the poor beasts sleep, before which time
however, they have made the widest strug-
giles. In less than five minutes the rolling
cage is pulled out full of dead dogs.
The Fourriere delivers over these cadavers

regulation price of IL cents each, for big
and little. This company utilizes every part
and portion. The skins of these dead dogs
are tanned for gloves, for rugs, for shoes
and for slippers; their carcasses boiled down
give grease for wagon wheels, and the resi-
due is transformed into a species of highly
priced fertilizer.

The Execution.

twenty little dogs; but often some big poin-

a vacant chair by the desk at which Mr..

but Eckeis kept on writing. Finally the man,

Then he pulled out his paper and began to

no enc CHANGED to come in. The man read
for an hour or so, during which time he
pulled out his watch every few minutes,
looked at it, grunted, and then resumed his
reading At last, having read even the ad-

exclaimed:

when dogs in Paris are known by actual
