REAL DOGS OF WAF,."
They Used to Wear Coats of Mail and
 Carry Firebrands.

Carry Fjrebrands.
 "DogS of war" is q phrase which once meant thing as real as the war horse. Dogs have played their part in battles and campaigns. and in the old wars between EngHud and Scotland dogs were used by both cOmbatants for pursuing and killing fugitiyes aft CT q defeat
 It is releatcd that Wallace and Bruce each had close escapes from capture by English bIOodhounds. Bruce is said to have thruwl the English dog off the scent by the now we'll known eXpcdi. ent ol wnItu@ up stream far enough to haH'n his purSuers. and Wallace evaded tine hounds by having recourse to u trick murr or less common in those bloody tlmr> nt Killing a follower and leaving the bod, in tine dogs path for them t0 come upon The dogs finding a body believed that their task was done and lisruutimucd the hunt.
 In the history of the wars of the middle agoS opr finds reference to the uSe of btg dogs against cavalry for the purpose of throwing the horses into confusion and not alone for caus- ing panic. but casualties for these fierce caniue partiSHns were clothed in coats of mail studded with spikes and having srythrS fitted to their harness.
 Instances are recorded where war dogs with fire brands fastened to their coats of mail have been set on an ercmy's camp with destructive results.
 Henry WILL must have found dogs useful in military ways. because in English history it is written that he offered the uSc of 10000 auXiliaries and 4.OOO war dogs to King Charles V. of Spain to aid that monarch in bis war with Francis l.

Beuinninu War.

There was Q great difference in the manner of commencing a war centuries ago to what there is now. Now the blow is frequently struck before the word. and there is no obligation to is- sue a formal declaration at all, the act of war constituting the declaration. But in medieval times no war ever began without a formal declaration by q herald. who in a most lelsurely man. uer breathed defiance on the part O. his royal master. exchanged innumer- able bows with his enemies and de- parted in as dignifed a manner as he came.-I.ondon Chronicle.
