Tricking the Dogs.

When compelled to travel all night, the Siberian natives always make a practice of stopping just before sunrise and allowing their dogs to go to sleep. They argue that if the dog goes to sleep while it is yet dark and wakes up in an hour and finds the sun shining, he will suppose that he has had a" full night’s rest and will travel all day without thinking of being tired. One or even two hours’ stop at any other time is perfectly useless, as the dogs will be uncontrollable from that time forward until they are permitted to, take what they think a full allowance of sleep.
