persons say that they dreamed SO much

dreaming is as much rest or mental

Bravery. -
A French paper has published a roll
of honor of dogs which have dis
tinguished themselves in war. This
is not inappropriate, considering that
the dog has been pressed into military
service. For instance, there was Bob,
the mastiff of the Grenadier Guards,
which made the Crimean campaign
with that corps; and also Whltepaw, q
brave French alley Of Bob, that made
the same campaign with the ll6th OF
the line and was wounded in defend
ing the flag.
Another, Moustache, was entered
on the strength of his regiment as en-
titled to grenadier's rations. The
barber had orders to clip and comb
him once a week. This gallant ami
NAL received a bayonet thrust at
Marengo and recovered flag at Aus
terlitz. Marshal Lannes had Nous,
tache decorated with medal attached
to his neck by red ribbon. Corps
de Garde followed soldier to Maren.
90. was wounded at Austerlitz, and
perished in the retreat from Moscow.
The 9Th of the Guard had a military
mastiff named Misere, which wore
three white stripes sewn on his black
hair. There was also Pompon OF the
48th Bedouins, the best sentry OF the
baggage train; Loutpute, a Crlmean
heroine; Mitraille, killed at 1nkermar
by a she'll; Mofino, that saved hl'
master in Russia and was lost or los
himself, but found his way alone from
Moscow to Milan, his first dwelling
