HUSKiES OF THE NORTH.
The Dogs Half woli Half Collie, Used for Slsdglng In
Alaska.

Alaska
DR.. Alex. Gale, who has Just returned to
his home in New York City from a two
years visit to the gold fields Of British
America, describes the Alaskan dogs (the
"huskieS') Of that country as the only
objects that to any degree meet the expecta-
tions of the traveller or command his respect.
Everything else wanes as one advances
northward and the mercury sinks" said
DR.. Gale. Tho whole land is a great,
silent waste. In Winter it is submerged
in &5now, and in Summer a deep sponge
like moss, the lair of untold billions of vo-
racious mosquitoes, lies over all, like a
witchs blanket. But the huskies are a
joy forever. They are great, vigorous
fellows, half wolf, and weigh 100 pounds
often. They are cheerful and playful, too,
and live on one meal day, given them at
evening. Upon being released from their
heavy sledges, after having dragged them
through the snow for 30 or so miles, they
would invariably go to romping. After
being fed they would curl themselves up
like kittens, place their bushy tails over the
tips of their noses and go to sleep.
"The huSkies never bark. If excited or
troubled about anything they turn their
noses up to the sky and whine, very much
as wolf does. But the strength and en-
durance Of these dogs amazed me most.
Two of them would easily drag a man on a
sledge all about, while team of eight were
equal 10 really prO1lBlOuS tasks. Sucn u
team sold on the coast for $1,000 once while
| was there. Every one soon grew to learn
that they were the only kind of animals to
depend upon. Horses soon became tagged
and had to be abandoned before the interior
could be reached.
"One American brought several huge
Newfo,mdlands up with him, thinking to
train them to toll with the huskies of his
team. They proved utter failures, giving
out the first day and sitting down in the
snow. Their more sturdy companions
waited till they were detached and then
took the sledge on themselves. Their only
shortcoming lies in a tendency at times to
be lazy. Sometimes it is absolutely neces-
sary to whip one or more for shirking his
work. This was always painful duty
because of their keen and often pathetic
intelligence. The victim was nearly
always conscious of his guilt, and would set
up half-human whine at the first sign Of
the lash"
According to popular belief. the husky is
ing to tradition he dates back to the time
when the trappers for the Hudson Bay
Company overran the country in the last
century. A Frenchman named Marnot,
having made friends with an Indian, woke
one morning to find that he had been robbed
OF his dog, faithful collie. A year later
he suddenly came upon the thief by the
side of river. Marnot killed his adver-
sary. Upon entering his hut he found his
lost dog tied to a stake. She was sur
rounded by several shaggy puppies, from
whom date the present race of huskies.

lay many bod eS. which the Indians Strove
10 push up with poleS-but my lord s body
rose rot among them. And yet, he sleeps
in the lake,-yes, he sleeps in the lake! for
how could he escape that night, and no
more by his side?"
As Jacinto spoke, he wept and sobbed
bitterly, giving himself up to despair. But
not so the knight: he listened, somewhat
bewildered, to the confused narration of an
event. in which he had shared no part; but
catching the idea, at last and mlnging
it with another, the fruit Of his very dis
tempered mind, he said, quickly, and
almost joyously:
Dry thy tears: for now perceive that my
son is not dead, but liveth; and straightway
we will go forth, and seek him!" Jacinto
regarded the knight with melancholy
sumed, with much devout emphasis
But n moment since, before thou camest
into this den, mine eyes were opened upon
paradise; it was vouchSafed to me, who
must never hope to enjoy such spectacle
again.-no, desdichado de mil never again,
never again,-to look upon the golden city
Of God; wherein / walked, with all those
whom, in my life | had loved, and who
were dead. There saw !, among the saints
and seraphim, my father, who fell in arms
at the sack OF Albania; my mother, who
died giving me birth: together with all the
friends of my childhood, who perished
early: there, also. | beheld Aldaref and
Zayda. the murdered and the blest,-with
all others that were truly dead. Now thou
wilt see. how God opened mine eyes in this
trance; for, though wept thee. dear child,
as truly believing thou vert deceased, yet

Inc hoia Plant Plant is Natures
Positive cure for Asthma and Hay-fever
In the short time since its discovery this
remarkable botanical product has come
into universal use in the Hospitals Of
Europe and America as an unfailinG
specific cure for every form Of Asthma.
Its cures are really marvellous. Rev. j. L.
Combs, of Martinsburg, West Virginia,
writes to the NelD York World, February 9th.
that it cured him Of Asthma OF thirty years
standing, and Mrs. L. johnson of No. At
Second ST., Washington, ID. c., testifies that
for years she had to sleep propped up in q
chair in Hay-fever season, unable to lie
down night or day. The Kola Plant cured
her at once. Mr.. Alfred O. Lewis, editor Of
the Farmers Magazine, Of Washington,
ID. c., was also cured when he could not lie
down for fear Of choking, being always
worse in Hay-fever season. Many other
sufferers give similar testimony, proving
it truly wonderful remedy. AS the Kola
Plant is a specific constitutional cure for the
disease, Hay-fever sufferers should use it
before the season of the attacks, when
practical, so as to give it tim,s to act on the
system. IL you suffer from Asthma or
Hay-fever, in order to prove the power Of
this new BOTANICAL discovery, we will send
you one large case by mail entirely free,
All we request in return is that when cured
yourself you will tell your neighbors about
It. 1t costs you absolutely nothing. Send
your address to The Kola Importing Co.,
No. I1G4 broadway, New York.

His Reward.
He went a peaceful way
And tried to do his best,
With never any room
For hate within his breast.
He won no great renown,
He gained no splendid height
For all his days were spent
In merely doing right
He never broke a heart.
He caused no tears to fiows
But where he slumbers weeds
And briers only grow.
So bet him sleep away
Till summoned by the Lord :.
Sweet virtue hasn't ceased
To be its own reward
