THAT TIMID DOG.
How Red Pepper and Gunpowder Improv-
ed Him.

Cooley's boy has liver-colored dog,
which he has upon several occasions
made the subject of very interesting and
instructive experiments. Originally the
dogs tail curled up over his back but
Cooley'S boy was perjudiced in favor of
tails that hung down behind, SO after
amputating the dogs tailwith hatchet,
he spent whole morning trying to graft
a skate-strap on the stump. 1t was not
a courageous dog. 1t would bark all
night when nobody was about, but if
tramp came near the house in the day.
time the dog would put his skate-strap
between his legs, and go in and lie down
behind the stove. Cooley's view was
that he would prefer fighting dog, and
one day he read in a paper that timid
dog could be made brave by filling his
meat with gunpowder and red pepper.
Accordingly he put about quarter of
a pound of pepper and little powder
in some meat, rolled it up in a kind of
ball, and tossed it to the dog. The
dog swallowed it as quick as flash.
For few moments the animal SEEM
ed contented. But presently he gave a
little start, and then paused and looked
around to observe if anything had hap
pened. Then he gave another jump
and began to assume very solemn ap-
pearance. All of a sudden he uttered
a sharp howl and began to circulate
around the garden. He went faster and
faster, and Cooley is willing to swear to
at least four hundred revolutions min
ute. Over the gooSeberry bushes,
through the asparagus bed, across the
fences, among the bean-poles he flew
with fury, swapping at Cooley as he
passed him, soaring the chickens and
setting them to cackling, and smashing
the vegetation into ruin. The louder
Cooley called to him to stop the faster
he went, and at last Cooley got his gun
and tried toshoot him. He shot fifteen
times, and blew holes into the smoke
house door, killed four chickens, and
put half a pound of quail shot in his
Durham COW; but the dog still revolved,
and went SO fast that he looked like a
single streak OF dog reaching all the way
around the garden.
At last the animal ran against the
pump, and, being switched off his course,
he dashed through the kitchen, knocked
down the stovepipe, whirled into the
dining-room, across the table, smashing
two dollars worth of crockery, burst
through the open door to the parlor, and
brought up against the mirror, which he
shivered to atoms. Then he fell on the
Brussels carpet, had spasrns around e#e1
the floor for an hour or two, and finally
expired with his hind legs in the CRATE
and his head on forty-dollar rug, which
was covered with beef and red pepper.
They buried him at the roots of the Is
abella grapevine, and Cooley's boy,
after recovering from the thrashing that
his father gave him with fence paling,
finally came to the conclusion that as
matter of practical fact red pepper will
not make adog anxious for war.-PAa1a.

RULES FOR RESUSCITATIoN OF PER
SONS APPARENTLY DROWNED.

As the summer season brings itsusual
long list of casualties at the seaShore
and on inland lakes and streams, it will
be we'll to cut out and carry in ones
pocket book Mr.. Marshall Hall plain
rules for the treatment of persons over
come by immersion in water:
I. Treat the patient instantly, on the
spot, in the open air, freely exposing
the face, neck and chest to the breeze,
except in very severe weather.
2. Send with all speed for medical
aid and for articles of clothing, blan-
kets, etc.
1. To clear the throat.-3. Place
the patient gently on the face, with one
wrist under the forehead All the fluids
and the tongue itself then fall forward,
and leave the entrance into the wind
pipe free.
II. To excite respiration.-4. Turn
the patient slightly on his side; apply
snuff or other irritant to his nostrils and
dash cold water on the face, previously
rubbing briskly until it is warm. If
there be no success lose no time but ap-
ply the third rule.
III. To initiate respiration.-5. Re-
place the patient on his face. 6. Turn
the body gently but completely on the
side, and little beyond, and then on
the face alternately, repeating these
measures deliberately, efficiently and per-
severingly, fifteen times in the minute
only. (This number of thoracic move
ments per minute agrees with the natur-
al order of respiratory thoracic dilations
and ContraCtions, corresponding with a
slow movement of the heart, averaging
something less than sixty pulsations per
minute, and therefore merits due atten-
tion.) The rationale of the operation is
this: When the patient repoSes on the
thorax, this cavity is compressed by the
weight of the body, and expiration is
promoted when he is turned on the
side this pressure is removed, and in
spiration is facilitated. 7. When the
prone position is removed make equable
but efficient pressure along the spine,
removing it Immediately before rota-
ton on the side. (The first measure
augments expiration, the second COM
mences inspiration
". Toinduce circulation and warmth.
-S. Continuing these measures, rub the
limbs upward with firm pressure and
with energy, using handkerchiefs, etc.
g. Replace the patient wet clothing by
such other covering as can be instantly
procured, each bystander supplying
coat or waistcoat. Meanwhile, and from
time to time, proceed to the fifth rule.
V. To excite inspiration.-Io. Let
the surface of the body be slapped brisk
ly with the hand ; or, II. Let cold wa
ter be dashed briskly on the surface,
| previously rubbing dry and warm.
