BlsMARK's FINE DOCS.
The Great Prince Has Always Kept Sup
DIV of These Animals.

In Germany, as on the continent gen.
orally, the dogs used for hunting large
game. the boar included, are varieties
of the German or Ulmer mastif or
"dogge." and very noble animals they
are. albeit of mixed parentage, and IL
is now over fifty years ago that her
majesty, the queen, accepted from the
duke of Buccleugh Saxon boar dog,
called Nelson, and imported by LORD
John Scott from Saxony by that name.
And in fine painting (by Merely, l
think.) of a group of the queens dogs,
Nelson appears as a rough-coated, bad
ly cropped mastiff, of such proportions
that, a Scotch terrier, in the same pic
ture, looks as if it was altogether no
larger than Nelson's head.
This fine animal was the contempt
rary of young Bismark's first hound,
the terror of the peasantry around
Kniephoff, where the parents lived
This dog afterward accompanied his
Young master to the University of Got
tingen, where. we are told, he speedily
made his mark. Once, when BismarK
was summoned to appear before the
rector for throwing bottle out OF MS
window, he took his enormous hound
with him, to the great dismay OF the
reverend dignitary. who promptly
found refuge behind high-packeo
chair. where he remained until the
hound had been sent out of the room.
Bismark was fined thalers for brlng-
ing this terrific beast into the rec
tors sanctum, in addition to the pun
ishment melted out for throwing the
bottle.
And for the sixtyodd years that
have elapsed since then Bismark mas
never been without one or more OF
these huge cross-bred mastiffs as MS
companion or guard. AS law student
and official at Berlin, during his trav-
els in many lands, throughout his d.
plomatic career at Frankfort, st. Pet-
ersburg, Paris and elsewhere, as well
as at Varzi and Friedrichsruhe, Bis
mark has always had the companion
shin of one or more of his favorite
dogs. Probably the one to which he
was most attached was Sultan, VINO
died at Varzin in 1871. Tyras-the
famous dog of the empire-which was
of unusual size and of the slate color
| most popular in Germany, was then
quite young dog, and it was the con-
| slant companion of it's illustrious own
or till the time of it's death, sharing
his walks. his rides, his business and
his meals, and keeping guard IN MS
bedroom at night.-Good WORDS.

In Ratibar, Silesia, Germany, there
Is a tree which has been trained to
form two rooms. 1t grows upon the
banks of the River Oder. 1t is maple
over 100 years old. q,
The trunk rises from the ground
much like that of any other maple, but
a fight of steps leads to the first level,
where the branches have been gradually
woven together until firm floor has
been made. Above this is a second
door, smaller in diameter and formed
in the same way. Around each floor
the branches have been woven into
solid walls, making two circular rooms.
Each of these rooms is lighted by eight
windows, which are cut through the
walls of branches and foliage.

Fatality From Anaesthesia.

The consensus of opinion among Eu-
ropean physicians of eminence as to
the comparative fatality attending the
use of chloroform and ether, and the
specific characteristics of each, in
practice, may be expressed thus: First
The use of any anaesthesia is attend
ed with an appreciate risk, and no
care will prevent an occasional loss
of life. Second = Chloroform acts
much more promptly and much more
powerfully than ether, both upon the
respiratory centers and the heart.
Third-The action of chloroiorm is
much more persistent and permanent
than that of ether Fourth--Chloro-
form is capable of causing death either
by primarily arresting the respiration
or by primarily stopping the heart, but
commonly both respiration and car
diac functions are abolished at or
about the same time. Fifth-Ether
usually acts very much more power
fully upon the respiration than upon
the circulation, though occasionally,
and especially when the heart is fee
BILE, ether is capable of acting as a
cardiac paralyzant, and may produce
death by cardiac arrest at time when
the respirations are fully maintained.
Sixth-Chloroform kills, as near as
can be made out, proportionately, four
or five times as frequently as does
ether. 1t is regarded, finally, as doubt
full whether one-third of the deaths
from anaesthesia are reported.-New

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE. THURSDAY, OCT. "a
A CHOICE OF MAYOR.

A responsibility rests upon the city
council which seldom falls to the lot
OF such a body more than once during
one term. The present members made
selection on behalf OF the people some
thing more than year ago. and with
in a few months of general election
they are called upon for the second
time to fiji vacancy in the highest
Office In the city.
When the council decided that 1t
would make another selection IL had
no doubt fully considered the inevita-
bic consequences OF the act. The mem
bers will doubtless be equally delibera-
tive In the exigency which confronts
them.
The people OF the city know what
they want: they have long since made
up their minds that they must have
man OF high character and broad
views. They have made IL very mani
fest that they desire no extremes In
municipal policy. They realize that
much OF the prosperity OF this city will
depend upon having man who is SUI
