Dogs Trained in War.

In all the European armies save that
of Britain canine intelligence is en-
ployed in the role Of spies, messengers
AID aids to the wounded. The Italian
sentries in the Alps are always accom-
panied by dogs! the Dutch found them
in Achecn invaluable In preventing the
butchery Of sentinels by stealthy foes;
the Russians employed them to some
extent in their last war with Turkey;
the French have used them In Tunis
and Algiers, and the Austrians utilize
them in the detection of ambuscades.
The dogs employed by the Russians are
wolf and sheep dogs, and species of
st. Bernard, and equipped with pack
ages and bandages around their nesks
and TASKS of soups or brandy, are
taught to find the hidden wounded,
offer them restoratives, give the alarm,
and afterward, IL necessary, to draw
them on little hand carts to the hos
pital. The Germans use pointers,
Scotch collies, Pomeranians and short
haired sporting dogs, which are trained
to march silently, indicating strangers
by point or low growl, to carry
messages some miles, to obey men in
the German uniform and to halt all
others.

Mental CROWN or Ch,Idren.

Very often we read OF cases where
parents are deceived In the zelzxsa cter
Of their children. The truth is, they
grow up much faster than parents are
aware. - Nos!oA 10"
While a mother innocently believes
her little girls mind Is entirely occu-
pied with her dolls and her pets, in
reality the child Is weaving romances
In which some callow youth is the cen
trail figure, and herself the heroine.
She may fancy her boy isentirely en-
crossed with his marbles and his balls,
but the lad himself has already deter
mined his future career Of renown In
the pirates or hIghwayman's fascina-
ting profession. -
1t Is terrible revelation when sur
reptitious filtration with the telegraph
messenger, or a midnight escapade.
shows too plainly where the heart of
the child Is placed.
We know z case In which q boy of
10 was charged with n crime, and final
ly confessed himself guilty. The sur
prise and agony of his mother were
heartrending. "It cannot be-" was her
cry, "he is little boy. Why, he is my
baby. Every night he puts his arms
around my neck and kisses me. 1t Is
not possible"
Had the boy actually been a babe in
the cradle the mother would have been
no more astonished. 1t is fiction
pleasing to the parents hearts that
their children are but children, too
young to know or dream Of any evil
more heinous than childish peccadil-
Ices. But 1t Is a fiction fraught with
grave perils. Every mother ought to
know IL her boy smokes. Yet we can
point to half-doZen boys who puff
along the streets, whose mothers firmly
believe them to be angels Of light and
would be Indignantly incredulous If
told the facts.

When Wc Groyy Old.

One of the first surprises that people
have as they begin to realize that they
are leaving the record of goodly num-
Der of years behind them, is that peo-
pie think they are old. Casual remarks
to that effect made before them come
as a distinct shock. The spirit does not
grow old; it is merely hampered by
physical infirmities, and more particu-
larry public opinion.
People are made old; they give up
youthful practices because people think
they should, though that was more in
the past than in the present. There IS
no doubt that people, women particu-
larly, lost much of their physical force
because as they grew older 1t was
proper" for them to give up this and
that and settle down. Now that grand

Germany's Hoard of Gold.

A dispatch from Berlin to the Chicago
Tribune, says that the thriceloc
vaults of the Spandau fortress were
opened few days ago for the annual
examination by the Secretary of the
Treasury to see that the S9O,OOO,O0O in

as q fund for first expenses in the next
great war, was all right. Baron Won

dom, counted the gold in them, counted
the number of bags and weighed the
whole amount. Some dozens of work
men were occupied for several hours
in the grotesque medieval function.
The sum eats up $3,000,OOO interest
yearly.

Red-Hot Journalism.

