A Lost Dog.
There are many touching sights in
a great oity, but none much more so
than to watch a lost dog. At first
there is a look of startled surprise on
his face when he loses the scent, quictc-
ly followed by a grim sort of liumor. as
though pretending his bewilderment
is but a joke. He circles round and
round, and las face grows ihin 'and his
eyes almost human in their anxious
pleading. He starts oft" in one direction, sure that he had found the trail.
He is baffled, and turns back. He looks
in the face of all who pass as if questioning to know his way. , He thinks
he recognizes his master, and is off
like a Hash, only to return more anxious and eager than before. He gives
himself no.rest, but doubles and pursues and turns back until, all hope is
dead in his faithful canine breast, and
he starts, off with a long lope down* the
street. Then it is that some demoniac
boy or some detestable man flings a
stone at him or kicks him as he flies
by, and the cry is raised: "Mad dog!
"Kill him!" So the great host of idlers
in ambush, who wait the opportunity
for mischief as bees await the blossom
of the 'buckwheat, are turned loose
upon his crack and his doom is sealed.
Prom a kwt dog to a hunted and dead
cur is an easy transition.—Chicago

WEST AND ITS AIR,
Why It la Dry, and Its Effect jon Those
That Breathe It.
Beyond doubt one,of the most important assets of the new west is climate. When an. inhabitant of the Atlantic seaboard, or of the shores ot
the Great Lakes, or of the lowlands of
the south, can no longer withstand
the -peneration of cold, damp winds,
or the malarious breath of swamps,
his family physician sends him to the
arid west. Throughout its length and
breadth it is one vast sp.nitariuin. Its
pure, sweet air and its s-iiiiiy"skies
are instinct with the breath of life.
They put new heart into the drooping
invalid, prolonging his life, and if he
be not too far gone at the outset, restoring J:he old vigor to the shattered
body. The faces of the permanent sojourners within their influence they
paint with the brown badge of health.
It is too early as yet to observe the
full effect of the climate on the population of the arid west, trat the sufficient results are apparent to warrant
the assertion that these influences will
breed a great race. The superior climate of the arid west is due to fundamental conditions that diHer widely
fro.ni those of eastern America. Viewed
from the standpoint of the broader
climatic effects, the eastren half of
the "United States is one wide plain.
The moisture-laden winds from lakes
and gulf, as from tha great ocean itself, meet none but insignificant barriers. But in the far west the mountains are the supreme factor in the
making of the climate. The coast
range stands eternal guard along the
margin of the sea, while a little farther inland the Sierra, Nevada lifts
its giant peaks to intercept the clouds
that escape the outer barrier, and to
condense their moistux-e into snow.
"Down the center of the continent,
from Canada to Mexico, the Rocky
Mountains tower far into the sky, repeating upon the eastern edge of the
arid region the process of condensing
and storing the winter's rain and holding it against the summer's need. Between the three great primary ranges
scores of shorter ones, or isolated
mountain groups, reach -their long
arms into the desert. The dryness,
purity and lightness of tbe atmosphere
are due to this mountain topography,
and to the high average altitude
throughout the region.—"From The
Conquest of Arid America.    "

A telegraph special from Washington says: Congressman Henry C.

W. Smith that he will not endorse him

use for "Doc1* for several reasons, one
being that "he opposed his nomination.

Writing at a Distance.
The telautograph has come to life
again, this time in England. It will
be rememW'ejJ^tnat an instrument of
this character, designed to reproduce
automatically at'a distance aHy-mpve-
ment given to a transmitting pen, was
designed and exhibited by Prof. Elisha
Gray of this country during tha
"World's Columbian exposition. "For
some reason, whether from lack of- a
special field for the use of the instrument, or inability to maintain the instrument in proper working-order, it
has never come into practical use. If
an. earth return is used two line wires
are used between the sending -and receiving stations. In operation the instrument operates on the principle of
varying the resistance in each of these
wires by means of a rheostat, and
therefore of varying the current* The
current affects what is practically the
needle of a galvanometer at the other
end of the line, the angular movement
of which is determined by the strength
of the currents, the link-work at the
receiving station exactly reproducing
that at the sending station. Full details of the apparatus have not yet
been published owing to delay in patent applications in foreign countries.
The company exploiting this apparatus claims to have made a number of
contracts with large corporations for
the use of their instrument.—Philadelphia Record.
The most soothing, healing and antiseptic application ever devised is
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. It relieves at once and cures piles, sores,
eczema and skin diseases. Beware of
imitations.   "On terkircher "s d rug store.
