Oiir present method of using pork is nuito diff â- lent from the old way. The hams nnd .sliouldors are nicely ("rimmed and wiih h11 (he meat put in (he foif- eo*n{> brine nbont six weeks. The hams and .sh'iildiTs are then taken out, diMined, nnd every p.nrt of the flesh side nnd Ihe end of the bones rubbed wUh a niLvclure of equal parts of ground black and cayemie pepper. They are then snioked. No definite nilo can be given f'lr smoking, Ihe conditions are fro varied.

Queer GU.IIU) OF THE COWS. Duly of ISrilisli India. Soldiers in Out in India one actually finds Eng- lish soldiers standing sentry over cows. The cow is a sacred animal in Ihe eyes of the Brahmin, and this, of course, leads Ihe Moliammedan portion of the population to take a savage de- light in pulling to the sword all the cows upon which they can lay hands at certain times of the year. The result is that religious conflicts of the most sanguinary character frequently tnke place between the members of the rival creeds. It is wilh Ihe object of prevent- ing riots arising from cow-killing by the Mohammedans thiit English sentries arc now appointed in certain places, espe- cially in Bombay, to stand guard over that public benefactor whom "Tommy Atkins," deeply disgusted, has chris- tened "Saint Cow."

That a policeman on night duty in a great city would be more respected by ciiininals if accompanied by a powerful uiid sagacious dog is a reasonable sup- position, yet il icmained for little Bel- gium lo carry oui this innovationâ€" in Aiilwerii, Ghent, Mons, Bruges and Ostendâ€" an innovation wTiich has now spread to othei- parts of Europe. Mon- .sieur K. van Wesemael, Police Com- missioner of Cheat, was the first lo sug- gest trained dogs as au.xiliary police. Ill March, »8i)9, three Belgian sheep dogs were bought for hiin by the veter- inary olliccr of the city, and their train- ing was at once taken in hand by tho Police Commissioner. Shorlly before r;hristmas ten dug policemen were at work, and alter a reasonable period had elapsed a report was sent to the burgo- master. Alter ten monlhs of trial tho most conservative members of the City Council of Ohonl bceama enthusiasts over Iho new police recruits and voted more money for dogs to be u.setl in Iho Faubourg de Bruges and along tho smallc docks. Soon there were thirty big, powerful dog policemen on duty and working wilh surprising elliciency. I'hey would lake a new man over his night beat \vill> a zeal, a thoroughness and a relentless, systematic ardor that would kill a la/.y constable. They knew their work, and could and did correct many a man who was a stranger lo the hcul. The system is now a proved success, and the veleriiinry surgeon of the cily lieriodicnily go(« oul to liie fairs to buy dogs. Many breeds have been tried, but the best of nil is the big Belgian or French shephoid dog, the powerful and sagacious Biiards and Croenendaels, wilh hair long or short, wiry or silky. These are luimalched Ihe world over for their onduruncc, boldness, lldelity and intuitive insliii',-!. Some Uclgiiin ciliesâ€" Mons, St. Giles, nnd .SchiK-ibeek- buy their dogs nt ten nnd even eighreeii months el age, but M. \'an Wi-seiiiiiel prefers lo buy his rceruits when Iti.^y are six months old nnd vww be subjerled lo an eximuslive training witli .surer results. The period of training varies from three to six months. For tlio first fifteen days new recruits are kept in Ihe l<ennels and nrc merely tnuglil ohiylienre. Military brevity, combined wilti umnryin{J kindliness. In duo time certain night guards conic and lake out the reeriiils wilh tho veter- an dogs wlbii the night bell sounds. The dog police j'o on duly at 10 o'clock nl iiigtil und liiii-h work nt six in the morning. They never go oul in the day- lime, and on no account nre allowed to become acipuiiiitod wilh Ihe ordinary public. WEAB MUZZLES. When on duly each carries a leather collar bearing" n^ tin modal, wilh its name, birth dide, and the word "Po- lice." There Is iil>o a clonk lor stormy wcalhcr, which covers the body troin neck to tail. It is le;ilher inouiiled nnd wnlerpioof. The d"gs also wear muz- zles while on duty, tor their whole training niakis them regard Ihe civilkm ns uu enemy, nnd n mu/.zlo is riece.ssury for the protection of peaceable citizens. This muzzle is of n speeinl kind. It is a tin cup, pertoraled lor re.spiinlioir, which pieveiils Ihc dog from eating nny food he may find in the road nl nrghl. An clastic urrnngemont, howevr, per- mits the unmuzzling of Ihe animal in nn inslanl, v.hen the muzzle swings from the collar, ready to be replaced when the emergency has pa,ssed. Thus un- muzzled Iho well-fed, trained, and pow- erful animal is o formidable adversary even for an nrmcd burglar, besides be- ing an accessory of great use lo Iho night patrol, wlielher a criminal's in- tent is fight or Ilight. The enliro education of 11^ newly arrived dogs is underlakon by the brig- adiers-coiitroleurs, or ofllcere in author- ity over tho night patrol. When coach- ing Ihe dogs the brigadier-conlroleur is always in civil dress, and often lie sim- ulates Ihe appearance of a tramp or .sus- picious characler. He goe^ through Ihe pantomime of assaulting the night guards, runs nwny, slouchos along wilh suspicious bundles, leaps into ditches filled wilh deep water, scales high walls, and generally runs the whole ga- mut of a r.iscnl caught in Iho act. Every week the dog police are lined UP in the paddock for medical inspec- tion. They come to know this event, and if space permitted, one might relate amiLsing. pathetic nnd all but incredible anecdotes of the intelligence these care- fully selected and well trained brutes. When a new recruit is beginning to .show aplilude under training, the night guard lo whom it is assigned comes to the kennel and leads il forth when the