Strange to say this dog is

great quality which enables dogs
to perform some tricks. For ex.
ample, the poodles who play at
dominoes are taught by their
scent. Their trainer touches the
dominoes which the dog has to
play, and the animal smelling
them picks them out from the rest
and plays them. The pig is said

the trainer to have recourse TO
cruel means. For instance, to

foot an iron ring, with sharp
points, is placed on it, and being
drawn by a rope the points enter
the flesh. The elephant, feeling
the pain, lifts up his foot and
keeps it there until the pain

!, XyEsS,Nl tricks. People who

iosee horses, ele.
s.al plants. monkey $
and the likes per-
form wonderful tricks must often
ask themselves how the animals
are taught to do them. A writer
having interviewed several circus
celebrities undertakes to satisfy
their curiosity. One of the train
ers of the show, who has had
charge of the animals for thirty
years, supplies Interesting in
formation concerning horses.
THE horse, he says, contrary
to general belief, lis the most
stupid animal on earth. He has
only one faculty, memory. You
must teach him his exercises with
the cavesson and the long whip.
Having forced them into his
head you mast use the short
whip when he resists and give
him a carrot when he obeys.
Whips and carrots form the
secret of the trainer. The horse
must be from five to seven years
before that age he is too spirited;
after it his muscles are not elastic
enough.
1.-The first thing to do is to ac-
custom your horse to the ring,
to make him run round regularly
and then stop at a given signal.
To accomplish this the animal is
brought into the ring. The
trainer holds in his left hand
the tether, which is passed into
the cavesson, a kind of iron cres-
cent armed with sharp points
fixed on the nose of the horse;
in his right hand he holds the
long whip. Behind the animal
an assistant with a stout, short
whip is posted. The trainer
calls ON the horse to start. and
pulling the tether and smacking
his long whip, forces him to gal
lop round. If he refuses the
assistant uses his whip also; if
he is obedient he is awarded with
a carrot. To make him stop the
trainer cracks his long whip
again, while the assistant, with
his short whip, throws himself
in front of the animal and the re-
suit is obtained"
The same authority tells us
that the horse has a great OBJ
lection to kneeliug or lying down
at any moment. This feat is
taught by means of iron brace
lets placed on his ankles and at
tached to a tether held by the
trainer, who by sudden jerks or
pulls as he is moving, makes him
| fall or kneel. The animal re.
members the lesson. and by dint
of whip and carrot ultimately
performs them at the mere COM
mand of the trainer. The horse
is taught to dance to music in
the same way, with the foot
bracelets As regards the
learned horse, who opens boxes
and takes things out of them,
here is how the animals trained
to do it:
