His left nostril began to "run lightly at first, "and then more. The discharge was first watery, and then turned yellow ish and viscid. ' He remained thus until January, when he became sore in the mouth, the membranes being inflamed and the nose running heavily. Next,- he show ed soro places in the ears, and the in ilairied spots became sore on his parts. For a day, too, he could not stand up wSx on his hind legs, but this yielded prompt ly to a dose of calomel. In March all the sore places had healed, but his right nos tril then • started running. In April' he bled freely from the nose, swallowing most of this blood that 'came into his mouth, - but bleeding r profusely. This ceased upon stopping the application of tar to tne nose. Since then his nose runs heavily with yellow -slimy matter, and his mouth is often inflamed and sore. It seems, too, that his nose is swollen half way up. He has never lost his appetite, and is quite fat. but dispirited. The Cos is a mastiff and bull cross, 5 years old. and was always very healthy. Can it be infection? What is the matter with him, and what can I do for him? The medicine given was fculphur, quinine, and locally on the nose tar. AMICU3. The nose must be washed out with a syringe and warm water, to which may be added a little carbolio acid (about five grains to the pint); or, better still, 'if the do.q can b? l r ept quiet, a spraying appa ratus may be used. For spraying tne fol lowing will Prove useful: Soda biboral, 03 grains; scda carb., 60 grains; carbolic acid, 5 drops; glycerine, 2 tablespoon!" .:/•-. Add waie- to make half-pint. Inject. Often ths cleansing in this manner, faithfully cj-jned out, will effect a -cur.-. Attention to the general health is very important. Tonics, as quinine , iron phos phates, cod-liver oil are infllcated, and. proper evacuations of the bowels, &c, indispensable. '_ Dogs long affected with catarrh are apt to get into a dejected condition. AVater Power nu«l AVlieecls. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Will you please give me the horse power on 'the two propositions: L What horse-power can be developed by a "stream of water^S fuet wideband 5 inches deep, carried by a ruce tgr a point giving forty feet fall? Also, what amount of power can be derived from the same stream run into a dam 40 feet high covering an area of 20 acres, and water taken out 3 feet from surface of water, leaving a fall of 37 feet? Also, what would be the cubic feet of water passing every- twelve hours? 1 . send diagram." Will a turbine or overshot wheel pro duce the largest power? J. R. S.- Oakland, i ' ! . 1. A stream of water S feet wide and 5 Inches deep does not tell the quantity of 'water. If the velocity is 2 feet per second, which is about an average canal velocity, 'the quantity of water would be 6 72-100 feet per second,- which, under 40 feet fall; would produce about twenty four horse-power with a. good turbine wheel. If, however," the velocity is 3 feet or 4 feet, the power would, of "course, be Increased, iri the one case SO per cent, and in the other double. 2/ If the same stream were run into a pond; no matter of what extent, but of the same height, the i>o\ver would be precisely the same. With turbine wheels, however, in this case the sluice leading to the wheel should enter the. pond near the surface, so that the water, iri the sluice is as r.ear the level, as possible with the surface of the waiter in tho pond. It is only in case of using overshot wheels that it is necessary to take the outlet at a distance below Hie surface of the water, as Mr. S. sketches. 3. A turbine is always preferable to an overshot wheel, since it Is always some what more etlicient, and. also because if there is any liability to backwater the 0%-ershot wheel must be set so that its bottom is higher than the freshet level of the tail-water, thus wasting some of the head at all times.

