quickness sAd the strength Of his
jaws. Every well-set-up dog, it will
be found, has a thick bunch of mus
cles at the side of its jaws. In any
other breed of dogs this abnormal
development would be considered a
deformity. 1t is this powerful little
group of muscles which gives the jaw
its vise-like grip. The form of the
jaw is particularly well adapted to
the work it is called upon to do. 1t
is long and broad and set with un-
usually heavy teeth.
The two long teeth which help to
give the bulldog its ferocious ap-
pearance are also very valuable weap-
ons. They serve, as it were, to lock
up the vise-like jaws when they are
once closed upon an object.
The most powerful muscles in the
entire frame of the bulldog are those
which control the jaws. In case the
prey, whatever it may be, slips from
this grip, it is certain to be caught
and held by the interlocking teeth in
the front of the jaw.
Almost any bulldog, whether in or
out of condition, can support its own
weight by the grip of its jaws. The
marvellous tenacity of this grip is
largely due to its ability to hold its
own weight by the grip of its front
teeth.
Even the young bull pup can lift
its own weight by the grip of its
jaws. As the dog grows this grip
becomes so strong that a bulldog
may be swung and jerked about vio-
lently without disturbing its hold.
The muscles come to maturity
about the fourth year. A bulldog is
considered capable of doing its best
fighting in its fifth and sixth years.
The average life of a bulldog is
IA years.

DE WINDT'S JOURNEY.
Will Try to Reach New York by
Way Of the ArctIca.

Harry De Windt and his compan-
ions, who will attempt to reach New
York by travelling overland. started
long since on their way to Behring
strait. The trip will be across the
continent to Siberia, where the Rus
sian government will actively assist
the explorer in his undertaking.
VicOmte de Cinchamp and George
Harding accompany NJ. De Wildt.
This will be the third attempt NJ. De
Windt has made to reach America
entirely by land. On the first occa-
sion, starting from New York, he
managed to reach the Asiatic coast
of the straits, but owing to his cap
ture and subsequent i'll treatment bv
Koari, the Tchuktchi chief, he mar
rowly escaped with his life and had
TO return.
He again attempted the journey in
the reverse direction last year, but
owing to the political situation in
China and on the Amur Count Lams-
dOrf refused TO allow De Windt to
cross Siberia, and again NJ. De Windt
had to relinquish the trip.
Now, however, be is receiving as
siEtance from both the Russian and
American authorities, including COM

Fine POiRts, Which Are
Here Described.

In point Of strength, tenacity and
endurance no animal in the world
can compare, size for size, with a
Well-set-up bulldog, Its fighting
qualities are, Of course, prOyerbial.
Most people, however, only know its
exploits from the pictures in the
comic papers. Anyone who Will take
the trouble to examine the peculiar
equipment of one of these powerful
little engines Will end by having
greatly increased respect for its quail
tiles, says the New York World. .
The enormous strength of the bull
dog lies not so much in the size of
its muscles as in their arrangement.
Years of careful breeding have de
VeloPed great layers of muscles
where they may be used to the best
possible bulldog advantage.
Compared with most dogs a bull.
dog may be said to be defOrmed. The
head, shoulders and forelegs have
been developed at the expense of the
rest of the body so far as symmetry
is concerned. 1t would almOs. seem
that the breeders had gone out of
their way to produce as ugly Epeci-
men of dogfesh as possible.
A bulldog, of course, never runs
away. There is no object, therefore,
in growing legs on him which would
give him speed. His appearance, on
the contrary, suggests a battering-
ram. The muscles seem to be placed
on the legs for pulling, not for prop
elling the body. In extreme cases
We find the bulldog bowlegged, which
gives greater power to drag heavy
objects or to resist being dragged.
The shortness of the legs by bring
ing the body as near as possible to
the ground, also suggests great sta

found that all superfuous flesh dis
appears more quickly than in the
case of other dogs, and that a bull
dog in condition carries less super
fiuOus weight than any other breed.
The heaviest layers of muscles are
laid on the bulldogs head and neck.

