Did This DOG Reason?

Here is a simple incident which
perhaps the experts can explain:
am clergyman. My study is in
the church. On the side of the
building at right angles from the
door and distant from it is a win
dow. One summer evening was at
work in my study. Our dog, a young
Airedale terrier, was with me. A
large moth, attracted by the light,
few against the wire window screen
from the outside Sandy, very much
excited, jumped up and tried to get
at the moth. Of course he could
not do it, as he was inside and the
moth outside. After a few efforts
he seemed to realize the state of af-
fairs. He left the window, came to
me, whined, paved me and asked
as plainly as a dog could to be let
out. [ rose and opened the door
He rushed out and bolted around
the building and tried to reach that
moth from the outside.
Did the dog reason?-X. x. in
New York Times.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache.
nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt. gravel, dizziness, irregu-
lar heart, debility, drowsiness, drop
sy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
]. w. Strait, Fifteenth St, Browns
vile, Texas, says: For several years
/ have had much difficulty with my
kidneys. 1t occurred in form of
an irregularity of the kidney secre-
lions which was very annoying, par
ticularly at night as | was forced to

ferent remedies but found no relief

The Thunderer.

1t is not perhaps generally known
under what circumstances the name
of Thunderer was applied to the
London Times, says correspondent
of the New York Herald. Two la
dies of Kew were splashed with mud
by an i'll behaved horseman, and the
Times, taking the matter up, in a
leading article vigorously denounced
the rudeness of the rider, alleged ia
be the Duke of Cumberland. On
the allegation proving false anothd
article appeared by way of apology
in which occurred the phrase eve
thundered out" This grandilo-
quence caught the public fancy, and
the name Thunderer followed as a
matter of course.

alacrity. He was mild in speech
and manner and played well. But

A few minutes later, when he had
made another bad play, he repeated:

day in and day out never suffer from
indigestion like the folks who eat
steaks. bacon and ham. The flesh of
fish contains great nourishment and
is most healthful. Up in this part of
the country it is almost impossible
to get fish well cooked So few
people know how to prepare them

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm is puzzier. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought 1t would
be terrible to give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morn
ing while she was drinking Postum
so freely and with such relish I asked
for a taste.
THAT started me on Postum, and
now drink it more freely than / did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day,
saw me drinking Postum and asked
If it was coffee. told her it was
Postum, and gave her some to take
home, but forgot to tell her how to
make 1t.
THE next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. I
found she had made 1t like ordinary
coffee. So told her how to make it
right, and gave her cupful made,
I. a
said she never drank any coffee that
tasted as good, and now coffee is ban
ished from both our homes" Name

New York City.-A canvass of the
sentiment in a dozen important
trades, as expressed by members of
different industries and the edi-
torial opinions of recognized trade
Journals In the last few days, has
developed a distinctly hopeful tone
for the outlook for 1908. OF 1907
there is apparently a common opin-
ion-that the first eight months
were satisfactory to a marked de-
gree, and in some instances sur
passed former records as far as vol
ume Of business was concerned. The
financial disturbances of last fall,
however, brought about a great
change In this respect, and several
trades suffered severely A state
ment Of conditions in a majority of
the trades covered appears to those
most interested to Justify the expec-
tations Of good business in 1908.
Particularly is this the case in a
good many Of the dry goods trades.
A member Of one OF the largest i'm
porting houses in New York. whose
buyers reach every important centre
In Europe and with statesmen in every
section of the United States, declared
that the reports which Ills firm re-
ceived were distinctly encouraging
for trade recovery all over the
country. The reports from all over
the Middle. Western and Southern
States indicated the best Christmas
trade among retailers on record.
These reports covered San Franc,S-
CO, Portland, Los Angeles and Ia
coma on the coast; Minneapolis, ST.
Paul, Milwaukee and other cities in
the Middle West, and several cities
such as San Antonio. in the South
west, Atlanta, in the Southeast.

