It's sectional!" Wo really must protest against the mischievous habits into whicli thc Victoria Colonist lias fallen. Because we suggested that a provincial university and model school located at Victoria would not be central, our cotemporary throws up liis hands and shouts "Sectionalism! sectionalism!" The cry, unless applied to his own proposal, is without application at all. Tiik Columiuan carefully abstained from naming any place as the proper seat of a university and model school. The cry of sectionalism could not, therefore, lio against it. But the Colonist's proposal contains the very essence of sectionalism, because it proposes at the outset that the university and model school shall lie located at Victoria! This is the only part of the scheme against which we offered any objection, although we arc not sure that the establishment of either of tho institutions mentioned would be justified iu ttie present circumstances of the country. If the Colonist had wished fairly to introduce the subject it should havo discussed it altogether apart from locality. Let it be first decided whethor or not we shall have a provincial university and model school, and then let us discuss fairly the question of location. But it does not seem possible for the Colonist to divest itself of sectionalism; hence, instead of proposing these institutions for British Oolumbia, it proposes them for Victoria! We venture to affirm that if it had been decided that these institutions were not to be located at Victoria our very sectional co- temporary would pover have mentioned them at nll. Dodging tlie Question. Our esteemed cotemporary, the Kamloops Sentinel, returns to the penitentiary discussion, and now declares that The Columbian' has beon "dodging the question!" Our purpose has been to prevent our inland cotemporary from "dodging," and we have endeavored to keep straight up to the point at issue. Our readers know better than to be led away by a plea so contrary to tho facts. But the Sentinel tells us now for tho first time thnt it didn't mean to suggest thc removal of tho penitentiary at all, or to have a new one erected in the interior. All it wanted was the establishment of a '•central prison," Well, being an irishman, we suppose our cotemporary should have the customary privilege of speaking twice before he is understood; but his lirst reference to the subject certainly led us to suppose that it was the penitentiary he was after. The discussion began at tlio time of Inspector Moy- tail's visit, and the Sentinel called his attention to the need of an institution (a central prison he now calls it) in ttie interior, and suggested that thc establishment of such an institution would obviate the necessity of enlarging tho penitentiary. Now, if our friend meant a central prison why should he bring tho matter bofore Mr. Moylau? All prisons are provincial affairs, constructed and managed by tlie provincial authorities, and with them Mr. Moylau has nothing whatever to do. Penitentiaries, on tho other hand, are administered altogether by tho federal government. The fact of our cotsuiporai-y alluding to the institution in such a connection, without (specifying precisely what sort of au institution lie meant, was enough to justify the conclusion we reivched, aud if wo misapprehended the intent of the article the responsibility undoubtedly rests with the Sentinel, In so far as the centre of population is concerned, our cotemporary absolutely shuts his eyes to the largo population of Vancouver Island, und forgets tliat the crimi mil population going from that region to the interior "central prison" would involvo a heavy cost for transportation. Onr Defences. Our esteemed cotemporary of ttie Victoria Colonist continues to discuss the location of Battery "C," but does not seem able to "C yawl beyond that battery. It is certainly amusing to observe how sensitive he is upon that one point, although almost every one of Ids battery articles contains the declaration that "the location of the battery is no longer matter for discussion," Whether it is or is not does not matter, our cotemporary discusses it all the same, and evidently feels t'Mt the declarations of Sir Adolplie Caron and Sir Hector Langevin uro not a final settlement of the question. Kir Charles Tupper declared over and over again that Port Moody was the terminus of the C. P. It., but everybody now knows that Coal Harbor is to bn the terminus after nil. Tho Colonist has fallen into two very foolish mistakes—it has got a notion that we have been advocating tho diversion of tbe battery from Victoria to Burrard Inlet, and it seems to think that its articles or those of The Columiuan may influence