.FOREST AND STREAM, 



The Edina Kennel. — Mr. Sherwood writes us that his 

 or. and white gyp Sue, (1st at St. Louis) out of Murcelliot's 

 Pet, and Morford's Don; also the black and white gyp Pol- 

 ly, out of the Rink gyp and Colburn's Dash, both, on the 

 5th inst., visited the St. Louis Kennel Club's Rock. On 

 the 11th inst. they sent to Mr. Arnold Burges's Rob Roy 

 their lemon gyps Faun, and black gyp Nellie. Their point- 

 er gyp Fan has visited Old Phil, and Jule and Sancho 



have also mated recently. 



«*«^. 



The Forest City Kennel.— Plunket was visited in his 



new quarters at Cleveland on the 18th inst by Mr. H. K, 



Wicks's liver and white gyp Dolly, from Youngstown, 



Ohio. Rapp was visited on the 12th by J. H. "Williams's 



black and tan gyp Fan, from East Rockport, Ohio. The 



dogs are attracting a great deal of attention, and will do 



much to bring up the Ohio stock. 



-»«»■ ■ 



Beagles. — Mr. Geo. Pounall, of Christiana, Lancaster 

 county, Pennsylvania, writes us that he has a good strain 

 of beagles from which he has been breeding for the past, 

 ten years. His advertisement of puppies for sale will be 

 found in another column. We should like to have a pho- 

 tograph and dimensions of Mr. Pounall's dogs, as pure 



beagles are very rare.

The Destroyers. — We have received a letter from Mr. 



C. H. Cone which our space prevents our printing, in which 



he desires to bear testimony to the efficacy of Steadman's 



Flea Powder, sold by Holbertou & Beerner, in ridding his 



dogs and kennels of fleas.

A correspondent writes: — 



Present indications are that the next Chicago Bench 

 Show will prove a success and the entries much larger than 

 any previous year. Letters have been received from the 

 owners of dogs in various sections of the Union promising 

 to be on hand with their favorites. 



[We were informed at Baltimore that the Chioago Bench 



Show had been abandoned.— Ed.]

A Good Retriever. — The .Newark Advertiser tells the 

 following story, which shows how carefully a well-trained 

 dog will retrieve birds. While not wishing to detract 

 from the merits of the fine pointer in question, we believe 

 that there are hundreds of dogs who would convey live 

 birds in their mouths in an equally delicate manner:— 



"Dr. Hunt, of Livingston, has an English pointer dog, 

 which is the admiration of the neighborhood and the ter- 

 ror of tramps. Madam has canary birds. Yesterday 

 morning one of them escaped, and the usual stern chase 

 succeeded. The bird made a long detour, closely followed 

 to her occasional resting places, until nearly an hour had 

 been wasted, while the pursuers had grown six in number 

 — we might say seven, for old Dash had been 'at heel,' and 

 was interested in the result. Suddenly the bird flushed, 

 sailed swiftly across the street, with Dash hard after her. 

 The bird was flying low, all the pursueis trying to call off 

 Dash, but he kept on, made a sudden leap in the air, 

 caught the bird in his mouth, as an lrvington boy would 

 a ball on the fly, and dropped to 'charge.' Of course the 

 bird was eaten up and swallowed? Of course not. Mr. 

 C. W. Harrison ran up, and there was the bird tendeily 

 imprisoned within the capacious jaws of Dash, and the 

 old fellow promptly surrendered 'Dicky' to Mr. Harrison's 

 hands, with hardly more than a ruffled feather. The affair 

 was wonderful in two things — the accuracy of the catch, 

 and the gentle shelter Dash gave the little fugitive in the 

 only spare room he had — his capacious mouth. Where is 

 the border line between reason and instinct?

Fashion in Dogs. — Parisian journalists have time and 

 energy to bestow some share of attention on the census of 

 dogs. The returns afford a ready means of arriving at the 

 relative favor in which, as compared with last year's, the 

 several breeds are held. The Paris Journal very discon- 

 tentedly remarks the diminution of patronage accorded to 

 that ancient favorite, the Italian greyhound. INot long ago 

 the ladies of good family were almost exclusively devoted 

 to this particular race. 



But all human fashions, even though patronized by 

 aristocratic ladies with sesquipedalian names, are liable to 

 rapid subversion. Moreover, there were grave charges to be 

 alleged against the elegant levretis. An extreme stupidity, 

 combined with a not {infrequent disposition to snap, etc. 

