Dogs Maternal Instinct

spondent. Her kindly disposition has
won her much popularity and she is
loved by the family cat. the green
Amazon parrot and the village chill
dren. A few days ago some poor
little superhuous Aberdeen puppies
had to be drowned But when the
man went to get the little bodies
to give them decent burial, two had
mysteriously vanished from the pail
in which they had found watery
grave. For long time he searched
in vain, much puzzled at the unac-
countable disappearance, until a
servant volunteered the Information
that Maggie had two little dogs in
her bed. And here we found them,
two little corpses. licked clean and
dry and gently laid side by side on
the straw. She had iished them out
of the pail and carried them there.
and apparently done all she could to
revive them. She has never had any
puppies of her own, SO this seems a
curious instance OF maternal in
stinct."

Arthur Pickering in this matter of the
will; and Pickering was enjoying the
situation to the full. III
But there was something not wholly
honest in my mirth, for my conduct
during the three preceding years had
been reprehensible. j had used my
grandfather shabbily. My parents died
when l was child, and he had cared
for me as far back as my memory ran.
He had suffered me to spend the for
tune left by my father without re-

and had grievously disappointed him.

FURIOUS HuMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her In Five Days.

H'"After my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
Of Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty.
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured and has been well for long

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up This
Home Mixture and Take Now.

At this time of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions. but the worst
forms of rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to
get from some good prescription phar.

Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com.
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid, and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine at the same time restoring the
full blood count'-that is, 95 per cent.
