Pekingese Dog Favorite
of the Chinese Rulers

One of China's three contributions
to the dog fancy is the haughty-ap-
pearing little Pekingese. This wad-
ding little ''kou." as dog is known
in that land is one that has been
100 per cent pure-bred throughout
the centuries, writes George Butt in
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Pekes were the coveted court dogs
in the regimes of Chinese emperors.
They were once the pampered pets
of the mandarins, and perhaps that
is the reason of their arisocratic ex-
preston. elbows and pugs are the
other two dogs which originated in
China.
The Peke's luminous eyes, set far
apart upon his broad skull, serve as
a mask OF his real disposition. He
is a jolly fellow and faithful Be
cause of his diminutive size the
Peke has sometimes been wrongly
called delicate. However, he is not
by many miles, because he is one
of the Sturdiest of toy dogs.
Pekes are active, they are strong
for their size and would this dog be
larger he would be fitted for police
work. The Peke has a massive coat
for a small dog. The frin of soft
hair around his collar suggests a
lion. In fact, in his native China,
the dog has been called the little
lion dog" That was probably due
to the fighting heart of the dog.
Pekingese were first imported to
England from their native land.

Chambers, Horse Disease,

Few equine diseases are commu-
nicable to man. Chambers is the
most common one Extensive out
breaks occurred in the great armies
Of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth
centuries when, for the sake Of
horse. kingdom might be lost or
won. Chambers is characterized by
ulcers in the nose, which sometimes
spread to the lungs or intestines.
To humans it may be deadly, though
IN horses it tends to become chronic
and not necessarily fatal, according
to Victor G. Heiser, M. D., in Col
ier's Weekly.
Another disease the horse shares
with man is anthrax, although cat
tie and sheep are far more subject
to 1t. Direct contact is the only
method Of transmitting anthrax. But
once the soil where the animals
have pastured is infected, 1t may
remain so for years unless prompt
steps are taken.
In human beings anthrax begins
as an infiamed pimple with a hard
center and a gradually. extending
red zone Of Inflammation around It.
The enormous carbuncle, burning
like little coal, as the Greek deri-
walton Of its name implies, extends
into the deeper structure below the
skin, far into the connective tissue.
The patient is simply overwhelmed
by the poisons and the high fever.
Farmer George Washington. at the
beginning Of his first term, devel-
oped one of these on his leg and we
almost lost our first President.
Anthrax has the distinction of be-
ing the first bacillus to be definitely
associated with the cause of a spe-
cific disease. 1t is easily stained
and, because of its great size, was
also one of the first in which the
great Koch recognized the reproduc-
tive spores, the little nucleoli in
side the bacilli plainly visible under

PiccOlO, Old Instrument

A German invention, the piccolo
is just about 400 years old. But its
ancestry goes much further back.
For, as the name indicates, it's a
little flute" and flutes were prob
ably the first musical instruments.
Flutes were popular in ancient
Greece, where, legend has it, they
were invented by Athena, goddess
of wisdom. The story goes that
Athena threw her creation away
after seeing in a stream how her
face was distorted while playing.
But the flute came back when an.
other god, Marsyas, found it and
became proficient at it.

friend of the Saviour.
Note how closely this friendship
is linked with assurance and power
in prayer. Dr.. Gray points out that
there is nothing in this sublime
discourse Of more practical value
than what it teaches about prayer.
See l4:l3; 1916; l6:2S-27. To ask In
Christ's Name is as though He asked
Himself with all the assurance Of
answer which such fact implies.
This is the privilege of the true be-

Christ's body and of Him only, and
it is a revelation of truth which
Christ at no time had made known
to His followers until now"

boys and girls in school on a kind
of slate made Of bamboo rods. Num-

DOWNRIGHT. 1887, for this Newspaper
bv Central Press Association

In Budapest, which has more duels
than any other city in the world, po-
licemen carry swords instead of pis-
tolls.
George H. Barnes, Philadelphia his
torial, sheds new light on the origin
of the major party symbols in refer
ring to a recent statement. f
"It is difficult to perceive how the
Mast cartoon of Jan. Is, 1870, could
have been construed as intending that
the jackass was to depict the Demo-
cratic party. The inscription on its
body was "Copperhead Press" There
was a number of Democratic papers
that had upheld Lincoln, but, there
were other papers of that party, and
some independent papers, that had
demanded that the war should be
terminated, though it would result in
disunion. The cartoon bore the title
"A Jackass kicking a dead lion,' the
latter bearing the name Edward M .
Staunton, Secretary of War, who had
recently died.
"The cartoon of Nov. Z, 1874 de-
picts a jackass wearing a lions skin
bearing the word 'Caesarism,' a col
lar worn by the jackass is inscribed
N. Y. Herald and the animal is
shown to be braying against the pro-
posed nomination of Grant for third
term. In the background is an enor-
nous elephant inscribed Republican
Vote that elected Grant in 1872 and
was intended by Mast to indicate the
futility of opposing Grants efforts to
secure the nomination. In that car
toon appeared, apparently Nast's first
reference to the Democratic party
and it was portrayed as fox with a
collar inscribed dec. part" the
face of the fox resembled Samuel J.
Tilden."
Queries, reproofs, etc., are welcom-
ed by George H. Barnes.

