mon did not, however, enter this ser
vice as militia, but as volunteers. A
special law was passed by congress
authorizing the preident to accept
National Guard organizations by reg
iments, but each individual man had
to enlist under this volunteer act
and there was considerable delay in
transferring the men from the state
to the national service.
This is all changed now. After
careful study a new militia bill was
presented to congress and enacted
into law January q, 1903. The
bill, with subsequent amendments,
placed the organized militia, or Nat
ional Guard, where II was intended
to be by the constitution, and 1t Is
now as much a recognized part of the
military resources of the national
governmnnt as the regular or stand
ing army. Congress also made ad-
ditional appropriations for arms,
clothing and equipment, and it now
can be called directly into service
without new enlistments. And the
term service into which it may be
called is indefinite, each officer ana
man serving for the balance of his
term of commission or enlistment IT
is expected to be in such a state Of
readiness as to he prepared for i'm
mediate, active war service, and, as
a matter of fact, it would form large
ly the first line.
The National Guard now consists
Of 10000 officers and men, and this
number, by enlisting to the full war
strength of companies, could be al
most doubled. Its present full value
to the government, should be esti-
mated at 100000 officers and men.
These men are drilled once each
week and the drill is rigid one. So
far, they have done this work out of
pure patriotism, for they receive no
compensation, but bill will be in
troduced at the next session of con-
gress giving them some compensa-
tion for the time which they spend
in the service, their proposed pay
amounting to 25 per cent of that of
men of the regular army, with extra
pay for drills. The appropriation for
this compensation is to be made by
the federal government, and it is the
opinion of those who have given the
subject careful thought that the Nat
ional Guard is entitled to it. The
guardsman must earn his own live
lihood, and the training, particularly
for national service, involves an am
cunt of time and effort which he
really cannot afford to give without
some reward.
Real Training.
Few realize how much training
now is required of the National
Guard, but this may be classified un-
der the following heads:
The use and care Of arms.
Sanitation and the care of wound
ed in the field.
Discipline.
The science Of war.
In former times, the simplicity OF
firearms did not require the same
amount of training as at present.
With modern rifles the effective range
in open country is one mile. At 1000
yards firing should be quite accurate.
The rifle itself is complicated, involv-
ing a great deal Of care in keeping
IL in proper condition. Much time
must be spent, therefore. in training
men at target practice, as well as in
the care of arms. before they are
properly trained for war service.

The most radical departure from ali

style note Of the day. These crowns
are rarely less than ten inches IN
height, and very often more. They
are very narrow, even at the base, and
taper to rounded or f1attened conical
top. The brims are usually pincbed
In poke across the front, or at the

NJ Iepine. Project of Police, recently
occurred your correspondent that the
French Beauce made the best possible
noIice dog and was susceptible of receiv-
ing the highest training The art OF
training the police dogs Is exceedingly
dieicult The work begins when the dog
60 ten months old, completely free from
the effects OF distemper The dog Is at
dr.t taught to sit down, to lie down 10
stand up. to fetch and deliver. at Word
of command and at simple sign. Then
comes the task Of exciting his combat
iyeness. To accomplish this the dog Is
chained and leased until he becomes
furious. Those who thus tease him
are men or boys dressed as "apaches'
The dog is afterward taught TO attack at
Command. to defend his master, to seize
and retain different objects, to jump or
climb over obstacles, to grab an assail-
an bv the throat. to catch and hold a
man attempting to escape and to refuse
bits of meat or food offered as bait. The
training comprises a course for develop
inc, the sense Of smell and following a
given scent TO an extraordinary degree.
There are now twelve training schools
in France for police dogs. The Paris
notice has a corps of thirty dogs at
tached TO it. At Lyons there are fifteen
and at Rouen twelve. These animals
are all perfectly trained. There are al
together nearly two hundred police dogs
now on active service with the police In
various towns of France. Moreover, a
considerable number of persons who
live in the country nowadays demand
highly trained police dogs.
The police dog, especially when OF the
Beauce breed, presents no danger De-
cause when his education is completed
he is ferocious solely at word of com
mand. and is otherwise affectonate ana
friendly. The chief of the Rouen ponce
has a Beauce police dog which nearly
killed two burglars, and held them

The police dogs are not so EXPENSE
now as they were few years ago. a
we'll trained police dog brings to-day
from $50 to $2j0-prices which are no'
more than those usually paid for well
trained shooting dogs. The Rouen Ponce
Dog Show IS a great success, and COM

fectly trained animals. - l. ID