There is good deal of 'ginger" in
Newfoundland journalism. The ST.
Johns Telegram recently referred 10
the editor Of the st. Johns Herald rs
"a palsied brat" and "a nervous para
lytic," whereupon the latter printed the
following indictment of his hated ri
val:
That he Is soaked with rum.
That he Is always drunk when n
crisis arrives.
That he washes himself only twice a
year.
That he is always placed in the ships
hold when travelling.
That the hotels decline to receive
him as a guest.
That his mere presence in a city is
standing proof that the public health
Is not properly attended to.

for in the sinking, and raising again,
as well as in all the turnngs in the
water, not the slightest shock is OBJ
servable. Every motion is made with
the most perfect ease and grace, and
this thirty onc-ton man-of-war disports
itself in the deep as naturally as por-
poise.
The interior of the boat can be made
as light as desired. A wire loop runs
from the dynamo, on which are three
incandescent lights. The boat can be
raised and lowered at the rate of three
feet n second. and she dives In the
water as readily as duck in response
to an almost imperceptible pressure by
the pilot. AS experimental with up to
date the boat has been run at rate Of
fourteen miles an hour on the surface
of the water, while an approximate
speed OF ten miles has been attained
under the water, but for all ordinary
trips she has been run at rate of from
three to five miles per hour. The in
ventor and the members of the syndi-
cate express themselves as satisfied
with this speed as being sufficient for
all practical purposes, at least at pres
ent.
The problem Of the air in the boat
was vital one, in the full sense OF the
term. Here again one encounters a
carefully guarded secret as to the full
details, but It Is known that the air is
mixed on the boat-"mixed" being the
term employed by Mr.. Raddatz instead
of manufactured" 1t Is kept pure by
the chemical generation of oxygen and
the carbonlc acid gas in the air in the
boat is absorbed by caustic potash,
caustic soda and lime.

IL IL Located TOO Feet Below the Level
of Idaho's Plains.

~ IL Located TOO Feet Below the Level
of Idaho's Plains.
On Snake River I'm Southern Idaho,
twenty miles south of the little town
OF Shoshone and near the Great Sho-
shone falls, Is located the strangest
farm In the world. 1t Is nothing but
a hole in the ground, 700 feet below
the surface, and embraces over GOO
acres. But this ''hole In the ground
has been transformed into a veritable
paradise.
For ages and ages this Devils cor
raj" as 1t was known by prospectors,
had been standing silent arS I'M
known. No one had the temerity 10
Chamber down the steep cliffs that sur
round 1t until a few years ago when Il
venturesome spirit, thinking that goll
might be found in the depths of the
rock-walled basin, made the descent.
He located mine and began to work
II, but his progress is not worth re-
cordlng. Burt Perrine, young man
from Indiana, seeking his fortune in
the West, went to see the Great Sho-
shone falls and also took view of this
satanic corral. The place impressed
him so favorably as a location for Il
ranch, truck farm or fruit farm that he
bought the miners claim to the basin
and became owner of 1t.
Perrine made a survey of the place
and found that there were APO acres
that could be worked. In spite OF the
jeers of his friends he began the task
of transforming ii into productive
area. This was no easy job. BY Il
great deal of hard work he managed
TO blaze out along the rocky descent,
trail down which pack animals could
travel. To do the work necessary
down in the corral Perrine had to have
wagons, scrapers, harrows. plows,
powder and dynamite and these had 20
be lowered with ropes over n perpen-
dicular lava wall about 700 feet in
height. There were also other things
that pack animals couldn't carry and
these had to be let down in the same
manner But the most difficult task of
all was the building of road up the
700 feet of miscellaneous precipice.
The droyer had some idea of survey
ing and with the assistance of n great
deal of dynamite and powder succeed
ed in constructing a winding roadway,
that goes in and out, back and forth,
between lofty cliffs in Its descent.
After Infinite labor the bottom land
was cleared and the soil has proved TO
be very productive. Among other
things growing on the farm are 5000
fruit trees. There are two beautiful
lakes near by and these have been
piped for irrigating purposes. In win
ter the weather is much warmer than
on the plains above.

Havana has one of the most beauti-

The beautiful memorial Is called the
Monument to the Students. Sons OF
Cubans attending the University Of
Havana have always been against the
Spanish rule on the island and have
had anti-tyranny clubs. One night fif-

incipient revolutionists, bubbling over
with the foolish patriotic enthusiasm

and smeared the tomb of a dead cap
