DOGS IN MILITARY SERVICE.
How They Are Taught to Detect the
Presence of the Enemy.
From Black,cood's Magazine.


From Bldckacood's Magazine
Among the various uses to which the in
telligence of dogs has been put is that of
scouts in military affairs. Here the well
trained dog does such good service as to be-
come well nigh Invaluable.
That Napoleon fully realized how i'm
poriant a role might be assigned to dogs is
we'll known. la 1899 he wrote to Marmont:
''Tnere should be at Alexandria a large
number of dogs, which you ought to be
| able to employ by massing them in groups
at short distance from the walls" The
marvel is that, after 50 plain an expression
on the subject from such an authority In
the ART of war, the employment of dogs
should hot have become matter of course.
instead of which, eghty-nine years later, it
is still regarded as a tentative measure.
Recent experiments prove that the we'll
trained dog will give notice of the presence
of man, dressed in the uniform Of foe,
at distance of 900 feet. And just as the
custom house dog passes quietly by honest
peasants, aud only calls the attention of
| their masters to lawbreakers, SO these wise
regimental dogs ignore the movements of
unattached civilians, but seem TO develop
strong personal antipathy to any person
whom they lntuitively recognize as icing
the service Of the enemy. Probably, how
ever, no dog has ever rendered
such signal military service, or has
been so honorably recognized as the
celebrated poodle Mustache, who shared the
victorious fortunes of the French army
! through most of the wars of the consulate
and of the French empire. He won special
honors at Marengo, and was decorated on
the battlefield of Austerlitz by Marshal
LanDes as a reward for having rescued his
regimental standard from an Austrian sol
der when in the act of snatching it from
the grasp Of the standard bearer as he fell
mortally wounded The plucky poodle
drove off the assailant, and then, seizng
the tattered colors in his teeth. dragged
them triunphantly till he reached his own
company.
1t is evident that were military dogs to
be exclusively chosen from any special
breed, all animals of that race would become
targets for the foe, whenever seen, therefore
dogs are to be selected on account of indi
vldual merit-or ather promise of merit,
as it is necessary to begin their tnition in
early youth, and canine education should
be commenced IN good earnest at months
of age. So the dogs now to be seen in
training at certain German aud French
military stations are of all sorts and sizes
''dachshunds" and poodles, retrievers and
collies, greyhounds, foxhounds, fox terriers
and othe S, male and female. The Italians
prefer the latter, as possessing keener senses
of hearing and scent. All are trained to
rigid silence-a result only to be obtained
after long and patient tuition; indeed. it is
at all times difficult to insure obedience
when music strikes up, so great is the
temptation to give vocal accompaniment.

Mourning Garh in CHM.

White is, in general way, the color
OF mourning in China, sons, during the
first three days, wearing the tunic wrong

only. After that time they wear, like
other mourners, garments of unbleachcd
hempcn cloth, except on the seventh
day, when they and their wives wear
sackcloth tunics, usually hired from a
shop where collins are sold. The sons
do not shave their heads for 100 DAYS,
and they wear mourning for twenty
seven months, during which time they
cannot marry. Daughters and daugh-
ters-in-law put off mourning ut the end
of one year, when they resume their
golden head ornaments and don some
bit of red.

will have chapel, library, nigh,
school, n work shop. o laundry, hen

Miss Gilbert, and as the State stands

the Legislature will not refuse to rcmed y
