a Scotch Collie's Religion.

At the disruption in 1S43 the bulk
of the shepherds joined the Free kirk.
But one collie neld oy the Establish
ment principle, and refused to come
out" Every Sabbath he went alone
to the Established Church, where he
had been wont to accompany his mas
ter. His master refused to coerc2
him. INA, na," he said, hes a wise
dowg: I'll no NEEDLE wi his conv'c-
tions." The colllie's adherence to the
Establishment had, however "a disas-
trous end. He was accustomed to lie
during the sermon on the pulpit stairs,
no doubt better to hear the discourse.
Below him were placed the long stovs-
pipe hats of the elders. On one un-
fortunate day he fell asleep, rolled OF
his step and managed to get his head
firmly fixed inside one of the hats.
Bitterly mortified, the dog fed from
the kirk, and ever afterward, as his
master said, mad nae trokihgs wi re-
leegion. The Spectator.

TORoGGANlNG IN THE ALPS.
Slide Upon Which Record OF Almost
Mile a Minute Has Been Made.

St. Moritz is one OF the highest vii
lages in the Engadine, having an alt!-
tude Of about 5000 feet, and is a great
centre Of winter sp.rts: it is conse-
queatly much freQuented by EngliSa
and other nationalities who enjoy the
sports of skating, curling, toboggan-
ing, skiing and handy, which can here
be obtained under the best conditions.
Good toaogganing may be had in other
places, but at st. Moritz it is carried
to a fine art, and only an expert can
expect to compete successfully on the
renowned "Cresta" toboggan run, with
its wonderful curves and banks The
name Cressa is derived from small
village of that name near the finish
Ct the course.
The course is little over three
quarters of a mile in length. with a
difference of elevation. from the start
to finish, Of about GOO feet; the grad
lent varies at different points, being
mos. steep at the church leap.
AS only one toboggan can occupy
the track at a time, the races are all
decided by the time taken to complete
the course. The record time from the
start to the finish is at present 81 6-lo
seconds, this entaiiing speed OF sixty
miles an four or more On the fastest
psrts. The curves of frozen snow are
built up with high banks accurately
shaped to allow the tobogganer to go
round them at the greatest speed, the
highest bank being about twenty-five
feet in height. These different. banks
have we'll known names, such as the
Battledore and Shuttlecock, Scylla and
Charybdis and Bulpett Corner. The
whole track is practically of ice, and
after passing the finish it has for
short distance a steep upward grad
lent, the great momentum obtained
carrying the tobogganer uphill.
The toboggans used are of lne,
skeleton" pattern, with steel run
ners, the tobogganer lying in prone
position and steering with his feet,
by means of spikes attached to the
toes of his boots. The principal race
run on the Cresta is the Grand Ma
tional, which takes place at the end
of February or beginning OF March,
and might be called the Derby OF to-
bogganing, competitors coming from
Davos and other places to take part in
this contest.-Electrical Review.

Goods Veils."

Little Mary had just come from the win.
dow with evident pleasure, and sat down
on her little stool at her papa's feet. 1t
was just at sunset. and most glorious
sunset it was. The Western sky was man
tied with clouds of the most gorgeous
hues, upon which the little girl gazed
with thoughtful pleasure.
Papa" she said at length. "do yol
know what think when sec those pretty
clouds?"
NO. What do you think OF them.
Nary"
IL always think they are Gods wells.
Doesn't He have beautiful wells, papa,
to hide Him from u.s.
True enough, my little one, thought
I. The clouds that veil Him from our
sight are now beautiful. There is a rain
bow on them if we will see it. They shine
with mercy and truth
Was that not pretty thought of little
Mary's? Does it not remind you OF the
time wnen the wells shall be parted. and
He shall come without clouds and every
eve shall see Him:

Why Old People Are Especially Liable
to Systemic catarrh.
When old age comes II, catarrha! dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh Is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
SO indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.

Jaoanese Imperial Mint.

One Of the earliest Western instf-
tutions established in Japan was the
Imperial Mint a. Osaka. and it haS
been one of the most successful and
useful. In the convention which was
signed at Yeddo, in 1866. between the
representatives of the Japanese Gov
ernment and those CT the foreign
Powers. the establishment of mint
was stipulated. The Japanese Gov
ernment purchased from the British
Government a mint, which had been
established at Hong long, but which
the latter had resolved to discon-
tinue.
The mint is now managed entirely
by japanese, and, judging from the
report of the director for the year
ended March 81, 1904. it maintains its
reputation not only for the amount OF
it's production, but also for the effic-
iency and exactness OF the work done.
The report. which is printed in Eng
lish. is a model of its kind. 1t states
that the coinage for the financial year
under review consisted of gold. silver
and nickel coins in six denominations,
amounting to 13,316,571 pieces, of the
value Of Is ,S01 ,0S6 yen, against $751;
12c pieces Of the preceding gear,
valued at SS,3Oo.5ss yen in 10 yen
gold and so yen silver coins. In addi-
ton to these, 5.1Sl,os6 pieces Of silver
ven were struck during the year.-En'

New She'll With a Tracer.

The artillery forces at Fort Riley
are experimenting with a new shell
fitted with what is known as the Sem
pie tracer. This tracer is small cyl
inder at the base of the shell, filed
with a composition which is ignited
by the discharge Of the gun.
In burning it traces the trajectory
of the shell from the gun to the point
OF fall. It furnishes quick means OF
determining range at night. Travelling
at about 1000 feet second, the shells
have the appearance of comets. At
the point of the fall the tracer leaves
the shell and shoots straight up into
the air about 100 feet and then, turR-
ing all aglare, shoots to the ground
like a shooting star over the spot
whers the shell strikes.--
