Doc Hero of AusterIitz.

In the annals of the French army
Mustache is still celebrity. Mustache
was one of the dogs used in the Italian
campaign when Napoleon was first
consul He saved the French army
from night surprise and humiliation.
Later he tracked and captured a spy
who had secured valuable information
But this dogs crowning achievement
was at the battle of Austerlitz. The
standard bearer Of the regiment had
Just fallen dead. Mustache's teeth and
an Austrian soldiers hand grasped the
tattered banner simultaneously. Mus
tache flew at his enemy's throat and
bore him down. Then, Selling the flag.
he carried it back to the regiment.
Napoleon gave Mustache the highest
decoration for his valor. He met a sol
dier's death not long after this, racing
forward beside the flag. leading the
regiment In a furious charge.-New

Curious Street Names.

The list of curious street names is
inexhaustible. Bermondsey possesses
a Pickle Herring street Near Gray's
inn there is to be found a Cold Bath
square. Most Of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden ironically
enough In the slums of the east end.
But for really bizarre street names
one should go to Brussels. The Short
Street Of the Long Chariot, the Street
Of the Red Haired Woman and the
Street of Sorrows are remarkable
enough to catch the least observant
eye. The Street Of the One Person IS,
as one might guess, considerably mar
rover than Whitehall. But the cream
Of Brussels street names surely belongs
to the Street Of the Uncracked Silver
Cocoanut. This in the original appears
as one ponderous thirty-six letter word

An Artists STRUGGLES,

Professor Won Herkomer, the famous
painter, had such a struggle to gain
a living in his early days that had It
not been for his inexhaustible stock of
patience and self confidence he would
probably have abandoned art entirely.
He sold his first picture for 2 guineas
and later on earned for a short time
a couple of pounds weekly for wood
cut which he supplied to q comic paper.
This modest salary coming to stop,
he was at his wits end to know what
to do. He applied to troupe Of min
strels for an engagement as either
player, but in vain, and then took to
designing carpets. For some years he
battled with poverty. achieving no sue
cess until he obtained employment on
a weekly illustrated journal.-London

1imiditN of the Horse.

The horse is by nature a timid ami
NAL, as, generally speaking, all ami
mails are to whom. nature has given
powers of swift flight as. their chief
means Of self preservation. OF course
individuals differ in this respect, but
the rule is so general that it should
never be lost sight of in training. That
the horse can be trained to war simply
shows the extent to which his natural
impulses can be modified and subdued
by the art of man.
Breeds of horses differ in regard to
natural timidiSy. The pure bred Arab
Is beyond all comparison the most
fearless horse in the world. 1t is pos
sible that this may be owing in part
to the fact that his natural develop
ment was for long ages in an open
country, where he was not in constant
danger from unseen foes. but chiefly /
think because he Is a higher evolu-
tionary type than any other horse

An Incian's Comment.

Are We civilized? A young woman
who visited the Grand canyon a few
weeks ago had an educated Indian as a
guide one day. and as the party went
along they saw a father, aggravated
by something his young son had done,
stop on the edge Of the canyon and
give the boy thorough spanking. The
Indian was indignant. THAT Is what
I call barbarous," he exclaimed. Now,
that boy will always remember this
great canyon as the place where he re-
ceived a spanking. He might have car
ried q picture Of its grandeur In his
mind that would have assisted In de-
veloping him. but now all that Is spoil
ed. We Indians don't do things that
way. We expect our children to endure
pain, but we don't inf1ict It" And
wasn't the Indian right?-Leavenworth

The Horned Lark.

Looks like Satan, the horned lark
does, with his two black horns Of feath-
ers sticking out on top Of his head
He wears a suit Of a grayish brown
touched with pink. A black curve over
his eyes and another black crescent
under his chin help give him a wicked
aspect. His satanic topknot, the two
tiny tufts Of black feathers on the
back Of his head, gives him the name.
He's the horned lark.
But really he's not so bad as he
looks. You know that the minute you
see his brown eyes and hear him sing.
The farmer knows he isn't such a
wicked bird too. The horned lark eats
all kinds of wild seeds. beetles, weevfls
and bugs. If he gets tired Of his diet
he will start in and clean up the grass
hopper and cutworm crop.
Sometimes he will visit en- oat field,
but he doesn't cause enough damage to
get his picture in the rogues' gallery
as a dangerous thief. - Philadelphia

Ownership of Deserts.

