he firmly resolved to make the animal

the adoption Of ingenious means, lie at.

note escaped either from instrument or
voice, as often as any blundcr, Of whatever
kind, was committed by the members of

were sometimes committed Intentionally

MANAGES with the stick were substituted for

Of this extraordinary training, a mere
glance of Mr.. 5 IS eve was sufTif lent
to make the animal howl 10 admiration.
In the end, poodle became so thoroughly
acquainted with and attentive 10 false notes
and other musical barbarisms, that the
slightest mistake of the kind was infaIlibly
slgnaizcd by yell from her, forming the
