Messrs WEEKS g. POTTER: Gentlemen,-I feel
it duty to inform you, and through you all who
are interested to know the fact that a most disa-
greeable and obstinate case of Salt Rheum or Ecr
zema, which has been under my personal obserya-
ton from its first appearance to the present time-
about ten years, covering the greater portion of
irritating and itching scab, and to which all the
known methods of treating such disease had been
applied without benefit, has completely disappeared,
leaving clean and healthy skin, under few DAYS
of profuse application of CUTICURA.
can and do heartily advise all similarly afflicted
to try the remedy which has been so etfectual in
this case. Very truly yours

4 Tame Otter.

y recent writer In an English paper SAYS:
Not long ago, taking walk down by the
Thrnm mill, near Rothbury OH the Coquet,
to exercise our dogs, on getting to the top
of the rocks one of the puppies gave tongue
and out came an otter with two whelps by
her side, making for the river. lie got in
front when the mother gained the rocks,
but we secured the two whelps. We took
them home and put them with Bell, an
otter hound, who had litter of three pup
pies: One of the whclps died, but the other
took to the hound, and throve famollsly; he
mixed with the puppies, but fought like a
demon, and was soon master of the situa-
ton. Wherever they went he went with
them, fighting everything hc met with. He
also became Il pet with all the household,
who never missed Il chnnce of feeding him.
His special treat was bowls Of milk and
broth; to get these he would find his way
into dairics. larderS, etc. Thus he went
ON, until he had to enter the puppies for
otter hunting. We had him fastened in a
yard with high walls, as we felt sure, if we
TOOK him with us, he would join his own
species. On our return he b,illicd and
fought the entire kennel Of five. About a
week after had TO 60 to Brinkbarn priory,
and took the dogs with me. ''Sandy," the
tame otter, would go, and into the Coquet
they soon got OIL the lair of an otter. They
swan him through deep pool, when he
took to the bushes. Soon saw Sandy side
by side with Refus, close to the wild otter.
| said farewell to Sandy, but presently
heard the pleasant sound. "wOrry, worry"
| thought Rcfus had him, but, on coming
In sight, to my astonishrnemt, Sandy had
him fast by the neck and held him fast nm
til the dogs came up. From that time he
was the leader in all our hunts, and was in
at the death of nearly twenty offers. He
became, however, a perfect terror to all the
dogs in the village, and district fighting
was his motto. well remember Mr.. Wea-
thens had big lurchcr and greyhound,
who took to fighting; great, powerful
animal, his long jaws ard quick movements
beat the whole district. One day he was in
Roxbury, and soon had poor Rcfus dead
beat. Set out, Sandy, Gcordic" No
sooner said than done. Sandy at once saw
poor Refus's condition, and flew at the
lurchcr-got him by the forcleg, when the
lurchcr turned to bite. On seeing Sandy,
however,, lie was terror stricken, aud, Civ
ing most unearthly yell, bolted up the
town with Sandy after linn. The dogs
master could never get hlm to pass through
the town again. But, alas poor Sandy
soon came to his end. Love of broth led
him into the larder of the Star inn The
cook, tinding him wallowing in the broth,
struck him with the wooden ladlc. more to
frightcn than to hurt him but his skull
was fractured, and after lingering for some
days, he died, to the incXprcssiblc regret of
all who knew him.

Of 1900 | travelled with my family from

turned to Berlin, Pinchcr was accidentally

An Intelligent Dog.

lie was pure Newfoundland, with u
nice, broad head and beautiful light brown
eyes, and such a sweet expression at the
corners OF his mouth you would be sure to
think he was smiling. a more afrcctionatc @
heart never beat than that beneath the
shaggy breast Of our dog Custer. We
trained him 10 hold the halter in his mouth
and lead the horses away, and he was very
proud to be allowed this homer, and would
wag his big, bushy tail in satisfied way.
and hold his head high In order to look as
dlgnltlcd as possible, suppose His tricks
ana accomplishments were many. He
could carry two eggs in his huge mouth
and never break one. He could turn n
knob as well as any one, and on entering a
room would always turn around and put
his paw on tho door to close 1t. If this
failed lie would Jump upon the door, taking
care not to scratch with his nails. lie was
more intelligent than many men l have
seen, and If any one sat down in tho house
without dofling his hat Custer would steal
stcalthily up behind him and pull 1t Off,
then dropping 1t on the floor at the side Of
his chair would walk quietly away and lie
down, as ono who had.perf0rmcd duty.
VIC would wrap few pennies in paper
and send him with it in his mouth 10 q
store for candy, of which he was very fond.
iie would never give IL to any one but one
clerk, with whom he was ACQUAINTED, and
would bring The candy home untouched
but after delivering it to us would stand
cc,Xpectedly by, wagging his tail and waiting
Tor the sweet merscl he knew he was sure
to get. lie was fond of milk, too, but
would carry IL faithfully to our pet lamb !;
and though he would glance lovingly lnto
the pail occasionally, he was never known
to Gctray our trust or steal one sip of the
coveted beverage. We could send him to
Il remote part OF the house for any article,
and he would be sure to understand ard
bring it to us if he could find it, and he
generally found whatever he searched for.
| would say: "Custcr bring my ovcrshocs
from tho hall" lie would get up and
yawn, perhaps, and look up in my face
with eg-smile, as though nc said: "You
lazy girl, why dld you disturb my pleasant
dreamF" then turn the knob of the hall
door and in moment return to me with
both rubbcrs in the cavcrnous depths of his
great rcd mouth l would say: "Bring
me my thimble. 1t is upstairs on tho win
dow lie would turn his grand, glossy
head first on one side, then on the other,
and look at nc in apuzzling way, rs thoegh
trying to fix it upon his memory, then turn
slowly away to do his errand. Sometime es
on the way he would seem to forget and
come back to mo, looking very much
ashamed, dropping his wide, curly cars and
peering at me from tho top of his eyes
Then would repeat my demand, and he
would run friskily away again, and como
back with tho thimblc hidden in his mouth
Often he would tantalizc me playfully and
refuse to give it to me, shaking his head in
mischievous way, aud keeping just out
Of my reach rs ran toward him.
