a saving of $1.43 over the old rate.
In designing this new rate We have
made no attempt to make the total
revenue derived from sprinkling serv-
ice equal to that obtained under the
frontage basis. On the contrary. it
was our aim to lower, the revenue Is

toners as a whole will be benefited bv
an average reduction in their seasons
charges Of such a percentage. Some.
of course, will be benefited by a still
greater reduction and OH others the
charge will be increased. To be exact
1902 sprinkling accounts will be re-
duced and 541 will be raised. In other
words, three-fourths of our customers
having sprinkling service will paw less
and one-fourth will pay more than
formerly. In making a change of this
Kind. just such adjustments have to
be expected. In fact, the object il tn
make the charges conform as nearly
as possible with the service rendered
and II some of our customers arc
raised. it simply goes to show that for.

In proportion to the amount of ground

Also. during the Middle Ages war
dogs were used for guarding the camps
and bulwarks. Scotch bloodhounds
were particularly reputed for detect.
ing escaping adversaries in their most
hidden recesses. They were also USED
for attacking the enemy's caVairy'
whose horses they tore with the
tongues and hooks of their coats Oh
mail. To these coats of mall even
firepots were attached, which set the
camps on fire. In the days OF Gran
SON and Murten (l476) the battles
started with fight of the Swiss dogs
against the Bungundian dogs, and at
niurten the Burgundian dogs were dis
membered by their adversaries from
the Alps. 1t is said that, after the
discovery of America, war dogs slaugh-
tered not less than 1000 Indians.
The employment of dogs continued
in modern times. Emperor Charles V
15l8-l556) received from England, to-
gether with soldiers, four thousand
dogs as subsidiary forces against
France. At Valence French and Span
ish dogs Joined battle, in which the
latter remained victors. AS late as
in the seventeenth century war dogs
were used as scouts against the Turks.
in 1922 an assault upon the Acropolis
of Athens by the Greeks was frus-
trated by dogs. The French employed
dogs in Tunis tgainst the Arabian
tribes. In Mexico the dogs of the
Laccateca volunteer corps (lSo4)
proved the most terrible adversary of
the Mexican guerillas, until they were
got rid of By poison. In the Turko-
Russian War Of 1877-'7S the Russians
employed war dogs. both in Europe
and in Asia. The Austrians and Hol-
landers also used successfully trained
dogs to protect themselves against be-
ing surprised by the enemy. and to find
their adversaries in the impenetrable
thickets.
To-day, however, the dog is no long
err used as a fighter. He is trained to
carry ammunition to the battlefield. to
guard the outposts, prevent skirmish-
ers from stealing at too close a range.

While the market seemed to derive
its chief inspiration from the strength
and activity of cotton goods, and the
disposition of manufacturers to hei2e
sales for forward delivery by pur-
chases of futures, the advance was
also promoted by small crop estimates.

that crop estimates of sixty-four mem

"Pekin'

W. R.-Can you give me the exact
meaning and origin Of the word
"Pekin," so often heard in familiar talk
with Frenchmen?
Pekin. or Pequin, is a name which
the French soldiers of the empire used
to apply to civilians. According TO
Littre, the word is derived from pekin.
cheap textile that under the Empire
was much used for trousers by civil
ians, so that one at a glance could dis
tinguish the civilian from the soldier.
The Spanish language has the word
"pequeno," which on account of its
meaning and spelling must be consid-
cred the father of the French pekin, or
pequin. It is applied TO one who is
wanting in birth, fortune, credit, power
in contradistinction to him who enjoys
these advantages" muerta ne per-
