ish Canine to Baggage.

Soon after the train had started,
the conductor, in collecting his fares,
noticed small white dog, with a
bushy tail and bright black eyes, costly
sitting on seat beside a young lady.
She was quite pretty, but the conduc-
tors duty was plain.
"I'm very sorry. madam he said
with unusual suavity, "but it's against
the rules to have dogs In the passen-
ger cars"
ooh! dear! is that so?" replied the
young lady, looking beseechingly from
her brown eyes. "What shall do? l
can't throw him away. He's a present
tor my aunt"
''Throw him away! BY no means,
miss! Well put him in the baggage
car, and he'll be just as happy as the
robins in spring."
"What-put my nice white dog In
your dirty old baggage carr"
''Tm sorry, miss. but the rules Of
this company must be enforced. He

But the conductor was firm, and
called out to the brakeman, who was
carrying signal flag.
'Here, Mike, put this dog in the bag

of care of him."
The brakeman picked up the dog as
carefully as if it were baby. There
was sudden twitcfing of the facial
muscles, and he hastily said to the con-
ductor:
'Here, you just hold him minute
till put this flag away"
Out of the car door he went, and
held on to the brake wheel, shaking
like man with ague.

Deep Sea Diving Now Feasible.


Experiments made by the British id.
miralty and the United States navy
prove that deep-sea diving is feasible,
says Popular Science Monthly.
It has been found that the shorter
the time a diver takes in getting to
the bottom the better, because the
body absorbs less nitrogen. Also. the
diver must have at least one and one
half cubic feet Of air per minute at
all depths.

Increases his stability and permits
him to come to an erect position with
ease. It also lessons the danger of

In Days Of Hard DRINKING.

In the days of George Nv. when abil-
ity to drink hard was regarded as a
mark of distinction, every glass on the
table was dedicated to one or other
dignitary. The guest who dared to
omit any part of this elaborate baccha-
nalian routine was looked upon and
treated rs an unclubable fellow, the
spirit being identical with that of the
bad man" Of Bret Harte's stories who
emptied his pistol into anyone who re-
fused to drink with him.

Kidney & Co.
BY DIR. j. H. WATSON

The kidneys and the skin work IL
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being tie second partner. If we
are anxious to keep we'll and preserve
the vitality Of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as 70 eilm-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the In
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.
