THE GREAT DANE.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BIG
DOG WHICH is BECOMING THE
FAD AMONG FANCIERS.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BIG
DOG WHICH IS BECOMING THE
FAD AMONG FANCIERS.
The great Dane dog is growing in
favor. Several are owned in Whining
ton, and they attract much more atten-
tion than any other breed of dogs seen
on the streets. A writer treats OF the
characteristics of the dog in the follow
ing language:
"The great Dane, the exhibition dog
of to-day, and growing every day in
favor as a beautiful and biddable dog,
is the modern representative of the
boarhound. On the continent, where
its Danish origin is repudiated it is
called the German niastiff, and under
this head all its varieties are classed at
shows; while in this country we call it
the great Dane, and catalogue under
that name all the varieties of German
mastiff, so that, taking the one with the
other, the dog comes by its rights.
1T is a beautiful creature, this great
Dane, and gives the impression at once
of both power and activity, and its tenn
.per-look at its small keen eyes-is ex-
actly what one might expect from dog
of war and of the chase, veneered with
the elegance of civilization, for it is
eouable and (de haut en- bas) good
tempered, but woe to the object that ir-
ritates il. The conciliatOry stranger
who goes to pat one as if it were a lap
dog finds a great blunt nozzle thrust
fOrcibly and roughly into his hand, or
perhaps into his ribs, as who should
say: All right, old fellow, I'm not go
ing to hurt you; you needn't pat me ano
call me a good dog. He never awaits
your permission to make your acquaint-
ance, but introduces himself without
formality if he wishes to know you,
Going through a narrow passage a
great Dane will take up more than half
the room. He does not drop behind
like the elegant-mannered st. Bernard,
with a polite man before dog sort of
air, but hustles you robustly for equal
space Not that he is a dangerous dog.
He is simply a bOarhound, creature
of immense strength and infinite cour-
age, and courteous only out Of conde-
scension."

the new st. Matthew'S Church for Col

with the ceremonies under such condi-
tions, as it would prove that the people
present were not 'dry-day" Christians
He hoped that the beginning of the
building OF the church on All Saints
