FOREST AND STREAM 



[Dec. 1, 1887. 



MRS. LANGTRY AND HER YORKSHIRE TERRIER. 



FEW there are who know how much the well-known 

 jersey beauty has had to do with the popularity of the 

 Yorkshire terrier. Now, if ever there was a run on York- 

 shire terriers, it was during the time Mrs. Langtry was play 

 ing in the drama called "Enemies." in London. Every lady 

 who thought anything about fashion at all, had a Yorkshire 

 terrier to accompany her, whether walking or driving; m 

 fact, no turnout was considered complete without one of 

 these little fellows en evidence. 



One had not to look far for the reason, and, as has before 

 been said, Mrs. Langtry was responsible for all this stir m 

 the Yorkshire terrier line, and it is to be hoped another such 

 revival will often take place. 



When the Jersey Lily was rehearsing "Enemies" it oc- 

 curred to her that if she had a little terrier on the stage to 

 spring and bark on the approach of the obnoxious one in the 

 piece, it would go dowa well with the audience. So, suiting 

 the action to the thought, she sent for Mr. Charles Kemp, 

 who is well known in the kennel world as the owner of the 

 black poodle, Champion Lyris. To him she confided the 

 idea, and asked if such an animal could be had. The dog 

 was soon found; and then, of course, came the training— to 

 jump and bark only at one person; and as the slightest 

 whimper at the wrong time would be fatal to the carrying 

 out of the piece, the trick had to be taught well and per- 

 fectly. 



At last the dog was taken in hand— or rather in arm— and 

 was taught to bark only when touched by the forefinger 

 under the off shoulder, and everything seemed perfect— In 

 fact, the manner the dog went through its part at the last 

 rehearsals was so remarkable that it was thought it would 

 have no small share in the success of the piece. 



The dog, however, did not follow so quickly as could be 

 wished, for when Mrs. Langtry would suddenly get up from 

 her seat and walk across the stage, the terrier was put down 

 from her lap, and of course was supposed to toddle by the side 

 of its mistress. This the little animal did not take kindly to; 

 so that things should work smoothly, a silken cord was 

 used of the same color as the actress's dress. Therefore, as 

 a matter of fact, the dog was led by this cord that was fast- 

 ened to Mrs. Langtry's wrist, and in this manner every- 

 thing worked admirably. 



As may be imagined the Yorkshire terrier became a great 

 favorite and, as a natural conseqence, was treated with 

 much mistaken kindness. The afternoon before the produc- 

 tion of "Enemies," Mrs. Langtry and the Yorkshire terrier 

 were enemies and no mistake about it. 



The dog had been brought down to the theatre in the 

 morning, and had returned with its fair owner, who was 

 more pleased than ever with it, and the servants, male and 

 female, were ordered to attend to the comforts of the dog. 

 This they did to their heart's content, with the result that 

 the terrier felt everything but well. Mrs. Langtry was 

 beautifully dressed that afternoon, and probably somewhat 

 nervous and even fidgety, and she rang for the dog to be sent 

 up stairs, so that she might amuse herself with him, and 

 thus relieve her thoughts of the coming evening's trial. 



The dog arrived, blown out like a balloon, and as bilious 

 as it was possible for him to be. The mistress caressed her 

 little pet, when, lo! the good things of the larder proved too 

 much for the Yorkshireman , so that he became "as sick as a 

 dog," and thereby spoiled a dress worth eighty guineas. 

 There were ructions in that house, and some people were 

 freightened nearly out of their lives, while Mr. Kemp was 

 wired for to "take the beast away." 



The man of poodles came and assured the fair one that it 

 was not the dog's fault, but the servants', and everything 

 was soon made right so far as the dog was concerned. 



The evening arrived, and the Yorkshire terrier, which was 

 then very much better, accompanied Mrs. Langtry to the 

 theatre, and when it came to the dog's part, the little fellow 

 sprang from his mistress's lap and tore and barked at the 

 intruder, and then trotted off alongside of her. 



As was expected, this took wonderfully with the audience, 

 and the "upset" of the afternoon was soon forgotten, and 

 hundreds of guineas could not then have purchased Mrs. 

 Langtry's Yorkshire terrier. 



Before the week was out every terrier of this breed — or, 

 indeed, anything approaching, or having a probable relative 

 in the Yorkshire terrier family, was snapped up by eager 



Eurchasers. St. Martin's lane, the Seven Dials and Leaden- 

 all Market were inundated with orders, as so many had 

 caught the Yorkshire terrier fever; indeed, even American 

 cousins were paying dealers' expenses to and fro to York- 

 shire to secure them. 



Thus, then, the Yorkshire terrier owes much to Mrs. 

 Langtry, and this is the first time the "home scene" that 

 happened before that lady's appearance in "Enemies" has 

 been let out of the bag. — Stock-Keeper. 



NERO.— As there are degrees of quality in a man, so there 

 are in an animal. There are good, bad and indifferent men, 

 and the same can be said of dogs. One of the noblest dogs 

 we ever met died last night. We owned him five years and 

 we knew him thoroughly. So did the children of the neigh- 

 borhood, who climbed on and tumbled over his massive 

 form. So did the newsboys who found him almost daily at 

 the office, and they rarely passed him without giving him a 

 patting, if not a hugging. The fact that he was a blood- 

 hound and of remarkable size made some people, strangers 

 to his disposition, timid with him. But there was nothing 

 to justify the fear. He was the essence of gentleness, and 

 children, who are the first to know their friends, instinctively 

 recognized this. He never growled at them. He never even 

 frowned upon them, When they became too demonstrative 

 he immediately withdrew from their society. Nero left the 

 office for home last evening in good spirits. After supper 

 and a drink he manifested a desire to go to bed. As he was 

 getting quite blind a light was used to show him the way. 