patrols with the older dogs are assem- bled for duly. The men are provided wilh bones or scraps of meat for the newcomer, and in this way stress is laid on the lesson il is sought lo teach- namely, thai only men in police unifonn may bo trusted. All others are lo be eyed with suspicion, if not with positive ferocity. Later on the night patrol leads oul the beginner, lo familiarize it with every nook and corner of the beat. For one "month Ibis work goes on three or four hours of night, in all weathers, the hours of duly being gradually increased ti the standard eight. THE TBAINING. If Ihe animal is slow to understand the object lessons, he is fre<iuenl|/ teased ami irritated by a brigadier-con- lroleur. In extreme cases a slow-witted recruit is mallreatcd and even kicked nnd beaten a lillie by the ollicinl a_clor. .s;imultaiicously every policeman in tho slalion caresses the dog and gives it dainties. It is no wonder, then, llial the dog at the end of his training is al once eager to obey the commands of the po- lice, nnd more than eager to attack a suspicious-looking person in civil clothes. In many casos Ihe central police bu- reau maintains in its grounds artisli- cally arranged walls, water jumps and oilier obstacles, ns well as a regular staff of olliccrs skilled in training these d"gs. They accustom new canine rc- cniits to hearing revolver shots, to make Hying leai)s exceeding six feet, and lo attacking fugitives in the bond of the knee. They nre trained in this last respect by a pull al the leash when they jump for the neck. Thus when tho policeman "crimijial" in charge of the training feels the dog's muzzle touch tho back of his knee, he drops, to show that the oliject is al- laincd. This operation often repealed, shows the intelligent dog what the ob- ject of the pursuit Is, and ho-.v il may b« besl accomplished. After a time the animnl operates wilhout being held in leash, and yet instantly responds to its master's whistle, no mailer how head- long may be the pur.suil in whieh it is eiigageil. When nn oflilcer arrives on his beat h" releases his dog with the laconic command. "Cherchc." Instantly the dog passes swiftly into and around farms! and outhouses beyond Iho city bound-! ary. II knows all possible places of! concealment, for if during the earlier! stages of Ihe training its memory in this! respocl has been lax, morsels of meatj have been placed in remote corners as; an uifullible guide lo these places. ; The dog does more scouting in ten! minutes than its well-paid human com- nide could do in an hour. If it barks or growls or in any way gives notice of having found something suspicious, the pnlrol at once joins the dog. Each night guard, by the way, carries a revolver, wilh twenty rounds of ball carlridge, a whistle, handcuffs and a dark lantern. Strict orders are given to the men to. prevent their dogs from picking up; bones or tempting morsels on Ihe beat' Some superb animals were lost before the chief commissioner and his veterin-. ary surgeon setllcd on tho diet, which' now renders the dogs almost indifferentl lo delicacies casually found in the"- night. â-  SO.Mirn.MES POISONED. i Then men are warned never to take, away the body of a dog colleague sud- denly poisoned while on duty. Thoi malolaclor argues that tlic patrol will take up the body of his loyal and failh-i ful friend and bear il back to the bu-, reau, so leaving the field unguarded.; Tho mere fact of the poisoning of a dog; shows the proximity of a criminal on the beat, so the patrol must call for aidi from the next round if ho wants il and! push on in search of the criminal. Afterward he must carry the dog's' body lo tho police abattoir, so thai the( .veterinary surgeon may hold a post- mortem and detcrmuie the cause of death. The poisons most commonly used are strychnuie and prussic acid.! While on duly the dog rarely quits the, heels of its human colleague, save la. carry out the sharp military words of - command, "Chcrche!" "Atlaquel" and' .so on; hut it will rush to aid an olTicer. on a neighboring beat on hearing the shrill signal for assistance. i Before its first year is over. Indeed, the dog is as admirably drilled as the, smartesl Prussian infantryman. It' obeys the word of command without a. moment's hesitation. It will leap a' fsnce, swim a stream or walk in front, behind or at the side, according to its maslcr's pleasure. It is Imngry for work, pathclically anxious' to help. Wagging it.s tail with excitementâ€" whieh must always be suppressed while on duty â€" il is an amusing picture of im- pulsive zeal; great is its delight and ti'iuniph when it makes on arrest. One of the first foreign police olTicers Id inquire into and adopt the dogs was M. Lepine, Police Prefect of Paris. At first eight of these fine beasts wera bought tor M. Lepine. Tliese Paris pio- neersâ€" Pclvoux, Paris, Turco, Cesar, D'.-\rtagnan, Meidjc, Dinna and Athos â€" became the pels of all Paris, visitors- and residents alike. They proved so successful that their number was fast increased, until now every one of Le- pine's agents plongeurs is accompanied on his rounds along the Seiiio quays by a chien sauvcleur. The alert German Mintstcr of the In- terior sent a police coinmi.ssnry into Belgium to investigate for himself tha merits of Ihe dog police. The report of this ofiicial as to elliciency and economy' was so striking that within three years 13<) German corporations had also in- slalled dogs as au.\ilinry police, and were soon satisfied, as nlso were many' cities of Austria, Hungary nnd llaly, ofi Iho canine policeman's superb sen.sc of duly, as well as ils loynlly, vigilance, fliielily, and its indifference lo bribesi nnd saliirv nllke. ^>^^^^^^^^^>^^^fy Most people know that if they have been sick they need Scoil's Emul" jion to bring back hoalth and strength.
