J, WHEN DOGS ARE SICK. The Way to Give Medlelne to Theae Highly Sensitive Patients. In all treatment of a sick dog rewember you are dealing with e highly •enaitive and nervous patient. Be very gentle, avoid roughness or anything likely to alarm him. In giving him any liquid medicine do not open his mouth, but, placing him between your knees, with his face looking in the same direction as your own, gently raise hie jaw and. pulling his lips away from his teeth on one side of his mouth, to form a cup or funnel, very slowly pour from bottle or spoon the quantity he is to have into it Keep his bead raised for a minute or two and if be does not swallow the dose insert a spoon between bis front teeth. This will have the effect of drawing off his attention from the medicine and be will usually swallow at once. If the dose is a pill, bolus or anything solid, hold bis head the same way as before mentioned, but with the left hand under lower jaw, press firmly on each side with thumb and finger at the junction of upper and lower jaws. This will usually cause him to open his mouth, when the dose sbo Id be put into the mouth as far back as possible over the tongue (or he will spit it out) and close the jaws somewhat sharply, and in most cases the deed is done. If any trouble arises with the action of his front paws this may be got over by wrapping him round with a shawl or coarse apron. When once you have got into the way of it. you will be surprised how simple it is. lam quite sure a practiced owner or kennelsnian would dose a dozen dogs while a novice was making a bungle over one.—" All About Dogs,” by Charles Henry Lane. THE COLLAR BUTTON. ]<• Blemtiinfcm Realized Only by Those W hti Hate Lived WHiioot It. "In looking over a trunk full of old truck the other day,” said the elderly man, “I came across a lot of old shirts with the buttons sewed on. and as 1 looked at them I realized anew what the collar button means to humanity. There have beeu greater inventions, eure'.y, but not many that have conferred a more unmixed blessing on mankind. "The younger person of today, accustomed to the collar button always, cannot realize what it was to be without It. He can never know what it was to have shirts wi4h the buttons sewed on—or not. as the case might be. Not so very many years ago. when the collar button was yet comparatively new, before persons had come to keep, as everybody commonly does now. a lot of buttons on hand, the man who bad lost his collar button thought himself entitled to the sympathy of his fellows, but wrung as he might be by that loss he could not even guess at the anguish that in the sewed on button days tilled the heart of the man who, when be came to put on bls last clean shirt, found that key button, the one on the collar band, most important one of all, gone entirely or only just banging by a thread! "I knew a man once who had this happen to him and didn’t swear. That was the only great thing he ever did, but I have always thought that that alone was enough to stamp him as a most extraordinary man.’*- ~ — nitebed the Bishop. “I remember once driving across the country with Bishop ,” writes Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady of “A Missionary In the Great West” In the Ladles’ Home Journal, “while d'scussing the nature of the soul. That is. the bishop was I was only prompting by a question now and then. We were on the rear seat of a wagon, with the driver on the front seat. It was a very dark night. In the middle of the bishop's exposition the wagon took a wild plung“ there was a crash, and over we went Into the muddy ditch. " 'I beg your pardon, gents!’ said the driver, who had retained control of the horses as we scrambled to our feet. ’I was so Interested In bearln the than discuMsin my Immortal goal, which 1 hardly ever knowed that 1 had one before. that 1 clean forgot where we was at d drove you plump Into the ditch.’ ”

