DOG AND CAT REMEDIES.
A Pew Practical Medicines for Our
Domestic Animals.
Fiom the Baltltnoie Atneticau
Keiosene is often adised foi use on
dogs and cats, but it is not wise to em
ploy this means of killing fleas, as It is
mote likely to kill the animal itself.
One cnt was bt ought to the league last
summer with every hair gone and her
skin bare and inflamed. She was suf
fering teniblv, as one would suffer
from a bad burn, and the whole cause
was that her owner tiled an duplica
tion ot keiosene to kill fleas. Many
cases of Injuiy tiom the use of catholic
soap and liquids made of caibolic acid
aie known. Simple and not seveie lem
eelies aie alvva.s advisable for external
or internal use.
This is a good time of the jear to
give your dog or jour oat a little coutse
of sulphur. Theie ate vailous ways of
giving it. You may sprinkle an even
teaspoont til of powdered sulphur on
meat or In a saucer of milk or mix it
in any food that is given; or in the case
ot cats mix half a teaspoonful with a
le.ispoonrul or laid and put it on the
cat's paws oi fur, and the cat will lick
it off. Another way Is tu buy the
homeopathic piepatallon ot sulphur
pellets, and a. dog will eat them ns tead
lly as he would candv. Many peisons
who keep cats and dogs use home
opathic lemedles entirely for their ail
ments, I have given nux nilea often
to my maltese tenier when he lacks
appetite or has u bad-smelling biealh.
I give him fiom four to six pellets at
night and in the nioinliig, It is usually
quite safe to give the same lemedles to
a dog or cat that you would give to a
child, and lu about the same ptopoi
tlon, taking age, size, etc., into con
sldetntlnti. Sweet oil Is valuable In any
tendency to constipation, and most
dogs and cats like it. For a small dog
a tablespoonful ponied over light white
bread that has been cut up into dice
may be given twice a week to advant
age unless theie is some special teason
against It. A cat will take it clear If
it is given in place of food, or It may
be put on little bits of law beef or
cooked fish,
Cilvo watet give water to our dumb

Afanasy
Translated from the Russian.
MORH than n j ear had elapspd
since Afanasy Rnnttlga had
bowed to the ground before
Mai Inn, and said tu her: "You
shall bo my wire," and Mai bin leplled,
also with a low bow: "And you my
husband."
Immediately after the wedding Rns
ttlga went away with his comtnilos on
a spiee which lasted two dtiys and two
nights, nnd when ho had finished feast
ing he Btnited oft hi quest of booty to
wards the Ultie sen. And the young
bride waited ami waited for , her hus
band In vnln.
It wns a winter evening. Here und
theie lu the village giotips of Cossacks
sang old songs of valor, told stotles ot
victories In the past, and drank wine.
Suddenly tho singing ceased.
"I hear some shouting near the vil
lage," said one of the older Cossacks.
All listened amidst profound .silence.
At first It seemed to them like the
howling of the wind: then they heard
distinctly shouts ot joy, songs and gun
shots, The Cossacks tan out Into the
street,
"It looks ns though our people ate
coming homo! Afanasy Is coming
home!" All tho men rollected on the
squato; only the women dared not
leave the huts; they sat by the win
dows and walled for the tettitn ot their
beloved ones with alarm,
AVhen Afanasy t cached the square he
jumped off his gray Persian horse, went
down on his knees, made the sign ot
the cross facing the east, Imprinted u
devout kiss upon the ground, then rose
nnd bowed on nil four sides:
"Peace to you, great chleftans, and
nil the gieat army of the Cossacks on
the Don," he greeted the assembled, in
a. loud, clear voice.
"Peace to you, Afanasy. How have
you fated? Have you In ought much
booty with you?"
"You can see It for 50111 selves," be
said, pointing at thp tilted carts, "AVe'vo
done a clever piece of woik, my boys!
Oh, how we've woiked! I'll never for
get it!"
The 'v lllage became noisy at once.
The Cossacks began to kiss one an
other, and the newcomers 1 elated the
stories of their adventures in distant
lands. In the meantime the booty was
caited away to another squaie, wiieie
men weie stationed to watch It until
the next day, when each of the plun
derers would get his shaie in front of
the rntlie community.
It was late at night when Afanasy
came home. He was- not alone: with
him came a handsome young1 Cossack.
