The Docs Tonnue.

At last a German professor has
tackled the i'm 9ortant question why
a dog lets his tongue hang out Of
his mouth when he is hot. To be
sure, many yea S ago Limnaeus
seems to have pondered this prob
lem but he disposed of the matter
altogether too flippantly by saying;
vix sudat, calidus linguam exserit,
thus simply indorsing the vulgar be-
lief that dogs perspire altogether
with their tongue. Professor Dahl
has no use for such shallow ex-
PLANTATION. He points out, in the Ma
turwissenschaft Wochenscrift
Ca name to make any dog how'll,
that it is not true that dogs do not
perspire with their skins; they &C
tually do SO, although the perspira-
ton does not form in drops, as in
the case of a horse. The professor
admits that the escape Of moisture
on dogs tongue does help to cool
him, but maintains that there is a
tongue in the painting animal When
dog is at rest he breathes through
his nose; but after violent exercise
he needs more air than can pass
through his nostrils, and must there
fore breathe through the mouth. This
however, is, on account of the forma-
ton of the tongue, possible only if
he lets it hang out of the mouth.
But why did not wise Nature widen
the dogs nostrils, after the fashion
of the horses? For this question,
too, our professor has an answer.
The dogs principal sense is the sense
of smell, which, to be at it's best,
requires nostrils precisely like those
given to the dog-New York Even

with the man beside her. When din

Noted New York Divine, Who Has
Resigned.
The resignation of Rev. William S.
Rainsford as pastor Of st. Georges
Episcopal Church in New York takes
from the ministerial life Of the
metropolis one of its most brilliant
ciergymen and one who became widely
famous through his pulpit utterances
and the unique methods he employed
In advancing the cause Of Christianity
DR.. Rainsford's resignation came in
the form Of letter from the eminent
divine In Cairo, Egypt, and was adj
dressed to j. Pierpont Morgan, senior
warden Of the church. 1t was read to
the congregation Sunday, and in it the
pastor explained that he was reluct-
antly compelled to relinquish his duties
as head OF the flock because Of contin-
ued ill-health.
Dr. Rainsford was born in Dublin,
Ireland, and is only in his fifty-fifth
year. He was graduated from ST.
johns College, University Of Cam
bridge, England, in 1873, and two
years later became a priest. His first
post was as curate in Norwich, Eng
land. Subsequently he made tour of
the United States and Canada, devot-
Ing his time to evangelistic work. In
1878 he became assistant rector Of the
Cathedral of st. James in Toronoto,
where he remained until 1883, when
he was called to the pastorate Of st.
Georges Episcopal Church in New
York City.

Onions for Grip.

The free use of onions as a grippe
germ destroyer is borne out by re-
suits. In a Jersey family last year
the whole family seemed to have
been taken down at once by unusual
ly violent manifestations of that dis
ease. All went to bed save the
Swedish kitchen maid, who was just
crawling about with frequent drops
down on the couch before she could
go en- again. Meanwhile an Italian,
who had been sent to do some re-
pairing in the house, appeared, but
was told that it was impossible to
have anything done as all were sick.
When told what the matter was,
Eat onions" he said; Eat all time.
No like? Eat just same. Onion!
onion! onion!" The Swedish girl
took his advice, though usually
averse to onions, and after a day
was able to throw off the disease, go
On with her work and care for the
rest of the family, who had no faith
in the onion cure.-Weekly Witness.

When one is financially able to have
the stalls which combine all the con-
veniences they are very desirable, but
the average farmer must put up with
much less. The ideal stall has space
between feed rack and gutter Of eight
feet and is five feet wide. A feed rack
is arranged so that the animal may
get at the hay or rOughage easily, yet
not waste a great deal OF It. At one
end Of the feed rack is a feed box
sufficiently large so that the COW can
get her mouth to it without striking
her horns. The sides of this stall con-
sist of a fence with three wide boards
and runs up four or five feet high, ac-
cording to the Ideas of the owner. At
the rear there is stapled to the floor

Every farmer appreciates that the
expense for harnesses and for harness
repairs is considerable during the
year, hence should be pleased at the
suggestion of some plan which will
enable him to keep the harness in good
condition. A harness should always
be hung up. Here is simple plan.
Make three letter Us of strong but
light lumber and especially making
the cross bar strong. Fasten these to
joint in Il convenient place with the
cross bar at the bottom. Simply use
the arms on which to hang the differ
ent parts Of the harness. If this ar
rangement Is not easy to put in opera
ton, then use hooks fastened to the
ends Of stout ropes, but arranging
some way so that the ropes may be
looped back over hook or nail during
the time they are not In use, so there
will be no danger of any one being

Hoe Attach m ent.

American agricultural implements
are known the world over as the best
procurable, especially for saving time.
This Is true both as to the large appli-
ances used on farms and the smaller
garden implements. A Texas farmer
is the inventor of a hoe attachment
applicable to hand wedding or garden
hoes Of various forms and sizes. The
attachment consists of cutting blade,
which Is designed to be used in detach-
ing clinging vines and runners from
the growing plants. The improved de-
vice comprises a wedding blade of the
usual form, and connected to the han
die by shank which curves upward.
Extending from the shank is cutting
blade, curved away from the handle
and shank
In using the implement the cutting
blade Is forced forward or away from
the operator by a pushing motion,
and by its peculiar form and position
is very convenient for severing vines,
runners, creepers and similar plant
life from the stalks Of the growing and
valuable plants. The implement will
also be found very convenient for
chopping corn, or thinning cotton and
other plants, and will also be found
