Teaching Your Dog
To Carry Things
L. E. Eubanks in "Animal Life."
Carrying is one of the most popular
accomplishments of the trained dog.
And it is useful too; -.nine messen-
gers were invaluable during the war,
and every years many lives are saved
in remote sections by dogs that have
been taught to carry letters, objects,
etc. Not infrequently we see dogs
helping in various kinds of work; I
knew a shoemaker who had but to
speak to his spaniel to have an able
and illing assistant. The old gentle-
man would say, "Rex, get the broom,"
and the dog would bring it in a
twinkling.
He knew just where to take hold to
balance it in his mouth. His master
told me that more than once the span-
iel had done• his best to sweep; he
knew the broom's use perfectly, but
he was ,a little fellow and found the
necessary manipulation a physical im-
possibility. The old man was par-
tially paralyzed, an 3 that animal's
ability to bring things to him was of
great practical value.
I think it is generally understood
that puppies learn most anything
more readily than mature dogs; but
in teaching this work of carrying,
there is another reasci., one we might
'terns physiological, why you will suc-
ceed more quickly with the youngster.
Begin when he is teething; his gums
are sore and he gets considerable re-
lief from holding things in his mouth.
At this period of life he will often
"mouth" hard objects for no other
purpose than to help nature in de-
veloping his teeth. Ii is instinct.
Certainly, dogs will lenrn carrying at
any age, but it is far easier to teach
then. when they are seething.
Perhaps a glove is the best object
to start with. Drawing it through his
mouth makes his gums feel better,
and secondly the scent of his master
en the glove makes it more interesting.
After a dog has .his teeth, too much
carrying of particularly hard objects,
like stones, will injure them, and make
him "hard mouthed," that is, careless
about biting too hard on delicate pack-
ages. Sportsmen, in training of re-
trievers, have to guard particularly
against developing of hard mouth.
Movement interests animals of all
kinds more than anything else. Even.
an object unattractive in itself will
secure a dog's notice i• thrown a little
distance, with a gesture for him to go
get it. Sometimes a pretence to race
with him for the object will awaken
the desired response; and it is very
natural when he reaches the object to
grab it up in his mouth.
If the run -after -it method fails, you
must open his mouth forcibly, ' Pass
your hand over his jaws and with the
thumb on one side and fingers on the
other, press his lips against his teeth.
This will open his mouth, and you
should be ready with the other hand
to place the glove in it. Now slip
your hand under his jaw and hold the
mouth shut while you stroke his head
with the other hand and speak kindly
to him. Repeat the lesson two or three
times, but do not tire him. Conclude
by giving him a bite of something he
likes.
After two or three days try leading
a few steps, still holding his mouth
closed. From day to day work your
hand gradually back until it is on his
neck instead of his jaw; then you can
transfer it to his shoulder, and a lit-
tle later walk at his side without
touching him.
Your talk to the dog while he is.
learning is important. When you be-
gin to use various articles he must
understand your caution of "Gently,
boy," etc. I read of a dog's bringing
a freshly laundered collar to his mas•
ter without soiling it. It had fallen
from a desk into a waste -basket, and
this observant dog knew that it did
not belong there, and that it was
something he should handle with care.
Any reasonably apt dog will .earn
thus to discriminate—more quickly
than you may believe.
The only way -at any rate, the hest
way—to train a dog to go after
things alone, or do any tricks without
your supervision, is to go through the
performance exactly with him many,
many times, always using the same
words to start the thing. In this way,
with patience on the trainer's part, a
smart dog may be taught to take a
basket and go sifter some article. Gen-
erally, too, he will know whether he
is being given the usual thing, though
of course he cannot ask for it. If you
have the merchant instructed to put
what you want in the basket, the dog,
if well taught, will do the rest, and
bring the basket to you.
You should teach the carrier dog
not to give up his package or message
to any stranger. Have some pe -sen
with vr}lonl your pet is not acquainted
start to take the object from the dog's
mouth then change his mind. Let this
he repeated a few times; Then come
up yourself, take the object, and
praise the dog, This method was first
recommended by Bruette, one of the
best "dog-ologists" of this country,
and I have never known it to fail. A
dog, like a person, dislikes being fool-
ed, and clings to the person who seems
to appreciate his efforts.
Do not ask impossibilities of the
dog. Let them be a definite end to
his search for an object. Some fine
dogs have hecn injured by staying in
water too long searching for rt duck
their master had brought down. Never
send your puppy into dangerous cur-
rents and whirlpools and do not per-
mit him to wade the marshes too long.
A dog is naturally so faithful and per-
severing that he will well nigh kill
himself t; obey orders, but +lis Toaster
should not permit this.
Summer Afternoon
The silvery -shaded birchen -trees
Toss coins of sunlight on the grass;
The feathery winds from clovery seas,
Trail wings of perfume as they pas.s
In summery -soft white furry hocks
The clouds are bunched against
the blue;
The far-off shimmering steel -faced
rocks
Are flashing blades of burning hue.
This glittering globe of crystal heat,
Holds song and silence in a swoon;
To fiery rhythms the hot hours beat,
All down the summer afternoon.

