A WORD FOR PIGEONS, DOGS, AND

HORSES!

Owing to the severe remarks which have IN,. made
respecting pigeon shooting, attention bas been directed
more closely than usual to the whole questirin if
cruelty to animals, and there is an uncomfortable im-
pression in many quarters that the result of too close
an investigation of the subject will lead to the dis-
covery of an iIIIIIII,IISO ans dint of cruelty which has
hitherto escaped observation ; indeed, it is Urged, not
without reason, that humanity carried to "tine bitter
end " will render life not only incovenient but insup-
portable (remarks the Pall Mall Gaulle). Dogs
and horses have the first clahns upon our con-
sideration on account of the intimate terms upon
which we live with them. As regards the former, we
ought not to forget that it is cruel at all times,
and doubly cruel during this hot weather, to keep dogs
chained to kennels on which the sunshine falls without
mercy, and if they .10 occasionally become mad under
such circumstances it is not surprising. As regards
horses, we surely might devise some lighter harness
for them than that Ismrible combination of bard, heavy
collars and needless reins and straps under which they
are expected to perform their work with the same
facility as though the thermometer stood at freezing.
point. A correspondent of the Borilder suggests water
bags in lien of the present stuffing for collars and
sa.hfies. The idea moat all events worth " consi.lera-
Con."

An interesting letter from Miss M. Rye to Mr.
W. Rathbone, M.P., has been published. Miss Rye is hope-
ful of the future of her 'gutter children." Her success with
the last " batch," she says, has exceeded anything she had
done previrmsly. When she arrived at "Our Western Home,
Niagara." there were over MO " good homes waiting for the
children." She then proceeded to say : "It seems that the
children we have put out during the past eighteen months
have given, on the whole, such universal satisfaction, that I
think, if I could be sure of getting the same class of children
could thol homes for LOW. At any rate, we have now still
in the house over 100 tryst applications (all canadian), from
first-class people, toil substantial farmers, and Men of the

section with the Primitive Methotitst Sunday School
held their annual treat in a field near to Cradley Mill,
kindly lent by Mr. Evers. The scholars met at the.
school, and formed themselves in good order with Hap
interspersed, and proceeded to the field; when at once
they engaged in V.ll-1011S sports. Before long, however,
they were called from this to partake of tea, which they
all seemed heartily to enjoy, after which they commenced
again their former pleasures. During the day several
balloons were sent up by the chief members of the choir,
who, also, under the able leadership of Mr. Smith, sung
some excellent pieces. At the close of the day the chil.
dren were gathered together in front of the house ni
Mr. Evers, when they sang in an admirable manner. A
vote of thanks was also here accorded to Mr. Ever:, for
his kindness in lending the field, and also to the choir for
their present:le during the day. They then left the field.
and went to their several homes.
