The bloodhound Not Ferocious

The Bloodhound Not FerociOus.
Christian Union.
One of the loveliest dogs ever bred,
one of the gentlest and most loyal,
has by some curious misapprehension
OF his qualities fallen into such disre
pute that the Legislature of the State
of Massachusetts has enacted a statue
which makes it a misdemenOr for any
one to keep dog of this breeding
within the Common eaith. This is
the bloodhound, which is generally
supposed to follow the trail of men,
and catching them, to rend their hu-
man victims limb from limb. II this
were the characteristic of the dog l
should not blame those who have
contributed to his dIsrepute. But as
matter of fact, a well bred and we'll

out of her way to maiign a family of
dogs. But those who dramatized Mrs.

that it has not had q pack of dogs.

AS YOU GoTHRoUGH LIFE.

DON'T look for flaws as you go through
life,
And even when you find them
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat
blind,
And lock for virtue behind them:
For the cloudest night has a hint oil
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding:
1t is better by far to hunt for q star
Than the spots of the sun abiding.
The current of life runs either way
To the bottom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the
rivers course
And think to alter Its motion.
Don It waste the curse on the uni.
Remember it lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your
puny form,
But bend and let 1t go DER you.
The world will new er adjust itself
To suit you whims to the letter,
Some things must 60 wrong your
whole life loug-
And the sooner you know IL the
better.
1t is folly to fight the Infinite
And 60 under at last in the
wrestle;
The wisest man shapes into Gods
As the water shapes into vessel.

Pears
Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. Youfcan trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

Youthful Pickpockets,

Speaking of pick pockets, says an
old detective, the thieves OF that
class who give the police the most
trouble and get away with more
money and purses are, as a rule, ur-
chins, none of whom are more than
IL years old. They get into q crowd
and pretend they are looking at the
displays in the shop windows. They
are just tall enough to reach wo-
mans pocket or handbag and to get
into a mans overcoat pockets. They
pass the property stolen to cOnfeder-
ates and get it out of the way as soon
as possible.

Some Baby Figures.


From Baby.
A baby is born at every beat of the
human heart. That is more than one
for every tick of the clock. These
"living jewels las the poet calls
babies) dropped unstained from
heaven" take wings and fly back
whence they came one for every
minute in the day. From January
to December 81 between $4,000, DOC
and 4O, 600, 600 living jewels are drop
ped into this cold world. There are
more baby girls than boys. The pro-
portion of female births to male births
IS as 100 to 20. So that between 2 co.,
900 and 5000, COO more girls are born in
the world each year than boys. There
is always a surplus of women, and the
extra number of girl babies keeps up
the supply. The rate of infant NOR
tally is enormous. In round numbers,
5000 900 babies never live long enough
to talk; 5000, 900 more never have a
chance to walk or run, and $685. 0O
more never get cid enough TO go to

out your paper and pencil and try this

Parts OF the United States.
In Mansfield, Ohio, many years
ago, it was generally believed that
the seeds of "Job's tears" worn
around the neck, would cure goitre,
as would amber of gold beads. Up
through New England teething child

charm, which were kept at the drug
stores to ward off sore throat and
diphtheria.
In Michigan q double cedar knot is
carried in the pocket to cure rheuma-
tism, and in New Hampshire a man
carried gall from the stems of gold
en-rod for the same disease. A small
white grub is in the gall, and he
thought as long as the grub remained
alive no rheumatism could get hold
of him.
Hickory nuts, the buckeye and It's
cousin, the horse chestnut, which
brings good luck in New Jersey, are
foes to rheumatism in different locali-
ties. Some people wear strange
ring made of potato, with q hole
bored through it, for rheumatism,
and others carry plain potato in the
pocket. The charm lie more potent if
the potato has been stolen. Almost
everything seems to have rheuma
