PICTURES FOR 1 THE DOGS.
A Ginsviatoiruph Shaw Oly Hteieste
ed the Animals In Spots.
A moving picture show was recent-
dogs walked up and bad a look at It
and turned away, obviously bored and
uninterested. Evidently the subject
was too familiar.
They woke up, however. when an
elephant came splashing into a pool
of water and appeared to be walking
into the room. A massive bulldog
made a dash for the screen. With his
head up and ears pricked. be got
ready to attack. and the whole audi
ence burked and bayed in blood cur:
dling discord. Pictures of birds also
irritated them, but when other ani-
mals were shown they quickly recog:
nized that they were vot looking at
the real thing und in a few seconds
quieted down completely.
The general result of the expert
ment seemed to be that dogs do not
understand still pictures, but that they
appreciate motion, though fit very
largely depends upon the nature of
the thing moving.—Pearson's Weekly.
SALT A-PLENTY IN PERU.
A Natural Factory That Is Operated
on an Automatic Plan.
About a bundred miles north of
Lima, near the town of Huacho, is one
of the great curiosities of nature, #
salt factory on an automatic plan.
When the tide comes in it fills a lot
of shallow basins, and the water fs
prevented from flowing back into the
sea by closing the gates. The atmos
phere Is so dry that the water evapo
rates rapidly and leaves a sediment of
salt in an almost pure state, which is
scraped up. packed into sacks and
shipped to market.
Within the coast a iittle farther the
percolation of sea water through the
porous rocks into pits and hollows has
caused immense deposits of salt to ac
comulate. The salt is taken out in
blocks six or eight inches square and
sold in that form. As soon as the
salt is excavated the water comes In
again and In a year or two has solidi
fled and is ready for the market.
Wells driven into the sand disclose
strongly impregnated water at a depth
of twenty-five feet, which seems to be
& great deal heavier than the sea wa-
ter. and is drawn off into vats for
evaporation.

Too Much Sex In Literature.
Literature is oversexed. If we were
to believe the fictionists and the play:

UMBRELLAS ARE ANCIENT.
But They Were Ridiculed When They
First Appeared In London.
Umbrellas were described in early
fictionaries as “a portable penthouse
10 carry in a person's band to screen
dm from violent rain or heat.”
Umbrellas appear in the carvings at
Persepolis. Niebuhr saw a great Arab-
an prince returning from a mosque, he
ind eath member of his family having
t large umbrella carried by their side.

shaded by umbrellas. They were first
gsed In this country In Baltimore,
brought from Indian, in 1772. It i= said
that the first person who commonly
sarried an umbrella in London was the
benevolent Jonus Hanway, who died
n 1784,
John McDonald, a London footman,
whe wrote his own life, said that he
bad “a fine silk umbrella which he
brought from Spain.” but be could not
with any comfort to himself use it. the
people calling out: “Frenchman! Why
don't you get a conch? The hackney
sonchmen and chairmen were clamor-
ing against their rival. The footman
says he persisted for three months till
they took noe further notice of this nov.

DENTISTRY FOR TREES.
All Cavities Should Be Treated as Soon
as They Appear,
Whether it is a shade or fruit tree a
little judicions treatment of a cavity
will often save the tree for many
years of usefulness. Whether it be a
branch or the main trunk the treat-
went will be the same. First all de-
caved or apparently decaying or dis.
eased wood should be removed with a
sharp chisel or knife until perfectly
sound heartwood is exposed. Immedi-
ately wash the wound with a solution
of copper sulphate in the proportion of
one pound of sulphate to five =aNom
of water,
As soon as this has heen done an the
cavity with a thin mortar made by
mizing one part of cement with three
parts of clean sand. When it has be-
come stiff, but not hard, face it on the
outside with thin cement. using a
trowel to smooth the cement over all
parts that bave become Injured. If a
cavity or split should ocenr near a fork
of the tree It wonld be an additional
safeguard to put a long bolt through
both branches so as to hold them to-
gether. When the cement hardens in
a cavity the trunk will be perfectly
solid, and decay will be arrested.—

