veneer used for wrapping.

Wood veneer is used to some extent
for doing up bundles, instead of paper.
Curtain pole manufacturers, for in
stance, when shipping or delivering
poles in small lots wrap them up in
veneer. 1t costs a little more than
paper, but not much, and tits much bet
ter for the purpose. Poles thus wrapped
up are less likely to be creased by the
cords tied around them, and the veneer
is a better protection from bruises in
handling. The veneer used for thispur-
pose is usually of elm wood and made in
the same factories where the poles are
made. Veneeris also used for wrapping
UP picture mouldings.-N. Y. Sun.

DOGS ON THE WAGON SEATS.
Faithful Canine Guardians of Their
Masters Properly.

Matters Property.
One of the familiar sights of city life
in Chicago is the dog perchcd on the
seat of delivery wagon or with his
head protruding from the rear of the
vehicle and barking Justify at some
supposed intruder. The sight has be-
come so common as to attract but little
attention from the passers-by, but only
few years ago its rarity would have
demanded instant attention. Take it
around the big wholesale grocery
houses downtown and the majority of
the wagons that are backed up to the
curbstone have a vigilant four-footed
guardian in them. Most of these dogs
are shaggy-coated terriers of one kind
or another, without any claim to high
breeding, but with the merit of inces-
SAINT and wiry watchfulness. Let any
one but the owner lay his hand upon
the horse, wagon or contents and at
once the dog sets up savage and noisy
protest, in which all the dogs in the line
of wagons join.
One of these truckmen, when asked
why it was that SO many of them had
dog on the wagon, answered: 'To watch
out for thieves. You see" he con-
tinued, 1--WE carry many small pack
ages, and maybe before get rid of my
load l have to visit dozen places, leav-
ing my wagon and contents unprotect-
ed while l 60 into each house. There
are always thieves watching for just
such opportunities, and before | had a
dog every little while something would
be stolen from my wagon and would
have to pay the loss. Since have had
my dog l have not lost anything.
"How did I train the dog to stay in
the wagon? Oh, that was easy. just
tied him there and kept him tied for
three or four months, and by that time
he was on to his job. Then the dogs de-
velop generally great affection for the
horses and stay nights with them. My
dog sleeps in the stall with my horse
and the animals are almost inseparable.
have tried to take the horse out with
out the dog once or twice, just to try
him, but the pup set up such racket
when left in the barn alone that I was
glad to let him out"
Some OF the big express companies
are now putting dogs in their wagons
as additional safeguard. One noticed
yesterday had a bull terrier Of most
ferocious mien on the>seat. Pity the
sneak thief who ever attempts to filch
anything from that wagon! He never
will get away with it.-Chicago Chron-

NO DANGER IN GRAPE SEEDS.
Much Dreaded. Appendicitis Not to Be
Caused by Them.

There is popular and false notion
that APPENDICITIS is caused by grape
seed, an orange seed or some other for
eign substance getting into the vermi-
form appendix. The true cause is the
setting up of inflammation and conse-
quent gangrene in the tissue OF the
appendix, usually due to insufficient
circulation of blood in the part
itself. In thousands of operations
which have taken place-many in
time to save the life of the patient, and
many too late-there is not one authen-
ticated case of a foreign substance. such
as seed, being found in the appendix.
This will be more fully realized when
one has in mind that the interior of the
appendix is only big enough to admit
a medium-sized darning needle. Its
great liability to disease is due entirely
to its low order of vital resistance.
That is, it is an organ which appears to
have no actual use in the present ma
chinery of man, but in its earlier stages
of mans development it is believed to
have been large pouch that played an
important part in the digestive opera
tions of the human system. BY ages of
disuse hasgradually shrunk to its pres
ent dimensions, and is knownto science
as a vestigial organ, one which is only
a remnant of its former self, and pos
sessing but a vestige of its original
functions.
This becomes clear if some other parts
of the body which now seem to have no
use are considered. The tonsils are in
this class, and also the wisdom teeth,
and both are peculiarly subject to dis
ease.-N. Y. Journal.

Years ago when prohibitionlsts were
making desperate efforts in behalf OF
their cause, many we'll meaning men
who otherwise would have supported
prohibition, accepted the compro-
mise of the dispensary liw, like all
compromises this proved an ispomln-
i1as failure. 1t is but due to say
that the law has never had fair
trial, and that the very men elected
to carry out and enforce the law,
themselves gave it the death blow,
for never has more falsehood and dis
honor, and trickery been exposed
than has recently come to light.
South Carolina tried the experiment
of legalizing sin, and failed; she has
touched pitch and been defiled. The
proud emblem of proud State,
adorns the pocket of every drunkard
in the street, is trampled under foot
in the streets, is hurled by the
drunken husband at his trembling
wife and children, has become IN
