THE BLOODHOUND. Interesting Facts About One of the Most Interesting of Dogs. For stateliness of appearance no breed of dog is comparable to the bloodhound, while the stories attending its unerring pursuit of its quarry have furnished the novelist with material of the most exciting character. But it is a fiction to associate the bloodhound with ferocity. He never worries or mangles what he tracks down. His vocation is to find, and to find only, whether engaged in pursuit of man or of wounded deer. The bloodhound has figured in history from time Immemorial, and no breed of dogs has preserved its characteristic points so persistently. The high, pointed cranium, the long, pendulous ears, the ample dewlap, the wrinkled forehead, the overhanging flews, and even the red haw, or third eyelid—commonly called the sealingwax—may be traced more or less in the Talbot hound, in the modern foxhound, the otter-hound, the basset, the French dachshund, and In the Swedish beagle, which last is a miniature bloodhound, though of lighter build. The Count le Conteulx de Cantelen, in his work “Les Races des Chiens Courans Francais,” barks back to the famous St Hubert hounds, black and white, as the recognized progenitors of the breed. The present writer was particularly Impressed by the strong bloodhound type which characterized the packs of French hounds from various provinces exhibited nt the international show in I’arls In the year 1878. However, It will be more Interesting to leave speculative discussion and come to the regions of fact. In Borderland history bloodhounds were compulsorily maintained by ench hamlet for tracking the moss troopers after their raids, ami till compara lively lately the rural constabulary In England employed bloodhounds to trace sheep and poultry stealers. In BedaJe a police superintendent not long ago had a wonderful hound named Voltigeur, which could And his master wherever he might Im* and at any hour of the night. And this reference suggests the Inverse remark that the bloodhound, even as a puppy, will pick up the trail of a stranger quite easily, and perhaps more eagerly than that of his master.

Another InterestliiK fact is that the bloodhound, when alone, hunts mutej but when hunting in a pack he makud music of most delightful melody. His tracking Instinct Is so keen that he hunts the "clean shoe” as well, if not better, than when the foot of the fugitive has been purposely fouled, and it 1« a pretty sight to watch a trained hound following his quarry over n fence If the pursued has gone that way, or under the rails If such has been his course. The training of bloodhounds has not been very jierslstently followed of late years, but there have been several Im portajit trials at Box moor and at ths Alexandra Palace to wit It is noteworthy to remark that the trial at Box moor came off when deep euow was nn the ground, and that while snow wnt actually falling the bounds laid on were equally persistent In tracking the quar ry. A well trained bloodhound will fol low for five miles even after six houn 1 have elapsed since the fugitive started and although many oUier trails may have crossed the track. But ho Is fro quently at fault over stone flags II was for this reason tlwit the pursuit of Jack the Ripper by bloodhounds, at om time mooted, was after a trial discard ed. It was the late Mr. J. Bell's Conn tess which served as a model to I/and seer for his bkxHlhonml In “Dignity am! Impudence,” and also for his “Sleeping Bloodhound,” whilst the late Sir Johr Millais' Cromwell figured In more that one of that artist's pictures. Other tint hounds have been Lauth XL, Hector II and Danger. The bloodhound's arlsto ! cratic appearance, his Invariable gooC temper, and his watchfulness comment: him to social notice, while the vulgai idea regarding his ferocity renders bin an invaluable companion for ladles anti children against the annoyances Incl dental to the genus “tramp.” The pho tograph reproduced Is that of a puppj of this breed, but, like the child, he Is 1 equally father to the full-grown ani ' mal. —Sketch.

TANNER WINS A BRIDE ILLINOIS GOVERNOR WEDDED TO MISS CORA ENGLISH. One of the Most Brilliant Events in the State’s History—Ceremony Tak«« Place in St. Piml’s Church, Spring-field-Prominent People Are Present Tanner a Benedict. John R. Tanner, Governor-elect of Illinois, and Miss Gora Bditli English, of Springfield, were married in that city at noon Wednesday. The event was solemnized without display, but in a manner befitting at once the official eminence of Mr. Tanner and the social emineuefe of his bride. Half the State seemed to be looking on while vows were plighted, and all of it was represented. Immediately after the marriage luncheon at the home of Mrs. Tanner’s parents, the newly wedded pair left for the South to Idle away ten days under soft skies, unhampered by a set program. As a wedding it was unique in the buKciety annals of Illinois. Never before has a Governor of the State taken untb himself a wife on the eve of his inauguwjtion. This fact gave it a semi-offiti^ -- z ■ Ty* JOHN R. TANNER. character in the eyes of the world, which might, if permitted, have exalted the ceremony into an occasion of pomp and circumstance. Prominent Guests, The wedding guests filled St. Paul's pro-cathedral nn hour before the time set for the ceremony. Twelve hundred of them had been bidden. They came from every county and in large numbers from Springfield and ('hiengo. Nearly every man among them, all personal friends of the Tanner and English families, was one who had helped make political history in the State, and the names of many are written on the honor roll of the nation. Conspicuous were Richard J. Oglesby, throe times Governor <>f Illinois and twice ele 'od i nited States Senator; General John M Palmer, Governor and Senator; Senator Shelby M. Cullom, General John B Hamilton and General John A. Mo Clamant!. There were dorens of State official* and s< । res of men whose names are familiar to every person who ever saw a newspa]»er.

Then Dr. Taylor stepped aside and Right Rev. George F. Seymour, bishop of Springfield, pronounced the solemn benediction of the church. Then the bridal party turned and walked down the aisle, followed by the relatives and immediate friends of the families who had been invited to the wedding luncheon. The wedding reception lasted barely long enough for the bride and groom to exchange ceremonial for traveling attire. Then they w4re driven away to the railway station arA'd a chorus of final congratulations. The bride’s wedding gown was of l3 r, ‘ white mirrored velours. The bodice short and pointed, and had a front |of embroidered mull. Grills of this also edged the high, close collar. Sprays of lilies of the valley ornamented the bodice about the shoulders and the throat. The sleeves, which came well down below the knuckles, were close-fitting to the shoulder. The skirt, with its heavy satin lining, was perfectly plain, with a train three yards long.

The blood Is the vital fluid upon which all the organs depend for nourishment. When this nourishment fails to be supplied properly the whole system feels the effect.

Last winter it’selzed me again. It went to my lungs and I had congestion of the lungs and kidney and liver trouble. When I felt Its approach I Quickly Resorted to Hood’a Sarsaparilla and a glorious result followed. I was on my feet the first winter for seven years. The symptoms of the disease left me, and the ailments connected with it. For several years my husband was a sufferer riwinnaHsiu ana nonrHi^—iu

Florence Nightingale. Miss Florence Nightingale has probably caused nearly as many girls to engage in the noble calling of nursing as Robinson Crusoe has sent boys to sea. But the deeds she did ami the good she accomplished belong so entirely to events that have been relegated to the domain of history that the world foi the most part regards her as a historical figure, and forgets that she Is still living. Yet the other day, when 56 out of the 72 survivors of Balaclava met around a dinner table at Birmingham a telegram arrived expressing heartfelt sympathy to the veterans, signed “Florence Nightingale.” One Secret of Longevity.
