The Faithful DOG

TORRINGTON, Conn. July 2.-The
faithfulness of his terrier dog saved
Fritz Funk. who resides near Harwin-
ton, from being gored to death by a
young bull yesterday. Funk was
leading the bull to water when the an
imal turned on him, telling him to the
ground. The dog heard his masters
cries for help, and went to his assist
ance.
BY biting the bulls legs, the smaller
animal succeeded in chasing the bull
away. but not before Funk had several
ribs broken and had sustained serious
internal injuries. from which II is
doubtful If he can recover.

Dearest Amy: Use p!erty Of perfume
now that so much infectious sickness is
about. The late NJ. Eugene Rimmel
once proved scientifically that per-
fumes have q distinct sanitary value as
a%ntiseptics and disinfectants. He as
serted that scent is a deadly poison to
animalculae, and in proof of this he IN
stanced the immunity enjoyed by he
workmen in the perfumers' shops and
factories, both in Paris and London,
when cholera was raging. The essences
he chiefly recommended as disinfect-
ants were eucalyptus, lavender. rose
mary, thyme, peppermint and penny
royal. I should not choose peppermint.

nice. Do use plenty Of it. This is no
