THE WORKING DOGS. AMERICAN CONSULS IN BELGIUM AND GERMANY REPORT ON THEM. A Problem In Breeds—Their Draft Pow er They Are Willing: Pullers The Qdestion of Forage—Are Easily Cared For—4. Cruelty to Animals Crusade. Some time ago the state department eant to consuls instructions to report on dogs as draft animals. The result is a collection of much curious information. The American consul at Antwerp says: “I cannot better illustrate the lack of attention to breed than by narrating an experience which I had a few days ago while riding on my bicycle in the coun try about ten miles from Antwerp. See ing upon the door of a modest one story brick cottage of a peasant a placard with the words ‘tehiens a vendre’ (dogs to sell), I dismounted, knocked a,t. thp door and at once found myself in the pres ence of tjie proprietor of the premises. After the greetings and after informing the gentleman of the purpose of my visit he gave me the following state ment, assisted by periodical questions thrown into the narration by myself: “‘I have six fine dogs to sell. Three of them have short hair, and three are sheared, so as to please everybody. These dogs are just ready for use— strong, healthy and just a little under 2 years old. I know these dogs well, because I raised them myself. I want 125 francs(about $25) apiece, but I will take less for spot cash. The breed? Oh, mon Dieu, I can’t tell you much about the breed. The breed, makes nd differ ence. What you want is a strong, well trained dog, and that’s what mine are. However, I may tell you that my six dogs are all from the same father and mother. The father is, if I remember correctly, one-fourth Belgian, two fourths Danish and three-fourths Scotch, and the mother is, I think, three-fourths Belgian and one-fourth English.’ “The dog generally in use varies in size and color, but in probably the ma jority of -cases-he is, when standing, about two feet high, of a dark gray or dark brown color, has short hair and the tail cut. In addition to his work as a draft animal he is a faithful guardian of his master’s home. “It isdifficult to say,”continues this consul, “exactly the weight of the load which can be drawn by one dog, for the reason that he is harnessed alone much less frequently than in company with one, two, three and sometimes four others. In the latter case they are har nessed abreast. In the cities and towns, when employed by butchers, bakers, laundries, etc., to draw their delivery carts, one dog is often used and is har nessed under the cart. The cart is pro vided with two handles, like those of a wheelbarrow, which are held by a boy, the boy* thus guiding the cart through the narrow streets while the dog pulls. In case of need, the boy assists by push ing the cart as he would a wheelbarrow. Sometimes two dogs are placed under the cart, but not more. “The highest utility is attained where two, three, four or five are harnessed abreast and placed in front of the cart, which they draw just'as horses do. It i® in this way that the peasants come to town with their vegetables and flowers in the morning, and in this way they re turn in the afternoon, seated in their carts, happy and smiling when they have been able to sell their loads, and in this contentment the dogs seem to join as they move briskly along, with their steady, easy trot, toward home. A team of three or four of these dogs can draw 500 or 600 pounds for several hours. ” The consul at Ghent says the level plains of western Belgium and Holland are especially suitable for the employ ment of dogs for hauling purposes. While in monntainous regions they are not practicable for heavy loads, still even in slightly rolling country they are able to outdistance horses for long hauls. Eor example, the distance between Ghent and Brussels is 84 miles. Ordi nary horses require four hours to cover it, while a team of dogs will easily go over the ground in three hours without any apparent fatigue. A good team of two to four dogs will haul a peddler’s load from 5 a. m. to 8 p. m., with only such short intervals of rest as they may obtain during the sale of goods. , The_Belgian dog may be put to work when "about a year old and'can be em ployed daily during eight or nine years. He generally lives to be 10 or 11 years of age. Food and maintenance are tri fling items of expense. One large dog can subsist on the kitchen waste of a household of five or six persons. Prop erly speaking, daily meat is indispensa ble, but very few of these Belgian ani mals get it. They should have daily a pound of meat; horse meat will answer.. If they receive that much in a week, they are lucky. In the country districts the dog’s jrfd is exclusively milk, bread :: :N J -- UI- fir I ifi1 ■' t s 1 (Mother’s Friend; ' 1 is a liniment for expectant mothers i 1 to use externally.

