fathers of the great St. Bernard, their race descends from the crossing of bitch Ca Bulldog species) of Denmark and a Mastiff Shepherds dog) of the Py- reness. The descendants of this cross- ing. who have inherited from the Danish dog it's extraordinary size and bodily strength of the one part and from the Pyrenean Mastiff the intelligence, the exquisite sense of smell, and at the same time the faithfulness and sagacity of the other part have acquired in the space of a few centuries so glorious notoriety throughout Europe that they well merit the name of distinct race for them- selves. In the winter season during and after snowstorms the St. Bernard is trained to travel back and forth over the Swiss mountain trails, thus making tracks for travellers to follow. When they come across stranded victims, they try to arose them, and if this fails they rush to headuarters and notify the monks, who set out to rescue. As far back as 1872 history tells us this saintly breed followed the live-saving trade"
 By the above it will be seen that the St. Bernard of old was as useful as our present strains who watch over and guard the household.
 The beautiful reproduction on this page of the imported Champion Cragwood Osiris, is the most magnificent specimen l have ever seen. He weighs close to 200 pounds. and in points is perfect He is of the smooth-coated variety and cleaned up in winnings in England before being imported to this country by Mrs. Nor wood B. Smith, owner of the Cragwood Kennels, 1850 Waverly street, Palo Alto. Cal It took but four entries in this country to get his American champion- ship, and his offspring are of the best. Mrs. Smith writes me that raising St. Bernards is a hobby with her, and that her list of breeders are the best the world affords. The lady sent me a photo of one or her champion brood matrons, but space forbids but the one reproduction. This dog is about the size of Shetland pony How many of our young readers would like to use him for pillow on the lawn and ride on his back?

Saint Bernard

Among the great diversity, both physi- cal and mental, in size. character and adaptability to our various requirements taste or mere whims and fancies. which the canine family offers, the dog of St. Bernard stands out in bold relief by his picturesue arrangement of colors but still more by his immense size and grand pro- portions, often weighing from 150 to 200 pounds.
 It is not. however. to his physical excel- lence. his stately form, superbly grand and beautiful exterior alone that the St. Bernard owes his present position as a great favorite. He is known as the ''stantly'' breed. And why not? The work in which he has been engaged for cen turies has surrounded him with almost a religious halo in the public mind. Stories of the intelligence displayed by the St. Bernard in his search for lost travellers in his native home are not new, and many authentic tales are told of this noble animals rescues in snow-covered noun tains of Switzerland.
 The origin of this breed is matter of great uncertainty, and the monks of St. Bernard themselves were unable to throw any light upon the matter Beyond point ing out portrait of Bernard de Men thon. in which he was accompanied by & dog resembling in some details the St. Bernard, they seem to have no knowledge of the bred. According to authorities. cross with the New Foundland was tried by the monks but it proved a failure in results. The most authoritative and prob- able account of the origin of the mod ern St. Bernard is derived from M. H. Schumacher. who had a kennel at Berne, Switzerland. and who exhibited at Paris in 1878.
 A letter dated August 29, 1867, written by the Rev. J. Cumming Macdona of Chesire. England. said:
 According to tradition of the holy

given the piece of pipe to smell, and inn mediately took up the trail. A mile and half away the pursuers came to farmhouse. The farmer told them there had been stranger about there a night or so before, but he could give no defi- nlte description of him. From the farm house the trail led to a building in the course of construction There the dog rushed to pile of pipe, and from one piece they found a length had been cut. That was where the murderer got his bludgeon. Again the dog tock up the trail and finally came upon a deserted shack. Here he led the searchers upstairs, where they found an old mattress with blood stains upon it. Evidently they were on the right track. The dog again struck out across country, and toward evening tEe party came upon group of men talk ing by the roadside. The dog suddenly 1eaped upon one of them and pinned nlm to the earth This fellow was arrested, put in jail, and ultimately confessed that he and negro had committed the mur- der
 Another dog unearthed $10OO worth of silverware that had been stolen. Still an other traced the robber of a Montclair grocery store
 That is why De Winter is proud of his dogs and explains the fact that he sells them for something like 5000 apiece.
 We reproduce on this page picture of the Ridgewood, N. J., police squad with two of De Winters trained German Shepherd Dogs ready for their rounds in the suburbs The lower picture shows a trained dog at the end of trail, with his prey on the inside of shed upon which the animal has it's feet.
 Another interesting fact about the Ger man Shepherd is that the waring nations are now using about coco of these faithful animals in the war zones of Europe for locating wounded soldiers and so valu- able are they that hospitals have been opened at the front to care for the wounded animals
 Of course German Shepherd pups don't cost $1o00. and can be bought from sev- eral good kennels handling this breed, among which is the Auldane kennels, AIS North Main street, Butler, Pa. a fine head study of one of it's champions being reproduced on this page. Its appearance is one of the brightest of the canine fam ily and certainly one of the most de- serving breeds upon which man should shower affection.

By JOHN c. MOSES.

