Queer Diet Of a Dog .

Mr.. Thomas Morgan, Of Kentish
Town, wondered for long time why
his garden remained desolate, notwith-
standing all the paius and seeds he
lavished upon it, and why his neigh
boris dog was always so plump and
fat, until he discovered the cause and
effect to be that the animal was inordi-
nateiy fond of tulips, hyAcinths, or
chids. and other flowers, and was iu
the habit of visiting the Horticultural
preserves and eating up all the blooms
he could reach. He did not care about
grass or lockwood, or any of the com
mon sorts. but the moment he saw
Mr.. Morgan plant black tulip or a
rare orchid his eyes sparkled with
the feast in store, and the moment
the plant blossomed he deyour-
ed it, stalk and all. For three
wears this went on. The dog was
Unsuitable. He was kind of walking
botanical garden, and still had always
su appetite for more. Mr.. Morgan
dared not kill the dog, because he
might be held liable for its value,
which, of course. would not be taken
at his own appraisement, so he sued

County Court, for the damage done to
the garden. = London Telegraph.
