before bis wife's amazed eyes a golden

1 and rubles, the insignia of some Chi

I the face of the jade was the deep cut

I "l'ou were carrying It all the time,"
his wife added. "It must have been

What a mystery it all is!"
"Some one has palmed off incriminat

I son. "I'll write to Wayne in Shanghai
nnd see if there is any chance of find
ing the owner. If there isn't—well,
Mason & Co. will continue to do busi

Two months afterward came
Wayne's letter, from which I quote:
I "Impossible to trace. China has
turned over, yon know. Mandarins
have suicided, been assassinated and
others cashiered. Yon better keep It

"But I wouldn't go through the expe

Mason grimly.
Dwindling Captives.
Most creatures that have been tamed
by man have gained in size during
their long captivity, but there are sev
eral notable exceptions. The cat is
one. Our house pussy is a smaller and
far feebler thing than the wild cat
from which she Is descended. Sheep
and turkeys are other instances of de
generation. The wild gobbler Is con
siderably larger than the tame Thanks
giving bird. A full grown wild ram of
the Uockv mountain species seldom
weighs less than 300 pounds, and the
wild sheep of the old world are said to
be of equal size, while n tamo rani,
even of the mutton breeds, is doing
well if lie scales 200 pounds.—Chicago

Mr. Editor:
"But the poor dog, in life his
firmest friend—
The 'first to welcome, foremost to
defend;
Whose honest heart is all his mas
ter's own—
Wlio lives, breathes, dies !for him
alone."
From Byron's "Ode to a ' New
foundland Dog."
1 read with keen son ow your scant
obituary of-"Biscuit," the big yel
low dog, the property of Mr. Andy
Brown, and ask the privilege of
registering my own indignation that
th', faithful old 'animal, one of
Skagway's landmarks, should have
mot such an undeserved fate.1
Among his many sturdy qualities
cf head and heart was the 'fidelity
with which he guarded a little black
and white dog, his constant compan
ion, and the tie between them seem
ed almost human in its 'strength
and its tenderness. The big fel
low was "guide, philosopher and
friend" to his abbreviated canine
comrade, and the fealty was of no
"talr weather" stripe. When the
distress signal was out, "Biscuit"
was as the "shadow of 'a great
rock in a weary land'" to his petite
friend and he bore in his defense
the brunt of many a fierce com
bat that "had its origin ia an un
aruiablo propensity on the part of
his selfsame' "little friend" to
start something he could not fin
ish. With profound sagacity
"Biscuit" realized that he had
adopted a bunch of trouble,'but was
game to the end, accepting with
the fortitude of an ancient Stoic the
cards dealt him by a perverse fate,,
and his rugged old body carried
with it to an honorable grave the
scars of many a desperate fight
waged to prevent harm befalling
his lilliputian ward.
Such devotion is as rare as ' It
Is touching, and since "Biscuit's"
demise liis four-footed friend has
threaded the by-ways and high
ways of the town In quest 'of his
former protector with, an anxiety
and grief that is truly pathetic.'
Hot anyone, though he have in
his composition but a drop of the
milk of human kindness, could,
with malice a prepense, deliberate
ly poiscn such -a hero of thg "far
fiuug battle line," such a pictures
que figure, such an exemplar of
the rare quality of friendship, is
beyond ny comprehension. 1
I trust this stormy petrel of Al
aska, whose Napoleonic victories
over dog and porcupine made him
both a feared and respected fig
ure in the throbbing life of the
city as well as amid sylvan soli
tudes, will be -laid to rest beside
tb« Skagway river, whose turbulent
ener.«. best typifies j.ja own tem
pestuous career.
May I quota in conclusion ' the
words of the lata Senator Vest, of
Missouri, taken from his tribute to
a dog: '
"The one absolutely unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the 'ono that never
Voices of Animalf..
There is n chapter In the natural his
tory of nliimals thnt lias hardly been
touched upon as yet and that will be
especially Interesting with reference to
families. The voices of animals bavo
a family character not to bo mis
taken. All the cauidao bark and howl
—the to.z, the wolf, the dog—have the
same kind of utterances, though on a
somewhat different pitch. All the
bears growl, from the white bear to
the small black bear of the Andes.
All the cats meow, from our quiet tire
side companion to the lions and tigers
and panthers of the forest and jungle.
This last may seem a strange asser
tion, but to any one who hns listened
critically to their sounds and analyzed
their voices the roar of the lion is but
a gigantic meow, bearing about the
same proportion to that of n cat as its
stately and majestic form does to the
smaller, softer, more peaceful aspect
of the cat—Agnssiz.
Photo Enlarging Idea.
A simple enlarging machine may be
made of ail oak board seven-eighths of
an Inch thick, and a little wider than
the camera with which It is to bo
used. A box is built on one end of
the board, with an opening the size
of the camera In that side of the bos
which faces the other cud of the board.
A thirty-two candle power bulb backed
with a reflector is mounted in the bos
behind the opening. A slot la made In
the base!ward, running from the box
to the other end, and a moving up
right. with n block and sot screw run
ning in the slot is provided to hold the

an enlargement of a negative the plate
(or Aim inclosed between two pieces

Telling the Age of a Fish.
The ago of a fish can bo determined
with accuracy by inspection of the oto
liths, or bony concretions, which are
found iu the nuditory apparatus.
These otoliths increase in size during
the entire life of the fish, each year
adding two layers, a light colored layer
formed in summer and a dark layer
formed in autumn and winter. The
alternate layers are sharply contrasted
and very distinct, so that there is no
difficulty in counting them. The num
ber of pairs of layers Is equal to the
number of years tlie fi.sb has lived.—
Scientific American.
His Meanness.
"Why the dissatisfaction, girlie?"
"My husband has such a small In
come."
"You knew he had a small Income
when you married him."
"Yes, but I didn't think he'd be mean
enough to insist on my living within
it."—Kansas City Journal.

(Jrateful for This Information
If your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
If urinary troubles set in,
Perhaps you? kidneys are "in a
bad way."
Don't delay—use Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Here is good evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. Martha Kane, 102 Tait Ave.,
Los Gatos, Cal., says: "I had at
tacks of lumbago and sharp • pains
in my back for two years. Once
I was so bad that I fell while go
ing down stairs and for some time
was almost helpless with my back.
Doan's Kidney Pills acted as a
tonic to my system, strengthened
my kidneys and did me a great deal
of .rood in every way."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