Upon decreeing the nullity of a mar riage, or a divorce, either a mensa or a vinculo matrimonii, the Court may make such further decree as it "shall' deem ex pedient concerning the estate .and main tenance of either party, and the care, custody, arid maintenance of their minor children. / Where there Is no decree of perpetual separation in a divorce a mensa- et toro, the. parties remain in statu . quo 'ns' to I their property. 'lf there is such a decree of perpetual separation, the property rights are affected. - /:. ... • In general terms we will say that the divorce a vinculo matrimonii, "which severs the marriage tie, ends all- the. pro perty rights accruing therefrom. In other words, the husband keeps what he has and the woman does the same, unless, of course, the question of alimony* comes Jn. The husband's right to curtesy after his wife's death is defeated by divorce a vin culo, as is also the wife's right to dower. In the case submitted, the husband has no rights in the property of the wife. It is her separate estate, and . even if ■■ there were no divorce, he would have no rights : in it, save that of curtesy, which; as' we have said, is defeated by divorce, /y ■ Notices of Xew Rooks. * THE NORTHWEST UNDER / THTVEK FLAGS, 1G35-1796. By Charles 1 Moore. With Maps and Illustrations. /-.New York and London: Harper & Brothers. 1900. Richmond, Va. Ths ; Bell -Book Company. Cloth. Pages, 402.- Price", 52.50. The Northwest had a very different meaning in those days from what it has now, when it sets us to i.thirilnng of Alaska. Klondike, and Cape- Nome.- In its every expansive change it , has re ceived a good deal of attention in our literature. That from 1G35 to .1795 might be placed under five flags, _ instead ; of three, if we allow a flag to its first oc cupants, the oboriginees. Then came the French flag; set up at Sault Ste Marie, with .much ceremony.- 14th of June, 1671, by Simon Francois Daumont, Sieur Baint Susson; then that of England; then that of Virginia, the fourth, and, at last, "Old Glory." Many orators and historians have not given due importance to the conquest of the Northwest by Virginia, under George Rogers Clark, and to the effect that conquest had upon the settlement of our northern boundary in our . treaty ■ with Great Britain, for .it brought into opera tion in the negotiation the great prin ciple of uti possidetis. Even the author | before us has hardly given sufficient '■ prominence to that aspect of the matter. He is, however, very clear, and. decides las to the justice and validity ■of Vir j ginia's claim to the northwestern terri ■ tory. He says: "The moral" of the land cessions to the nations would seem to be this: Maryland, by standing out for the national ownership and control of the j Northwest, brought about a result of tre i mendous benefit to the United States; I New Tork, by giving up early what she never had, won for herself great credit; Virginia generously made a distinct sacri fice of dearly conquered territory, over j which she was actually exercising juris : diction; Massachusetts . quit-claimed . a title she could not defend, and Connecti cut gained an empire, to which she was not entitled, but which she put to the ! best of uses— education." 1 The author states the curious fact that in one draft of the Ordinance of 1757 Mr. Jefferson had inserted the names of seven States,. to be erected out of the North west—viz., "Sylvania. Michigan, Cher sonesus, Assenisipia, Metropotamia, Poly potania, and Polisipia." What a happy escape the new States made! The autlitr has taken room to give us a. full, instructive, and interesting narra tive of exceedingly important events for more than a century and a half. The maps present different phases of a vast -region, with many curious changes of names; for once we had Upper Lake,' Ilinese. Misisipi, Missilimakinac, Ilenwers, Cayachipie. Irvie, Casconkia, &c. - The illustrations are numerous, and most of them very good. There are por traits of eminent French, English, and American actors of that era. A CHRISTIAN, BUT- A ROMAN.- By .

Smedley. New Tork and London: Harper & Bro thers. ISOO. Richmond, Va. The Bell Book Company. Cloth. Pages 261. Price $1.50. .V , This is a protracted and rather tedious description and discussion of -a married society woman of New York and some of her admirers and associates. Without be ing a great beauty, she was exceedingly fascinating, and captivated everybody— high and low. Sha had in her veins a tinge of Spanish Creole. blood. After she had made a decided success in quasi pri vate theatricals, for the sake of charity, she became infatuated with the stage, and received a flattering temptation to enter upon it. She put and kept her doting husband in "a peck of trouble," lest she should become a public actress, and then, upon his return home from Boston, she unexpectedly relieved his painful anxiety, and even forgot or denied some of the mean and distressing things she had said to him. Any how, for the sake of baby and husband, she concluded not to make a fool of herself, and joy was secured to the household of Mr. and: Mrs. Evert Brookfleld.

This attractive little volume contains ten short stories, which deal, with East Side life in New York, and describes the sufferings of the poor in that densely populated section. .The author is evidently familiar "with his : subject /matter, which ; he describes in striking language. His pic tures of the paupers on Blackwell's Island are particularly good, though, in tensely pathetic. Mr. Shackleton does not weary his read ers with an excess of the East Side dia lect, nor do his stories smack of that • .vulgarity which is usually associated with the residents, of this part of New York., Indeed, nearly all his char acters are types 5 of people who have seen better: days, "but succumbed to ■unavoid able misfortunes. : : . - The stories are .'as follows: How Toomey Willed ; His .

