A JEALOUS DOG.
A curious instance of a dog's intelligent jealousy is reported from LJanishen, Wales. A happy family there consisted of a lady, a eat, a kitten, and a Yorkshire terrier. All four were on excellent terms until the terrier took umbrage at attentions which its mistress bestowed upon, the kitten. The terrier straightway began to dig a hole hi the garden, and finished its task to its satisfaction in three days. Then the kitten disappeared. A search was made, and as the terrier was seen patting down the earth over the hole which it had refilled, the soil was removed, and the kitten was found to liave been buried alive. The dog was punished, but it took the kitten to the grave again, and the following day took it to a ditch and left it there.