If specially purchased, the food of five or six dogs j will average 6or 7 cents apiece per day. The care and attention required are slight At night the dog must be given a good kennel, full of biraw, and left un - chained. It should be noted that his , feet never need attention, and that he I is likewise proof against all kinds of weather. ! “From all that can be observed or t learned by inquiry, ” the consul gener i al at Frankfort reports, “the dogs, at i least those used as draft animals in this region, take to their work with entire . willingness. Nothing is so irksome to the canine spirit as to be confined in the kennel or left at home when the 1 master goes abroad. Any sign of pre ’ paring the cart or wagon for a sortie af ’ sects the working dog much as the sight ’ of a gun or shooting costume agitates a setter or foxhound. If left at home ‘ while the cart is taken to town by hand, ’ he is apt to howl disconsolately until it r returns* Onge harnessed he trots* to his ’ place under the wagon, and when used on a milk route or other uniform serv ' ice he learns the way and the place and r i . j average duration of each stop as well as 3 ' his master, in whose absence he guards ! the wagon and its load with a fierce , 1 fidelity which no wheedling can corrupt 3 or fatigue impair. Barely under ordina ry circumstances does a dog have to be . urged to greater exertion. If spoken to f at all, it is usually to restrain him from drawing the cart faster than the driver t cares t< walk.” [ The consul at Hamburg says: “I have noticed that the people become especial t ly attached to their draft dogs, who are their constant companions in business, [ and that they treat them well as a rule. The dogs themselves are the very hard- ; est workers and enter into their work [ with far more spirit and vim than most . horses. It is a frequent sight to see their masters obliged to constantly restrain them from pulling. It is sometimes very 3 pitiable, however, to see them pulled out of shape by overwork and overload t ing. Their crooked legs, nervous tem peraments, blurred eyes and tender feet tell their tale of fidelity and suffering. . They ferociously protect the cart and its I contents during the absence of their 3 masters and seem to feel a personal in i terest in the business. “I took occasion to interview the 3 Hamburg Society For the Prevention of [ Cruelty to Animals on this subject and , learned that dogs which are used as i draft animals are seldom able to stand i the work more than five years without . their spines becoming affected and that such draft dogs as are from time to time brought to the dog hospital of the socie ty for treatment are generally beyond ■ recovery. I was also told that the society had repeatedly requested the Hamburg government to forbid the use of dogs as , draft animals and that, although its ef forts in this direction had thus far proved absolutely unsuccessful, it intended to continue to use its best efforts to have the practice abolished. Members of the society must bind themselves not to pur chase anything from tradespeople who deliver their wares in carts hauled by dogs.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. •'Only the Best ” Should be your motto when you need a medicine.

Boato'.i’H Clerical Romany. “I have it on the authority of Wil liam Dean Howells and other eminent Bostonians that there is in the capital of Massachusetts a certain clergyman of widespread fame who, unknown to the world at large, is a Romany. Every summer this reverend gentleman cannot resist joining some gypsy band and roaming from place to place as his kin dred have done since within the memory of man. Little do the good man’s con gregation dream that, while they pic ture him as sedately journeying abroad, he is sitting beside gypsy campfires and chattering the wild Romany tongue, to all intents and purposes a vagrant. But, as Mr. Howells pointed out, none ever heard it said that this preacher preached any the worse for his wild, free life over rosiiLatMi vigor and eloquence of his sermons im mediately after each successive annual ‘vacation’ have long been matters of comment in Boston.” Washington Star. ■ There is no need of little children being tortued by scald head, eczema and skin eruptions.

