"Blenheims" and laps"

| The first Duke of Marlborough pre-.
sented some of his Blenheims To tho
Mikado OF Japan OF that period. and
curiously enough. the present duke 1
private secretary, Mr.. Holdsworth. in
formed the writer that he had recently
| seen some of the descendants of these
dogs, which had been brought over
lately from Japan. They were strange
~ altered, for they were dwarfed In
size and far more like the Japanese
spaniel i'm all save color says a writer
in cassells Magazine. Is il possible
that the crossing OF those Blenheims
sent to the Mikado with some Of the
native dogs has produced the Japanese
spaniel so fashionable today? However
dainty little mite, and is the thing"
today. His value increases as his
weight decreases, provided, of course,
that the points which fancy dictates
are correct, and good specimens weigh
ing about two pounds will fetch $50
TO GlV0 "A dog Weighing less than
three pounds is a good one. and OF
this class the Hon. Mrs. McLaren Nor
rison, who Is very fond of her Japs,
mas several lovely specimens. The head
should be broad and well rounded, the
nose as short as possible, eyes large
and liquid, the carriage lively. the tail
carried closely over the back i'm fan
like curl. and the weight as little as
possible. Color and markings form a
great feature I'm the value of Jap.
The coat should be thick, soft as silk.
and long. peariy white, with black
splotches. The ears and cheeks must
be black, the black coming down TO the
base OF the nose and going under the
eyes. The lower part of the cheek and
chin must be white. and blaze Of
white must extend from the back of
the head over the forehead To just
above the base of the nose. In Japan
this blaze is termed the W" and i'm the
center of this w. on the top OF the
head should be black spot OF about
the size of shilling. In Japan these
little atoms are carried i'm their own
ers' sleeves: but whether the sleeves
hav been enlargd to carry the dog. or
the latter dwarfed to fit the sleeve. ira
dition does not say. Lady Probyn has
an almost perfect specimen OF this
dainty dog. and the Countess of War
wick, Lady Algernon Gorden- Lennox,
Lady DE Ramsey and Lady Burton are
also great lovers OF this charming lit

Painted Stockings.

Lieut.. Hourst, of the French army.
has published a lively personal narra-
tive of his recent explorations in West
Africa. With four white companions
he pluckily sailed down the Niger river
in an aluminium sailing boat OF about
seven feet beam, managing TO carry
her and her smaller consorts, manned
by friendly natives. the whole distance
from Timbuctoo, past Say and Bussa,
to the sea, without serious accident or
loss of life. Being a Frenchman, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, the most
amusing parts OF the book are devoted
to descriptions of the Negr.dan ladies,
whom he studied along the river banks.
He was net -eapt4vated by their beauty
Indeed he compares them to Durham
oxen or negresses, who. like English
women, when they are ugly at all. are
really revoltingly ugly"
The corpulent matrons of the Niger
eagerly clad themselves in yards upon
yards of cheap Paris velveteen, but
there were girls of more slender make,
whose sole attempt at dressing was
staining their legs to the knees with
rocou or red dye. (which gives them
the appearance at a distance of wear
nothing but light red stockings" The
gay lieutenant confesses that he was
confused as shy Englishman at the
unusual sight; but one of the red
legged beauties noticing his embarrass-
ment remarked very sensibly, Are we
so badly made that we need hide our
selves? All in good time. When we
are old like our mothers we will wear
clothes" This frank explanation seems.
somewhat unaccountably, to have put
the Wis Dor at his ease.
The men folk, likewise. have their
amusing traits. A declaration OF war
was one day brought TO the l,eutenant's
boat While " was being translated NJ.
Hourst covertly watched the ambassa-
dor. After delivering his message he
had prudently sought refuge behind
piece of rock. but finding that no notice
was taken of him he peeped out, first
with one eye, then with both eyes. and
finally ventured into the open with the
plaintive interrogatory:
Us there any hope Of my getting a
pair of breeches?i

That cold of itself is not cause of
consumption Is illustrated by the fate
of the little Esquimau children. six of
whom Perry brought down from the
Arctic regions and the fourth of whom
has Just died in New York OF that dis
ease. There is said TO be no such thing
known as consumption in the Arctic
regions but the poor little ones i'm our

a year or SO after being brought here.

The Hole in the Wall about which
we are reading these days as the hiding
place of the half dozen outlaws WHO
recently robbed UNION Pacific express
train is not small place by any means
but the way into II is exceedingly mar
row. 1t really comprises about fifty
square miles of territory hedged i'm by
the mountains of Montana bordering on
the Yellowstone Park, but the only
gateway TO the valley lis through a
pass so narrow that it Is said no more
than two men can ride abreast. In this
hole are located a choice population of
outlaws engaged In farming and herd
ing when there is no especial oppor-
tunity for raiding towns or holding up
trains. The State and the railroad peo.
pie have now organized man hunt
OF huge proportions that is designed
not only to capture or kill the half doz-
en- outlaws engaged in the latest rob-
berry. but to clean out the whole popu-
lation I'm the hole as. indeed, the ex-
petition will probably be called upon TO
do since the friends OF the men immed-
lately sought will doubtless stand by
them. We are likely TO hear of livels
times from the Hole in the Wall in the
immediate future.

Of the best PItsidents the country ever
