TO QUIT HOWLING DOGS.
Efforts of Legal Minds to Devise
Remedy for Disturbers of
the Peace

The devising Of adequate remedies
against disturbances of the public
peace by bowling dogs and meowing
cats has never been regarded as an
easy proposition. The framing of a
legal provision to do away with the
cause of such disturbances taxed for
a time the minds of those who drew
up the present sanitary code The
last clause of this code, section $50,
is as follows:
No person, owning, occupying or
having charge of any building or
premises shall keep or allow thereon
or therein any animal or bird, which
shall by noise disturb the quiet or re-
pose of any person therein or in the
vicinity, to the detriment of the life
or health of any human being.
The disturbance Of the peace
caused by an animal or bird" a dog,
a cat, a parrot or a crow, may justify
legal intervention if detrimental to
the life or health of any human be-
ing'-which it seldom is. Sleep may
caused by dog without it's being di.
rectly detrimental either to life or
health, and it is this clause of the
sanitary code which gave the most
trouble to those who devised it.
1t was at one time proposed that
this provision Of the sanitary code
should include the protection of citi-
zens on life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" but while that had a
patriotic ring, it fell short of fulfill
ing the requirements Of courts that a
provision of law involving a penalty
should be at least reasonable. The
sanitary code fails, therefore, to cover
what is perhaps the most frequent
cause of complaint over the disturb
ance Of the peace by animal or bird
"a noise which interrupts repose,
without being at the same time detri-
mental either to life or to health.

SILENCED THE CRITICS.
When the Truth Came Out the
Schoolgirl Had the Laugh
on Them.

1t is a rather unsafe experiment to
criticise a literary effort unless one
knows all about 1t. The other even
ing schoolgirl went into the library
where the family were assembled, to
read what they supposed to be her
latest composition. It was a descrip-
ton of night in the woods, and
when the schoolgirl read that the sky
was glossy blue-black, an artist SIS
ter interrupted her-to say, gently:
"Oh, my dear, that's all wrong!
Now, think; did you ever see the sky
when it was glossy"
But the schoolgirl only smiled and
read on.
She referred to a drink of water as
cold inward aspersion," and the
room resounded with the laughter Of
her relatives as they set her right as
to the use of "aspersion," as they I'M
derstood the word. This the school
girl also took with unusual imper-
durability; indeed, she read On until
she had finished, and then she added,
meekly: viii il do?"
Certainly not" replied the critics.
1T is very, very bad. There is a per-
ceptible straining after effect. 1t is
not nearly so good as the clever little
things you usually write about Honor
and Industry You should keep to abb
stract subjects. Try to improve on what
you have written, however, and it may
do"
81 don't think shall" responded the
schoolgirl, with wicked smile on her
piquant little face, because this was
written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
It's chapter from one of his books, and
/ don't believe could improve on it
yet"

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.

orgLns developed nervous prostration and a
