that a dog might have a preference in
matters of taste. Considering the kind
OF looking master to whom a dog will
often attach himself. it does not seem
likely that his artistic sense is very
highly developed 1t would appear
more probable that so long as he got
his drink he would care little or moth
ing what the receptacle Of the fluid
looked like.
But whether it makes any DIFF
ference to the dog or not, there are
human beings who will have to look at
that fountain, and it is refreshing to
discover at least one municipal officer
who has some regard for the appear
ance of things. There is really no rea-
son why fountain which is for dogs
should be an offense to the eye. any
more than a fountain which is for hu-
man beings. or course, it need not be
elaborately designed or of costly ma
terial, but the SIMPLEST things are
often the most genuinely artistic. if
they are perfectly suited TO their use.

WHEN ALL SIGNS FAIL.
BY ANDREW COMsTOCK MCKENZIE.

Two small hands with nonchaance
Are pulling apart daisy white,
Leaving my fate to the merest chance;
Counting my heart with eyes that dance
While l protes. with sullen might
When has loved with proven power
Shall his love be judged by the build of fower9
Whenever rose is in your hair
My heart grows so soft, Suzette.
I'd count those petals with loving care
Each precious leaf you used to wear
And yet flower makes you forget.
To You give of my life the best
You Try my worth with flowers test
Since a daisy says ''He loves you not
My heart must go unheard
If you trust TO the weeds of a vacant lot
There is little of the fight I've fought
Still less of pleading word.
To see you counting so debonair
Is proof enough that you do not care
| hear her sigh with mock regret
As from her hands the petals fall.
Am l counted out, oh fair Suzette2
Does the tally tell love you yet7
Or does this end it all?
Says gay Suzette, with eyes that shine:
THE daisy lies; l know you're mine"

As taken home by death; disaster has
crushed bright hopes, or worse still,
sin has chained one of the household,
and the family life is married, if not
ruined.
A beautiful young woman lived in
such home--one in which the ia
ther had been dragged down by the
demon Drink. Her life became un-
endurable, and she left home in order
that she might find more congenial
surroundings. After a time she be-
came a Christian, and believing that
she should try and save her own, she
resolved to return to her home, and,
AZ possible, help her father.
But" said one of her friends,
what viii you do when he finds fault
with your efforts to please him?"
Try little harder" she answered,
gently.
"But sometimes he will be unreason-
able and unkind, and you will want to
answer him harshly. What will you
do them"
"Pray little harder" was the as
suring response.

Among nature lovers In England a

The capacity OF these fish for devouring
large quantities of food is something
marvellous, but the peculiar thing is
that they change the usual order of

the bird and makes a meal Of him.

CIGARETTE INEBRIETY.
The Truth I'm Regard to This Little
Deatroyer, and Wherein Lies
It's Great Harm.

II is impossible to study the cigar
cite habit intelligently without at the
same time considering the whole SUBJ
ject of the effects of tobacco upon the
human system. For the cigarette
habit is only one form of the tobacco
habit. Its chief peculiarities, as dis
tnguished from the other forms of
the use of tobacco, are three in num-
Der: G) 1t indnlged in to very
great extent by young and growing
boys; ~ the cigarette, being only "a
little cigar" and mild and pleasant
In its immediate effects, is in some
instances smoked almost constantly.
(3) also, because of its mildness, it is
the common practice to inhale the
smoke, thus largely increasing the
poisonous effects of the nicotine.
which is the chief deleterious agent in
tobacco.
A careful examination of the
charges often made against the cigar
cite, as containing arsenic, opium and
other poisonous ingredients, aside
from those properly belonging to to-
bacco, and also as being a fertile
source OF insanity and crime. has
shown that they are almost wholly
without foundation in fact, being
largely created by the fertile magma
tons of yellow newspaper reporters
and anti-tobacco extremists. These
charges, 1t is true, have been widely
circulated and illustrated by a most
astounding collection of sensational
stories. For example, one of the most
enterprising and widely-circulated
journals IN America declared recent
ly in its editorial columns that the
newspapers of New York have within
little over year published accounts
OF 90 cases of insanity, robbery, MUIR
der, suicide, commissions, blindness
and death caused by the use of the
cigarette. 1t further claims that it
is prepared to furnish names, dates
and circumstances connected with
every one of these cases. Charges
similar to these have been circulated
broadcast throughout the land, and
are religious1y believed by many per-
sons who are opposed to the use of the
cigarette. AS a matter OF fact, the
truth about the cigarette is bad
enough, and does not need to be boil
stored up by any extravagant state
ments or questionable arguments.
We may regard it 81 settled that
whatever harm is done by the cigar.
cite is done by the tobacco of which
1T is composed, and not by the rice
paper In which It is wrapped, or any
