HEROISM,
udffe" Saved the Lives of Two
PuppieS. at a Pire-Sad.
Death of "Daisy."
The oases en record in which dogs
have rialto.' their lives to save their
fellow -creatures are almost as n.urn.-
eraus as the acts of heroism chron-
icled in the annals of humanity. The
finest medal that was ever struck
Woutld not have been too great a re-
ward for the noble act performed by
Budge, . a spaniel, in a recent Ho -
baleen lire. Budge lived at 418,,
Fourteenth street, together with 50
carrier pigeons, a demi fanny rab-
bits, and her ownfour puppies only
a few days old,
Before the building was well alight
Mr. Selma the landlord and owner
of Budge, managed to escape with
his family, but the carrier pigeons,
the rabbits, and the puppies were
forgotten. Budge was absent at the
time, but returned half an hour pe-
ter the fire broke out. For a mo-
ment she stood aghast at the
flames, and then, realizing that her
faneily Was in dire danger, she
dashed through the fire and in a mo-
ment returned carrying a badly
blistered puppy. Her anaious face
wore a look of quiet triumph as she
left the little creature in a place of
safety and once more returned to
the burning building. Again she
came back with another puppy, a
littleneore singed this time, but also
living. Her own hair was now
ablaze, but, imminelful of the pain,
she dropped the pup in the street
and started back again.
But a young man who had stood
by watching her, named Arthur
Gerthell, caught the dog itt his arms,
and in spite of her frantic struggles
to return to her perishing family
REFUSED TO LET HER GO.
Had he not done so she would
have gone to her death. So badly
burned was the bravo animal that
an ambulance was called, and she
and the paps wore taken to the dog
hospital, where they were detained
for nearly a week. Of all the live
stock in that building the only crea-
tures saved were the two. puppies,
and they owed their lives, not to
man, but to what in this instance,
at least, proved to be the nobler an-
imal.
Mother love was the cease of the
death of Daisy, a beautiful little
fox -terrier, the daughter of Mouse,
a noted prize-winner, the property
of Colonel G. A, Stevens, .8 promi-
nent raillionaire. Daisy belonged to
Captain Woodall, who has charge of
the barges of the Now Jersey Ice
Company. Daisy was the mother of
foar puppies, which were born to her
on New Year's Day, and she was the
proudest parent in all New York
State.
In the • second week of January
last Captain Woodall made the dis-
covery that one of the pappies was
dea.d, and when Daisy was away he
threw the little corpse iuto the Hud-
son, but the tide was Tow and there
was no current to carry it away.
When the mother returned to • her
litter she 'instantly saw that one was
messin4. She
WENT WILD WITH ANXIETY,
and raced from barge to barge look-
ing for her lost puppy. At last
she caught sight of it bobbing up
and down in the water, and in an
instant she was alter it. She swam
to the side of the body, took it in
her mouth. and turned towards the
shore. But the icy waters of the
river were too much for the gently
bred dog, and though she made the
most heroic efforts to save herself
and the pu,ppy, which she fondly ime
• agined still lived, it was no use,
and after a little. while she gave up
the attempt as a bad job, and before
help could come she sank, carrying
the peppy with her.
Captain W/oodall was alinast as
grief-strickeu for his pet as Daisy
h -ad been for her offspring, and of-
fered a big reward for the two bode
ies, which was secured by a bargee.
An attempt was made to bring up
the throe little orphans on the bot-
tle, which siucceeded so well that
they are now growing up and al-
most qld enough to understand the
story ' of their, mother's heroism,
which Captain "Woodall's little son
is 11.0V= tired of telling them.
Another case in whtch a dog made
a heroic attempt te save the life of
a frienkl ciecurred in the house of the
present writer. Jack was a wire-
haired terrier, and after he had been
in the family for a few raontlis
stranger was introduced itt the shape
of a fluffy little black Xing Charles
spaniel. Jack and the new arrival
--who was called Queonle- became
arm friends, sleeping in the same
basket and eating from the same
plate. Queenie was devoted to the
fire, and would lie laid° the fender
and go to keep very peacefully.
Whenever Jack found her in this
dangerous position he .would look
at her for a moment and then, tak-