the military authorities in reaching a final decision, We contend that the location of the battery lias never been finally fixed, and wc are greatly mistaken if events do not demonstrate this to be a fact. The statements quoted from Hansard are no more a final disposal of tho battery than the statements of Sir Charles Tupper wero n final disposal of tlio terminus; and tho fact that Sir Adolpho Caron promised to make a personal inspection beforo coming to a final decision is of itself sufficient proof of this. If further proof wore wanted our cotemporary may find it in the fact that Sir Adolplie lias postponed his inspection, l'nd the telegram stating that no selection would be made till it was definitely known just whero the terminal works of the C. P. R. would be located. If the location of the battery tind been finally made, whnt possible influence can the terminal works of the C. P. R. lmvo upon it! But The Columbian has not attempted to divert the battery anywhere, or to throw any obstacle whatever in the way of the defence of Victoria and Esquimalt. Our cotemporary knows well enough that the discussion arose in the first place from nn interference with the location of Battery C on the part of the Victoria Board of Trade. We objected to that interference, and contended that the defences of this coast should be located at such places as tlie military authorities themselves thought best. In a mutter of such great national importance it is surely most unbecoming for either the press or the representative bodies of nny locality to be meddling for purely selfish motives. Lieut.-Col. Holmes, the highest military authority in British Columliia, had explicitly recommended that the battery be located at Burrard Inlet, nnd General (now Sir) Middleton, the highest military authority in Canada, hnd heartily endorsed lhat recommendation. Iri his report to the minister of militia aud defence, dated the 30th of December last, Glen. Middleton says: It has already boen decided tlmt an other Artillery School of Instruction shall be formed in British Columbia, aud _ would beg to urge the necessity of this behn; enrried out as soon as possible. The expected completion of the Canadian Pacific Kailway at the end of thia next yenr readers this more necessary than ever. Should Kngland unhappily be engaged ia hostilities which would necessitate tho despatch of troops to her eastern possessions, and the paBsage of tlie Suez Canal be debarred her, the Canada Pacifio Railway would become iier line of communication. From the remarks that fell from you at a speech delivered by you at Toronto 18th Dec, last, 1 understand the troops will be able* to be conveyed from Halifax to Vancouver in five nnd A half days, artillery, ordnance stores, kc, iu nbout eight days; and probably when the fast steamer system is established, infantry alone will be able to be transported to Yokohama in twenty-seven days or to Hongkong iu thirty (lays. The western terminus would thus become a most important strategic point. This terminus, I believe, it is now decided to fix at a spot in Burrard Inlet, called Coal Harbor, near Brockton point, where, I believe, most suitable positions can be found, not only for a barracks, but also for the headquarters of the district, and admirable positions for batteries ean bo found iu the vicinity, completely defending this inlet, which runs np to Port Moody. This selection of n spot for barracks, ko,, is not formed from personal knowledge of tho locality, bnt from a report, and the study of a carefully drawn innp, furnished by Lieut.- Col. Holmes, 1>. A. G., Ko. lt Dist let. I might add tliat tliere aro four reserves on the south sido of Burrard Inlot, two of whicli would be required at once, one of them tfmtaining tlie spot I have alluded to as suitable for n barracks, kc, nnd it would nppear ndvlstiblo to have their boundaries at once acciirniely surveyed and laid down, whicli could bo easily done now, as I nm informed that the Dominion government have a party of surveyors at work on.'lho lolct at the present moment. The advantages arising apparently from the selection of the ground near Coal Hnrbor, ns a sight of a barracks for the Artillery School of Instruction, nud for headquarters, nre as follows; flood wnter Is obtainable by digging a few feet, timber is in abuud* anco on tho reserve, a wharf could ho easily and cheaply built, as tho deep water comes up close to the north side; there is ample room for artillery and rifle ranges, brigade camps, kc. Ample facilities even at present exist at Granville for the furnishing of supplies, kc, and the town is suro to increuse as soon as tbe railway comes into operation. The place