A LUCKY DOG.
Baron de Jouarre, who died in Faria a few days ago, bequeathed the whole of his fortune, amounting to 150,000 francs to “ Tiger,” his faithful Danish mastiff. According to the provisions of the will a family residence is to be purchased in one of the suburbs, in which the dog is to take up his quarters. A male attendant and a charwoman are appointed to look after the dog and keep the house in order, and will be paid for their services an annual salary of 2,000. francs each, together with free lodgings. Every little contingency has been provided for. A small sum has been set apart for the apothecary and the veterinary surgeon ; every year Tiger is to be furnished with a new rug, and in spring and summer with fresh collars of elegant design. At the demise of the noble animal 1000 francs are to be spent on a gravestone, and the house and the capital are to ecome the property of the Society for the Protection of Animals.