LOST 52 LBS. UGLY FAT
So Fat that People Stared
"Puffed" to Walk 10 Yards
Some people suppose that fatness is
necessarily constitutional—a natural
state against which struggle is in vain.
This man's experience disproves that
—and on his own description he was
an extreme case.
"I was 220 lbs. two years ago. I am
only 5 ft. high and I looked awful!
Through diet and Krusohen, I am new
168 lbs., and as nimble as a two-year
old. I am well-known as a fat man
and people always stopped ,to look at
me. I could not go anywhere without
a stare. And after walking 10 yards.
1 puffed awful, Life was a misery to
me. Now I am all right. There never
was such a difference in a man."--

pray?" "No," said the other. "Well,
can you sing a 'ymn?" "No." The bell

It surely would not have been caught.

Things I'II Never Understand
Why anyone rides in a rumble seat.
Why they call them "permanent
waves. What a woman driver means
when she holds out her hand. How a
centipede keeps its feet from getting
tangled up. Time tables Greek wait-
ers. Chinese laundry marks. Musical
terms. How sailors get into those
tight pants. How they get out of
them. Screen grid tubes. And wo-
men.
Hubby—"What in the world do you
call that? A vase or a bowl or what?"
Wifey—"I don't know. The sales-
man just called it a bridge prize."
John—"Do you know the difference
between a woman and a telephone?"
Jack—"No."
John—"Well, both repeat what they
hear, but the telephone repeats it ex-
actly as it hears it."
Asked for a definition of the word
futile, a youth said: "Well, it would
be something like trying to pick up a
flea with a pair of boxing gloves."
Barker (at the fair)—"Now, ladies
and gentlemen, I've sold this tonic for
25 years, and never once heard a word
of complaint. What does that prove?"
Skeptical Listener—"That dead men

"Were I drowning in the middle of
the Atlantic cean—going down for the
third time—you would be the last per-

It made her feel very happy.
After they had been married several
years, he made the same speech.
It didn't seem to have the same
meaning then. Besides, she didn't like
the way he said it.
So she hit him.
Quebec Leads in Bachelors
It must have come as somewhat of
a shock to the older generation of
this province to learn that, accord-
ing to the Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics—which ought to know—Quebec
has the highest percentage of un-
married people of any province in
the Dominion. • We lead with 62.19
per cent of our total population. This
is accounted for, of course, by our
large families of children.
Of the total number of single per-
sons, 5,951,411, no fewer than 3,179,-
443 are males, so that the girls have
a battle for choice, as they are out-
numbered by the mere men by 407,-
475. There is no indication as to
the cause of the election for single
blessedness by so many Canadian
males at the present time. It may
be taken for granted, however, that
the depression has played ca very
large part in their decision.
The figures may be somewhat dis-
.quieting, but older folk can solace
themselves with the soothing reflec-
tion that sooner or later the bachelor
state will be found less interesting
than the married, and that the un -
wedded of both sexes will come to
the conclusion—singly, of course, not
by battalions—that it is better to be
married and comfortable than un-
married and lonely Montreal Daily

Japanese Barberry Rated
With Most Useful Plants
Although not as famous as the rose
or lilac, the Japanese barberry ranks.
with the California privet as one of
the most useful garden plants. The
common or European barberry is the
only other one well known to gar-
deners, This other species is notori-
ous for its part in the dissemination
of the wheat rust and the consequent
drastic means to eradicate it from
farmlands by the government.
Berberis vulgaris has longer, less
persistent fruits in drooping racemes.
The flowers and fruits of the Papa -
nese species are usually in clusters of
two to four, the fruit persistent and
with the yellow pendant flowers in
early spring and the showy scarlet
fruit staying on all winter. It is a
valued standby for dooryards, hedges
and many other•garden uses.
The grewis, named in honor of
Nehemiah Grew, an English physi-
cian and vegetable physiologist, con-
tains about seventy species of
shrubs, mostly found in warm cli-
mates. A few species like parvillora
have been tried under cultivation in
temperate zone gardens and found
to be reasonably hardy.

Famous Mine to Reopen
Brisbane, Queens1.—An attempt is

which, at its peak, was one of the
richest gold mines in the world. The
reopening is with the idea of work-

Already 66 men have started work.
As the work progresses more will
be absorbed.
The work has meant the salva-
tion of the town of Mt. Morgan,
which, since the mine closed some
years ago has been gradually de-
clining. -
