Theodore Roosevelt takes his readers into the less familiar cm, ners of both North and South Amer. lean, Many of his experiences were exciting, but perhaps the most thrill- ing was his encounter with a bull moose when on a recent hunting trip in Quebec. When we were half a mile from the landing, he says, we saw a big moose on the edge of the shore ahead of us. He looked bigger than the one I had shot that morning, and his antlers were rather more palmated. We pad- dled up to within a hundred yards of him, laughing and talking, and re- marking how eager we should have been if we had not already got our WAR DOGS DOING THEIR BIT. Remarkable Feats That Trained Dogs Are Doing on Battlefront. The Germans entered the war with hundreds of dogs trained to perform various services, They had the dogs that did what the St. Bernards used to do, namely, hunt out perishing men, and bring their -friends to them, They had also scouting dogs, and dogs that would growl or bristle at the approach of a stranger. They had clogs that would recognize an enemy, by what means we do not know, but maybe by his uniform, and seize him if the opportunity arose. In the matter of training their dogs for war the Germans, as usual, led. France, however, copied very quickly. The Belgians, always animal -lovers, had made use for years of the dogs that dragged their rapid-fire guns in time of war as they dragged their milk wagons in time of peace. It was not long before both Belgians and French hacl established lie dog service in the army quite equal to that of the Germans, Some of the things the dogs have been taught to do remain almost mir- aculous even to those who are not al- together ignorant of the brain -power that may be developed in a dog. For instance, a dog at a listening post, whose business it is to give warning of the approach of an enemy, has been taught to do so not by barking or even by growling, but merely by pricking his ears or scratching on the ground. 1 He has been taught to cross ground ' that is being swept by shell and bul- let carrying despatches, to continue even after he has been wounded. Ho has been taught, in some cases, to dis- . tinguish between an offensive and a , defensive, to know when to hurl him- I self upon an enemy patrol, and when ' to lie close to the ground to let the t Beebe pass. In one authenticated instance an t English Airedale, at his master's bid -1 ; ding, seized a bomb that had fallen in ' a trench and rushed with it into the • open. The dog was blown to pieces, but the.lives of a dozen men were say- , ed. They are taught to work some- times for two days and two nights 1 without rest. They are taught to ig- nore the trench rats, a particularly hard job -to teach a terrier, and to make no sign whatever unless a Ger- , ' man approaches. 1 They can see and hear further than 1 a man, and at night they have frus- trated scores of surprise attacks. ; Their services in the past couple of 1 years of trench warfare have been are glad that on more than one occasion par- ticular dogs have been mentioned in ofIlcial Frenchdespatches, and ave even been decorated. GERMAN FRIGHTFULNESS. ODD MENTION. Selection of good seed won't help you if you let the hoe rust, To keep the good dinners coming the cook must have plenty of raw ma- terial. Sea that she has them, When wood is dry is the time to store it in, the shed. Your wife can not hurry dinner with Wet wood. Have you made the lad payment on the farm mortgage? Then get a re- lease and have it recorded. All Frenchmen can cook and are not ashamed of it. How many Canadian farmers can say the same? Condemn no man unheard, for ill- ness or lost courage may bear the likeness of laziness. Put hope in the man. Life's success is not measured by acres or dollars in the bank, but by the comforts that you have every day. If the robins do police duty over your orchard don't object to the cher- ries they take. They have earned them. Set more trees. 50 per cent, more than the May hatch, and the May hatch is worth 100 Per cent. more than the June hatch. Be ready at all tines to drop every- thing and run when an animal or fowl is hurt, and apply "first aid to the in- jured"; and be sure to learn what to do beforehand. A word to the young man with the big ambition: Put a little money in the ' bank or invest it somewhere so that it will bring in a regular return. It goes better than the clock. You don't have to wind it up—it runs on night and day and always works for its owner's good. Wood and Water. CURIOUS FACTS REGARDING BIRDS —• EVIDENT ABILITY TO EXIST WITHOUT WATER. Island Entirely Without Water Which Harbors Some Forms of Animal Life. Recent investigations on the little known and rarely visited Henderson or Elizabeth Island have led to the discovery of a complete and curious little colony of zoological total ab- etainers. The island, which is unine habited, is situated about 120 mileg. • northeast of Pitcairn Island—itself , sufficiently out of the way, but famous as the home of the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. There is no water on it, not even I a swamp, and it is only six miles long, 1 yet it harbors quite a menagerie—a kind of rat, a lizard, described as very • abundant, and no fewer than four kinds of birds all peculiar to the island. These are a fruit pigeon, a , lorikeet or honey -eating parrakeet, a 1 little rail or crake and a reed warbler. The strange thing about the inmates of this curious little natural aviary of coral rock, surrounded by waves in- stead of wires, is that two of its in- mates are birds, one especially assn. elated with water—the rail and the warbler. The destruction which the war has wrought in British foelests has caused many an artist to shed unpatriotic tears. Yet the csarring of beauty spots is merely one objection to tree-, felling on a large scale. The rains which refresh the earth, and which are essential to its produc- tivity, are largely influenced by the effect of forests on the upper atmos- • phere, and—to carry the danger of treo.felling to ite fantasticr • 1 ' every tree in the world were felled the earth would indeed be a parched planet! Many ideas have been held in re- - ! gard to rain, and many experiments worked out. People used to ring church bells during dry seasons, hop- ing the concussion would bring rain. The effect of gunfire upon weather is still a debated point.