• ONTARIO HINTERLAND.
Quebec Eagineer. on. Resources of
the Nortli,
Mr. Vtaighan. M. Roberts,' C. E.,
D.L.S., has just returned to Quebec,
after )3. long, exploration trip in
Newt/heal Ontario and Q.uebec. The
Peace River country, most of the
territory in. Northern. Ontario drain-
ed by the Moose River and its tribu-
• taries, the east coast of Hudson's
Bay, and the Ungava, country- have
all been visited by Mr. Roberts. In-
terviewed in regard to Northern On-
tario, Mr. Roberts was very enthus-
iastic over the enormous water pow-
ers of that territory, and the vast
supply of pulp wood for the manu-
facture of which the powers in ques-
tion might be utilized.
The Abittibi River, , for instance,
which at a distance of a hundred
miles from its junction with the
Moose averages four hundred feet in
width, contains numbers of magnifa
cent water powers, awaiting develop-
ment, varying from 15,000 to 150,-
000 horsepower each. Thebanks of
the river are lined with the best of
pulp wood of all descriptions; which
is practically valueless, however, un-
til it is made available by the con-
struction of a railway into the ter-
ritory.
The other tributaries of the Moose
River possess powers equally good,
if not better, than those of the Abit-
tibi. There is one alone on the Mis-
sanabie, not far from the praposed
crossing of the river by the railway,
which is capable of developing at
least a quarter of
A MILLION IfORSIIPOWER.
AbOve this fall' there are three oth-
ers within a distance of four miles,
having altogether a fall of about
000 feet, capable of furnishing half
a million horsepower. Apart from
its great wealth of timber and pulp-
wood, there is much excellent agri-
cultural land in this north country,
end indications of very great Min-
eral wealth. The signs of bitumin-
ous coal are very much in evidence
in a strip of country of very good
width, winch crosses tbe Abittibi
and other tributaries of the Moose,
and these deposits have given the
name of Coal Elver to ono of the
tributaries of the Missanabio. Kao-
lin, which is much sought for in tho
manufacture of china, is also to be
found on the banks of the Abittibi,
while an enormous bed of gypsum
extoads for at least a mile along the
Milseanabio.
The Abittibi flows for 200 miles
through a magnificent agrieultixral
country, having a large clay belt.
Mr. Roberts believes this territory
to be as good as any in the coun-
try. Immense quantities of peat are
to be had it it, the bed in seine
places being twelve feet deep, Mr.

CREAMERY BUTTER.,

1t0411ltteilnit.*`
Mr, Pope (Oompton) said that
the elauee should be very careful in
diseriminating, between (weenie:17 and
dairy butter, If Uwe were way
ecletun attaching to dairy butter it
011oniei not be made impossible for
a farmer owning forty or arty cows,
and waiving his owe. butter, 'to mark
that butter as creamery. :ft was
n:ot eel:a/dialled that creamery but-
ter was superior to dairy batter,
anAl the Rause should not give the
latter inferior legal status.
Mr. Fieher replied that the mark-
ing of butter as creamery simply
stamped it as Ile proeeuet of co-op-
erative creameries.
Mr. Gilmour (East Middlesex) ar-
gued that the product of fifty cows -
on a Sarre, would h.ave a better
cihance of being really good butter
than that from various farina col-
lected at a creamery,
Several other members of the
Blouse also spoke. There was a
great divergence of °Pinion on the
subject of the grades of butter,
wbich, as laid down in the Aat, are.
creamery butter, dairy butter, and
renovated butter.
/Mr. Bell (Pictou) sugg'estad an -
ether grade, which miglvt be kilown
as "erivate creamery" batter. This
suggestion met with some faver.
Dr. Sproule moved aa amendment
defining creamery butter to be but-
ter manufactured by the ordinary-
ceeamery process, where a cream
separator is used, and irrespective
of the number of eows contelbuting
to the esta,blishment.
Ma. Pope suggested that clause 3,
which enacted that a farmer Must
leave fifty or more cows before he
•coulld brand his butter as "cream-
ery," be allowed to stand for fur-
ther consideration.
Mr. Fisher appreciated the im-
portant° of the matter, and ac -
Viewed in Mr. Popes Suggestion.
Mr. Inenelerson (Helton) said that
the weed moisture might be used in
place of water as to the percentage
to be Allowed.
Me Fisher said that' alter much
time, trouble, and investigation. in
England 16 per cent. bad bee4t found
to be the fair thing to allow for wa-
ter in butter. Only two samples,
however, out of 150 examined by
the Dominion analyst had been found
to have exceeded this percentage.
Dr, Sproule did not think where
th.e percentage of adulteration. was
so small there was any reason to
put in a clause defining 16 Per cent.
as tbe limit.
Alter some discussion. he bill was
passed through committee, encep-

HOG CHOLERA.
Dr. Sproule complained. that the
county of Essex had not beeit quar-
antined, and that in consequence
hog cholera had been carried into
Bruce county.

ever necessary any district infected
was quarantined, but he did not see
any reason for picking out a parti-
cular county for exceptional treat-
nt?ellIt.

CHEESE AND BUTTER.
Mr, Monk asked what was the re-
port of the investigation hold by the
Deputy Minister of Trade and Com-
merce into the weighing of butter
and cheese.
Mr. Fisher replied that the report
of the commission had not yet been
made out. Complaints with regard
to this matter had been made by a
number of tradesmen, and the com-
mission was appointed to investigate
them, but as the report had not yet
been received it was premature to
discuss the justice of the complaint.
As soon as the report of the com-
miseio.n was received it would be laid
on. the table of the House. The ex-
pense of the investigation so 'far
had amounted to $428.95.
