twice as big as what is flesh and bone by
standing her hairs up strate. and she spits
and sneezes all over the dog, so he can't
see what he's doing of. Then while he's
clearin his eyes bit she scratter him in

A Severe Test.
Youths Compapion.


Two little girls, returning hand in hand
from school, saw a small and very tired
looking dog lying crouched, with half
closed eyes, at the feet of half-famished
beggar on the street corner. The girls
stopped, bent curiously and pityingly over
the dog and began to speculate as to
whether he was blind.
Il don't believe he can see US" said one
them. "He doesn't seem to take any
notice. He's blind"
Perhaps it's only because he's so tired, :"
the other suggested.
The poor dog slowly opened and closed
his eyes, but paid no attention to the
children.
NO" said the second of the girls again /;
''he isn't blind. I'll show you"
Bending down close to the dog with her
face full of the utmost good faith, the child
opened her little hand before his ewes and
said:
"How many fingers? ?"

A Fortunate Druggist.

Mr. Edwin W. Joy for many years and now
prosperous druggist on the corner Of Stockton
and Market streets in San Francisco, probably
never dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medi.
cine kings of the country. But various rumors
having been hosting around to the effect that
he has struck it big, an Examiner reporter was
detailed to unearth the cause, and after much
difficulty unraveled the following story:
1t seems that about seven years ago an English
physician, great student of botany, located IN
this city. His practice was not extensive. and
yet the few cases that came to him attracted no
little attention. His success seemed to be in
the treatment of liver and kidney disorders
and vitiated blood. In fact his ability to cope
with these common complaints was marvellous.
He seemed almost infallible, and his quiet
modest methods and his well-kept secret was
a. much a mystery As himself. After his de-
parture about year later Mr.. Joy determined
to fsthom the secret. and copying all the pres
criptions he had filled for the erratic doctor
he began a systematic analysis. III his exam
ination he discovered running all through the
prescriptions for liver and kidney troubles,
vitiated blood and stomach disorders a couple

however was Mr.. Joy that he had discovered
the secret. that he embodied the new elements
in preparation Of ssrsapsriiia 10 disguise the
taste, and put It before his customers under the
modest name OF Joys Vegetable sarsapsrilis.
Immedistely the same marvellous stories came
back Of its astonishing effects. and the mystery
was solved, and the talk IL has created has
already caused it 70 step into prominence. and
orders pour in daily from all over the coast.
And thus another California ind astry leaps inte

Testing Diamonds.

1t doesn't require an expert to tell

can be made in any place and in a
moment. All you need is "a piece of
paper and a lead pencil. With the
latter make small dot on the pa
per, then look at it through the
diamond. If You can see but one
dot you can depend upon it that the
stone is genuine, but if the mark is
scattered, or shows more than one,
you will be perfectly safe in refus-
ing to pay ten cents for stone that
has been offered to you at 500. a
blue stone may be tested by bath
in alcohol. Many yellow stones are
made blue by an application Of ana