DEADLOCK IN PEKIN PERPLEXING INTERNATIONAL PROBLEM IS YET FAR OF A SOLUTION. THE POWERS ARE MOVING SLOWLY Germany Thought to Bn Endeavoring to Introduce a New Complication By Developing Further Movements of Offense In the Orient—America's Attitude Firm. Washington, Sept. 11. —Late developments in the Chinese situation point to a speedy withdrawal of the United States tigops from China. Gen. Chaffee has added the weight of his opinion to that already entertained by many officials here. The conditions reported by Gen. Chaffee appear to warrant the conclusion that Mr. Conger will speedily leave Pekin for one of the ports on the coast, where he can act more effectively, and that the United States troops will not respond to the German invitation to make a further offensive campaign outside of Pekin, it is believed that the objects that remain to be accomplished can be secured without further military operations. so fur as the United States troops are concerned. No confirmation is at hand here of the report that Great Britain and Germany have joined in an agreement to remain together in Pekin regardless of the attitute of the other powers. Should this be true the fact doubtless would hasten the rearward movement of the American troops for there is a firm determination to avoid becoming involved in any clash between the powers, such as might reasonably lie expected to follow the execution of this reported British-German programme. If there have been further responses to Hie Russian note relative to evacuation. their report can not be ascertained. This delay no longer interferes with the executkm of the American policy. The state department has a reasonably accurate understanding of the attitude of even those powers that have not made formal resiamses to the Russian note so that the mere written record of their views is not of importance. The part of the problem relative to withdrawal that remains unsolved is the best mtans of securing guarantees for the attainment of the few objects set out in Secretary Hay's note of July 3 which have not yet been secured. Possibly guarantees must be obtained from two sides; from the Chinese government as to the security of American treaty rights and tlie creation of a claims commission which shall provide for the payment of indemnity for the losses suffered by American citizens and for the expenditures on account of the Pekin relief expedition. 1 hen it is entirely possible (hat it may be regarded as necessary if any of the allies refuse to leave Pekin and persist iu a war of conquest that the interests of the United States in the matter of trade, of the "open door" and of all the rights now guaranteed to us in China by treaty be made a matter of special agreement between the United States and these waring powers. It does not follow that because the United States troops are to lie withdrawn this autumn from China that our interests will be left completely at the mercy of the other powers. On the contrary, such disposition will lie made of those troops that they with others, if necessary, can Im- returned to China in short order. To this end the entire army of Gen. Chaffee will lie quartered in some of the most pleasant portions of the Philippines. If they are wanted again in China they can be transported in a week thoroughly refreshed and fitted for effective action. Minister Wu has not yet been clothed with power* by his government to effect a settlement of the Chinese trouble directly with the Washington au thorities. He has received, however, an imperial edict, conferring on Li Hung Chang extraordinary power for the complete settlement of the Chinese trouble. It gives him authority to make any terms, acording to his own discretion, without referring them to the emperor. Fresh Bevelopinents Expected. London, Sept. 11.—Lord Salisbury will return to London Friday, when some fresh development in the Chinese situation is expected. Beyond Japan's reply showing her intention to continue to occupv Pekin, there is little to throw further light on the situation. From Shanghai conus a report that Li Hung Chang has dispatched an urgent telegram to the empress dowager at Tai Yuen Fu announcing the purpose of the allies to advance to Pao Ting Fu and perhaps even further. The Allied Forces. Berlin. Sept. B.—The German ad miral reports that the allied forces landed at Taku up to Aug. 25 were as follows: jOfrs.

Pictures Taken Five. Newberry, Ind.. ■Sept. 11. — Two strangers stopped at the hotel here, reproM'Uting themselves as farm ma chine agents, and they patronized the drugstores and invited everylaidy to join with them in intoxicants. They also pretended to be agents for a uew slot machine, which they exhibited ini the stores. It develops that there was I a camera which photographed every-1 thing exposed, nnd it is now said that the strangers were detectives in the employ of the Anti-Saloon league.

