stage Of periodical literature in a volume that is
one of the very best of the ten in which the
fruits Of Lady Randolph ChurchiIls enterprise

varied in character and they unusually in

Most Gorgeous Lady Bessington," whose well
known portrait by Lawrence serves as frontis-
piece to the volume. Mr.. John Fyvie, the author
of these pages, has brought together a goodIy
number of anecdotes, and he sketches his heroine
with obvious liking for her picturesque traits
Her character. he admits, was far from flaw

undeserved" He closes repeating in a spirit

How Animals Doctor Th.n,,Iy,..

Many animals doctor themselves. and
among our domestic animals. the dog
and cat probably claim hrst place. Both
at times rat medicine plants AZ emet-
les, the dog selecting spear grass and
the cat showing a preference for vale
rian, marum and catmint. They vary
their treatment with an occasional dose
of ashes and cinders, just AZ the croco-
die, lizard and some birds swallow
gravel and stones to connteract a ft of
Indigestion. Both practice personal
cleanliness al a preventive, and their
unfailing habit Of licking bruises, cuts
and wounds to keep them In the condi-
ton nos favorable to healing is a
familiar characteristic. The elephant
uses his trunk cleverly In dressing
wounds and by this means applies
water, mud or dust to the injury.
Fierce carnivorous animals, when
trapped, frequently act as surgeons
and bite through a limb to free them
selves. and the salt ticks are regularly
resorted to by the deer and other herb
ivorous animals to keep themselves in
health.
