-Four Miles Ahead.

With hopes and with fears we sent them forth,
And they wintered there in the frozen north
Two winters they spent in the arctic zone,
Where slowly they persisted, and one by one;
But surely we ought to be well content,
As toward the pole our explorers went,
And they marked the exploration line
-Four miles ahead.
OH. but the record is wondrous Gne,
With nineteen dead.
How many is that to the mile? Hold on
The record is made and the work is done.
Though most of them persisted along the track,
We ought to be thankful that six came back.
OF course we must count upon toll and pain:
But think of the record, and think of the gainl
We have passed beyond the British mark,
-Four miles ahead
And here and yonder are, cold and stark,
Our nineteen dead.
Where's the man who made the markg
Turn over the leaf-that page is dark.
He made it-that's glory enough for him,
Though cold is his flesh and his eyes are dim.
Some lives must be offered for such a gain;
And think on our right to be proud and vain.
He has planted our flag on the northward track
-Four miles ahead
We'll, let US be thankful that six came back,
And God help the dead!

How They Have Prevented the Printing of

Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, July 2L-For years it has been
the custom for heads of divisions and chiefs of
bureaus to submit annual reports to the heads
of departments relating to the work Of the differ
subdivisions and bureaus, together with informar
ton of more or less value to the public. These
reports have been printed and published at gov
eminent expense and distributed by the depart
ments and by Congress. Among these reports
have been some documents of great value to the
student of science, finance, metallurgy, etc. This
year a clause was added to the sundry civil bill
which directs that all these reports which are
not absolutely essential for the conduct of
public business shall be cut off the list to be
printed. The clause was added by the trio of
professional economists who pose as watch
dogs of the Treasury" guardians of the public
purse and "wardens who prevent Republicans
from stealing" These men, it should be remem
bered, were party to the defeat of the Sen
undeliyered speech should be printed at public
expense. They are men who believe it is more
economical to waste $4,000 in printing their
own partisan speeches (which have never been
heard on the floor of Congressl than TO expend
1000 in publishing valuable accurate informa-
ton regarding public affairs. Among the docu-
ments which have been invaluable to medical
men and sanitary officers in the past were the
annual reports of the Surgeon-general of the
Marine Hospital service. These volumes have
heretofore contained the results Of intricate re-
search into the origin of, cause and remedy for
contagious and infectious diseases, and have
been the means of disseminating information
which has undoubtedly led to the prevention Of
the spread of yellow fever and similar plaques.
This year the report will be confined to a small
pamphlet of a dozen pages, filed with dry sta
tistics of the number of sailors treated at ma
rine hospitals and the cost Of the same. Not a
word more. This is the Democratic idea of
economy.

THE DOG SURVIVED.
Bitten by Rattlesnakes, 1t Buries Itself in
Swamp Mud and Gets Well.

WILLIAMsPoRT. July 2I.-John Davis and
George Miller drove from Collomsville to this
city, on Monday. When they were crossing
the mountain at a place known as the Old
Hermits, a valuable coach.dog, which accom-
panied them, ran off into the woods. Soon after
ward they heard him yelping III a peculiar man
ner. Both men jumped from the wagon and
hurried in the direction Of the cries. They
came in sight of the dog in a small hollow, and
found him in a fight with several rattlesnakes,
which surrounded him on q large fat rock, and
struck him from every side. Miller and Davis
each seized a long club and went to the dogs
assistance. They killed eleven rattlesnakes
and many others escaped among the rocks.
The largest one was four feet long, and had
seventeen rattles.
While the men were busy cutting off the rat
ties of the snakes they had slain Miller was
overcome BY the peculiarly offensive odor that
characterizes rattlesnskes, and Davis was
Obliged to help him away from the spot. It
was several minutes before he recovered from
the effects of the poisoned air. The dog was
nowhere to be seen. Davis went hack into the
woods to look for him. In passing by the spot
where the snakes had been killed, he saw a
uliO u v OlOo WtHCA 1lftu COIu0 OuU VI
their holes among the rocks, gliding around
their dead companions, springing their r%attles,
and every motion d~enoting fury. Davis beat
a retreat. and went off in another direction,
calling his dog. Suddenly he came upon the
dog with its body embedded in a mire hole in
a swampy spot. Its head alone was above the
surface. Dogs bitten by rattlesnakes instinc-
lively seek such places and bury themselves in
the mud. Old snake hunters say that if a dog is
able to find swamp mud and cover himself with
it, it will invariably draw out the poison. Davis
left his dog in the swamp, and drove on to this
city with Miller. Last evening the dog arrived
home, apparently none the worse for its en-
counter with the venomous reptiles, although it
must have been bitten by them many times.
The spot where the snakes were killed is a
famous rattlesnake den. A hermit, known as
'"Twoline,p lived in a hut near the den for many
years, and killed scores of its inmates annually,
frying out the oil and selling it to people, who
came long distances to obtain it, the belief in its
efficacy as an ointment being universal in that
neighborhood.

