The Conservatives Act.

Education of Military Dogs.

The education of military dogs in
the German army proceeds as follows !:
First he is put through general
course Of training, having for its OBJ
ject to teach him prompt obedience to
command and signals; then he is
taught to run errands with certainty,
SO that he may go from the advance
patrols back to the rear divisions and
return at the word of command, and
that he may keep up communication
between stationary divisions and posts !;
finally he is taught to be vigilant and
make known the approach of any
stranger to the post. Training to fit
them for search after the missing is
not usually required. 1t would have
result only in rare cases-except in
the use of dogs by sanitary corps, di-
visions of volunteer nurses. etc., to
whom in case of war specially trained
dogs will be assigned-but would
rather lead the dogs to expose them
selves uselessly to danger and get lost.
Even this, however, sometimes enters
into the course of instruction, when
individual dogs show themselves especi-
ally fitted for it and the teacher pos
sesses great aptness in in. ~essing on
the dog his duties in this direction.

United states OF south Africa.

Recently in the Imperial Institute,
London, at a meeting presided over
by the Prince of Wales, DR.. Jamison
gave an account of the rush OF prog
ress witnessed in South Africa, and in
dicated that all signs tended to the
federation of the various colonies un-
der the name of the United States of
South Africa. In no part of the world
is history made so rapidly, DIR. Jami-
son declared, AS in the country stretch
ing from the Cape of Good Hope to
Lake Tangenyika, several thousand
miles northward. The area now un-
der the control of British colonizing
influence equals that of the whole of
Europe. Besides gold in large guam
titles, coal and iron ore, those primal
requisites of civilization, have been
found and are under prospect of rapid
development. In the last three years
nearly 1000 miles of telegraph lines
have been established, and three diff
ferent lines of railway, from rs many
points of the compass, are opening up
the splendid country. The colonies,
together with the quasi-independent
Transvaal Republic of the Beers, to
be federated, would number some
eight or nine members, and the racial
problem, as regards the native Africans,
has so far not presented itself. The
natives have not been vested with the
ballot, nor is it likely that the young
confederacy will, for the next ten or
twenty years. trouble itself with the
attempt of considering the subject.

Democratic Papers Complain.

"Indexes of prosperity. The re-
turn of good times shown by the news
papers. Circulation up, more adver-
tising."
The foregoing is copy OF some
headlines in the New York Times of
February %. AS they did not appear
on the editorial page there might be
some sem mblance of truth in the news
that they convey. If SO we are heartily
glad to know it. The newspapers can
not be as prosperous while the free
trade ruin and wreckagc policy is in
effect as they were under protection.
Even the New York Herald had to
complain that every private industry
was being injured by the party it
helped to place in control of our Ma
tional Administration. With the res
toration of protection the Democratic
newspapers everywhere will return to
prosperity.

The New York Independent says

The New York Independent says
There must be something highly valu-
able in the use of the bicycle, which
has long passed the stage of 'craze, Z"
and has become SO much the estab.
lished order of things as to have SER
iously injured the market for horses.
There is every reason to suppose that
q moderate and rational use of the
bicycle directly contributes to health
of course the mental strain and pro-
tracted over-exertion called for in
racing are an immense tax on the vital
force. 1t las long been known that
the violent muscular effort of the
hunted hare, who is coursed to his
death by dogs, produces just as un.
natural condition of the blood as
does a severe infectious fever; and the
occasional cases of persons who have
unsound hearts, dying from the extra
efforts of the "cycle," should be a
warning. DR.. Tessie, OF Bordeaux,
studied carefully the effect of the
efforts of M. Stephane, whose object
was to see how many miles he could
ride in twenty-four hours. He &C.
,complished 3S5 miles. E1e lost in
weight fourteen pounds. His food
consisted OF five pints of milk, one
pint of tea, one pint Of lemonade, and
three ounces each of rum and cham.
pagne, and seven ounces of mint; and
the secretions so changed as to show
that s'his body ate itself" This kin
of living will do for "spurt," but
would be ruinous in the long run.

