Carrying is one of the most popular accomplishnaents of the trained dog. And it is useful too; -anine messen- gers were invaluable during the war, and evtry years many lives are sav»ii 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 > iUing assistant. The old gentle- man would say, ''Rex, get the broom," ard 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 th,> 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, ani 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, ticere is another reasc , one we might term physiological, why you will suc- ceed more qu'oUly with the youngster. Begin when he is teething; his gums arc 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 othsr purpose than to help nature in de- â-¼eloping his teeth. II is instinct. Certainly, dogs will le.".rn carrying at any age, but it is far easier to teach then, when they are .eething. Perhaps a glove is the best object to start with. Drawing it through his mouth makes his guns feel better, and secondly the scent of his master on 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. Sportsn-.en, in training of re- trievers, have to guard particularly against developing of hard mouth. Movement interes'ts animals of all kinds more than anything else. Even an object unattractive in itself will secure a dog's notice i thrown a litile distance, with a gesture for him to go get it. Sometimes a pretence to race with him for the object will awaken the djsired response; and it is very natural when he reaches the object to grab it up in his mouch. K 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 anil fingers on the other, press his lips against his teeth. This will open his mouth, and you s'.ould be ready with the other hand i.o place the glove in it. Now slip jour 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 ycur hand gradually back until it is on hii 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 i thus to discriminate â€" more quickly I than you may believe. ! The only way â€" at any rate, the besi ; way â€" to train a dog to go aft^r things alone, or do any tricks without your supervision, is to go through the i 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 I'fter 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 shiuld teach the carrier dog not to giva up his package or message to any stranger. Have some pepsin with vhom your pet is not acquainted start to take the object from the dog's mouth then change his mind. Let this be 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 >ifforts. Do not ask impossibilit.e.? of the dog. Let there be a definite end to his search for an object. Some fine dogs have been injursd by staying in water too long searching for «. duck their master had or jught 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 ni^'h kill himself t". obey orders, but his uaster should not -jomiit this.

Japanese Barberry Rated With Most Useful Plants Although not as famous aa the rose or lilac, the Japanese barberry ranks with the California privet as one ot 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 tor its part in the dissemination ot 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 ot Nehemiah Grew, an English physi- cian and vegetable physiologist, con- tains about seventy species ot shrubs, mostly found in warm cli- mates. A few species like parvlUora have been tried under cultivation in temperate zone gardens and found to ba reasonably hardy. Classified Advertising WXEKLX KE-WSFAPEB WA.VTCS.

UGLY FAT So Fat that People Stared "Puffed" to"mik 10 Yards Some people suppose that fatness Is necessarily constitutional â€" a natural â- V^te against which struggle Is In vain. Ttils man's experience disproves that â€" and on his own description ho was an extreme case. "I w.is 220 lbs. tw^o years ago. I am only 5 ft. high and I looked awful! Through diet and Kruschen, I am now 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 hnywhere without a stare. And atter walking 10 yard* I puffed awful. Lite was a misery to me. Nov I am all right. There never was such a difference In a man." â€" E. W. R.

Quebec Leads in Bachelors It raust 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 â€" which ought to know â€" Quebec has the highest percentage ot un- married people ot 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. Ot the total number ot 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 playod « 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 i state win be found less interesting than the married, and that the un- wedded of both se.-scs will come to the conclusionâ€" singly, of course, not by battalionsâ€" that it is better to be married and comfortable than un- m-rried atui lonelyâ€" Montreal Dally Star.
