that they breed wolves quite rs fast

JUDGING DOGS.
The Rulen by Whicl, the Different
polntn Arc Valued.

The Rulen by Which the Different
Points Arc Valued.
The average man is greatly puzzled
to find one dog awarded first prize
and another, which to him appears to
be quite ga fine q specimen, awarded
no prize at all. A man who knows the
relative values of the different points
in all breeds Of dogs is veritable
walking encyclopedia.
Generally speaking, the best dog is
one which comes nearest the STANDARD
Of requirements for Its own particular
breed, about 25 per cent of the points
proportions, IN equal number for legs
and feet, n similar number for body
and color and the rest for symmetry.
In the Dalmatian, for instance. thirty
points are given for color and mark
ings, while head, eyes and enrs have
only fifteen; the bulldog. Oh the other
hand, has forty-flve for head and cars,
while cont and color amount to but five
points; the collie has twenty-five for
coat, color being immaterinl, aud twen-
ty.five for head and ears.
The st. Bernard has forty for head
and ears and five each for coat and
color. The Pomeranian has but dfteen
for head and ears, forty-fiye polIts 60
ing for coat, color and tail. with fifteen
for appearance. Itmay be get down as
governing in all breeds Of dogs that
whatever is the typical feature Of that
breed is the feature upon which stress
is laid in the allotment Of points.

Ing young actor was very anxious to
obtain Oxenfords valuable opinion on
his work, and the tender hearted old
gentleman literally left his bed and
came down to the theater on n bitter
cold night to do a good action to n
clever youngster In the middle OF one
OF the actors finest scenes on came the
cough from the Oxenford box. 1t con-
tinued so long that 1t unnerved the
actor, and hc came to dead stop. To
the surprise of everybody he advanced
to the front and said. Ladies' and gen.

the old gentleman with the Irritating
cough retires temporarily from the
theater I really cannot 60 on. I forget
everything. 1t is painful so to address
you. but am powerless In the matter
and place myself In your hands,"
The disturbance at once ceased, and
the boz was empty. When the cur
