Management oi? Doss.—Dogs kept constantly in the house must he let out four or five times a day For a few minutes, otherwise it 13 cruel to punislj them for want of cleanliness. All dog>, whether long, or short haired, arc better for being brushed once a a day ; it conduces to the health, and greatly increases the comfort of the animal. A dog who is well brushed regularly, seldom requires washing, and i« never infested with vermin ; but if the dog is to be washed, let it bb done with yolks of eggs and not with soap, which irritates the skhr, inflames the eyes, and by temporarily depriving tic .skin of its natural nilv s ceretiou, makes the dog extremely liable to be chilled afterwards. The washing with the yolk 01 ears may be managed as follows:—Let the dog stand in an empty (üb, rub the yolks of two, four, or more egsrs by decrees into his coat, adding- lukewarm water a little at a time, until the dog is covered with a thick lather. When It is well rubbed in over the whole coat pour clean warm water over the do.? till the e"-ff 'is entirely washed out. Tiie advantages of the' process are, that the dog's coat docs not lose its glossy appearance afterwards, and that the whole operation can be performed quickly and quietly, and without any splashing or water or rough handling. To remov.'i flea', take enough soft soap to rub into the whole coat of the dog; add to this a teaspoonful more or lc-s, according to the size of the dog, of spirits of turpentine; nib this mixture well into the roots of the hair, addingl a little warm water to make it reach the skin. Let this remain on for a quarter of an hour, then plunge the dog into a warm bath, and rub off the mixture with the hand. Care should be tak<n not to let it get ii;to the eyes, and to wash it completely out of the skin.— House Doys and Sporting JDoga ; by J. Meyriclt. Curious Fihsak in A Pahtmdoe.—A thrifty housewife residing at Dalnatkatnich, in the Parish of Duthil, had last summer a heu with a brood of chickens, -which she tended with great care; One day the good wife had occasion to go from home, the heu and her family being left to shift for themselves as they best could. When the woman returned in the. evening, she was troubled on finding that two of her chickensVere luissins. On informing her husband, of the catastrophe, the honest man tried to sooth her by stating that unquestionably some evil boast had devoured them, and in a few days the chickens were rembered only as things that were. But wonders never cease. In about a fortnight after the chickens hud disappeared, the pood man was one evening fishing iv the river Dulnan, and when about a mile from his house he heard the chirping of a bird on a gravel bunk not.fai- from the river. lie betook himself to the spot from which the sound issued, and there saw a partride with outspread wings sheltering what he thought to be her own brood, and on scaring the bird away, to his astonishment he discovered the two lost chickens safe and sound, plat and plump, under the fostering care of the partridge. Whether the bird carried them, away by strength, or by stealth, remains a mystery. The chickens were delivered to their parent, who gave a hearty welcome to her last progeny on their being restored £ to their native dunghill.— Invermts Courier,
