DOG BITES POLICE.

warrant was served today on
julius Miller, proprietor of the
Washington saloon. on a charge Of
keeping a vicious dog. John de Wolf.
special policeman, is the complainant.
The dog, large Newfoundland, has
an intense hatred for policemen and
never misses an opportunity to
worry the officers of the law either
by growls or swapping at them.
On February 3. according to the
story of De Wolf, he entered the sa-
loon and as soon as the animal caught
sight of him he leaped out from be-
hind the railing and buried his fangs
in the policeman's leg.
The dog recently made an attack
on officer Thompson. who shot at
him. De Wolf will ask that Miller
be ordered to have the animal killed.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 28.-While

No. 81 on the Southern railway, the
southbound fast mail train, jumped
from trestle, seventy-nve feet high,
half mile north of Danville, Va, Sun
day afternoon and was almost demol-

including mail carriers, on the train
nine were killed and seven injured.

Profitable PoIiteness.

"The custom house nuisance can be
greatly abated by a knowledge of for
eign manners" says an experienced
traveller. "Politeness is not absolutely
thrown away even on American GUS
tom house officials, and in France il is
three-quarters of the battle. The whole
secret Of getting easily and comfortably
through the douane lies in the greatest
possible politeness and the least posi-
BILE appearance of furry. Pardon, mon
sieur; 81 vous aurez la bonte.' ETC., Is a
safe prelude to happy and rapid re-
lease. If you have nothing to declare
say so at once and at the same time be-
gin to open your bags and boxes. In
nine cases out of ten this will have the
effect of making the officer chalk all
your boxes without word. A little
joke, too, about the absurdity Of i'm
porting anything into so perfect couh-
try as France or some such mild Jest
will often go far to put you on the best
OF terms with the douanier. But above
all things be polite. Remember that in
France you cannot lay it on too thick"

she would not touch them and with
the help Of two sticks, which she. used
like a pair of tongs; put them on a

about the Ratchet. No one would touch
IT. 1t had been defiled. OF course this
was pure affectation and playing to the
gallery on the ayah's part. AT home

BLOOD CIRCULATION.
Breathing and It's Relation to the
Secret Of Good Health.

Breathing and It's Relation to the
Secret Of Good Health.
The secret of health, as every intelli-
gent physician knows, is free and full
circulation Of the blood, and this circu-
lation is dependent absolutely on thor
ough oxygenation. In many cases
where erroneous habits of living have
been so long continued that congestion
has become chronic in one shape or an
Other-obesity, govt, rheumatism, con-
stipation or tuberculosis having
camped in the system and crippled it
the patient is not apt to be in a condi-
ton to readily assimilate a sufficient
quantity of oxygen direct from the at
mosphere. The breathing apparatus
must first be properly developed, so
that the patient shall be able to grad
ually increase the supply Of air to the
system, until at last he RECEIVERS the
normal power of deep breathing.
With the building up Of the lungs
through proper breathing there is a
metabolism Of all the tissues and or
Sans, so that, for most men, breathing
exercises are more important than any
mere muscular exercise. Not only the
lungs, but all the internal organs are
brought into play by correct breathing.
1t develops the heart, stomach, liver
aad kidneys directly and indirectly and
1ionrTsfiss an these organs ,as'r they
should be ,nourished by more blood and
better blood in constant aid regular,
circulation. Breathing. therefore, is d
sovereign remedy for our national dis
ease OF nervous depletion. II. might
well replace the countless tonics, slim
ulants and anedynes now so commonly
resorted to, where results are nothing
less than tragic in thousands of cases.
