DO Dogs Understand Our Ian,
guage?

| From Letter to the Boston Journal.
An article in recent number of the
journal on this subject was reminder
to me Of quite number Of incidents in
my experience with this useful and in
| teresting animal. When quite young
| being very fond Of hunting, procured
| a brace Of fox hounds, calling one Of
! them Buck aud the other Mountain
They were both well trained for the
chase, and upon frosty LAY in Decem-
her they had fox on large open
meadow Of some fifty acres, oblong in
, shape. and were pressing him hard
vaen came up and got good shot at
INN, but failed to bring him down.
The fox. when hard pres>ei, will often
| make circuit around hil! or meadow
two or tnree times, ard by his move
ments | thought he was going u do so
in this instance When the dogs came
up | sad to Mountain: THE fox is
| coming here a. lin; head him off across
lots He at once stopped his baying
! and started in a cross. lot course, while
Buck pressed him hard in the rear witt
| his usual noise and vyor. In few
! minutes all was over with Reynard, he
running almost directly into the dogs
mouth, sho, IN good hound style, fin.
ished him at once. During the winter
evenings following my neighbors would
| call in. When ] would relate TO them
the feat OF this dog, Mountain would at
once inmp from the floor. putting his
paws into my lap, looking me in the
face, seeming to say, "Did not do it in
good style?" At the same time Buck
, did not paw the least at ention to the
conversation, but lie quietly on the
floor.
Later on in life it became my duty to
assist in taking the grand list In my ma.
tive town, at a time when dogs were put
in,o the list at 81 each. ] had taken the
list ofa neighbor Of mine, when saw a
| fine. looking dog living on the floor. and
on inquiry found he owned him. tfen

An Improved ,Ograpllic Pro

A description is given OF new French
process FOR obtaining Photographic ini-
ages so as to have pos tive impression
from positive plate, and a negative
print from negative ori inal. This
proSess is based, il seems, on the fact OF
tie easy reduction OF soluble bichro-
mates mixed with certain organc sub
stances, and the relative insolubii,y OF
bi.chromate Of silver. Suitable paper is
covered with solution OF two grains OF
bi-chromate Of ammonia, and fifteen
grams of sugar, dissolved in one hundred
of water, and posed. when dry, to light
under a positive; as soon as the
yellow paper becomes gray, it is re-
moved. AMI INNER rsed in one per cent.

ic acid has been added. The image i'm.
