HOME INSTINCT OF ANIMALS.
Curious Ingtances.

The instinct which enables the carrier-pigeon
to find his way home is also shared by other anil
mails. writer in the London Daily News says;
A subject that has long had deep Interest
for naturalists Is the power possessed by birds
and animals of finding their way back to CIV
en- spot by road never before travelled by
them. There appears to be no doubt that Prov.
idence has bestowed an Instinct upon them we,
who do not possess It, are hardly able to com:
prehend. Birds of passage find their way by
means of this unerring gnide to the remotesi
regions Of the earth, and seem to prefer travel.
ling by night, as the keepers Of oflighthouses are
well aware, inasmuch as they frequently find
woodcocks and other birds lying dead under
the windows, having been killed by flying
against the thick plate-glass, attracted, like
moths, by the light.
The same faculty exists in various domestic
animals, but is not so strongly developed as In
birds. A horse belonging to friend OF mine
was turned out in some marshes adjoining the
Thames. The distance In straight line from
his owners house was only few miles, but he
had to be sent long way round to cross o
bridge. In less than twenty-four hours he made
his appearance at the stable-door dripping wet,
having swan the river and taken a straight
line home. During the life OF the celebrated
sportsman, the late Sir Richard Sutton, q
draught of young hounds was sent up TO Lon
don from the kennel near Lincoln, and there
put on board vessel to 60 abroad. While the
ship was dropping down the Thames one ol
them Jumped overheard, and swan ashore.
Some weeks after it made Its appearance at
the kennel half starved and covered with bites
bestowed upon 1t by its more fortunate fellows.
Some years since dog fox was run to
ground, on Hatfield heath, near Ashford,
Kent. When dug out he was found to have
some remarkable white spots about him. there
fore the Earl Of Thanet had him sent to his seat
in Westmoreland-Appleb Castle--a distance
of three hundred miles, and turned down. a
fortnight afterwards the same fox was killed
near Hath1eld-his native place. Not very
long ago saw COW bought at farm auction.
About six o'clock In the evening she was sent
off home by the purchaser, and was placed IN
the,yard, distance OF fifteen miles from her
former home. At six o'clock the next morn
ing she was found back In her old shed, quiet.
ly chewing her cud, waiting to be milkesd
as usual.
l once purchased brood Of dueklings, about
month old, without the hen that hatched
them. took them home and placed them, as
l thought. safely in q pik pound. In the morn
ing found they were oil gone, and discover.
er them snugly hudGled together at their old
quarters, at the other end Of the village, In
the nest In which they were Matched. A
laborer told me he had met them In the street,
homeward bound at o'clock A. NJ, as he was
going to work. They had not been of the
premises where they were bred before.

bad luck; you will lose all your work unless
you can get nag to finish your crop. Go to
my stable and get that old mule that's blind in
