SPANISH MAID FIRST TO
WEAR ORANGE BLOSSOMS

The custom Of wearing orange bios
SONS at weddings is of comparatively
recent date. 1t came to US, like most
other fashions in dress, from the
French, who, in their turn, derived
it from Spain. In the latter country
1t had long obtained, and Is said to
have been originally of Moorish
origin
There is, however, an old Spanish
legend which gives a different ac-
count of It's introduction. According
to this, soon after the importation Of
the orange tree by the Moors, one of
the Spanish kings had a specimen Of
which he was very proud, and OF
which the French Ambassador was
extremely DESTROYS to obtain an Off
shoot.
The gardeners daughter was aware
of this, and in order TO provide her
self with the necessary dowry to en-
able her to marry her lover she OBJ
tanned a slip, which she sold to the
ambassador at high price. On the
occasion of her wedding. in recog-
milton of her gratitude to the plant
which had procured her happiness.
she bound in her hair wreath Of
orange blossoms. and thus inaugu-
rated the fashion which has become
universal-Tit-B Bits.

coal is absolutely essential to civiliza-
ton. Mankind in their present NUM-
bers cannot be supported without It's
heat, and the work it does The coal
will last much longer than 1t would
otherwise do, because in burning it
we fill the air with carbon dioxide,
which in a few hundred years Will
cover all countries like the glass of
greenhouse and make the climate
of the ship warmer than now, so
we shall not need to burn SO much
coal per capita.
But there is another necessary or
life in the bunkers of the ship which
must be used with coal if civilization
Is to be maintained. 1t is IRON AS

"WAR DOGS" ARE USED
WITH BRITISH TROOPS
Test of Airedale Terriers on
Outpost Duty Successful.

For the first time probably in the
history of the Royal United Service
Institution, a number of dogs were
introduced to an audience They were
Airedale terriers, trained by Major
Richardson, the breeder of dogs for
military and police purposes. Major
Richardson delivered a lecture on
1.-THE Employment of War Dogs,
and mentioned that he had received
a request from the men of the Nor
folk regiment for one of his dogs and
had presented them with one, which
worked with the soldiers through the
recent summer maneuvers. He had
received report from the officer of
The company to which the dog was
attached. in which he said:
"On three occasions / had the OPP
portunity of using the dog on out
post duties at night, Each time
found the presence Of the dog to be
If the greatest value. He either re-
manned beside the sentry or went
with a patrol. His value consists III
the fact that he can and does detect
the approach Of human beings some
considerable time before the eye or
ear OF the average man can distin-
guish anything.
THE result is that the sentry or
patrol is fully on the alert, and it is
impossible for them to be either am
pushed or rushed The dog is no
expense, as he feeds on the remains
of the mems dinner. He is never al
lowed to run loose in camp or bar
racks. and no one is allowed to feed
him except the man in charge of him.
I am of opinion that it would be
very valuable asset to have four OF
these dogs attached to every infantry
battalion for service in the field.
II hope at next company training
TO make more extensive trials of his
usefulness. l should add that his
method OF indicating the approach of
anyone at night is quite silent. 1t
consists of q low growl and a stiffen-
ing of his body, almost like a
pointer."-London Chronicle.
