RAILWAY POLICE DOGS.
How They Are Trained to Guard M
Company's Property.
Aa an additional protection to the
Hull dock a scheme haa )uat bees,
formulated by which tha polio ooo
a tab lee of tha North Eastern Rail
way on night duty win be sssisted by
doga.
It la the Airedale breed that la em
ployed and the experiment haa bees
attended with eo much eucoeaa that
large kennels have been provided and
It la now proposed to augment the
number of animals. Tramps scarcely
ever sleep out on the docks now, but
hold the dogs In deadly terror.
Each dog undergoes a most ela
borate training which centres wholly
around one Idea, that every person
dragged In other than police uniform
Is an enemy. This Is an important
point and no person dressed In plain
clothes Is allowed to touch or pet tha
doga.
The policemen who tend them must
only enter the kennels In uniform.
The logs are taught to obey a police
man's whistle which they soon learn,
for the Airedale terrier Is obedient.
Each animal undergoes strict and
rigid training and so far the doga hare
rendered most valuable service. Rail
way and Travel Monthly.
A Radium Safe.
A radium safe Is necessarily a pe
collar contrivance, as it must not only
be proof against burglars; but must
be able to hold a substance that easily
passes through the thickest steel. The
new safe of the British Radium Cor
poration Is three feet high, weighs a
ton and a half, haa a tight-fitting cir
cular door, and contains , an Inner
chamber of pure lead three Inches'
thick. . To prevent loss on opening,
the door Is fitted with two valves, so
that, before the door Is opened, tube
of mercury can be passed through to
collect and store the emanation
formed. This corporation expects to
supply one thirtieth of an ounce of
radium a month, valued, at the latest
quotations, at the rate of about it.

Substitute for a Olaee Cutter.
Occasionally the man of the bouse
or his wife may have need to cut a
sheet of window glass and be without
a glass cutter of any kind that will
work.
An excellent substitute for the
work Is a pair of heavy scissors or
shears that are of no particular value.
Submerge the glass In water to a
depth of three or four Inches and cut
the edges as you would a piece of
pasteboard. A plate of glass may not
be divided in half with this appa
ratus, as It Is supposed the narrow
clippings will break away; but unless
blUng too deep In the main sheet that
Is to be preserved the weight of the

Art in Cataoomba.
The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about 580 miles In' extent
and are said to have contained 0,000,
000 bodies. ' During the persecuUons
of the Christians by Nero and other
Roman Emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Dio
cletian the catacombs were crowded
with those for whom there was no
safety. In the face of day. The art of
the catacombs Is unique and most In
teresting. Simple designs are etched
In the slabs which seal the tombs.
Now and then are small chapel
where paintings are to be found. All
are Bible illustrations, so that the
catacombs may be said to be a pictor

There la a popular taadltlon thai

the splinters of a tree struck by

There Is more Catarrh In this section of

supposed to be incurable. For a great
maay years doctors prcnounoed It a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
I by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it inourauie. ci
enoe has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh

DOWAGER GOING OUT.
Title Gives Way to Christian
In Social Circles.
The word "dowager" seems to be
going quite out of fashion, and many
who should so style themselves prefer
i to use Instead their Christian names.
Strictly speaking tbe mother of a mar
ried peer or baronet la the dowager,
but it has become the custom when
two ladles bear tbe same title to o&ll
' the elder one by her Christian name,
I the distinction dowager being drop
: ptd altogether.
j At court, however, all widows of
: peers and buroueta are styled dowag
' er when the peer or baronet regnant
Is married. The Christian name was
adopted some years ago In cases
! where there were more than two hv
dies bearing the same title In order
' to make a distinction between the
I dowager and the wife of the holder
, of the title, and the Innovation has be
I come so popular that peeresses and
! bayonets' wives who should style
themselves dowager elect to be known
by their Christian names. Thus the
widow of the late Earl of Dudley la
known as Georgians Lady Dudley, but
actually she Is Dowager Lady Dudley.
The Cows of Muscat.
Muscat Is famed as the hotbed of
smugglers In the Persian Oulf, the
nearby desert tribes being regularly
supplied with arms despite the efforts
of the British patriot. But to tha
writer the odd antics of the cows of
Muscat seemed nothing short of freak
ish. Tbey actually eat fish. No grass
grows, so tbe wily Arab teaches his
family cow to subsist on. dates and
dried fish. The milk tastes queer to a
foreigner, which is probably why the
Arab likes It. He also claims It ts
rt.-her and makes more butter, but
rorot ridiculous of all Is the deception
pr i.eticed on rows when the calves
are weaned. A calfskin, or sometimes
a .. u-kln, Is stuffed with rags and
ti'd not far from where the mothes
cow is anchored. This effigy of her
Int.! lamented offspring soothes her
nerves and keeps her from "golns;
sy," arrordlnK to Arabic tjasitius.
