a pugilist, or a runner. i*'ine, light nourishing food with iln; lilt. that. makes hone find sinew not too much of it however— and a day by day cold water or sea water bathing of those precious legs until (.hey grew' hard ami flexible as a steel board. Then came the training for the jumping. At first I really had no conception of his natural powers. Mis earlier performances had been of the usual kind, leaping or turning somersaults over chairs and tables from a springboard, in the way of most pelforming dogs. But 1 noticed first, that however he fell he fell as light, i sis a tea I her. I "Then all ill once one day he aI mazed us all in a gymnasium as wo 1 stood doing other work by stepping I gravely tip to a horizontal bar ten ; feet, from the floor,, critically mens- ; tiring the distance and living clean over the bar without even an effort. It was then that my eves were opened to his great possibilities, and I proceeded to tram him to the point of perfection at which lie has now arrived. "I believe he has no equal and never ran have an equal in this world, because scarcely one wolfhound in live thousand is so powerfully developed in limb or body. "Above till things else he objects to pampering he objects to (he palace ears ; he objects to his attendants : he objects to railroad conductors or guards. Left to himself, there is nothing he would delight iu so much as a road run of a hmivln d miles or so to the next stopping place with an occasional light wit!) another dog or a foray aider eats.’ In addition to this wonderful high jumping, and his equally wonderful feat of jumping on to a window pane held horizontally,, and off again without even cracking the glass, Rarity has been taught, to jump over a tub of water. This may not seem very di I lie nl I, but it is. In making the jump what may be called a double spring is required. Darby jumps as if to aligh tint he tub of water. but just, ns his feet lotirh the water he springs upward again, alighting on l lie ground at the opposite side ol the I nh. An examination of the, dog's feet will show that they barely touched I he •fvater at all, and that, ho did not make the slightest splash. —■" N. V, World.”
