How Did the Dog Know ?

Wilmer Bird has a milk route in
Rising Sun which he served every
morning except Sunday. Through
the winter and as long as the
weather continued cool he furnished
milk on Saturday evenings to last
over Sunday. When the weather
got warm he ceased the Saturday
evening round.
Mr.. Bird s dairy is about two miles
from town and a neighbours dog
appears to derive much pleasure in
following the milk wagon every
morning and on Saturday evenings.
He didn't receive any special re-
ward in the way of a basin of milk,
but the daily trips appear to
afford his dogship a great deal of
satisfaction, and when the milk
wagon passes his house he falls in
behind and takes his morning
rounds, and on Saturday evening
he was always ready when the milk
wagon came along to follow. When
the temperature increased the pres
ent month the Saturday evening
trips we're discontinued. The first
evening the wagon failed
to 60 out, doggy after waiting
reasonable time marched up to Mr..
Birds to see what was the matter.
The question is, how did the dog
know when Saturday evening came
round? Was his memory so exact
that he was able to measure time

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
From the Fairhaven IN. " Register.

From the Fairhaven (N.Y.) Register
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism. A
few nights ago she was in such pain that
she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr..
Rowland for the doctor, but he had read
of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead
of going for the physician he went to the
store and secured bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hours time
was able to go to sleep. She now applies
it whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The rs