the location of any store at any par
ticular place.
1t can remove officers employed or
elected by the counties, but cannot ap-
point officers and can remove them
only Gin case of violation of the terms
of spirit of the Act"
About the only original jurisdiction
given the State board is it's power to
require the use of a uniform account
ing system in the operation of all
county stores set up under the act.
Too, it can gr; Mt, or refuse to grant,
permits to do business in selling Ii
quor to the county stores and it can
issue permits for the establishment
of warehouses for the storage of al
coholic beverages in the State.
All in all, it seems that the county
controllers conceded to the state con-
trollers only such powers as would
also necessarily be implicit in any
state board. The county men feared
the creation of gigantic state ma
chine built up on the power to pur-
chase liquor. Past history has shown
that the power to purchase is the
lever by which political power is ex-
erted and the buildup of vast poll
tical machine almost invariably fol-
lows on the heels of grant of too
great power to purchase
The system now operating in seven
teen counties will be little affected
by the Act, because the setups now
existing will be automatically validat-
ed and extended until 1885, One of
the chief fears of county men was
that existing liquor stores would be
closed up pending another election or
pending appointment of new set of
officials.
AS to the method of electing coun-
ty boards, too, the county controllers
are quite well pleased. In liquor
store counties the boards have been
named by the county commissioners,
but there was just about no opposi-
ton at all to the plan to have them
named at joint sessions of county com
mlssioners, boards of health and board
OF education. This provision, canny
polite ans point out, insures against
Republican control of liquor stores
even in Republican counties

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. g.
The best all-round All club record in
North Carolina-that's the achieve
ment that won for Marvin Foyles, of
Lenoir County, a four-year scholar
ship at State College.
The scholarship was awarded by
the Chilean Nitrate of Soda educa-
tional bureau to the North Carolina
All club member making the best
record over a period of three years
or more, said l.. R. Harrill, All club
leader of State College.
Foyles was selected on basis of
his production record in club projects
his leadership activities in his club
and other organi ations, and his re-
cord as a high school student, Harrill
/ added.
At the age of IL, Foyles joined All
club in Lenoir County and has con-
tinued in club work for the past eight
years. He has completed six corn
projects, three tobacco projects, and
| one forestry project.
HIS average corn yield per acre has
been 44.5 bushels raised at an average
It of 1875 cents bushel. This yield
was more than twice the average yield
for the county and the State. He has
made s569.03 from his tobacco pro-
jects $322.41 of the amount being
mad3 last yer.
AS an act 2 club member and a
leader, Foyles has been selected to
represent his club at county camps
md State 4-H short courses at State
College. For three years he was a
member # the Lenoir County seed
judging lam that won third, second
and then first place respectively in
the annual seed-judging contests at
State Fair.
He has served as a club leader, vice
president, and president of the Wheat
Swamp All club. He has also held
off c1al positions with the Grange in
his community and has represented
it at two State Grange conventions.
In 1885 he was awarded a one-year
college scholarship in the State All
corn-growing contest, and he won the
State leaders, medal for the best in
dlvidual record submitted at the State
All short course in 1886. He was one
OF four North Carolina club members
selected to attend the National All
summer camp in Washington last
June. :"

REMEDIES FOR FLOODS.

To the Editor:
No one seems to know what to do
about the floods devastating the land
Tor miles around the BIZ rivers. Of
course there are ways to prevent all
this. l think l will go to Washington
and tell Congress rome of my plans
for preventing such wholesale destruc-
ton of crops and property. I give you
an outline of my ideas.
Here is Plan No. l. Next year be-
fore the rainy season, install millions
of sun glasses over all the rivers so
the sun will cause the water to boil
and then evaporate. It will go up and
come down perhaps in some places
where water is needed, New York for
instance. They need more water there.
and more Eoap also.
No. here is plan No. g. When all the
rivers begin to rise, drive all the COWS
to the streams to drink up the water
and have the railroads l-ring millions
of tons of salt from the sea to feed
the COWS. If they can't keep pace with
the rivers rise, give them more salt.
This plan will help the railroad just
as the first plan will help the glass
makers. Now, if Con 5ress, while they

are appropriating, will not set aside
SO cents for this arrangement, sug-
gest Plan No. 3, as follows:
Send billions, not millions, of men,
but billions to all the rivers to sink
the river beds down will say fifty
feet lower, that would employ every
body that is out of work, and instead
Of people fishing with a 10-foot line,
they would have to have one a 100
feet long and that would help those
who sell fishing tackle, and if Con-
gress doesn't think this feasible, let
the river beds stay at their present
level and raise the balance Of the
country Now, if some of these. things
don't work, I don't know what will.
