A Milford, Iowa, lady writes to The
Journal to tell of the wonderful as
tuteness Of her little boy Henry. While
playing on the edge of a lake one day
he found some snail shells. He asked his
mother what they were and she told him
that they were little houses the snails
| lived in. One day not long after, he sat
on the floor playing with a large shell.
| Suddenly he looked up and said:
| Mamma, what do you bet that whale
didn't live in this some time
An intelligent shepherd dogsSm Mon
! tana helped his master take care Of a
| herd containing several hundred head Of
sheep. One evening it began to storm and
| his master told him to go and round up
the sheep and bring them home He had
to go about twenty miles altogether, but
he got every one and brought them to the
ranch in the face of a binding snow storm
Just before going to the house for the
night, his master scolded him sharply for
| some little thing Anvo0a who haS
known a shepherd dog, knows how SEN
sitive they are. They seem to understand
all that Is said to them. -.
| Well, when this man went to look after
his sheep, the next morning, not one was
to be found. OF course he begun to search
for them and found that the dog had, in
the night taken them all back.
The Chaska Herald describes "a dis
graceful episode" on it's main street Sun

The visit of King Edward to France was
a surprise of apparent amity and cor
diality President Loubets return visit
ing and 1t has been followed by invita-
lions to many members Of the French
chamber of deputies sto visit the English
house of commons, which have been ac-
cepted Such visit may deepen the grow
ing conviction that the mutual interests
binding the two nations cannot be safely
ignored The conflicts of French and
English interests in Africa have been
partly settled by the decisive obstruc-
ton of Marchand's eastward advance, in
Frances interest, from the French sphere
in the west. Edwards visit to Portugal
and Italy seems to have been eminently
satisfactory and Germany, while not low
ing Englishmen or loved deeply by them,
has very excellent reasons to avoid trouble
with England. The treaty with Japan.
designed to keep Russian ambition In
check, is an indication that England s
interests are not to suffer in China If she
can help 1t.
So far as our own country is concerned
Americans prefer generally to be at peace
with England and very largely because
the British market for our meat and grain
and manufactures is too valuable to part
with indifferently. It is so valuable, In
deed, that there is small doubt, If the
Chamberlain preferential tariff policy is
adopted, all furious protests of extreme
protectionists, who talk as If 1t were
treason to articulate the word "reciproc
ity,' will not avail to stifle the strong
demand for making commercial conces
sions advantageous to England, who
whatever may be said about the Dresen
English aversion toward protection, Il
gravitating slowly to the policy OF levy
ing preferential duties on American prod
ucts in favor of the colonies, SO that sh.
will have a weapon with which to figh

PAINFuLsTo THE TOUCH
New York Times.

Governor Bob Taylor, the fiddler ex-.
ecutive of Tennessee, was the autocrat OF
democratic politics in his state. A fac
tional split in the party seemed likely on
one occasion because of the sulkiness OF
one of the district leaders who was noted
for his irritating stubbornness, and Cow
ernor Bob" was appealed to by Senator
Carmack and other prominent state poll
ticians to bring the "insurrecto" into line.

In view OF the numerous deaths resulting
this year from tetanus contracted on: the
Fourth of July it looks as if the makers of
fireworks have managed somehow to get
more of the deadly germs into their prod
ucts than in other years. Such a large
number of deaths from such horrible dis
ease are likely to have more influence in
discouraging fireworks Fourth than all
the protests that may be spoken or writ
ten. When parents realize that there is
a strong possibility that the boy who re-
ceives trihing wound from firecracker
or a toy pistol may die week or two later
in frightful agony, there will be a general
disposition to keep the boys from burn

According to the figures of the Canadian
department of the interior the total num-
her of immigrants entering Canada in the
fiscal year ending June 30,t@was -A124,658
OF these 1880 came from the United
States, 41,7S7 from the British islands,
and 1881 from the continent of Europe.
The homestead entries during the year
were 31,3i3. The Americans, constitute
only about 40 per cent of the immigration,
but their number is increasing from year
to year. tho not so fast now as the imnai-
grafton from the British islands. Indus
trial depression in Great Britain is just
now sending an unusual number of i'm
migrants abroad, whereas Industrial pros

Prof. Breda's Letter.

journal readers who are interested In
the affairs of other nations should not
fail to read Professor O. J. .Breda's letter
from Christiania, published in yesterdays
journal. Professor Breda was for many
years professor of the scandinavian Ian
guages and literature in! the University
of Minnesota, but has now for several
years resided in his native country, from
which he came to America in 1884. His
letter gives a remarkably clear and concise
account Of Norwegian political history in
recent years. -. ~ ss..--. !. s....,... .,s-s>.
The most interesting portion Of the let
ter, perhaps, is the account of the fool
ish enmity that exists In Norway against
Sweden and the manner in which 1t has
been kept alive It seems almost incred-
ible that MI. Stang should have been able
to secure large appropriations for prepa-
ration for a war with Sweden, and act
ually erect no less than thirty-two forti-
fications on possible lines Of attack from
Sweden. If ever there were two nations
that needed to realize that there Is
strength in union they are Sweden and
Norway. 1t is to the credit of the Nor
| wegian people that when it became known
that Stang was actually planning frat
ricidal war with Sweden, there was q
practical unanimity Of feeling, outside. OF
certain class of jngoes, that war with
Sweden was not wanted. The. realization
of how close war was under Stang has
led to reaction which has been evident
in numerous demonstrate Of friendship
between the people of the two, nations.
Professor Breda's letter is also, very in
teresting and instructive in its account o.
the causes of increased Emigration from
Norway to the United States. Heavy
taxes, business depression, lack of oppor.
tunity are driving thousands of young
men and women from the native land tt

tho the struggle is fierce there is still ar

MANY PERSONS INJURED.
Runaway Horse Creates Panic on
Streets of New York-One
Man May Die.

New York, Sept. 15.-At least so per-
sons have been injured, one fatally, by a
horse that was being broken to harness
in Brooklyn. Women and children fed
in terror, but some not quickly enough
to escape the hoofs of the animal.
The screams of the panic stricken
women and children and the shouts of
the men who were trying to subdue the
horse attracted large crowd and sent
the police thither on run in the belief
that riot was in progress.
George Lane, the only person serious
ly hurt, had gathered three small chill
dren in his arms and was running away
from the maddened animal when he was
knocked down. The children were
slightly hurt, but Lanes skull was
crushed and he probably will die. The
horse after dashing through several
streets collided with a trolley car and
was knocked down.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. Sept. 1.-THE
extraordinary session of congress-
which will be called for the enactment
of legislation making operative the
Cuban reciprocity treaty will be con-
vened on Monday, November 9. That
is learned on good authority. The presi-.
dent, it is said, has abandoned the idea
which was suggested several weeks ago
OF calling special session early in Oc-s
tober. 1t is not expected that the formal
call for the session will be issued until
after the president shall have returned
to Washington.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion Of an October session of con-
gress came from prominent senators
who warmly advocated it's adoption, the
proposition was not received with favor
by members of congress generally. The
idea OF session in October was opposed
particularly because it would oblige
senator's and representatives to leave
their states and districts in the midst of
a campaign which to many of them and
to their party was Of vital Importance.
No definite agreement yet has been
reached as to the character of the finan-
cial legislation which may be enacted
at the approaching session of congress.
Indeed, it is not certain that an agree
ment can be reached between the two
branches of congress whereby any spe-
cial legislation can he enacted. 1t may
be that solution of the problem, which
Is alike complex and perplexing, will be
reached before the converting of the
extraordinary session, but even that is
by no means assured.
