young and
bachelors A few possibly dip into the
pages of Pepys fer a hint OF her But
behind any interest of this sort there
has always been an awkward middle class
kind Of feeling that she was a brazen hag-
gage and not exactly for home admiration.
Mr. w. c. Wills in n comedy written
round her score of years ago, clogged
the dice with delightful effrontery. His
Nell was all that was noble and sweet.
and she actually wheedled Greenwich
Hospital out OF the King and believed him
with patriotic sentiments before our eyes
But all to no purpose. We have advanced
since then. of course, and, who knows2
a clever play may carry a tainted heroine.
Clever. at any rate, the work of Mr. Hope
and Mr.. Edward Rose is certain TO be.

Her Polite Endeavor.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
A pretty miss of about fourteen sum-
mers nearly broke up a wedding party
at Linwood a short time ago. 1t was
about the first wedding that she had ever
attended. and she felt the Importance of
the occasion very much. After the cere-
money she noticed that the people went
up to the bride and groom and made re-
marks TO them. She supposed that they
were words of congratulation or condo
lence, or something of that sort, but her
ideas of the proper thing 10 say under the
circumstances were little vague. Final
~ she whispered to an old friend OF the
family who was near by:
What shall / say when I go up there?'
she faitered.
''oh, just anything to show them that
you are glad they are married. Just some
thing complimentary. you know"
In few minutes the little miss had
made her way to where the happy couple
were receiving the congratulations, There
was quite crowd around. but she didn't
mind them one bit. She marched straight
up to the bride, and extending her hand,
said:
II wish you many happy returns of the
day"
The remark convulsed everyone in hear
ing, but the little miss left the church
with the consciousness that she had OBJ
served the proprieties.

tL.eir accomplishment. The couple in
question had successfully passed all
the 'foumalfties, and had proceeded SO
far as to appear before the Mayor for
the civil marriage ceremony. But when
the usual questions were put and the
groom had replied with yes the
prospective bride answered mo" Then
she saw her error, and explained that
she had meant to say yes but that
the word of opposite meaning had slip
ped out without her intending it. Her
explanation, in modern slang, didn't
CO." however, and the couple had TO
stand aside with the official explana-
tion that they would have to commence
the whole thing over again, with the
announcements of the bans, etc, just
as though they had but become formal
Ivy engaged. The incident ought to be
a solemn warning to the female sex,
especially in France Even in this
country they say mo- pretty often
when they really intend to say yes!
The practice ought to be discouraged.

THE WRONG STILL EXISTS.

The Chicago Times Herald is now a
full-fedged and rampant Republican
organ, backing the administration in
everything-going the whole hog, as
1t were Yet it has been but a few
months since this same paper denounc-
ed Mckinley for his policy as regards
Porto Rico, and in doing SO said among
other pertinent things:
Thus was THE GRIEvOUS BLUND-
Err committed. How grievous and
fraught with dire possibilities, not only
to the Republican party, but to the
country, neither Congress nor the Pres
ident could have foreseen. But they
must realize now that the tariff section
in the Porto Rico bill has aroused A
STORM throughout the country THAT
WILL NOT DOWN.
IF CONGRESS AND THE PRESI-
DENT PERSIST IN THEIR PRES
ENT CCURE NOTHING CAN SAVE
The REPUBLICAN PARTY FROM
DEFEAT NEXT NOVEMBER. II
WILL SURELY COST THEM THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
AND 1T MAY COo4 THEM THE
Presidency.
Worse than any OF these possibilities
it may involve the election of Bryan
with all that that implies.
But one course is open to the Repub-
lican party. Let it face the situation
with the only spirit that can compel
respect in the presence Of A STUPlEN-
DOUS AND HUMlLLAT1NG BLUND-
ER. Let it acknowledge the mistake
and make haste to regain popular con-
fidence by undoing the contemplated
wrong to Porto Rico.
There is no shame in retreating
from the verge OF a precipice before
taking the last irretrievable step. THE
Only SALVATION FOR THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY Is THROUGH
THE GATE THAT GIVES FREE
TRADE TO PORTO RICO.
The country looks to President Nc
Kinley TO rise to tne full stature OF a
statesman who dares to ACKNOWL-
EDGE A MISTAKE and to UNDO A
WRONG.
Mr.. Mckinley and his party stand
rCw where they stood when the people
of Porto Rico were first oppressed. The
wrong has not been righted, and yet
the Times-Herald has condoned the
crime.

that Col. Thomas O'Brien. Sr.. abso-

zens. without regard to party. Colonel
O'Brien is popular, capable, widely es-
teemed, and the Register believes that
if he had consented to be candidate he
would have been nominated by accla-
nation and elected by large majority,
and once elected, ne would have been
the representative Of the people in the
broadest sense of the word, solicitous
for their interests, as he ever has been.

ouenchinE the Thirst.

Prof. Flinders Petrie in London Times.
At temperature of 100 degrees and over a
gallon of drinking water a day is fairly
requisite. but the time of taking 1t is all
important. The opportunity to wash out
muscular waste without too much loss
by the skin is at night. After sunset as
much water as possible should be taken,
and throughout the night water should al
ways be at hand. After freely drinking
thus there is nothing left TO eliminate in
the morning and no need of water wiX
be felt in less than five or six hours of
hot exercise. During the day as little as
possible should be taken, as it is lost in
perspiration. The practical point is that
an unstinted supply should be ready as
soon as camp is reached and always at
hand until the morning. If after that none
was allowed until noon ii would be an
advantage
The greatest safety against sunstroke
is in free evaporation from the nape OF
the neck. When in good order the nape
should be wet and quite cold to the touch
in the hottest weather. If 1t is not per-
spring wetting 1t artifcially will help
start 1t right. So long as it is wet and
freely uncovered no discomfort is felt
from any heat. II is obvious that high.
tight fitting TUNES and collars are the
worst clothing for such conditions. Other
animals, such as camels, have also large
and very active sweat glands on the neck
at the base of the skull. The application
of some obvious common sense to the diff
ficulties found in hot climates would save
constant suffering and a good deal of ILL
ness

One of the strongest influences which
are making themselves felt at Washing
ton in opposition to the withdrawal of
American troops from China is that of the
missionary societies. 1t is curious, as it is
saddening, that the avowed disciples OF
the Prince of Peace should be so clamor-
Gus for the propaganda of force in CO.
operation with their propaganda of faith.
1t was not by the fundamentally of ma
chine guns or their ancient equivalents

assurance of victory for the Republican
national ticket in November. That is to
say, ii the majority be larger than usual
it will demonstrate great enthusiasm for

Although all the other members of the

or less significant that Brother Griggs-
Griggs of New Jersey, where the little

AS Brother Griggs is not naturally OF a

his silence is due to a hint from his illus
trious chief that his eloquence would not
be likely TO evoke wild enthusiasm among
the proletariat And as Brother Grggs
usually devotes himself to praise and de-

next place, nearly all persons who work
for their living are alarmed over the
growth of the trusts. This class OF people
know that no step will be taken against
the trusts by Mckinley and that their
grasp of industrial conditions will be
strengthened if Mckinley is reelected.
