In Holland and Belgium the dog
occupies the place which the donkey
dcel in several other countries. In
the former, the. sight Of q couple Of
dogs dragging along a pushcart
loaded with vegetables, flowers or
shining milk cans Is a familiar one.
They trot along underneath the
cart, within easy reach Of the blunt
toe of the sabot Of the woman, who
walks behind it to guide it by the
handles attached at that point. In
Belgium the dogs are hitched in
front, as the Russians attach their
horses to their droskies, three
abreast. and are guided by. pair. of
rope reins fastened to, muzzle
about the nose Of the dog in the
middle.

nifty of showing his affection for the
lady of his choice, exclaimed:

wish / was the happy man."

Mr. Knapp explained in detail the re-

effect these actions would have in secur-
