TOY DOG HAS HIGH VALUE
Brussels Chiffon, Practically Unob-
tainabie Just Now, Is Likely to
Become Popular FaVorite-

The Brussels GriffOn is popularity
known as "the mOnkey-faced toy dog"
and he is one of the brightest, sharpest
and gamest of all toy breeds. The
Chiffon is a cross between Irish ter
rier, Yorkshire terrier and Yorkshire
spaniel and only the fortunes of war
and the difficulties of getting any dogs
out of Belgium have prevented the
GriffOn from becoming a leader among
the toy breeds that are so fashionable
just now.
American breeders of Griffons have
a bit of advantage over their Euro
pean confreres. inasmuch as cropped
dogs are allowed to be shown in this
country and there is no question that
it does improve the appearance of
this breed when the ears are carried
erect.
The smaller these dogs are the
more valuable. A Griffon weighing
three or four pounds, that * to say,
so small that he can be carried in u
Iady's muff. is worth almost anything
the fortunate pOsSesSor wants to ask
for him. At the present time it is
almost impossible to obtain Such a
dog

HOW .LAPLAND GOT ITS NAME
Danish chronicIer of the Twelfth Gen.
tury First Used Term "Lappia,"
From Which 1t Is Derived.

The origin of the term "Lapp" is OBJ
scure. according to Through LaPland
with Skis and Reindeer" by Frank
Hedges Butler. The Swedish histori-
an, Johannes Magnus, writing in the
sixteenth century, called the land Lap
pin. following Saxo EXAMINATIONS, the
twelfth century Danish chronicler.
Other writer's called it by the Latin
lied name Lapponia. In the seven
teenth century the region was known
in England as Lapland, in Sweden as
Lapmarkia, mark being swedish for
land; in Denmark and Norway Dis Lap
lSndia or Findmarkia.
Several ingenious etymoIogies have
been suggested, both in ancient and
modern times. Some derive the name
from the Swedish Lapp, rags, from
their (the LapIanders) coming into
Swedeland every year with rags Iapt
about them" others from the Swedish
laepa, TO run or leap, from their skill
Ill Sliding swiftly over the frozen snow
by means of skis.
Shelter, the Swedish professor
whose 'Lapponia" (FS73) was trans
lated into English and published in
Oxford in 1874 wrote Of the cart they
have by which with crooked pieces of
wood under their feet like a bow they
hunt wild beasts and glide along the
ground, not taking up one foot after
another as in common running but car
rying themselves steady upon the froz-
en- snow, they move forward, STOPPING
a little" Old historians often called
I.apland "Scridfnnia,' derived from
"skrida," which in Danish and Swed-
ish means to slide

Material for Paving Bricks.

The Stag of British blast furnaces
contains 26 per cent of silica and %
of alumina and makes excellent paving
bricks of stony texture; but bricks
from American Stag. which has "a per

CLASSY and brittle. The American
bricks quickly sOlidify in a thin outer
