Perfumes for Pet poes

Nowadays the pet dog must be per
fumed, but 1t is not enough to scent
him with any old perfume. Modish
women who consider their pets try to
select an appropriate odor for them.
Thus japanese pOodles are perfumed
with frangipani, which has a spicy
japanese odOr that suggests the orr
entail nativity of the animal.
Mexican hairless dogs, which are
enjoying quite a vogue now, are
scented with chypore, which has a
heavy, tropical odor that suits these
dogs Of the south. Very little Of it is
used, as the scent is powerful. Two
or three drops on the long hair behind
the head, where the dog cannot in
dulge his tendency to lick it of, is all
that is needed.
The shaggy Skye terriers are scent
ed with stimulating extract Of
Scotch heather redolent Of the Scotch
flowers perfume.
French poodles, which are not near
ly SO popular now as they used to be,
smell delicately Of some Partisan per-
fume.
Boston terriers have received as
their special perfume scent declared
to be the sportieSt of all odOrs.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing
is true Of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that 1t

how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup Of Postum
coffee with q spoonful or two of
Grape-Nuts poured in, and such COM

one a number of hours, for almost
every particle Of it will be digested

An Inviting Prospecr.

VIII Canada In the next quarter OF
a century take the place Of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
fection Of the western hemisphere?
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark Us a
wheat exporting country. The increas-
ing population over there has reached
the point when home consumption Is
becoming annually greater in proper
ton than the increase in wheat pro-
duction. As matter Of fact, wheat
production is decreasing over there as
the land becomes more valuable and
by reason of the demand for other
forms Of produce for home consump-
tion. 1t Is said that the wheat crop
this year Is not more than 20 per cent
of the crop Of 1901 and much below
the crops of 1902 and 1908. 1t is esti-
mated that this year the United States
surplus for export will not be over
10000. 900. which is less than any year
since 1878 with two exceptions. Not
only is this the case, but q considera-

COLLEGE FRANKS.
Those of English Students Are Worse
Than in This Country.

! American students are hardly up to
the British standard in the playing of
college pranks. Not long ago on a
wager a freshman Of Trinity College,
Cambridge, dressed In his sisters
clothes and called on the head of the
eollege to complain that "her brother
was being brutally ill-treated by the
college authorities. He was. so "she"
asserted, overworked, underfed and
cruelty fiogged.
| The benevolent old head-a man
much more sinned against than sim
ting-listened to these charges in help
less amazement.
But, my dear young LADY," he
exclaimed.
Thereupon "she" burst into storm
IF sobs and would not be comfOrted.
His protestations Of innocence only
made ''her" weep the more copiously.
The dear old man never had worse
quarter Of an hour.
The following week he saw the
Freshman play woman's part in a
comedy and the truth slowly dawned
upon him. Meanwhile, the Freshman
had collected the bet and spent the
money in party" which ended in
half. dozen students trying to fight
the police force Of Cambridge and
spending the night in jail
The old town and gown" riots,
which used to be such a strenuous
feature of life In English universities.
seldom occur nowadays, but there was
one in Oxford not many years ago
which ragged for three days and nights
uninterruptedly. Over 500 policemen
were eventually required to restore the
peace. Houses and shops were wreck
ed and many a townsman and gowns
man had to be patched up in the local
hospitals afterward.
Being an ardent politician, 1t is nat
ural that the undergraduates should
make the college elections, which are
fought on political lines. exceedingly
lively affairs. Some Of the leading
universities return members of Parlia-
ment to represent them in the House
Of Commons, but they are elected by
the dons and graduates without much
fuss and excitement. The real fun Is
over the election Of the chancellor, the
lord rector. or whatever the honorary
head Of the university may be called,
for in that election the undergradu-
ates take hand.
This position is sought by the great
est men in the land-men Of the cal
iber Of Gladstone, Salisbury, Morley
and Balfour. And they are willing to
60 through a most severe ordeal to
win 1t.
A great statesman who sways the
House Of Commons and helps to shape
the destines Of Europe goes election
eering among mob Of yelling college
boys. and they think nothing of pelt-
ing him with red ochre. bluing and rot

opposite political stripe Election day
is always a wild pandemonium in a
university town. Wise people stay at
home and put up the shutters.

Mr.. W. A. Hysong. the photographer.

Obeyed His Chiefs Order.

