In Mexico the ground devoted to
cemeteries is usually very limited;
consequently the interment of a
new body involves the digging up of
the bones of some one buried many
yeara before. In a corner of anh

Mr. HMyer'e Burglar Alarm.
Mr. Hillyer was a heavy sleeper.
He was a man also with a chronic
fear af burglars. It was these two
things that led him to have the win
dow of his sleeping room equipped
with a burglar alarm of the latest
and most approved description.
A few mornings after the device
had been installed he came down to
breakfast with a grin on his face.
1 had a funny dream last night,
he said. "I dreamed that a burglar
raised my window and the alarm
went off, but be didn't seem to mind
it He rummaged the bureau draw
ers, found my watch and pocket-
book and slipped out the wav he
came in. By the way, he added,
1 forgot to bring down my watch
and pocketbook. Ill ge and get
them."
He went upstairs and returned in
a moment with an entirely different
look on his face. The watch and
pocketbook were gone. It had not
been a dream.
A Touohing Tribute.
In a tiny country village in New
England a woman died recently, and
her relatives, friends and neighbors
decided that a woman who had been
ao popular in life deserved some
thing out of the ordinary in the
way of a f uneraL
The village did not boast of a
band, bnt it had a drum corps,
which was hired to do honor to the
occasion. Solemnly it played on the
way to the cemetery, but on the re
ttim U was asked to dIst something
livelier as a sort of quickstep home.
But the drum corps had made a
specialty of serious music and knew
only one lively air. However, it
was perfectly willing to play the on
ly cheerful bit of music it knew,
and the funeral procession went
cheerily home to the strains of "The
Girl ' I Left Behind Ma. New

j A HOUSE TRAGEDY. "
. The Climax to the Remodeling af Mr.
j Mutfa Dwelling.
' Tes," said Mr. Mutt, "it was
rather odd the way I came to re
build my house. You see, Mrs. Mutt
was in town one day and happened
to buy a very handsome hall lamp J
one of the kind that stands on the
P06t of the stair banisters," and
then, says London Tit-Bits, he went
on to describe the development of
the house:
"Well, as soon as she got the
lamp home we saw that it was too J
large for the style of the stairs, so I
had to get the carpenters to come in J
and widen them and put in new j
balustrades and posts, and set them
over more toward the center of the .
halL When that was done the hall
didn't look like a hall at all, and I
had to have the carpenters tear out
the walls and make the old dining
room into a new hall.
"Then, of course, the kitchen had
to be torn away and rebuilt at the
back of- the house, so that the old
kitchen would do for a sitting
room,' and there had to be a new
dining room built to match the
finish of the halL And when things
got so far we saw at once that we
had to have a library off the halLj
and then the veranda had to go to
make room for the library, and my
pet rosebushes came up to give a
chance to build the new veranda. !
"WelL to make a long story short!
l had to remodel the second story to
match" the first, and put a third
story on in order-to take care of
the rooms that were crowded out;
by the changes in the second. And
so I had a new house all round.
"And was your wife pleased V
"Only partly. You see, just on
the last day, when the carpenters
had completed the third story and
were finishing work on the whole
job, one of them dropped his ham
men through the skvti -., and it fell
to the hall and smashed (he lamp
that had started the whole thing.

