A Bengalese magistrate, having been
informed of the whereabouts of mad
dog, armed himself and went to the
place where the rsbid animal lay by n
house door. He learned upon inquiry
that two women were in the h use and
sent word to them that he Was about
to shoot the dog and therefore they
should not be alarmed by the report,
and that, as he might not intiict a fatal
wound at the first fire, and, in fact,
might miss, they should remain within
until notified. Such supreme conr-
tesy is in marked contrast with that
of western civilization.

Sweet Little Faces,

Beautiful faces are always features of Hoods Sarsaparilla calendars, and they were never more charming than they are this season. Hoods Sarsapa- rilla calendar for 1895 is heart shaped and is ornamented with representa- ions of Summer" and "Winter." A sweet little face which peeps out from a dainty cap, with the snow flakes fall ing all about, represents the season Of ice and snow, while the sunshine Of summer lights up another face at the left. The design was made by one of the most gifted water color artists in
 the country and the work of the litho-
 grapher is seemingly perfect. Hoods calendar, as usual, presents all the de- sired information about the lunar changes and other astronomical events. Ask your druggist for copy, and if his supply is exhausted send six cents in stamps for one calendar, or ten cents for two, to c. I. Hood & Co.,, Lowell l Mass.
