Food For Toy Doos.

Most people ovcrfecd toy dogs,
and the result is u fat, unhealthy
looking specimen, with a foul breath
and rough, staring coat. Some food
is supposed to be better than others
IN the growing of coats. My expert
ence has been that there is nothing
SO good for toy dogs as q judicious
mixture of finely cut up boiled meat
-beet or lamb necks are the cheap
est and answer the purpose admira-
bly-soal-ed bread from which the
yeast has been squeezed out, boiled
vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots,
spinach, beans, etc., and occasional
y rice, barley and oatmeal. To this
should be added the soup in which
the meat has been boiled, the mix
ture when finished being sufficiently
firm to take out in q spoon without
spilling. Once a day is sufficient for
the average toy dog, but for this
there is no cut and dried rule, an
active dog of a nervous tempera-
ment needing more food than tho
ordinary specimen-Outing.

HOME OF THE MOLE.
Gene OF the P%ccullaritIcs of This Oct;
Little Animal.

Sesne OF the P%eculiaritIes of This ODD
Little Animal.
The home of the mole, if nothing
else, would prove that it is not the
dull creature most people imagine it
to be. Viewing it from the outside,
this home would appear to be only
q hillock of firm and we'll troddcn
earth, but if it were possible for you
to pay t'lc mole a visit you would be
greatly surprised at what you would
lind under the mound of earth-a
snug, leaf lined sleeping chamber in
the very heart of the hillock, two
galleries, u ear the top, another
near the bottom, connected with
each other and with the main high
road and the ''runs" which radiate
from it in every direction by pas
sages of various lengths.
It would all be very bcwildcring
to you, but to the little builder it is
all plain-every passage, where it
begins and where it leads. And if by
chance it be surprised in its nest it
can withdraw into the central cham
Der and reach the highroad at once.
The mole is said to be a very thirsty
animal, and if it's home be not near
a stream of water it digs a number
of little pits or wells along its "run"
to catch the rain or dew.
A mole's eyes are very small (lar-
ger ones would be useless under
ground), but when it requires to use
them it eau bring them forth very
quickly from the mass of fur which
protects them. The quick ear, the
acute sense of smcll and the delicate
sense Of touch seem to serve tho an
imal in its dark journeys through
the earth instead of sight, and it is
by means of these senses that it Sc
cures its food and escapes its foes.
The most extraordinary thing
about a mole is the paw or hand
with which it digs. The two fore
paws are very large and are fur
nished with strong fiattened nails.
The hands are turned outward to
enable the animal to throw the
earth out Of its way. Another curl
GUS part of the mole is its fur, and
no matter how damp and Shiny the
mold through which the animal bur.
rows the fur remains perfectly
clean and velvety. That is because
it has n "grain," but lies smooth in
every direction. The short hairs
grow perpendicular from the skin
and are capable of turning with ey.
cry direction Of the animal.

ORIENTAL BULLS.
Examples Of the Stories the Arabs Tell
About the kurds.

About the kurds.
The Kurds in eastern Asia Minor
are regarded by the Arabs as stupid
people, wont to make the sort of
bull that i'll the west is popularity
ascribed to Irishmen. There is q
collection of stories which the Arabs
tell about them of which these are
fair examples:
Once a detachment of Kurds was
crossing q stream which was SO
muddy that they could not SEQ their
feet under the water.
1--WE have lost our legs" they said
and stood helpless, because without
legs they could not walk.
After awhile the pasta came bv.
What are you standing in that
water for?" he demanded.
eve have lost our legs and cannot
walk"
The pasha got some of his rttend-
ants to apply thongs to the backs of
the legless Kurds, and of &C urse
they jumped, thereby discovering
their legs again. Whcrcupon they
all fell on their knees and thanked
the pasha for having restored their
legs.
Once some Kurds were standing
under q cliff.
"No one knows how high that
cliff is" said one.
@Nc," replied another, "and q
stranger might come by and ask us.
It would be ~disgraceful not to
know"
"Then let us measure it."
"But we have no line long
enough"
"Well, we can measure it with our
bodies. Let one hang by his hands
to the edge and another hang to his
feet, and so on until we know how
many men it takes to hang the
whole distance"
So they started to form a living
plumb line Just as the last man
was climbing down the top man
tried to change the position Of his
hands, and they all fell and broke
their legs.
ooh, WELL" said one when he
came to, eve didn't need to know
the height of the cliff"
"No," said another, $50 it doesn't
matter. "-Yo uth's Companion.

a Milk Epidemic.

OF the typhoid epidemics traced
to milk one of the most typical was
that at Springfield, Mass, where in
July and August Of 1892 $50 cases
occurred concentrated in one Of the
most beautiful suburban districts of
that city. The investigation by Pro-
fessor W. T. Sedgwick showed that
the path Of the pestilence was coin
cident with the route of q certain
milkman. It was next found that a
portion of his product came from a
farm where several cases of typhoid
fever had occurred during the pre-
ceding summer. Shortly before the
outbreak of the epidemic the dis
charges from the patients were
spread upon a tobacco field. Manure
from this field carried on the boots
of the farmhands was obvious,about
and in a we'll near by. On the bottom
of this well and submerged in 1eaky
cans stood the milk tobe cooled be
fore it was sent to Springfield. The

Bodily Health and Mental Condition
Are Both Benefited by Re.

Some of the sunnicst dispositions,

The correctness Of this latter
