A SMALL CRAZE.


America is the representative country
of the world. All Europe, with facilities
and arts that are the outgrowths of nu-
merous centuries, looks with amazement
at land where but little over a century
ago the people combined to bring her to
a position among nations, and the result,
while wonderful, is study for all think
ing people. Energy, vigor, and force of
character, with something that required
the doing, are the natural factors, of the
great result. The LADIES JOURNAL
once knew a young American lady who
had married titled Russian. Her hus-
band was df2ettante, though worn out
man of pleasure. There was little for
our American girl to do or think of.
With great energy and force of charac
ter, she began work to her taste. She
SeWed great part Of the day. She con-
constructed the most beautiful skirt fronts
Tor her own and little daughters dresses.
She combined vallencennes and thread
lace into the most delicate and beautiful
robes, and with nothing to do actually.
She produced choice and beautiful work
And so it is with Americans, Mey yi2z
go forward, they have traits that will
progress. So we predict that the slittle
dog fashion, though curious one,
will not long have sway in America.
Thirty years since many inferior
specimens of the King Charles, with
coats grown curly through absence of
comb and brush, and bodies obese and

Queen Bess was very fond diminutive
creatures, far smaller than any dog of
the same variety that we have now.
The Blenheim spaniel was formerly
much greater favorite than now; but
for years all these varieties Of pet or toy
spaniels deteriorated, and with the ep-
och of dog shows had well-nigh gone out
OF fashion. OF late years attention has
been given to the Japanese spaniels or
Ipugs, as they were called when first in
'uoduced in this country. Black and
white in color, with many toy spaniel
characteristics, especially in texture of
coat and shortness of face, they partake
of the pug in carriage of tail, which is
curled over either the right or left side
of the back. Most of the specimens in
this country have been eight pounds
in weight each or more. The choicest
should be five pounds orless, for it is the
custom Of the Japanese man of fashion to
carry such up his sleeve, from which
habit the tiniest specimens sometimes are
known as Sleeve Dogs The latter,
in the land of the Celestial Empire.
are worth from a hundred dollars up
ward each, whilst one-ffth of such sum
would purchase the larger specimens.
To many these prices seem high: but
here and in England to-day five hundred
dollars can be commanded for a really
tip-top toy spaniel; indeed, such an
amount was paid for the King Charles
Bend Or not many weeks ago. The
other day the wife of a well-known
American actor gave thousand dollars
and some more for a Yorkshire terrier
This wonderful little creature was be-
low five pounds in weight, had a coat
which almost touched the ground more
over Symmetrically and muscularly pro
portioned, he was said to possess cour-
age to kill large rat Such specimens
though rare are occasionally to be met
with in Yorkshire hence their name.
The trouble entailed in keeping such
long coats in perfection, both as regards
color and sottness, will always prevent
their being actual popular tavorites.

In selecting two brigadiers the president
