Useful Detectives.

On the continent dogs play very
useful part in detective work. Van

Client, noting the keen instinct of dogs,
was the first who entertained the idea
of employing those animals as a help

whom the gendarmes We're unable 10
cope, 50 Van Wesemael in the year
1899, put into shape his idea. He trained
three dogs at first, chiens policiers he
called them, and they turned out to be
a success and an invaluable aid TO the
custodians Of the peace. After q time
the chiens policiers were increased to a
dozen, and from the moment of their
Inauguration crime in the city began to
diminish. Struck by the success which
attended Van Wesemaers dogs, the
French and German authorities began
TO use the four-footed detectives also.
In Client at the present day thirty
dogs are employed. These dogs are re-
cruited from the sheep dog species. The
dogs that are likely to make good de-
tectives are picked out. and for the
first fifteen days are kept close to their
kennels, and no one is allowed to APP
proach them or coax to them except
familiar with the uniform. Then each
dog gets his outfit, collar with his
name on it and a cloak. When the
gendarmes are told off for night duty,
each gendarme is supplied with a dog,
and both man and dog set out for their
beat. The dog is muzzled. When the
dog scents anything wrong he gives
notice to his companion by short banks
or growls. and then the gendarme
loosens the muzzle and the wrongdoer,
if there be one, is cornered. The dog

For Friends in Fur and Feathers.

The NorWegians are great bird lovers
and often fix boxes and followed logs
in the trees to induce little birds. tt

taken to protect their dwellings, and
leather bands. studded with spikes, are
placed round the trees so that when cats

And I guess you must think I'm baby

What good would forty heads do her?

For I've hit it over and over, and it

But since the darling is dead, she'll
want to be buried of course;
We will take my little wagon. Nurse,

And I'll walk behind and cry; and we'll

This dear little boX-and We'll bury her

And papa will make me tombstone,

Five mornings before the great day

the proverbial fairy forest, it has sprung
up in a single night.
The sale of the Christbaume, as the
Germans call them, is presided over by
ruddy faced peasant women who in
spite of the biting cold look as if they
enjoyed their employment. Perhaps no
better example could be cited of what

The chiId's Rest.

Few persons recognize the importance
Of the conditions which surround a
child's sleep. Yet upon these conditions
depend even more than upon those of
waking hours the physical state of the
child.
The mattress for childs bed should
be firm and not too soft. If any pillow
at all is useG-and it is best not to have
one-it should be a small pillow stuffed
with hair. Never load the bed with
blankets. Let the cover be light and
warm. Also remove the Counterpart, or
coverlid. at night. Never let a child
sleep on feather bed. Children should
sleep alone Each child should have his
own space in the closet. so that method
and neatness may be instilled from the
first. Care should be taken that the
child use his own hairbrush and wash
cloth.

POWDERED LIME IN HAY

that there can be no sour stomach, gas

CARING FOR AN ORPHtN COLT

An orphan colt can be raised by
hand successfully if a little care is
taken. 1t should be fed on cows milk,
but the COW should be fresh if pos
sible.
Do not feed the milk at its normal
strength, but weaken with one-third
water-that is, to two parts milk put
one part warm water.
The mixture should be sweetened a
little with sugar and given when about
the temperature of a. mares milk.
At the end of two weeks the guam.
tity of water may gradually be reduced
and the amount of milk increased until
the water is left off altogether Don't
forget to sweetcn the milk at all
times.
Whenever possible the milk should
be given Immediately after milking it
from the COW. II it is desired, a fresh
egg may be added three times a day.
1t will be strengthened and will
make the colts hair sleek and glossy.
The quantity of milk given should
be governed by ones judgment. Some
colts require more than others, but be
careful not to overfeed, for the colt
may take the scours. Until the colt
is a month old it will be necessary to
feed it three or four times each day.
To teach the colt to drink from a
pail is not a very great task. Put your
finger in his mouth and lower your
hand into the milk He will get a
taste of the milk and soon you can slip
your fingers from his mouth and he
will proceed without you.
If he proves obstinate. wrap a goose
quill with a strip of cloth and use 1t
as a nipple in a bottle or purchase a
nipple from a drug store.
Good care must be taken of the pail
from which the colt drinks. 1t should
be scaided each time 1t is used.
Never use sour or skinned milk II
you would avoid bowel troubles.
| Give clean water between feeds
Let him run in the yard and soon he
will be nipping the green grass.
| After while he will be eating dry
bran from your hand if you put a little
sugar with it.
Soon you will be able to feed him
some grain, and then your hardest
work is over.-W. D. Neale.
