every summer But the license was re
fused a hotel not being considered per-
manent residence"
Here are the particulars of information
which must be stated in the application
for "a license: A fun description of the
dog, giving for purposes of Identification
It's breed, sex age color, etc; the country
from which IL is proposed to be brought;
the pore a which 1t is proposed 10 be land
cd; The PAGES to which 1t is proposed, aft
er being landed, TO he moved for such de-
tenion and isolation as may be required
by the board, and also the route by
which it is 90 be moved TO such place Of
detention,
Regarding the detention and isolation of
the dog-its quarantining, in other words
the board has power to prescribe this
for a period Of six months, if it deems II
necessary, and at the sole expense of the
dogs owner. Clearly Great Britain is
not anxious for any more canine residents
than she already has Of her own, and her
board Of agriculture is bound to exercise
10 the fun the powers vested i'm it by the
diseases of animals acts of 1894 and 1896
The regular fare from here 70 Europe
for each dog is $l0-the same on all lines,
although at the office of one of the com
panios il was stated that their rate for
very large dogs" was $40. Directly up
ca his arrival on board the dog must be
cOnntEtP 10 the tcnOcf InGrclcS OF the
ships butcher. This official who. Of
course, expects a fee for his attentions
takes entire charge Of the animal keep
ing him well fed and well housed in ken
mel, usually in the after part of the lower
deck. He is not allowed 10 run loose about
the ship nor to he taken into the saloons
or the state room of the owner, but if the
latter is anxious to have his pet with him
on deck for part of the time each day he
is generally permitted 10 do SO. provided he
keeps the dog strictly by his side and pre-
vents him from disturbing other passen-
gers. Occasionally the rules are not rig
idly enforced. On a recent voyage a WO-
man who owned a small TERROR was ex-
ceediugly anxious 10 take him into her
cabin. one Of the ships officers, whom
she applied to in beseeching way for
permission, looked at the dog, which GER
tainy appeared very small and harmless,
and replied in non-committal fashion:
"Well, you must do it when my back Is
turned, If you do IL at ALL" Which. of
course. was promptly and joyfuny ac-
cepted as a full and free liceuse, albeit
the dogs mistress was prudent enough 70
follow the officers suggestion as to the
time and method Of conveying her pet 10
the cabin.
Cats, which are also occas ional Europe
an passengers, travel in the same class as
dogs-that is, at the $40 rate. The fare
for birds seems to vary a good deal With
the different lines. At one Office il was
said that no charge would be made for
carrying a bird, and that the owner might
keep the cage in his room. AT another
there was a regular fare of 81 a cage for
birds, and they had 10 be left Just as the
dogs are with the butcher Al the Office
of SIN another line the agent said that
birds were charged for at certain rate
v hich varied in proportion 10 the size OF
the cage-the number of cubic feet which
u occupied.
