THE BELGIAN CLEANLINESS.

POLICE DOGS.

| learned afterward that twenty were
borrowed from other cities to help protect
the exposition at night, those used TO pa
troll and protect the outskirts of Ghent
not being sufficient for both purposes.
After eight hours continuous duty they
were going home to kennels and break
fast. Although in leash, they were not
straining away, but trotting happily and
harkfully by their masters sides and
certainly they were greeting the morn
with Joy!