London In 1784.
In 1784 M. La Combe published a
book entitled "A Picture of London,”
in which. Inter alla, he says. “The
highroads thirty or forty miles round
London ure filled with armed highway-
men and footpuds.” This was then
pretty true, though the expression
“filled” is somewhat of an exaggera.
tion.
M. La Combe in another part of his
book exclaims: “How are you changed,
Londoners: Your women are become
bold, imperious and expensive. Bank.
rupts and beggars, coiners, spies and
informers. robbers and pickpockets
abound. The baker mizes sium in bis
bread. The brewer puts opium and
copper filling In his heer. The milk
woman spoils her milk with snails.”
Honest Surprise.
“King Lear 1» a great character,”
remarked the friend.
“Yes.” answered the actor. “1 anp-

“Indeed!” was the rejoinder, in a
tone of gentle surprise. *Then how on

FILLING THE LUNGS. |
Correct and Deep Breathing is Essen. |
tial to Good Health.
No plece of advice the physician can |
give will bear more frequent repetition |
than the pithy sentence, “Breathe
deeply.” Itis a perfectly simple rule
of heaith, yet it is constantly broken. !
There are two ways to learn to
breathe. If our powers of self discl-
pline are poor, as is the case with most
insufficient breathers. it is a good plan |
to join a gymnasium or calisthenic class | |
and learn to use the lungs as a baby
learns to use its feet and bands. But |
remember that lessons in breathing |
will do no good If the scholar thinks he |
is absolved from his task except when |
he is In the class.
A simpler method for those io!
have not time or opportunity to at-|
tend a gymnasium is to turn life's daily |
routine into a continuous discipline In |
breathing. If the poor breather takes |
the trouble to watch himself carefully |
he will find that when he is engaged |
upon any work that calls for close at- |
tention he does not even breathe as
deeply as usual; be almost invariably |
holds his breath. Thus the blood cur- |
rent is vitinted when it ought to be
cleansed. and the worker exhausts '
himself, not so much by his labors as |
by his neglect. !
Draw in deep drafts of air every
time you take a breath, and every lit-
tle while stop everything else and 61
your lungs a few times with breaths
that test their capacity. You will be
surprised to see the improvement that
it will make in your general condition.

PRUNING BY RAIN.
One of Nature's Many Methods of
Thinning Her Forests.
Nature has many ways of thinning
and pruning and trimming her forests
~lightning strokes, heavy snows and
storm winds to shatter and blow down
whole trees here and there or break off
branches ax required. The results of
these methods | huve observed in dif-
ferent forests. but only once have |
seen pruning by rain
The rain froze on the trees as it fell
and grew so thick and heavy that
many of them lost a third or more of
their branches. The view of the
woods after the storm had passed and
the sun shone forth was something
never to be forgotten. Every twig
and branch and rugged trunk was en-
cased In pure crystal ice, and each oak
and hickory and willow became a fairy
crystal palace. Such dazzling bril-
Hance, such effects of white light and

had never seen. nor have | since.
This sudden change of the leatless
woods to glowing silver was, like the
great aurora, spoken of for years and
is one of the most beautiful of the
many pictures that enrich my life.
And besides the great shows there
were thousands of others. even in the
coldest weather, munifesting the ut.

apothecaries for many years were firm
believers in the etlicacy of the color
red as n combatant of disease. Pa.
tients. especially those suffering from
rheumatism, were frequently wrapped
in red blankets and dressed in red
clothes. “Let your nightcap be of
scarlet.” recommended Andrew Bor
den In his discourse on sleep, “and
petycote of scarlet also.” while a
physician in the sixteenth century ad
vised that the face be washed once a
week and then wiped with a red cloth
Upon this latter item of the prescrip-
tion great stress was laid--no doubt
the color of the cloth was intended to
act as an antidote against the chill of
such frequent ablutions.
Grease a Cause of Disease.
Grease in a sink Is a very prolific
cause of disease. It cannot but accu-
mulate from dishes and utensils, and
when small bits of vegetable matter
adhere to it a shelter Is given to mis.
chievous bacterin. Besides. grease
will clog the drain and become a men-
ace and an inconvenience. The surest
and simplest cleansing agent is a
strong solution of washing soda and
boiling water The sink should first
be scrubbed with soapsuds and the
hot solution then dashed down the
drain, This cleaning should be done
at least once a week.—Chicago News.

Duncan Macpherson was playing

over a stream in a hollow. “My, but
yon wis a fine drive owre the bonny

over this same “burn” for another
hole and drove right into it. “Gang
