DOGS UTILIZED IN WARFARE Once Actual Participants in Hoatiil, ties, as Well as Made of Good Use in Other Ways. — "Dogs of war" is a phrase which once meant a thing as real as the war horse. Dogs have played their part in buttles and campaigns, and in the old wars between England and Scotland dogs were used by both combatants for pursuing and killing fugitives after a defeat. It Is related that Wallace and Bruce each had close escapes from capture by English bloodhounds Bruce Is said to have thrown the English dog off the scent by the now wellknown expedient of wading up a stream far enough to baffle his pursuers, and Wallace evaded the hounds by having recourse to a trick more or less common in those bloody times, of killing a follower and leaving the body in the dogs’ path for them to come upon. The dogs finding a body believed that their task was done and discontinued the hunt. Tn the history of the wars of the middle ages one finds reference to the use of big dogs against cavalry for the purpose of throwing the horses into confusion and not alone for causing panic but casualties, for these fierce canine partisans w ere clothed in coats of mail studded with spikes and having scythes fitted to their harness. Instances are recorded where war dogs with fire brands fastened to their coats of mail have been set on an enemy’s camp with destructive results. Henry VTH must have found dogs useful in military ways, because in English history it is written that h« offered the use of 49,000 auxiliaries and 4,000 war dogs to King Charles V of Spain to aid that monarch in his war with Francis I. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when the earl of Essex entered Ireland for the purpose of suppressing insurrection there his army was accompanied by 100 bloodhounds. ALL BORN WITH CHARACTER Lord Rosebery Tells Boys of English College That Test of a Man Is His Manners. Lord Rosebery, speaking at the Epsom college prize distribution, and taking the formation of character as the subject of his address, said he believed we were born with character. He believed some germ of character was innate. He did not know whether this went counter to theological dogma, but he was firmly persuaded of the fact, and had noticed that the way a baby took a bottle was a fine indication of character. The world was constantly carving and chiseling our characters —carving and chiseling some woods which were so soft that they never repaid the trouble and were worth nothing, and some which split so easily that they were not worth anything either. But there were also some finer woods, like old mahogany, which got richer and nobler the older they got. He firmly believed that the years spent in school were far more important in the formation of character than ail the many years spent afterwards. There was one way in which the character of a man best showed itself, and that was by his manners. Electric Fan for Horses. Believing that horses, like human beings, can do a better day's work after a good night’s rest, the Utah Light and Railway company has taken steps to rid its stables of flies and to provide better ventilation. Accordingly in one stable where thirty-five or forty horses are kept, two 56-inch four-blade ceiling fans have been installed and two 15-inch blowers. These are set in operation on warm nights in order to make the stable more comfortable. They also serve to keep the flies from pestering the horses, and, in order to keep the flies out of the stable, the windows and doors are screened. The horses are used by the company to supplement its electric truck and motorcycle service. The running expense of the electric service is less than 49 cents per month per horse, and is repaid many times over in the greater efficiency of the animals. Juror Indicts Self. A Virginian was recently indicted by the grand jury on which he was serving on a charge of disturbing religious worship. He was forced with the others to deliberate over his own indictment. Lawyers declare it is the first time in history such an event has taken place. He pleadec} guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and costs and to undergo three months’ imprisonment. The imprisonment was suspended on condition of his good be havior. The case at first puzzled the lawyers, bat the accused cleared the matter by admitting his guilt. Hens Not Perfect. A farmer living not far from Boston was disappointed the other day when Mrs. Blank, one of his regular costumers, refused to buy any more eggs from him. ‘‘They are not satisfactory,’’ she told him. “Some of the last lot were not fit to use.” “But, Mrs. Blank," remonstrated the old man, “a hen is bound to lay a bad egg now and ag’in.” Garlic for Wasp Stings. The inhabitants of French Switzerland and Savoy rub a crushed clove of garlic upon a spot that has been stung by a wasp or a bee. According to Professor Mermoid of Lausanne, this makes the swelling go down and takes away the nain.

