Robert 1.. Stevens Relates a Story g1; hi'
Sagacity ofa Shepherd Dog. '31."
John Todd, :1 Scotch shepherd, had 2
good collie, for which he had refused
forty pounds, as the dog was wortl
more than that to a “herd,” seeing he
did the herder‘s work for him. Robert
L. Stevenson, in an essay on the “Pas
toral,” tells how it happened'thatJolu:
received such an exceedingly liberal
offer for the collie. '
some sheep in Edinburgh, and, when
leaving the town, the road being crowd ,
ed, two .were lost. Tile loss of the
sheep was a reproach to John and 2
slur on the dog, and both were alive tc
their misfortunes. W'ord came after
some days that a farmer about Braid
had found a pair of sheep; and thither
went John and the dog to ask for resti
tution.~But the farmer was a hard man
and stood upon his rights. “How weri
they marked?” he asked. As John
had bought right and left from many
sellers, he had no notion of the marks
“Very well,” said the farmer; “then it's
only right that I should keep them.’
“Well.” said John, after a moment's
thought, “it’s a fact that I canna' tell
the sheep; but, if my dog can, will
ye let me have them?” The farmer
, was honest as well as hard, and. be
sides, he had little fear of the ordeal
So he had all the sheep upon his farm
driven into one large park, and turned
John‘s dog into their midst. Thai
hairy “man of business’f knew his er
rand well. He knew that John had
bought two sheep. and he had leoked
on while the purchase was'made, and
to their shame, had lost them about
Boroughmuirhead. Without pause Cl
blunder he singled out, first one and
then another, the two waifs. It was
that afternoon the forty pounds were
offered and refused.
CURIQUS FEATURES OF LIFE.

study of a new profession is an unus-
ual thing, and the Maine medical
school of this place thinks it has the
only student of this age at present
.taking an undergraduate course in this

he receives his degree of M. D. will
have passed his sixtieth milestone. He
is a native of Dumfrieshire, Scotland,

18. He has been a Baptist minister at
Crow Harbor and other places in Nova
Scotla for many years. Within the last
four or five years he has been studying:

INVESTIGATION IN LONDON.
Ignorance ‘of American Geography—The
Decision of ‘the Consistory Court
“'hich Acted on the Petition
of Embassador Bayard.
26.—In consequence
London, March
I of the efforts of the government of
Massachusetts, the American Antiqua-
rian and Massachusetts Historical so-
cieties, the Pilgrim society of Plym-
outh and the New England society
of New York, supported by the desires
of the archbishop of Canterbury and
the bishop of London, the consistory
court of the diocese of London, assem-
bled today in the old chapel of St. Paul’s
cathedral to determine the question of
the restoration of the log of the May-
flower to the United States.
The chancellor 'of the diocese, Dr.
‘homas H. Tristran, Q. C., presided.
he United States embassy was repre-
Sented by Arnold Stratham, who open‘
ed the proceedings by reading the peti-
tion of Embassador Bayard on behalf
of the president and citizens of the
United States, which set forth the his-
tory of the book and the presumptions
as to how it came into the possession
of the see of London. It was stated
that a precedent to this proposed
friendly act of restoration was to be
found in the action of the Philadelphia,
library in 1867 in restoring five manu-
script volumes which were once part
of the archives of England, for which
Lord Romilly, the then master of the
rolls, formally expressed the deep
thanks of England.
Mr. Bayard’s petition was cordially
.indorsed by the bishop of London.
Mr. Stratham then called H. F. Lee,
legal secretary of the bishop of Lon-
don, who undertook in behalf of Mr.
Bayard to use every means in his pow-
er to safeguard the log and deposit the
same in Pilgrim hall, Plymouth, Mass,
or some other safe place selected by
the president of the United States, and
also to deposit a. photographic copy in
the registry of the diocese of London.
Mr. Stratham stated that this was an
unusual petition, not brought by a sin-
gle person, but supported by a large
body of public feeling and the president.
and numerous learned societies of the
United States. In short, he added, the
petition was brought by the whole of a.
great nation living in the greatest ami-
ty with Great Britain, and even with-
out Mr. Bayard’s undertaking he felt
sure that America would so treat it.
This was of world wide import, as it
would be safely transmitted to succes-
sive generations.
A Puzzling Question.
The chancellor then spent 90 minutes
in examing Mr. Lee, reading long ex-
tracts from the book, which he exam-
ined with a magnifying glass, debating
upon the obscure dates, etc. He asked
whether New England was part of
Massachusetts, and counsel and Mr.
Lee were unable to anSwer the ques-
tion. Thereupon the chancellor said:
“Is there nobody present able to an-
swer the question?” The question was
answered by the American press rep—
resentative. and the chancellor then
asked whether Plymouth was in Mas-
sachusetts and was informed that it'
was.
Later the chancellor read a long judg-
ment, during which he set forth that
the leg was part of large numbers of
manuscripts in Ful‘nam palace relating-
to the English possessions in the Amer—
ican colonies which, before the Declara-
tion of Independence, formed part of

“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg I ever saw. It. had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. , My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenqed to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It. began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to—day
a. sound and useful leg.
