lic, when I la-can, that, if 1 lost my tem- 

 iv one trick, thai particular one was to 

 mt COr myself. The system which must

 posite to the human, not "whoever does 

 but "■whoever does right must bore- 



dog during hid lessons, and, especially, 



rdlv over s

rewards, and not c..u, ml away from when" raited. A cuffupou 

 tho head, ae I havu wen given'. quite drives all ideas out of it. and 

 • ■« :.. i for tl?e real of the lesson. The dog should be 

 taken into a, room with no other ocenpaut but his mi 

 presence oianj one else always distracts the animal's attention; and 



■Mise then he knows, when you begin, that ho 



is intended to learn. There mii-i be a supply of dry biscuits, or 



what yen wish. ll'is important that the word bv which the dog is 

 to distinguish the particular trick which he in meant to do should 

 bo well impressed upon his mind by frequent repetitions during 

 the lesson. 



I will now point otit some of the. easiest and vet most amusing 

 tricks which may be taught, and a fuw hints on tho method of do- 

 no, and commence with tho easiest tricks of all, which may be of 

 use to Bomo, though many people got as far a? the first two or 

 three.

 Wbon he has'learned to balance himself in tho 



corner, he must be advanced to a plain wall, and then in tho open 



room.

 Walking on tho hind legs may next be taught by walking him 

 round the room with bin fore-paws resting upon vour hand, a 

 piece ol biscuit being held above him with the other Ik'.-d. Buying, 

 at the same time, "Walk, walk." Tho support of tbo hand must 

 bo gradually decreased until ho walks alone. 



Mil TTINll THE DOOR. 



Shutting the door is taught by placing the fore-paws of the 

 dog, who must bo standing on his hind legs, against it. Then, 

 by pushing him forward, caiiRe him to shut the door, 6aviug, 

 " Shut it!" and give liiiu biscuit after each time it is shut. After 

 some time, with encouragement from hnud and voice, be will 

 jump against tho door nod close it himself. This trick raav be 

 shown off with effect by entering a room, followed by your dog, 

 and leaving the door open after you. Then turn round snd sav, 

 " liude dog ! where aro your manners V Shut it '."

the monarch dog. Many of these commence to specula 

 best mode of rescue. The first plan proposed was that 

 attributed to Mr. Clifford Kalblleiech, the ticket ag 

 place, but which we understand was reallv the iuveut 

 C. E. Lewis, of the customs force. It was' simply this; 



"After the animal has been left without food for two or three 

 days, and is famished, a bag with a spring attached to it, and con- 

 taining a piece of moat, will be let down. It is expected that when 

 Hie dog seises the meal, the trap will spring upon him, and ho will 

 bo drawn up in the bag to the bank above." 



Some person at Raleigh, South Carolina, wants the following 

 scheme: 



" Take a small line, make a slip loop on it, cast it so as to lay the 

 loop fiat on the rock, watch closely the movements, when tho dog 

 puts n foot in the loop, draw quickly so as to fasten the foot or leg 

 in the loop. 1 ' 



"A friend of the dog" writes from the Shaker Settlement, N. 

 Y., the following : 



"Take a large, deep basket, in the bottom of which put a piece 

 of meat, lower tho basket by four ropes fastened to the four cor- 

 ners of the basket. The dog will naturally got in the basket for 

 the meat. Then commence hoisting tho basket, and in all proba- 

 bility the dog will then remain quiet and uot attempt to jump out, 

 and thus be rescuod." 



" A disciple of Walton," who is believed to bo fisherman Wal- 

 dron, suggests the following novel scheme ; 



■ li: i-i ;i uiisri'-L' re suppose t.bat fi^h only can bn caught with a 

 hook. Take a largo bass hoot, bait it with fresh beet, let it down 

 with a strong line, and when the dog grabs the beef let tl\ o men 

 with the shore end run for tho railroad track, and they will land 

 tho dog on the bank." 



A humane berson suggests the following : 



" Take a five pound can ol" dynamite, insert an electrical wire, 

 put over the can a tube just large enough for the dog to crawl in- 

 to; in bottom of tube place meat; when the dog crawls into the 

 tube, pull the wire; the dog will bo blown on the bank." 



A sporting man is tho author of the following : 



" The dog, I understand, is a bull dog which is always a fighting 

 dog, and his late solitary life has undoubtedly increased his nerve. 

