The Smallest Dog i'm the World.

Nearly two hundred different kinds
of dogs! Think of it! And yet this is
not difficult to believe, for we have
water dogs, aud watch dogs, and sheep
dogs, and fighting dogs, and pet dogs,
and sledge dogs, and carriage dogs;
thick dogs and slender dogs, long-legged
and short-legged dogs; dogs for killing
rats, and dogs for killing wild boars;
dogs for use, and dogs for ornament;
dogs to care for us, and dogs for us to
care for. Then there is the little dog
the toy dog, as it is called. The small
ness to which dog can be reduced is
remarkable; and if the size of the very
smallest dog had not been officially re-
corded, no one could be blamed for
doubling the facts concerning the little
fellow. "Tiny," black-and-tan ter
rier, has the honor of having been the
smallest full-grown dog that ever lived.
He belonged to acknowledgement Sir
Archibald Maclaine of England, and in
honor of his extreme tininess is now
carefully preserved under glass case.
Tiny was less than four inches long,
and could comfortably curl up and take
nap in common glass tumbler. An
ordinary finger-ring was large enough
for his collar; and when he sat up, a
baby's hand would almost have made a
broad and safe resting-place for him.
OF course Tiny was of no account
against a rat. Indeed, hearty, self
respecting mouse would have stood its
ground against the little fellow. But if
Tiny had not strength, he did have
courage, and would bark as Justify as
his little lungs would let him at the
biggest rat that ever lived-when the
rat was dead. To tell the whole truth
Tiny was remarkable and he was ia
nous, but he was not very happy. He
could have had almost anything he
wished to eat, but he had no appetite
He shivered most of the time, ever
though he was usually hidden in warn
wraps. OF course he caught cold easily
and then, oh, dear! how pitifully he die
sneeze!-C. j. Russell, IN st. Nicholas

The Adventure of a Mouse.

A mother-mouse, when her children
had nearly reached the age at which it
became time for them to seek their
own fortunes in the world, cautioned
them particularly against the traps and
dangers that would lie in their paths.
"My children" said she, I" the cheese
looks very tempting, and is even some
times toasted, but beware of it; for it
will bring misfortune to you" One
time the whole family of young mice
came upon a trap. "This, suppose"
said the eldest and wisest, " is the trap
against which our mother so carefully
warned us. And yet,' continued he,
the cheese looks very tempting. l
doubt extremely if there be any real
think that, by proper amount of self
control and wariness, one might avoid
all i'll consequences. Because some
have been caught, it does not necessar-
lily follow that like fate must overtake
all. AT least shall inspect the trap to
satisfy myself whether there is really
as much danger in it as our mother
said. You know she is apt to be over
cautious very often" And, with this
remark, in spite of the urgent warn
ings of his brothers, the over-wise
mouse deliberately entered the trap.
Z" cannot see," said he, when he was
within, a" that there is any real danger,
and it is very pleasant here. One need
not eat of the cheese, you know" But
even as he spoke the delicious smell of
the cheese overcame his caution; he
concluded there could be no danger in
taking the smallest nibble. No sooner,
however, had he touched the tempting
morsel, than the trap fell and he was a
prisoner. "Alasl' said he to his weep
ing mother, who had fastened to the
trap upon learning the fate of her son,
now discover, when it is too late to
repent, that the experience of age is
safer than the presumption of youth. y
