Come wife," said good old Farmer Gray,
Put on your things, tits market day
And YEA be off to the nearest town.
There and back ere the sun goes down"
Spot? No, we'll leave old Spot behind,
But Spot he barked and Spot he whned.
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
Away they went at good round pace.
And Joy came into the farmers face,
Poor Spot" said he. did want to come,
But I'm awful glad he's left at home
He'll guard the barn, and guard the cot,
And keep the cattle out of the lot"
I'm not so sure of that" thought Spot,
The little dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his produce sold
And got his pay in yellow gold;
Then started homeward after dark.
Home through the lonely forest. Hark!
A robber springs from behind tree.
Your money or else your life" says he;
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The little dog under the wagon.
Spot meier barked and Spot ne'er whined,
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire and dirt
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground;
The robber uttered not n sound,
While his hands and feet the farmer bound
And tumbled him into the wagon.
Poor Spot, he saved the farmers life,
The farmers money, the farmers wife,
And now hero grand and gay
A silver collar he wears today;
Among his friends, among his foes
And everywhere his master goes
He follows, upon his horny toes.
The little dog under the wagon.

Giycerin for Affections of the Skin.


Glycerin is very extensively used in the
treatment of affections of the skin. In
many of these, more particularly In such
as are characterized by dryness and harsh
ness of the cuticle, glycerin of itself
effects a speedy improvement, while in
others, again, it serves valuable purpose
in bringing other remedies into direct re-
lation with the diseased structures.
In affections of the eye glycerin alone
or In combination plays an importent part
In the local treatment, while in certain
forms of deafness, arising from deficiency
of the waxy secretion in the outer meatus
of the ear, it works often like a charm
when dropped into the meatus so as to
Intricate that passage and the external
surface of the membrane tympani, com
monty known as the drum of the ear.
Glycerin when rubbed upon the surface
of the skin eifectually protects it from the
results of exposure to the air. A small
quantity applied to the skin will prevent
it from becoming chapped or chilled in
winter or from being burned and infamed
in the summer Hygiene.

A little boy of Mrs. McDonald's living
near here, fell against red hot stove
and was fearfully burned. The pain
was terrible, and it was thought the
burn was so severe as to scar the child
for life. | sold the lady.a bottle Of
Chamberlan's pain balm, which, after
greasing the sore, she applied. 1t soon
removed all the fire and eased the pain,
and in ten DAYS the boy was well, no
trace of the scar remaining. j. D..

Electricity In Medicine.

Although much is heard Of the applica-
ton of electricity in the treatment OF GER
tain classes of diseases, there is, according
to an electrical journal, but little positive
knowledge OF the therapeutic effect OF the
various kinds of currents employed in med
ical treatment. That electricity produces
a marked reaction ON the nervous system
is we'll known, but beyond this very little
can be said. The uses to which electricity
is applied in medical practice are numerous,
but there is not much uniformity in the
manner of application or the kind of cur
rent prescribed by different physicians for
5he same complaint.

less than three feet in height, yet he was of
perfect proportions. He spent many years
in travelling about to various places and
several amusing anecdotes are related of
him
The story is told that on one occasion
O'Brien. the Irish giant, who stood feet
inches high in his stockings, having been
invited to appear before some gentlemen
at dinner, while the guests We're looking
up with wonder at his towering stature,
suddenly drew from his pocket the little
Polish count and placed him on the table,
to the amazement and admiration of all
who were present.
1t is curious that giants, who are so very
tall, have it is said, very short lives, sell
dom living much beyond forty, while
dwarfs, who are short generally have long
ones. The life of this tiny Pole was
stretched out to the age of ninety eight.
In 1897 clergyman of Durham, England,
who had met the little count on his travels,
prevailed upon him to take up his resi-
dence in the neighborhood of that city, and
there he spent the last forty years of his
life. AS he was clever and witty, spoke
several languages and was of very engag-
ing manners, he was much courted and
admired in the society of Durham until
his death, which took place in 1887

Entering and Leaving a Carriage.

Retain sitting position till one foot,
preferably the left is on the step; then with
the other step easily down. This is simple
and natural in victoria or brougham;
more difficult in higher hung cart or road
wagon. To mount a coach or drag Is
worse than either. A woman should
touch the vehicle with one hand only while
the other rests on the shoulder of the
groom or gentleman who is assisting her.
And the woman who is accorded the high
privilege of the box seat should be careful
of her ribbons and parasol. There should
be no loose ends of the one. and the second
should be carefully kept away from the
MISUNDERSTANDING.

mother, with all the youthful beauty and

Mrs. Bryce has hobby of dressing in an

Question of Material to BE Used I'm street
Pavements.
IL land asphalt a. good as lake asphalt? That
is the question that is agitating the Commits
sioners at present.
The claims Of the representatives of the land
asphalt people have heretofore been recounted.
They held that the land asphalt, when subjected
to treatment, is the equal of the article from
the famous lake at Trinidad. The discussion is
over the award for the improvement of the
streets of this city for the next fiscal year.
II will be remembered when the bids were
opened the Schiliinger Paving Company. which
proposed to use the land article were the low
est bidders by $500 on three streets and claimed
the award
The Law states that only the best article shall
be used in the construction of streets and the
Commissioners are DESTROYS of complying with
the law.
The inspector of asphalts and cements has
been appealed 20 several times and his reports
have all favored the lake asphalt. which is con-
troued exclusively by the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing Company.
There IL another stipulation in the specifca-
tons which provides that the Commissioners
before awarding the contract shall be assured
of the competency of the bidder 10 do the work
The Schilllnger Paving COMPANY while il
has no plant. promises 10 have one ready twenty
days after the contract j. awarded
Matters assumed such a complex condition
that Capt. Rossel directed Capt Fiebeger 10

Today the representatives of the Schillinger
Company had an informal hearing before the
Commissioner They submitted a proposition
whereby their company is to be awarded con-
tract for one-third of the work on which il WAS
the lowest bidder. agreeing TO furnish bond
for the character of the work and TO not only
keen it in repair for Ave years, but keep il in

and then two blacksmiths. Messrs. Busey and
