Skulls Of Japanese Show Race More
Monaghan Than Caucasian.

The Japanese type is intermediate
between the Caucasian and the Mon
golian, and, though it shows many
gradations, it is, on the whole, much
nearer the latter than the former. The
most striking popularity of the Mon
golian skull is the great development
OF the upper jaw bone. The front of
the face is broad and fiat, and the
transition from the front to the side is
sudden, not gradual, as in the Euro
pean. The bridge of the nose is low
and broad. and this produces the
peculiar oblique Monaghan fold" in
the upper eyelid. which makes the
eye appear to slant more than it does
in reality.
We have, then, in the Anus a prim-
tive race. very closely akin to the
C%aucasion, the blending Of which
Monaghan elements must have pro-
duced in Japan types similar to the
other white and yellow crosses which
we call Malays. The history of Japan
proves that the Monaghan element

BULLDOG RESCUES A CHILD.
Terror Of Neighborhood Jumps Into
Lake After Little Boy and
Brings Him Ashore.

Affection proved stronger than nat
ural instincts in the case of a bulldog
at Peacedale, r. l., when the animal,
feared generally for its savage temper,
jumped into the water and saved the
life of q little boy. The devotion of the
two for each other has been the subject
of comment about the neighborhood,
for, though the boy is only two years
old, it has been found that he never is
safer than when with the big bulldog,
and while few grown men outside the
owners family care to have anything to
do with him, he let's the child, who Is no
relation of the owner, play with him and
DULL him about as If he were kitten.
The boy, Edward Mcclure, was play
ing near a brook, and, as usual, the bull
dog was not far away. Suddenly the
child, reaching for a toy boat, slipped
and fell into the water. No one was
near, and the boy must have been
drowned had not the dog jumped in and
caught his clothes in his teeth. The
bank was too steep for the animal to
climb out with his burden, but, true to
his breed, the dog held on pluckily,
swimming round with the child until
some men who had seen the accident
frnm a distance ran up and pulled the
pair out. 4.a- ,..

Farmers hunt wolves because they

THIS CAT IS INQUISl1lvE.
When It Comes to Prying Into Things
Tom Has No Equal, Says
His Master.

speaking of cats, have one at rly
house that is simply marvel when it
comes to prying into things" said
man who is fond of animal study, in
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"and it is really interesting to watch
him. If there is anything around the
place he doesn't understand it is be-
cause it is new, and hasn't been there
long enough for him to inquire into it.
Generally when anything new is
brought into the house he Immediately
attempts to look into it. If the thing
is wrapped up so he can't get to it, he
will do his best to find out what it Is.
and If he fails to reach any satisfac-
tory conclusion at the time he will walt
until some more auspicious time. The
other day Tom discovered for the first
time that a couple of pictures of dogs
were hanging up in one Of the rooms.
Since that time we have not been able
to see any peace around the house.
He is simply crazy to get to the pic
lures. He, no doubt, recognizes the
fact that his old enemy is bodied forth
in the pictures, and it may be that he
thinks they are alive and want to
make a rough house, If I may use q
slang saying.
AT any rate, he is always clawing at
the wall and whining and jumping up
on chairs and doing other things to in
dicate that he is simply dying to find
out something about the dog pictures.
I suppose we shall have to take the
pictures down and allow Tom to satis-
fy himself as to the nature of them.
Tom has manifested another evidence
of the curious part of his nature. II
the members of the family are scat
tered in different parts of the house
and happen to be talking, he simply
runs from one group to another. He
seems to be afraid he'll not hear all
that is being said, and he nearly runs
himself to death going from one group
to the other. I cannot say how much
Of the conversation he understands,
for I do not know definitely the extent
of Toms vocabulary, but I know he
takes an immense interest in all that
is being said Let the conversation
turn on a humorous point and produce
a hearty laugh, and he will enter into
the spirit of the thing and will appar-
emily laugh with the family. But this
is all beside the question. was
merely speaking Of the fact that Tom
is inordinately curious and may add
in conclusion that.1 have seen but few
human beings who were so keenly Gu
rious as this little family pet"

this section Of Pennsylvanie there is grow
ing belief that for such Kidney Diseases
as Rheumatism and Lame Back there il
only one sure cure, and that is Dodd's Kid

cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Dawson, of this
place. She tells the story herself a. fol-
lows:- " ''' '7''":['
II have suffered from Rheumatism for
thirty. years and find that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done. me more good than any

say that my back hasn't bothered me since
took Dodd's Kidney Pills"
Considering that Mrs Dawson only took
two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the re-
suit would be considered wonderful if, it
were not that others are reporting similar
results daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at