il. K. Boyer. one of tbe editors of tbs
American Poultry Journal, asked a
number of poultrymen:
"What do you consider the simplest
and most effective remedy for colds In
fowls r Following are a few of the
answers received:
D. C Adams A Son, Mew Haven,
Conn.: "Coop tbe afflicted bird and
drop two drops of coal oil above ach
nostril; then glv a teaspoon ful of ep
som salts In a half pint of wstsr. This
proves a sure cur with ua."
J. 3. Stage, Spokane, Wash.: 1 have
cured several In three days time that
had badly swelled beads. One ben was
ao bad that she could, not see to est
I anointed the head and throat thor
oughly with a standard liniment twice
a day."
H. Fuller, CSarlnda, la.: "I caa safe
ly say, there is nothing on earth to
equal onions as a remedy for colds In
poultry. If you have a valuable bird
put ber la a moderate warm, dry pan,
grease ber bead weO with bacon fat
and work some in tbe roof of the
mouth. See that the opening there to
I clear of mucus. Feed balls of meal,
with a good sound strong onion
chopped In It The bird will soon re
cover. Onion are a good preventive of
colds. For the past twnty-nv years
I have used no other remedy, and I
have bred rod reared aa large a num
ber as any man I know of."
Nathan B. Hartford. Watertown,
Mass.: "For colds In fowls I have used
with very good results, where tbe to
nes la general or when not having op
portunity to treat individuals, a small
amount of pine tar placed upon a few
shavings and an old Iron dlah. This I
est on Ore at night while the fowls
were on the roost I shut, tbe doors
sad windows closely for ten to fifteen
minutes and In most esse effected a
cure. Be sure to get tbe pure pine and
not coal tar for this purpose. Bepeet
once or twice if the' fowls are badly
affected. I have found aa excellent
remedy in mora edvaneed cases and
especially where there has been dis
charge from nostril, swollen eyes, etc,
In tbe us of peroxide of hydrogen. I
place tbe fowl under toft arm and
with the aid of an oU can Inject into
tbe nostril a few drop of this prepa
ration, using car to wipe wtth a small
piece of cloth any of tbe mucus which
win soon appear on eye and nostra.
Aftor this repeat the dose and place
the treated fowl In a pen away from
other. This is also a quick relief for
canker la tbe throat but care must be
taken not to allow too much to enter
the windpipe, ss tbe hydrogen canoe
th accumulation to foment and will
etrangto tbe fowL Car most be taken
also to cleans the hands and burn the
doth need on sick birds to prevent tb
spread of this disease, Aconite or
apongla used la tbe drinking wster to
also beneficial, but th first two are
very effectiv and, I think, a sure cur
for colds."
Be Bsnva Afeaerb
Very few' people realize how sensl
ttve tbe egg Is to bed odors, and many
even think that the shell Is a sufficient
protection against any OMtamlnattoa
from without But the shell to po
rous, and the albumen, or white of the
egg, quickly absorb and holds th Sa
vor of any bed odor to which tt to ex
posed, aa tt also dose any bad flavor

Aa the hen seems to be almost de
void of the seas of taste, care should
b taken to glv her only weB flavored
food, end the feeding of partially de
cayed meat or ask, onion and other
srnng food should never be snowed

If It to found secaeaary to use kare

j-DOGS AND WORDS.-
,Tbs Canine .Vocabulary , la . larger.
' The to ftenerslly Supposed.
According to an expert in dogs.
the canine race learns to understand
if not the entire human vocabulary
at any rate many more words than
I. ! . l.A ana
"trust," "fetch it and "cats", are
by no means the.limit of its knowl-
dogs, as a rule, have a much
larger vocabulary than any other
kind." ssys the expert "Trained
does, the kind we find with circuses
and on the stage, probably come
second, end the others are ranged
according to the lives they load.
The dog learns words much
mors rapidly than we suspose. In
the first place, this animal is a re
markably close observer. Hearing
a sound repeatedly, it soon learns to
associate it with a certain object.
Take the well trained hound, for in
stance. : He soon learns : what is
meant by gun, shoot, hunt, deer,
fox, chase and so on. Experienced
hunters can furnish many evidences
of the understanding of dogs when
it comes to the words and phrases
most frequently used in connection
with the sport ...
"While it cannot be claimed for
hunting dogs that they have a very
extensive vocabulary, they under
stand enough words to go about
their work intelligently and at times
with precision that is little less than
marvelous. Tet dogs poodles, fox
terriers and animals of this kind
hare a more extensive vocabulary. !.
"An illustration of this is found
in a fox terrier belonging to the
manager of a well known theater,
terrier of royal lineage, having come
from the royal kennels at Budapest
"Few words ia cosnmon nse

of determining tbe accuracy of the

B. knew anything .about the plan
the pet dog was playfully palling at
his ear.
: ; "Hera was a rather intricate com
mand. It was not simply a eon
mand to so; it said how to g.
where to go, what to do and to
whom. Bnt the terrier understood
perfectly.
"How, here hi aog nanng an ex
traordinary vocabulary, under tand
inr. no doubt no fewer than 260
words. Thto one esse will show that
the pet dog has a wider understand
ing of words than dogs belonging
to any other class, ana mere m a
