THE FASHIONABLE CANINE.

The Blenheim Spaniel Is an Expensive
Little Midget Beloved by the Fair.
Tho dog considered most desirable as
a pet for a woman is at present the
Blenheim spaniel, a tiny, ten-pound
midget, with long fluffy ears and paws
fringed with white. He is all lemon
and white, and much prettier than the
black and tan varieties of his family.
He is worth all the way from $125 to
$500 to the man who has raised MIN.
The Japanese spaniel was a favorite
this winter, and would be still if he
could be persuaded to live long enough,
but the climate or the food, or some
thing IN this country disagrrees with
him, and his owner seldom has the
pleasure of his society longer than two
or three months. This little foreigner
is smaller, if any thing, than his Eng
lish cousin and is all black and white,
and has a supreme advantage over the
King Charles, the Prince Charles, and
the rest of them in the matter of his
tail, which is beautiful and long, and
curls over his back. "The closer a
japanese spaniel's tail clings to his
back the better his pedigree" said a
dog fancier, stroking one of these pets
approvingly. HE eats only fish and
rice in his own country, and some peo-
pie think that it is because his food
is not prepared to suit him that he
| cannot live here. Be that as it may,
I have known a number of people to
| use the greatest care in looking after
his welfare only to meet with disap-
pointment in the end. Perhaps some
lucky fellow may be able to hit on a
| specific for keeping him alive, after a
| while. and then he will make fortune.
I sold a Blenheim to a woman last
week who would have been glad to
pay higher price for Japanese if
could have guaranteed that he would
stay with her over three MONTHS
