SPOT, THE QUEENS PET FOX TERRIER.
the freshest Of straw, a well ventilated
dining room and a yard of his own, and
connected with these are a number OF
courts, where they are often turned out to
scamper and frolic.
The queen is well acquainted with them
all and visits them often to look after
their welfare and enjoy their company.
Around the kennels is yeranda, where she
walks and admits her canine friends to q
familiarity not accorded to royal favorites
OF superior order of being. They may
jump and fawn upon her and receive in
return many gentle pat and caress.
One of the queens prime favorites Is
Marco, tawny old Spitz, said to be the
finest of his kind in England.
Spot, the brightest and liveliest OF white
fox terriers, with lemon colored markings,
has long been pet of her majesty and is
one of the favored three dogs that con-
stantly accompany her to Scotland and on
her travels. Spot has record of 22 rats
in an hour. Roy, beautiful collie, and
Gina, a Pomeranian, usually complete
this highly favored trio.
Gina is little darling, weighing just
7% pounds. Although she traces proud
ancestry back to the crusaders and is one
of the most famous dogs in the world,
Gina is as sweet and gentle as she is tiny.
Another pet of long standing with the
queen is Jenny, snow white donkey now
26 years old. Jenny was very young when
she first took the queens fancy and was
sent to Windsor After being properly
trained she became great favorite with

Benefits of Gargling.

II people would wash out their mouths
twice or three times a day with an anti
septic solution, there would not be near SO
much sickness. In the last ten years l
have never had n cold, sore throat or fever,
and ascribe this immunity solely to the
fact that follow this plan rigidly. There
are any number of proprietary antiseptics
that are excellent for this purpose, but
many more simple agents that are as good
or better One of the best of the latter Is
carbolic acid A very weak solution of
this gargled and held in the mouth two or
three times day will work wonders. I'm
mediately after using one will find that
the mouth feels cleaner. l believe that
great majority of the common throat and
lung troubles come from the lodgment of
disease microbes within the mucous men,
branes of the mouth. The free use Of an
tiseptics will kill these germs.-St. Louis

AN OLD REMEDY REVIVED.
A European Physician Recommends Mer
curial Frictions For Consumption.

A European Physician Recommends Mer-
curial Frictions For Consumption.
1t is often said that there is nothing
new under the sun, and tho treatment of
consumption by mercurial frictions" is
new proof of the fact. However, it makes
no difference whether mercury has been
tried before or not as it will only be too
gladly taken up again If 1t is really effica-
Cious in this disease, over which there is
so little control According to the Euro
pean edition of the New York Herald, NJ.
Strizower claims, if not to have absolutely
cured, to have, at any rate, greatly inn
proved by the peculiar treatment employed
cases of the most serious form of the dis
ease. After tho mercurial frictions he
says that tho fever decreased, the expecto-
ration lost its purulcnce, the patient in
creased in weight in two or three months,
and finally the stothoscopic signs con-
nected with tho pulmonary LESSONS disap-
peared.
Ho says that other physicians have met
with similar success in tho treatment of
consumption by mercurial frictions, and
that this is not a specific remedy, but one
that can be counted on in all cases In
which tho LESSONS have not gone so far as
to be incura bic. The efficacy of the treat
ment is greater than that of any remedy
tried under similar circumstances up to
the present time

Bert and Johnnie Dunton, while at
Newport, Christmas, had quite an unex-
pected, thrilling and exciting fox hunt.
Early in the afternoon the boys took
double barrelled gun and with an Irish
setter started out for small game. While
going along the road into piece OF woods,
their attention was attracted by the bay
ing of hounds, and soon large fox rushed
from the woods, closely followed by i've
hounds. The boys quickly dropped to the
ground and Bert cooked his gun and made
ready to fire. The fox was coming straight
toward them, but scented danger and
swerved his course, and he being in fair
range, Bert opened fire, but his gun not
having a charge only for birds, failed to
do the cunning animal any harm, except
relieve him Of several tufts Of hair.

Meat and Muscle.

worker will consume 1893 pounds of meat
per year, while the English steel worker
consumes only ia pounds the French
man only 81 pounds and the Belgian iron
worker only 45 pounds per year. Workers

great muscular exertion is required, con-
sumo larger quantities of nitrogenous food

disapproval of the efforts being made in
Congress to place wool upon the free
list Such action it believes will seri-
ously cripple, or completely destroy the
sheep industry of Vermont, and thereby
inflict serious loss upon large num-
Der of the citizens, and prove beneficial
to none. We, therefore, urge respect
fully upon our representatives in Con-
gress, that they use all the means in
their power to prevent this legislation.

never meant to be executed, and prom
Uses never meant to be fulfilled. and then
wonders that the child is not truthful
and honest and straightforward in his
dealings with others.
The home ought to teach industry,
promptness and order. The market val
ne of child's work is not the measure
of its worth. Whatever portion of the
daily work falls to the child's share he
should understand that it belongs to him
legitimately as member of a partnel-
ship, and that his reputation depends
upon his doing it promptly, regularly,
aud In a workmanlike manner. whether
he likes the work or not is not at all to
the question. Your child needs to learn
what a multitude of men and women
have never learned, and what the judg-
ment approves is to be conscientlously
carried out without any reference to the
fact that it is no fun. A great stumbling
block with children is their idea that
people when they are grown up do just
what they please because there is no Wis
ible compulsion upon them. 1t is in the
home that they must be taught that
obedience is the law of life under which
parent and child both live, and that we
are to do the right not because any one
says must to us, but because we say must
to ourselves. If pfomptness be the most
difficult of all virtues to teach our child
rem, it is that whose possession will be
priceless boon to them. 1t is worth
small fortune to them to be taught to go
without delay from one thing to another,
neither wasting their time nor stealing
that of others.-Northweste University
