He was not a thoroughbred, heightened

c. anon sense that would do credit to
man. the speaking animal. His name
was Pete. and for fourteen years he
was a member of the family of n. NJ.
Wright of East Hartlan6. He had a
good head on him for a dog. and many
Of his feats Of mind power, so to speak,
are traditions in the family. He knew
all the members of the family when
their various names were called and
would approach the mother or the aunt
Whenever told TO do so. and would never
make a mistake. One instance of Pete's
sagacity is worth no+ing as showing the
quality of the dog, says the Hartford
Courant. 1t was during the period Of
heavy snow and impossible roads i'm
mediately succeeding the March bliz-
zard of 1855. One of the members of the
FAMILY was away from home six miles
and a half and sick. There was no
way to get any word to or from her,
with the snow six to ten feet deep in
the roads. Pete was familiar with the
place where the sick person was and
how TO go there. He also appeared very
nervous and evidently missed the sick
one from the house. One day it oc-
CURED hat communication might be
established by Pete. A note was tied
about his neck and he was told to go
and find the sick one. He plunged into
the snow, made his way six miles and a
half, n each day for two weeks made
the same trip, varying scarcely a minute
from two hours and a half on any trip.
Well, Pete grew old. He was weak.

although he has shot many animals in
his capacity as agent for the Humane

company with a friend that had done
such faithful service and been SO worthy
a member of the family. So it hap
pened that one day his week Dwight
w. Thrall, the general agent of the So

called upon to perform the sad office.
Pete was sent across the Styx painless

His body was put in a new pine box
and he was accorded a decent burial;
and there We're real tears from those
who loved him.

CARBON IN RON.

Oxidation.
The opinion is expressed by a writer
in the Scientific American, in regard
to wrought iron being at the present
day III fashionable product in use by
civil engineers, of the growing impress
sion that too much faith has been placed
in 1.-THE tendency to it's use being a
species of reaction from the former days
of brittle materials-and like many 9TH
er reactions, probably carried too far.
The presence of carbon in iron, it is
remarked. not only affects the resistance
of iron to strains. but affects its re-
sistance to corrosion and oxidation, soft
iron acted on by the atmosphere in the
presence of moisture oxidizing, the car
bon dioxide of the air being probably &C

while inferior in textile strength to mod

for almost all purposes, and no one
that the steel members of a
building are to bend or twist, or even
to be subjected to strains which cast
iron would not perfectly resist. This
writer asserts that the recent extensive

The Government Stands Between the

In a recent report by Dr.. H. w. Wiley
ii is stated that in Germany h law
requires that the tins employed for hold
ing canned goods shall not contain more
than l per cent of lead, while in this
country there is no restriction what
ever in regard to the character of the
tin used, the result of this latter fact
being the employment Of cam in some
cases containing as high as IL per
cent of lead. This practice prevails,
Notwithstanding the unanimity among
Psychologists as 20 the effect Of lead
salts upon the human system, the con-
tinual ingestion of ever minute guam
titles of lead into the system being fol-
lowed, eventually, by the most serious
consequences-painters' collie, lead palsy
and other trying diseases well known
to physicians being the direct effects
of continual exposure of the system to
any such minute portions of lead salts.
1t is said TO be possible to exclude the
latter by requiring that the tin shall
not contain say more than IL per cent
of lead, also that the solder be as free
from lead as possible. In Germany, the
solder made use of in sealing the cans
is not allowed 10 contain over 10 per
cent of lead, while in this country the
analysis of numerous samples of the sol
der applied shows hat it contains fully
so per cent of lead-in addition to this
being the lack of care to prevent such
solder from coming into contact with
the contents Of the can, and large SUR
faces of solder on the seams are often
exposed to the action of the acid COM
tents of the can.