 This morning at daylight he was found outside his bed, 

 lying on the floor quietly sleeping to all appearance. But 

 he was dead. They say he died of heart disease. But death 

 came to him as we like to have it come to all of gentle nature 

 —without uproar.— Banbury (Conn.) Ncvjs. 



KINO'S PEDIGREE. — Editor Forest and Stream: Your 

 correspondent "Malcolm," having based his assertions re- 

 garding the beagle Kino's breeding on what I had told him 

 some time ago when he was talking of getting a hound from 

 me, has come to me and asked me to give authority for telling 

 him Kino was not imported. I know nothing of Kino's 

 breeding but what Mr. Satterthwaite, his former owner wrote 

 me in a letter some two years since, from which 1 quote- 

 "Dan O'Shea entered Kino as imported last year and I asked 

 him where he was imported from and he told me at the last 

 show in Philadelphia that he was imported from the United 

 States." As I own a pup sired by Kino I personally would 

 be only too glad to have himimported or to know somethinc 

 of his breeding.— Herm. F. Schellhass. 



DOG LOST. -Hoboken, N. J., Nov. 88. — A light built, 

 young Irish setter dog, dark red, with slight scar between

 street. Hoboken, N. J.).

 the Ohio Poultry, Pigeon, Kennel and Pet Stock Association, 

 H. A. Bridge, secretary. The O. P. P. K. P. S. A. has a big

C. J. G., New Jersey.— My pointer. 4 months old, I think, has 

 the mange; his skin swells in small patches and then comes off 

 like dandruff, mostly on the under part of the body, scratches 

 himself a good deal and seems a little dull. Ans. Wash with 

 castile soap and warm water, and after drying, apply the follow- 

 ing:

 Keep the bowels clean by the use of castor oil in teaspoonful

E. B., West Medford, Mass.— My setter has some form of mange 

 which I cannot exactly define. A year ago a red spot came on her 

 foot and the hair came out. I washed with carbolic soap daily, 

 and all went well. Now the samo spot has appeared, and more- 

 over she has reddish patches on the inside of thighs and armpits, 

 and on one armpit a sore. There does not appear to be any itch- 

 ing or pain. I am using carbolic acid and water 1 to 20 parts, and 

 also Fowler's solution of arsenic twice daily in food. She is in 

 good condition and is shot over two or three times a week. Ans. 

 Treatment, is good. Give a compound cathartic pill every other 

 day, and rub in gently after washing the following:

C. T. B., New Bedford, Mass.— Died, Nov. 17, my prize winning 

 Gordon setter bitch Chloe. The disease baffled the most skiUed 

 physicians. Symptoms: Mouth inflamed, bad odor, drooled blood 

 and mucus, could not lap water, could not eat, grew poor, sick 

 three days and died. This is the second case I have had. My im- 

 ported Prince died with the same symptoms, and dogs were look- 

 ing fine and feeling well up to three or four days before they died. 

 I have been breeding Gordons for eighteen years and have never 

 had a case like these. If you can give me any information as to 

 the disease I would be very much obliged. Ans. It was cancrum 

 ovis. See Ashmont on "Diseases of the Dog." 



The Memphis anh Avent Kennet. will offer a number of 

 broken dogs for sale during the Eastern and American trials. 

 Amoi g those offered for sale will be their entire Derby, All- Aged 

 and Champion entries. This kennel will not : send dogs to pur- 

 chasers on approbation, preferring for purchasers (or their depu- 

 tized agents) to see the dogs at work during the trials and pri- 

 vately. This vyill be a raro opportunity to secure some first-class 

 dogs from combined field-trial aud bench-show winning strains,

The New Cube fob Animals— The rapid strides recently made 

 in the more humane, scientific and successful treatment of the 

 diseases of domestic animals, is not only a matter of surprise but 

 is cause for congratulation. Not only are the old, barbarous and 

 inhuman methods largely discarded, but the new ones cure much 

 quicker and more surely. Not only that, but diseases formerly 

 considered incurable are found to yield as snow before the sum- 

 mer sun, to the mild influence of the new system. True, the 

 people learned slowly. The firing, the drenching, the blistering 

 and the bleeding went on in the treatment of animals long after 

 it had disappeared in the treatment of people. But the continued 

 advertising of Dr. Humphreys, and more than all the grand suc- 

 cess of bis Specifics in curing disease of domestic animals, could 

 not be withstood, until now every stockman who is up with the 

 times uses his Veterinary Specifics. They would just as soon go 

 back to the sewing needle in place of the sewing machine, or to 

 the grain cradle in place of the reaper, or the mail coach for the 

 telegraph, as to return to the old mode of firing, drenching and 

 blistering in the place of Humphreys' Veterinary Specifics. His 

 veterinary book of 400 pages is sent free on application to the 

 Humphreys' Med. Co., 109 Fulton street, New York.— Adv.
