Brussels is now much in the eye of the public, and all who have visited that scrupulously clean city must have been greatly struck with its dogs. For the dog is used as a worker in Belgium, and he is part and parcel of the day's toil. There are the draught dogs of the milk and vegetable sellers, Now many are being used in the Belgian army for the purpose of pulling light ma- chine guns and appliances associat- ed with the army medical corps. The draught dog of Belgium is a fine and husky fellow. He is an off-ghoot of the (Danish dog, his strength is considerable and his pace is good. He is firm on his feet and his pads are so hard, tough, and tried that he is free from foot weariness, and when there is no work doing he lies down in his harness between the ghafts of the two-wheel cart and dozes off with his big and sensible head between his forefeet. Awake he either barks his greetings to a passing friend or greets an old enemy with a savage salute. The dog market in Brussels on Sunday mornings is an attractive place, held, as it is, in the Hotel de Ville Square. It is here that a dog and cart turnout can be purchased; and there is both new and old har- ness from which to choose. The would-be buyer can give a dog a trial between the shafts of the cart and put the weight behind the dog that the seller claims the animal can draw. The dog is one of the cogs of the wheel of industry, and with the vendors of dairy and truck farm produce in the cities and towns no animals would be more missed than the draught dogs. A large number of Belgian dogs have from time to time been pur- chased for and used as pack dogs in Alaska or' for expe itions in other countries. The harness pro- vided for these dogs consists of a | collar like that on a leading horse, a back band, and traces. In the | case of shaft harness there is a pack saddle, and the usual tugs as found in an ordinary equine equip- ment. When a dog is-used for -the J purposes of a baker's . cart he is tohed to the vehicle, a band or collar is put on, and his free save, generally, for a .

Reviewing the attitude of Ger- mans in America toward the war, Henry Watterson in the Louisville Courier-Journal says: "It may be harder for a German than an American to differentiate the German Kaiser and the German people. Kaiser stands as the eymbol of all that is loyal in the Teuton heart. This sentiment is augmented in the case of a Kaiser, admittedly great, a leader of men, a king among kings. Racial . antipathies, too, with respect at least to the French, interpose to inflame anew the ir repressible conflict of blood and ages, witnessing on either side mul- tiplied offences and reprisals. "Nevertheless, to the average American who considers the insti- butions of his own country as dis- tinguished from the institutions of Germany. the Kaiser appears as, though a brilliant personality, an odious despot. His government is to our seeing, the sum of all in- iquity. Who believes in ib cannot believe in the government of the United States. "That a wise and good despot may for the time being insure wise and good government may be true enough, That the government of the mob may be supremely bad -- even tyrannous--is likewise true. But, as between the one-man pow- er and the many-men power, the mass and body of human kind will in the long run fare best with the many men power. "We may hold in abeyance re: sponsibility for the awful cataelvem which has come upon the world. The future will take care of that. But we cannot shut our eyes to its most conspicuous figure and the system of which he is the embodi- ment. Nicholas of Russia is yet but a figure of speech. George of England is hardlly more. Franz Josef, clinging to the ragged edge of tragedy, is simply pathetic. Wil liam of Germany directs the winds and rules the storms of battle. He is, the one and only war lord. His triumph would mean the arrest of liberty, the confirmation and - ex- tension of arbitrary power, the re- call of feudal principles and meth- "Honest, liberty-loving Germans have as little cause to support such an eventuality as honest, liberty- loving Americans. They owe no more to the Hohenzollerns than the French owed to the Capets, the Austrians to the Hapsburgs, and the English to the Stuarts. 8o, why should they who dwell in America--who have found it a for- tunate land--be ouick to 'quarrel with' their neighbors upon the in- cidents of such a war? "All of us, roughly speaking, wish to see the end of absolutism everywhere--no less in Russia and Austria than in Germany--and con- sequently during this war we wish success to the allies and defeat for the Kaiser's arms and armies. That does not portend that, when the war is over and the German people have the chance to establish a government of their own--as the ¥rench did after Sedan--we shall not be ready to unite against au- toeracy in Russia and fight sturdy commercial battle with Eng- land for control of the markets of the world. But no 'Emperor of Eu- rope' for us! No war lord of the universe in ours!" Got Yarning. Baggs and Jaggs met and Baggs and Jaggs got 'yarning. "I. once knew a man, dear boy," 'began Baggs, 'who was so ticklish on the soles of his feet that whenever. he took a bath he had to walk about afterwards en a big piece of blot- ting-paper.

This is the fact that notices have once again appeared in many win- dows announcing excursions and! cheap tickets to the various seaside resorts, and the flow of visitors to the popular south coast is again in- creasing, which shows signs of the populace returning to normal con- ditions, and a great deal of the hys- teria is being lived down. ' Perhaps never before in the whole history of the country has any ap- peal been so responded to as has the Prince of Wales National Fund. It has already overrun the $10,000,000 mark, and is growing rapidly daily. Many school teachers had their holidays curtailed, and have ve- turned to their duty some twelve days before their time had expired. This was in order that in many cases the children could be kept to-! gether as much as possible, and watch could 'be kept over them to see that they were fed while their fathers have gone to the war, TN in Serious Loss to Germany. Germans are not as a rule sue cessful colonists, but Togoland, in Africa, which has fallen into the hands of the British and is likely to remain there, has always been a kind of toy to the German merchant since its annexation just 30 years ago. The great achievement in the colony has been the initiation of a cotton trade, and nothing has been spared to foster the industry. Most elaborate experiments were made before it was decided that the na- tive seed would produce a staple equal to the average American. Model centres of instruction, model farms were set up. and a great -efs fort was made to induce negro farmers from the Southern States of America to settle there. Chemi- cal manure was supplied free from Germany, and exhibits of fabrics made from the Togoland cotton have heen held at Dusseldorf and elsewhere. eee eet The Little Things.
