w nat L Man CANT Do,

A man cannot do two things at a
time. A woman will broil steak and
see that the coffee does not boil over,
and watch that the cat does not steal
the remnant of the meat on the kitchen
table, and dress the youngest boy, and
set the table, and see to the toast, and
stir the oatmeal, and give the orders to
the butcher, and she can do it all at
once, and not half try. Man has done
wonders since he came before the pub
lie. He has navigated the ocean, he
has penetrated the mysteries of the
starry heavens, he has harnessed the
lightning, and made it light the great
cities of the world. But he can't find
a reel of thread in his wifes work
basket; he can't discover her pocket in
q dress hanging in the closet; he cannot
hang out clothes and get them on the
line the right end up. He cannot hold
clothes pins in his mouth while he is
doing 1t either. He cannot be polite to
somebody he hates. He cannot sew on
a button. In short, he cannot do hun
dred things that women do almost in.
stinctively.

Dog with q f1lsuorx.

A dog with an interesting history ha,
just died in France. He was a New
foundland named Sultan, and he count
ed among his exploits the arrest of {,
thief, the capture Of an assassin, tht
rescue of child from drowning In tn,
Marne, and of a man who attempted ia
commit suicide by jumping from til,
Pont-Neuf into the Seine. For thi,
gallantry the Society for the Protection
of Animals presented him with a cola,
of honor three years ago. Latterly
Sultan was owned by the Comtesss
Foucher de Careil, who relied on hin
to protect her castle at Perdy, neal
Corbeil. Quite recently he prevented
the castle from being robbed. The no
bic dog has paid his devotion to duty
with his life, for he was found dead in
the park, poisoned by his enemies

A Total Disability Claim of $1,650 Paid to
a Man who was Afterward Cured.

The Monitor, a newspaper published at
Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered
this case two years ago, and published 1t at
length, which now seems, owing to the cure
of 1t, to be a miracle. The facts were SO
remarkable that many people doubted the
truth of them. They said: "It is too re-
markable; it cannot possibly be true; the
paper Is mistaken, and the man, although
he may think himself cured, will soon re-
lapse into his former condition." etc., etc.
The accuracy of its report called in ques-
tion, the Monitor determined to find out
definitely whether the facts were as stated
and whether the man would really stay
cured. They accordingly kept close watch
on the case for t,oo gears after the first ar
ticle appeared, and have just now published
another article about 1t In which the original
