DOG PRACTICES MUSIC.


One OF the largest and certainly
handsomest dogs owned in Portsmouth
is Gar, the magnificent st. Bernard,
who is the property Of g. A. Parmenter,
the welI-known dry goods dealer OF
Exeter and Portsmouth.
Gar is not only handsome, but re-
markably intelligent and, the pride OF
his owner. He is devoted to music, and
one of his accomplishments is singing
Not the 1ong-drawn howl customary to
many CANNES when music is heard,
but regular singing by note. Car re-
spends finely and follows his masters
voice, note by note, through the scale
each note being clear and distinct.
This is but one OF his many tricks,
and II ever dog appeared to think
surely Gar does. He was the only pet
of the home until recently, when wee

to see the two together, the six-Inonths-
