chase. In Yorkshire Ainpe ihefe are ten
packs Of f,x-hnunds, one pSck at sag
hoinds and STA of barriers. equal in all 10
thirteen ar fourteen packs OF x-hound~.
couple each, making total of l,3OO
rounds, consume annually 200 tons Of
DAT meal, at a cost of $4,000, beside the
carcasses of about 1000 dead horses.
Such are some of the items of expense
attendant upon the chase. ireland re-
turns 100000 dogs for taxation, but the
contraband dogs are largely in msjority.
In France the number of dogs was es-
timatod at $3.50, 900, or one for every fif-
teen in population. Theta in that coun-
try is about six francs, or nearly one dol
lar aud one eighth per head. Many are
thrown into the Seine by their owners
rather than pay the tax. In the city Of
Berlin the dog-tax is about two and one
quarter dollars each, and it is found that
there are about $1,000 dogs kept, and Of
these 5000 are used in drawing carts.
In Wurtemburg the dog tax brings $780,
600; in the Hawaiian Islands, $4,000.
On the Continent thousands of dogs
are harnessed to small carts, and it is
we'll known that d"g-trains for sledges
are employed in the Arctic regions. such
is the tleetness of Arctic dogs that they
have been known to perform y journey Of
270 miles in three days aud a-half, and
SO great is their strength that the five lit
tie dogs usually attached to the siedge
will convey three persons, and their bag
gage, u distance of sixty miles aday over
the snow. A traveller asserts that three
Of these dogs would draw him on II
sledge weighing 100 pounds at the rate
of one mile in six minutes; and as
proof of the strength of we'll. grown
dog, his leader drew 1876 pounds singly
for a distance Of mile in eight minutes.
Afterwards,in carrying stores to.the ship,
one mile distant, nine dogs drew 161
pounds in the space of nine minutes.
The skin of the dog is in demand, to
be tanned for leather in the manufacture
OF gloves and shoes. The flesh OF dogs
is eaten by the Chinese, the New Zea-
landers, the South Sea Islanders, and by
some African tribes; I, 200 dogs, it is stated,
were eaten in Paris during the last siege,
and the flesh sold ut thirty seven to sixty
cents per pound. According to PIiny,
puppies we're considered great delicacy
10y the Roman gourmsnds. Wild dogs
are eaten by the natives of Australia, but
in New Zealand the dogs are specially
fed and iattened for the slaughter. Cap
tain Cook looked upon South Sea dog
as little inferior to al English lamb.
The quantity Of dog meat consumed 10
this country is matter of jocular esti-
mate.
