DOGS AND PICTURES.

Incidents Showing That Animals Can
"Makc Out" Painting.
1t has long been disputed question
whether animals can be made to per.
ceive the semblance of living creatures
in the fat surface of picture, and be
deceived into supposing that the paint
ed representation of an animal is really
a living thing. Stories of such percep-
tion in dogs, horses and cats are not
very rare, but few of them have been
well authenticated; and the fact has
often been observed that the most in
telligent animals, though they are ex-
ceedingly curious, and often become eX-
cited over an image in a looliing-glass,
regard pictures with Indifference.
The London Spectator, however, re-
lates, on the faith of a correspondent, an
incident or two which seem to indicate
in certain animals, at least, an ability to
make OUT picture.
An English painter, the Spectator
says, owned terrier which had a very
bad habit of chasing sheep, and was
cured of it by dint of much labor and
care.
One day the dogs master painted a
picture of a flock of sheep, guarded by
two dogs, and on being called out of the
studio by some one, he left the picture
leaning against wall.
On his return he was surprised and de-
lighted, for he regarded the fact as o
compliment to his work, to find his ter
rier barking loudly at the picture, his
ears pricked up his eyes cleaning with
fire, and his whole manner indicating
excitement.
The painter looked upon the incident
as the more remarkable from the fact
that the figures of the sheep were not
painted life-size, but were only about
eight or ten inches long.
But while the dogs illusion regarding
the sheep must have been complete, it
was quite remarkable that he did not
seem to see the pictures of the dogs, and
paid no attention to them whatever.
AS often, afterward, as he was shown
the picture, the terrier became greatly
excited by it, frequently mounting a ta-
BILE in order to approach nearer to it,
The same journal tells another story
of quite as remarkable q character. A
lady who possessed two dogs had the
portrait of one of them paint by the
artist Chalon. The painter, having fin
ished the picture, left it out of doors a
few minutes to dry. The other dog,
happening to come up, began to bark at
it and to gambol about it precisely as
he would have done if he had met his
companion

erly voice of his wife, who had CHANGED
to overhear the conversation.
The years passed on and Jack became
real farmers boy-toiling in the fields
in the fruitful season and tramping
across the woods to school in the winter.
Jack Shepherd is good boy, and well
worth the raising" his benefactor would
say, proudly, whenever the boys capa-
bilities were called in question.
When the news of the fall of Fort
Sumter was flashed over the North that
sad April day in 1861, Farmer Gibbons
could scarcely be persuaded that he was
too old man to shoulder musket and
march to the defense of his country, and
when it was told him that his Oldest
boy had headed the list of volunteers,
he said, with tears streaming down his
sunburnt checks: "God bless you, Dam

The next day letter from George,
the student, came, telling that he, too,
had donned the blue. 81 could not help
it, father. All the students are volun-
teering," he wrote.
Never mind, mother" said the farm
er, at sight of his wife's wet eyes. "We
gave them to God when they were
babes, and if He chooses to use them in
helping to save the country, His will be
done"
Jacks patriotic heart would have
tempted him to follow the example of
Dan and George, but Mr.. Gibbons said:
"Wait q bit and see how times go. Old
men like me and slips of boys like you
are not worth much on long marches, so
for the present we had better stay at
home and raise something upon which
to feed our soldiers"
Jack listened quietly, and then with
out word went back to the plow he had
left standing in the furrow.
A year passed away, and with it
poor Jacks bright hopes of the future.
A hundred dollars that Mr.. Gibbons
had placed in the desk in the room ad-
joining his disappeared mysterieusly,
and circumstances pointed suspiciously
towards him as the thief Though obe-
dent and tractable, the boy was high
spirited, and resented, as base, any in
situations that called his honesty in

question. His indignant denial would
have had much weight with the consci-
entious farmer had not Ben, the Glib
bons' baby, asserted boldly that he had
seen Jack 'fooling round the desk more
than once"
In the eyes of the parents this proof
was conclusive, besides it accounted for
the many petty thefts that, in the last
few months, had sorely puzzled the
worthy couple. The soul of honor him
self, Mr.. Gibbons would not tolerat te
any departure from recti tude, especially
in one for whom he had done SO much.
The result of the trouble was that Jack
packed up what few things he needed
for change, and went out from the
home where his happiest days had been
spent.
God will not forget your kindness to
a poor, friendless orphan" he said, as
he took mother Gibbons hand at par
ting.
Going directly to a recruiting Office,
he enlisted in Michigan regiment,
and in less than twenty-four hours he
was on his way to Tennessee, where
General Halleck was just then laying
siege to Corinth. In spite of his youth
and consumptive tendencies Jack made
a good soldier and came out of the
bloody conflict without his fair name
being tarnished
Instead of returning to the home that
had sheltered his boyhood, he went
West and settled upon claim, taking
up his lonely life as a rightful heritage.
Not so kindly did the four years of
warfare deal with the poor old farmers
lads, for when the boys in blue came
marching home, not one of the stall
wart sons who had gone forth to battle
walked in the ranks. George and Ben
had come home in pine collins many
days before, while Dan was left sleeping
beneath the bright Southern skies
After Jack had gone away Ben gained
his fathers consent to become a soldier,
but before year had passed he sick
ened and died, but not until he had
taken upon him self the theft that had
sent the orphan boy alone into the world.
More than score of years afterwards
an irresistible desire to look upon the
faces of the friends of his youth sent
Jack back to catch glimpse of the old
familiar walks. 1t was on the 30th of
May that he arrived, and the little town
was gay with flowers and banners. Join
ing in the PROCESSION that was vending
its way to the cemetery he passed quiet
ly to the grave of his father, now
marked by marble slab. In the same
row, little to the east, he read the
names of George and Ben Gibbons, and
an old veteran who was scattering flow
ers on the graves of the brothers in
formed him that Dan closed his life in a

that tiny soldiers uniform. But the
crowd of mingled blue and grayclad
mon gave back quickly, when flying
figure, with gay turban all awry and
checked dress, sailing in its selfsreated
breeze, dashed in its midst.
"Gimme that child here" cried Aunt
Dicey, hysterically. "ru'n round here,
my angel pettikins, an let yo' nanny
see If desc here scamps done hurt my
sugar lump"
She examined the child carefully and
then, holding him while that valiant
warrior wept loudly and bitterly, har-
rangued the soldiers.
"Iou'se pretty lot, amt yer now?
Comm here gittin' up a fuss right TO
spectacle people, till declar dis yer
baby had ter como ter shame you. Its
lowborned, dats wat it tits, an it's me,

business. Gimme dat sword herer' And
off went the heroic old woman with her
struggling, shrielsing charge, followed
by shouts of ungovernable laughter,
which, however, won no notice from the
disdainful Aunt Dicey.
The soldiers then stood looking visit
fully at each other, and glancing with
eyes filled with dew that took nothing
from their manhood at the big hat
which had fallen off and been forgotten
during the owners late unfair contest
with his duslly conqueror and now lay
in the dust. Very reverently soldier
in gray held it up and held it, while an
other in blue stuck the loosened feather
back in place. The two bands then
formed in silence and with no longer
any desire for battle marched away in
opposite directions, but ere the orders
to move were given a ite-haired Col
onel stepped forward and raised his
shabby cap. He only said, with one
hand pointing to Heaven, while the 9TH
ers listened with dropped heads
