Thirty-sight Days without Food or Water.

How long may dog subsist without eth.
er food or water is a question likely to
arise after reading the following: On the
Sd Of January last, q gentleman resident on
Elm street lost a valuable dog Of the spaniel
breed. The animal was seen last by the
owners children, with whom it went out
some days after the dog was missed the loss
was advertised iu the daily papers, but moth
ing was heard Of the missing spaniel until
Saturday last In the forenoon of that day
the owners children went into an empty
house near by to amuse themselves. In the
course of play, one of them opened the door
ofa back room, when the missing dog was
found lying in one corner apparently dead
Ons closer inspection, however it was found
that the poor animal was still alive, although
reduced to little else than skin and bone,
Without delay the children had their favo-

ried home, alter which some nourishment
was given to it, and before many hours it
had 30 far recovered "a to be able to crawl
The disappearance of the dog is now ac-
counted for. On the day when it WAS los.
the children had happened to be playing in
the same empty house, and they must in
leaving, have accidentally shut him in aud
gone and left him. From that day until
last Saturday nobody had been in the ernpty
house, and there the dog had been for
thirty-eight days without either food or
water. To make sure that there was no
source from which she animal could have
had sustenance, the owner paid visit to til,
house, and satisfied himself, after careful
scrutiny, that there had been no food o.
water within reach. At the time the do.
was imprisoned it was very fat, which had
no doubt, much to do with the fact of it
having lived so long, Toronto Globe.