 So the greyhounds have almost been discarded and replaced 

 \>y the comparatively vulgar-looking terriers and haramese. 

 And in this connection we would mention Sport — the prop- 

 erty of H. H. Hart, Esq., a promising young lawyer of this 

 city — a most, beautiful specimen of the diminutive maitese, 

 silken white in coat, with intelligent black eyes which 

 glare like stars from beneath his floating cloud- like coat of 

 silken floss, with ears of lemon, pendant at the head side, 



yet beautifully pricked as the little fellow performs his 

 many tricks. In a utilitarian sense his reputation is that 

 of an acute-eared, prompt-voiced, resolute watch dog, with 

 a soul above bribery.

WITH A CASE. 



ten drops of laudanum and half a grain of sugar of lead 

 every three hours with an apparent abatement ot the disease. 

 At this juncture of the case he vomited another worm 

 five inches long. I then gave him one grain of santonine 

 and two grains of sugar of milk, morning and evening, until 

 he had taken three powders, and followed in three hours 

 with a desert spoonful! of castor oil. In about four hours 

 he passed a hard foecal mass about an inch long as large as 

 the end of my thumb, and attached to the extremiiy of 

 this was a bundle of lumbrici which when being uncoiled 

 • and counted amounted to fifteen, varying from three to 

 five inches in length; and duiing the evening of the same 

 day he passed six more. He had two or three small oper- 

 ations after this, and the action of the bowels became quie', 

 but his strength and vitality were greatly reduced. 1 now 

 put my patient on milk punch pretty stiff with whisky 

 and smail doses of quinina, but he continued to sink and 

 died in thirty-six hours after he discharged the worms and 

 ten days after he was taken sick. I should add that during 

 all the time of his sickness he was carefully blanketed and 

 kept in a warm room. 



"Autopsy six hours after death: The lungs contained a 

 little mucous, but there was not present any indications of 

 previous inflammation. The stomach contained undigested 

 milk punch. The mucous coat was healthy and thrown 

 into folds. The intestines throughout their entire extent, 

 were empty and contracted, and singularly free from mu- 

 cous and foecal matter. Not a trace of a worm could be 

 found. The bladder was empty and contracted. 



"Remarks. Worms are capable of producing symptoms 

 of almost all the diseases to which the human family is 

 heir, hence the great uncertainty of worm symptoms. 

 Indeed, the existence of worms cannot be definitely de- 

 termined until they are expelled. This great variety of 

 symptoms has given rise to a corresponding discrepancy in 

 the action of remedies administered for worms. I ap- 

 prehend that the same will hold good in the lower order of 

 animals. In the case above reported there were good reasons 

 to believe that the pup had inflammation of the lungs; then 

 irritation of the upper bowels; then dysentery; the first 

 tangible proof of the existence of worms was when be 

 threw them up. I relied then for their expulsion on cal- 

 omel, turpentine and oil, which were regarded as authodox 

 remedies when I was in the practice. They failed. If 

 the santonine had been administered then, with as good 

 results as followed its use later, I believe I would nave 

 saved my patient. 



"Santonine is the active crystalized principle of the unex- 

 panded flowers of Artemisia cina. It is in the form of 

 white flattened crystals, soluble in water and tasteless. 

 The dose is from one-half to two grains, and may be found 

 in all well assorted apothecaries. It may be administered 

 morning and evening until tin ee or four doses are taken, 

 to be followed by a dose of oil. The dose will depend 

 upon the age of the dog. If the first course is not success- 

 ful it should be repeated in two or three days. This agent 

 has taken foremost rank as an althenmentic when any 

 class of worms are suspected, and is in daily use among 

 physicians. I trust that if any one has occasion to use the 

 remedy they will have better success so far as the patient 

 is concerned, and will report the result in the Forest akd 

 Stream. H. G. Carey, M. D.

Dogs in Smoking Cars. — A Binghamton correspondent 

 writes as follows: "I have read with considerable interest 

 the different articles in your paper regarding railroad fare 

 on dogs. It seems to me that every sportsman would 

 greatly prefer to have his dog in the car with him, and as 

 most of us ride in the smoking cars while going on a shoot- 

 ing trip, why not have the dog as well as the gun in the 

 same car? No reasonable objection could be urged against 

 it on the part of the railroad authorities, as the dogs would 

 be muck more quiet and quite as cleanly as the majority of 

 smoking car passengers. This would relieve every one but 

 the owner of all care and responsibility of the dog, and I 

 think the owner would be only too glad to assume it all.

