Fntering Drinking Water

Boiling sterilizes water, and within
thirty minutes will have killed harmful

The King of Dogs.

A dispatch from Boston announces the
death from heart disease of mastif dog
owned by Mr.. K. H. Moore, of Melrose,
Mass.
The owners of the thousand and one
mongrels which masquerade under the
noble name of dog in this part of the
country, will be at a loss TO understand
why the Associated Press should burden
the wires With so insignificant matter
as the death Of a dog. But few if any of
the numerous items which are printed
from the various parts OF the compass
today are of more Importance.
The dog in question says an exchange,
was the noted champion, Mtntirg, four
years old, purchased in England by Mr..
Moore for fabulous sum. He he's re-
fused an offer of $4,000 cash for him,
aud valued him at $4,000. Another
mastiff, which also recently died at Mr.
Moors's place in Melrose, was famous
among lovers of the dog as llford eau
ton, and WAS valued at $4,000.
These superb animals, when we'll bred,
are some thirty-twO or thirty-four
inches high at the fore shoulder and
weigh in the ueighborhood ~ $50 pounds.
Trained for centuries to guard the life
property OF man, they seem to have &C
qured a sense OF property. They have
the faculty of Distinguishing between

NAL kingdom the place an honest man is
supposed to fill in the higher sphere, that
of "the noblest work of Cos Conscious
OF their vast strength, they are not
tyrants, "to use it like a giant" thus dis
playing another nObls quality so much
esteemed yet so seldom found in man.
Gentle with weak, yet never cruel even in
combat, except under great provooatlon,
the mastiff ia the king of his kind and
not a bad model for his masters. IT is 3
pity they are not better known and more
generally bred.

NEARLY LOST A SPONGE

and the Patient Probably Had No Use for II
Whatever
AbsentmIndedness Is less excussble in
doctor then in any one else. The fol-
lowing story from the New York Mercury
shows how lady physician came near
losing 65-ceRt sponge through this very
failing. The patient was girl under
treatment for tumor in the stomach.
After several months of fruitless medical
treatment the female physician in charge
decided to resort TO the knife. Accord
ingly the victim was placed under the
influence of ar es' hetics, laid out on q
slab in the presence of mum erous doctors
ard nurses Of the female persuasion, and
the carving began. The maiden was
opened in scientific style and me tumor
successfully removed, as were also several
large antisepIc sponges which had been
placed in the abdominal cavity TO absorb
the blood during the operation.
Then he incisiou was neatly stitched
with silver wire, the boss surgeon had
rolled down her sleeves and was receiving
congratulations, when young dootrcss,
who had taken the precRution to count
the sponges before and after using,
suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, doctor, you
have left sponge inside the patient"
At first the doctor secuted the idea that
she could possibly make such a blunder,
but one of the sponges was missing,
which a careful search OF the room failed
to discover, thought perhaps it might
have got lost in the shuttle. Tn. stitches
were removed, and sure enough there lay
sponge as big az a half grown mud
turtle snugly reposing among the Latin
arrangements of the yourg woman. The
sponge was rescued, and the surgeon was
sewing the girl together again she calmly
remarked: "I'm glad my attention was
called to the matter, as that sponge lie

AN INTERESTING CRUISE

Ex-Governor A. p. SwiLeford, late
governor Of Alaska, is giving in the Sun
day edition of the Detroit Free Press
an account of "The Cruise Of the Thetis, ,
or Ten Thousand Miles along the Coast
and among the Islands of Alaska" 1t Is
captivating account OF the governors
tourney along the coast Of shat vast and
wonderful region. To illustrate the
habits of the natives, whom he fouad at
Karluk, a fishing station on kadiak
island, one of the numerous islands along
that wonderful coast, he says: They are
iuordinately fond of whisky, the quality
of which they Judge by the amount of
medication il will effect, and the nearer
f. approaches to hell-hre the better they
like it. They will pay or pawn almost
anything they possess for enough Of the
West liquor on earth to produce one
good, solid drunk, and when they can not
buy the article direct, they make for
themselves yiliainous kind OF beer
called 'gnass,' from sugar and -four, and
which Ia further distilled into a sort Of
whiskey which is warranted to knock a
white man silly at : distance OF more
than forty rods | found some OF
them drunk, and on inquiry vas told
that there had been late brewing OF
'gnass,' and that both the stores sold

quantity TO indulge in an occasional
