Saved by HIS Faithful Dog.


Lee Wicks, resident Of this city,
was saved the other day from an awful
death by the sagacity and perseverance
of his dog, says Lawrence burg (lnd.}
dispatch. Wicks is a woodcutter, and,
being fond of the animal, used often to
take it with him when he went to fell
trees. While cutting some timber the
other day several miles out OF town,
and in a lonely spot, by an unlucky
stroke, he buried the ak right IN his
foot. 1t was dreadful wound, the foot
being actually split in two.
The unfortunate man was unable to
stir, and endeavored to stop the flow Of
blood which gushed in torrents from
the wound, all the time shouting as
loud as he could on the chance OF being
heard by some passer-by. But he grad
ually became weaker, his cries fainter.
At length he swooned from pain and
loss Of blood.
How long he remained insensible he
does not know. When he returned to
consciousness he found his dog licking
his face. The intelligent animal showed
the greatest sympathy for It's suffering
master, and strove to assist him in his
weak efforts to reach home. Wicks
saws he repeatedly attempted to get
upon his feet. but every effort caused
him to faint away, and without assist
ance he despaired of ever getting out OF
the lonely hollow in which he had fall
en-. To obtain help in that isolated
locality was not to be expected. His
cries became weaker, and he was
rapidly becoming exhausted.
If be sWooned again in that lonely
spot death was almost a certainty. He
would die alone, with no one to witness
his death save his dog. Realizing this
full well, he reused himself to make
round the dog, he chung as tightly as
his failing strength would permit, while
the big, powerful animal carefully
dragged him considerable distance I'M
til he reached the public highway.
Here he swooned again. His faithful
dog than began barking, and continued
to do so until it attracted attention from
passers-by to its insensible owner.
With great difficulty the wounded man
was put on a passing cart and taken
home. When physician came to dress
the wound the dog still remained at his
masters side, watching with keen inter-
est every move of the surgeon as he at
tended to the unfortunate man.
Gradually he recovered, upon the ap-
plication Of powerful restoratives. On
regaining consciousness his first looks
were directed toward his dog, which
stood by, wagging his tail with evident
delight at MS masters recovery. The
woodcutter had lost SO much blood that
it will be some time before he rallies
again. 1t is feared that he will limp for
the rest of his lie. When he was first
able to speak he murmured in faint
voice that, had it not been for his faith
full old dog, he would have died IN the
lonely wood

A Marvellous atCh.

A marvellous watch which has been
made by a Bombay firm is thus de-
scribed: The tlmeplece is similar in
appearance to an ordinary hunting-case
watch. The cases are lnCrusted with
diamonds, rubies and emeralds. The
dial, which is gold, is also ornamented
with diamonds, rubies and emeralds,
and contains four smaller dials, each Of
which faithfully records the progress of
time in its own division. The watch
performs seven different functions, and
the mechanism necessary to secure the
perfect working of the whole is gov
erned by the winding button at the top,
as in an ordinary timekeeper
The watch is minute repeater, and
by striking a gong indicates the hour,
the quarter and the minute. Thus by
pressing spring the time may be de-
termined at any hour of the night. or
when no light is available. In addition
to this perfect chronograph action
divides time into accurate tfths Of sec
onds. This mechanism may be set in
motion or stopped at pleasure, being
controlled by the pressure of q button
over the figure y, which starts, stops
and brings back to zero the slender
center second hand which revolves
around the large dial.
Ihere IL also an ordinary small second
hand and a dial which shows the sec
onds when the chronograph is at rest.
This smaller dial is placed in semi
circle, showing miniature, which,
though apparently stationary, is NOV
ing and showing exactly the age and
phases of the moon. The remaining
three small dlals constitute perpetual
calender, one showing the months,
another the days of the week, while the
third points to the day of the month.
SO ingeniously is this constructed that
it shows FEBRUARY 20 once in four
years only, while the dial indicating
the months has twelve names repeated
four times around its circum ferance, the
groups being marked l, 2, 3 and 4, the
the position Of the Indicator showing
how may years have passed since the
previous leap year. Bombay Journal.

Two Great Remedies.

The human citadel is open to at
tacks from two sources, and, aside
from accidents, these two are the ave
nues from which all of the maladies
that affiict the race spring. The first
of these are what are known as the eX~
cretOry organs. These are the lungs,
the kidneys, and the skin. These
suffer from congestion, which takes
the form of colds. Starting from what
is called cold, the maladies that re-
suit are widespread, ranging from a
cough to consumption. They attack
all ages and all stations. No one IS
free from these troubles. There is,
however, a remedy that is safeguard.
This is REDS GERMAN COUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains no poison,
but it will heal any form Of lung
trouble, Or any malady that arises
from cold. The other class Of dis
eases arise from arrangement OF the
digestive organs, and result IL C0nsti-
patton. When the bowels do not act, the
stomach soon refuses to digest the food,
and we are Il oubled with indigestion,

Tasks That Must Be Done.

Nature has assigned important tasks to the
liver and the bowels, and being mutually de-
pendent upon each other for the regular and
adequate discharge of these tasks, a cessation of
work by one causes the other to lapse into in
activity. The tasks of secretion and evacuation
must be performed, or the system is poisoned
and disordered Moreover, fatal Inflammation
of the bowels or abscess of the liver are apt TO
ensue if inaction of these organs is allowed to
go unheeded. The dangerous tendency should
be checked at the outset with Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters an anti-blious specific and laxa-