GIVE LAVISHLY TO CHARITY Londoners Can Not Truthfully Be Accused of Stinginess, at Least In One Respect. London is rich in charities, ns well as in many other things. Ten million pounds is the estimated Income of charities in Loudon, which is more than twice the annual expenditure of £4,000,900 on poor relief. This interesting fact is mentioned in Louden Statistics, a volume which contains many curious facts regarding the metropolis. It is pointed out, for Instance, that of the 67,137 old age pensioners in London, 46,524 are women. This preponderance of women is partly ex plained by the fact that widows in the whole of London number 199,896. Is lington, by the way, hah the largest number of bachelors. 90,072, and Wandsworth the most spinsters, 99,289. Referring again to London’s charities, it is interesting to note that over nine and a half million meals were given to necessitous children in 1912, each child receiving an average of just over five meals. More than seven and a half million books are lent by the public libraries in a year, juveniles taking considerably over one million. That Londoners take full advantage of the facilities for amusement is il lustrated by the fact that at least one and a half million people visit a theater, music hall, cinema show, or concert hall in London every week. Crime still flourishes, the number of persons tried for indictable offenses ranging from 9,000 to 10,000. Among other interesting facts contained in the volume referred to arc the figures regarding traffic. Altogether there are 2.192 miles of stre< ts in the metropolis, of which 150 miles are laid with tram lines. The busiest spot in London would appear to be Piccadilly, east of Berkeley street, where 31,345 vehicles, of which 21,612 were motor driven, pass along it in 12 hours. London bridge is the busiest bridge with 17,253 vehicles in the same time, but Westminster’ bridge with 17,204 vehicles runs it very close. CLEAR MILLION ON HIS DEAL Criticized Buyer of Coal Lands Altogether Too Hasty in Committing Suicide. Ten years after taking his own life at sea, under a storm of adverse criticism, David Wilcox, once president of the Delaware & Hudson Coal company, was fully vindicated. As the result of investigation of coal land reservations which have been going on, Charles F. Smith, a mining engineer, stated at the court house at Pottsville, Pa., that a syndicate of New York, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre capitalists he represents has completed arrangements for a proffer for the coal lands in the county, held by the Delaware & Hudson. The price offered has not been stated, but Mr. Smith said: “It is due to the late David Wilcox, who negotiated the purchase of these lands on the part of the Delaware & Hudson, to state that we are willing to pay more than $1,900,000 more for these tracts than was paid by Wilcox." It was reported that Wilcox had paid $17,000,000 for these lands. Mr. Smith said these figures were exaggerations.

Lawmaker's Centenary. Benjamin Goodhue, one of the early senators from Massachusetts and the author of many of the revenue laws that still remain on the statute bookc of the United States, died 100 years ago at his home in Salem, Mass. Mr. Goodhue was a native of Salem, and a graduate of Harvard college. After leaving college he embarked in foreign trade and soon was numbered among the great ship owners and merchants for which Salem at that time was famous tlie world over. He represented Salem in the First, Second and Third congresses, and, in collaboration with Congressman Fitzsimmons of Philadelphia, drew up a code of revenue laws for the new republic. Mr. Goodhue served in tb.e United States senate from 1796 to 1890. when he resigned on account of failing health. Smallest Republic Doesn’t Fear War. The independent republic of San Marino seems to be about the only country in Europe that is i-ot on edge over the threat of an all-engulfing a of war. San Marino has not ordered its army into the field, nor has it told the reserves to make ready. The fi> i l forces of the republic have a strength of 38 officers and 950 privates, nearly a full regiment. Perhaps San Marino does not need to get excited. It has kept its independence through the years, and it claims to be the oldest state in all Europe.* Copperhead Hits at Light. W. S. Bishop, a lone section patrolman on the Penny's tracks in the Lewistown Narrows, was patrolling No. 4 track when a big copperhead struck viciously at the reflector of his lantern. He killed the venomous reptile with a scrap-bolt. Its hide measure ; 4% feet and is as thick around as an ordinary man's arm.—Lewistown (I’a.) Dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer. Haven’t the Time.

JOHN SPULLER Decatur, - - Indiana. stedet.h The most dreaded disease of the dental profession is Alveolar pyorrhoea, sometimes known as Riggs disease. It usually begins with an uneasy feeling in the gums and teetli which in time becomes painful. In the first stages of the disease, the margin of the gums is inflamed and bleeds easily from slight causes. After a time the inflammation extends deeper in the gum which becomes congested, swollen and with a tendency to separate from the necks of the teeth, which gives rise to little sacs filled with pus. The gums fall away and the teetli become loose. At an extreme stage of the disease destruction of the tooth socket and gum occurs, the teeth necome so painful that they have to be extractedsometimes the teetli become so loose that they drop out of the mouth. The constant swallowing of pus from dis eased gums cause troubles like head ache, pain in the side, dizziness, weakness, sleeplessness, sallo v complexion, mal-assiniilaticn. dyspepsia, under weight, nevor.'?i< <:s, despondency,

stomach troubles in different forms, offensive breath, etc. The hiding ol unhealthy .conditions of the mouth through the use of flavored and per fumed tooth washes, pasts, etc., does no good. Diseases of the mouth, and gums must be treated medicinally. Are your teeth getting loose? Are your gums sore? I’o they bleed easily? Are the gums soft and spongy?

Very few of our readers have net heard of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who is cn the bench of the United States District Court. When he was about nir.e years of age he was working or. the streets of a litle town in Dutlcr County, Ohio, carrying a route for a local newspaper. Judge Landis is said to have been not only an industrious little chap in those days, but a thrifty one as well. His first Bank Accounty was a mighty small affair, but it is to his starting a Bank Account while he was a lad he largely attributes his subsequent success in life. Very few boys seem tc realize that Success in life generally goes to those who are ready to take advantage of it.
