Some years ago a farmer in Wash- ington recognized a fine setter that had been given to him when a pup, in the He seized his lost dog, and was by the person who had got possession of him.

‘This is my deg, gentlemen, and you don’t take him from me unless you take my !ife at the same time.’

After this the oaths of the other party that he had raised the dog from uw pup were of no avail. The farmer took his dog.— forest and Stream.

Like his brother the Prinee of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh likes good things in reasonable quantity, and it a steady op- ponent of the German custem of turning dinner into a wearisome ceremony protract- ed beyond all reasonable limit by a eum- brous menu. At the little dinners at East- well there is no bewildering number of dishes, but a good, straightforward bill of} fare, which may be eaten through with per- fect enjoyment. Rare things, however ap- ! pear at these banyuets—dishes the mere] mention of which sets the gourmands agog —wild boar from the forests in which Ar-| minius brought the Roman legions te] naught. and sterlet, which is to the] sturgeon as our simnelt is to a whiting, ar-| rives «mn some lucky days at Kasitwell, packed on ice.

A strange story comes from India to the

effect that Keshub Chunder Sin, the found- er of the Brahmo Somaj, a Theistic organ- ization of the Unitarian sort, now claims to be a special prophet sent from God or an incarnation of the Deity. He isa man of high talent and learning, with great oratorical gifts. He has been an object of much interest throughout Christendom. His career will be watched more closely thanever. Remarkable events may follow his assumption of the character described. it is pot at allimprebable that he will win acceptance from vast numbers of his Hindoo countrymen.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has nsed Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup. Asthma,Pneumounia, and in fact al! throat and lung diseases. No per- son can use it without immediate relief. Three doses wiil relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to re- eomnme nd it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last yeur, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try soid at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by all Druggists.
