A Sure Protection.

Barton. N. Dak., May 9.-Many cases
are being published of how diseases
have been cured and lives saved by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, but there is a
family in this place who use this reme-
dy as a protection against the coming
on OF diseases and with excellent re-
suits.
Mr.. W. A. Moffet says: "We have
no very serious illness or complaint for
we always use Dodd's Kidney Pills the
very moment we feel the least symptom
OF sickness and they soon put us right.
If we have a touch of lame back or
think the kidneys are not right, we
take a few Dodd's Kidney Pills and the
symptoms are soon all gone.
my brother had diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. l got some Dodd's. Kidney
Pills for him and although that was
several years ago, he has lived through
all the winters and springs since and is
still living. Dodd's Kidney Pills are
a wonderful medicine"

scaffold in solemn procession a criminal
once called to the governor Of the
prison: Just oblige me, guv-nor. by
telling me the day O. the week." Mon

HOSPITAL PETS.
ECGSSCNyGSN.GN

VI army, navy and other semipubiic
pets much that is entertaining has
been written. Hospital pets are not so
well known, but it is easy to imagine
the pleasure they give to a ward full
Of little patients, and no one could
doubt the statement Of a nurse, in the
Hospital, that they brighten many a
weary hour Of convalescence and ma
erially help toward a cure.
The first pet of which the nurse tells
is Jumbo, a wise old tortoise, which
lived, moved and had his happy being
in a children's ward in a New York
hospital. His curious wanderings
about the ward, his clumsy gait, his
air of antiquity and wisdom caused
many a child to forget pain; and to
nave Jumbo on the bed was the high
est reward the staff nurse could prom
Use to a little patient for good behavior
during the surgeons visit.
Nurse judy" was a fox-terrier which
1or nrteen years, was a close and low
ingly compassionate friend to every
little inmate of a children's ward in a
London hospital. None knew better
tina Nurse Judy that a dog that lives
IN a hospital must not bark, for there
were little sick ones whose sleep must
be disturbed. Barking was the only
canine privilege denied her, and she
was always cheerful under this ordeal
of silence, and more than most of her
kind, she learned to express her joy
by wagging her stumpy tail.
"Gypsy," another terrier, has taken
Nurse Judy's place, and is already so
wise a probationer that some Of the
nurses say. they "could almost trust
her to take a temperatures" Gypsy
plays ball with the convalescents, and
always has a Santa Claus pocket of
her W at Christmas. The only lib
erty she will not tolerate from the
children is the attempt to "comman-
deer" any of her own special property
from the top drawer, where it is kept.
A monkey named Giovanni was
once a ward pet in a little hospital in
Leghorn, Italy. Originally he had be-
longed to an Italian, whose dying wish
was that his monkey might stay with
him to the last. The good Sisters who
acted as nurses did not quite know
what to- do with the awkward legacy
~bequeathed them by the friendless
sick man, but Giovanni's big eyes said
as plainly as possible, Don't send me
out to face a friendless world! Isn't
it enough for a monkey to lose his low
ing master without losing the home
he has found here?"
His mute simian eloquence prevail
ed. Giovanni was adopted, and be-
came known as the Count" The Sis
tiers grew very fond of him. He
amused the children, and at length be-
came as much a fixture as one of the
pillars of the hospital gate.
Two chameleons lived and died in a
children's ward in a London hospital.
They did not live long,-chameleons in
captivity never debut they were a
great source Of interest and wonder
while they lived, and their changing
color under the children's very eyes
was a constant mystery and delight.
A wise little boy patient once inform
ed the ward that 1t was "only conjur-
ing, like that chap did at our school
treat" But it was never quite clear
to the others whether the conjuring
was done by the chameleons or was a
trick Of the nurse who owned them.

"About the pet superstitions of indi-

mar has a horror Of barrels, especially
empty ones. and If he sees a wagon
load Of them in the street he is conf
dent Of coming misfortune. But he
has a counter-balancing comfort iii the
possession Of a caul, which he always
carries with him, believing that it
shields him from violent death. The
late John Mccullough always went to
the theater by the same road he took
the first time. If he got as far>as the
door Of the theater and suddenly re-
membered that he had been tempted
out of the accustomed way, he would
go clear back to his hotel and take a
fresh start and always follow the &C.
customed route. l remember when
Sarah Bernhard was here for the first
time she manifested a positive dread
and horror Of the color yellow, and,
indeed, that is shared, to some extent
at least, by a good many people. A
very prominent actress Of our day has
an abiding faith that disaster is GER
tain If ever the curtain, having started
on its ascent, is allowed to return to
the floor instead Of going up, and will
insist, whether all is ready to ring up
or not, that once moved 1t shall rise,
even If the empty stage has to wait.
Emeralds are regarded as very lucky
jewels, but very few professionals will
tempt fate by wearing that most beau
tiful and most unlucky Of stones. the
opal. I'm not at all superstitious my
self, yet I'd regard that man an ene-
my Of mine who would offer to give me
an opal."-Woman's Home Companion.

When tie matter Of competition

We received very courteous reply,

and high standing OF our choir placed
