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,
50 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 andposts
finally he is taught to be vigilant and
make known the approach OF any
stranger to tie post. Training to fiji
them for search after the missing is
not usually required. 1t would have
result only in rare cases-except IL
the use of dogs by sanitary corps, di-
visions of volunteer nurses, etc, to
whom in case of war specially trained
dogs will 10 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, wher
individual dogs show themselves especi
ally fitted for it and the teacher pos
sesses great aptness in impressing OF
the deg his duties this direction.

Widest Part of the United States.

Assistant Chief Goode of the United
States Geological Survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the
widest region Of the entire United
States is an area of !, 900 square miles
lying in the mountains between Rose
burn and CoQuiIlo, in DougIns and
Coos counties. He describes it as 4
mysterious and undiscovered country,
in which wild game roams undisturbcd,
and whose brooks and rivers are filled
with wild fowl. 1t is nearly all covered
with dense growth Of pine, fir, hem
lock and other trees, Many OF the
trees are of enormous size, and stand 50
closely TINT it is difficult for men to
make their way between them. Where
the trees are not so thick the heavy
growth Of bushes OF various kinds
takes their place, 1t is II country that
il filled with all kinds of wild game,
including ms reported to him, elk, differ
cnt kinds of bear, mountain hons,
deer, and other animals, including
lynXcs. There are also the varied kinds
of fowl The streams all have an alum
dance Of trout and other kinds OF fish.
| He penetrated into the wilds II dozen
miles and saw things that filled him
with wonder at the yastness OF the for
est, and that anyone should attempt to
live in it. Northwest Magazine

The cocoa bean, from which chUco-
late and cocoa are made, is the seed
of mushy pod, something like a
melon, which is the fruit OF the cocoa
tree. The pod is not edible. The
cocoa tres is found in all tropical
countries, and over score Of varieties
are known to the commercial world,
Central America, Mexico, Northern
South America. the West and East
Indies and Brazil send the cocoa beans
to Europe and America. The best of
all is the igh-grade Caracas cocoa,
but this grade does not come to
America, for the American people are
not yet educated up to cocoa at 81 a
pound.
The cocoa bean is about the size OF
=, pecan nut and reddish chocolate in
color. The shell is thin and brittle
and easily breaks when pinched lightly.
The kernel Of the bean it called the
nib, and it is from the nibs that
chocolate and cocoa are made. The
beans are brought 10 the ChlcaSo
works in the bags in which they We're
shipped, and are carried to the top
floor and roasted. The roasting is
done in cylindrical machine which
turns slowly around over coal fire.
The bean is roasted for the purpose
of making the shells so brittle that
they will come off easily. As soon Us
the beans are placed in the rooster
the skill and care of the workmen
come into play, for the cocoa bean
must have its heat and cold just SO Of
something will go wrong. The hea'
in the rooster must be just right, anc
when the roasted beans are taken out
and placed in large boxes they mus
be cooled properly or the cocoa vii
suffer. Chicago Record.

One town in Germany has reason to
rejoice over the rapid rise in value OF
New York real estate, and that town
is Waldorf. William Waldorf Aston
will spend much OF his time there this
year. The millionaire has just begun
to take the liveliest interest in the
little place that gave the first John
Jacob to the world, and the name OF
which will be hereafter borne by the
heir of the greatest branch of the
house of Astor. A memorial fountain
is to be placed there and various local
benefactioas have already been made.
The name of Aston is even now a very
great one in Waldorf, and the small
dignitaries of the place were on the
point of organizing festival in honor
OF the patron, which was to have been
graced by the presence OF Mr.. Aston
this year. But Mrs. Astor's death
interfered with the plan.
The eccentric little old man who
totes Mr.. Astor's personal belongings
about and does his best to be body
servant, is Walldorfan specimen OF
humanity. Indeed, there is large
faction in Waldorf claiming to be re-
lated to the house Of Aston through
common descent, AID the funny old
Walldorhal seems to have some sucl
notion of himself. There is even {
movement in Waldorf to have thu
name of the place changed to Astor. -