JUSTICE JOHN N. HARLAN PROPHESES A GREAT RACE WAR
He Would Vote $4,000 900 Year For Bigger Navy
Must Fight Yellow Men---Conflict VIII Shake the
Earth and He Wants the United States
u Be Prepared For

Washington, n. Chat there
will be eventually Il conflict between
the yellow race and the white race
that will shake the earth is the
opinion Of Justice John Marshall
Harlan. of the United States Supreme
Court. In an address before the
Navy League OF the United States,
this eminent jurist, according to the
Washington Post. said:
"lf ] had tho opportunity ! would
vote for an appropriation of $780,
100000 year for period of ten
years for n larger navy. The great
Importance of navy is shown in the
Constitution, which restricts the ap-
propriations for the army, but sets
no limit for those for the navy. There
is no such thing as friendship be-
tween nations as between men. Ma
tions make 10 sacrifice to preserve
friendships and do not forbear to do
certain things because they do not
meet with the approval of another
nation. Do you think England cares
a cent for what we think of her
navy? Or Germany cares a cent?
How large a navy ought we to
have? That is a question l cannot
answer any more than whether a
hospital ship ought to be command
ed by a naval officer or q surgeon.
/ don't care how large navy we
have, but / want to see 4 navy large
enough 10 take care of the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans and our ports

An interesting experiment made in
June by physician, proved conclu-
sively that for the sake of GOODNESS
only white should be worn in hot
weather.
AThe physician spread out in an
inNense sunshine a large piece of
white cloth, another of dark yellow.
another of light green, another of
dark green, another of blue and an
other of black.
Then, with the help of six Their
mometers, he made the following
table Of the various heats which each
color received from the sunlight:
White, 100 degrees: dark yellow, 14O
degrees; light green, 155 degrees:
D. dark green, 16S degrees; blue, 1913
degrees; black, EOS degrees.
Thus the physician proved that in
July or August the man in white is
a little less than twice as cool as
the man in blue, and a little more
than twice as cool as the man in
black.

In 81 years DR.. ]. Hirschberg, a
German oculist, has used the magnet
in 347 operations for removing par
ticles from the eye. In the eight years
ended 1903 he performed the opera
ton 81 times, securing good and per-
manent vision in Sc cases. In nine
of the sc cases the bit of iron re-
moved from the vitreous, in 81 from
the retina; % were fresh cases and
IA were old. In % of the ga cases
the injured eye had to be taken out,
the iron pieces being large or blood
poisoning following the injury. In
four cases the magnet failed to re-
move the particle.

Combined with this continued de-
mand upon the retailer is the fact
that little or no goods have been
bought since the early fall, and
stocks are becoming relatively ex-
hausted. From the source referred
to above It was learned, for ex-
ample. that one house in a Southern
city sold $193. 900 Of goods in No
vember and bought $4,000. AS a
result, orders which were cancelled
are reported az being renewed and
new orders received to replenish
stocks that were neglected in the
weeks Of uncertainty following the
financial furry.
Coupled with this increase of de-
mand, an Improvement in collections
is reported in many branches of the
dry goods trade, which bids fair to
bring that element Of the business
back to normal within a comparative
ly short time, so far as the interior
Of the country is concerned. The
prediction is being made in dry
goods circles that this fact coupled
with the release of boarded money
by interior banks will operate to ease
the money situation materially with
In the next sixty days.
Reports received by one large
house from nine different centres Of
manufacture for exports on the other
side Of the Atlantic indicate that the
European trade organizations and
the individual producers. regardless
OF such membership, will do what
they can to maintain prices with the
idea Of curtailing production Father
than create a situation where prices
will have to come down, to the injury
both OF the producer and of the
American importer.

has been none from the West. Just
across the water there is a country
with an immense population whose
commerce we are seeking. We re-
fer to the people of Asia as the yell
low race. There are 400,OOO,OOO
Chinese, as strong physically and
mentally as we are.
There is over there another ma
ton whose people are progressive
and ambitious. We may some day
see skilled army in Japan Of from
100000 to 100000. They will
say: You claim Europe as your
country. This is ours Get out!'
I don't think they have any such
idea now, and we have no hostility
toward them. But there will be a
conflict between the yellow race and
the white race that will shake the
earth. When It comes I want to see
this country with a navy on both
oceans that will be strong enough. ="
In conjunction with. his belief in
the obligation to build ships, Justice
Harlan holds that It Is the duty or
the country to fortify thoroughly
every seaport under the American
flag and make it impregnable. War
comes suddenly, he says, and from
the most peaceful outlook It may de-
velop before 1t is possible to make
preparations, or even to build a
battleship, much less a navy.
He believes that a nation which is
weak In martial spirit, or which has
not a strong navy, is in danger Of
being forced into war when it is
not desired, and when the nation is
least able to meet such an emergency.
