was produced by cross between u

duced into Spanish America by the
early settlers sltsi 49,,
Their employment In hunting In

ally belligerent temper. until In time
they became the most dangerous Of
the canine kind These animals have
only the name In common with tho
British bloodhound, which IS a. far
finer animal It has the characterize

dogs. while the Cuban animal pos

trail of q man the bloodhound will
stick to it under circumstances OF al
most incredible difficulty, but when
tho quarry is run down will not at
tempt to attack. but will give tongue
until the hunters arrive. The fact
that these dogs were put on the trail
Of the Whitechapel murderer In the
most thickly populated section OF the
east end Of London. and that they at

they are not the ferocious brutes that
they are commonly supposed to be-.
The following description applies to
the true bloodhound and IL will be
seen that there are few points OF like
ness to his Cuban namesake: The
head Is the chief characteristic Of the
breed. the skull very long. often as
much as eleven inches in length. mar
row, and very much peaked. The
muzzle is deep and square, the ears
long. very thin, pendulous and set
very low, hanging close to the face
and curled upon themselves. The
eyes are hazel in color. deep set and
with triangular lids. The neck, is
long with great quantity OF loose
skin forming the dewlap. The dogs
are from twenty-five to twenty-seven
inches in height at the shoulder. The
color is usually black and tan. but
some animals are fecked with white
on the back. giving them the appear
ance Of having been out in snow
storm.
The bloodhound is exceedingly pow
erful, but as gentle as lapoog and al
most as intelligent as collie. Its
wonderful scent far surpasses that OF
any other member of the canine
family. No foxhound can compete
with it in this respect 10 track men
or animals through country not
thickly populated is an easy task to
the bloodhound. Once put on trail

More sleep.

A German specialist DIR. Cold, has
recently pleaded for giving young peo-
pie more sleep. A healthy infant
sleeps most Of the time during the
first weeks; and in the early years
people are disposed to let children
sleep as much as they will But from
six or seven. when school begins
there is complete change. At the
age Of ten or eleven. the child sleeps
only eight or nine hours, when he
needs at least ten or eleven, and as he
grows older the time Of rest Is short
ened. DR.. Cold believes that up to
twenty youth needs nine hours sleep.
and an adult should have eight or
nine With insufficient sleep the ner-
vous system and brain especially. not
resting enough. and ceasing to work
normally, we find exhaustion, excit-
ability and intellectual disorders gradu-
ally taking the place Of love OF work,
general well-being and the spirit of

CLOTHES OF EUROPEAN TOURISTS.

Returning European steamers are still
bringing back to our shores the American
tourists and pleasure seekers who for the
past several months or less have been en-
joying life abroad. Many millions of dol
lars have been expended in travel, in sight
seeing and in the purchase of paintings,
statuary. iewelry, clothing and an infinite
variety of souvenirs. Upon much of this
duties will be paid at the New York or in
land custom houses, some of it will be SNUG
gled, and a part which would otherwise
require the payment of a tariff levy, will
come in as personal baggage accompanying
the owner and exempt by law.
If we mistake not, there is in the Nc
KINLET tariff act an exemption of $500
worth of personal clothing from the
payment of duty, but q mere decla-
zion by the steamship passenger that the
clothing in his baggage is for his own per-
sonal use is usually sufficient to protect his
trunks from inspection. Now the average
tariff rate on articles of clothing IN the
MCKINLEY act is about 20 per cent, or $500
on every $500 worth. Estimating that 3d.
600 people, mostly adults, go abroad annu-

JUPITER, THE EVENING STAR.

Readers of THE HERALD who, during the
clear nights with which we are so greatly
favored, have lately been attracted by the
big, lustrous star of the evening, will not
be averse to our giving few old facts
about that luminary. The star is Jupiter,
and he is taking the place of Saturn, who
with his rings, will set with the sun next
Sunday, and thereafter be the morning
star. Tonight Jupiter rises with the set
ting sun, will be visible all night, and for
months will be, next to the moon, the most
conspicuous single object in the heavens,
riding the empyreau with pride majestic.
The new moon is but few days old. 1t
will be the harvest moon on the 18th, being
then at its full, q little before the sun
crosses the equator Whilst. therefore, the
celestial bodies are taking their places for
the change from summer to autumn, when
the days and nights are nearly equal in
length all over the globe, except in the
arctic and antartic circles, the sky is a
field of wondrous interest.
Jupiter is l 300 times the size of our puny
planet 1t is 475, 692, 900 miles distant from
the sun, and a railroad train from Jupiter
to that great orb, going ninety miles an
hour, would require more than 5,Si6 years
to get there. Travelling as fast as it does,
it takes nearly twelve years like ours to
make the circuit of the sun.
1t is from facts like these we note the
limitless immensely of the universe, the in
comprehensive mysteries of creation.
Astronomers say that with good tele-
scope 100000 stars may be seen on a
clear, moonless night, and photography is
discovering hundreds of thousands more
but in ali this stellar galaxy, this grand
and magnificent tiara of diadems, there is
none that flashes with more gllttering
beauty athwart the armament than Jupi-

GETTING THERE.

The tendency Of the human family, once
soon as possible. Fast travelling seems to
have no longer any terrors.
Two remarkable events in the way of
rapid transit have occurred recently. A
railroad train in the east for considerable
distance made the astonishing time of
ninety miles an hour. and the mail leaving
Yokohama on the 18th of August, was de-
livered on shipboard in New York on the
I'd of September. A continuous run on a
railroad track Of mile in forty seconds
seems almost like annihilating time, and
making steam the rival of electricity in
speed. We have had fast limited trainn
named "Eli," Cannon Ball." "Flyer,' -
Electric" etc., but the maximum of
speed has rarely been over fifty miles per
hour, though the time required for long
trips is being gradually reduced by short
stoppages, or the leSsening OF the number
of stops.
Ninety miles per hour is at the rate of
1872 feet per second. A half-second of time
appears to be so infinitesimal division

lowering of the racing record by that

SUNDAY AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Macedonian cry has gone up that the
Worlds fair at Chicago must not be opened
but six days in the week. A delegation Of
pious people has visited the Lake city,
headed by Colonel SHEPARD of New York,
Rad laid before the management great
roll of petitions to this end. The leading
members were accorded respectful hear
ing. They announced that the Almighty
would not bless the exposition if people
could see it on Sunday. They declared
good citizens all over the land desired and
demanded that COPS rule should have rec
ognition by this country at Chicago during
the international show, and if this were
not done the Divine hand would smlte the
entire enterprise and wither it and make
it to dry up. The management said they
would see about it.
1t is a matter of considerable doubt
whether majority of the good citizens OF
the United States desire that the doors of
the Columbian exposition should be closed
TO visitors on Sunday. The clergy of Chi
cago, Whatever may be their standing as
representatives of church influence, DO not
object TO the proposition of open doors, and
themselves similarly. To the common
mind there does not seem to be much of the
element of Sabbath-breaking in quietly
walking about among the worlds produc
tions CT intellect, culture and industry or
the earth's products in various chimes. To
common people this is witnessing Gods
works, as exemplified and cultivated by
His human instruments. 1t is, in an en-
nobling sense, resting from the labors