is more centrally situated than Victoria, which place, moreover, together with tho dry-dock nt Keqiilmalt, is always protected by a ship of war, mid a marine detachment quartered in the naval yard. This protection, perhaps, might bo withdrawn hy the Imperial government, Bhould our new battery and district headquarters be established there. nary doctrine that the defence of Victoria would bo nu adequate protection for thc whole province, it became diflicult to determine whether -selfishness or silliness' entered more largely into the material of wliich its editorial work-shop was constructed. There is not, a military authority anywhere that would commit himself to a proposition so manifestly absurd. Tho Colonist's second error is ail apparent belief that its declarations or the declarations of the Board of Trade will influence tho department of militia in posting the batteries. We hnve a higher opinion of tho department than that. Its decisions, if wisely made, must be influenced by tho reports of the officers, trained in military mutters, who have been entrusted with theso things. Its failure to act upon the advice of its military experts clearly implies a want of confidence in their judgment. But since thoy are appointed and dismissed nt tho will of the government, want of confidence would be followed by instant dismissal. The fact that Maj.-Gen. Sir Frederick Middleton and Liout.- Col. Holmes arc retained as military oflicers nnd advisers of the Canadian government implies that they retain tho government's confidence, nnd from this it ought to follow that their military recommendations will be adopted. This conclusion leaves tho case precisely where it ought to be—removed entirely beyond tho influence of political expediency and petty local nnd sectional do- signs such us hnve been put forward by the Colonist nnd Victoria Board of Trade. And beforo our intensely sectional cotemporary ventures tigain to rush into other follies it might be well for him to consider well the last sentence in tho extract from the militia report quoted above. asroTiOE.

On Wednesday afternoon, nt the invitation of Capt, Pittendrigh, inspector of fisheries for British Colnmbia, a number nf ladies and gentlemen paid a visit tu the provincial fish hatchery on the Fraser abuut 4 milea above thii oity, The party consisted of members of thu oity council and board of trade, together with a few other citi- Reus, so mn ladies, and a representative of Tm: Columbian. Both Oapt. Pittendrigh and Mr. Thos. Mowat, superintendent of the hatchery, accompanied the party. The str. Belle took thu party up to Haigh's wharf, and from the landing they walked to THE HATCHERY. Tho building is 40x110 feet, 2 stories high, and was constructed on a plan submitted to tho department by Mr. Mowat, It is situated very near a small stream of beautiful clear water which comes from somo springy ground and never dries up. From this stream water ia conducted in a wooden trough to the hatchery. Tho supply comes from a pond of considerable size formed, by a dam across the stream. This pond allows the sediment to settle out: of the water beforo it reaches the auuudiict. Immediately after passing tne dam the water goes thruugh a large filter made of charcoal, gravel and sund. This filter leaves it almost absolutely pure, but it is then taken to a water tank, running the whole length of the hatchery, where any impurities (lint may have escapod the filter will have a chance of being deposited, Experience shows that fierfeotly pure wnter ia nut as good for latching piirpoim as water in which there is a cerium amount of impurity- but, on the other hand, if the water coutuius much sediment it will bo fatal to the eggs. The natural HAiL'HINK QUOUNIM. of tho salmon are usually found where there is running water. A bar is generally selectud where tho current is comparatively swift, because the running water assists in excavating the hod. Here tho female fish digs a hole or "rid" from one to two feet deep and about two feet in diameter. This she accomplishes by a vigorous use of her tail to stir up thu sand aud gravel which is carried away by the current. Having completed the preparation of the bed, which occupies a week or more, she proceeds to deposit the eggs in this excavation. This operation requires frum 4 to 8 days, and during all the time the male tish guards the deposits from the attacks of trout that ure ever on the lookout for an opportunity to devour the ova. Only n small number of eggs are deposited at a time, and as soon as n deposit is made the male lish, which is always by, do- posits a portion uf milt over the eggs. Aa soon as the eggB are laid they begin to fill with