hundreds Of years as an epidemic pesti-

persons advanced in years The NOR

The main predisposing cause of typhus
is low health rate. Where population
is dense and sanitary conditions are bad
the danger is greatest and these condi-
tons obtain not only in crowded cities
but in armies afeld, in prisons, and
wherever human beings are packed

why the Dor IA Thar.

An express wagon passed by. On
the end of the seat where the driver
was there was painted the picture of
dog guarding safe. One man on
the corner asked his friend why a
dogs picture was nearly always on or
near the picture of safe. Then he
told him. A long time ago the safe
was nothing more than an iron box.
It had none of the scientific attach
ments which one sees in banks and
business houses to-day. The Key Of
the great box was generally as heavy
as the box. That is in proportion. 1t
was sometimes used as a weapon As
the iron boxes had no security but
the ordinary locks, bankers took TO
leaving dogs tied to the boxes at
night Then it was found necessary
to have the dogs trained. This the
bankers did not always have time to
do, even if they had known how.
The result was that the manufacture
ers took to dog farming These dogs
were trained in the business OF guard
ing the iron boxes, and NJ one time il
was the custom Tor the manufacturer
to furnish a dog with each safe. And
the two became inSeparablc. That
is why you see the picture of a dog so
often wherever you see the picture Of
d safe. And that is also why you sec

HUNTING THE ELK.
Royal sport in the Picturesque vsiisys Of
the Faf West

Here is a specimen story, By war OF
| illustrating the sport to be enjoyed BY
hunters in the territory contiguous to
Port Crescent:
William Ginger, who lives about five
miles above Beaver prairie, on the
Soleduck River, took his rife from
the cedar pegs over the door on which
it rested and meandered forth to Stay
or be slain. In Mr.. Ginger the In
stinct Of the huntsman is largely de-
yeloped, and he shifted sport In the
air that morning-and then he 'ssaw
signs too, that convinced him that
there was what the picturesque
Georgian would call coolies" of elk
in his immediate neighborhood. The
mountains that form the background
for Mr.. Ginger's homestead had been
covered with snow for several days,
and more snow, and considerable of
it, had fallen on the range the previ-
Gus evening and the air was deliciously
crisp.
There were tracks elk tracks, and
fresh ones, too-all about, aud it
wasn't long until the eager Mr. Gin
ger had struck the trail of what he
knew must be big band of the game
he was after. He had gone but a few
miles when he caught sight of band
of elk numbering thirty-1ye, and to
his infinite delight they were slowly
passing through little open valley
but a short distance ahead OF him,
feeding as they went; and all uhsuss
pecting that raIicher with d rife
had camped on their trail.
Here was Gunner Ginger's inning,
and he knew what to do with it:
Making detour he struck in at a
point a considerable distance ahead of
the band-one that the elks would
have to pass as they headed for the
mountains.
On they ambled gently, while Gin
ger, his heart in his mouth and his
rifle at his shoulder, awaited their ap-

big, noble fellow, with Gil the pride
of his brief tailed race centered In his
antler adorned head, came Within

His death struggle was dramatic

A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.

All the brave deeds done in this world
are not performed by big, grown-up peo-
pie. Children often distinguish them
selves by acts of self-sacrifice and hero
ism chat place them high up among
those whom we cal the worlds heroes,
and TO whom all honor should be given.
A notable example of this class of young
folks is found In the person of Mis-.
Marion Beverly, of Norwich, England.
This little lady is only fifteen years old,
but she has already won q testimonial
from the Royal Humane Society at Loh-
don for an act Of heroism that would have
done credit to one of much older years.
The circumstances were as fol-
lows: Tho mas b. Cross, lad
of ten years was bathing in
the sea at Overstrand near
Cromor, and being, as many boys are, of
n venturesome disposition, got beyond his
depth, Miss Beverly, who was in bath
ing at the sane time, saw the youth 5
danger and promptly swan to his rescue.
She reached him as ho was sinking for
the second time and after much difficulty
got him ashore and saved his life. Her
noble performance was brought to the
attention of the humane society, which
promptly presented her with the testi-
monial as stated. Instead of medal,
however, the little miss was given hand
some vellum album, it being the custom
of this society to bestow book Of this
kind in lieu of the medals usually used.

FAMOUS DOCS

A French pa 'er, tho Petit Journal;
has published roll of honor of oele-
bratel dogs which have distinguished
themselves in war. This is not map
propriate, considering that the dog has
been pressed into military service. For
instance, there was Bob, the mastiF of
the Grenadier Guards, which made the
Crimean campaign with that gallant
corps; and also White-paw, "Patte
Blanche" a brave French ally Of Bob,
that made the same campaign with tile
10th of the line, and was wounded in
defending the flag. Another, Moustache,
was entered on tho strength of his regi-
ment as entitled to grenadier's rations.
The barber of his company had orders
TO clip and comb him once week. This
gallant animal received bayonet thrust
at Marengo, and recovered flag at Aus
terlitz Matshal Lannes had Nous
tache decorated with medal attached
to his heck with q red ribbon. Corps
de Garde, marvel among dogs,
followed soldier to Marengo,
was wounded at Austerlitz, and persisted
in the retreat from Russia. The Sixth
of the Guard had military mastiff
named Misere, which wore three white
stripes sewn on his black hair. We
have also to name Pompon of the Forty
eighth Bedouins, the best sentry of the
baggage train; Loutonte, Cfimeau
heroine; MltfaiIle, killed at fnkprnian
by shell; Moffino, that saved his MAJ
ter in Russia, and was lost or lost him
self, but found his way along from Mos
COW to Milan, his first dwelling place.
The most remarkable, however, was the
last an English barrier named Mustaphs,
which went into action with his English
comrades at Fontenoy, and, we are
seriously told, remained alone by u
field piece after the death of the gunner,
his master, clapped the match to the
touch-hole of the cannon, and thus killed
seventy soldiers and is further added
that Mustapha was presented to King
George Ii. and rewarded with pension