Todays page on the canine family con tains breed that is more before the public the world over than any other. This is the German Shepherd, that mag nihcent animal which is performing mir acles on the war-ridden fields of Europe by saving wounded soldiers. So valuable are they that the different warning na- tions have established hospitals for tine wounded animals. In America the Ger man Shepherd is trained for police duty in large cities, and l have secured an il- lustration from a well-knoWn training school in New Jersey showing two of their trained dogs ready for their rounds with three suburban officers. Another picture shows one of the animals at the end of trail with it's prey on the inside of shed. A perfect head study of this noble breed is also printed.
 Another specimen that will please the kids is the mammoth Saint Bernard. which weighs about 200 pounds and is about the size of Shetland pony. This breed is used in the mountains of Swift zerland to rescue lost travellers.
 Another breed popular with the ladies is the English Toy class. which come in four colors. and more ornamental than sporting
 The writer gives a lengthy chapter on the proper modes of feeding the dog at different ages, what is good for it and what Is not, together with the propor- tions best adapted to large and small breeds.
 Next Sundays page will contain an ar ticle on the long, keen Russian Wolf hound whose speed is to be compared with our well-known Greyhound. The Boston Terrier. a general favorite, will have a short sketch of it's career and a good illustration of a southern-bred stud dog.

The Three Ops"

In dog-dom, as in human-dom, there are three "Ds"-dirt, darkness and damp that inevitably produce fourth-disease. Dent keep your dog in a cellar, nor a hovel of habitation, if you must ken nel' him, getting thereby about as much enjoyment out of him as you would with your babies in a barracks. Don't con- demn him to beds of straw" asylums of fleas. Give him sweet hay and pine shavings, if possible. Scatter moth balls about; sprinkle with eucalyptus oil; white wash, it will do more good in kennels than in senates. Have water, water everywhere-and always fit to drink And remember his whole fine body was given him for the same purpose as was yours use and exercise; let him freely use the limbs that God gave him.-Mss Eileen Moretta.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-26
Time to Start on Pleas

Spring is with us, and with the budding fruit trees and green grass. we must also expect a good crop of fleas to bother the dog. just as We do jiggers to bother us. Start early on these pests, and see that your dog is washed regularly with some good carbolic soap with a little tar preparation mixed in the water; also few spoonsfuls of kerosene in the water will improve the coat and help kill all lurking vermin.

Unique Oocument.

In the American Magazine" Prof. Charles Downer Hagen tells some ludIcrous incidents of the Franco PruSsian war, describing document that is modern curiosity:
 Cohesion was lacking. as were num- bers." he says. Many generals were sent to command troops with which they were entirely unacquainted.
 Not only soldiers, but sometimes generals went astray, unable to find their places. Have arrived at Bel fort telegraphed General Michel on July 21. cant find my brigade; can't find the general of the division. What shall I do? Don't know where my regiments are This document is prob- ably unique in military records. An other general hunted for his artillery staff; another for q cavalry corps which did not exist"
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-08-13

The end of the second year of the great war finds the Germans in posses sion of more of Europe than they held on August l. 1915. the first anniversary of the start of the great conflict.
 This is practically the only respect in which the situation is more favor able to them. Russia. her vast man power at last organized and furnished with implements of destruction in plenty. Is battering the Teuton lines on the east and has already won back 4.JOO square miles. Great Britain boasts five million men in her army and navy. France fights as strongly as ever Italy is increasing her formi- dab!eness.
 Austria appears to be losing heart and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to send re-enfOrcements to the west or Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight offensive power.
 The British navy. following the much-disputed naval battle Of Jutiand. still shuts of Germany from use of the seas. One German merchant sub marine has reached America, but the supplies which can be carried over to the besieged nations in U-boats will be of little account
 Germany and Austria both feel the pinch of hunger. Their armies are sufficiently fed, but their industrial workers complain of lack of nourish- ment. The present harvest is watched with anxiety. and if it fails or Is only of fair size. famine will stalk into the situation next spring. or earlier.
 Germany Seeks Reasonable Peace"
 The German chancellor three times in the reichstag has offered peace to the entente. On account of this, for midabIe opposition has arisen to him at home. although he is the kaiser's -o.her self" His friends are ralIying % his defense. and on August l of the present year begins the curious coun- try-wide lecture campaign to prepare the minds of the hitherto docile Ger man people for a reasonable peace"
 Meanwhile, with the sky brightening. the entente allies reaffirm their resolu- ton, taken in the dark hours of last @fntef- never lo tedse tnelr tIIofts LII Germany is crushed. The Teutons not only must be beaten in war, according to the allied formula, but must be re- pressed economically for many years after the signing of a treaty of peace
 On August ], 1915. the Germans and austrians were in the midst of their brilliant campaign against Russia. The "pincers" were closing in irresistibly That day LubIin. an important city in southern Poland, fell.
 von Mackensen, with Galicia con ouered, was pressing northward, while on the north side of the Polish salient Won Hindenburg bore with his host ~f fleld-gray warriors.

Allies Drive in somme Reoion.

Almost a month to a day following the beginning of the great Russian of fensive French and British opened their drive in the vicinity of the Somme river. They have gained grad uaIly but steadily. and the official re- ports assert the losses of the attack CTS are comparatively small.
 It Is also the claim of the allies that the Franco-British offensive can be kept up at its present rate indefinite ly. and will not have to be slackened for lack of shells, guns or men. The rate of progress Is much greater than the Germans at verdun. but the coun- try traversed is less difficult. On the other hand, the yerdun assailants have the advantage of attacking from the outside of curve, while the French and British now attack from inside the salient they have made in the line. Meanwhile the verdun offen- sive of the Germans continues.
 Outside of Europe the Germans have lost their Cameron colony on the west
