srIcIuM's WORKING DOGS
a Curious Spectacle in the City o.
Brussels.


# is a very curious spectacle to a
STRANGER who visits the city OF bruS-
soils for the first time to see III INC
morning innumerable small vehlcle'
loaded with fruit and vegetables ar
irving at the market drawn by doSS,
whose cood-natured barking proves
not only that they experience ~

coming to the city that make use

toners. As general thing each
cart is drawn by but one dog, pu'
there may be several.
The dog thus employed in brus-
sells and it's vicinity for the tractlon
of small vehicles is a strong ana
broad-backed mastiff, more squat
than a large Dane or German mastlh'
generally of a dull fawn color or
more or less black spotted with
white. and a somewhat short-halred
and rough coat. However the Bra
bant peasants do not appear to stick
to one type of breed with fixed con
formation, color, and length of halr;
provided he is strong and energetic
that is all that they require OF their
steed with claws and fangs.
Good specimens are sold from fzV
TO 1913. In the course OF service
these dogs are fed upon bread and
horse meat, and their maintenance
costs about cent a day. The dead
weight they haul is, on an average
$50 pounds. Bulldogs haul much
greater weight.
These dogs are very Jealous ana
perform their duty with as much
pleasure as hunting dogs do in follow
ing the trail of game.
An exercise which well exhibits
their qualities and shows the degree
of emulation with which they are
endowed is that of the races that
frequently take place as conse-
auence of challenges made by their
owners. The race course is high

one or two miles. All rrssers-by

competitors place themselN~ N line.
and the Impotence of the coursers,
which is manifested by voice and
action, can be moderated only by
vigorous applications of the whip.
Finally the signal is given, and they
start off at full speed with loud bark
ings. Falls are frequent, and the
drivers literally bite the dust. But
the automatons in short blOuses are
quickly picked up and put back in
their carts, exciting anew their Wig
orous steeds. and those that have the
oftenest fallen are not for that rea-
son the last to reach the goal.
The swiftness Of a team OF dogs
is such that bets on speed have been
made on a good horse harnessed to a
cab against one of these teams and
been won by the latter.
The Belgians say that good
draught dog costs less to keep and
sells at lower price than an ordinary
ass. while at the same time doing as
much work. 1t is quite curious to
find that among civilized countries

A Queer Thing About CameIs.

Some years ago, when the Bril- !
troops were fighting against the torce'
of the Mahdi in the Soudan, opppor
tunity was afforded to many of the cor
respondents accompanying the expedi,

ed, and at night some of the newspaper
men spent n portion Of their leasure
trying to learn something new about
these strange creatures.
One of them, who was an inveterata
smoker discovered that the camel is
great lover of tobacco. Let any one
smoke a pipe or cigar in the camel
compound, said he, and the camel will
follow the smoker about, place his nose
close to the burning tobacco, inhale
the fumes with prolonged sniff,
swallow the smoke, then throwing his
head up, with mouth agape and eyes
upturned, showing the bloodshot
whites, will grunt sigh Of ecstasy
that would make the fortune Of low
comedian in q love scene.
So ii any of you have pet camel who
seems to be longing for something and
refuses to be comforted until he gets it,
you might give him cigar. He is
usually so intelligent that it would
probably take very few le .sons to teach
him how to smoke in a most expert
fashion.-Harpcrs Young PeonlA

The New Cable,

New YORK, Sept. 2.--Manhattan ISL
and was today put in direct communi-
cation with Europe, the Commercial
Cable Company landing its trans Allan
tic cable at The Battery at roon. The
land terminus of the ocean cable has
heretofore been near the Oriental hotei,
Manhattan beach, Coney island, the wire
coming thence through Brooklyn and
across tt + bridge to the cable office on
Broad street, correr of Wall. So del
icate is the pulse of the cable that with
out "relaying" by the operator at the
shore end. as is usual in cable operations,
the ordinary signals under the ocean
have been hampered by the induction or
interference, which is caused by the
contiguity of underground electric light
or power circuits during the attempt to
work direct between London via Water
vile, ireland, and Conso, N. s., to the
main office in this city. This difficulty
has now been obviatcd by completing
the ocean cable from the SD )re station at
the Oriental along the south side of
Coney island and thence up the main
slip channel TO pier A at The Batteay,
Five miles of cable were laid in shoal
water along Consy island yesterday.
and at 9 o'clock this morning the com
pany's ocean cable steamer, the Mackay-
Bennett, having Rpllced the end with
the cable on the ship left the west end
of Coney island and landed the main
cable at pier A Just before noon, having
put down 10 knots of cable up through
the narrows amidst the crowding of
shipping of the harbor in little over
D hours. This is said by experts to be
excellent speed under the conditions
The significance of the operation lies in
the fact that the Mackay- Bennett her
self landed the cable at pier A, the cable,
three inches in diameter, not being sew
cred from she coil in the tanks aboard
until the ship WAS actually moored in
the slip, This is the first instance in
which any transatlantic cable has been
nctu lily tied to a dock within the city
limits on either side # the ocean.
