whose mental powers were still more, adj

inc celebrated for his abilities, was of
substantial benefit to a charitable insti-
tuition in his town. srlTKe dog I refer to
was aslittle white fex-tefrier,l Prin, by
name; who lived att thesi LionIH at
Kidderninster, for three. or four years
but now, alas! he is Dead. and nothing

him are based on the statements of Mr..
Lloyd, his master, and they are fully
substantiated by the evidence of many

The contributions began in September,
1874, and ended on April %,
1876, and during that period the

with coins, not unusual among terriers,
and he advanced tora discovery that he
could exchange the coin for biscuits.
He learned that for half-penny he
could get two biscuits, and for a penny
three; and having became. able to dis

impossible to cheat him, If he. had con-

bar till he had had his third biscuit;
and if there was n6bodyto attend to his
wants, heskept the eoinsinlhis mouth till
he could be serEed.ss Indeed, it was this
persistence which ultimately caused
poor Prin,s death, for there is every
reason to fear that he fell a victim to
copper poisoning. VI g.asiistie training
