serve in the marine corps until 81,
when they are hohorably discharged.
While serving on men-of-war they
swing in hammocks and mess with the
marine guard, and in all respects are
treated as if they are men; in action
they serve at the great guns as powder
boys-"powder-monkeys" as they are
sometimes called. The duty of pow
der-boy is to pass charges from the
magazine to the battery.
Drummers are distinguished from the
private soldiers of the marine guard in
full-dress uniform by a scarlet tunic
with white facing and shoulder knots
the only dress in our service like the
traditional red coat of Tommy At
kins," the British soldier, which has
been worn by the army for nearly 800
years. As joke upon this distinctive
ly un-American uniform, it is related
that when the British were seen up
preaching Bladensburg, during the
war of 1912, a wag in the American
ranks shouted: Great Scottl boys,
here comes the music. I guess won't
wait for the army!"

to Papillon relates that he heard the
dog give vent TO various patriotic cries,
such as "Vive l'armee! Vive la France!"
and "Vive le president de la repub-

departure thewords "Adieu, monsieur"
were politely uttered. It had occurred
to him that ventriloquism might have

there was positively no deception. Pa

MAKE THEMSELVES USEFUL.
Dogs Perform Many Services for the
Miners in Frozen Alaska.

Dogs Perform Many Services for the
Miners in Frozen Alaska.
Dogs have suddenly become more
valuable than horses in this section of
the northwest. This state of affairs
results from the great and growing de-
mand for dogs to be used in hauling
sledges in the Yukon country, Alaska.
While thousands of horses for which
their owners cannot get three dollars a
head are roaming over the plains of
eastern Washington and Oregon, good
sized dogs are bringing from SIS to $50
each in the local market. AT Juneau
their value is double what it is here,
and on the Yukon river good dog
brings from 500 to $3.50. To the Yukon
miner the dog has become what the
reindeer is to the Laplander and the
pony to the cowboys of Texas and
Mexico-a beast of service and a most
valuable one.
Every steamer sailing for Alaska for
three months past has borne north
ward several dozen dogs destined for
service in front of heavily laden
sledges. They are taken, by boat to
Dyea, at the head of salt water naviga-
ton, and there put into harness to assist
in hauling outfits and supplies over the
Chilkoot pass and down the farther
slope to the series Of fresh water lakes
forming the headwaters of the Yukon's
tributaries. Up TO May, when the ice
breaks up, dog teams slide over the
smooth surface of the lakes with sur
prising rapidTty, considering the loads
they haul. There are portages to be
made around dangerous rapids, and
here again their services are invaluable.
Arriving at the central parts, such as
Forty Mile or Circle City, both men and
dogs are put into harness again for the
trip to the diggings.
The sledge dogs are too valuable not
to be web taken care of where that is
possible. Their owners first thought
in this respect is to obtain plenty of
food for them. Their food consists
principally of fish, usually salmon,
caught in the Yukon river by the ma
tives. An ordinary dog will eat daily
two pounds of dried salmon, which
equals seven pounds of fresh fish. At
Forty Mile last winter dried salmon
sold at from 20 to so cents pound, and
bacon that was fit only for dogs to eat
sold for 371s cents pound. In some of
the larger camps on the Yukon dog
boarding houses have been established,
where the animals are properly cared
for ait from six to fifteen dollars a
month, according to the season and the
price of dog food.-Forest and Stream.

BABY INCUBATORS.
Model System of Treatment for Weak
and SIckly Infants.

Model System of Treatment for Weak
and Sickly Infants.
A model institution for treatment of
weakly infants was opened for private
inspection at the Victoria era exhibit
ton 1t is divided into three sections.
One for the Offices of the medical men
and nurses in charge, nefor a nursery,
and in the central room are the nickel
plated and plate-glass incubators in
which infants are laid ON little white
coverlets, placed upon wire hammocks.
Before entering these, through pipe
four inches in diameter, air is mois-
tened by passing through sheet of
antiseptic absorbent wool. 1t then
passes through dry WOOL which re-
tains the SCOT and impurities of the at
mosphere. The air then traverses am
other pipe to the center of the incu,
bator. On this orifce is disk for uni
formly distributing the air; above all
lisa chimney with revolving fam, which
forces exhausted air to escape. Uni-
form heating is produced from an ex-
ternal boiler, circulation being effected
by a copper pipe leading under the
hammock. A thermostat ON the wall
Is connected with chain which sus-
ponds an aluminium cone lid over the
lamp of the boiler, and its expansions
and coutractions automatically con-
troll the temperature to the degree to
which the apparatus is set. A Their
mometer and hygrometer inside the
glass door indicates respectively the
temperature and moisture of the air
within. The capacity of the handsome
little incubators is less than cubic
yard.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Mi.speIIing a Historic Name.

Through the blunder of some un.

glaring piece of inexcusably poor SPELL

mittee room in the city hall, and is the
subject of much unfavorable comment
by historical scholars. The portrait of
Rev. Henry Augustus MuhlenIberg hung
for many years in Independence hall
as tribute to the preacher-patriot's
services during the revolution, with his
name beneath it spelled ''Henery Null

are now visible in the city hall. Rev.
Henry Augustus Muhlenburg was one
of the first Lutheran ministers in this
country. On one occasion he carried a
gun into his pulpit at Reading, and at
the conclusion of the services invited
all his male parishioners to follow him
to Valley Forge, which they did. DIR.

SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL.

On Friday evening Henry Hubert
was given a hearing before Alderman
Johns charged with pointing firearms
Thomas J. Davies preferred the charge
and alleged that Hubert had discharged
his gun to the personal danger of Mrs.
Whitehouse All the parties concerned
are residents of Frink street. The al
legged shooting occurred Friday after
noon. The men were in lot adjoining
Mrs. Whitehouses property and had
just returned from the woods. Mrs.
Whitehouse came out of her house and
was in the act of going down an out
side cellar way, when she was struck
by something and the small shot rat
tied against the house. The gun held
by Hubert had been discharged and the
slug had struck Mrs. Whitehouse,
though no harm was done. At the
hearing Hubert pleaded accidental dis
charge of his weapon and an amicable
agreement was arrived at.
