Charles r. Wallrafr to the Chamber of
Congress at its regular November met

The Chamber promptly responded that
there was nothing the matter with

the purpose of the organization to cor

Mr.. Viewers position was that better
results could be obtained from the
booklet itself by putting it into the
hands OF the proposed expert secretary.
Mr. Wallran then replied that that term
had been typical of Washington bust
ness as far as It related to concerted ac-
ton in the past, and he hoped that this
new Chamber Of Commerce would not
follow that example any longer.
Arthur c. Moses, PercivaI NJ. Brown,

1T is TO LAUGH.
You Cannot Now Be Popular Without
Knowing 1t.

When the terms for singing LESSONS
had been agreed upon the teacher
said:
For SO cents a week extra l will
give you a lesson in laughing, too"
"Laughing?" exclimed the prospect,
tive pupil. What shall laugh at?'
"Anything-nothing But you must
laugh if you expect to be popular
What is more, you must laugh out
loud. The days of ultra-retinement,
when merriment could be properly eX-
pressed only by smirk and SMILE
are happily passed. People laugh
heartily nowadays, but at the same
time they should laugh musically.
That is, they ought to put a few sill
very notes into their peals of joy, and
those who are wise enough to study
laughing do put them there. I'm
not so we'll patronized as they should
be-. AS yet the laughter of most peo-
ple is a series of cacophonious coughs.

the prospective pupil, but had a

The teacner threw back her head
and emitted a merry Naturalization
of her own.
There" she said, you ought tC
laugh like that. Of course all laughs
cannot sound alike. There is the so
prano laugh, the contralto laugh and
the mezzo laugh, the laugh 'he-he,
the laugh ha-ha, and the laugh 'ho
ho. The quality of a persons laugh
is largely determined by temperament
but no matter what its natural tone
it can be trained into thing of beau
ty. Nowadays all students of singing
are advised to look for their laugh
Many have accepted the suggestion
and in six months from now any gir
who aspires to shine socially mus

head sadly.

afford it. If it comes to the worst
shall have to swear off on laughing al

Recipe for Success.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema r. A,
whose marvellous painting, 'Carcacalla
and Geta"-which contains no fewer
than $500 figures-is attracting so
much attention, is one of the most
painstaking and conscientious artists
living; so exacting that if canvas
fails to satisfy his almost hypercritical
taste he will destroy it, though ii
may represent the work of many
months. Hard work, and plenty Of
it, is his recipe for success; and
there are few mornings in summer
that he is not at his easel at four
or five o'clock. Many people," he
says, are surprised when they hear
that have visited Greece or Egypt

DOG SOLDIERS UNDER FIRE,
Successful Recent Experiments Made
In the German Army.

The use of dogs for military pur.
poses has proved so successful in Ger
many that the dog soldier is continu-
ally being taught new things. Near
Dresden recently there was a test of
skill which was a great revelation Of
their Accomplishments
Two mOcpanies of soldiers separated
a distance of a mile and quarter, one
Of them, supposed to be an outpost in
the face OF an enemy, communicated
for some time by the aid Of dogs
trained to 80 back and forth. Each
time the distance betweCnthe two COM
panies was trayersed by the days in
less than two minutes, IN spite Of in
tense heat and great deal of con
fusing firing.
The special object Of the use Of
these fast dogs is to enable detach-
ments of inform themselves of the
speed at which the enemy is approach.
ing and SO to maintain position up
to the last moment practicable.
On the same occasion the cartridge
dogs performed their peculiar duty
wrich is to supply the troops with
cartridges during a rapid 1uslllade.
Zach dog wears kind Oh pack saddle
wniCn carries 800 cartridges. With
this load he travels up and down the
line of men, who help themselves to
cartridges as they have need.
AS soon as the pack saddle is empty
the dog, at command, makes on at
full speed to get it replenlshed.
livery one has heard of the dogs OF
the "pious monks of st. Bernard,
which are supposed to have a sort OF
monopoly of the accomplishment OF
serving the wounded and helpless and
| calling assistance for them. But the
German military hive dogs trained to
search out and attend the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs of the ambulance corps
are trained to divided duties. Some OF
them, carrying a little flash of water
or restorative, simply sit and bark Oh
bay near the body of fallen man
Others have been trained to so In
search of assistance and guide a sol
dier of the ambulance corps.
The trained dogs performed al
these functions very skillfully at the
recent trial near Dresden. 1t is plair
that the German army, if it should be
engaged in another war, would be &C
companied by a greater number o
dogs than ever before accompanied al
army on a campaign.

being in the aisle end of one of the
cross seats with its back toward the
front of the car. That seat l took,
and then, of course, the car was ex-
actly full.
"At the next station a man came in
at the rear door of this car and walked
forward opposite the one in which I
was sitting, and at the next station
the person sitting by the aisle in this
cross seat opposite me got up to go.

1t was asserted by Aristotle that no

ebbing of the tide. This idea in some
form or another has been popular for
centuries.
Such a notion, find, still exists at
Gravesend An old salt who used to
sit by a dying man in an ale house on
the shore of the Thames told me he

According to Aristotle and Mr.. Peg
