The Honorable Secretary of Agricul-

ed from the daily weather forecasts,
has brought to my attention Il plan by
which much wider dissemination Of
the daily predictions of the Weather

1t Is proposed to telegraph daily to
postmasters at distributing offices the
weather forecasts, to be bulletined in
their offices for the benefit of the pub
lie, and also to be mailed to OUTLYING
pOstotfices which can be reached in
time to make the forecasts of value.
A simple device by which the fore
casts is readily aud easily duplicated
and stamped upon postal cards will be
furnished cooperating pOstmasters by
the Weather Bureau, rs well as the
necessary postal cards for Use IN this
connection.
In view Of the importance of this
service and the special benefits to be
derived therefrom, trust that each
postm 'ster invited to cooperate in this
work will take an interest in the mat
ter and devote to it the fee minutes
necessary daily to prepare the cards
and give them proper distribution.

the most intelligent and tractable breed of the shepherd dog variety, it was again found that these dogs, after all the training they had undergone, were anything but reliable under fire;
 some of them ran away even out of reach of the smoke. As for being able to make clear distinction between friend and foe, as had been claimed, tEey were entirely at fault. The vari- ety of uniforms among the friends" seems to mislead and bewilder them.
 The maneuvers, nevertheless, were of unusual importance for other req sons. They were on a larger scale than was ever before attempted on the German side. Some one hundred and three thousand combatants were brought together on comparatively small territory-for the three days at taclSing, retreating, marching and coun- termarching took place on a space barely amounting to twenty English square miles. Thus, also, for the first time, the test was made whether the existing system of provisioning the Ger man army in the field comes up to the requirements of war as it will be next

Instead of working. the men lse large part of their time in trav- ,lling in these boats from island to sland, talking politics.

prince, his father, who believed in this stern Hohenzollern creed until the hour of his death, patted the boy ap- provingly on the shoulder when the story was told him.
 Duty, since then, has claimed Will liam II. unremittedly. He considers neither likes nor dislixes, comfort nor convenience when he believes that a duty lies before him. He goes and does it, let the outcome be what it may. Every day since he ascended the throne has borne witness to this fact, and the strong conviction he has that duty must be first and foremost is the keynote to his character.
 This shows itself strikingly in the manner he deals with the German army. Personally he is more interested in the navy, and if duty permitted him he would devote his life, his energies, his best thoughts to the development of Germany's naval power. But it is his belief that to maintain the army at the highest point of efficiency and numerical strength is the chief requi- site for Germany if she is to remain the leading continental power, and for

the more weight as he had, the two
 years preceding, been an equally in terested eyewitness to the great
 French fall maneuyers. He elaborated his verdict as follows: What, in my opinion, makes the German army in- vincible, on otherwise even terms, is their tireless, calm energy and marching power combined with the marvellous precision and inherent strength of their discipline always provided, of course, that their leaders, high and low, remain as matchless as they are now What l here say refers principally to the infan- try. The artillery still excel in their fire, but I think they are somewhat lacking in quick locomotion and dash. The cavalry is in no way superior to the French or English, and not as good as the Austrian and Hungarian or Rus sian. Yet for purposes of ascertainlng the location and strength of the enemy and for similar scrvice-the kind Of work for which cavalry will be mainly

lem was solved very satisfactorily; for since the territory around Stettin lies in the lowlands of the Oder, near it's mouth, and is quite unfavorable for the purpose-the absence of steep hllls and of long low walls making the tas,l much more difficult-the fact that nev ertheless loosely built Qualifications were constructed. in some cases within an hour, amply sufficient for the end in view, was great compliment to the efficiency of the German engineer and sapper corps.
 A day after the close of the maneu- vers I conversed with the military at- taches of two of the great powers that had witnessed the whole of the evolu- tions, at least so far as their lack of omnipresence had permitted. Their unanimous verdict was: Germany is still the greatest military power in the world. The opinion of one of these two attaches q am, of course, not at liberty to give their names) was of all

that reason he devotes himself to the army with the most unfiinching faith fitness which his grandfather dis played all through his reign. The grand annual fest for testing all the novelties that have been undertaken in military things and the big maneu- yers mean great deal to the emperor, therefore.
 This years "kaiser" maneuvers, just ended, meant more than ordinarily. There were some important innova- tions to be verified, for one thing. Among these was the new system of field telegraphy, the new tents, the availability of the "literka," the drill and maneuvers of the war dogs" tests with new patterns of rifles, carbines, revolvers and small light pieces of artil- lery. During the three nights of Dlyouacking out in the open two new Kinds of preserved food, specially got ten up in the factories at Spandau for war times, were tried on large scale.

Why People Like Dogs.

And why do people keep such lots of dogs themselves and go in such num- bers to see other peoples dogs? Because the dog is at once the sincerest flatterer and the most successful cheerer that the human race ever had. A good dog always gives us the feeling that we men and women are a sort of gods. No other animal does anything of the kind. The cat treats us as an inferior, and the horse will treat us as a dear friend, not a divinity. The dog, moreover, imparts something of his peculiar gayety to us in way that is irresistible. He mingles his suggestions of gayety with his fattery, for he not only leaves his dim ner untasted to walk with us, but the mere fact that we are apparently giy- ing ourselves the pleasure of walk raises him into such a delirium of de- light that the sight of it puts all our dumps and blues to such re- proach that we shake them off in very shame And when we don't walk, but sit moodily ut home, the dog curls up lovingly at our feet and looks up now and then into our eyes and ''glides into our darker musings with mild and healing sympathy" Yes, there is a solid reason for the fondness of men for dogs, and it will never come to an end until either men or dogs become very different beings from what they are now.-Boston Transcript.

Perhaps the oldest thing in prison methods in the always novel west is the treatment of inmates of the coun- ty jail at Cathlamei, Ore. Three times a day, every day in the week, they are taken out of jail and escorted to the dining-room of one of the several restaurants and hotels in town, and there they take their meals in more comfort and ease than many of the people who have to work for the priv ilege of eating. The keepers of res taurants and hotels refused to make bids for furnishing food to the jail, and this picnic for the prisoners is the result.

time. Some awful blunders were made in this respect. One regiment, the AL exander, did not receive their provi- sions until nearly midnight on the first day of the maneuyers, and another regiment, the Second of the Guard Uhlaus, had to go hungry except for what they picked up on the turnip felds-neariy one whole day. But in the main it was found that the new sys- tenn on which the "train" or victualing columns are reorganized will meet the exigeneies of the case. With few ex- captions, everything in the shape of vietuals and baggage was on time and in place, though orders were given ex- actl5= as if the precise spot on which 6 hody of troops was to be at given time had not been fixed beforehand, ex- actlY as would be the case in real war.
 Field Notifications was another mili- tary subject on which there had been good deal of curiosity expended before hand, the questionable point being in what degree it is practicable for an army, or an army corps, to construct nasty defenses in the open, on the bat. tiefeld, or while in retreat.
