from, otherwise he may find himself imposed

1t of those who cannot readily get an expert
opinion i will give few hints as to the selec-
ton OF dogs generally. First see that the dog
Is healthy, then that he be strong in the type Of
his breed In most breeds of dogs, especially
those used to field or other work, they should
stand straight on their legs and have good feet
Arched and well padded. / do not now refer to
the dachshound, whose crooked foreiegs are
one OF his chief characteristics Sufficient bone
and development of muscle should be looked
for, and in the larger breeds, ST. Bernard and
mastid, great niassiveness is desirable.
Let rs frst take the pointer. Like al hunt
ing dogs he should be rather racy in build,
showing great activity, with q fair amount OF
bone and good development Of muscle. He
should have good depth Of chest for lung
room, ribs fairly well sprung back Of shout
ders, loins strong and slightly arched, great
liberty Of shoulders, all Of which tend TO in
sure speed and staying qualities. Above all,
particular attention should be paid to the legs
and feet. The skull should be well developed,

POINTER.

The collie is the most useful Of all dogs to
the farmer. In choosing a collie particular at
tention must be paid to his coat as he is ex-
posed to all kinds of weather. collie ac-
ually has two coats. The top coat should be
long. dense and hard What is known as the
under coat is a short. fur-like hair. which rem
ders the animal almost impervIous to wet. In
build the collie should be rather light his form
indicating extreme activity. He should have
sufficient boue to carry him well. His head
should be moderately wide between the ears;
the skull quite fiat; little or no stock or de-
preston below the eyes; muzzle long; ears
quite small and carried semi-ereet. The pre-
yailing fashionable color is a rich sable with
white markings, though many of the older
and best specimens are black-and-tan in color
English greyhounds are becoming very popu-
lar In the west, where a few years ago coursing
club was formed in Kansas, the dogs being
coursed upon the jack rabbit. This is also be-
boming quite favorite sport in California A
good puppy has the following points: His bone
should should be of fairly good weight. Many
hounds lack this important characteristic. be-
ing too light especially at the pasterns. The
foot should be round, hard and well padded.
This is termed the "cat" foot. somew what
longer foot termed ''hare" foot is equally as
serviceable provided it be properly constructed
He should be well muscled, especially in the
hind quarters. The loins should be well arched
and the depth of muscle, more than width.
well bent, measurement long from hip to back
to give propelling power. Head and neck long
and clean; ears small, shoulders sIoping, chest
deep, ribs moderately well sprung, and he
should have no fuiness of skull or cheeks. The
color is of no special moment, although black
is the most fashionable.
The fox terrier is a small and useful animal
and has attained high place in the fashion,
able canine world. The best puppy is strong
boned, has long mrzzle, strong jaws, small
ears. carried nearly fat to the cheek and point
ing toward the eyes, and small eyes. His coat
should be Of moderate length and hard, and
he should be compactly built, possessing great
terrier character.
The King Charles and Blenheim spanels are
now the most fashionable pet dogs and have
almost entirely supplanted the pugs. Tie
King Charles is black and tan in color and the
Blenheim is white with lemon markings. The
color marks the chief difference between the
breeds. The best puppy has round, full skull
and large and prominent eyes. The shorter
the muZZle the better. His ears should be long
and pendulous, coat and feathers profuse. The
coat should be fiat and straight. any curl in the
coat being decidedly object enable. The run
ming parts of these dogs are not of importance,
as they are strictly pet dogs and have no work
to perform. H. CLAY GLOVER OVS

ENGLISH SETTER.