Tempting French children with pois- oned candy is tho accusation made against the Germans again, as it was in Serbia and Rumania. The candy drops from the skies, so to say, which appeals the more to childhood. The police of Barle-le-Duc, where the American flying corps was stationed formerly, and of Besancon, have warned the people to forbid children hem eating candy from boxes of sweetmeats which they may find. Tho packages of bon -bons are dropped by German aviators, it is alleged, and the sweets contain arsenic and other poi- sons. Moreover, it is charged that packets filled with tubes containing the germs of contagious diseases are being sown by Teuton flyers. The curious and incautious open such a; packet and the germs, if the report is to he credited, infect all those near. The French troops easily defeat the Germans' attempts to poison them by tampering with drinking water. Medical officers, keeping pace with the advanced troops, examine all springs and wells and mark poisoned water 1 drinIcing forbidden. 1 Meantime fresh water is piped along 1 just behind the advance guards, The ' Germans ueuallythrow d s into the wells, but sometimes they 0150 ZtrSClIiC, - Too Much Water.

"Be good," observed the wrinkled Philosopher, "and you will be happy." "Prove it!" challenged the young man of the world. "Why, that is quite simple -1f you hate you will be hated. If you are greedy your appetite will grow beyond your capacity to feed it. If you steal you will never enjoy possession. If you sneer at others be sure they will sneer at you. Then, thousands of di- gestions are ruined by irritability, and more people have died from fear of cholera than from the disease itself." -us e m ec the young man of the world. "You hate your maker, and sneer at him. You are n perfect pig at meals; and I saw you once stealing an apple from your neighbor's garden. As for irritability, didn't you snap at me just now when I slammed the door, and aren't you for ever cod- dling yourself for fear of gmeumoe. ." "Quite true," said the philosopher.' "I have never spent a really happy Live Without Water. Yet it is evident that these, like the rest, must do without drinking unless the dew can slake their thirst, or they have acquired toleration for sea wa- ter as a beverage. A similar case is thatof the peculiar and very hand- some wild goose of the Sandwich Mends, which frequents the barren lava flows, where there is no perman- ent -water supply, but it feeds on juicy food, such as sow thistle and berries. Here we got an even more aquatic type of bird marooned on dry land, but the Sandwich L,land goose takes to water readily enough when kept in Europe. "As to the existence of animdla without drinking, it is well known that many have the power of sustaining themselves in this way, and the phe- nomenon occurs irrespective of their diet being vegetable or anbnal, at any. rate in some rases," says The London Standard in commenting upon Hen - lc -,'son Island life. "Rabbits, as is well known,- can live Without water if giv- en plenty of salad, and so can par- rots if supplied with sop; yet both will drink on occasions. So vill hawks and owls, but these birds can subsist for long periods without drink- ing in captivity; in fact under the old management at the Zoo the owls never had any water given them. Neither did the 'curious hornbills, which are by nature chiefly frit eaters, receive any. They have the opportunity of drinking now, but do it so awkwardly trying to peck up the water with their great bills that the habit hardly seems na tura), Adapted to Surroundings. "It has been recorded that a great bustard lived for months in captivity without drinking, although the species does drink occasionally, and it may be. eugefested that the bustards are a family of birds accustomed to frequent dry places, and henee have acquired the -power of abstinence. "But setting aside the fact that the great bustard is often found near wa- ter, this explanation would not serve in the case of parrot,, and hornbills, which are, as a rule, forest birds.
