An Intelligent Dog.

Connecticut has just lost in the death of
Carlo, a dog of Farmer Tucker of Oxford,
one of her most intelligent residents. 1t is
said that it was common for Mrs. Tucker to
send dinner by Carlo to men at work about
mile from the house. The workmen would
send him home with pail for water and he
would return with it. Two of the men after
cutting wood on one side of the mountain
went over on to the other side Carlo find
ing an ak, and thinking it left by mistake,
brought it home, half mile or more. He
would lead horse by the halter. He knew
different tools by their names. He knew a
few families by name. Mr.. Tucker, one day,
holding letter in his hand and saying, II
wish Mrs. Chatfield could see this letter"
Carlo, unbidden, advanced, took it in his
mouth and carried it past several houses to
the house of the person named and presented
it to her.-New York Sun.

A promising method of recording and re-
producing speech is that Of NJ Leon Esquille.
1t consists in first speaking to a diaphragm
having highly polished surface, from which
ray of light is reflected. The record OF this
speech is obtained by simply photographing
the ray of light upon travelling band Of
sensitized paper. After having been devel-
oped, the articulation may be reproduced by
projecting the image Of the trace by means
OF an electric arc or calcium light upon
selenium receiver, the well known apparatus
Tor transforming light impulses into sound
vibrations, and the speech is then heard
through the telephone connected. This
method is more troublesome than E.iison,s
monograph or Bells graphaphone. but seems
likely to give better results.-Arkansaw Trav-

Tho Qualifications of Doctors.

People in large cities do not pay sufii-
cient attention to the quail fications OF doc
tors. II man be sick, the nearest physi-
clan is called. That physician, we fear,
from personal observation, sometimes
kills his patient, because the neighbors
are naturally kept from exercising their
own common sense in the case. The doc
Tor, having carried his course OF treat
ment TO its logical conclusion, pronounces
the patient beyond hope. and then only
another doctor, generally a good one, is
called 20 attend the man in dying This
latter doctor will say no word concerning
the previous treatmen.
Now, why? Is the business Of doctoring
merely an experiment, wherein it is I'M
safe 20 say quack or an empfric has
mistreated his man, and unsafe because
the learned doctor may do the same thing
tomorrow? There is in most folks de-
sire to put their own family physician on
their best friends. Probably this saves
many lives through holding off the be-
ginner In drugs. We would be pleased to
see a custom established that would make
it possible for O student doctor to accom-
pany physician of twenty years expert
ence in his rounds for about two years.
An immense amount of money is paid to
doctors Whom doctor knows all there
is to be known, the money is well spent.

book at every case it is apt to be unlucky

When the resources OF Nature have
become retarded, no matter from what
cause, it is then quite time to help the
Liver and Spleen, and other organs. to
perform their thorough duty-or we
Shall soon he quite i'll. In such cases
there is no more natural remedy than Il
mild cathartic, one which will be sure
to perform its duty without injuring
the system in the least. Such, let us
say in all candor, is Simmons Hepatic
Compound. 1t will gently move the
bowels. without irritating them in the
least: when the medicine works, the
bowels are soothed and healed like a
charm-yet the medicine is more effec--
tive than Calomcl; one OF the principal
ingredients possess all the good qualities
of that poisonous drug, without any of
its constituents. A dose of Simmons
uepatic Compound every night on
going to bed, will infallihly restore
health. Testimony of the highest con-
sideration from every portion of the
country. and from all classes Of people,
abunfiantly substantiate this fact. The
1mportance of this treatment cannot be
over-estimated, and it should be tried
by all means.

Supcrstitions Pertaining to Clothing


An old superstition pertaining to cloth
| ing is that before putting OH new clothes
a sum Of money must be placed in the
right-hand pocket which will insure its
always being full. If by mistake, how
yer, it is put in the left-hand pocket, the
wearer will never have q penny as long as
the clothes last.
. If an article of dress Is put on inside out
| it is good luck.
It is said of the cast-oR clothes OF the
dead that they never last very long, but
that as the body decays so do the gar
ments. In Denmark II corpse is never al
lowed to be buried in the clothes of liv-
ing person, lest as the clothes rot in the
grave that person to whom they belonged
should waste away and perish. SO III the
Netherlands even the rings OF the dead
are never given away.
The apron is not without its superstl-
tions. Women turn them before the new
moon to insure good luck for the ensuing
month. In Yorkshire, town in Eng
| land, when married woman's apron
| falls off it is sign that something IS
coming to veX her; when, however, the
apron of IN unmarried girl drops down
she is frequently the subject OF laughter,
as it is sure sign that she Is thinking OF
her sweetheart If "A young woman's pet
ticoats are longer than her lrss' it is
proof that her mother does not love her
as much us her father, notion which eX-
tends us far as Scotland. If the stocking
is put on wrong side out, it is lucky, but
unluc!ly to turn it. To clothe the left
foot before the right one is 4 sign Of mis-
fortune. New York Commercial Advcr-
