It recalls the old exchange of telegrams when the Duke was first called upon to take up Ms work in Canada. The Duchess received a cryptic message asking whether or not she thought maple sugar would agree with her. She caught on to the meaning in a flash, and wired back to the Duke that it agreed admirably. Orlon. of Field Guns Of all the world's great battles Crecy possesses a unique interest. The English used only three pieces of field ordnance. They were small Cannon made of trees, bored, and bound with Iron hoops, and the mis- siles were of stone, scarcely larger than cricket balls. Doubtless ,-this rude artillery made far more noise than it effected damage. It was the longbow and the broadsword that won the battle, but nevertheless gun - Powder was henceforh to play an fe'it''eert1icreasing part in the strife of isatfons.

GIANT AMONG DOGS A -71 S .A peace loving dog is the Great Dane. He'd rather lick your hand than rend your head from your shold- era; he'd rather snuggle in a comfort- able kennel than bivouac on the bat. tlefleld. In far away days when Cyrus con- quered Babylon the Persian leader sent his troup of "war -dogs" into the thick of the battle, and his victory was much easier because of their brutal method of fighting, and at the historic battle of Marathon both Per. stens and Greeks used dogs as allies to their armies. Frons these "soldier dogs" descend- ed the German boarhound, which in time became known as the Great Dane. The "son of battle" Is still big and powerful, the average weight of a Great Dane being 100 pounds and his height 32 inches. THE ORIGINAL RUBBERNECK Giant Heron a Great Fisherman and Vermin Exterminator The giant heron has so much neck that to get it out of his way he coils it in and out until it looks like a great glistening blue question mark. But as a matter of filet the solemn old "giant" ask no questions of any one, when be sees what he wants in the way of a fat frog or a plump little fish he untwists his neck, darts Ida long shalt' bill into the water and without ever saying "by your leave" he picks up.a doh or a frog or a water spider and swallows it. In South America and other tropical countries whore the giant heron is (mown the nattves look upon him vary unkindly because he eats so many fish, bit some of the wise ones among them know that if it were not for the heron tear ootmtry would be . over- run with (makes said rate, These, troublesome creatures 'make food for the heron family and they don't last long in places where the giant birds are coronion.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTCDRIA MODERN WARFARE. Manning the Trenches and 'Locating the Enemy by Dust Claude. A column of infantry, marching four abreast -the regular marching form- willpass a given point at the rate of 175 a minute. At that rate it will take a division, which contains about 10,000 men, about an hour to pass. A division, which is the largest body known in the organization of the Amer Sean army, will fully man two miles of trenches. The regulation distance in the manning Of a trench is a yard to a man. There are three lines, how- ever, needed to fully man such de - tenses -the firing line, which is down in the trench, a yard between each man; the support, which is back .a short distance, and the reserve, which is behind the support. :These three parts of the defense are of equal size. In locating an enemy dust clouds are often excellent indications. A low, thick' cloud indicates infantry, a high and thin cloud indicates cavalry, while a broken cloud indicates artillery or wagon trains. An experienced' scout can closely estimate the character and strength of an enemy solely by the dust cloud. An aeroplane to be perfectlyy safe mast; keep at an elevation of at least 4,000 feet above the monad Although the telegraph and telephone have become generally used in battle for purposes of communication, for dis- tances ander half mile the old fash- ioned courier and horse are still excln- sively used. These have been found a swifter and surer means of communi- cation for short distances than either telephone or telegraph. -Washington Star. eo••o•••••sa•••0000so•••s• • •go TO 'CORRESPONDENTS. e • --- 0 • • • Write on one side of the • • taper' only.