SANTONINE FOR WORMS. 



A correspondent sends us the following case, which will 

 be of great interest to our readers. If our correspondent 

 will pardon us we would suggest that the dog died from 

 too much medicine, and are inclined to think that unless 

 congestion of the lungs was the predisposing cause, which 

 might have been the case, that thirty grains of aieca nut 

 and half an ounce of castor oil would have effected a cure, 

 certainly as far as the worms were concerned. Will not 

 some other correspondent give us his views? 



"Dandy, a pure black and tan Gordon setter pup ten weeks 

 old, was taken sick on December 24th with what appeared 

 to be inflamation of the lungs. The symptoms were rapid 

 pulse, hurried breathing and frequent hacking cough. I 

 gave him one drop of tincture of the root of aconite every 

 three hours until all the above symptoms disappeared, 

 which was at the end of twenty-four hours. At that time 

 a profuse diarrhoea set in, the operations being large, of a 

 dark color and accompanied with a great deal of flatulence. 

 This condition continuing, on the second day I prescribed 

 calomel one-fourth of a grain, sugar ©f lead one-half of a 

 grain, and sulphate of morphine one-sixteenth of a 

 grain. These powders w T ere repeated every three hours. 

 In about thirty six hours the amount and frequency of 

 the discbarges had decreased. At this time his strength 

 was greatly reduced and he refused food. I gave him 

 regularly four times a day either milk or beef essence 

 with a spoon in moderate quantities. On the fouith 

 day, after taking his milk, he vomited, throwing up with 

 the milk four lumbriee or round worms. I gave him a 

 grain of calomel, and in three hours ten drops of spirits 

 of turpentine and a desert spoonfull of castor oil. The 

 operation of the oil was scanty arid accompanied with the 

 discharge of one worm. His bowels became quiet, and I 

 addressed myself to sustaining the strength of my patient. 

 In twenty-four hours more dytentery set in, characterized 

 by frequent small discharges accompanied with great pain 

 and tenesmus or straining. For these symptoms I prescribed 



fachting mid Ranting.

Boathouse Destroyed - The boathouse of the Dartmouth 

 College Navy, at Hanover, JST. H., was destroyed by a 

 heavy gale on the night of the 20th, together with its con- 

 tained boats, shells and sculls. The loss is estimated from 

 $2,000 to $3,000.

TRIMMING. 



THERE are men — generally rather young — who, having 

 made a voyage across the Atlantic, feel themselves 

 qualified to express quite learned opinions upon pomts, in 

 the discussion of which a certain amount of knowledge of 

 seamanship is necessary. Such men, in their occasional 

 surreptitious confidential chats with "the man at the 

 wheel," have become quite familiar with the terms "lee" 

 and weather "helm," and the fact that "she carries" it 

 because of defective trim also becomes patent. To be 

 sure, in after days, when speaking of such matters, there 

 is a possibility of some confusion; "she" (the vessel) "car- 

 ries" one or the other because she is "down by the head" 

 or "stern" is certain, but which effect is produced by 

 which cause, may, as Lotta says, be a little mixed in his 

 mind. 



The above is personal, and will be resented by one of 

 your readers, with whom I a short time since had a bit of 

 a talk about yachting and boat sailing. He owns a yacht, 

 not a very large one, and he thinks that he sails it— the old 

 shellback, who is nominally a sort of mate, I think very 

 likely has a different opinion. My friend is a clever fellow 

 —plenty of money; has run over Europe for three or four 

 years; talks well, I suppose, on horse, dog and gun subjects, 

 and when he speaks of a fine looking horse "steepling up 

 tip-top" finds me in such a deplorable state of ignorance 

 as to his meaning that he has gradually got to think that I 

 don't know much of anything. But the other day we got 

 to talking of fishing, and I had him, at least I thought so, 

 until when I began to tell him of a method of sailing a 

 boat, and without steering gear of any description, work- 

 ing her to windward, or in any other desired direction, he 

 said it "couldn't be done," and when I began to explain 

 fai? it could he took issue on the very first principle in-