 Attach a rope to the tail" of another fighting dog and let hun down

TOE last variety of the Springer fannlv which we shall treat of 

 is the Norfolk spaniel, which is a breed highly prized if met

though then- appe 



Yonatt in his work gi*es bin opinion regarding the origin of the 

 Norfolk spauiel, which may le taken for what it is worth by 

 admirers of tho breed, aa ho appears to have devoted lout a verv 

 small portion of his time to the consideration of the spaniel 

 family. In spcakine of the Springer, in 1845, he, wrote : 



" From a cross with the terrier a black and tan variety was pro- 

 cured, which was cultivate'! bv the late Dnkc of Norfolk, and 

 thence called I he Norfolk spaniel. 11 is larger thau tho common 

 springer, and stauncher and stouter. It often forms a strong in- 

 dividual attachment, and is unhappy and pines away when 

 separated from ils master. It is more lil-ii-iupi-icd than tiie eoni- 

 coni springer, and if not well broken in is often exceedingly 

 obstinate." 



The abovo is the only theory which we can discover of the origin 

 of tho Norfolk spaniel, who unfortunately appears to have fallen 

 into disrepute since the blacks began to appear in numbers. How- 

 over, in the present day black and tan is bv no means recognized 

 aa tho correct color for a Norfolk spaniel. On the contrary, this 

 dog is, when found pure, most usually a liver and while. the"whitc 

 spots being heavily lleckcd with liver, which gives him a very 

 handsome and show v appearance. A blaze of while up I he fore- 

 head addB a great deal to his beautv, and a white, tip to his tail, 

 which, as in other breeds, should be docked short, is an additional 

 attraction, though, of course, theso may only he taken aa fancy 

 markings, and would merely count as such in competition. 



The Norfolk spaniel will be no mean assistance to tho sportsman 

 in pursuit of water-fowl, for he will take water readily, and re- 

 trieves well- -though hard in mouth. On land he is also a very 

 handy dog, and will face tho thickest coverts pluckily, and may 

 therefore be taken as a valuable dog, whose breeding should bo 

 encouraged by nportsmon of all denominations. He is not mute. 



In appearance the Norfolk spaniel is inclined to be higher on tho 

 leg than either the Sussex or thu Clumber ; his head is lighter thau 

 tho latter's. and ho is, in short, finer all over. Althtugh longer in 

 bis leg than those broods he is much lighter in bone, and has been 

 rather aptly described us a thick-made English setter. Tho height 

 of a Norfolk spaniel is about nineteen inches, but owing to tho 

 frequent' crosses which have been made between this breed and 

 the Clumber and the Sussex, a groat difference of height is per- 

 ceptible in so-called perfectly pure-bred NorfolkB. In the face of 

 so many oross-brcd spaniels, which arc spread about tho country 

 and styied Norfolks by their owners, there is a considerable diffi- 

 culty in giving a description of what a Norfolk spauiel Bhould be, 

 but the. chief difference between a dog of this description and the 

 Clumbor has been given above. As regards a scale of points for 

 judging tho bleed, the standard which is given Tor tho black 

 spaniel will apply almost as well lo the Norfolk, iib will be Been

PHILADELPHIA BENCH SHOW. -Mr. O. W. Smith. Secretary 

 of the Mouut Airy Kennel Club and Game Protective Association 

 of Philadelphia, informs us that at a meeting of the organization, 

 h6ld at their club-room on June 6/ a committee was appointed for 

 the purpose of arranging for a bench show in tho city Of Brotherly 

 Love during October next. While, of course, a show at any time 

 is better than no show at all, yet the month of October is 'one in 

 which many dogs aro in the Jfield, and therefore we should think 

 September a more convenient season in many respects. 



THE NEW YORK CITY HOG ORDINANCE.— The city ordi- 

 nance regulating tho wavs and wAnderings of the canine family of 

 this metropolis was introduced by Alderman Morris, aud adopted 

 by the Common Council, in the latter part of the spring of 1877, 

 and went into force in the summer following. Since that period 

 the enormous number of 33,864 dogs have perished by aspyyxia- 

 tion under the law prescribing their doom, and the city has'real- 

 ized from tho granting of licenses the sum of $42, IB I. 



The subjoined table shows the number of dog licenses issued, 

 the amount paid to the city and tho number of doga drowned 

 from 1877 to 1880:

From May 1 of this, year to June 11, 3,175 permits for keeping

 the dogcatcher gots thirty cents from the city. The number of 



dogs received at tho pound last year was 8,862, and the number