The British Association For the Ad vancement of Science at its annuo) meet ing took up among other things the study of the structure of human beings. It comments on the manner in which the human anatomy is put together in order to give grace and freedom of ac tion. These peculiarities are to a great extent wanting in the lower animals. The marked superiority of the hand over the fore paw of any creature is dwelt upon. The brain comes in for spe cial study. It is said that the brains of boys weigh more at their birth than those of girls and that men of great in tellectual power have brains that weigh 55 or 60 ounces, while brains of inibe ciles may not weigh over 30 ounces. > bp prqbably is true, the question arises as to whether quail tity is the thing to be sought after in the brain.

One night, going out of Chicago, a long, lean, ugly man, with a wart on his cheek, came into the depot. He paid George M. Pullman 50 cents, and half a berth was assigned him. Then he kicked off his boots, which were of sur prising length, turned into the berth, and, having an easy conscience, was sleeping like a healthy baby before the car left the depot. Along came another passenger and paid his 50 cents. In two minutes he was back at George Pull man. ‘'There’s a man in that berth of mine,” said he hotly, “and he’s about ten feet high. How am I going to sleep there, I’d like to know? Go and look at him.” In went Pullman—mad too. The tall, lank man’s knees were under his chin, his arms were stretched across the bed, and his feet were stored com fortably—for him. Pullman shook him until he awoke, and then told him if he wanted the whole berth he would have to pay sl. " “My dear sir, ” said the tall man, “a contract is a contract. I have paid you 50 cents for half this berth, and, as you see, I am occupying it. There’s the other half,” pointing to a strip about six inches wide. “Sell that and don’t disturb me again. ’’ And, so saying, the man with a wart on his face went to sleep again.

Mrs. Wu « Costumes Excite Wonder end Admiration In Washington. Os all the feminine costumes worn at state receptions in the national capital those of Mrs. Wu, wife of the Chinese minister, seem to excite the greatest in terest and wonder. Mrs. Wu, be it known, is a celestial aristocrat of the first water. She is of pure Chinese blood, unmixed with any of ‘Manchuri an origin. More than that, she is a “little foot woman,” which, as is well MRS. WU. known, is a passport to swell society anywhere in southern China. She is of equal official rank with her husband and may at any time enter or leave a room with him instead of following meekly behind. As the right to wear special decora tions and forms of apparel.goes with all degrees of Chinese rank and as Mrs. Wu is an oriental blue blood of ancient lineage there is nothing quiet about her costume when she is dressed for state occasions. Perhaps the most striking thing about her court gown is the eagle emblazoned with golden threads on her breast. The tunic of purple and black affords a magnificent background for embroideries of extreme richness and brilliancy. The petticoat, which is one of the prettiest parts of a Chinese lady’s dress, hangs about a foot below the up per robe and is of bright reds and blues with golden panels. The peculiar headgear which Mrs. Wu wears is unlike any conception of the milliner’s art with which we are familiar. It is a turban consisting of a simple band of black silk, with a single but splendid jewel in front and a clus ter of small flowers at each ear. The manner in which Mrs. Wu wears her hair does not indicate that it is merely the Chinese fashion of the day. It de notes the province from which she came, for in each province tH&e is a special coiffure which has been adopted for all time and which is never varied. J .

Cur ry-Arrington & Co. A Sermon With a Point to It. A clergyman in the west country had two curates, one a comparatively old man, the other very young. With the former he had not been able to work 1 agreeably, and on being invited to an other living he accepted it and took the young curate with him. Naturally there was a farewell sermon, and we can imagine the feelings of the curato who was to be left behind when he heard the text given out, “Abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship. ” Sterne once declared in regard to the widely respected maxim, “De mortuis nil nisi bonum. ” that there was nothing right about it but its Latin. This view was evidently shared by a certain Edin burgh minister who, being asked to preach the funeral sermon of a miserly brother cleric, chose as his text the words, “And the beggar died. ”—Cham bers’ Journal.