water, and if they do not come in contact with tho milt within a minute after being deposited they cannot be fertilized aud are use Iubb. When tbe process nf deposit has been completed tho rid is covered up with gravel to thu depth of 12 or IS inches, and the eggs uro then left to hatch as well as thoy can. The period required for batching varies a great deal according to the temperature. In this process of fish breeding thero is A (1HKAT LOSS on account of many circumstances. First, while the eggs are being deposited many uf thom are carried away by tho current and lost. Of those that are retained in the rid many fail to come in contact with the milt and are good for nothing. Eggs nre very delicate, and require careful treatment; and when they are covered with gravel many of them are destroyed. In tho process of incubation it often happens that an egg will be attacked with fungus, and if allowed to como into contact with other eggs the parasitic growth will spread until tho whole Batch is spoiled, When the fry has been hutched in the rid, many of the young fish are so securely imprisoned by the superimposed gravel that they are never able to extricate themselves. Besides all those things the ever-greedy trout keep a vigilant eye upon both the eggs and tho young tish, and never miss a chance to appropriate as much of both as they can manage to get hold of. The result is that not more than from 7 to 10 per cent, of tho eggs deposited by tho Spring aalmon in their own beds ever come to maturity! In the hatchery, however, HETTKR KKSUI-TS aro reached. The process of artificial incubation is not very complicated, but it requires experience, judgment, and great care. The salmon are carefully caught and kept in ponds until they have matured. Then they are Stripped, and the eggs ure immediately brought in contact with the milt, both being mixed in pans with a little water. Great care and practice are necessary in stripping. If the eggs are taken from a fish even a few hours before maturity they will he spoiled. After being fertilized tho eggs are put into trays and laid in the water for half an hour, until they have absorbed as much as they need. Tho trays are then packed in damp moss and kept moist until taken to tho hatchery. IN THE HATCHEHY the trays, containing about 2,000 egga each, ure placed iu long troughs through which pure fresh water'is constantly running, and hero thoy remain three or four months, until hutched. During all that period thoy must be watched with the greatest care, All bad eggs must bo removed, and if through any cause the eggs become dirty they must be washed. The young fry aru firat seen curled up in the egg sack. Afterwards tho head sod tail appear outside the sack, and the egg forms the body of thu fish. From tho yelk the young fish derives its sole nourishment for from 5 to 8 weeks, when it hns attained its normal shape and is able to move about with freedom and forage for itself. Having arrived ut thin stage of development, the fry are carried in large cans to the Fraser whore they aro placed iu a sort of doublo scow, the inner ono being divided into compartments tilled with water. In these compartments tlio fish can be TRANSPORTED HACKLY to any part of the river nnd distributed wherever it is thought best to place them. They remain in fresh water from 12 to 18 months, when thoy nre from 0 to 7 inches in length, nnd make fur tho great briny ocean. From the timo of hatching it takes about 3 years for a male fish to mature, and 4 years for a female. In tho butchery the percentage of loss is vory muoh smaller than in the spawning bods. If 75 por cent, of the eggs aro successfully hatched it is a fair averago, but some hatcheries have turned uut its liiuh us 115 per cent. Lust yoar the Fraser River hatehcry yielded about 05 to 70 percent., whioh jb considered an excellent average for the first year. Since last year the dam has been muoh improved, a filter haB beun constructed, und other improvements made, and it is expected thnt it larger percentage of fish will bo obtained. Tho establishment seems tu be in perfect order, and everything abuut it indicates care and attention on the nurt of Mr. Mowat and those under liis direction.

(Correspondence of the (.'olumlilun.) Laat Friday ovening a large aud enthusiastic audience assembled in the Methodist church at Centrovillo to listen to an entertainment provided by the band of hopo under the nble leadership of Mra.

Aud when it is said that the baud comprises most uf the juvenile population of Centrovillo and its neighborhood, it will be seen thnt the number of caterers to this literary and musical entertainment was by no means inconsiderable or fow.

