HIS DOGS DEVOTION.
Master Goes From Colorado to vir-
ainia for His Canine Friend.

For weeks, "Shep,' blooded Scotch
collie dog, waited at lonely station in
Augusta county. Virginia, for the re-
turn of bis absent master. The master,
c. F.. Dorian of 104S West Eighth ave.
nue., Denver, when he heard that his
devoted pet was homeless, took rail
road trip to Virginia to get possession
of the dog and bring him TO Colorado.
The two have never been separated
since.
Mr.. Dorian was at the Union depat
last night, says the Denver Republican,
waiting for train to take him to
South Platte, Nebraska, where he is to
do some contract work for the Union
Pacific railroad. With him, was the
dog, 'Shep."
Mr.. Dorian was at the Union depot
the following story:
81 left Augusta county, Virginia,
where l had a farm several months
ago. / gave 'Shep'. to a ne4ghbor, be-
lieving that he would be better off
than with me. Shortly after left he
broke his chain and returned to my
farm which was in the hands of
strangers, He took up the scent at the
farm and followed my footsteps to the
railroad station. There he waited for

nourishment.
"'The station agent, knowing the dog
and knowing me, wrote 10 me, describ-
ing the dogs actions, about the end of
the second week. ] Immediately left
Denver for Virginia and did not rest
easily until l arrived at the station
where the DOG awaited me.
There never was n dog more glad.
lie jumped and frolicked, despite the
fact that he was lean for the want of
nourishment. Selling my trouser legs,
he dragged me in the direction of the
old farm. He would run short dis
tance toward the farm, and then return
to me. He could not understand why
! would not go home. He is cOntented
here, l believe, and his devotion has
made such an impression on me that
have never been away from him

by Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegeta-

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"About three years ago had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
l had a tumor.
II felt sure that it meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. 1spent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, but the tulnor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately
corresponded with my aunt in one Of the New
England States, who advised me to try Lydia

taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to

that the tumor had reduced in size. kept

Paper Gas Pipes.

Paper gas pipes are among the
novelties reported from Europe. Ma
nilla paper is cut up into strips whose
width is equal to the length of the
pipe section to be used. The paper
bands are then passed into vessel
filed with melted asphalt. After COM
ing out of the bath the prepared
strip is rolled uniformly and very
tightly around an iron rod or pipe
which serves as the core and has the
same diameter which the gas pipe Is
to have. The rolling of the paper is
stopped when the right thickness has
been secured. After the pipe sec
ton which is thus formed has been
put through high pressure it is COW
cred on the outside by a layer OF
sand which is pressed into the asphalt
while still hot. The outer surface Of
the pipe is treated with a waterproof
compound 1t is said that the pipe
is very tight and is cheaper than
metal piping.

Germs In Oysters.

MANY gallons, probably many bar,
rels, of water are drawn through the
gills of each oyster each day." writes
Prof Brooks of Johns Hopkins uni,
versity, ''and the microscopic beings
that it may hold are strained out and
pushed along into the oysters mouth.
Each microscopic organism is a long
time in travelling from the point
where 1t first touches the gill to the
oysters stomach; all this while it is
alive and capable of becoming the
parent of new generations when re-
moved from the gill and placed under
suitable conditions. Most of these
organisms are wholesome to man, and
all that enter the oysters stomach
are quickly killed and converted into
it's palatable and nutritious substance;
but SO long as they are travelling
along the gills all are alive and some
are extremely dangerous to man. The
oyster exercises choice In the selec-
ton of its food, rejecting some of the
miscropic organisms and swallowing
others; but those that are discharged
into the water with the sewage of cit
les are not, unfortunately, among the,
ones that are rejected, and before
these have entered the oysters stom.

within the bell, and the usual cleo
trio apparatus connected with the
clappers. On pushing the pushbut-
ton the circuit is closed, the magnet
forcing the clapper to vibrate and
ring the bell. The bell and bell-ring-
ing apparatus is suspended upon a
wire hook, the wires from the bat
terry connecting with this hook and
not with the bell direct, the circuit
being continued through the wire
hook. In this way the bell can be sus-
pended instantly just as assembled
at the factory, without requiring the
connection of any wires, and can be
easily removed by simply lifting it
from the hook. Moreover, the bell
will always hang free and true, which
is essential to its satisfactory opera
tion, and the appearance of the bell
is also much enhanced by the con-
cealment of the circuit wires.
