From Haarlemmermeer, in Holland, comes a curious example of the friendship which is sometimes noticeable between animals. At a farm there a house-dog, chained to his kennel, every day receives a visit from a hen friend, Medor is the dog, and he is on the best of terms witlh the hen. He does not bark at her approach, but politely gives up his seat to the lady. The fowl enters the kennel, and, after a time, cackles. The dog waits patiently, and then she conies out. As soon as the hen has departed—and she makes no sign of recognition to her friend—Medor once more takes possession of his house. Then he sets about eating the egg which the hen has laid.