London, Oct. 17.—Prime Minister Salisbury has got the tory party in campaign trim. At the opening of the campaign the conservatives were in an apparently hopeless minority as ngainst tho united liberal fact ions. Theso factious wero indulging in u sort of "go us you pieasu" campaign und committing thein selves to all kinds of isms, Gladstone was at tbis timu enjoying hts vacation in Norway, nnd people supposed when he shuuld return and blow his bugle blast the liberals would cease their bickerings and closo up their ranks in solid array, He returned and gave his trumpet cull- It was followed by an unmistakable cessation of the noise of quarrels among his followers, but tho ranks did not close. Investigation showed that the factions leaders had gono too far with pledges and that many of thom could not decently recant and submit to the narrower policy adopted by the great leaders. Besides, THE GREAT L'JADKliS WHHE <}UARilKMN« among themselves concerning principles to bo advocated in the campaign. Gladstone came to the rescue and proposed a grand arbitration scheme. A committee of twolvohunorable gentleman was eluded from each of thn representative liberal clubs iu Lt.lidon in ordor that all shades of liberal opinion might huve.o, representation. This couthiittee was given power to choose botween tho liberal candidates where several wore dividing by contesting the sumo constituency and the voters were instructed to suppurt the candidates approved by tho arbitrators. For ovor a woek everything wont well and tho committee did a groat deal of work. Its decisions were respected and rejected candidates retired, But fur several daya past a different state of affairs has beon developed. Such.a number of provincial candidates have absolutely refused to abide hy tho decision of the committee that tho trouble has become serious, and a special committee has been formed, consisting of Lord Hartington, leader of the whigs; Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, leader of tho radicals; Hon. Samuel Morley, moderate; and Sir Henry .Tunics, attorney-general under Mr, Gladstone. It was calculated that no liberal candidate would have the temerity to Btand out against the decision of both committees and between them thoy would bB gradually able to eliminate all the elements of disunion from the parly. Uut the result has shown that Glad stono has adopted A VERY AWKWARD IMITATION of the American caucus Bystom. If tho committee hnd beou given the selection of candidates in the lirst placo no candidates would be soliciting tii liberal votos excopt those endorsed hy Gladstone, As it is we find liis caucus brought into boing after the candidates are nll up and making many ex-post facto decisions and ordering popular mon, deeply pledged and far advanced in their campaign work, to ignobly retire. The result is, of courso, thnt numbers of theae candidates refuse to accept tho caucus decision-! and persist in thoir candidatures. Mencu many Knglish provincial constituencies re- mum contested by four or five rival liberal candidates, each attempting to split up thu party vote, against a siii-.de conservative candidate in the sumo field. FuvncH's management of the Irish campaign hus been inure closely imitative of the American plan, and is correspondingly successful. There euu be no doubt that disunion prevails largely in the liberal party.

Co'nstaktinoi'lh, Out Hi.—Tho mn- biisjjadors have presented a nolo to the Porte, in which thoy say further time will havo to be afforded them so as to obtain a complete European understanding respecting' the ltoamelian difficulty, mid advise the Sultan to continue his pacific policy. They do not, however, dispute the right to send troops into Koumelin, to assert its right in that province. It is generally believed that the powers havo advised Bulgaria, Scrvia and Greece, mure strongly than heretofore, to remain quiet. The Porte's note regarding the armaments of Greece and Scrvia gave the powers ground to protest against their warlike attitude. The report that Greece had ottered to form an alliance with Turkey is unfounded. The ambassadors havo ndjourned their sittings, hut will reassemble shortly, when it is expected they will have received further instructions from their respective governments in relation to their final decision. The Forte considers the note of the ambassadors satisfactory, but has intimated that he will not recognize the Bulgarian union, nu mutter what tho ultimate result of thu conference may bo. Herr Von Rudiwitez, German ambassador, and M. Nelidoff, Russian ambassador, have refused to receive M. Petroff and M. Telmmakoff, delegates, who have boon commissioned by Prince Alexander to assure the Porte that peace and order reigned in Koumelia. A large force of Turkish truops have been ordered to advance in the direction of Nisaa, and a battlo betweon tho Servians and Turks is now imminent. St. Petkiwburu, Oct. 10. — The Joiirnai de St. Petersburg to-day, in commenting on the Bulgarian question, shows signs of impatience at the delay in settling the difficulty, and says Russia will not submit to the dictation of Karanolog, tho Bulgarian prime minister. If the warning of tho ambassadors to Prince Alexander to pacify Roumelia at the risk of losing the union does not make Bulgarians return to reason, the French conference to assemble shortly will settle the diffi culty on tlie same baais as the starling point in the present course of action. Biclokadk, Oct. 10.—Servia has protested against tho decision of the ambassadors on tho Koumelian question, nud has commenced military operations against the Bulgarians. A largo force of Servian troops at 5 o'clock yosterday afternoon began to move. bank np to noon. The bank restricts its business to small advances and will pursue a careful and pteady policy in dealing with its patrons. News from provincial brunches are also very satisfactory to the shareholders and friends of the hunk. Montreal, Oct.

