A Lift TIE PAST NJ E

1t is said that after the discovery of America
war dogs slaughtered not less than two thou
sand Indians.
The employment of dogs for lighting pur
poses continued in modern times. Emperor
Charles V. (I51S-1s56) received from England
four thousand dogs as subsidiary forces against
France. At Vaence French and Spanish dogs
joined battle, in which the latter remained
victors AS late in the seventeenth CEN
fury war dogs were used as scouts against the
Turks. In 1922 an assault on the Arlopolis of
Athens by the Greeks was frustrated by dogs
The French employed dogs in Tunis against
Arabian tribes. In Mexico in 1864 the dogs
of the Zaccateca volunteer corps proved the
most terrible adversaries of the Mexican
guerrillas until they were got nd of by poison
In the last Turko- Russian War (1877-IS7S
the Russians employed war dogs both in Eu-
rope and in Asia. The Austrians and Hol-
landers also used trained dogs successfully to
protect themselves against being surprised by
the enemy, and to find their adversaries IN
the impenetrable thickets.
To-day the dog is no longer employed as
fighter. He is trained to carry ammunition
to the battlefield, to guard the outposts, pre-
vent skirmishes from stealing at too close
range. forward letters and finally as samari-
tan in finding the wounded after battle.

THE DOGS OF WAR

THE dogs of war" is not a mere figure OF
speech. In remote times dogs were used
for war purposes Plutarch and Pliny relate
many instances; &c, of Agesilaus at the siege
of Mantinea, of Cambyses in his expedition to
Egypt, of the King of the Geromantians in
regaining his throne. .Eneas 1000 B. c. tells
of dogs that carried letters in their collars.
Also the Cimbrians and Teutons kept dogs.
These, however, were fighting dogs, justly
dreaded by the Roman soldiers.
The Roman military author, Vegetius. re-
ports that dogs were used in the fortified
towers to make known by their barking the
approach of the enemy and to keep the garri-
sons awake. Also, during the Middle Ages
war dogs were used for guarding camps and
bulwarks. Scotch bloodhounds were specially
reputed for tracking escaped prisoners. They
were also used for attacking the enemy's cav
airy, mutilating the horses with the prongs
and hooks of their coats of mail. To these
coats frepots were attached, which set the
camps fire. In the days of Granson and
Murten G47o), the battles started with a fight
of Swiss dogs against Burgundian dogs, and
at Murten the Burgundian dogs were dis
membered by their adversaries from the Alps.

DOLLY MAD1sON's cLOTHEsLINE

WHEN Speaker Cannon was chairman of the
w Appropriations Committee, John Wesley
Gaines of Tennessee made an impassioned
speech on the House floor. The occasion was
the introduction by Mr. Gaines of a resolu..
ton of inquiry concerning the disposition of
many relics taken from the White House.
Many of the historical pieces of furniture
that marked the different epochs in our
National life,' said Mr.. Gaines, now mark
what l call national dissertation. l know
of sideboards, chests, and chairs, once part
of the furnishings of the Executive Mansion,
that now decorate some of St. Louis's many
Saloons
At this juncture in the speech, Mr. Cannon
interrupted and asked for moments time,
which was granted. Mr.. Speaker, legend
tells us, he said, with twinkle in his eye,
that back in the time of Madison, the laun-
dry facilities were not SO good as they are
to-day. One wet day the mistress OF the
White House ordered that the clothes be dried
on a clothesline strung across the great East
room, and Mr.. Speaker that clothesine be-
came historic.
Raising his eyes heavenward, Mr.. Cannon
said with mock reverence. Great Heavens
what has become of that clothesline!' after
which Mr.. Gaines's argument became sadly
tangled up in the wave OF applause that fol-
lowed.

INVENTED LANGUAGES

TEN years ago. when Hog Latin was on
the tongue of every schoolboy. the young
sters who asked" Owha ouya ilesma!" thought
they were talking along original lines in a
kind of gibberish indigenous to their American
vouthfulness only: but the subterfuge to at
tain unintelligibility in reality very old
device. 1t is scarcely too strong to say that
the adding of the same consonant to the end
of a word has been known from time imme
mortal.
Hotten, diligent old antiquarian, relates
that the schoolboys of his day spoke the &c
gbberish'' or the IL gibberish,' in which
" How do you do?" would appear respectively
voul dole" Howvis dovis youvis doviss'
was a more ella borate form. and French school
bows iris villa bically said, FOnsdregne eSdregne

tagged mar to everything" cafemar" for
cafe, and in 1923 when the diorama was
the craze, everything ended in rama" In
Balzac's Father Goriot an old woman is
terribly puzzled by "sonfednrdmd" for
"Sonpe."
The &c gibberish" was very similar to
1.-The language of Ziph,' which De Quincey
three sons had acquired it at Winchester.
Fifty years later De Quincy conversed flu
emily in it with Lord Westport. The key OF
this language" which was impaired to
every Winchester boy for half guinea, was
the repetition of the vowel sound of every
svllab with G. inserted Thus, Shall we
60 away in an hour" became, 'Shagall wege
go agawagav agin gan hougC arr Bishop
Wilkins of Chester mentioned this language
in 1908 in learned work, and it was an old
device in his time.

THE EGOTISM OF ENGLISH

THE English use of the capital | is one of
the oldest features of the language: that
is, to d foreigner.
If Frenchman writes with reference to
himself, he makes lie (the French equivalent
of y with a small j. So with the German,
who may use capitals to begin every noun
he always uses the small in writing ieh. The
Spaniard avoids, as far as possible, the use of
the personal pronoun when writing in the
first person; but he always writes it 20, taking
pains, however, to begin the Spanish equiva-
lent of our you" with a capital.
