mkiunoan Nature" in Dogs.

y real, ftlI-5looded English bulldog
has been in cur family for seven years,
writes Il newspaper contributor, an1
us time goes on we find him more and
more human.
One of his traits has amused Us for
years. Sunny, as the dog has. been
appropriately named, is very particu-
lar about his food. Real, old-fashioned
dog biscuit is beneath his dignity.
When a bowl of biscuit is put down
for mis- supper he shifts with disgust
and turns away.
But resting conveniently close at
hand is Il I:tie papier-mache model of
Il bulldog that rejoiccs III the name Of
I'ido. All lat we have to do in order
to bring Sunny back to his bowl is 10
call "Herc. Fido, Fid0" and TO put
I'ido in front of the dinner. So long
rs he feels that some other dog may
possibly gcG the food, Sunny will eat
cvcry crunJ, and with grunt Of salts
faction nose FidO out of the way. Is
not that precisely the nature Of some
humans?

The Teeth,

Dental decay is caused by the action
Of acid on the hard substance of the
tooth. This acid is formed from the de-
composition of starchy and sugary
foods, which cling about the creyiccs Of
the teeth long after the meal is over,
Soft, starchy or sugary foods. such as
sweet biscuits, cake, jams or marma-
iade, soaked bread, milk, puddings,
chocolate or sweets OF any kind, are al
ways injurious if eaten at the close Of
i meal.
All foods which require thorough
nasucation act as natural tooth
brushes and ward off decay. Mastica-
ti0n is a nuch neglected art. The teeth
and jaws require exercise like any
other part of the body. The perfect
teeth met with among the negroes Of
The West Indies are entirely due TO
their habit OF sucking sugar care.

BARBER POLE AS TOMBSTONE
Indian insisted on Placing Head5tone
o? His Own Choice Over Grave Of
His Dead SquaW.

Here is = curious story of tndiaQ sim
plicity, as related by IN official of the
Indian bureau at Washington, says the
Les Angeles Times.
On the Navajo reservation great Ell
forts had at one time been made to in
ducc tho Indians to abandon their Gus
tom Of leaving the bodies of their dead
above ground, ana to adopt the white
mans system Of burial.
The agents success was encouraging
and arrangements were made ny which
the government should supply neat
hcadStones. 4 stock Of them was laid
in, ana soon after they arrived tail
Navajo appeared. He had lost his
sQuaw and wished headst0ne. He
looked the collection over, but said
$40, no!' to each one.
''If you viii tell me what you want
I will try to get one" said the agent.
"Want United States tombstone,' .
said the Navajo.
The agent made every effort to find
out what was meant, but the redman
would only. respond, Omitted States
tombstone"
At last the agent, fearing that tbs
mans disappointment might result I'M
favorahly to thc scheme for intr0duc
ing white mems burial methods, gave
the Indian some money and told him Il
70 and buy the kind Of gravestone hC
liked.
Sometime afterWard q party Of hunt
ers came into the agency. They ha(
been 10 the lodge Of the tail Navajo
who had just lost his wife, and hat
seen her grave, and at the head of j
was posted q red-and-White BARRIERS
| pole!
This was the Navajo's idea of ;
''Jnited States tombstone" It was a
near as he could come to q graveston
Dcaring the national c0lOrs, and as y
Was Il very patriotic Indian, he Wa
content.

WEIGHT OF AN INCH OF WATER
One Hundred and Ten Tons Fall on
Every Acre Covered by Shower
OF That Proportion.

Do you know what an "inch Of
rain means to farmers? When the
weather bureau reports that an inch
of rain has fallen, it means that the
amount of water that descended from
the sky in that particular shower
would have covered the surrounding
territory 70 a depth ,of one inch, if
ls9e .sa8t.-....-a a8at i Bad rilE eff 2r soaksd into
the ground.
1t means taat on one acre of ground
water to fl uol}e than 600 barrels
of 45 gallons each has fallen. That
quantity Of water weighs more than
10 tons. If the rainstOrm covered
1000 acres. which would be very
small shower indeed, 113,0O0 tons OF
water would fall from the clouds.
Rainstorms frequently cover whole
counties, aud often two or three OF
five inches Of water fail in one
storm. III that case the weight OF
water that falls to the earth is sim
ply enormous. A single widespread
and heavy storm might result, it has
been estimated, in 100,000,0C0000 ton:
Of rain.

LOYALTY BIG MALAY VIRTUE
Danger and Adventure Appeal to
These People Who Are Different
From Any Others in Orient.

The Malay cities of Malacca and
Singapore have grown away from their
-birthright of old native ways ANA GUS
toms. They have taken on charac-
ter peculiar to themselves that is
unique and interesting, but they are
not at ali typical of the federated
states or of the peninsula us u whole.
An inland trip of some length is al
most Il necessity for anyone who
would get Il glimpse of the Malay life.
Such a trip would take the Traveller
to any one OF Il score of villages or
little cities, each as like the next as
one pea is like the other, save for
some detail of river, jungle or hill.
In such Untravelcd ncighborhO0dS the
Malay remains very much as the Lord
and his environment have made him.
He is Il different individual from
any one else in the Orient. He has
neither the scrvility nor the Difference
TO caste that belong to the lower class
natives of the near East, nor the i'll
dustry ard culture of China and Japan.
He is an independents cratic. shift
ure that lends itself readily to TO-
nance, victim of Il thousand super
StitiOns, with little culture and Il con-
siderable amount of poise and self
possession.
The Malay is romantic because his
virtues are the virtues of feudal So
cicty. He is brave, enduring, CoUrte-
GUS, reserved and hospitable. He has
Il real appetite for danger and adj
venture; nothing lifts him out Of his
habitual slOth and dqllncss SO quick
~ as an undertaking that has 4 spice
Of peril about it. Under such circum-
stances he will prove cool and faith
ful as long as there is life in his
body. Loyalty he counts rs chief of
the qualities to be admired.
