Chinese EDIBLE DOGS.
They Are Fed Mainly Upon Daintily
Prepared Vegetable Food.


Prepared Vegetable Food.
English bon wants have tested the
merits Of the Chinese edible dog, and
they pronounce it 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
a peculiar favor 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 it's blush black tongue
which is peculiar mark of its variety.
In infancy and early youth the dogs
tongue is red. and upon reaching ma
becomes black. sometimes within two
weeks.
Another popularity of this dog is its
lack of the barking faculty. 1t is said
that the dog can bark. and on oc-
casions does so. bit 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. Demands were pre-
ferred under the mistaken impression
that they would prove more eatable
than other varieties. They proved to
be detestable IN all cases.-Every
Week.

This fraction of land joins our farm
here and, finding it was government
land, I filed on it knowing that such
a beautiful spot would make an ideal
summer resort, although small one.
I feel sure that some day it will be a
valuable piece of land, and can
realize as much from it by renting
cottages as a good many do on a full
quarter, section. The point has a
mineral spring and also trees, some
of which are ,balsam, spruce, bass
wood, birch and pine. There are nu-
merous wild birds, including wild
ducks, geese, partridge, grouse, looms,
as we'll as song birds. The part
ridges come to my cabin door,"

THE MARKING OF BILLS.
One Of the Secret Service Methods 10
the Use Of Pin Holes.

One Of the Secret Service Methods 10
~ the Use Of Pin Holes.
In their surveillance and apprehen-
sion Of suspected persons government
secret service officers often find it nee
essary to mark the money" handled
by such persons There are various
methods Of SO marking the national
currency, one, Of the most novel of
which is the pinprick.
The note to be marked is, say, the
five dollar silver certificate bearing the
vignette of an Indian chief in his full
regalia Of feathers and rappings and
presenting full face view. With the
aid Of a pin the secret service man
makes two punctures in the bill direct
~ in the pupils of the Indians eyes.
To the casual and sometimes even
critical inspector of the note these pin
pricks are invisible. If raised to the
light, however. the bill will distinctly
reveal them.
The markings are complicated by the
following process: The pin point is ap-
piled in the twist of the large figure
5 at the two upper corners of the note.
These tiny twists do not appear in the
"necks" Of the two figures 5 that are
at both ends of the bottom Of the note.
The note is now pierced again, this time
in the ends of the scrolls on each side
of. the word five in the lower center Of
the bill. The marking is now COM
plete. In secret it is exhibited to one
or more persons for purposes of identi-
fication and is then placed in the till or
money drawer to which the suspected
person has access.
1t is said that the pinpricks will re-
main perfect for some time. When
such bills are produced in court and
their marking is explained under oath
conviction is practically certain.-Ev-
cry Week.
