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.

which show» what a violation of the
legal rights of accused persons the so-

Where an officer, having a prisonei

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

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.

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.

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.

it she took the veil and joined the con

this wise: Good times bring bills,

“I can’t remember the time when
we fellows have been called upon to
change as many bills as we have han

of these public servants one day last
week. “Of course there are no hard-

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.”
