TRAINING WATCHDOGS.


man Instructor.
Although 1t Is generally believed that
watchdogs are ito the manner born"
II seems that certain amount of train
Ing helps very much TO turn out real
Iy good one. This system of training
has developed into regular business
In Berlin. where one Herr Straus has
an academy from which watchdogs
are turned out by the hundred every
year.
His system Is educational and Is aD
piled to almost every kind of dog. lie
first teaches the animal obedience by
training 1t to perform certain tricks"
at command and then trains ii to dis
tingusb between a visitor and bur
glar and what part Of mans body
should be attacked To render the man
helpless.
Outside of the gate the trainer places
a dummy representing the burglar. and
to the latch Is attached string. BY
means of the string the gate is opened
slowly, until the head OF the dummy
becomes visible, when the dog is
taught to fly at its throat. Herr Straus
Is very particular about this. He makes
his dogs attack the throat or the upper
part of the body always. Sometimes a
real man well padded takes the place
Of the dummy. and of course he Is well
paid for his services.
All dogs, 1t seems. may be made good
watchdogs, but the st. Bernards and the
Russian wolfhounds are the best where
property Of great value is to be guard
ed. For dogs not so fierce as they are
They soon learn to guard anything
committed to their care. but are not so
quick to attack an intrader as the
dercer dogs are.-Philadelphia Times.

came to the United States where he
believed that he could find a field for
his talents In the Centennial EXPOSE
tion which was about to be held in
Philadelphia. Through his efforts the
exhibit OF China was one OF the best
at this historic exposition and the
Americans who met him declared that
he was the most brilliant Chinaman
with whom they had ever become ac-
quainted. He lived In luxurious style
and his wealth seemed to be mex
haustible. After the exposition he
returned to Europe and entered the
Heidelburg University. where he took
degree in civil engineering and
minor course In surgery. For son>n
time after this II IL not known what
he did. but he eventually returned TO
the United States and located In
Philadelphia. where he continued TO
live In princely style. Later he went
to Baltimore and established q syndl-

all great men LcuHE Sing had many
enemies. One of these was Eng Fee
Hoy. anothc mandarin of the province
of Canton. Leans was liberal in his
ideas: Eng was a conservative OF the
naTTowest type. The growing power
of tsauug was a constant menace TO

conservative determined that the
young liberal must be crushed. with

LeunE Sing received an appointment

French. German and Italian nuently
and his company was sought by the
leaders of all those nations in the

was not versed In the art of duelling