PETRoLEUM NOT INJURIOUS.
People Who Handle the Crude Oil Enjoy
Excellent Health.

xxi
WASHINGTON, July 2L-Surgeon-general
Hamilton. Of the Marine Hospital service, has
made a report to the Secretary of the Treasury
in regard to the alleged injurious effects of the
fumes of petroleum on the health of persons
employed in handling that article. TIL ques-
ton arose on a complaint Of employees at Malta,
who struck for higher wages on the ground that
their employment was detrimental to health.
The consul at Malta reported the matter to the
Department Of State, and it was subsequently
referred to DR.. Hamilton for investiga-
ton and report. He investigated thor
oughly, and states as his conclusion
that there is not the slightest danger to health
from handling petroleum, and that there never
was any foundation for a contrary opinion. His
views on the subject are based on a report from
Surgeon Il. w. Satell, of the Marine Hospital
service, who was specially detailed to examine
the physical condition of the employees of an oil
company and report DIR. 7. B. Gillette, who is
connected with an oil company, says the men
who manage the stills and are constantly in
haling the fumes Of the fresh product have
never been known to suffer from sickness on
that account, and are as healthy as people in
any other business.

A Frail and Delicate Man Who Possesses In

A Frail and Delicate Man Who Possesses In
domitable Pluck.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The rescue of a
remnant Of the Greedy party and the recovery
of the bodies of those who persisted of starva-
ton has continued to be the chief topic of con
versation here, both in official and lay circles.
The officers Of the expedition, and most of the
men, were we'll known in this city, and many Of
them have relatives residing here. That Lieu
tenant Greedy should have survived so many Of
his physically superior companions is a cause for
much establishment among his comrades and
friends, as he is described as being the most
delicate of the party, and the one above all 9TH
ers who would naturally be expected to first
suceumb to the hardships which the party has
encountered since leaving Fort Conger. A navy
officer, who was a warm personal friend of
Lieutenant Greedy, says that, undoubtedly, that
gallant officer owes his life to his indomitable
pluck and the vigor which he always devoted to
any task which devolved upon him to perform.
AS an instance of this pluck the following
anecdote of Greely's boyhood was related: when
a little boy, not more than ten years old, Greedy
visited an uncle on his farm in Vermont.
One day the uncle had occasion to use
the grindstone which may be found in every
New England door-yard, and loosely offered the
boy five cents if he would turn the handle for
two hours. The offer was accepted, and the
little fellow began to turn the handle. In less
than half an hour the perspiration poured off
from him in streams; fifteen minutes more
elapsed, and the tears began to mingle with the
sweat of his brow, but he still turned away
manfully. Then the uncle told him to stop, that
he had turned enough, and could have the five
cents without more work, But the boy declined
to stop. and worked away, although crying with
fatigue. He stuck to that grindstone until the
two hours were up, and was laid up for some
days afterwards. But he accomplished the task
set, and earned the compensation. OF course"
continued the narrator. Il was not with him on
this trip, but knowing the man as I do, l do not
hesitate to say that he made up his mind to sur
mount the obstacles and bring his party through,
and that it was his mental superiority that
proved of more value to him than the physical
strength did to the unfortunate seventeen