THE ACCIDENT ROLL.
It Proves That There Is q Destiny
That Shapes Our Ends.
Sometimes the merest Trifies Cause
Death, at Other Times Terrible
CaIamitIsa Have NO Eject
The Theory Illustrated.

To take the accident roll OF the
United States for q week, one might
find in the little things that cause
death a measure of proof of the doc
trine of the fataHst. WAen an engine
boiler blows up without scratching
the engineer, and when the prick Of
needle causes death in a few days, one
may well wonder al the fates.
Miss Blanche Young, of Wabash,
Ind, was the victim of the needle point.
She was at work in a millinery store
and in sewing she stuck the point of
a needle deep in her finger. She went
on with her work, however, and the
poisonous dyes in the fabric caused the
finger to swell terribly. Blood poison
ing developed rapidly, from which the
young woman died in agony.
No less strange was the death OF Ed
gar P. Seeger, of Chicago, at Utica,
n. Y. A pimple appeared on the
young mans face and he carelessly
Pricked it with a pin. Inflammation
followed, blood poison set in, and
death was the result.
Within a week the dentists chair
has cost three lives in more or less
direct way. At Sioux City, Ia, the
filing of a tooth caused a stroke of
apoplexy to DR.. Adelaide f. Kilbourne,
and she died as she was leaving the
chair. At Loyal, Wis, an aching tooth
drove Kimbal J. Berry to dentist
.z-;+h ~. uaouas+ 4ba4 - ha rAullad at
any cost. 1t was a molar far back in
the jaw, and was so firmly rooted that
in the pulling OF it the jaw bone was
fractured. The accident was discOv-
cred at once, and remedies applied, but
blood poison set in killing the pa
tient in a few days. In Chicago the
other day Miss Mamie Ferry, of Oak
Park, died from fear Of the dentists
chair, TO which she was going in the
Chicago College OF Dental Surgery.
She was troubled with a weak heart
and the nervous strain to which she
was subjected caused her TO fall dead
in the street.
Among the inconsequential things
TO cause death an acorn, the shell OF
a peanut, and grain of corn are the
least.
Barbara Bothman, little girl living
in Jackson, Miss, was the victim OF
the acorn. She had been complaining
OF pains in her right side, and the ply
sicians who were called in decided upon
an operation for appendicitis. In the
appendix the acorn was found, much
enlarged from the heat and moisture.
The child recalled having swallowed
it in her play. The shock of the oper-
alton was too much for her and she
died.

was allowed to play with a peanut.
Putting it in its mouth the nut found
it's way into the child's windpipe,
choking it to death before the par
ents discovered the accident.
One of the strangest deaths record
ed recently in Illinois was that which
came to the 13-year-old son of Thorn
ton Daniel, of Scotland county. An
other brother of the boy was on his
road TO a neighbor's house, riding a
horse and carrying a sharp butcher
ing knife in his hip pocket. The boy
asked to go along, and was allowed
TO get up behind the brother on the
horse. The horse began plunging
with them, in which the younger
brother was thrown against the
sharp knife, which pierced his heart.
Joseph Carter, 20 years old, killed
Edward Campbell, aged A, with a
single blow of his fist. The two men
had been at enmity, and Campbell
on one occasion had threatened Car
ter with knife. Finally. at Camp
bells challenge, the two met to fight
out their grievances with fists. Car
ter landed the first blow just over
Campbel's heart and the man
dropped dead without a sound.

Famous New York Lawyer and Orator
Has a Personal Charm ThatIs
Irresistible

Like several other famous New

employed as a boy in the great dry
goods store of the late Alexander T.
Stewart. The strict ideas of thrift and
economy that were insisted upon by
the famous merchant were we'll
known to young Cochran, as they
were to every other employe in the

he became careless at times. One day
Mr.. Stewart caught him wasting

New Cure for seasiekness.

Sea water is recommended as a
cure for seasickness. In addition to
a light diet and a mild purge before
starting on voyage, and loose
clothing and a recumbent position
in the open air on board ship, the
remedy never known to fail is a pint
of sea water. This usually acts as an
emetic and often IS a saline aperient,
giving prompt relief from all un-
pleasant feelings.
