A German shepherds, having had dif ficulty in getting dogs that were not lazy and pampered, the German Col lie club attempted to improve the breed. The best dogs in the country were collected and ured with wolves from the Ardeiuies, with the result that a stronger race of sheep dog> cam? into existence. Two specimen* of these dt>gs have been brought to this country by Samuel VV. Portyce, a St. Louis railroad man, who is a dog fancier. These dogs, says the New York Herald of recent date, are very much like the wolf in their ap pearance. They have the pointed ear, the keen eye and the restless ways of their wild ancestors. The elder of the two, Stella, is two years old and is of a tawny yellow color. Wolf is well-nained, for he has all the characteristics of his grandmoth er, a she wolf. He is nine month* old. Both of the dogs have been trained to take care of sheep, and they can round up a flock in short order. Like the wolf, they refuse tc sleep but in daytime and never sc happy as when circling around their charges at night. Bringing of the specimens to this country was attended with difficulty. They were purchased from shepherd» in the neighborhood of Mannheim, who were not inclined to part with them until a large sum had been of fered, as they said that animals ot any real value were scarce.

Here is a recent court decision in the court of appeuls of the District of Columbia, West vs. United States, which show» what a violation of the legal rights of accused persons the so- called ‘ »weatbox” methods of the po lice are: Where an officer, having a prisonei in custody, said to him: “You have been telling me a -ick of lies; now, you had better tell the truth,” where upon the prisoner made a confession, it was held that the confession was in voluntary, and it was error to admit it in evidence and to submit to the jury the question whether or not it was voluntary. Under the law, as properly administered, a confession, if forced, cannot be used against a per son charged with the commission of crime. The sweatbox method of ob taining confessions to ta used against the parties making them is not sanc tioned by the court. The court said that wprds of exhortation to a confes sion seemed often to be innocent enough, and cited the following, all of which had been held sufficient to vitiate the confessions. “You are un der suspicion and you had better tell all you know,” “It would be better for you to speak out,” “You had bel ter tell the truth” and “You had as well tell all about it.” * A naturalized citizen of the United States, D. Asadouriun, an Armenian, who is in business in < levtland, was locked up in Constantinople. Turkey, charged with conspiracy. Through the office# of aome Turkish bus hie»« men he was released under $5.000 bonds, effective during his stay of 50 days. He has just returned to his home here, reports a Cleveland ex I change. Concerning his experience he said: “I went there on business. As soon as my presence became known the of ficers came for me. They questioned me. asking if I spoke the Armenian language. This I denied; because had I admitted it I am sure that I would never have returned to America. The Turks fear American Armenians. They think that in America the peo ple have an advanced knowledge of high explosives, which might be used to blow up the sultan. They suspected me of being in sympathy with the Ar menians. After putting me in prison they had some men come into my cell and tell funny stories in the Armenian language. They wanted me to betray my knowledge of it by laughing. But I didn’t laugh, for had I smiled I would not be here now to tell the tale. The stories were very funny, but I managed to keep a sober countenance in spite of my wish to laugh.” TWO DECADES OF BIO SHIPS. Many women at the east have taken of late to a new tipple imported from Holland aud called oil of roses, re ports an eastern exchange. It is a cordial in name only. It is none of the sticky, sirupy components of the other insipid cordials, but has a pe culiar, almost biting taste that appeals to the feminine palate. This cordial is flavored with bride roses and is the invention of a firm in Amsterdam that vtas organized' in 1575. A bushel of selected roses are crushed into a press and the essence is extracted by a complicated system. This distilla tion is enlivened with alcohol and other spirits, but naturally the flavor of roses is responsible for the increas ing popularity of the drink. The cor dial tastes like a rose smells. The color is pale pink and as the distilla tion of “huile de roses” requires an enormous amount of roses and great care, this is the most expensive cordial on the market. A mere tablespoonful for 25 cents. The firm in Amsterdam exports this liquor in genuine Delft jugs that the purchaser retains, and the average woman derives much pleasure taking home the tiny jug from which she has quaffed the de lightful cordial. It may be said of this new tipple, however, that it induces inebriety just as quickly as a whisky toddy, cocktail or “sour,” and the resultant headaches are just as distressing.

Buying Pure Bred Cattle 1904 A striking illustration of the rapidi ty with which marine architecture haw developed during recent years is to be had in the case of the old Anchor liner City of Koine, which was built in 1881, and for 12 years enjoyed the distinction of being the largest At lantic steamship. She is being towed now in England to an obscure port to be broken into junk, says the Wash ington Star. It is witn difficulty that one recalls the City of Koine as a holder of records of any kind, al though when she was in her prime her name was familiar to the people on both sides of the ocean. When she was displaced from top rank in point of size by the Lucania and the Campania, in 1893, there was much marveling and many predictions that these vessels would for a long time hold the head of the lists. But once the era of big vessels opened it produced a rapid suc cession of “largest ships,” and during the past five years there has been such an impetus in the steamship building line, especially in Germany, that the announcement of another monster ex cites comparatively little attention. Just at present the Oceanic and the (. eltic are the largest vessels in serv ice. and alongside of them the City of Rome would seem a pygmy. A hoat of quaint old customs, says the London Daily Mail, linger round and about the famous “King’s Guard” at St. James palace, but perhaps none is more curious than that which de crees that his majesty’s health shall not be drunk at dinner, except wJien the Scots guards are on guard. The omission, when one reflects that this one toast, even when no others are drunk, is invariably honored every evening at every regimental mess and guardroom dinner throughout the British efripire, is sufficiently strik- ing. The explanation lies in the fact that the regiment from across the border was at one time suspected of a leaning toward Jacobitism, and- so the officers were specially ordered to drink his majesty’s health after din ner, those of other corps being for bidden to do so in order to make the enforced loyalty of the Scotsmen stand out in clearer relief. It was also ordered that they should not be allowed to use finger glasses after dinner, lest they should drink to “the king over the water,” and finger glasses are, in conse quence, tabooed there on these ocea- sions to this day.

