Dogs and Cats in Paris.

1t is curious question whether animals
take notice of the events which are passing
around them, but which, nevertheless, are
apparently outside Of the sphere of their in
stinct. NJ TheophiIe Gautier, the well
known French journalist and writer, has
raised this question in regard to the animals
which were in Paris duiing the siege; aud
he brings forward several facts, which he
says fell under his own observation. to prove
that they not only took notice OF passing
events, but regulated their movements ac-
cordingly. He observes that the dogs took
notice, from the very first day, of the abnor-
NAL condition of Paris. The unusual move
ments of the inhabitants, the almost univer-
sal change from civil to military costume,
the exercising of the mobiles a the nation
al guards o. the public parades. the contln-
ua sounding of tie trumpet and beating Of
drums kept them constantly excited and un-
easy and set them to rejecting.
Some of them, refugees from the suburbs,
with their masters, visibly lost their power of
finding their way about. They hesi!ated in
the choice of streets, were unct rtain of the
traces, scented their path, and, at every ctr-
uer. consulted some olher dog that lived in
the neighborhood. The SUBURBAN dogs were
scared at the noise Of passing vehicles and
ra. from them, while the city dogs scarcely
| took the trouble to get out OF the way of the
wheels. Every m"rning," SAYS NJ. Gautier,
| there assembled before our door what a
peared to be council of dogs, presided over
| by broad cked, handy legged brown aud
] yellow terrier. The other dogs paid him
great difference, aud listened to him atten-
lively. 1t was evident thai he spoke to
them, not after the manner OF men, IN an

THE Termont Farmer says: Mr.. Emery,
Of Worcester, after trying several ways of
fee ling horses, has settled down on the fol-
lowing: - lie feeds whole hay with six quarts
Of bran and corn meal, half and half, twice
day, wet. He has fed so for the last year.
His horses look finely, and he works them
hard, but at the same time he is a careful
man with a team. He intends to have th m
so led at stated times, once in twelve hours.
This is much better than ieeuing meal alone,
as the coarse bran separates the particles of
meal aud prevents its hacking so bard as is
otherwise would in the stomach Of the horse;
but even this is not safe way with all
horses. The concentrated food should he
more divided with coarse fodder. The on
nibus lines in cities have had experience on
a large scale, aud find the only wy is to
iced meal, or meal and bran, mixed with
about an equal weight oil cut hay or straw.
This gives abundance Of strong feed, and
also bulk, leaving The contents OF the ST M
ach in a porous condition, so that the gastric
Juice can circula freely thu ugh the mass,
and come in contact wiCh every portion at
once. Feeding concentrated food to horses
without adn,xrure with coarse iodder is the
ffuitiu cause OF stomach complaints, COLES,
inflamn atoms, blind staggers, etc. We have
known many horses lost by Ieeding meal
alone, or meal with small quantity OF
bran.
