Pet Dogs of a Queen.


OF all kinds of animals there have never
been any so favored by Queen Victoria
as the dog. Wherever she stays she is
surrounded by her pets and her favorites
are always moved from place to place
with her. She has an unconquerable
aversion to cats. She does not care es-
pecially for horses or birds, but devotes
herself to her canine friends. AT Wind
sor the kennels contain upward of 100
dogs
These buildings are of brick with tiled
floors and are model dog houses. Her
Majesty in former years was decidedly
fond of collie dogs, but though She has
some fine specimens of this breed her
taste has greatly changed. Her special
favorite to-day it Ayah, a magnificent
pug. More than any other of the dogs
he spends his time in the Queens sitting
room. After Ayah come Sasha and
Waldman. Sasha is a white Pomeranian,
with beautiful silky hair, and was a pres
ent to the Queen from Princess Aribert
of Anhalt
Waldmhn is a dashchund given the
Queen by Princess Beatrice. He is a very
loving animal and will sit for hours. quiet
and sedate. watching his owner. Jock
is the clown dog of the kennels and
everybody's pet. He is a fox terrier and
his antics are comical the Queen al
ways asks for him when she comes TO
Windsor. He usually trots around with
one ear up, the other down.
SNOWFALL is a pure white collie, who Is
a great beauty The Queen is also fond
of Roma II, Skye so intelligent, It is
said, to understand everything said TO
it, Pomeranians are great favorites of
the Queen, and she sends the puppies
to all her friends and relatives. She does
not miss a visit each week to the ken
nels and always keeps one or two or her
favorites at the castle.

EXODUS OF NEGROES.
Many of Them to Leave North Geor-
gIn for the West.

Athens, Ga. Aug. S.-Responsible ne
groes are authority for the statement that
there is soon to be a wholesale exodus of
negroes from this section of the state TO
farm lands in Arkansas.
Agents have been at work for many
months in organizing the movement Some
of tine negroes are to go by rail, but the
majority of them so the report says, will
travel through the country in wagons.
In Oglethorpe county the movement Is
said to be especially active and the en-
igration fever is raging. A large number
of negroes from Clarke is scheduled to
leave.
The informants state that there will be
from 1000 to l 500 emigrants in the party;
that the negroes are selling their house
hold goods, and endeavoring to buy vehi-
cles and mules; that at an appointed date
the emigration is to begin and that 1t will
exceed anything of the kind ever before
known in this section.
Information is hard to secure, as the ne
groes are extremely reticent on the ques-
ton and the agents here used the utmost
secrecy in their movements.
1t is generally agreed that Arkansas Is
20 be the objective point. Whether or not
"Pegleg" Williams is interested cannot be

HEALTHY SCHOOLMA'AM

Many schoou teachers, at the end of
their years work, feel thoroughly ex-
hausted and worn out, physically and men
tally The demand upon the nerves and
brain of teacher is unusual aud unless
they are well fed and fed upon properly
selected food It is natural that they should
run down.
A little woman teacher at Gobleville,
Mich, who has been teaching regularly
for a number of years has always found
herself thoroughly exhausted at the end
of the session, until within the last year,
she has made use of Grape-Nuts Food
with the result that she closed the year
as a robust. healthy. strong, vigorous wo-
man, having gained in weight from 80
pounds to 1876; her nerves strong, face
bright and CHEEKY and really a wonder to
all her friends. who constantly comment
on her color and strength. She knows ex-
actly to what the change is attributed. for
In the years past, living on ordinary food,
she has almost broken down before 'he
school year closed, whereas since using
Grape Nuts, this change has been brought
about; evidence prima facie of the value
of Grape-Nuts Food for rebuilding the
brain and nerve centers.
The name of the teacher can be given
by Postum Cereal Co. Lid. Battle Creek,
Mich.

The evils and burdens Of the present mo
ment growing out Of the Spanish war
are to be laid as much at the door Of Mr..
Bryan and his party as at that Of Mr..
Mckinley and his. His explanation Of
his reason for wishing the treaty ratified
is wholly superficial and does not bear
analysis.
Policy on Philippines.
I imagine that self-government will
come quite as readily through the admin
istration of Mr.. Mckinley as through
that of Mr.. Bryan. 1t will not come un
der either until the Philippines are fitted
for it, property rights safe and personal
ones protected. / hardly believe Nj.
Bryan could do more than send a COM
mission there, as the President has done,
planting the military government with a
civil one.
The country will not sanction the inn
mediate abandonment of those islands to
disorder and pillage. When a time
that there is safety in a constitutional
home government, only remaining within
the sphere of the influence of the Unit
ed States, and public sentiment is to this
end, it can be put down that Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration will readily grant
it, for I believe it is generally admitted
that no one is more ready to put himself
in touch with public sentiment than the
President, or act in accordance there
with with more alacrity. If MI. Bryan
means In immediate abandonment of our
control in the islands he must certainly
fail Of support, for no thoughtful person
will sanction a policy which will make
the country ridiculous in the eyes of the
world.
Would Not Trust Him.
If Mr.. Bryan and his party had stood
out as they should have against the Span
ish war and had opposed instead of as
sisted in ratifying the Paris treaty, they
would be in q better position to confront
Republican plans and purposes, for they
would at least be consistent with their
action. AS it is now, they urgedthe war,
but now wish to avoid the consequences
in order to gain political power by SO
doing. As it is, I don't see that Mr..
Bryan is less of an expansionist, through
force of circumstances which he assisted
in creating, than is Mr.. Mckinley. The