I joined a certain church because the pastor was very sympathizing with us, and 1 hud been working in his gospel lent, and trying to rescue men. Well, I believed and boasted that the love of Jesus had taken away all appetite foi' drink. Three weeks ago there was a communion service, I sinelled tho drink nnd wanted it. My lingers began to tingle. There was an itching, burning, dry sensation in iny throat. I wanted it. I tried to pray. I tried to think that I had come there to show forth the 'Lord's death till He come.' It was of no use. I gripped the seat. I ground my teeth. I sat in perfect agony. The wine approached me. I shuddered from head to foot. If I had taken it in my hand there would not have been a drop of it left. I know it, and I have been fighting that appetite for three weeks with all the power I had to fight anything, and I am very glad you have comforted me by the assurance that I may yet bo a child of God, though subject to this terrible temptation."—J".

There, aided by the efforts of the Btreet cleaning department, which disposes in tlio vioinity annually of thousands of tons of the city's rofuso, it forma what ia known as the bar, a potent nnd stubborn accumulation of mud and aand, which restricts to tho liours of high water the entrance of largo vessels to tho harbor and tlieir departure from it. Since thia bar first hcji'.u) to bo it serious obstacle and causo of delay to shipping,'au objection wliich became more and moro urgent na now vessels of greater draught camo to the port, its growth hns been rapid; and tho difficulty .of dealing with it has boon more and more a subject of anxious discussion. Dismissing tlio consideration of tlio various remedies proposed and the objections to which they are open, attention is now directed lo a vory simple and interesting plan for making and maintaining through the bar a channel which shall be at all times deep enough for vessuja of the greatest draught, audi ns mir great transatlantic steamers. Gen. Uoy Stono conceived tho idea of using the natural outgoing current as an agent to deepon and maintain a channel, much as Oapt. Mails, in his work at tho South Pass, bolow Now Orleans, mado tho Mississippi scour for itself out into tho gulf a deep aud permanent roadway. Gen. Stono believed that, if he stirred up tho mud and sand at the right time, the sea-going currents would carry it away.

A constant increase in the depth was observed, and within a fow days Gen. Stone waa enabled to report a material gain along the entire length of the channel. An inspection of tho operations of Gen. Stone's steamer showB that the plan is apparently both cheap and effective, and leaves the impression that it can bo permanently employed to keep the port of New York opon to vessels of any size without respect to tides. m. ■ Stonewall Jackson's Device. On tho night of tho battle of Fredericksburg, when Burnside was trying to get his army back to tho Stafford sido of tho rivor over the one pontoon bridge that wns left, Lee called a council of war. Jackson had been holding u position somo threo miles down tho river from Murye'a Heights, where the fiercest lighting had taken placo, hut hnd moved his command up closer later in the afternoon. Tlio night was fearful dark, and a drizzling rain had set in. Jackson came into the council, saluted tho officers present, nnd took n seat off in tho corner. General Lee stated the purposo for which the council had been called, and asked one of the senior officers for hia opinion} and then another, and another, until ail had spoken save Stonewall. Leo then turned and asked his opinion, but received nu response. All turned to hear what he would say, and there saw Jackson, bolt upright in his chair, fust asleep. "Why, bless me," said Lee, "thu old fellow ii asleep," and going tn him he shook his arm and called his name, which awoke him. "General Jackson, will you givo ub your opinion as to what could be done ?" "Gentlemen," he said, "I am sorry that I have not hoard all that was said; but my plan is, if the council will agree to it, to go back to my corps and march it into Fredericksburg nt once. The enemy has met with a severe reverse and is, in all probability, demoralized. They have only one bridgo over which to escape.

