TENDENCY OF DOGS TO FIGHT.
Give the Laplanders Much Trouble When
ever their Teams Meet.

Give the Laplanders Much Trouble When
ever heir Teams Meet.
In the country where dogs are used
for draught purposes it requires GER
tain amount of skill on the part of
the drivers to get two teams past
one another In Labrador whenever
two teams meet they try to stop and
fight.
The dogs which are used for trac-
ton are extremely ferocious by nature,
and their tempers are in no wise i'm
proved by the state of semi-starva-
ton in which they live. During the
summer time they get nothing from
their masters and have to pick up a
living for themselves as best they can,
says the Chicago Times. This is no
easy task, and any leather straps or
old boots that may be found lying
about are eagerly swallowed.
In the winter they are supplied with
salt fish for breakfast and likewise for
supper, and this unpleasant diet does
not tend to reduce the combative
spirit within them. And, therefore,
if two sleighs chance to meet in nine
cases out of ten the dogs fall upon
one another with the most complete
disregard for the cries of their mas
tiers or the cuts of the cruel, long
dashed whips.
The result of forty dogs all falling
on oneanother at the same time NAV be
imagined. Over 60 the sledges, out
tumble the drivers, and anything else
they may have behind them. AS a
rule a few minutes struggling will
find all the dogs SO entangled that
they cannot move.
1t should be borne in mind that
every dog has his own particular trace,
to one end of which he is attached and
to the other the sleigh. These traces
of course vary in length according to
the wearer's position i'm the team, and
the leader is often fifty feet away from
the wheeler.
The consequence is that in short
time dogs and sleighs get wound up in
an intricate tangle and it takes the
drivers long time to unravel each
dog and prevent him renewing the
onslaught the moment he is free.
To prevent the dogs fighting in the
night the owners have devised a
clever kennel which stops any little
disturbances of that kind. All dogs
stand on their hind legs to fight, SO
that they have their fore feet. for
wrestling purposes. The kennels are
made so low that this little maneuver
is impossible, and fighting therefore
lis out of the question. ,.

Here are four of the most famous
labyrinths of the world. 1t was Gus
tomary during the middle ages to in

tain cathedrals labyrinth of black
and white stone or colored tiles.
These labyrinths We're known as
..Roads of Jerusalem" owing, it is
probable, to the fact that worshipers
were accustomed to traverse the sharp
stones of the maze upon their knees in
memory of the journey of Christ from
Jerusalem to Calvary.
That of the cathedral of Sens is OF
circular form and incased in lead. II
measured sixty-eight feet across, and
the length of the circuit, which took
an hour to traverse, was over mile
and half.
The labyrinth of st. Owen was
formed of blue and yellow tiles and
measured three quarters of a mile.
That of st. Quentin was taken away

Why the children were not taker

The labyrinth of Bayeux is of black
squares bearing yellow griffins, roses
and armorial bearings, which make il

DIR. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eighf per cent of all
cases of Consumption, In all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed TO be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, III all its
earlier stages, consumption il a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-.
ceRfdgc Of cases, and we believe, /hiiD %
per- cent are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as TO induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious cSpectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter, great loss OF ileSh
and extreme enaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it, They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever Isl mis-
representing them and WHO were often
strongly preiudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but WHO have been forced TO confess that
II surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emissions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed 10 bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, wiiskey
and various preparations Of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain

lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal

Scientists predict that in a century there
will be no disease not durable.

In recent article on Coffee and
Cocoa, the eminent German Chemist,
Professor Stutzer, speaking of the
Dutch process of preparing Cocoa by
the addition of potash, and of the pro-
cess common in Germany in which
ammonia is added, says: "The only re-
suit of these processes is to make the
liquid appear turbid to the eye of the
consumer, without effecting real
solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose
of so-called solubility is, therefore,
more or less inspired by deception,
and always takes place at the
cost of purity, pleasant taste,
useful action, and aromatic flavor.
The treatment of Cocoa by such chem
ical means is entirely Objectionable. :.
Cocoa treated with potash or
ammonia would be entirely unstable
but for the supplementary addition of
artificial favors by which poor sub
stitute for the aroma driven out into
the air is offered to the consumer"
The delicious Breakfast Cocoa made by
WALTER BAKER & Co., of Dorchester,
Mass, is absolutely pure and soluble.
No chemicals, or dyes, or artificial fla
vors are used in it.
