The Dog Answered.

The steamer Forest Queen, Sunday, had an excursion party from Biddeford on board, and at the request of some of the excursionists Capt. Oliver ran out by Wood Island. As he passed the light he saluted it with the customary three whistles. Scarcely had the echoes died away when a dog dashed out of the lighthouse and ran at full speed toward the fog bell. He was followed by a man. It Is needless to say that the dog arrived at the bell first, and lie Immediately began to jump into the air as though trying to reach something. Wihen the man arrived on the spot it was readily seem what the trouble was. The bell rope was hung upon a nail and the dog could not reach it. However, as soon as the man removed the rope from the nail the dog seized It in his teeth, and with a great deal of apparent satisfaction answered the steamer’s salute. The dog knows his business, and never fails to return a steamer's salute.—Daily Eastern Argus. A gentleman from Boston writes: "Five brothers and sisters all brought up on Ridge's Food, one uncle saved from the grave, and now my own children are bf course introduced to it. One 18 months old, as fat and hearty as any in the land, the other, five weeks old, has gained 2% pounds since birth. There is no substitute for Ridge's Food.” The earliest cap was probably composed of the skin of the head of an animal, worn with the hair outside, nose and ears protruding. This form of cap has been depicted on many ancient monuments. Dandruff forms when the glands of the skin are weakened, and if neglected, baldness is sure to follow. Hall’s Hair Renewer is the best preventive.
