a Dogs Love for Another Dog.

had two puppies of the Molussus,
commonly called the Maremma, breed;
large, white, very beautiful dogs. with
long hair; varying in size between a
Newfoundland and collie; the old
Greek race of watch dogs to which,
quite certainly, Argos belonged. These
puppies, named Pan and Paris, lived
together, fed, played and slept together,
and were never separated for moment
for seven months. In the seventh month
Paris fell i'll of distemper and died.
Now. by my own observation, can
declare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat:
did al! that he could think of; and
when his brother at last lay there cold
and uniesponsive to his efforts, his grief

A Giant Hnrse.


There is in Detroit an eqpine thorough
bred which is pronounced not only the
handsomest, but one Of the largest horses
in existence. He is in truth giant, and
the veriest novice in horsefesh could not
but view his size and beauty without a
certain feeling of awe. This colossal
animal is 5 years old and is II hands
high, weighing 1896 pounds. An ordi-
nary sized man cuts but small figure
beside him. He is dark chestnut in
color, with superb name and tail. He is
owned by Richard Tregaskis. and can
trot in four minutes.
1t seems a pity that there will be none
OF his progeny. He was imported from
France by a Kentucky horse breeder,
who paid $4,000 for him. When put in
the stud the animal became veritable
fiend. He would kick and bite on the
slightest provocation, and no one could
do anything with him. He soon killed
one attendant and short time after an
other man fell a victim to the vicious
brutes The death of these two men
caused the owner to change the animal
into gelding, and with good effect, his
temper being greatly improved. Detroit

A Plain Truth.

No man has right to marry till, in
every human probability, assured that
he can support family in his own sta
ton. Mere love Or improvident matches
seldom tnrn out well; poverty comes,
and there is somuch self reproach on
either side that gall is added to its bit
terness; their tempers are soured. and
they soou wish themselves unmarried.
But when trials assail an attached, a
reasonable pair, sorrow unites them
closer: the man, feeling how much de-
ponds OH him, never flags in his exertion.
and often recoverso the lost step; if not,
there is still consolation in his wife's I'M
varying love-in her sweet. noiseless
sacrifices. In these uncertain times
there are few commercial men who
have not met with reverses, and they
will often say:
"Had it not been for those at home |
should have blown my brains out:
could not have stood it, .lf
Wife and children. They are u beacon
to us in our troubled sea: we renew the
struggle when ready to sink beneath the
wave, and at last are saved. At the
worst when all is black-when friends
are cool or reproachful-wh the cruel
est doubts assail us-there is still one
who respects and loves us; at home we
are still dear.-New York Ledger

The Fall Bonnets,

AS you see the fashionable fall woman
approaching, you wonder if she is wear
ing a crown upon her head. Her hat is
of a material that looks like FURNISHED
gold or polished brass. 1t sets closely to
the head in front, and extends upward
as If it were going to end, or rather
peak off, " into the regulation top for a
crown. But she isn't wearing any such
mark Of power. She has simply put on
her fall bonnet and is wearing it, not for
the purpose Of astonishing the natives,
but simply because it is fashionable. If
she is very fashionable woman she has
had Il piece of her dress material let into
the top of her FURNISHED gold hat. and
at the very back of the whole affair she
has caused whole field Of brass daisies
to be fastened upright. so that they nod
upon their wiry stems and wave to and
fro as their wearer walks or talks. bows
or nods.-New York Letter

Music From Insects.

The notes of the katydid are perhaps
as familiar as any and have certain
fascination, the sounds taking on various
infections and meanings. They are pro-
duced by rubbing the inner surface of
the hind legs against the outer surface
of tho front wings-fddling in fact.
When tbs male cricket sings in the
hearth it raises its fore wings and scrapss
them against its hind ones. Even the
butterfly makes sound audible at some
distance. certain species having been
heard to utter clicking sound.-St

To help nature in its efforts to throw off
the trammels OF disease. is of course,
the legitimate method of medication.
This method is, unfortunately, too often
diverged from and help perverted into
coercion. Drastic excessive purging is
undoubtedly the most frequent form OF
coercion of this sort. The bowels are
forced, literally wrenched into action. Oi
course this is accompanied with much
gripping pain, and succeeded by exhaustion,
which leaves the organs of evaucation in a
state incompatible with subsequent
regularity and activity. The last case OF
the man or woman who uses drastic
cathartics for constipation is decidedly
worse than the first, Hestetter's Stomach
Bitters is the finest laxative in existence,
since 1t produces the needful but no
abnormal action, is progressive, not
abrupt IN operation, and strengthens
instead OF weakening the organs upon
which it acts. Use it for malarial, kidney,
rheumatic and dyspeptic ailments.
