AN ExCHANGR.

The tonic effect of KidneyW is pro-
duced by its cleansing and purifying action
on the blood. Where there is a grayelly
deposit in the urine, or milky, ropy urine,
from disordered kidneys, it cures without
fail. Constipation and piles readily yield
to its cathartic and healing power. Put up
in dry vegetable form or liquid livery con-
centrated). either acts promptly and surely.

wonderful sagacity of N Dog.

A Roanoke (Va.) correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch relates the following
dog story, the truth of which is vouched
for by the Churle2town (W. Va.) Spirit
of Jefferson:
"a few weeks ago a family removed
from Charlestown, West Virginia. to Ro-
anoke. They brought with them a dog,
to which all, especially the children,
were much attached. He was a cross be-
tween the shepherd and the Esquimaux.
AT Gish's, three miles from Roanoke.
the gentlemau got off the cars, followed
by the dog. As the train started lac re-
sumed his seat in the cars, but the dog
was les. in the depot. GA reaching Ro-
anokc the dog was missed, and inquiry
sent back to Gish's; but it seemed that the
dog, after missing his master, wandered
about the place until a train PACED east.
ward, which he entered, but was kicked
of by the conductor at Bonsack's. six
miles from Roanoke. Though diligentinou
~ was made, this was the last heard from
the lost pet.
The family obtained rooms above the
drug store in Roanoke, and last Friday
day night about bedtiue-two weeks after
it dlsappeared-a whining end scratch
ing was heard at the Top Of the steps, and
a little girl to whom the dog had been a
faithful and loving companion, exclaimed:

An Engineers HeroIsm.

There have been few instances on rec
ord in which heroism, combined with
qulckness of perception and the will to
carry out the thought of the moment.
a V been more conspicuously displayed
as described by the Valley Virginian, than
by Engineer II. p. Irving, In command Of
one OF the rams of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, On Wednesday, the 18th
of January, eleven trains were blocked on
the main track neal Waynesboro', Virgin
ia, waiting the passage of extra trains
moving west. AS soon as thu latter had
passed the first section of the waiting
trains was started, being pushed up the
heavy grade TO the tunnel by the engine
of the train next TO follow. After a srart
of half a mile was given the assisting en-
CINE was reversed by Mr.. Irving To return
to his own train, but before ne got to it
he saw that a part of the train which he
had been pushing up the mountain had
broken loose and was descending the
grade of seventy-fige feet to the mile
towards him, and consequently towards
the trains resting on the main track.
Knowing that If the loose cars that were
coming down at an accelerated speed were
not stopped, the momentum would cause
a fTighitul wreck among TIE trains on The
track and grest loss of life, he reversed
his engine again and went forward slowly
TO intercept the descending cars and break
the force of the shock. 10 doing this he
put his Il life at the hazard, but ell
though, when the crash came, one of the
cars climbed on his engine and another
was wrecked, he escaped without injury,
and saved the trains on The track from dc
struction.

How a woman rcad. a New>po-

per.
According TO Mrs. Gertrude Garrison
this is how she does il. She takes il up
hurriedy, and begins to scan it vger rap
idly, % though she were hunting some
particular thing, but she Is not. She is
merely taking in the obscure paragraphs,
which, she believes, were put in the out
of-way places for the sake of keeping her
from them. rs she finishes each one, her
countensnce brightens with the comforta-
ble reflection that she has outwitted the
editor anu the whole race OF men, for she
cherishes a vague belief that newspapers
are the enemies of her sex, and editors
her chief oppressors. Sue .eyer reads
tho headlines, and the huge telegraph
heads she never sees. She IS greedy for
local news, and deysurs it with the keen
est relish. Marriages and deaths are al
ways interesting reading to her, and ad-
vertisements are exciting aud stimulating.
She cares but little for tho printed Jokes
unless they reflect ridicule upon the men,
and hen abe delights in them and never
forgets them. She pays particular atten-
ton TO anything inclosed in quotation
marks, and considers it r&ther better au-
thorlty than anything f~rsthanded. The
columns in which the editor airs his opin-
ions in lesded hifalutin, che rarely reads.
Views are of no Importance in her esti-
nation, but facts are everything. She al
ways reads the poetry. She doesn't al.
ways care for il, but makes a nractice of
reading 1t, because she thinks she ought
to. She reads stories, and sketches, and
paragraphs Discriminatory, n believes
every word OF them. Finally, after she
has read all she intends to, she lays the
paper down with az air of disappoint
ment and a half c%ontemptuous gesture,
which says very plainly that she thinks all
newspapers miserable failures, but is GER
tain that, If she had a chance, she could
make the only perfect newspaper the world
has ever seen.

Michael Lycet waited until he was
thirty-seyen before seeking a wife, and
then found the Job less easy and more
costly iosa he had expected, though he
had the advantage of q considerable bank
account. He lives az Nicetown. a suburb
