Every one is familiar with the important part which the dog plays in the iloniestne economy of Belgium. Anything and everything which falls to the part of donkey or horse In other lands ia done willingly and cheerfully by these little creatures. But their use as servants dues not stop with these ordinary duties, which can bo performed ’>v lUjinia’s of jio bijd' Intellicence, The Beiuiuu dog has k* ome a recognized memto-r of the police force, and since his entry into this field of action crime in the particular districts which an* patrolled by him is said to have dlmlnislitsl two-thirds. This fact need* some explanation. Ghent Is not only piereed by canals. Imt is surrounded by rich farms and land as well as by luxuriant market and horticultural gardens. The city does a large trade In flowers and bulbs. The <lmk loafers and floating is»i>ulation that shipping always brings antempted to mnmnerable petty thefts, win!,- rhe extent of the gardens and fields and the isolation of some of the farms make it extremely difficult for the authorities to cope with them single handed. In the hojie of checking crime and rol»l*‘tw th** chief commissioner of police obtained the services of dogs He most carefully arranged even- detail of their training, which Is done entirely by kindness, and It is satisfactory to know that any member of the force would la- instantly diamissed for striking a dog. The methods u»‘d in trainlnt the dog* demand the utmost patience. Dummy figures are used, made as neary a* p ,*»ible to represent the thieves nd • •. ■ r* - they may lie likely to meet. The doe is taugtit to seek, to attack, to s, to hold, but without hurting -on at- y. The first step is to place the dummy In such a position thi.t it w ill resemble a num •eeking to conceal him*elf. The dog won tm<ler*tami« first it is an enemy whom he must hunt and enters into th;- part of hi- lesson with de.igiit. but :• s t. >r» toffii'd 11<» teach him that he must not hurt him.

It ts ne's-ssary that these bit rd work lug animals si: mid lie well fed. and their menu for th* day would not be refused by any hungry man. It consists of soup, me-.'t. rice and bread, the last being the best Kneipp bread.

Their uulf'.-rn consists of a leather collar strongly trnin.l with »t«-e| and arm *d with sharp points, to repel any attack fr »m their victims.

In the clearing* the log house is a rarity, because Ate portable sawmill goes along with the tlmlterman and slits the log into framing ami Itoarda for the dwelling—while you wait. And the people are even in touch with the world. If they have no time to plant telephone isdes they nail the Insulator to trees and run the wire through the woods. In the old days of the “plains west” the town was I orn when the saloon, the smith shop and the corner store threw open their doors. In thia northwest the community springs into existence with everything ready for the dally life of Its inhabitants. Not only are the stores prepared for trade, bnt the schoolhouse Is awaiting the children, the church Invites to Sunday worship, and It Is strange If the town newspaper does not come off the press to Its readers within a month or so after the birth cf the future city —Outing Magnslna.
