The Rev. Mr. Jones, whom be

This soup was made from the

VOLUMES OF MAGAZINES,
American and English, are the fav-
orite reading matter of the bilik of
prisoners,. when, no doubt, the
articles allestrating the stately
homes of 'England are studied with
peculiar interest by the burglars.
In this connection, a good story is
told by a Roman Catholic priest,
-who was perplexed by the desire of
some Roman Catholic -prisoners to
become Protestants, until be found

library contained volumes of "The
Strand Magazine." with "Sherlock

DUTCH DOGS AS DRUGES.
They Are 'Used as Beasts of Burd-
en in Rolland. '
The lot of .some, dogs in Holland
is not at all a happy one, for many
of them are looked upon as beasts
of burden, and have to work very
hard indeed for the food that is
necesSary fo'keep them alive. In
a great many cases, the food they
eat is not the same as the English
deg has. Some Dutch dogs will eat
carrots and turnips—in fact, ahnost
anything that is put before them.
They have to draw the vegetable,
milk, end other tradesmen's carts
in order' that mynheer may walk
alongside at his ease. These dogs
are trained to do this kind of. work
from puppies, and are very patient
and long-suffering; but sCimetimes
they are imposed upon terribly. It
is a common sight outside the towns
to see a great, hulking Dut,chmaa
