POLICE DOGS OF BELGIUM.
Shepherds Chosen as the Most Watch
full Foes of the Grim
inal Class.

\ The police of Belgium have their
strongest allies, the rogues, their most
watchful foes, in the dogs that are at
tached as auxiliaries to the police de-
partment of the kingdom. The dogs
Of Gems D'Armes,'' as the thieves call
them hatefully, are trained at stations
at st. GILES and Shaerbeek, outside this
city; Mons. Charlerov, Sha Antwerp and
Louvain. At the St. Giles police bar
racks there is now an auxiliary dog for
each man.
The dogs usefulness is widening: they
are beginning to train dogs at Antwerp
and other frontier posts for the Dutch
custom house service, to catch snug
glers.
The Beance shepherd dog is chosen for
the police service; bloodhounds. mas
this, and dogs of other ferocious breeds
are not trained for it. The dogs from
Brance, the meadow country of France,
are supposed to have a far remote wolf
cross. They are patient, persistent, ten
acious creatures, whether holding thief
or keeping sheep in the marching line
of the flock.
The Beance dog has stronger scent
than it has been credited with. Some
police auxiliaries have learned to dis
tinguish the smell of dynamite and 9TH
er explosives and to understand what
this odor may mean when it fingers on
the hands of an anarchist.
The Beance dog, too, is taught to take
to the water, but it is not so much at
home there as Newfoundland. How
ever, its very muzzle is must useful in
saving the drowning. A police dog
named Tom, promoted for good work,
from Client to Brussels, has saved three
children at different times.

which will give you the fold at c. Bring
G over to D, and then fold the corner Of
the seat in as the dotted line DE. Turn
the trousers over and follow the same
method with the other leg, and they
should then be in as compact form as
diagram II. exhibits. This plan has
the double advantage of leaving few
creases; and If the garment should by
any means get soiled, the inside only
of the leg is exposed, so that any mark
made would be out of sight. Care must
be exercised to smooth the trousers
out we'll after each fold, and they should
be laid over the back of q chair for some
little time when they are unpacked.

Saving ANTIQUITIES for Soionce.

Saving Antiquities 1Or So4<mce. 1
Within few years past so lively q
trade has grown, up in antiquities from
New Mexico and other parts of the
southwest that an earnest protest has
recently been uttered on behalf Of an,
thropological science. The destruction
OF i ancient ruins and the scattering
abroad of relics left by extinct or dis,
appearing races are regarded as serious
menace to the scientific study of Amer
ican archaeology. Representations made
to the department Of the interior have
resultedin the issuing OF orders to local
government officers and agents of the
land office intended to secure the pro-
lection of antiquities In New Mexico,
Arizona and Colorado. It is also pro-
posed to attain the same end by special
legislation.-Youth's Companion.

CHAPTER w.

/ April was near it's end. The hills
were turning green, albeit we could
see, here and there on the high ledge
above us, little patches of snow-the
fading footprints of winter. Day and

He had also proclaimed there would be

Getting New Business.

The old fashioned idea that it would
be contrary to the ethics of banking
for a conservative financial institution
to make public bid for new business
through newspaper advertising has
been pretty effectively exploded. Bank
advertising is almost as common now
adays as shoe or grocery advertising,
and equally effective. The Philadel-
phis Record cites the experience of
the Commercial State bank of Grand
Island, Nebraska, a. typical. By four
years of dignifed publicity it has
built up volume Of deposits equal to
that which it took a competitor 20
years to accumulate. 1t is rs easy to
influence people in the disposition OF
their savings as it is to guide them in
their spending.

The Busy rlan's Garden.

Most busy men leave home early in
the morning aud get back late in the
evening But they generally have one
or two hours of daylight and Satur-
day afternoons in which they can find
health, pleasure aud profit. by digging
it out of the front and back yards.
The only reason more men do not
have fine yards and gardens is because
they are too lazy. Here are some sug-
gestions for those who desire to work
small city lots:
In the front some climbers will be
wanted to drape and shade the porch
or veranda. For a south side or end the
Virginia Creeper will give dense
shade, and there is nothing better for
the purpose on the north east or west.
may be planted Clematis paoniculata
or G. Jackmanni, and Halls Honey
suokle is very desirable If the hous e
is a brick or stone the Japan Ampelop-
sis or Boston Ivy can be planted at the
base of the wall and it will quickly
furnish large space with its shining
green foliage If the house is a wooden
one the same vine can be planted to
run in the foundation wall and be
kept restricted to that. This produces
very pleasing effect
There is no room at the front OF the
lot for large trees, but near the corner
most remote from the house may be
planted an Althea or Rose of Sharon,
or a Japan Ounce. The rest of the
front is free-merely the lawn. Op-
posite the middle of the house and Oh
the far side of the lot near the line
may be little group of Towering
shrubs, say, Weigela roses, Spirea
BinardI and Hardy Hydrangea; these
will give bloom from early to late.
On the back lot may be trained some
hardy climbing vines, or if not they
will be covered by foliage or shrub
berry. Around the lines of the back
lot, sides and end, make a garden bord
er for hardy shrubs and Towering
plants. This border may be uniform
width of four or five feet, bat the
straight lines VIII look somewhat stiff
so, instead of running the line OF th'
border straight, make 1t waving, run
ming in and out. in easy, gentle curves
making the border from four 80 sever
feet in width and there will be from
seyenty-five to a hundred feet of it il
length, according TO the size of th'
lot. Here are to be planted Towering
shrubs aud hardy Towering plants
Your nursery man will tell you wha
is best suited to your climate. Th'
rest of the ground is to be kept al
open lawn.
