Some DOGS OF HIGH DEGREE.

In England and Wales there are 15s
licensed packs of fsxhounds, having
S,2o9 couples. In Scotland there are
nine packs with 500 couples, and in
ireland IL with 365 couples.
MuIhall says that the largest-known
dog was St Bernard called "Plinlirn-
mon,' exhibited at Birmingham in 1881.
The height of this animal was 35 inches,
and his weight 214 pounds.
A trained bloodhound has been known
to follow the track of man on hose
back. and when the rider passed
through bushes the animal jumped up
and snel1ed at the leaves touched by
the feet of the horser1an.
The shepherd" of North Europe has
been known to historians for over 1,O0n
years. and it is believed that the re-
markable deNterity manifested by this
animal in caring for sheep is the heredi
tary result of training.
