EMINENT DOGS.

Among jolly dogs poor old Gut
land Jumbo" the fat and famous
one who went to war, will be long
remembered. He was a typical Brit
ish bulldog, and was lent by its own
er TO Jellicoe's flagship as a mascot,
where he proved worthy of his trust
at the battle of Jutland.
He also collected for charities,
like the collies Help and Tim Of
Paddington station, who between
them cleaned considerably over 91,-
600. And now dog Jumbo has come
to join them in the happy hunting
ground where John Peel's Ranter

Writing Materials for the People
Of Paraguay.

Before the war one might reason
ably enough have said that every
body in Paraguay wrote with a pen
Gil made in Germany" or dipped
a German-made pen in German
made ink. But the writing hSbits
Of the Paragraphs have changed.
They write as much, or more, than
ever, no doubt, and the $780, 900 let
tiers that a statistician credits them
with in 1918 must have used up a
good deal Of graphite and ink, but
the materials of correspondence
come nowadays chiefly from the
United States. Following again in
the footsteps Of the statisticians, the
10000 school children of Paraguay,
as they buy their pens, ink, and pen
ellis at the stationer's, are unwilling
ly trading with North America, al
though a small proportion are also
helping the pen, ink and pencil in
dustry of Spain and England. Blue
black, it appears, is the fayorite col
Ored ink with young and old, and
the pen with the long-pointed tip is
the most popular. AS for pencils
the industrious writers of Paraguay
use well over 100000 a day. One
might imagine that the fountain per

couple of thousand fountain pens {

FOXES LIVE HIGH
lanehers Who Breed Them for F,oft
Feed Them on Tenderloin Steals
and Dainties.

Silver foxes on a ranch at Hun
gary Hollow, near here, are cpl
cureans and live on the fat of the
land, according to a Regina (Sask.)
dispatch to the New York Evening
Sun. This need not be wondered at,
for silver foxes literally are worth
their weight in gold.
The little ~aristocrats are fed as
extensively as guests in the best
hotels. The meat served them is
kept in a perfectly regulated and
spotless refrigerator. 1t consists Of
the choicest cuts Of tenderloin
steaks and pork chops, with a little
horse meat added by way Of variety.
The foxes have shredded wheat, pre-
pared as carefully as it might be for
some wealthy and q%uerulous invalid.
Other breakfast foods, cereals and
vegetables pamper the appetites Of
the little beasts,
The ranch is tightly fenced in
with wire eight feet high and sunk
in the ground several feet. The fox
houses are constructed on scientific
hygienic plans. They are kept
scrupulously clean.
The success Of this fox ranch on
the Canadian Pacific railway and Of
several others near Winnipeg has
demonstrated that the prairie prov
inces are as well adapted to breeding
silver foxes as Prince Edward island,
which is the worlds center of the in
dustry.
A number Of silver fox farms are
operated in the United States. In
the possibilities of enormous profits
the industry seems as alluring as
gold mining.

QUIET THE SEA WITH AIR
American Ingenious Invention Pro-
teets Ships Which Are Lying
In Harbor.

In interesting device intended for
such purposes as protecting a small
port where the cost of permanent
works would be prohibitiye or for
warding off heavy seas from a vessel
lying along an exposed pier, recently
has been perfected, says a writer in
the Engineering supplement Of the
London Times.
Known as the Brasher air screen,
it is the invention of Philip Brasher,
an American government engineer.
1t consists in laying a line Of per-
forated pipes on the bed of the sea.
These pipes are connected to an air
compressor and when a gale springs
up compressed air is driven through
them. The bubbles as they rise to
the surface form a screen behind
which it is said that a vessel can lie
safely, wen though a heavy sea may
be running a few hundred yards
away. The device was first used for
the protection of a pier, 1000 feet
long, at Ell Segundo, in California
In the winter after this pier was
built, half of it was washed away
aud It's owners were contemplating
the abandonment of the station
when the air screen was installed
with satisfactory results.

He had malaria and other disease

There is vacant place by this fire

remember the master SAID many

chosen. but we feel sure he was one
chosen for it was his desire to go
home where there was more and
better rest for hun.
We miss thee from our home dear one
We miss thy sweet smiling face,
All through the light of day
And we miss thee
BY the Preside at night.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
