Judge Belford's Dog.

The most noted dog in Colorado is
On English deer-hound, the property Of
Ex-Congressman James B. Belford.
He is known throughout the State as
Spot, having been the companion Of
Judge, Belford in most of his Con-
grossional campaigns. When Belford
was on the stump and got off some
thing good, Spot would raise q little
more noise about it than any OF the
other auditors. and would keep up
such protracted howl at times that
the crowd would join in giving his
master three cheers and a tiger. When
Bedford went to practice at the bar in
the morning, or to take something to
cheer him, Spot never failed to go
along and take his ibation in the
shape Of strong cocktail. He was
never known to get 'sof his pins" as
the saying is, although it was the de-
light Of the Judges constituents to
treat Spot with distingui shed consider
alton when the pair we:e making the
circuit in the campai! IN. He was
known to all the railrt 'ad men, and
would travel from Denv er or any 9th

Popular Medicine,

Popular medicine and hygiene ,.are
becoming everywhere the fashion. Pub
lie sentiment and action are aroused in
regard to all manner OF sanitary and
curative measures. When men of dis
tinction ate ill; the conditions of their
pulse, temperature, and respirations
are telegraphed all over the civilized
world, to be read at the breakfast-table
in the morning newspaper. Their
medicines and their doses are miautely
described; diagrams of the course of a
bullet, or startling pictures of micro
scopic sections of tumors, or views of
cholera-germs. appear in our daily pa
pers; and in the most popular family
magazines we read articles upon the
anatomy of the brain.' or chow to
trap a soil-pipe. We have q mother's
magazine devoted to Improvements il
baby-feeding and the scientific develop-
ment Of the infant mind. The book
stores abound in popular works upon
every medical topic, from the subject
of singers sore throats to the treat
ment of sea-sickness, consumption, or
the opiGm-habit. A great deal Of all
this, especially the newspaper medicine,
is fostered by maudlin craving for
every detail of that which is exciting
or horrible. 1t is to cater to the same
kind of feeling that newspapers de-
scribe how many Jumps of sugar a con-
denined murderer took in his coffee on
the morning of his hanging. The germ
theory, too, has given great impetus
to popular medicine. ).
:, The germ appeals to the average
mind: it is something tangible; il may
be hunted down, captured, ,collared, and
looked at through microscope, and
then, in all its varieties, it can be held
directly responsible for SO, much dam
age. There is, scarcely farmer in the
country who has not read the germ
theory. A cowboy in. Arizona was shot
dead in the saddle recently by a COM
rade for the insult implied by calling
him "d-d microbe'!
Still, a great deal Of this popular
medical talk and instruction is the OUT
come of an earnest desire TO- learn to
alleviate the growing evils Of heredity
and environment, especially il over
crowded cities. The Importance Of a
universal knowledge of, and attention
to, the laws Of physiology and hygiene
is becoming more and more ,apprecia-
ted, and the elements of these subjects
are taught in the public and private
schools.-Dr. " q. lhoa'.psoas, IN Pop
ular Science Monthly for September.

A new method of dressing wounds,

A new method of dressing wounds,
by which their healing is said to be
hastened and the pain made to disap-
pear at once, has been brought into no.
tice by French surgeon. 1t consists
in the application Of congresses wet
with a decoction Of thirty parts of val
erian root in 1000 parts OF water. 1t is
expressly stated that the treatment Is
OF no avail in deep wounds.
Pottery was discovered, Grant Allen

occurred to him to smear the outside

boiled, and upon removing the calabash
ne found it incased and protected BY q
hard, red, stone-like substance.

The '.Big Woods Of Minnesota well
deserves the name, for, they cover s.
GOO square miles, or 100000 asass Of
surface. These woods contain only
hardwood growths, including white
and black oak, maple, hickory, bass
wood, elm, cottonwood, tamarack, and
enough other varieties to make an az.
gregate of over fifty different kinds.
The hardwood tract extends in belt
across the middle Of the state, and sur.
rounding its Northeastern corner is an
immense pine region covering ,OOC
square miles, or Is, 40, 900 acres.