"Well, my dear little wife." shouted
Afanasy cheerfully, kissing Marina and
clasping her close to him, "thank God,
we've bt ought along fine things with
u. This is my oung fliend. Mlkhailo.
He'll stay with us) for a while. Let us
now eat our suppei, and then we'll take
a little lest. Tomonow at dawn we'll
go to the squaie to shate our booty."
Minimi had hoped to succeed this
time in checking her husband's sense
less ptodigality, his mad thirst for
gambling, his love of dilnk. Rut In
aln! Afanasy rose at dawn, and, don
ning his best velvet coat embiotdeied
with gold, tlnevv a Persian lug on top
of it, put on his coloted boots, tin ust a
Circassian saber into his belt, and went
off to the squaie with his young fliend
Mlkhailo.
Tow .11 ds evening Mlkhailo came to
Mai ina with a message from Afanasy,
saying that her husband would not le
turn home so soon, because he was in
the middle of an exciting game.
"And, besides," added the young Cos
sack, "he has been tii inking too much
to be able to come home now."
Thus It was for several davs In suc
cession. Mntina could lesttain herself
no longei. She tesolved to unburden
her aching beait to Mikhailo. though
she did not expect to And in him a
ready listener. She even felt certain
that us a Cossack he would stand by
her husband. But she was wrong.
"To fotsake a woman like you!" said
Mlkhailo in a bioken oice. "That's
horiible; Diop him. come with me I
love you! I loved you ever since I fust
cast my eyes 011 you. I cannot live
without you! I feel so sad now. The
square does not tempt me w Itlt its
cheeiful songs, nor the wine, nor the
exciting game. You alone ate always
befoie my mind; I can't be without
on."
Mai Ina looked ut him with f lightened
e es. Never had a single Cossack spok
en to her lu sucli a. manner. She
stood as petrified. Though his words
weie like music to her ears, she soon
tinned away fiom him In silence.
In the distance tang the songs the
C'ossnt ks sang about Svv eden, about
the Tiuklsli .Sultnu, and the execution
of Stepan Ruzln.
The day wns declining, and all was
quiet In the village when Afanasy at
last letumed to his hut. Ills face was
swollen and lead fiom sleeplessness
and extp.ss of dilnk. His eyes had
glow 11 dim, but he was sober. Mailno,
1.111 out to meet him.
"At last, my deaiest!" she exclaimed,
and was about to cmbtace him, but
suddenly she stopped shoit.
"Afansy, what has befallen yon?"
she asked, gazing into ills sad, stern
face. ,
"Mai Ina, I've plaed the D.inllo and
lost you to him. Do you uiuletstand?"
Mai Ina staled at hint ln astonish
ment. Slio could not compiehend the
meaning of his words,
"A'es, I played with Danilo and I
lost. 1 must give him u bundled du
cats toinouovv. Have you any nice
clothes to put on'.'"
"What for,'"
"What 11 question. Don't you under
stand? They'll give moie for you if
you'll be better dressed!"
"Afansy, what does all this mean?"
"What it means?" shouted Afanasy.
"I'll take you out on tho squat o to
liwnovv and I'll ptoolalm aloud; 'I
don't like .Mai Ina! AA'hoever likes her
mny buy her fiom mo.'"
Marina sank to the gtottiid with a
moan.
"Don't you like me any 11101 e, my
deat est?"
"I don't like you," said the Cossack
obstinately,
Marina clasped his knees and kissed
his ntud-bespatteted boots. Afntuisy
maintained silence,
"Hli, If I leully didn't like ou, It
wouldn't pain 1110 so much!" ho said
after a pause, with a sigh, seating
himself on a bench and jesting his
elbows on the table. "Such a good,
industilous wife ns you aie Oh, no,
Mai Ina. I do love you I love ott dear

nsv"
"VAu w hut's the use of talking to 1
womnn!" diuwlcd out Afanasy witl
contempt. "I can't; you must under
stand me. I can't help III t gavo mj
honest word as a Cossack that settle:
It' Begone!"
"Afanasy!"
"Regotte, I sav, I can't look at you
AA'hnt sort of 11 Cosonek would I be If 1
weie to change my won! for the sake
of a womnn?"
Marina walked out of the hut. It
was a calm, stnillt night. She did not
know w bet e to go.