She is the possessor of more elephants than any other An glo-Saxon or European in the world, for more than one of her dusky ad mirers has sent her ladyship an ele phant, sometimes two. »ays London Household Words. One of these is an immense creature, with the kind of wonderful sagacity about which we all read in school readers in the days of our youth. Its unwieldy form, with Lady Curzon in a white and gold how- dah on its back, is often to be seen in the native bazaars, and when the beast sees anything for which it has a fancy that article is promptly handed upto its mistress. One day last year he made a very queer present, nothing less than a ¿mall brown baby two or three years old. It was the son of the great beast’s keeper, and no sooner did the elephant see it trotting along with its mother than he seized it gen tly and lifted it into the air. The next moment Lady Curzon was gazinginas tonishment upon a small brown baby slothed in a string of Ucads. Needless to say, it descended a richer and hap pier baby. I Salaries of actors vary from almost nothing to $500 a week, with a few exceptions that go above that, writes F. E. Fylea, in Leslie’s Monthly. I doubt though that any supporting actor outside of Weber A Fields’ com pany gets more than $500. Those that go above are stars, many of whom receive a fixed salary and a percentage on the profits. A female star who crowded a New York thea ter the season before last for six months received only $150, while her leading man was getting $250. But she was a risky venture for her man ager, who lifted her from a minor position to stardom, and a failure would have cost him much. Many stars are their own managers, and engage a business man to direct their affairs for a salary, as they would a supporting actor. The gains of actors are absurdly exaggerated in the public mind, and even among themselves they endeavor to keep up the deceit. A reason that so many English actors axe imported is that players of the first class in London receive a third*less than equally tal ented and well-known Americana. Kick n« Manners. Are bad manners on the increase among us?

One of these gentlemen had gone so far aa to roll up his sleoes and take . ff his collar, a pair of red suspend« ers being much in evidence. There were also three women in the same car who diverted theinsehes of gloves nnd hats with the utmost unconcern, and who were possibly prepared to go further, had the thermometer been a few degrees higher. Five, or even three years ag«». such spectacles were confined to the smokiug car and to the day coaches of immigrant trains. Licky O1N Wald«.

Bor*4a*s Later Years. In the National library of Florence an Italian historian has found a doc ument which contains many interest ing and hitherto unknown facts in regard to the latter years of the fa mous Lucrezia Borgia. According to it she took the veil and joined the con gregation of the Brothers and Sisters of Penitence, which is better known under the name of “Tertiaries of the Order of St. Francis.” She received the veil from the vicar general, Ludovico de la Torre, and Giovanni Gonzaga wrote to her uncle that during the last ten years of her life she wore a penitential shirt. She died in 1518 and was buried in the robes of her order. ¿■¡ tty Care* D?a/*e««. Here is a novel cure for deafness. According to several Dutch papers a deaf woman, who resides at Krom- menie. had a quarrel a few weeks ag<i with some of her neighbors, and as a result got into a violent passion. As she is 70 years old. her friends feared that this sudden ard terrible outburst of anger would injure her. but instead it completely cured here of h«r deaf ness. Starvia* tn Galicia.

Shi- The only persons in town who have a grudge agains| prosperity are street car conductors. Their aversion to prosperous conditions is explained in this wise: Good times bring bills, bills mean tha handling of much change, and change means woes innu merable on the part of the harassed conductors, says the New York Times. “I can’t remember the time when we fellows have been called upon to change as many bills as we have han dled in the past six months,” said one of these public servants one day last week. “Of course there are no hard- and-fast rules to go by in any business, but in general you can tell a man’s financial condition by the size of the coin with which he habitually pays car fare. Reckoning from that stand point, the times that are hard on the general public are clover for the con ductor. All he has to do then is to go around and gather in the five-cent pieces, and as a consequence our men tal condition is such that we appear really angelic. But just let a wave of prosperity strike the country and the passengers take a fiendish delight in pestering us with one and two-dollar bills. Two-dollar bills are the favorite street car currency these days, and to* I meet all the demands made upon my pocket I have to start out from the barns with about one-third my own weight in small change. I i WHEN PRETTY FEET SUFFER. i It is a pity that certain empl'oymenta deprive many women of their inalien able right to pretty feet. New York doctors protest that they do not find the situation among shop girls quite so deplorable here aa it is reported by a St. Louis specialist, but they ad mit that standing for hours at a stretch certainly does have a tendency to produce flatfootednesa, states an exchange of that city. “By this I do not mean that you will not find hundreds of pairs of pretty feet among shop employes,’’ explained one doctor. “Some of the prettiest feet in New York are this moment hid ing their charms behind the counters of our big stores, but some of the ug liest ones are concealing their deform ities in the same place. “Most people who are on their feet all day are bound to have trouble over the shape and size of their extremities. Those who stand fare worse than those who walk about, for the move ment and circulation tend to prevent the flatness which so many clerks complain of. For that reason, the waitress, for example, will find that her feet retain more of their natural virtues and. acquire fewer vices than the shop girl’s.” Ftorss The-t Newer Seo Dayll*tit. Down in many of the great coal mines of Pennsylvania are telephones, tool repairing establishments, black smiths' shops and various other insti tutions that the surface worker would never think of as connected with cav erns 500 or more feet away from day light.
