An Intelligent DOG.

More than one story has been told of thu
refusal OF the part of a dog who had beer
entrusted with carrying a paper to his
master to take the wrong one when offered
to him. Such relations have generally
been received with a degree Of incredulity
However, an English paper published il
Egypt, the Egyptian Gazette, tells n story
of the kind with a circumstantiality which
appears to entitle it to credence.
The paper says that one of its patrons in
Cairo regularly sent his dog, a large and
very intelligent Russian hound, to get The
Gazette on it's arrival from Alexandria.
The animal always carried q coin in his
mouth with which to pay for the paper.
One day the dog came back without the
paper and with h coin stillin his mouth,
This was good proof that the papers had
not been obtained and lost. The gentle
man went to the newsdealer's to see what
had been the matter.
He found that the copies Of the Egyp-
tian Gazette had all been sold very soon
after their arrival and that when the dog
came none was left. The dealer gave the
dog a copy of the Bosphore Egyptien, a
French paper, instead, but he absolutely
refused to receive it. Therefore the dealer
gave him back the coin and sent him home.
1t is not to be supposed that the dog
could distinguish by sight between a French
paper and an English paper, or indeed be-
tween any two newspapers of similar gen.
eral appearance, but he had a method of his
own OF distinguishing them-by means of
the sense of smell.

The venture wa 40 quickly executedthst
Il was completely successful. Tho oocu-
pants Of the cottages had fed, leaving their
dinners untouched on tho table and the
canaries in their cages. In one cottage was
found a child about Q months old clothed
and asleep in its cradle.
An officer carried away the little one a. a
prisoner Of war and sent the news Of his
capture to headquarters Word came ut
once from Lord Raglan ordering that n flag
of truce should be sent out next morning
and that all possible search and inquiry
should be made for the mother Of the child.
Some of the officers were amused that SO
much trouble should be taken about a
stray baby. but the chiefs orders had to be
obeyed.
No mother was forthcoming, however, to
acknowledge the lost wait. But there was
n woman in the rifle brigade who had a ba-
by n few weeks old who was willing to un-
dertake double duty. About three weeks
elapsed. and then Raglan the Good sent
another message to his staff, who had for
ing hat inquiry be made after 1.-THE mother
and her twins"
Word came back that the two children
were thriving admirably, but that the
mother herself looked worn and tired.
