A SUGGEsTIoN.-The following item
from the Centreville Citizen carries
much with it that the sick and afflicted
feel and which should be remembered
and acted upon by those In good heaLn:
Grandma Lox, of this city, wishes her
friends to know that her health has so
far failed as to make it almost impossi-
BILE for her to call and SEQ them or fill
her old accustomed place at church,and
that a visit from those of her friends
who are more fortunate in the matter
of good health would give her world
of pleasure"

got up and walked around and took him

him on the shoulder and remarked:

began to look. ''Took part at Shiloh,

congestion which takes the form of colds.
Starting from what is called cold tho

however, a remedy that is safeguard
This is REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains no
poison, and it will heal any form of lung
trouble or any malady that arises from a.
cold. The other class of disease arise
from arrangement of the digestive organs
and result in constipation. When the
bowels do not act the stomach soon refuses
to digest the food and we are troubled
with Indigestion and long train of dis

DOGS AND THEIR TAILS.

Iney WnR ThGm In order TO convey In~
formation.
Dr. Louis Robinson, the ingenious
man of science who experimental with
babies in q London workhouse in order
to prove their descent from monkeys,
in an article entitled "Canine Morals
and Manners" says: I'm the case of
all hunting dogs, such as foxhounds, or
wolves which pack together, the tail is
carried aloft, and is very free in move
ment 1t is also frequently rendered
more conspicuous by the tip being white,
and this is almost invariably the case
when the hounds are of mixed color.
When ranging the long grass of the
prairie or jungle the raised tips of the
tails would often be all that An indi-
vidual member of the band would see
of his fellows. There is no doubt that
hounds habitually watch the tails of
those in front of them when drawing a
covert If faint drag is detected
suggestive of the presence of fox, but
scarcely sufficient to be sworn to vo-
cally, the tail of the finder is at
once set in motion, and the warmer the
scent the quicker does it wag. Others
seeing the signal instantly joined the
first, and there is an assem- mblage of
waving tails before even the least
whimper is heard. Should the drag
prove doubtful one the hounds sepa-
rate again, and the waving ceases, but
If it grows stronger when followed up,
the wngging becomes more and more
emphatic, until one after another the
hounds begin to whine and give tongue
and stream off in Indian file along the
line of scent. When the pack is at full
cry upon strong scent the tails cease
to wave, but are carried aloft in full
view."
The moment when the dog most en-
| joys life is the moment when he sights
| game. That moment is the time that
he wags his tail must vigorously, in
order to announce his discovery to his
fellow dogs. In this way, by the habit
of association, he got to wagging his
tail whenever he was pleased, and the
more pleased he is the more vigorously
he wags his tail, so that the wagging OF
the dogs tail, under the influence oi
| pleasurable emotion, can be traced
directly to the time when the dog used
his tail as signal of the discovery ot

PEOPLE WITH QUEER WOUNDS.

Man Who stopped Cannon Ball With
His stomach.
There are some veterans with queer
records in attendance at this encamp-
ment. One of these, known familiarly
as Comrade Chase, who served in
Maine battery during the war, carries
the scars of forty-eight wounds receiv-
ed in q single battle, that of Gettys-
burg. His numerous wounds resulted
from the explosion of spherical case
Immediately in front of him at that
memorable battle.
Corporal John Burns, of Ohio, re-
ceives pension for a1peculiar wound
which is described in the pension bureau
as shot in the hip with barrel of SUI
gar" Burns was on guard duty at a
sharp railroad curve in Virginia during
the latter part of the war, and was
struck on the hip and disabled by bar
rel of sugar, which was thrown sudden
ly from the rickety car by the momem-
tum at the turn in the road. Another
veteran who is present is recorded in
the bureau as having stopped a cannon
ball with his abdomen. He was sitting
in a tent near headquarters when a
spent cannon ball came bounding along
and struck him in the stomach with
sufficient force to render him hors de
combat, but not to kill him.
Still another queer case is that of a
Pennsylvania veteran who will, no
doubt, be found in the silent brigade"
during the parade. He was rendered
totally deaf by cannon ball, which
whizzed by his head in uncomfortably
close proximity at the battle of Malvern
Hill. In describing the sensation after
ward he said it felt for an instant as if
fifty cyclones had burst loose about his
head. The conclusion also paralyzed
him for several minutes. There is an
other pensioner here who receives a
monthly allowance from Uncle Sans
till for a horse bite on the neck" He
was cavalryman, and claims to have
been bitten by vicious animal while
serving with Sheridan in his valley ride.
The bite resulted in partial paralysis of
| the spine. These are but few illus
trations OF the various and multitu-
dinous peculiarities of war which will
be represented at the Grand army en-.
campment.- Washington Post.

oid-Fashioned a Herbs.

Old-fashioned people could tell the
names, as well as the properties, of
many flowers, and had smattering of
knowledge, almost intuitive, of pot
herbs and simples, and a certain degree
OF plant lore was handed down from
parents to children. All this is being
fast forgotten, and the pretty country
names and the Old World meanings,
often of themselves a whole history in
a word, are alike relegated to the lum-
ber room of the past, disappearing be-
fore the botany manuals with their glib
vocabulary as swiftly as aborigines in
the track of civilization. The modern
Perdita would scarcely recognize her
posy; you must go back two generations
at least for the names, and, it is to be
feared, further still for their deriva-
tions. Poor selly things" said an old
dame recently, they can none of 'em
do as they used. When was girl my
mother would have stared to see the
doctors carriage at the door so long as
she could stir the yarb-pot; but it sims
as no one has their health nowadays;
they all larn themselves so dissatisfied,
they're forced to go to the towns to get
ill" And for the few who remain be-
hind the leisure, the ease, the careless
ness of country life is gone.-Macmil-
