Toy Bulldogs are London's "Twen.
 cent" Fad.

London Mail.
 For the society dame who wishes to be quite twencent and chic, there is now one kind of dog, and one only-the toy bull.
 It is not easy to exactly describe a toy bulldog. Irreverent people, who don't own toy bulls, say he Is merely an ordinary bulldog.In this, however. they are wrong. There are points about the cousin never develops-the cur'ous bat like ears. for instance. and the "cob- by" back.
 When the craze first starred there were wrangles many and bitter as to what constituted a genuine toy bull; and 1t was partly to settle this that, in 1898, the Toy Bulldog Club was orig mated.
 Directly after its foundation the Club proceeded to deal with the vsxed ques- tion of weight, the limit being at first fixed at P pounds. Then i. was re- duced to under 20 pounds
 Of course, not all toy bulldogs are up to the above limit of weight, or anywhere near it. Tn fact, Almost all the best known and most highly prized toys are far below it. For instance, Lady Kathleen Pilkington's Ninon de HEncIos, one Gf thc most c0s5by, com pact, and in every way perfect toy bulls now before the public. weighs but 15 pounds. She is by St Accident. now the property of Lady Lewis out of Nina, and was born May 22. 1899. Her measurements are as follows: Cir conference of head. 15 inches; height at shoulder. 10 inches; height al back. 12 1-2 inches; length of body, 20 inches; circumference of leg. 4 IA inches.
 Mention has been made Of the bat like ears. which are so much sought after and so highly prized. It must not be supposed. however, that all toy bulls are lowered with these weirdly grotesque auricular appendages. Some have prick" ears, while others, again DC ssess what are technically called "rose" ears-neat small and close to the head.
 IF color the toy is usually Of 8 brinded hue. though lawn and white are admissible. For the rest, he never barks, seldom bites. requires but little exercise, and has been succinctly summed up by one of his most con- sistent admirers as having the mind of an affectionate if greedy angel. and the appearance of friendly If asth- matic devil.

A Very Remarkable Remedy.

"It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction that recommend Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy" says Druggist A. W. Sawtelle of Hartford, Conn. "A lady customer. seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case, said to me: I really believe that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore and she became so enthusiastic over its merits that at once made up my mlnd to recommend 1t in the future. Recently a gentleman came into my store SO overcome with collie pains that he sank at once to the floor. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly in forming me that he felt as well as ever" For sale by E. c. Fowler, Drug sist. -adv.

It was stated, however, that such action had not been taken, and could not be taken while the offer of the In firmary property was awaiting the de- cision of the City Council. Assurances were given by some of those present that immediately upon the decision of Council Gf adverse) 8 movement for a general city hospital would be under taken. This movement will not look toward hospital controlled solely by non- Roman Catholics or Protestants, but toward an institution under the management of fully representative board of business men in the interest of all the people of the city.