"He loves me, und yet ho loves im
not! Haw slrunge!" thought slip, ns
she paced the streets with unevet
strides,
Suddenly the stately figure of Mlk
hailo appeared befoie her, He was at
tiled ln his best fur-lrlmmcd coat, and
he looked handsomer than ever.
"Mai ina," he asked softly, "what has
bt ought you heie at this hour ol
night?"
"I" said she In confusion "I wenl
out for a walk Afanasy is home al
ieady "
"I know he must have chused you
out of the house."
Mat Ina nodded In silence.
"I was told," began Mlkhailo, "thai
Afanasy lost a hundretl ducats to Dan
ilo and that he'll take you out on the
square tomorrow and will say: 'I don't
like Marina. Is it true?"
The Cossack woman made no reply.
"If this Is title, I'll buy you for my
selfI'll give him two hundred, thtes
hundred ducats as much as he wants."
"Oh, no!" said Marina, softly, but
flrmlv.
"What do you mean?" wondered tho
young Cossack. "Afanasy gave his
word, and the wotd of a Cossack Is not
a trifle!"
"I shall rather drown myself than
bear this disgrace."
"This is no disgrace, Marina, It Is a
custom heie."
"No. If I bad been a captive, or If
Afan.isy didn't love me, then It would
be different. But I am a Cossack wo
manand I love Afanasy."
"Don't you love me at all, Marina?"
"You. I like you. You are not at all
like the rest. You speak to me as to
your equal I like you, but I love Afan
asy. He is my husband, given to me by
the Loid and you are as a brother to
nie. I like you as a brother!"
"Eh, Marina! Come, marry me I'll
gie you riches, I'll caress you as none
of these Cossacks can caress. Come,
many me, or It will be worse for you
I'll buy you tomorrow on the square."
"You will not! If God has decreed it
that I shall be disgraced, I'll make an
end to it all. I'll drown myself! While
Afanasy is alive I cannot live with
anothei; IM lather die. Am I not a
Cossack woman?"
Saying this she turned and tan away
towards her hut.
Afanasy was not yet asleep. He sat
by the table, lost in thought. AVhen
he heard the muffled sobs of Marina in
the adjoining loom, he felt that hl
heart was growing softer from her
sobs. He realized how deaily he loved,
but he brushed the thought aside.
"Never mind," he consoled himself.
"I'll go out in quest of booty and I'll
forget her. And yet she was a fine
woman; an honest, well-bred Cossack
girl. But I have lost her "
"I'll turn her over to Mlkhailo," he
decided all of a sudden. "He seems to
be a good fellow. lit talk it over with
him."
He lose from his seat, paced the room
back and forth, and called Marina.
"Well, don't cry, you foolish woman.
Slop ciying!" he said, In a firm voice.
'T can't, Afanasy; what have I done
that I should be disgraced befoie the
whole village?"
"Don't talld so much! Everybody
knows what sort of a man I am.- I've
pawned my hotse; shall I pethaps hesi
tate to sell my wife to pay a debt to
keep my promise? I am a Cossack!
Tomotrow I'll start out to look for
booty light on Mother Volga, or near
Astrakhan! And you you shall mairy
no one else than Mlkhailo. He's young,
he's sttong, he's a good horseman. And
never think of me. I'm ashamed to
say it but I loved you. ."While I was
away I thought of you? I longed to
leturn to the quiet Don, and take a
good rest near you. Rut what's the
use! Hvidently God bos decreed it
otherwise. I loved you, Marina, and
j on aie still dear to my heart!"
Mailna. advanced towards her bus-
hand mid leaned her head upon his
bieast and wept.
"I'll drown myself iC you forsake
me!" she said.
Suddenly the door waH flung open
and Mlkhailo, pale as death, rushed
Into the 100m. lie had heard and been
everything fiom behind the window.
"Afanasy," said he, in a trembling
voice, "you were kind to me you have
made a Cossack of nie. All your othei
friends have lost at play, but I, thank
tiod, I have lost nothing. Afanasy, w
aie comrades sliate with me my putse,
I've heaid of your misfortune. Theie,
take these two hundted ducats we'll
get square some time."
And placing tho gold oil the table,
he depailed. Marina ran out after
hlin, and seizing his hand, pressed It to
her lips for a long time.
An hour later MIkhallo'a cleai', stiong

"Chieftains and comrades, let's stmt

And tho most despetato of the Cos.
