For some Inexplicable reason moro ducks

Affairs In the canine kingdom are partlcu-
arly llvelv n Omaha Jmt now , Iho prepara
tions for the coming bench show by the local
fennel club having infused all the lovers of
the dog with un nstonishluc amount of onor-
; y. Almost everybody is talking dog , and
fortunate indeed is the man who owns an
especially line specimen , lot it bo mastiff ,
gicat U.itie , setter , Domtiir , bound , fox tur
ner , hull uog or pug , the oreert or Ulud
makes no difference , ho is an Individual to be
envied.
As expositions tend to Improve mnnklnd.so
s a komipl show calculated to better canine
breeds , alTorJing opportunities tor compari
son and stimulating the dnfiro for the
achievement of excellence. Nor tines this
seem unimnortant when it Is considered that
the caio and culture- dogs usually advance
m direct ratio with the civlluitiou of the
pcoplo among wttom they arc domesticated.
Although a uog will iiover again be wor
shiped us n king , as was once the case in
Btliiopia , the animal has oarnccd permanent
mil perpetual recognition us the Inend and
servant of man bovond all others ot the
beasts that perish. Derived from the sums
original stock ns the wolf , there were wild
does before ever there were tame ones. In
India they are still lound undomesticated ,
thoueh sometimes used to carry torches or
to lecd pet alliuutors and tigers. Australia
is ovcrrtMivilh \ wild dogs resembling
hungry wolves , which are supposed to bo the
piogeny of petslelt upon tbo island conti
nent bj curly ships. It has bean observed
that thov seldom bark ; m fact , the dog in a
state of untuto rarely rlocs bark In Lower
Guinea can I no packs , organized for hunting
on tholrown account , do not hcsitato to at
tack the elephant , usually with success.
Just as the hoiso never amounts to an > thing ,
physically or otherwise , save \\hen bred and
cared for bv man , so the dog only devnlops
lib ocauty and admiraolo traits under human
protection. 1'iiinurily the sagacious dogs
appear to have haa their origin in southern
KuiOL > ettic lighting dog in Asia and the swift
running Uogs among the Celticnations. .
Among ull the dogs in the world the St.
Uernurd stands easily llrst tnvorito , combin
ing , as it does , beauty with intelllsouco nnd
aimaollity ot character. Concerning its
origin there is much dispute. According to
the tradition of the fathers of the grout Saint
Bernard their race descends from the cross
ing ol a mastiff of the Pyrenees with a
Dunlin species of bulldog- . The descendants
of this crossing have inherited from the
dou of Denmark its extraordinary si/.o and
bodily snenglh , und from the mastiff
faithfulness , sagacity and a flno bcuso of
smell.
Next to the St. Bernard , of which very
many line specimens are to bo found in
Omaha , the English mastiff is the most
popular dog , if the en.rlcs ut shows may bo
considered a criterion. The breed Is un
doubtedly vury ancient , prob.illy native to
Hiitain , "nnd very lutely derived trom thu
siuni ) ancestral sourto as that of the bulldog.
The latter animal bus much gained in general
appreciation within lecontycai0 ana greater
attention is boin ? paid to it than over oofnro.
Popular prejudice ascribes to the bulldog
small intelligence mm a ferocious disposi
tion , but tbu does the boast grout , injustice.
By nature it Is most amiable , and in point
of sagacity it exhibits gioat possibilities of
development , now that It bus been ndoptod
as u gentleman's dor , initoad of bolus rele
gated exclusively , us was formerly the case ,
to Bill Hvkes and his Kind , Too much Is not
to bo expected of a creature that is Imbltually
trained to brutality under iho lush of a
rufllun of the slums.
Lou , ; before lhq St. Bernard was much
known about the Newfoundland dog was the
popular fuvoilto , and to this day it holds an
important placa In public o-tcain. Its won-
dotful swimming powers nnd life-saving in-
stlnct h.ivo caused it to Ua seriously sug
