first named country that they are made

first named country that they are made
the most use Of.
Since 1888 Prussia has employed va
rlous kinds Of dogs for this purpose,
Including short-haired German point
ers, spaniels, and sheep dogs Two
dogs are appointed to each company
each being under the command OF q
sergeant, while lieutenant has the
command Of the whole Of the han
dlers."
Almost the whole of the time OF
these men Is given up to the training
of the dogs under their care. They
teach them to carry dispatches and de-
liver cartridges to the fighting line, TO
search for wounded or fallen soldiers,
and, when they have found them, to
bark until assistance arrives.
II they cannot attract any attention
by barking they carry back the wound
ed mans cap or tear off a piece Of his
clothing and carry 1t to the hospital,
when the attendants return with them
to the wounded soldier aud convey him
to the hospital.
Give tho Alarm.
Another clever trick OF theirs is to
give an alarm at the approach Of an
enemy, German being dressed up in
the clothes of foreign soldier for the
purpose. In the early part of their
education they are taken out with an
old dog who thoroughly understands
the work The young dog is first Of
all taught to find lost articles, this con-
stltuting the beginning OF the delivery
of dispatches,
One Of the handlers, as the soldiers
who train and look after the dogs are
called takes the young dog away, puts
a dummy dispatch into the small leath-
er pocket in the dogs collar, and
starts him off to find his master. Most
Of the dogs are exceedingly fond of this
kind Of work, which can be readily un-
derstood by all who possess dogs and
have noted the eagerness they display
to carry home walking stick or a
basket, or take 1t to any particular per-
son ordered by its master.
Another important part Of the work
OF a war dog is bringing up ammuni-
ton during fight. When the battle
has commenced, the handler takes up
a stand near the ammunition wagon
with the dog. AS soon as he sees am
munition Ia wanted, he loads the ami
NAL with 150 cartridges, carried In a
double saddle bag, half OF the cart
ridges on either side.
Thus loaded, the intelligent beast
does his best to reach the line of sharp
shooters, and, IL successful, returns
Immediately, and so continues the
work until the battle is over, or, as
would be certain to happen sometimes,
he himself Is killed. 1t has been proved
that II dog Is wounded while carry
ing out his duties, he can seldom be
induced to again venture near the
place where he has been shot.
However, the faithfulness Of the dogs
as a. rule is wonderful, and, when load
ded with ammunition they will never
allow the cartridges to be taken from
them by soldiers Of another battalion,
and sometimes only by those Of their
own company, so well are the dogs
taught to know the division to which
they belong.
The Germans find that the best
trainers for the dogs are the men Of
the lager regiments. These men are

"In selecting a wife, said a man
whose success in such selection
has been conspicuous, to a Boston
Traveller man, always 90 by the
mother of the girl. It's Il good
rule, and I've never yet known it
to fail. There's good long
stretch of future before most
people who make up their minds
to get married, and for consider
able portion of that stretch the
girl will be much more like her
mother than like herself. It's
easy enough to choose a wife so
far as the present is concerned,
but if yon want to know something
of your wife for the future you
should take her mother into &c
count. When you see a truly
charming mother you may be
pretty sure that her daughter is
to be depended upon when she
reaches the same age, Long be-

TATTOOING TURKEYS.
Eastern Farmers Express Their Pa
triotic Sentiment on the Birds.

Westerly, r. L. Nov. 17.-This is
turkey time in Rhode Island, and the
country for miles around is strewn with
of choice stock has been ordered from
North Stonington, Conn, and Rhode
Hand turkey farms for shipping to
New York and Boston for the thanks
giving trade.
This year the turkey farmers are tat
tooing for patriotism. Some Of the
birds are marked with hot needles and
have a strong savorfng OF patriotism.
Some of the birds are marked Dewey
and Victory, Thanksgiving, 1885, others
'fHObsOn' or Sampson or 'Schley,"
according to the personal convictions of
the owners, while many turkeys are
branded "Our American Defenders"
1--WE Thank the Army and Navy" and
so on, with fine display OF American
colors interviewer.
These tattoo marks show very plainly
upon the turkeys, as the needles bring
the blood to the surface clearly, and the
farmers expect to receive an advance OF
80 per cent on stock so marked.
Horace VOz, who has for years made
it a point to send a fine Rhode Island
turkey to the White House every
Thanksgiving, will continue to observe
this custom this year. In addition, he
est live bronze turkey on his place, a.d-
dressed to Admiral Dewey. 1t is not
certain that this turkey will reach its
destination, but Voz decided to chance
it and he sent the bird to an officer Of
the Iowa, with enough turkey food to
keep it in good condition on the long
journey to the Philippines.

