Brought Him in Alive.

A defeated man is fortunate if he
happens to be witty one too. He can
save his credit by his explanation. An
exchange tells how lucky phrase Of
army language brought certain sshero"
out of doubtful hunting experience
with success:
A party of soldiers "out West" not
having much to do, resolved to 20 bear
hunting. They had been out about six
teen hours and had not seen bear, and.
being tired and hungry, returned to
camp. On their arrival at headquarters
they missed one of their companions.
but thought nothing of it, one of them
remarking:
"He Will return all right
They made their campfire and COM
menced preparations for supper. They
had some coffee over the fire; one Of
them was slicing some potatoes, another
was stewing some meat, and the re-
mainder sat around the fire waiting.
when they were all startled by terrible
noise that seemed to come nearer the
camp. Suddenly the thickets parted,
and in rushed the missing man, his hair
standing on end, his face deadly white,
his gun gone, and his arms flying in
the air, as if grasping for imaginary OBJ
jects, and about two feet behind him
came great black bear. The pursued
soldier turned when he saw the bear
drop, and, looking at one of them, said,
breathlessly
is he dead p
One of the men asked:
"Why didn't you shoot him, instead
of running?"
What do you take me for % replied
the missing one. DO you think l was
such fool as to shoot him, when I
could bring him in aliye?"

The Howling OF a Dop.

To hear dog howl in the night has
been regarded of old with the same dis
like Is in modern times, and arises
from the belief that the dog can see
things which are not visible to other
eyes. In the Odyssey" when the
dogs knew Athene, they fled to the
stalls far side," and the dogs of the
North were conscious s.wenn Hell
umgeht. f" Rabbi Bechai, in his g Expo
sition of the Five Books Of Noses. =.
says: "Our Rabbins of blessed mem
oily have said when the dogs howl then
cometh the angel Of death into the CITY:
but when the dogs are at play then
cometh Elias into the city" and in the
exposition of another Rabbi: "Our
) Rabbins of blessed memory have said.
when the angel of death enters into a
city the dogs do howl. And have
seen it written by one of the disciples
OF Rabbi Jehudo the Just, that upon a.
time dog did howl, and clapt his tail
between his legs, and went aside for fear
of the angel Of death, and somebody
coming and kicking the dog to the place
from which he had fled, the dog pres
emily died." German peasants believe
that if dog barks looking upward
recovery may be expected, but if he
looks toward the earth death is certain.
In Cornwall the bowling of dog is
always sad sign, but eff repeated for
three nights, the house against which it
howled will soon be in mourning" In
Lancashire, where the death-tick is still
feared. it is reported as ga curious cir
cumstance'' that the real death-tick
must only tick three times on each &C.
casion. When we remember that Mr..
Darwin says that death-ticks (Anobina
tessettotesme) are known to answer to
each others ticking, CT, as he has per-
sonally observed, tapping noise arti-
ticially made, it is evident that if Lam

ing ticks, or stimulate them by an artifi-
cial tick, before allowing her supersti-
tious fears to get the better of her rea-
son.-Belgravia.

Rugs.

Now that it is the fashion to dispense
with carpets and the use of rugs substi-
tuted, the following homemade ones
might be found useful in small bed
chamber, instead of the Persian and
other expensive bought kinds. OF
course the floor should be painted, oiled,
or have mating. For room that, is
used simply to sleep in, nothing can be
nicer, as they can be taken up and
shaken without any trouble, and one
can breathe without feeling that they
are inhaling dust from carpets at every
inspiration.
Very handsome rugs can be made of
burlap canvas at small cost. The piece
of canvas must be fastened to stout
frame of the desired size for the rug, and
then narrow strips of red, green and
gray flannel can be "drawn in, III any
pattern desired. The border should he
of solid color-gray is the prettiest, and
is neat finish. Loops must be left on
the surface and the whole carefully
trimmed off when the pattern is COM
plete.
If one wishes to have more expens-
i've rug and purchase the material, Turk
ish toweling will be found capable of
great ornamentation. Pieces of cloth or
velvet can be cut into leaves from Gre
tonne and stitched on. It is not best to
cut each leaf separately, for the effect is
better if large cluster is laid on, and
veins made in the leaves of bright, heavy
silk.
A cheap, common table cover ingen-
ious fingers can make by taking gray
canton flannel and cutting the cloth
large enough to cover the table and
form deep drapery. Then procure
some red velveteen or canton flannel,
and cut out the leaves of a rose or other
flower, place them in shape around the
edge and overcast the edges with silk.
The stem or foliage may be cut Of some
green velveteen similarly treated, and
then the veins and hearts may be worked
with light brown creWels.

Give the Best of Yourself.

should dislike to think that any one
could make my children happier than I

"When there is good concert, lecture,

quantity OF turpentine, warm it and
pour it on the wound, no matter where
the wound is, and relief will follow in

Starving Out Cancers.

The patient was an unmarried lady Of IS.
A cancer formed In her breast, causing
retraction and ultimately loss of the nip
pie; it liberated some auxiliary glands

to die. But in consequence, as it APP

taken by the patient, the cancer was

now, nine years after its first appear

more or less similar were related in the
discussion which followed.

The Cocktail.
In vocabulary of drinking terms, the
Retailer remarks regarding the "cock-
tail - A word of very uncertain orr
gin. Copjectural etymologists have
traced it to the Meso-G Gothic, the Chi
nese, the Cherokee, and the Gumbo :;
one has settled it to his own satisfaction
that it is of Sandwich island origin; an
other that it is Celtic; and still another
that Noah left the recipe to his son
Shem, giving the beverage the name
Ko'kda], written in the old Hebrew char
acter with the Massoretic points. The
probability is that the name and the
beverage were invented by the mound
builders, and the most prominent phil
ologists are inclining more and more
to that opinion The Retailer also
gives the following information "The
cocktail is made Of brandy, gin, whisky,
or champaign, mixed with bitters.
sugar, and a small very small-per-
centage Of water. 1t is an early-morn-
ing drink, and is highly esteemed for its
medicinal properties. A large proper