The national government virtually
owns all our deserts, although In Texas
the state owns all the public lands. 1t
is probable that eventually the desert
lands will pass from public ownership
into the hands Of private owners by
allotment of areas, the size Of which
will be relative to their productiveness
For it must be realized that whereas In
a well watered region five acres may
be enough to support a family, any
where from 500 to 10000 acres may be
needed to support family in the des-
ert. 1t is all a matter Of water supply,
for water is primarily the basis Of land
utility and value, as 1t Is the prime
means of subsistence Of all living
things. whether plants or animals

believing that the growth Of horns was
inevitable If one drank cows milk,
begged his master not to make him
take the doctors prescription. but his
frantic pleas were denied.
There was considerable difficulty
about getting milk then because, as
there was no demand for milk-the
greater part Of the population sharing
the boys belief that its consumption
was sure to raise horns-there was nc
dairy or milkmen. Finally some was

Wood and Water

All wood contains more or less wa
ter. Even the driest wood known con-
tains two or three pounds Of water
to every hundred pounds Of weight.
Absolutely dry wood is unknown, for
the heat needed to obtain it would dis
solve the wood and convert it into gas
and charcoal An eminent Swiss au-
thority on the characteristics Of wood
believes that a sufficiently powerful
and perfect microscope, could 1t be
made, would show that the ultimate
wood cell is composed Of crystals like
grains of sugar or salt and that thin
films Of water hold the crystals apart,
yet bind them into a mass. A good
microscope shows the wood cell and
reveals its spiral bandages and its
openings and cavities, but no instru-
ment yet made reveals the ultimate
crystals that. as many believe, do ex-
ist, and that would explain why water
cannot be expelled from wood without
destroying the wood itself.

DRoPSY.

Dropsy is not disease; it is only
a manifestation of a disease. It is a
sign that advertises the fact that some
thing is wrong somewhere in the body.
1t is analogous to pain which is also
a symptom. Pain is a warning to the
patient and so is the symptom dropsy.
Pain calls the patients attention to the
fact that the function of the body is
disturbed. Dropsy also calls the atten-
ton of the patient and even other OBJ
servers to the fact that the physiology
of the human economy is not normal.
The patient who is careful will heed
these two signals. Dropsy often dis
turbs a patients lethergy more than
other symptoms. Most of the people
know something of the fatal results of
dropsical diseases; hence their activ-
tiles when they observe this signal.
Some obtuse individuals do not even
heed the symptom of dropsy until the
more distressing symptoms which fol-
low intervene. Then they are often too
late for cure.
Before the signal of dropsy the pa
tient probably has had other symptoms
which have not been needed. It often
happens that the symptom dropsy is
UNDECIDED until fatal issue impends,
when the patient is beyond medical aid.
The two organs whose condition of
disease more frequently cause the symp-
tom dropsy are the heart and kidney.
Disease of the liver is less often re-
sponsible for dropsy. Heart and kid
ney dropsies are more responsive to
treatment than the liver type.
When disease of the heart is respon-
sible for the dropsy an examination of
that organ will show that fact. If the
disease of the kidney is the cause an
examination of the urine will tell it..
Therefore it is advisable to get an &C.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1915-11-27

casional examination of the urine and
heart and liver if swelling of the feet
or serious cavities of the body suggest
a disordered circulation.
Otimes dropsy is the only symptom
of failing heart that might be put in
order by early and scientific treatment.
Sometimes it is symptom of "Bright IS
Disease" or kidney trouble, when early
and proper treatment will prolong life.
1t is often the first symptom of cancer
of the liver or cancer elsewhere.
If dropsy is not properly and early
treated it will lead to a condition which
will not permit the patient to lie down
for fear of suffocating or drowning in
his own fluids. Sometimes shortness
of breath is the first sign of heart or
kidney disease. Shortness of breadth
in these conditions is called asthma.
And so in asthma as in dropsy an ex-
animation of the heart and urine will
determine the character, and treatment
is given accordingly. From the above
incomplete resume it may be seen that
it is folly to use the PATENT MEDI-
CINES which are given indiscriminate-
ly by persons who presume to treat dis
eases which they are not supposed to
know because they have made no study
of disease and its treatment.
A dropsy then can be cured if treat
ed early by one who has license to
treat disease. Dropsy can be cured also
with the process known as tapping if
the patient sees the doctor early enough.
In the early stages of dropsy the pa
tient feels tightness in the shoes after
standing for a considerable portion of
the day. Along toward the close of
the activities of the days work.
When neglected until tapping is nee
essary death is generally not long in
closing the scene.
