A DOGS WISDOM.
Story of How Moro 0beyed His Mas
ter at tho Sacrifice OF
q Shirt.

Stories of dogs are so plentiful that
one more or less doesn't seem to make
much difference, and yet the cumulative
evidence of canine reasoning power Is
piling up high.
Nero was a St. Bernard owned by Q
man in Virginia. One day while in the
yard cleaning his gun the master told
Nero to go in the house and bring him
a rag. Nero bounded of, and was OBJ
served by a woman to be searching for
something. Interested in his motions,
she watched him. After looking every
where in the room he went to the closet,
and finding on the floor his masters
shirt, shifted at it, took it up, hesitsted
a moment, then evidently satisfied that
ie was not "a rag" laid it down and
went back empty-mouthed. His mas
ter reproved him sharply and said:
go now and bring me rag!
Turning slowly, the puzzled dog went
into the house again, still watched oy
the woman who had heard the order.
He went to the closet, picked up the
shirt In his mouth and started to 60 OUT
then evidently reasoning that whois
garment could not properly be caileo

ton that trailed on the floor ana oelp-

"The mechanism of breathing u inn

The most important respiratory mus

fiat muscle which divides the chest
from the abdomen. In leaning forward.
the abdomen is compressed, and the
movement of the diaphragm hindered,
causing the act of Inhalation to become
less deep, and the whole breathing shall
low and inefficient. The action of the
heart, as we'll as that of breathing, 10

ing blood. to the detriment of their
activity. The development of the or
gans of breathing receives 4 marked
check from lack of bodily exercise.
When during the years of growth, day
after day for hours at 4 stretch, the
act OF breathing is performed with
subdued power. specifically and
feebly, without full expansion of the
lungs and chest, z poor development
of these organs ensues, resulting in a
fat, sunken and immobile chest. This
is a sign of weakness in those parts
which may even indicate tendency to
lung disease. The sluggish circulation
through the abdominal organs. caused
by their compressed condition when
the body is continually bent forward,
is, no doubt, very often solely respon-

latter an unmistakable brute. The
horse was harnessed to farm wagon,

Eddie to stop. and l said to the man:
Please don't whip that horse any more.
He answered churlishly that he thought