Finully he Baid, ''Generul Jackson, I cannot agree to yonr proposition. The slaughter would bo horrible, and iny consciouco cannot aporovo of it." "My conscience approves of it thoroughly," Baid Jackson. "War ia war. The slaughter to-day has been horrible, and would have been worse had tho enemy gained those heights.

The church over which he presided was a small one, weak nnd struggling, and located not far from a mining camp. It was quite a common thing for the miners to drop into church, and to their credit bo it said that they always maintained the hest of order and novor allowed tho plate to pass unnoticed. Ono Sabbath after service tho pastor was stopped by a typical forty-niner who, after passing the timo of day, said: "Parson they tell me the gospei lead you're workiu' here don't pan out very rich. Is that so?" The parson confessed that results were hardly satisfactory. "Well," continued tho miner, "I heard you preach to-day and it took me back to old times. Now, I ain't no great shakos ou religion, but I'm big on salary," and putting a doublo eagle in tho astonished parson's hand, ho strode away.—Harper's Bazar. Medical Drunkenness. An English doctor, illustrating tho risk of establishing a taste for intoxicating drinks by prescribing alcoholic liquors as medicinal agents, tells of a favorite dog which, falling sick, wns treated by the veterinary suri/eon with brandy. "Ever aince, if ho hears any ono speak of brandy, ho is up in a moment on his hind logs begging for the seductive physic." Though cases of what maybe called "medical drunk enness" nre not so numerous as it is popularly supposed, instances are, unfortunately, too common where the medical prescription of strong drinks has been the beginning of a career of excess. Alcoholic liquors should be the lost, and not the first, reBort. Especially should such "tricksy Bpirita' never bB administered to reformed inebriates or to persons under suspicion of a transmitted alcoholic taint. The whole system of auch is ever ready to respond to the lightest touch of tho poison, and the smallest sip will often fight up an uncontrollable conflagration. Dogs at School. There is a training school for dogs in Pittsburg, aays the Dispatch. A great many of the canine family nro always there in training. There are dogs of all sizes, ages, and dispositions. Some are of a blooded race, while others are the commonllvery-day curs, met in overy alley and by-way of tho city. They are taught to do all the tricks that appear clever when manifested by their class, but tho chief subject of instruction la breaking to wild game. They aro taken out to tho woods near by, and then tho game is furnished by the trainer, and they nre given an insight iuto all the little tricks of tho profession by an old and experienced dog. Almost any oue could do the work done by the trainer if he had tho samo opportunities and aa great a knowledge of tlie character of dogs. Said the gentleman in chargo of the school: "Dugs aro as different in their ways as men. Some you can trust and rely upon, and they will never try to get out of what they know they ahould do; others require closo watching, or they will always be in mischief. Yes, wo have some fino dogs hore. You can't always tell whicli ones they tiro by their appearance. Thoso that at a casual glance presont the most repulsive appearance nre frequently thu most valuable. The fine animals are' not always those thut havu long pedigrees treasured up by their musters. 1 have a dog here that is the most useful, intelligent, nnd powerful animal under my care, and yet he has no pedigree recorded." "What value do dogs reach V "Oh, they are worth all the way up from §50 to $5,000. There are vory few that will bring the latter figure, however. A great deul of the value put upon a dog of fino pedigree is merely imaginary. The ancestors of the animals aro supposed to impart thoir worth to him. Our dog shows do n great deal tu givo dogs of no pedigree a chance to get a reputation and set a valuo upon themselves.
