AN ODD eeccAR.


One afternoon, while strolling along
the Gale Ancha, in Cadiz, | met sew
eral ac~quaintances ut the corner OF
that street and the Plaza Constitution,
says a writer in Harper's Young People.
We stopped for a friendly chat, and
were about to separate when my aiten-
ton was attracted to q handsome
French poodle dog at my side, seated
on bis launches and looking mp in my
face. His comical little c~ountenance
expressed so much intelligence that |
stopped and pattcd him on the head,
when he commenced barking and vio-
lently working his forelegs after the
manner OF dogs who have been taught
Ito beg"
"What can he wish?" said !. Sure

But having seen dogs who were fond
Of tobacco / held my cigar toward
him. As SOC MS he smelled it he

q large copper" from my pocket
held IL before his eyes. SO great were
his manifestations of delight that |
was certain that | had OWNED his
wants. threw the money to him,
which he caught in his mouth. and
running across the street disappeared
In a bi kery.
To our establishment he emerged
from the shop in n few moments, bear
ing in his mouth a neatly wrapped
bundle. One OF my friends tried to
take it from him. but he would not al
low this, and insisted on placing 1t ut
my 70 =. picked 1t up, removed the
wrapper. and found n large bun busted
with sugar. This be ate with great
relish. We remained for awhile TO see
il he would bcsi,gc another paSScr-by;
but no, he had had enough for the
present, and. coiling himself mp in the
doorway. settled down for a quiet nap.
This exhibition OF Intelligence think
worthy of note, and particularly so for
the reason that the dog was apparent-
ly acting independently, there being
NO M lear TO prompt or direct him.

1t is among the follies OF which the man
ufacturers Of many proprietary remedies
are guilty, TO term their medicines pan
aceas, or To claim for them the quality
OF panaceas. There Is no such thing as
a 'panacea," which means a remedy
adapted 20 all diseases. This absurdity
has never been perpetrated by the pro-
prietors of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
But they do claim, and with justice,
that it IS a remedy of general utility,
and this because II restores that
regular and vigorous condition oi
the stomach, liver and bowels which con-
duce TO the recovery OF general health
Thus IL f~ortifles the system against
malaria by iniusing stamina, and causing
harmonious action of the organs which,
as long as they do right. are the best
guaranty against an endemic malady like
chills and fever. II accomplishes a dou Die
purpose by stimulating activity of the
kidneys. since il not only prevents their
disease and decay. but expels from the
blood through them impurities that cause
rheumatism, govt and dropsy, Use it with
confidence.

PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION.
Certain Breathing Movements Claimed
to lie OF the Greatest ysiue.

I think il is evident that proper de-
yelopment aud expansion Of the lungs
by mean of well regulated breathing
must be regarded as Of the greatest
value in the prevention and in the
treatment of the inactive stages OF
pulmonary consumption. saws DIR.
Thomas j. MAYS in the Century. The
more simple the method the more ef-
fectiye and practical will be The re-
suits which flow from ii. Among the
many exercises which are recommend
ed for this purpose the following move
ments are very valuable: The arms,
being used as levers are swung back
ward as FAR as possible on a level with
the shoulders during each inspiration,
aud brought together in front on the
same level during each expiration. Or
the hands are brought together above
the head while inspiring, and gradual
is brought down alongside the body
while expiring. A deep breath must
be taken with each inspiration, and
held until the arms are gradually
moved forward, or downward, or
longer. in order 10 make both methods
fully operative.
Another very serviceable chest exer-
else - 10 take n deep inspiration, and,
during expiration. in a loud voice
count or sing as long as possible. A
male person with 4 good chest can
count up to sixty or eighty, while in a
female, even with good lungs. this
power is somewhat reduced. Practice
of this sort will slowly develop the
lungs, and the increased ability 10
count longer is a measure OF the inn
provement going on within the chest.
Or, again. the taking of six or eight
full and deep breaths in succession
every hour dnring the day, either
while sitting al work or while walking
out in the open air, will have a very
beneficial effect.
The breathing of compressed and
raretied air is attracting wide atten-
ton at the present time in connection
with the prevention and the treatment
Of pulmonary consumption, and is an
other mode wherewith the chest ca
pacity can be decidedly improved.
When air is breathcd in this manner
there is felt during each inspiration a
gentle distension Of the whole chest,
while during expiration 2 feeling of
emptiness is experienced.
Consumption is not a disease which
originates in a day, but it Is the out
growth Of morbid habits and agencies
which may even antedate the birth o!
the individual. Defective breathing
il one CT these habits and its permit
cious prevalence is more widespread
than is generally supposed.

SMASHED THE CRYSTAL.
Curious 40. Know whether an Oft-Re-
peated Tale Was True.

To say what you mean and mean
what you say is a good rule 10 follow
always, says Hnyper's Young People.
An amusing story which illustrates
the value Of this course was told some
years ago by an old gentleman who
was visiting a rolling mill for the first
time. He had heard wonderful stories
of the machinery in the mill, and he
was DESTROYS of putting some Of them
TO test.
IL have been told" said he to the
Zimmerman, rs he watched the great
steam hammer rising and falling. that
q good Zimmerman can break the
crystalo OF a watch with that thirty-ton
hammer"
Yes, SIR" said the hammer man;

Il should like TO see it," said the old
gentleman, eagerly feeling in his watch
pocket.

anxious to see il tried
He laid his watch on the great anvil
plate, the hammer rose 10 It's full
heIght, and The next instant all It's
ponderous weight, with q crushing
force that shook the ground for an
acre round, came down on the watch.
There, sir" said tho Zimmerman,
quietly, IF you don't believe that
crystal is broken, just stoop down and
you can see it sticking TO the ham,
mcr."
The curio1. cid gentleman swallow

shat it was TO break the crystal with

"Oh. yes said the Zimmerman

Dish myself, but it's all CANNON. /
don't believe it. But you can break
the crystal every time"
II the visitor had said what he meant
he would undoubtedly have saved his
watch, but it must be confessed that
If the Zimmerman had not been one Of
the meanest men in the world he
would have saved it anyhow.

STORM SWEPT NEW YORK

Suffers From ioyclone Driving Up
From the West Indias-old Boatmen
Never Saw Such Scenes.
New YORK, Aug. 3o.-The violent storm
which swept the Atlantic coast and surged
up to New York, In tide higher than any
ever known, as old boatmen say, 10 the
same that lashed Florida on Sunday. It
centered we'll inland and reached out in
every direction for a distance of more
than 1,50o miles. As slmost all tele'
graphic connections are broken, the sig
nal bureau was unable to give q complete
report of the storms course, or uf It's
exact direction, but from the local obser-
vntions 1t was surmised that the cyclone
had gone westward and would probably
make its way out to see through the ST.
Lawrence valley.
New York got but light portion Of the
storm. At East Chester, a suburb ea Ut of
the city, located on the sound, the damage
is greater than here. The long distance
telephone line between New York and
Boston has been badly wrecked. Boats
have been wrecked in the East Chester
creek, and in Pelham bay three yachts
have gone down on the rocks. Reports
from City island say that q seventy five
foot steel yacht has gone ashore on Greens
flats and is complete wreck. A thirty
foot yacht was sighted Off the New Re-
chelle shore, floating keel up. No partic-
ulars as to the extent of the damage to
yachts and shipping in general can be
learned,
