REAL "DOGS OF WAF,."
They Used to Wear Coats of Mail and
Carry Firebrands.
"Dogs nf war" is a phrase which
ouch? meant a thing ns real as the war
horse. Dogs litive played their part in
battles and campaigns, and in the old
wars between England and Scotland
dogs were used b.v both combatants
for pursuing and killing fugitives aft
er a defeat.
It is relented that Wallace and Bruce
each had close escapes froiu capture
by Eugllsh bloodhounds. Bruce is said
to have thrown the English dog off the
scent by the now well known expedi
ent of wailing up a stream far enough
to bailie itis pursuers, and Wallace
evaded Hie In.iimls hy having recourse
to a irii k mure or less common In those
blooily times nt killing a follower and
leaving lite l«'i!v in the dugs' path for
them to come upon The dogs finding
a body Iwlieved that their task was
d<>ne anil ili-'i-oulii.ued tlie hunt
In the history ol the wars of the
middle ages one funis refereuce to the
use of big decs against cavalry for
the purpose of throwing the horses
into confusion and not alone for caus
ing pauic. but casualties, tor these
tierce canine partisans were clothed in
coats of mail studded with spikes and
having scythes lilted to their harness.
instances are nvurded where war
dogs with lire lira lids fastened to their
coats of mail have been set on an
enemy's camp wi;h destructive results.
Ilenry VIII. must have found dogs
useful in military ways, because in
English history it is written that he
offered the use ot td.uoO auxiliaries and
•1.0(10 war dogs to King Charles V. of
Spain to aid that monarch in his war
with Francis I
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth
when the Earl of Essex entered Ire
la!. I for the purpose of suppressing in

A LITERARY GLUTTON.
Magliabecchi Was Too Busy With His
Boohs to Draw His Salary.
The most picturesque ligure in the
annuls ot Italian librarlanship is un
doubtedly A u ton to Magliabecchi. While
his oflicial portion as librarian to Cos
mo HI., grand duke of Tuscany, gave
him con-id -1:1 '»ie prominence, he is re
nienii'i re.] more especially for his per
sonal c'lur.icteristlrs and his vast store
of self i ijuired learning. He has been
desriibed 'iv a lit.-T.-iry glutton and the
most rational of bibliomaniacs, inas
much as he read everything he bought
His own library consisted of 40,000
books and 10.000 manuscripts. His
house literally overflowed with books.
The stairways were liued with them,
anil .the.v oven tilled the front porch.
SCENE FROM "THE VIPER."
BELIEVING her husband to have
died iii n fire, Mary Crane mar
ries u second time. The couple
speed their honeymoon on n yacht. A
man Is discovered desperately rowing
toward the yacht in an effort to es
cape from a band of men who are pur
suing. The crew of the vessel save
[ his life—and tlie wife discovers that
I the man is none other than the hus
band she had thought dead.
This is the amazing situation which
confronts the leading character in
'"The Viper." One of the smugglers
from whom the worthless man was
trying to escape ends the difficulties
by shootTng the fugitive.
The cast has been selected for "The
Sins of the Mother," the photo play by
Elaine Sterne, which won a prize of
$1,000. Anita Stewart, Julia Swayne
'Gordon, Earle Williams, Lucille Lee
and Paul Scaidon will appear.

