Kari. the Arctic Doc.

Captain Sverdrup, the Arctic ex-
plorer, tells how one of his dogs, named
Kari, fell Ill during an expedition, even
losing her appetite--a thing almost un-
heard Of In an Eskimo pack. Kari was
not only a good dog, but wise one,
and, therefore. she knew what to do.
she curled herself round In q ball and
lay down close by one Of her comrades.
between his legs, where she would be
sheltered as we'll as warm. This, how
ever, was not at oil to the mind Of the
dog in question, and he was ungallant
enough to get up and change his place,
But Kari was equal to this difficult
situation. She took her allowance.
went up to the dog in question and put
II down before his nose. as much as
10 say: "Here, this is for you; now do
be kind and let me lie quiet" Then
she licked his face In a coaxing way
and curled herself round again in her
old place. This time she was really
allowed to remain in peace.

Another Invasion Of Mexico.

The extent of the American COM
mercial invasion of Mexico is not all
ways realized. A year ago It was Of
iicially reportedy that 100 American
companies were doing business IN
Mexico. OF the capital from this
country invested there about 70 per
cent Is invested In railroads. All OF
the lines excepting those connecting
the capital with Vera crus and the
National Tehauntepec Railway are
owned and controlled by Americans.
Eighty per cent Of the Mexican rail-
road property is held in the United
states. Eighty millions Of American
dollars are engaged In Mexican mfies'
prIncpaily In Sonora, chihuahua and
Durango. The mining output OF the
f,scal year ending June So 1908
amounted to $4,000. .OOO-vaiued In
sIlver-being an increase Of nearly W
DER cent over any preceding year. IN
the same tima nearly three thousand
new Mining enterprises, or ~ per cent
OF the whole were launched.
In various agricultural ventures
Americans hae iss.OoO.OoO staked; but
this includes probably some OF those
enterprises which appeal 10 the trust
full small investor through popular ad-
yertlsement. and concerning which
our consular agents have often sent
warnings to the washington authori-

districts and In Nueyo Leon absorb

Grow Three Feet a Day.

There are many varieties OF the BAN.

woven into mats to the tall bamboo
tree which the Chinaman uses for the
mast Of his large boat. One variety is
cultivated as vegetable. and the

HEALTH PARAGRAPHS.
Especially Intended for the Guidance of Girls fin Their Everyday
 Lives.

The thin girl must sleep as many hours as possible. She must not wor- ry. And she must live in the open air and sunshine just as much as she can every day. says American Queen.
 Study your own physical makeup and then develop the weak parts. while at the same time you keep up the exercises for the whole body in general.
 Be careful not to let any physical fault get start. Prevention Is so much more valuable than cure. And If you will cul6*ate a keen eye for your own imperfections. 1t will not be difficult to overcome them at the start.
 Do not neglect to carry yourself we'll. Do not bend over at the waist. Hold your head straight and erect. It will increase both your own self-respect and produce better impression on all about you.
 Your voice may be cultivated till 1t will of itself attract friends to you. Train yourself to notice pleasant voices and then modulats your own and sec that 1t always gives out its best tones Control of the voice will have great influence over your disposition. Be careful that your voice is never harsh or whining.
 You cannot be graceful unless every part of your body enjoys perfect free dom of action.
 No indoor exercise can take the placs of activity in the open air.
 Tho skin is of the greatest value in eliminating impurities from the body and therefore should be kept in perfect condition.
 If the top of . shoe does not allow the toes to spread forward and outward they will have to turn up. It Is easy to see how painful this will be in playing games. or in walking down hills, or in deep bending, or in jumping down from any height.
 Never use any metal instrument about the teeth or you will run the risk of inJuring the enamel. Never bite threads or crack nuts with the teeth.
 Mutton tallow is very good for the hands. A few drops of camphor In it have healing effect
 Rest Is fully as important for the i thin girl as diet. Relieve all tension by closing the eyes and banishing all thought for short intervals.
 Never neglect your hands, and espe- cially your nails. Keep both scrupu- lously neat
