CHINESE EDIBLE DOGS.
They Are Fed Mainly Upon Daintiiy
 Prepared Vegetable Food.

Prepared Vegetable Food. English bon vivants have tested the merits of the Chinese edible dog. and they pronounce 1t very good dog in. deed.
 The dog is destined from the begin ming for the table. Like the edible rat of the same country, it is fed mainly upon vegetable food, which is often delicately prepared and specially de vised. in order to give the dogs flesh peculiar flavor and aroma. The re. suit is something quite different from the flesh of the ordinary dog of the western world.
 The genuine Chinese edible dog Is known by its bluish black tongue. which is peculiar mark of it's variety. In infancy and early youth the dogs tongue is red. and upon reaching ma turity and the edible age 1t suddenly becomes black. sometimes within two weeks.
 Another pecuiiarity of this dog Is its lack of the barking faculty. It Is said that the dog can bark. and on oc. casions does so. but these occasions are rare.
 Many experiments, most of them un- willing, were made with the flesh of dogs during the Paris siege. New foundlands and St Bernards were pre-. ferred, under the mistaken impression that they would prove more eatablc than other varieties. They proved to be detestable in all cases.-Every Week.

GERMANY AND BULGARIA
 HAD UNDERSTANDING

ROME, Oct 29.-The Tribuna, a paper in close touch with the official
 circles, declares that the criticisms of
 the British foreign office regarding
 the alienation of Bulgaria by Ger many is not justified as it has been
 known since last May that Bulgaria had made a secret treaty with Ger
 many and that Bulgaria was restrain
 ed from entering the war at that time by declaring war on Serbia because disease was epidemic in Serbia and Bulgaria feared the result on her own
 forces.

Seiectinq the Golf Ball.

The small heavy ball will go farther than the lighter or larger ball for the player who can hit it extremely hard owing to it's less resistance from the air. Because of its weight and small size it can bore it's way through the air almost like bullet. In the case of a lady or very light hitter firmly be- lieve they will get much better results with the large light ball since because of it's greater resiliency 1t will get the maximum distance from much lighter blow. So my advice would be for a light hitter to use the light ball, the average hitter the medium weight and the hard hitter the heavy ball.-Outing.
