Doc DAYs.-Now, the very first observa-
ton we have to make on this subject is that
there are no such days in the years calendar
az dog days" There are no days on which,
and there is no kind of weather during
which, dog is peculiarly liable to rabies.
Rabies is rare disease at all seasons of the
year, and there are no more cases of rabies
in July or August thau in December or Jan
uary. 1t follows, therefore, that there is no
more reason to dread bydrophobia from his
bite at one time of the year than at another.
The phrase "dog days" is false and mislead
ing phrase, which all humane persons ought
10 avoid in the interest of the dog Our

STRAws FROM KLoNDIKE.-Here is some
recent pews from the Yukon gold fields:
Live dogs are worth from 81 to SIS a
pound"
"A young fellow on the claim above me
PANIED out 5000 in two days"
ALEC Mcdonald took one pan from his
claim which tipped the scales at $780,"
"Dick Love is papning for living and is
taking out the modest sum of 800 day"
II shall be either millionaire or pauper
in the fall"
Every new conner in camp is offered big
wages, as high as $50 a day, but seldom will
one man work for another"
The strangest gold mines ever tapped are
those of the Yukon fields. In sinking shafts
and following veins in other parts of the
earth dynamite powder and blasting are
employed. On the Yukon the gold dust Is
frozen into gravel beds. The miners sink a
shaft building fire and thawing their way
down. AS fast as the dirt is thawed out
it is removed and the fire started lower
down in the earth. In this manner the men
dig down 10 or 90 feet to bed rock. The
gold is found in the gravel as 1t is thawed
out and washed in the miners pans.