extemporaneous sermon that was

MY CLOCK.
In the silence of the night,
ter xuoLop with a ffriO

In the silence of the night,
If waken with alright,
From dream that's full Of terror and
annoy,
There's sound that fills my heart
With melody of art,
Full of beauty, full Of pleasure, full Of Joy.
IT'S the steady "tick tick, tock."
OF my sturdy little clock,
As it sits across the room upon a shelf;
And 1t says: ''Don't be afraid,
For I've closely by you stayed
While you were off in the land of dreams
yourself.
''With steady tick, tick, tick
1 am never tired or sick,
And count the minutes over as they fly;
I'm the truest friend you've got,
And share your ev'ry lot,
And I'm ready to stand by you till you die"
It's common sort of clock,
But like its lusty ''tock,''
And it fills my soul with courage by its
song.
In the storm, or cold, or rain,
hear its bright refrain,
As it faithfully pursues its path along.
For it tells me to be true
To each thing have to do,
And, no matter if the world applaud or
scorn,
That full soon must pass the night,
And the sweet and precious light
Be unfolded with the coming of the morn.

EXPORTS TO GERMANY.
Values.
Totals

Iot'tiS. LILO, Joo.lZ3 I'll 800 ,oOi
The foregoing is list of the articles,
mentioned by the Herald. that shows
"a large falling off in our exports to
Germany" The values are taken
from report by Mr.. Worthington G..
Ford, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics
of the Treasury Department. The
"large falling OFF, of the Herald's i'm
agination is an actual increase of $2,-
661, 1916.
In agricultural implements the
'large falling off, was gain of $751;
O06. In sewing machines the 'large
falling off" was, $780, ,072, due in great
part to the very much lower price at
which sewing machines are now SELL
ing owing to the expiration of patents.
In cotton manufactures the '1arge
falling off was an increase of $50, 824,
which is very remarkable when we con-
slider that Germany bought from us In
1894 over 63,000,000 pounds more
raw cotton than she did in 1898. In
flour the "large falling off" was $601,- :
27S because Germany bought more
wheat from Argentina and made her
own flour under her policy of protec-
tion to her home industries.
In our exports of seeds to Germany
the 'falling off of more than 90 per
cent" was less than so per cent, but
the Herald forgets to state that the
protection on seeds was reduced so
per cent, SO that we sold less when
the markets of the world were open to
us, and the same was the case with
-four. But look at the "falling off of
more than so per cent" in our exports
of butter to Germany, which were
only $7730 in 1898, and increase to
$10S, S4l in 1894, gain of nearly
1400 per cent.
Then again, the "falling off of more
than so per cent" in our exports OF
beef products resolves itself into an
increase of $111,S ,SS2, our shipments
of canned beef being lighter, but of
silt or picked beef $185, 900 more
than in 1893, leaving the net gain in
our beef export trade at Sill, SS2, as
above stated.
Still farther the sfalling off of more
than so per cent" in Germany's pur-
chases of American hog products is
represented by an increase of So, 392,-
913, which was exactly gain of 80
per cent. in this branch of our trade,
every article of bacon, hams, fresh and
picked pork and lard being in greater
demand than in 1898.

Native Country Of Indian Corn.

We believe that both the Japanese
and Chinese claims to have known our
so-called Indian corn for thousand
Jears or more, but this does not IN
any way invalidate the story of it's
American origin. 1t may have been
carried from this country to Japan
either by some person or in an aban-
doned canoe; and, in fact, there are
various ways in which an ear or few
grains of corn might have reached the
Eastern Nations. It was certainly cui-
tivated here and used for food by the
prehistoric races of this country moro
than one or two thousand years ago.
because the charred and dried grains
of Indian corn, beans and pumpkin
seeds are found in many of the ancient
ruins Of the homes of people who
lived here long before the Indians APP
peared, or what we call the fred
men" began to roam over the Western
plains. New York Sun.
