THE DOGS OF BRUSSELS.
heIied c pom to stand Between Their
Masters and Danger.

6eIfed c pom to stand Between Their
Masters and Danger.
In Brussels, not long ago, very |
interesting congress took place In con-
nection with the competitions for dogs
trained for the defense OF their master
and his property and for police dogs.
The program under discussion was
divided into two sections, that for dogs
privately trained for the defense OF
their master and his property, and
that for police dogs. In the former
section dogs Of all kinds are used and
the matter of training is individual
and according to the owners personal
idea Belgium has an unenviable no
toriety In the matter of crime (prob-
ably due to It's lax punishments). and
solitary pedestrian in a lonely. I'M
frequented neighborhood has often a
poor chance even In daylight unless
armed.
At night even the outskirts OF the
towns and villages are unsafe, and this
Is why so many men whose occupa-
tions oblige them to face the risk Of
attack train their dogs to defend them.
| This idea has enormously developed Of
late years in Belgium, and competitive
trials are now numerous, which with
their good prizes and the high sums
for which trained dogs are often sold
greatly encourage the breaking in of
suitable dogs.
Many men in Brussels keep a dog
solely as a defense for going to and
from work, and on any large vacant
space OF ground one is sure to find
some man training his dog with this
purpose in view.
: Certain lessons must be learned fol
their own safety by the dogs used sole
ly for defense and police dogs, o.
whom is required more subtle intelli
gence. For instance, they must refus'
to accept food from any one, although
their master may not be present u
restrain them.
Another item settled on the program
was the height of the jumps requires
OF the dogs. Both defense and polio
! dogs must be able to jump fenc
boarding at least seven feet high, wit
maximum ordinarily of eight fee
, though some dogs can jump nearl
ten feet. With ditch OF over seve
feet to take first the hedge must b
: at least three feet high, and the an
mails, which jump at the word of CON
mand, must come back over the oil
stacle the instant they are called.
The dogs capabIlity Of guarding hi
! masters property is always tested b
1 means OF an individual dressed lik
an apache" the point to be aimed
being that the dog will only attac
: him when he actually touches tn
/ property.

THE MOTHER OF HERo1sM.

- Civilization, Not Barbarfsm, Says
Mr.. Carnegie, Apostle of Peace.
I'VE still hear war extolled at times
as the mother of valor and the prime
agency in the worlds advancement"
writes Andrew Carnegie. by 1t, we
are told, civilization has spread and
nations been created, slavery abolish
ed, the American Union preserved. 1t
Is even held that without war human
progress would have been impossible.
"The answer: Men were first saw
ages who preyed upon each other like
wild beasts, and so they developed a
physical courage which they shared
with the brutes. Moral courage was
unknown. War was almost their sole
occupation. Peace existed only for
short periods that tribes might regain
strength to resume the sacred duty Of
killing each other.
Civilization has advanced just as
war has receded, until in our day
peace has become the rule and war
the exception.
Arbitration of international dis
putes grows more and more in favor.
| Successive generations OF men now
live and die without seeing war; and
instead Of the army and navy furnish

men. II Is with difficulty that civilized
nations can to-day obtain a sufficient
