ANECDOTES OF RATS.


The following curious anecdote
furnishes another instance of the oc-
casional confidence of animals in
others which they are supposed to
regard generally as their natural
enemies. "Some years since i lived
in the village of Ickleton, in Cam
bridgeshire. After my shooting ex-
cursions the dogs were fed in their
kennels, the food being placed in a
long trough. To this duty gener-
ally attended myself. Upon one oc-
casion, after feeding the dogs, i
looked into the kennel through hole
In the door, and was somewhat aston
ished, not at perceiving number Of
rats there, but to see them in the
trough, quietly and fearlessly par
taking of bread and milk with the
dogs, who seemed to payne attention
to such small deer.' Idoomed the
rats to destruction; and the next
day placed the trough in such posi-
tion, that s gun pointed through the
hole would rake IL from one end to
the other. At the usual hour the
food wss placed as a lure-but the
dogs were kept out-in vain. i
could see the head of sagaeious old
rat, peering ont at more than one
hole, and from under the manger, for
p pose Of accommodating but
aoly descended. Having waited half
an hour to no purpose, / let in the
dogs, and in few minutes they were
feeding cheek by jowl. Had / not
ascertained this | might have sup
posed that altering the position Of
the trough, or some other triiing
disarrangement OF the economy Of
the kennel, had aroused the suspicious
OF the little creatures, they seemed
however, to be aware that theifsafety
was connected with the presence Of
the dogs"
