Mira, the Dog Merchant, Of Hoboken.
tiles as warm as possible when he was
writing. One naturally thinks of
French things when writing about
Frenchman whose name, Noel is
French for Christmas.
One might think it displayed no par
ticular intelligence on the part of
Mira to sit up in a little tray and
wait all day long for her master to
close up shop and go home to- a
warm fire. But that is not the end
of Mirza's accomplishments. Around
her neck is little basket in the bot
tom of which are half dozen pennies
as a suggestion for generous folk to
add to their number. If you drop a
coin in the basket Mira is all at
tention at the click of the coin, and
she will draw one of her forefeet out
of her trousers" and extend it to you
in greeting and thanks All her
sleepiness is gone at this mark of ap-
probation of her being at business,
and she is one of the most wide
awake dogs in Hudson county the mo-
ment she realizes there is a penny
being added to the store in her basket.
So many dogs hold baskets that
this would be a too common accom-
piishment to attract attention to the
business of selling pencils. And SO
Master Noel has taught Mira to sit
for hours holding a great briar pipe
in her mouth.
OF course Mira never smokes. She
is too much of lady for that. But
that Mira is an old hand at keeping
the pipe in her mouth is evident by
the careless way she permits it to
hang down by her jowl.
Besides acting as living signboard,
Mira is the best of watchdogs. In
spite of the fact that she is only
16 months old and has been working"
for 13 months, her master can, and
does, leave her in charge of the stand
while he goes away for a little
while, and he knows she never will
stir from her box until he returns.
Master Noel never has any labor trou-
bles with his assistant, for she never
has gone on strike, nor has she ever
asked for more pay. She just attends
to business, shaking paws with the
generous handed passersby, "smok-
ing" her pipe the while and giving a
fine lesson to those who read as
they run of peaceful, philosophical
life.

Princess Louise of Orleans was mar
ried to Prince Charles of Bourbon in
England recently, in the presence of
the king and queen of Spain and
nearly 40 other members of royal
families. She is the youngest daugh-
ter Of the late Comte de Paris, who
with his brother and uncle served on
the staff of Gen. Mcclellan in the civil
war in America. The counts history
of the war has been translated into
English, but he and his family have
never stirred the national imagination
as did Lafayette, that other French
man who fought with American
troops.

japanese Methods.

A grim story of Japanese ingenuity
comes from the Island of Formosa, for
merly Chinese territory, but now a
possession Of the Japanese, who are
waging war against the savages of the
interior. These are represented to be
Of the ferocious order, the head-hunt-
ing variety of barbarians who are re-
lentless in pursuit of enemies and to
whom accordingly it is deemed use-
less to show mercy in time OF hostili-
very effective means have been taken
to bring the savages to terms. AS the
story goes, whenever a band Of the
insurgents can be located a strong
barbed-wire fence is constructed all
around the area, and is heavily
charged with electricity. Then the
Japanese troops advance, the head
hunters falling back before them.
The result is inevitable. If the saw
ages face the Japanese they are killed
by rifle fire. If they continue to fee
until they bring up against the wire
fence they are shocked to death by
electricity. Certainly a few applica-
lions of that sort of medicine will be
effective on the patient Before such
scientific warfare the occupation of
the head hunter is gone. And If he
persists the head hunter goes him.

There will be music in the air when
the big battleship fleet is not engaged
pianos with pianolas were taken along
on the ships, having been furnished
by private subscription for the delec-
tation of officers and men. That gives
at least one instrument to each ship,
and some of the vessels will have two
pianos with mechanical attachments.
And as full supply of both classic
and popular music goes along there
some delightful times. The pianolas
will play when the guns do not.

They are shipping apples from Port
land, Ore, to Vladivostok, Russia, on
the opposite side of the Pacific, and
the fruit brings $3.50 per bushel. OF
course the apples are carefully Sc
lected and packed, but the fact that
such prices can be obtained fully war
rants the trouble. When an American
product as perishable as apples can
be shipped 10000 miles across the
water and sold at big profit it should
be encouragement to try the same
process with other articles. There are
hundreds Of things which the United
States can supply, and the field is
waiting to be improved.

A recent chemical investigation by
the New York health department dis
closes the pleasing intelligence that
bologna sausage and liverwurst are
all that they should be. Frankfurters
are uncertain, however, because some
of them are seasoned with borax or
sulphite. In view of the doubt that
was cast on these delicacies some
months ago this information will be
welcomed by would-be consumers
whose faith was undermined. AS for
little borax, there might be worse
things in sausage!

Build Strategic Railroads.

The administration of the Alsace-
Lorraine railways has decided to build
at Saarburg great strategic railroad
station, 40 kilometers from the French
boundary. 1t will cost over 5000. 900.
Immense platforms will be connected
with the barracks. The French are
building a strategic railway from NAL
medy to StavelOt.

Extending Canadian Lines

The coming year will witness an
unusual activity in railroad construc-
ton in Ontario and Quebec. A num-
Der of new lines and important extern
sions are under way. and the total
mileage added to the lines of the coun-
try will exceed that of any year since
the building of the original lines be-
tween Toronto and Quebec.

Our navy certainly is wonder. One
hundred men from each of the battle

''For several years have been troubled
with peculiar spasmodic affection Of
the throat. Itwould seize me suddenly
and for few minutes would be nm
able to speak audibly, and my breath
would be greatly interfered with I
would be obliged to gasp for breath.
6 I finally concluded that it was some
catarrhal affection which probably ex-
cited the spasm. It interfered with my
vocation as a preacher, attacking me
occasionally in the pulpit.
had heard SO much about Peruna
as catarrh remedy that determined
to try it. After taking two bottles, my
trouble has disappeared. I feel sure
that Peruna has greatly benefited me-"
Rev. P. e. Swanstrom, Swedish Bap-
fist Pastor, Box 1913, Grantsburg, Wis.
writes that from the use of Peruna he
is perfectly well, entirely cured of
chronic diarrhea and catarrh.
Peruna IN Tablet form.
For two years DIR. Hartman and his
assistants have necessarily labored to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous labors have just been crowned
with success People who object to
liquid medicines can now secure Peruna
Tablets, which represent the medicinal
ingredients Of Peruua. Each tablet is
equivalent to one average dose Of
Peruna.