extremely negligent He even forgot
to draw bis salary for over a year,
says the North American Review. He
wore his clothes until tbey fell from
him and thought It a great waste of
time to undress at night, "life being
so short and books so plentiful" He
welcomed all inquiring scholars provid
ed tho.v did not disturb him while at
work.
I'erbaps the most extraordinary II
brnclanship was that enjoyed by Dide
rot. who about 1705 decided to sell bis
library in order to provide n dowry for
his daughter. The Empress Catherine
of Russia heard through Grimm of the
stiiiits to which Diderot bad been re
duced and instructed her agent to buy
in tlie library at the owner's valuation,
in this way Diderot received not otly
10.UU0 iivrcs, but he was graciously re
quested to consider himself the li
brarian of the new purchase at a sal
ary of 1,000 llvres a year. Moreover—
and this begins to sound like a fairy
tale-Diderot was paid the salary for
fifty years In advance.
Beginning War.
There was a great difference in the
manner of commencing a war centuries
ago to what there is now. Now the
blow is frequently struck before the
word, and there is no obligation to is
sue a formal declaration at all, the act
of war constituting tbe declaration.
Out in medieval times no war ever
begau without n formal declaration by
a herald, who in a most leisurely man
uer breathed defiance on tbe part o*
bis royal master, exchanged Innumer
able bows with his enemies and de
parted in as dignified a manner as he
came.—Loudon Chronicle.
Where Was Wales?
Spencer Leigh Hughes, M. P., tells
of tbe following amusing experience:
He was once passing tbe war office
building in Whitehall when his com
panion. a Scotchman, pointing to the
emblematic devices engraved over the
,;oor. indicated the Scotch thistle, the
English lion and the Irish barp.
"Where is the emblem of Wales?" ask
ed his friend "Ob." Mr. Hughes re
plied. "1 expect there is a leak In
the roof."—London Express.
Cooling Water Without Ice.
To cool water without using ice get
a slender glass test tube from any
chemist. Half fill it with nitrate of
ammonia salts, till up with water and
cork tightly. Shake till the salt Is dis
solved. Be careful to wipe tbe outside
of the tube dry in order tSat all trace
of the nitrate may be removed. Place
this tifbe in a glass of water and stir
as you would with a spoon. Tbe wa
ter is rapidly chilled. Tbe nitrate of
ammonia salts can be bought of any
chemist.—Loudon Opinion.

Wanton War.
What Is most astonishing, according
to my way of looking at it, is that
men should bring each other into such
a state; that men who have seen such
a sight should not sink down on their
knees and swear n passionate oath to
make war on war: that if they are
princes they do not (ling the sword
away or if the.v are in any position of
power they do not from that monaent
devote their whole action in speech or
writing, in thought, teaching or busi
ness to this one end—lay down your
arms.—Baroness von Suttner.
Ignition Temperature.
Fuel will nut Ixiru until it has reach
ed what is knowu as the igniting tem
perature. That temperature varies
with different kinds of fuel. Coal gas
does not burn below a red heat of
Iron, and carbon, such as charcoal, has
a still higher igniting point. A piece
of irou heated dim red will not ignite
a gas jet. but If the irou is heated till
it approaches orange color it will light
the gas. The igniting temperature of
coal burned in locomotive fireboxes is
about 1.300 degrees F. Firebox tem
perature is about 3,000 degrees F.
Crossing the Tracks.
People are incredibly careless in re
gard to crossing railway tracks. A
statistical study of accidents states
that out of 32,071) cases only 29S per
sons In vehicles or on foot fully obeyed
the "Stop, Look and Listen-' sign or
waited for the watchmen's signal be
fore crossing the tracks; 8,77<> persons
looked in one direction, but not the oth
er, 4.6S0 look ltd both ways, but neither
listened nor stopped. The "safety
first" campaign is surely a timely one
in the face of such conditions.
A Duke at Church.
There was a certain old duke who
used to sit up In the left hand gallery
with his duchess, believing himself to
be incog. One Suudav a too officious
steward, on seeing the old nobleman
take a back seat, hurried up to him
and said, "Will not your grace have a
better seat?"
"Come along, Maria!" said the old
duke. "We're discovered!" And he
immediately walked out with the duch
ess and never showed his face inside
the church again.—London Tatler.
Tough Luck.
"Awful accident up at Hardluek's,
wasn't it?"
"What was it?"
"A plumber was C xing some leaks
when he was asphyxiated by the gas.
and he didn't recover consciousness
for nineteen hours."
"I should say it wf.s awful. What a
bill Hardloek will get!" - New York
World.
