All CUTTING Sawinu.

Knives, no matter how carefully
sharpened, are little saws; the grind.
ing away of the steel, done by the
stone, is not an even work, but when
the edge gets thin Is a process of tear
Ing away tiny bits Of steel by the grit
OF the stone. This tearing makes the
teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth,
a coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving
knife. used on meat, Is sharpened on
coarse stone or steel. and has coarse
teeth. although its edge is thick. Its
action In parting the meat is more that
OF saw than fine wedge. No mat
ter how soft 1t may be. it will not
cut easily unless 1t is drawn over the
meat and not simply pressed down.
A razor, however, with its paper-like
edge, will cut into flesh with a simple
pressure-it is wedge dividing the
fibers of flesh just as wedge of iron
divides the fibers Of the log 1t splits.
But razor is saw, too. only as 1t is
ground on the finest stones and later
finished with leather strop. its teeth
are very fine indeed-hundreds and
hundreds to the inch of blade.-St.
Nicholas.

HORSE THAT COULD REASON.
Physician Tells Of Animals Conduct
on a Stormy Night.

The best story told In an evening OF
amusing talk at the Winship club
meeting this week was that OF DR..
Paul about his partner in business for
a score of years or more, his horse.
When the doctor and he were 20 years
younger in practice DR. Paul received
a hurry" night call from one OF the
best families in his circle They lived
a mile or more away in rural neigh
borhood and although it was late at
night and storming the doctor rushed
out there at full speed.
On arriving in the yard at the house
he threw the blanket hastily upon or,
rather, at the horse (who never re-
quired hitching). for 1t was found af.
terward lying on the ground at his
side, and dashed into the house with
his case OF instruments. II turned
out that the aged grandmother of the
family had had fall, that her should.
er was dislocated. that ether had to be
administered the pain vas so great
In short. the doctor could not take his
hand off his work for three hours.
All this time driving sleet storm,
the moisture freezing as it fell and
giving everything coat OF ice, was
beating upon his partner out in the
yard
When the doctor finally emerged in
the small hours was to find the horse
where he had left him. except that the
rig was headed round for home. A
| daylight examination revealed the
truth through the marks of the hoofs
and wheels of the buggy that during
his long wait of three hours in pelt-
ing and freezing storm, the horse had
IA score of times made up his mind to
| go home and had gone down the road
sometimes quarter, sometimes half
of the way, and then had thought this
hard on the doctor and had turned
back to wait as In duty bound.
II this is not a demonstration not
only of reasoning power but also Of
moral consciousness. what is it?' 1t
Is needless to say that the doctor re-
spects his subhuman partner and
would no more think of parting with
him till death doth them part than
he would with any member of his fam
lily. His back is bowed with the weight
of q years; he is no longer the hand
som trotter he once was, but he Is
the doctors ''fldus Achates," just the
same. and he will not be supplanted,
in spite of the publc's smiles,-Boston

GOOD PRESCRIPTION.
Tells of n Home Mixtuva to Relieve all
Catarrh Sunet. r. Here.

The coming months will be a har-
vest for the doctors and patent medi-
cine manufacturers unless great care
Is taken to keep the feet dry, also
dress warmly.
This is the advice Of we'll known
authority and should be needed by all
who are subject to rheumatism, kid
ney and bladder troubles and especial
" catarrh. While the latter Is con-
sldered by most sufferers an incurable
disease. there are few men or women
who will fail to experience great re-
lief from the following simple home
prescription and II taken in time it
will prevent an attack of catarrh dur
ing the entire season.
Here Is the prescription which any
one can mix: Fluid Extract Dandelion
one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one
ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla
three ounces. Shake well in a bottle
and use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and again at bedtime.
These are mostly vegetable ingred-
tents and can be obtained from any
good prescription pharmacy at small
cost
The Compound Kargon in this pres
cription acts directly upon the elimina
tive tissues of the kidneys to make
them filter and strain from the blood
the poisons that produce all forms of
catarrhal affections. Relief is often
felt even after the first few doses and
II is seldom that the sufferer ever ex-
periences return attack within the
year
This prescription makes a splendid
remedy for all forms of blood disor.
ders and such symptoms as lame back
bladder weaknesses and rheumatism
pains are entirely dispelled.
AS this valuable though simple re.
cipe comes through a thoroughly reli.
able source it should be needed by
every afflicted reader.

But $50 Is not the limit OF what one
may pay for a gold handled razor. If
the handles were deliberately chased
its cost might mount up to twice that,
or 5000 for pair.
There are also sold among those
more expensive. silver handled razors,
which range in price from So so TO $50
each; $3.50 being the price for one
with plain silver handle, while those
more costly have their handles more

OF course any carving would add to

Remarkable Increase in Savings Bank
Deposits.

Remarkable Increase in Savings Bank
Deposits.
The Island Pond Herald in com
menting on the remarkable growth of
deposits in the Hyde Park Savings
Bank brings out several good reasons
for this growth. Ii says
A special feature of this institution
is that it gives local patrons the pre-
ference, its loans are in Vermont.
Thus it has not only advanced public
interest but has done safe and pros
porous business since its institution,
eighteen years ago. The assets only
last week passed the million dollar
mark, and we repeat, not single cent
of it invested outside of Vermont. The
progressive increase of deposits year
after year has been remarkable. This
condition of things must be satisfac-
tory in the extreme to the energetic
president who Is recognized as a syn
onym of honest and square dealing,
who possesses the practical qualities
essential to success in all his under
takings, and withal is liberal mind
ed citizen, ever interested in village
town and state Improvement. We
write from knowledge and personal
observation.
This bank pays per cent compound
ed semi-annually on deposits of 500
or more.

The Renewal of
Chinese Boycott
PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's FAIL

SAGE NEW TREATY
THE CAUSE,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-In answer
to an inquiry by the Sttae Department
as to the truth of the reports that
there has been a renewal of the anti.
American boycott in China. American
Consul Bergholtz, at Canton. cabled
the department to-day confirming the
accuracy OF the report, and staetd that
the renewal of the boycott movement
was attributed to the Chinese residents
of Oakland. Cal, who had informed
their friends in China that President
Roosevelt in his annual address to
Congress had omitted any mention of
the new treaty with China. which was
an indication that nothing whatever
was to be done by the American gov.
eminent to mitigate the seventies of
the exclusion law.
The Consul adds hat the Chinese
officials at Canton have done every,
thing possible to stop the boycott
movement and have caused the city
to be placarded with warnings to the
people against engaging in the boy
colt under penalty of being severely
dealt with.
Recent mail dispatches from Canton
indicate that he newly appointed vice,
roy of the two Kwang provinces, OF
which Canton is the capital. has taken
a strong hand against revising the boy
colt movement. In an interview with
the consul he deprecated the boycott
Of American goods, which he condemn
