The banana hound, it will be remembered, subsists entirely on bananas. He has no teeth, Dut is equipped with a couple of funge on his nose with which ho peels tho bananas before eating them. ‘The claim to the only original Peru- vian banana hound by Prof. Dexter Fellows of Barnum &@ Bailey College has been disputed by H. Wilbur Law. ton of Whiteside, L. 1, who has banane hound whose ancestry dates back many, mahy years to Teapot fead, Jamaica, the head ef the family, ith his master, having been wrecked om Rum Key. Mr. H. Wilbur Lawton as documents to prove the veracity of his assurance. Since Mr. H. Wilbur Lawton started the discussion, the matter has been taken up by dogdom, generally. Kvening World is daily receiving let- térs on the subject, and various ether varieties of dogs are being discovered. What kind of a hound or a dog have you at home? If you haven't got « banana hound, what kind have you? —and 20 minutes’ cooking here— Make it H-O in the morning. The The honesty of the claim of Prof. Dexter Follows shoul not be doubt- ed for @ moment, as I have seen many euch animals, in the jungtes of Peru and Bolivia, busily engaged fn pooling and eating their favorite fruit. I @hould Hke to communicate with Prof. Fellows, through the medium of The Evening World, concerning my Patagonian peanut pup. This dog, which is of @ very rare epecies, lives almost entirely on pea- nuts, It was captured in a very wild ‘and inaccessible part of Patagonia, only after a desperate battle with the mother dog. ‘These dogs live on peanuts, which they dig up and Jay on a rock in the hot sun, thus roasting them. In‘ appearance they greatly re- eemble the tanane hound, except that they have a very rough skin, somewhat upon the order of a pea- nut, The head has a very peculiar, not to say nutty, appearance, I shall gladly exhibit my animal to any one interested enough to call.

To make a long story short, while casting about for means of entertainment and also for a way of affording my Intelligent pets legitimate employment, a brother officer suggested the hunting ef the wild banana, which at that time Were quite numerous in the vicinity and harassed the authorities by their frequent invasions of villages and other minor depredations, | 1 wae not certain that deagies, trained to the pursult of the bare and other inoffensive animals would take to the chase of the Hindoo ban- | ana; often an aggressive and, not infrequently, a dangerous creature. ing slong a jungle track with my dengles.
