Dear Sirs,—I feel it my euty to

for over sixteeri years, and Suflered
badly at that. 'There have been

As I could not get Dr. Chase's
Ointment from my ehemist, 1 wrap

I am sure you will be surprimd to

In the Americae Museum of Natural
History is a wonder of merino life
M the" shape of a gigantic Japanese
crab measuring 12 feet, making it
the largest crustacean in the 'world.
The specimen is a type of the spider
crab, which inhabits the wa,ters of
the group of islands forming the rn-
pire of Japan. The body - portion
of this mammoth' crustacean is the
size of a half-nushel measure, while
its two great arms, eontabline saw-
like teeth, called 'pincers," could
easily encircle t'he figure of, a mare

BUYING PURE IlitEltIDS.
A farmer who buys a trio or more
by some of his neighbors for paying
el. or $2 each for fowls. Neverthe-
less, these seine farmers and neigh-
bors will promptly come forward
with, a reeuest to "ehange eggs" with
texe when they desire to hatch chicAS
the next spring. If a farmer buys
eggs of the pure breeds, he buys
stock, the eggs being eiraply the em-
bryo chicks.
A farmer who desires to improve
often goes too far sometimes,. . In-
stead of depending on one breed he
begins with 'two or more. His in-
terest will be satficiently strong for
a year or two to keep tlie different
va,ritties separate, but in the course
of time he will Undertake to save
labor by turning all the breeds out
together. Theo the down grade be-
gins, arid in a season or two leis
fowls will all be crossbred witli no
uniformity or fixed characteristics.
If a farmer desires to improve, let
hire begin with purebred mates if he
does not wise to purchase a trio or
more, but stick to one breed. If be
gets a male every Year, Mt it be of
the breed lie originally selected:. In
-two or three years he win have the
necks uniform and they will grow
better and better every season, and
at a cost that is almost insigniOcant.
If neighbors desire to improve, let
them co-operate in purchasing pure
breeds, and if they refuse, then he
should compel theist to pay him for
his enterprise, when they mil witli a
sitting of eggs from mongrel hens
to be exchanged for something bet-
ter. A dollar or two invested in
pare breds will make a 'difference in
the quality of the stock and the num-
ber of eggs laid of more than ten
times the cost of the birds purch-
ased.
IMPROVED TROUGH.
One of the greatest troubles with'
the, hog is that be is so irrepressi-
bly hogah, When you feed him, he
apparently feels in his inherent duty
to crowd every other hog as far, and
forcefully- away from the feed ns pos-
sible. When fed grain on the open
floor, he takes it upon himself to
cover as omen as lie can, to keep
noseing and -pushing his fellows, of-
ten to his owe loss of food, since
more or less is wasted by his rude
"table inanaers." When fed slo
in the trough:, where he complacent-
ly stands lengthwise, and if not sat-
isfied with that, leers himself down,
gulping in his own and the smaller
ones" share lentil too full even to
grunt, when he will stretch out for
sneoze if .the troegli is big enough,
To avoid the waste of feed arid
to give ail an equal chalice to se-
cure their Share., this device is as
tDood as, if not better then, any.

DOG AS CASH DEPOSITOR.,
TakesnuNasin7tenersislitionngey-Tritop,B.rnir
"Rags" is the name of a little
Mongrel dog, not prepossessing ins
appearance, owned by Mrs. John IL
Murrison, whose husband is a bootee
keeper in a tannery at Middletown,
N. Y., where the canine spends much
of hie thne, but, nevertheless, thief
dog, owing to this remarkable Intel-
tlimnngen.ee, is highly prized, by his miss
"Rags" makes a daily practice of
visiting the local bank where he ao-
potiits the money of the firm Where
Mr. Morrison is engaged. Ile has
'developed an instinct almost human.
He will not allow anyone to handle,
the deposit book after once taking
it in his mouth, save the bank of-
ficials and bis rriaster at the tan-
nery. Rolls of bills ha "Rags'
mouth are much safer by far than in°
hands of many men, who would be
trusted witli this important errand..
Another pastime of this remarkable
dog is to visit a pond near by his
home, and with pole in moutli swims
out to middle of stream and there
fish for specimens of finny tribe.
Superintendent tarry IL Hayes, ot
the. taamery, was wench* past the
pond recently, when he. thought to
have a Httle sport with "flags" by
pretending to burl. sex:teething into,
the pond for the clog to go after. The
dog jumped in and, swimming to the
centre of the pond, was seen to
plunge about for a Minute and then
start to swim back.
• The action of the dog -excited Mr..
Hayes' curiosity. He came to the
conclusion that "Rags" had sudden-
ly become ill, and. was .upon the
point of going to the rescue when. in
the -mouth of the dog Ee saw a long
pole :from whieli a lino was trolling.
Now and then there was a violene
jerkinp, of the pole and line welch

The inhabitantsof' the of

Italy, were thrown into a state of
panic on Monday evening by a party
of forty lunaties, who were eetrained
at the railway station without, no-

Tney wandered about the town,
committing all kinds of eocentricities
and frightenerl many of the shop-
keepers atel other residents nearly
out ot their lives.
The mayor telegraphed to the per-
fect of the province for an explana-
tion. in reply he learneti that the
provincial council, owing to lack of
funds, had been obliged to close the
lunatic assluin and send all the in-
mates home to their feud:Ike. Those
who were eneltiimed and without re-
latiese had been sent to Atessa, the
neareee towe, and set free.
This extraordinary act of the pro-
vincial COSOCI1 itas been ieferred to
the government at 'Rome, so that

SCOUTING- WITH 'TELEPHONE.
Scouting with the aid of the tele-
phone has become one of the fea-
tures of modern warfare, and is now
being made -use of by the Japanese.
Two scouts proheed from the lines
toward the ettamy; one, the observer,
is, a skilled army officer, whct makes
the observations, which are trans-
mitted back through a telephone incI
paid out from a reel carried by an
electriciau of the signal, corps. A
ground return is used, the ground be-
ing made by thrusting a bayonet or
hatchet into the earth and attaching
one of the lines to it. The electrici-
an carries a battery on his back. He
also makes a connection and does the
talking. A special conductor is used
which will stand the rough usage. In
this manner a scout truly be able to
stay out a long time and give valu-
able information witlioat being ob-
lig-edtomake a number of hazard-
ous trips to the front.
