ALASKAN DOGS HALF WOLF. Invnliiable to the Inhabitants?Serve us Draught Animals. The native Alaska dog is known as the "huskie" or 'mahunoot' and Is a mongrel?'one-half timber wolf, says a writer In Leslie's Weekly. He has characteristics which especially fit him for his work?he is heavy set, with a thick coat of long hair, im pervious to cold, and with just enough wolf in his nature to make him restless, eager to go. and with a sufficient mixture of dog to temper a fierceness and treachery which might, and sometimes does, become dangerous. It is a rare occurrence for them to bite a human being, but they will fight among themselves on the slight est provocation, and It is not an un common sight for half a dozen "huskies" to hold a pitched battle. A bucket of cold water will generally put them to flight, but in the major ity of cases th" miners pay no atten tion to the melee and allow the dogs to fight It out. The wolf nature manifests Itself In their thieving propensities, and all food must be "cached'' out of their reach. A hungry "huskie" will open a box of canned beef with ease by biting through the tin. He will He before the door of a tent or nabln, pretending to be asleep, when in reality he Is waiting for a chance to ransack the kithchen One day I saw a miner's dinner wrecked by his own dog, a splendid big, wolfish fellow, who overturned a pot of beans, and in the most un concerned manner walked off with the hot bacon In his mouth. No matter what depredations they may commit, severe punishment, so as to cripple or kill them. Is out of the question on account of their great value In the transportal ion of supplies. It is an inferior dog that is not worth $40, and many of them, say their masters, are not for sale. Two good dogs can haul a man forty or fifty miles a day on a good I trail or carry from 500 to 600 pounds of freight about 20 miles In C hours. Weather Forecasts So Joke. A large majority of the residents of the inland cities look upon the forecasts of the I'nlted States Weather Bureau in a spirit of fore bearanee if not of levity. They ac cept the Jokes of the paragraphers about the unreliability of the viredic tions as practically true and if called upon to pass a serious opinion on the bureau would in most cases de cide that it was primarily designed to furnish sinecure jobs to army offi cers for whom no better employment could be found. At the ocean and lake ports, however, where millions of dollars are Invested In shipping, a different view is held. Instances are too numerous in which the heeded warning of the weather observer has averted the loss or damage of ships and cargoes of exceedingly large val ue. Here it Is recognized that the forecasts are not Invariably correct and the officials themselves moke no pretense that they are, but in the main they strike so near the truth that the man who has life and wealth that is subject to menace by weather conditions cannot and does not take chances. No shipping in surance Is so cheap as the free ad vice furnished by Uncle Sam. Rail roads, too, appreciate the value of the weather service especially In the Northwest during the blizzard sea son and in the Southwest during the Spring freshets. At these seasons transportation officials keep a close watch on the bulletins of the bureau and gauge the movements of their trains accordingly. The losses thuB avoided frequently are sufficient to put the balance on the right side of / the ledger. Utilizing Pine Stump*. The denuding of the American foests Is leading to many odd re sources to supply the deficiency. The government recently announced that owing to the rapid manner In which forests are being mowed down to secure wood pulp for paper ma Icing a small army of experts were at work, hunting for some abundant material like swamp or prairie grass that would be suitable for paper making. Long ago the supply of wal nut lumber for furniture was prac tically exhausted and oak has large ly taken Its place. For some time the turpentine makers have been puz zled to find raw material to meet the growing demands of their trade wh'cll threatened to make serious Inroads on the pine forests. The trees were being used much faster than they could be grown and this meant disaster. Then attention was tinned to the refuse of the forests already used and experiments were made which demonstrated that the stumps of the pine lives, which had originally been passed over us not worth the trouble of digging out. were saturated with raw turpentine. These stumps Immediately took on a commercial value which will fur nish small fortunes in ihe men who own them. In some cases the Inter esting question has been raised as to whether the slumps were a part of the original timber right sold h\ the farmer to Ihe turpentine maker or reverted to the owner of the land after the trees had been cut Rapid Trestle HniMing. The vapid reconstruction of a trestle was recently carried on at Galveston, Texas.

A certain prominent minister wns compelled not long ago to give strict orders that while he was engaged in Hie preparation of his sermon his young son must be kept reasonably quiet. In spite of this, however, there arose one morning a most astonishing noise of banging and hammering, which seemed to indi cate that the steam heating pipes were being knocked to pieces. Hur rying out of his study, the minister encountered his wife. "My dear, what In the world is Bobby doing?" he asked. "Why, he is only beating on the radiator do?vn stairs," was the some what -surprised reply. "Well, lie must .?top It," the min ister said, decidedly, j 'I don't think he will harm It, dear." his wife answered, soothing iy; "and It I- the only thing that -.ill keep him quiet."?Harper's Weekly.

BLOOD DISEASED AND SYSTEM DISORDERED Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the'tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms of ringing' noises in the ears, mucous dropping back Into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of nric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidne3-s and Bowels frequently be come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refusa nnd waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the 6ystem. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca tarrhal poison affects all parts of the system.
