Labeled the Children.


The crowded water front Of the old
Canton of a century ago, with its
thronging sampans alive from stem
to stern with swarming children. Is
vividly pictured in the Memoirs OF
William Hickey" In his account OF
the innumerable boats that covered
the river for mile after mile, Mr..
Hickey describes a novel method of
protecting the children of the floating
city from the dangers of the water.
Each child wore large vegetable
something like gourd or pumpkin
fastened to it's back. The vegetable
was buoyant, of course, and, If the,
infant fell overheard, foated it until
the child was picked up by its par
ents or the occupants Of any other
sampan that happened to be near. This
vegetable life-preserver had the name
and station of the sampan to which it
belonged cut in Chinese characters.
upon it, and by that means, the rescu-l
ers could at once identify the child;,
otherwise, in such multitude Of boats,
great confusion would have arisen. Itl
scarcely ever happened that anyone,

Keeping Flowers With SUGAR.

Two professors of the School Of Ag
riculture at Rennes, France, have made
some interesting experiments in pro-
longing the lives of cut flowers. One
hundred different flowers were used in
the experiments, and it was found that
sugar helped to keep most of them
fresh, but was positively injurious to
lilies and sweet peas. It fastened the
opening of roses and orchids, but did
not thus affect tulips, daisies or chrys-
anthemums.
Experiments were made with small
quantities of chloral, ether, glycerin,
alcohol, limewater and ammonia salts,
each of which served to lengthen the
life of various flowers Some Of the
flowers kept in sugar and water lived
four times as long as they ordinarily
would
The sugar does not have an exactly
equal effect on the different flowers it
preserves. Carnations seem to like a

Kite SiqnaIinq of French Navy.

Novel ways of signaling were tried
out recently during the naval ma
neuvers in the Mediterranean by men
aboard the French warships. It was
generally conceded that the tests with
box kites we're most efficient. The
results proved that the box kites, be-
Ing light, can be hoisted even when
there is but slight breeze; and their
size makes them easily discernible
from great distances. The signal sys-
tenn used was similar to that of the
flag system. Various combinations of
kite groupings were used. While this
system Of signaling is not quite so
fast as signaling by means of flags,
1t is more definite, it is claimed, and
can be seen for miles around. The
success of the experiment has led to
TO a recommendation to the French
government that the system be intro
duced generally in the navy Of France.

Most of you boys who live in the
country have dogs. Have you ever
tried to train them, beyond the throw
ing of sticks for them to bring back,
and a few such tricks as standing on
their hind legs, or barking for some
tking to eat?
AS a boy, back in the country, was
the owner of a number of dogs, at vari-
os1s times, and until l was pretty we'll
grown, this was usually the extent of
my training. And my friends who had
dogs trained theirs in about the same
way Possibly some of you have bright
dogs that are capable of knowing much
more than they do. If so, the follow
ing general directions, learned by ex-
perience, may be of use.
First of all, teach your dog that you
mean exactly what you say, and that
he must obey you. To do this, you
should never give foolish command;
but if thoughtless order be once
given, even though you repent it as
soon as it has escaped from your lips,
do not hesitate, but insist on your pu-
pill instantly obeying is, if the
dog, in your judgment, understands
the order.
Never under any circumstances al
low him to shirk, and even naturally
stupid pup will learn to look upon your
word as law and not think of disobey-
ing.
Strict obedience to your word, whistle
or slightest gesture once obtained, it
is an easy matter to finish the dogs
education. Bear in mind that there is
about as great difference in the char
acter and natural intelligence of dogs
as there is in boys. Not only does this
exist between the distinct varieties of
dogs, but also between the different in
dividuals of the same variety. All
Newfoundlands possess similar char
acteristics; but each individual varies
considerably in intelligence, amiability
and all those little traits that go to
make up a dogs character.
1t is we'll for you to understand this
fact, that you may not be disappointed
or make your poor dog suffer because
it cannot learn as fast as some one you
may know of. And let it be impressed
upon your mind that to make your dog
obey or to teach it the most difficult
trick or feat, it is rarely necessary to