This work is quite different from "In His Steps" and yet has some points of strong resemblance. The. .author "travel led around, visiting various denomina tions/to get. the facts which he has here embodied in the. characters' and inci dents which he has 'introduced. He has shown up hypocrisy and worldliness -in professing Christians, as well as sinceri ty, and spirituality, even among the ministers of the Gospel. , /He has also shown how strikes are produced, foster ed and managed by different men from various motives, and hoy? much good can be done to wage-earners by genuine phil anthropy and the judicious investment of surplus " capital derived Ifrom their labor. The ■ work also . well portrays the means that are employed by Christians to make their, churches attractive and popular. Its perusal will be beneficial to the reader.

We note the following in this class: Professor Pollard, A Character Sketch: A Sentence of Stein's, by S. C. Mitchell; The Co-educated Man— How •Will It Be? (poem,) by Miss Anne Steger Winston; A Vision (poem), by Lewis Lafayette Jennings; Idyllic (poem). Miss Mary Wynne Jones; Sketches, by the "Idle Reporter"; Sketch" of Evan R Chesterman, by Roy B. Pace; Story by W. Russell Owen. In the Spider we find several fac simile pages of a newspaper called "The Gas- Bag," -which purports to give Information of all sorts. This journal, which is "pub lished every now and then by the editors," has to be read very carefully and cannot be taken too literally It" bristles with double entendres and clever subtle jokes, which do not show their humor until one has taken a second glance." ; ' But., after all, the reviewer must dis miss with a word many good things in this annual, for the scope. of our article is limited. Suffice it to say, that the Spider is. indeed, most creditable to the young editors, and shows -that they are making fine headway in Ensjli?h compo sition and in the selection of subject matter. The faculty does well to en courage the students in such work, and the students themselves will profit greatly I I'- ,F, F S r years have demonstrated what .RicWnoncl College can do' in the way of teaching her young men to write for the -press, and the promises of the future for a still more creditable literary output are very bright. This June both the academic and law students have published annuals, and that, too despite most limited financial resources. THE GREEN BAG: An "Entertaining .Magazine for '■; Lawyers.

The handsome little volume is dedicst ed to Judge Roger Gregory, whom (in the language of the editors) "we respect as a friend, esteem as a teacher, and lova as a man." The sketch of Judga Gre gory, which will be read with interest by scores of his old pupils, was prepared by the Hon. H. R. Pollard. Hardly less at tractive, even to the students of Rich mond College, will be the sketch oi the late John B. Minor, by one who knew ami loved him as few others did. The half tone pictures in "Th~ Vide licet" are most excellent, as are also the caricature sketches. The cartoon by Mr. Evan R. Chesterman, which portrays Mr. Herbert S. Rives in the triumphant and honored position of having" passed ttie Supreme 1 Court examination, is Qtita amusing and most complimentary to the subiect. ; The editors of "The videlicet" are as follows: John S.

GOOD OF FAIUIERS 1 " IXSTITLTES Coiumissloner Koiner Imprewcd With TJUeir Value In I'enusjlvnnia. Hon. G. W. Koiner, .Commissioner of Agriculture, returned yesterday Iroia .Lockhaveh, Pa., .where he went to at tend the annual, meeting of the managers of s the farmers' institutes of that State. Every county in Pennsylvania wii rep resented. The object of the Ccmmissioa er's presence at the meeting was thai b* might/ become familiar with tha sysu:ai. employed by those who conduct th* Penn sylvania institutes, which are the most thorough and Practical of any in tha country. : Air. Koiner said yesterday that the ses sions of the body were most satisfactory- There were quite a number of lecturer* present, and all of them were men who had made a. success of soma branch of agriculture, on v?hich they were prepared to address the body, giving in a clear and concise manner tha knowledge which ex perience had -taught them. The Comnif3 sioner has several of these lecturers sn view to address the -institutes which nr« to be held in this.St ate.- The first series of these institutes will be- held. in August In tho tobacco-belt of the State, tha: month being chosen becausa it U the time :of tho year when the growers can most .attend the meetings. Other institutes will be hekl In different sections of • the State ; throughout tho win ter months. / Mr. Koiner salt! while in Pennsylvania he learned -that-the farmers. of that State had, as a rule/adopted hew methods o* agriculture, and were" following thslr call- Ing in a more scientific manner than they had heretofore. .The farmers' institutes were responsible- for this change for the better. /The ; farmers -had learned just what, crops were /best: suited to their soil. and:had profited by the knowledge.
