But 1t Will be observed that the ef-
feet upon the dogs temperament Is
still pernicious- Undoubtedly it is
being whistled to so continually that
causes the dog to be nervous and II
ritable. and subject TO distemper and
cholera in his youth
When he becomes older and his
nerves hardened. he still is liable TO
hydrophobia, which signifies dread OF
water" This because the mans whis-
tie has to be wet occasionally, and the
dog, be it understood not only hates
the whistle, but the element where

We think we have now shown the
connection between the'whistle and the

prone to ruin his disposition and over
