POLICE DOGS FOUND USEFUL IN
HULL.
After Three Months Experiments Au-
thorities Decide to Considerably
Increase Canine Brigade.
EFrom the European Edition of the Herald.

London.-Police dogs have been tried at
Hull for the last three mouths with so much
success that the authorities have decided to
augment the force largely. The number of
thefts, attacks on night policemen and incen-
diary fires at Hull Increased so greatly that
the North Eastern Railway Company was
induced to introduce highly trained Aire-
dale terriers to assist the policemen patroll-
ing the docks in tracking Town thieves.
The dogs, says the Daily Chronicle, are
taught to obey the calls of small trumpets,
which the policemen carry.
How these dogs helped the police was
described at Hull Oh Saturday, when three
alleged shopbreakers were before the magis-
trates. A policeman called upon the prison
ers to stop, and on their refusing the officer
let loose an Airedale terrier. The animal
pounced upon one runaway. threw him down
and kept him prisoner until his human col
league arrived and arrested him. Two other
mon were caught in q refreshment house and
at the threat of he dogs being let loose upon
them quietly surrendered.
Inc prisoners were committed to the SEES
slon.-N Y. Herald, July nth.

A VETERAN OF THE SEA.

Completing the first half of his one nun
dred and fftieth round trip across the Allan
tic, Captain A. g.. Thompson brought the G.
f. Tietgen, of the Scandinavian-American
line, into port yesterday from Copenhagen
and scandinavian ports. The passengers ex-
tended their greetings to the veteran com
mander.
While Captain Thomson, who is ffty-one
years old, has met with many incidents at
sea, he has been singularly fortunate in avoid
ing accidents, and during his many trips
across the Atlantic his vessels have figured
in several rescues. Before the G. f. Tietgen
starts on her return trip a dinner will be
rendered Captain Thompson by the officials
of the steamship line and his friends.-Ujd.

"ReiOice in the Lord"

Why should we not rejoice in the
good things of God? If the day Is
pure and serene, we enjoy its glad
ness. Why should we not rejoice in
the serene light of truth that shines
from heaven upon us? We find joy
in the presence and cheerful greeting
of our friends. Why should we not
look up to heaven, whence so many
pure and most loving faces look upon
us with divine affection, and with
most tender desire to cheer and help
us?
Having an almighty and most low.
ing Father, in whom we live and
move and have our being, let us re-
joice in Him. Having most loving
Saviour, who has made Himself our
brother, and feeds us with His life,
we ought surely to rejoice in Him.
Having the Holy Spirit Of God with
us. making us His temples, and pour
ing His love into our hearts, we ought
certainly to answer His love and re.
joice in His overflowing goodness.
Rejoice in the Lord always, and
again l say rejoice. William Ber.

How to CONQUER Sin.

Sin begins in the heart. II the
thoughts are pure the life will be
blameless. The indulgence of sinful
thoughts and desires produces sinful
actions. When lust hath conceived
1t bringeth forth sin. The pleasur-
able contemplation of sinful deed Is
usually followed by its commission.
Never pause and consider the
pleasures and profit of any sin. Close
your mind against such suggestions
at once, as you would lock and bolt
your doors against robber. Let this
one thought, 1T Is wrong" end all
dalliance. If Eve had not stood par
leying with the devil, and admiring
the beautiful fruit, earth might have
yet been a paradise.
No one becomes thief, fornica
Tor, or murderer at once. The mind
must first be corrupted. The wicked
suggestion must be INDUCED and re-
volved in the thoughts until it loses
the hideous deformity and the antici-
pated gain or pleasure comes to out
weigh the evils of the transgression,