' PLEASANT PRISONS. THE SPECIAL ONES IN THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. Je They- Are Intended Particularly For Member* and gttber Perxiai Who Violate Parliament’* Own Dignity Rale* and Cmitonit. Few persons are aware that England's parliament has its own special prisons within its own precincts which are intended particularly for its own members and persons who violate its own dignity, rules and customs. Os course these prisons seldom are used now, but they have been in the past, and not so very long ago, and may be again. The house of commons has one set and the house of lords another. The commons prison is a little way up in the Clock Tower. Here are two sets of prisons, intended only for the accommodation of one prisoner each, one set being a little higher up in die tower than the other. Each set consists of a sitting room and two bed rooms, the former being a nice, comfortable room about three by five yards, with a neat carpet and chairs good enough for anybody. The extra bedroom is not Intended for the prisoner or for any friends whom he might desire to put up for the night, but is the sleeping apartment of the official who looks after him during his Incarceration. This man is usually the supervisor of badge messengers, and, liesides looking after bis man, be is alsc bls servant fpr the time being, and waits upon him just like any other. He never need worry himself much upon the question of the possilk.ities of the prisoner’s escape, for the sergeant-at-arms is responsible, and inasmuch as the only way of getting to and from .he prison Is byway of this sergeant’s house and through it, the risk of such a thing ever happening is practically prohibitive. While he is there the prisons* ■wC.’.v has a good time. No restrictions as la hours are placed upon him. and he may rouse himself from his slumbers just when be feels most inclined and return to them in the same way. Practically the only thing he cannot do is to walk about outside just as he pleases, but be is permitted to take an hour and a half's exercise each morning and an hour in the afternoon on the terrace of the bouse, and the terrace, broad and long and with its splendid outlook upon the river, is by no means a bad place to take exercise. If he were left entirely unguarded, the prisoner might dive into the river and swim away, or, what would be simpler, hail a passing boat. So, just for precaution’s sake, a couple of officers accompany him while he takes these breaths of fresh air. He goes on Sunday to the church in Vincent square, and on these occasions also he has a couple of innocent looking attendants. Moreover, there is no question of so many ounces of bread and meat, but if he has the money to pay for it he may feed himself upon the choicest viands that the most cultured palate could suggest. The house of commons has a first class restaurant, where the hungry M. P. may dine as well as he could anywhere iu London. Each day the dishes which the kitchen has prepared are Indicated on a menu which is brought up to the prisoner, and he ticks off anything for which he feels a fancy, and It is brought to him. The only drawback from his point of view is that the bill is presented to him just as it would be anywhere else, and in the event of his refusing to pay up he w«ul<l eventually be served with a court summons. Among the occupants of the Clock Tower have been the late Charles Bradlaugh, who found himself consigned thither on account of a little difference with Mr. Speaker on the subject of the parliamentary oath. When Northampton returned Mr. Bradlaugli to parliament, be was not allowed to take the oath nor the substituted process known as affirmation. Mr. Bradlaugb however, secured a New Testament und took a self administered oath, after which he proceeded to the next step of signing the roll. He refused to withdraw when the speaker requested him to do so. and consequently the sergeant-at-arms took charge of him. and to“the Clock Tower prison be went. When the erection of the Tower bridge w«s being considered, a statement wax made that the Tower bridge bill comr.Jttee was subject to bribery and corruption—a serious charge. Two men responsible for It were pronounced to have comuiltted a breach of privilege, foe the bouse is very sensitive upon such matters, and the speaker issued a summons for their appearance. One of them, Mr. Ward, gave himself up without delay, and he got seven days In the Clock Tower prison. The other offender, after a little delay, was captured nnd was for a brief period boused at Newgate. The first M. P. Imprisoned In the present house of commons was W. Smith O'Brien. One day In IS4C he committed contempt of the house by A-clinlng to sit upon a certain committee. Consequently be was sent to prison during the few weeks that the com- ' mittee deliberated. This time, how- ! ever, te was uot sent to the Clock I Tower prison, which was not finished ' bnt did bis durance In the cellar of the house. A Scotch In many parts of Scotland it used to be the custom to place on a man’s tombstone the symbols of bis trade. Thus a sugar cane would decorate the grave of a grocer; an ax and saw, with hammer and nails, would t>e found on that of a carpenter, an awl and a bami mer on a shoemaker’s grave, and so on. The sorrow of yesterday is as nothing; that of today Is bearable; but that of tomorrow is gigantic, because InI distinct—Euripides.