dogs the foremost kennels of the European
breeders have been ransacked for the finest
specimens. This interest has not been con-
fined to professional breeders, but it has ex-
tended to gentlemen of money and leisure
with whom the dog is q hobby. The best
specimens obtainable by money have been
imported from England. Notably among these
breeds are the st. Demands, collies, English
settlers, Irish settlers, beagle hunds and fox
terriers. Among the especially neglected
breeds is the Gordon setter, owing to the
general impression that he is not the equal of
either the English Irish setter in field
qualities. This impression Is not wholly with
out foundation. as the Gordon has made little
or no reputation in the field trials which are
held every fall in several game districts in the
east. west and south for the public composition
OF all breeds of settlers and pointers. English
settlers have received the most attention and
are by far the most popular strain. a. is evil
dent from the numbers running in the field
trials. which far Outnumber Irish and Gordons
combined.
Next to the English setter in favor comes
the pointer, while few tack their colors to the
Irish setter. OF the English settlers the most
popular strain is the Llewyllen, which origi-
mated with Purcell Llewyllen, and was pro-
duced by cross of the Laverack setter on the
Duke-RhGbe blood Duke and Rhebe were
the foundation of the Llewyllen kennels.
Why Llewyllens are so fashionable is on &C.
count Of success at the field trials, where they
have displayed great brilliancy in the character
of their work. Another strain by English set
tiers affected BY few is the Laverack, which
originated with Edward Laverack, and has
undoubtedly been bred purely, as far as setter
blood Is concerned, for the past one hundred
years. When l say so far as setter blood is
concerned mean that there has been no blood
infused into these dogs except that of the set
ter, and though the tabulated pedigrees show
that the entire race sprung from four dogs
there is sufficient evidence to prove that Ed
ward Laverack bred to any setter blood that ne
thought would improve his dogs. This fact I
believe is now generally conceded.
the reason have dwelt so long upon the
setter is because it is the most popular Of all
hunting dogs, though the pointer is rapidly
coming to the front.
As an example Of the high prices paid for
dogs by Americans will mention the rough
coated Sc. Bernard dog Piinlimmon purchased
by ]. K Emmett in England at the actual cost
Of 5000. The pointer dog Faust, il I mistake
not, was imported by the st. Louis kennel club
at q cost Of about Sl.S00 The pointer dog Naso
of Kippen was imported by the Westminster ken
mel club at a very large figure, which believe
vas never made public. The pointer dog Graphic

To choose dog, especially a puppy. and to

name the winning horse before race. Still
there are certain rules that are laid down
which will lend a man material aid in his task.
j cannot choose dog for your readers, but I
can give them some points as a guide in the
selection and which generally observed by
the judges in dog shows, prominent among
which are the Westminster kennel clubs an

are given At many Of these shows have been
honored with the position Of judge.
Since the first exhibition Of the Westminster
kennel club in 1877, which was the first show
given by a regular kennel club IN this country,
the interest in thoroughbred dogs has been
constantly growing. Before that time the ma
jority of dogs were indiferently bred and little
or no attention given to pedigrees, but since
then we have made strides IN the improvement
of all breeds Of dogs. As public interest has

COMFORT FOR BRIDES,
How to Get Duplicate Wedding Gifts
Exchanged to Their Satisfaction.

exchanged TO lhe1r Satisfaction.
From the New York Tribune.
six butter knives! four salad spoons! nine
cruet standsi three pairs Of sugar tongs! and
eight water pitchers! Was ever girl 80 un-
fortunate?" exclaimed a perplexed country
bride the other day as she sorted out her we'd
ding gifts on returning from her bridal tour.
''why could they not have consulted together
little and have avoided all these duplicates?
Anyway, We shall never want for butter knives
salad spoons, cruet stands, sugar tongs or
water pitchers for the rest of our natural lives
Nowif this young bride had been city girl
she would not have mourned SO much over the
ordinary incident. She would simply have
written Q short note to one of two or three
well-known dealers in the city and ON the fol-
lowing day neat cab would stop at her door
and q weii-dressed woman would call on her.
Before the caller departed she would have
fixed with the bride upon q cash price for all
her duplicate gifts, or would have agreed to
exchange them for more useful articles of
household furniture.
SO common has this way OF doing things be-
come that many people now send with their
gifts note saying that if they are duplicates
they may be SO dealt with. Yet most people
would prefer to give something that should be
unique among the brides collection, and il is
annoying, after having chased the town over
for something pretty that does not cost too
much, TO get q note from the happy couple
thanking you and adding that your album or
sofa cushion was by far the prettiest of the four
received How much better to follow the fash
ion set by the Kansas farmer who sent to the
wedding Of his son shorthorn heifer for the
bride and key Of whisky for the guests. No
fear Of duplication about his gifts.
Another advantage which city folk may de-
rive from this kind Of dealer is the ability to go
into his shop and order big array of glitter
ing things to be sent up to the house and there
displayed a. genuine wedding gifts from dis
tant relatives. After the ceremony they can be
returned at q trifing cost for rental and the
reputation Of the brides friends for generosity
II saved, at least as far as outsiders are con-
cerned. What the bridegroom who is greedy
enough TO make mental note Of the amount
those gifts would bring from his uncle" may
say or do when he discovers the little fraud il
left to take Of itself till the time comes. There
Il no use borrowing trouble. The bride may
be widow or divorced by that time, like the
Chicago girl who was accused by her bosom
friend Of becoming engaged to be married
She admitted it, shyly adding: Eyes, ] thought
! would try welded life for q while.'
