DOC STORIES.

With the summer season and the poten- tiality of spell of really hot weather, dog stories would seem to be coming into fash ion again. A correspondent writes 'I have collie puppy, sprung from breed noted for it's remarkable intelligence whom I have continually had to chastise for his persistence ill selecting the best sofa for his afternoon nap. He apparently set his mind to reasoning over this, and came to the right conclusion-that he was punished for the damage to the sofa cover. Accord ingly, the other day he rolled up the piece of carpet which has been set apart for his nightly accommodation in the servants hall, and having carried 1t ill his mouth to the drawing-room, spread it out carefully on the forbidden sofa, where he was dis covered sleeping the sleep of innocence no doubt being quite satisfied that he had surmounted the only objection to his choice | of a soft resting-place.
 This is good story, but we think we can beat it. A friend of ours had large retriever, whom he continually had to chas- | tise for going to sleep on his bed. One evening he went up to his room, and find ing the dog suspiciously near the bed felt the counterpane, and by the animal warmth that it still retained discovered that there had been a repetition of the old offence. The dog was accordingly punished. Nexi night my friend again went up to bed, and on his way upstairs heard heavy flop on the floor of the bedroom. Approaching quietly to the door he peeped in and be- held the sagacious animal standing upright with his forepaws resting on the edge o1 the counterpane, while he was diligently blowing on the part on which he had beer lying, with view to removing all tell-tale symptoms of temperature. .-tt.

Took off His under lin.

Eight years ago cancer came on my lower lip. I had it cut while it was yet small, and it healed up apparently, but soon broke out again, and commenced eating very rapidly. It took off my under lip from one side to the other, and down to my chin. I had it treated by burning. and got 80 weak that did not think that could stand it much longer. Af- ter much suffering discarded all other treat ment, and began taking Swift's Specific, and the cancer soon began to heal, and in short time it was completely healed, and I was en- tirely well. It is now over three years since I got well, and there has been no sign of any return of the disease. I know it was cancer, .andaI know it was cured alone by s. s. s.
