Dogs and Pictures. 
It is not so long ago that a man carrying a 
painting of a dog had it practically destroyed 
by a passing dog flying at it, and tearing it in 
a most determined manner. One of my own 
dogs (says a writer in the Scotsman) became 
quite pugnacious when seeing the picture of a 
chow-chow, but when the picture was hung on 
the dining-room wall, the dog paid no more 
attention to it. A friend of mine has only to 
take a picture of two fox terrier heads from 
his study wall and bring it on a level with his 
terrier to set that animal’s scruff standing erect, 
and to cause him to tingle in every nerve. 
These three authentic cases of dogs recogniz¬ 
ing their kind on canvas have all taken place 
when the pictures were on their own level, but 
that this qualification is not always necessary 
the following incident will show. A fox terrier 
in my own neighborhood is made a great pet 
of by his master and mistress, and while they 
were seated at dinner one evening, and the dog 
sleeping on the hearthrug, it suddenly got up 
on its legs and began to whine piteously. It 
stared ahead as if mesmerized, and quietening 
words had no effect. Following the dog’s gaze, 
the lady and gentleman were astonished to see 
that it was the full-length portrait of the farmer 
hanging on the wall that was causing the ani¬ 
mal its uneasiness. The dog went up to where 
the picture hung,’as if it would fain bring it 
down and solve the mystery, and it took a lot 
of comforting by its mistress before the animal 
was quieted, and realized that its owner was 
beside it and not on the wall. 
Odd Mixup at Dog Show. 
Boston, Mass., April 5.—A peculiar situation 
developed to-day at the Eastern Dog Show, 
which led to the officials announcing a change 
in the award of one of the most coveted tro¬ 
phies, the $100 silver cup for the best bird dog, 
pointers and setters, under conditions that the 
dog must have been shot over two seasons in 
the United States or Canada, must have at least 
twenty-two birds to its credit, and that an at¬ 
tested certificate to hat effect must be filed. 
All sections of New England were repre¬ 
sented bj'' the eight dogs which competed for 
this trophy, and the judges gave the prize to 
Dr. James E. Hair, an amateur of Bridgeport, 
Conn., for the fine performance of his English 
setter, Albert’s Pride. Then Benjamin Lewis, 
a professional, rushed into the ring and said 
that the English setter. Gleams Count White- 
stone, which is owned by Joseph Lemon, of 
Canada, was eligible and that the entry, duly at¬ 
tested, was in the office. It had been over¬ 
looked, but was found and so there seemed noth¬ 
ing to do but judge over again. 
Dr. Hair had left the building, and so his dog 
was not brought out and the Canadian dog was 
declared the winner. This morning it was dis¬ 
covered that, while the required certificate was 
made out properly, and bore two signatures, 
the paper was not properly attested, and so the 
prize was reawarded to Dr. Hair. 
Much interest was shown in to-night’s judg¬ 
ing for the best dog in the show prize, and 
some forty competitors were in the ring for 
this event, which was awarded to Champion 
Sabine Rarebit, a smooth-coated fox terrier, 
three years old, owned by the Sabine Kennels of 
Orange, Texas. The dog was exhibited by 
George H. Thomas, of Hamilton, Mass., where 
he has been since he was seven months old.— 
New York Sun. 
A New Style in Breeds. 
It looks as though the hall mark of King 
George was going to put on a new breed, there¬ 
by setting a new style in dogs in England. Six 
Tibetan mastiffs have just arrived at Zoological 
Gardens, London, from King George’s Indian 
collection. 
In appearance the newcomers are something 
like what one would expect the progeny of a 
mastiff and collie cross to be. They are sturdy 
animals, with black and tan coats, and they 
carry their tails, which are very bushy, well 
over the back. Their heads are broad and of 
the mastiff build, with pendant ears, hanging 
lips and eyes that are wolflike. In their native 
country they are trained to give notice of all 
strangers and to guard the sheep from wolves. 
Evidently the lot that has arrived in London 
are not to be trusted, for they are penned be¬ 
hind iron bars, and they do not regard friendly 
overtures from visitors with favor. The head 
of the family, which includes sire, dam and four 
puppies, appears to be the worst of the lot in 
this respect, and even regards his keeper as an 
enemy, except at meal times, when he evinces so 
much interest in his food that he forgets all 
about the grudges he imagines he owes the at¬ 
tendant. 
Dog Races in Alaska. 
The big sporting event of Alaska is the dog 
team race held each year. The course is from 
Nome to Candle and return, distance 412 miles, 
and the standard purse $5,000. The record for 
the course is 74 hours 14 minutes and 14 sec¬ 
onds. Last year’s race was won by A. A. 
(Scotty) Allan in 81 hours 40 minutes. There 
are four teams taking part this year. A team 
owned by Mrs. C. E. Darling, Berkley, Cal., 
driven by Allen; Fox Ramsey’s team, driven by 
Chas. Johnson; John Johnson’s team, driven by 
Alex Holmsen, and A. G. Oliver’s team, driven 
by Blatchford. In the first 85 miles Scotty 
Allan drove his team to a new record of nine 
hours for the distance. 
Allan won the sweepstakes, finishing at i :32 
A. _M., Monday last, his time for the 472 miles 
being 87 hours 32 minutes, being 5 hours 52 
minutes more than his time last year. Holmsen 
was second, one hour behind Allan, and Fox 
Ramsey’s team, driven by Chas. Johnson, came 
in third, a half hour after Holmsen. 
Dog Dyspepsia. 
So many readers of this department have writ¬ 
ten, f'What ails my dog?” when the trouble is 
simply indigestion, that it is worth while giving 
an effective and immediate remedy for the 
trouble. The symptoms are so pronounced that 
any amateur can readily diagnose the case. An 
irregular action of bowls, liver or kidney, star¬ 
ing coat, depraved appetite, foul breath and 
“please-let-me-alone” attitude may be taken as 
pretty positive evidence of indigestion. 
Pepsin I drachm. 
Powdered animal charcoal 2 drachms. 
Bicarbonate of soda 3 drachms. 
Powder and mix thoroughly and separate into 
twelve doses. Old dogs, those with bad teeth 
and pets fed table scraps and sweets generally 
need a dyspepsia treatment now and then, and 
the above dose won’t hurt even a toy pom., even 
if you diagnose the case incorrectly—which you 
cannot well do.
