The Shrines of Chile.

At various places in Chile, ted
up and down the countryside, may be
found many small shrines. Some
consist of small, hut-like arrange
ment, others are mere holes cut into
neighboring rocks; while others,
again, are nothing more than a hol-
low pile of stones. They usually
mark the spot where some one has
met his death by violence, and the
shrine is built by the pious friends
of the deceased, who keep candles
burning in it to light the departed
soul on its way. One little cement
hut which I saw was rather a neat
one of its kind, and must have taken
some trouble to set up, as it is placed
about ten miles from the nearest
township and on a very bad road.
The melted wax from the candles has
flowed out down the side of the hill.
The inscription on the cross reads

DOGS FOR DEFENCE.
Row They Are Trained in Bele lum to
Protect Master and Property.

A very interesting congress has Just
taken place in Brussels in connection
with the competitions for dogs
trained for the defence of their mas
ter and his property and for police
dogs.
The program under discussion was
divided into two sections. that for
dogs privately trained for the defence
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 individ-
ual and according to the owners per-
sonal idea. Belgium has an unen-
viable notoriety in the matter of
crime (probably due to its lax pun
ishments), and a solitary pedestrian
in a lonely, unfrequented neighbor-
hood 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 oc-
equations oblige them to face the risk
of attack train their dogs to defend
them. This idea has enormously de-
veloped of late years in Belgium, and
competitive trials are now numerous,
which with their gold prizes and the
high sums for which trained dogs
are often sold greatly encourage the
breeding of suitable dogs.
Many men in Brussels keep a dog
solely as defence 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.
The dogs used solely for defence
and police dogs, of whom is required
more subtle intelligence, must for
their own safety learn certain lessons
in common. For instance, they must
refuse to accept food from any one,
although their master may not be
present to restrain them.
Another item settled on the pro-
gram was the height of the jumps
required of the dogs. Both defence
and police dogs must be able to jump
a fence boarding at least seven feet
high, with a maximum ordinarily of
eight feet, though some dogs can
jump nearly ten feet With a ditch
of over seven feet to take first the
hedge must be at least three feet
high, and the animals, which jump
at the word of command, must come
back over the obstacle the instant
they are called
The dogs capability of guarding
his masters property is always tested
by means of an individual dressed
like an apache" the point to be
aimed at being that the dog will only
attack him when he actually touches
the property. Brussels correspond

WILD CATS IN CAPTIVITY.
Four Kittens Remain Around House
and Follow Master Like Dogs.

l was fortunate enough to securei
a female wild cat which had beeni
caught in a trap by keeper in the
extreme north of Scotland. 1t was
not long in my possession before / ar
rived at the conclusion that there are
few animals wilder than a wild cat.
The beast was so savage that found
it impossible to do any thing to the
injured fore-limb, but nature came to
the aid of my captive, and the leg,
although remaining slightly de-
formed, became quite servicable.
In about a months time the cat,,
which afterwards escaped and waf.
shot while raiding pheasant rearing
grounds, presented me with four kit,
tens, and knowing the cannibalistic
tendencies of wild animals in cap
tivity, l made arrangements to re-
move the kittens as soon as they were.
born. One had, however, been made
a meal of before the others were res

The remaining three were trans
ferred to foster mother in the shape
of a gentle stable cat, and the family
survived all their infantile ailments,
and are still alive. Notwithstanding
their environment and the excellent
example shown them by the stable

HOME OF THE SHETLAND PONY

Just off the coast of Scotland there
is a group of islands called the Shet-
land Islands. On one of this group
of Shetlands the men are so large
they are almost giants, for they are
tall, strong and broad shouldered.
Their wives and children, too. are fine
looking and intelligent. Only twenty
five miles away from this island of
Fetlar is one called Muckle Roe
There the men are small, ill-shapen,
homely, and, in fact, look almost like
queer little dwarfs. These people
are so very loyal to each other that
they do not like to welcome any of
their neighboring islanders to live in
Muckle Roe. For this reason these
queer people make very little pro-
gress. When the people of Shetland
Islands reach the age of twenty they
feel rather sure of long life, for over
half of the population live to be sew
enty years old and many of the people
lead vigorous out-of-door lives until
they are past eighty years of age.