FROM 20 TO 40 MILLIONS
Will Be offered to Spain for the Phil
ippines.

Washington, Nov. 17-Up to this
point the discussion at Paris having
touched on principle, there has been no
attempt to name exact figures in rela-
ton to the amount of money that might
be paid to Spain by the United States
on account of the Philippines. Such, for
instance, was the statement that the
for the pacific expenditures, made on
account of the Philippines, for no one
here at the time had an exact knOwl-
edge of what these expenditures
amounted to in the aggregate. This has
been ascertained however, to the salts
faction of the American commissioners
at least and they will name the exact
amount of money which the United
states is willing to pay over to Spain
on this account. What is proposed is a
cash payment to Spain for the United
States does not purpose to enter into
any relations whatever with any of the
holders of any of the bonds issued by
Spain, Notwithstanding the efforts of
some of the European powers to bring
this result about.
AS to the amount which will be offer
but it is believed to lie somewhere be-
tween $40 OO0, 900 and $40, 600 900. Our
commissioners do not look for an IN
conditional rejection of our offer but
believe there viii be an attempt on the
part of the Spanish commissioners to
secure a liberal increase of the amount
named The American commissioners
are under instructions to inform the
Spanish commissioners that there can
be no further delay In the final conclu-
sion Of the work of the commission so
that 1T is expected a conclusion, one
way or the other, will be reached before
long to the peace negotiations.

something would happen if the noise
wasn't stopped. The noise could not be

with feet that didn't match the irregular

MENACE TO HUMAN BEINGS.
New York Doctor Scores the Methods
of the Undertakers.

New York, Nov. 17.-'Unti1 the law
Of this state is changed there is moth
ing to insure US against being buried
alive, or killed by an undertaken" was
the DECLARE ton of DR.. Henry J. Garri-
CUES before the Society of Jurisprudence
last evening, and he was loudly ap-
plauded. His was the paper of the
evening at the meeting of the society.
Its subject was Apparent Death
DR.. Garrigues contends that the statute
as it stands today, which permits the
burial of a body without it's first having
been examined by a physician and by
him subjected to thorough tests to de-
terInine absolutely that life is extinct,
is nothing short of hOmicida1. For
through this criminal lack of necessary
precaution, he argues, there is nothing
to prevent anybody from being buried
alive or frozen to death in an under
takers ice box.
All rules and regulations governing
death in this city and state, he said in
his paper, are designed solely to protect
the community, with no thought of
protection for the person supposed to
be dead Any householder may fill out
a death certificate on which a burial
permit is issued. 1t is not even required
that the cause of death shall be certified
to by a physician. It is left to laymen
to say that death has occurred, and
doctor need not even see the body OF the
person supposed to be dead.
Undertakes kill persons, DR.. Garri-
CUES believes, and their chief accom-
plice in ending human life is the COM
mon rear norlalS nave OF oead pouleS-
a loved relative apparently dies in the
night. The living are afraid of the
dead, and at once send for the under
taker- He drags the supposed body out
of bed and claps it on ice where it would
be frozen to death anyway.
In the doctors opinion the regularly
authorized practitioner of medicine
could perform this duty perhaps with
greater safety, but in every instance,
he held, they should be required to GER
tify that they had personally examined
the body and to the presence or absence
of all signs of death.
Until such certificates are made
said the doctor, the supposed dead
should be treated as living, and moth
ing done that would pain or harm them
If alive. Until there is such a law there
is nothing to insure US against being
buried alive or killed by an under
taker."

NEW LAKE BOAT.
Large Passenger Steamer Being Built
in South Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. IA certain air of
mystery surrounds the building Of a
mammoth lake steamer whose keel has
just been laid by the Chicago Ship
building company at ats yards An South
Chicago. For whom the boat is order
ed, the route it will ply when finished,
detailed plans Of cOnstruction-these
facts are withheld In the shipbuilding
company's office. Employees said the
new boat Is to be a passenger steamer
of the highest lake type.
Its dimensions were given as 240 feet
on the water line, 40 feet beam and 25
feet depth. Triple expansion engines
and boilers of approved pattern will
furnish motive power. DynamOs for
electric lighting and steering and rose
wood finish for cabins and staterOoms