A smart young officer belonging to a
cavalry corps in India was sent ON sick
leave to a convalescent station of Sim
Ia and, while recovering his health
among the hills there was robbed of his
heart and in return captivated the
charming thief. The young fellow pro-
posed and was accepted and with all
possible dispatch the wedding day was
fixed. But the colonel of the expectant
bridegrOom's regiment was strongly
opposed to the lieutenant marrying and
telegraphed an unwelcome Join at
once" to the amorous sub.
The chagrined soldier handed the
peremptOry message to his fair one.
She glanced at it and then, with be-
coming blush of sweet simplicity, re-
marked:
II am more than glad, dear, that
your colonel so approves of your
choice, but what a hurry he is In for
the wedding. 1 don't think can be
ready quite SO soon, but I'll try, for,
of course, the colonel must be obeyed."
"But you don't seem to understand
the telegram, sweetheart" said the
lieutenant. ut upsets every plan We
have made. You see, he says, Join at
0ce.'"
Certainly ne does. dear" replied the
lady, looking up with an arch smile,
'but it Is you who don't seem to I'M
derstand il. When the colonel saws
Join at once what does he mean but
get married Immediately? What else,
indeed, can he possibly mean?
"What else. indeed, darling?" de-
lightedly exclaimed the ardent lover,
rejoicing in the new reading, which he
received with the utmost alacrity. So
forty-eight hours had scarcely passed
before the colonel received the follow
ing: "Your orders have been carried
out. We were joined at once."-Phila-

Demonstrates the Power OF DIR. Williams'
Pink Pills to Restore vigor to Shat
tered Nerves.
Mrs. Leander Lane, wife Of the minis
ter Of the Christian Church, Of No. 2Ol0
street, South Omaha, Neb., tells how
her daughter has been enabled to resun.a
her professional work as a teacher after
suffering for nearly three years from Sc
we're nervous prostration:
"When she was passing from girl
hood to womanhood," says Mrs. Lane,
"shs suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her Sex. The physician did
not help her, but few boxes of DR..
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
"While she had escaped from ore
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to overwork, first as student and then
as teacher in q large Iowa institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the strain
finally told on her. She became pale,
weak, nervous, unable to sleep; she had
no appetite and she suffered from Sc
we're headaches. Then came complete
breakdown and her work had to be given
up.
"In this emergency we again tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Improvement
came at first slowly and we sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining, but
we noticed that whenever she stopped
taking the pills she fell back, and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and SO we kept up the treatment
until she recovered her usual health and
was able to take a position in one Of our
univer.ities where she is happily at
work. My mother, my daughter and
myself have well-founded confidence
in the merits Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and are always ready to recommend
them"
This is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease at its source
and effect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these have
q common origin in impaired blood or
nerves. They put the entire system in q
healthy condition, because they intro
duce vigor that is distributed to every
part They arrest physical decay when
1t seems Inevitable and find road to
restoration when the doctor misses it.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

In Hospital for Forty-two Years.
Left deaf and dumb after a severe
attack Of scarlet fever when she was
child 12 years of age, Miss Eliza
Adams has passed forty-two years In
the Louisville City Hospital in com.
plete ignorance Of the place of her
birth, her proper name or who her
parents were.
This peculiar character arrived in
Louisville in the fall Of 1862 from
Nashville, Tenn. She had been de-
ported with the crowds Of women and
children Of the United States govern
Iuent sent out Of that State when the
armies of the North and South were
making its green pastures CORY with
the blood Of the Civil War, and in the
deportation she became separated
from her parents and family.
In Nashville a great camp was pre-
pared for the protection Of these peo-
pie and for several weeks Eliza
Adams was confined In this place.
Finally she became Ill Of scarlet fever,
and owing to her age she was soon
sent north. Raving in delirium, she
reached Louisville and was taken to
the City Hospital.
She had no friends and no one who
arrived on the same train with her
knew her name or anything Of her
parentage Finally, under the care of
Mrs. Carey, the superintendent, she
began to improve, and within five
months after she reached Louisville
became perfectly we'll so far as mind
and body were concerned, but the raw
ages Of the disease had destroyed her
hearing and power of speech. Owing
to her tender years. her memory was
also partially impaired, and after she
learned to talk by the sign language
used by deaf mutes she was unable to
throw any light upon her history.
Shortly after she became well Mrs.
Carey took compassion upon the af-
flicted orphan and adopted her as her
daughter, giving her the name she
now bears.

parentage. formerly by Mrs. Carey be.
fore she died, two years ago, and later
by friends connected with the hospi-

in all probability her parents have long
since passed away.
