Training ST, Bernard Dogs.

The training of the rescue dogs of
the Hospice of st. Bernard, on the
Alps is really very simple. During
the summer months, when the monks
are not so busy. some of the assistants
at the monastery take the young dogs
out into the valleys or hollows, where
there is always snow. One man will
go and lie down in the snow and bury
himself in it, and then dog is sent to
look after him. The animal is taught
to bark when he has found him. and
also to rouse the man up If he is
asleep. When the man wakes UP and
stands on his feet the dog leads him
to the hospice. running along in front
to show him the way.

Many man imagines that his wife

ity, when, as a matter of truth, she
despises him for a tightwad.
No matter how quiet and sedate you
are about it, your wife is firmly inn
bued with the idea that you can't take
bath without splashing around like a
COW. So splash. splash, and have the
fun!

who looks UP coyly into the married
mans face and purrs: Il wonder why
it is that all the real nice men are
married." doesn't get by with it near
ly so often as she supposes.
During the courtship: "No, Gawge,
deah. Please don't order anything to
eat for me. I so rarely get hungry, you
know" After the honeymoon: well,
it's a wonder you wouldn't take me
somewhere to eat-I'm positively fam
ished!"
Don't put anything in the way of
his seeing his affinity constantly, and
he'll surely tire of her." quoth the
dead-wise dowagers. But it doesn't al
ways work out that way. Octavia tried
that system with Marc Antony, and
Affinity Cleopatra won in walk.

settled down softly over thick bed of
daisies bordering the Brook and a

The Brook gurgled gravely on, its

silently down over the winding stream,
