FOREST AND STREAM. 
Their names were Caesar, Doc, Joe, Indian 
Sue, who killed and partly ate two of Yarmah’s 
puppies last autumn, Jerry, Topsy, Chidley, 
Nigger, Black Jack, Nobby, Savage, Tyke and 
Damsel, and four thoroughbred house dogs, 
Melpes and Yarmah, two beautiful collies, 
Gentleman Jack, a dear little cocker spaniel, 
and Jill, curly coated retriever, who has traveled 
thousands of miles with Dr. Grenfell, for she 
is nine years old, and goes every summer with 
her master in the S.S. Strathcona, up and down 
the Labrador and northern Newfoundland 
coast. Savage, Tyke and Damsel were kept at 
home to draw the water, wood and coal for the 
hospital and orphanage, but the others took 
the doctor on his long medical trips with the 
komatik. They traveled last winter 1,100 miles. 
One day last winter they were so dead beat 
near the end of a long, hard day, that poor 
Nobby wanted to lie down on the snow and die, 
but the doctor took him up in his arms, pro¬ 
testing. and carried him home on the komatik. 
A few days’ rest with plenty of food, soon made 
him all right. They were all dreadful jealous of 
Melpes; I think it was because he had such a 
beautiful plumed tail and ruff, was combed 
every day, did no work, slept in the house, and 
had as much food as he wanted. I always had 
to be ready with a stick and a gruff voice to 
stop a dog fight. 
Here at Harrington we have quality, not 
quantity, for Dr. Hare says they are the best 
team on the coast. They took him seventeen 
hundred miles last winter. Twice they went 
through the ice and were nearly drowned, but 
struggled out. and brought themselves and 
their master safely home. 
There names are: Veak. the leader, who, 
their driver will say, knows as much as a human 
being. She got her tail frostbitten last winter, 
and had to have part of it amputated; Topsy, the. 
policeman, who keeps all the others straight; 
Black Head, whom Topsy completely rules, 
Grey, who keeps steadily on and never has to 
be spoken to, Bully, who is not what his name 
indicates, and Jack the second dog, an Eskimo 
from the far north who has a beautiful bushy 
tail, and wolf-like face. Grey has six beautiful 
puppies, two weeks old. that we have named 
Mack, because spotted, Tyke. Gyp, Snow, Alba, 
and Nick. Jack has four, one day younger, and 
these we have named Alpha, Beta, Major and 
Ponto. We are giving the two mothers two 
large meals of cornmeal and porridge and fish 
each day, for we want the puppies to be big 
and fine, that they may learn to drag a komatik 
next spring. 
_ It is very weird to hear the komatik dogs 
sing their vesper hymn, as we call it; at six 
and nine P. M., and at midnight, the prima 
donna and leading tenor will start a mournful 
howl, every dog in the harbor will join, and the 
result is a wailing chant in a minor key, lasting 
unless stopped, for nearly five minutes. I think 
they are pouring out their woes, and uncon¬ 
sciously imitating their wolf ancestors. 
It is probable that in the near future these in¬ 
teresting animals will be entirely superseded by 
the reindeer, whose arrival Dr. Grenfell is now 
so anxiously expecting.—Sister Mayou in “The 
Deep Sea Fishers. 
A WOMAN HUNTER IN MEXICO. 
Countess de St. Pierre, intrepid woman 
hunter of big game, left Los Angeles recently 
for the delta of the Colorado River, where she 
goes to hunt peccaries in Mexico. The Countess 
secured as her guide Captain C. A. Mont¬ 
gomery, an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home, who 
is known as an old-time. scout of the West. 
Captain Montgomery said he was induced to ac¬ 
company the Countess because she had a letter 
from President Roosevelt asking to accompany 
the French woman in her quest.

Sa.m Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books in 
the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

Bears I Hare Mel—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
ohildren, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.

Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8 vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Everyone who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject/ The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
Bttle or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
t “£i_ wor k w * lich are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida. 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
Jo?” Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings, and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the picture of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.
