A Dog with q Broken Bone.

The long bones Of the dog are those
which he is most liable to break, or,
rather, to have broken for him, as the
injuries are usually traceable to direct
violence. When the parts of the brok-
en- bone are properly brought together
the reparative process is almost al
ways remarkably rapid in the dog, be-
cause he seems to understand that he
must not interfere with the injured
limb, and willingly keeps quiet.
John Woodroffe Hill, the noted Eng
lish veterinary surgeon and a writer
of authority on t'The Dog: Its Man
agement and Diseases" says Of frac-
lures that ''the treatment consists In
reducing the separated portions to
their proper position and maintaining
them there, -1hen so reduced, by the
application Of splints and bandages.
Splints may be composed OF WOOD
pasteboard, leather, or gutta percha,
the first three of which are retained in
position by bandaging, but the last is
made soft by hot water and then mold
ed to the limb. To take the place OF
splints, bandages may be soaked in
gum, starch, or plaster Of paris. "-Our
Animal Friends.

Their Efforts to Get at the Kidneys of tn
Living Animals.

Living animals
A group has just been mounteG in
the Smithsonian Institution whiclgtep-
resents wildly n of the most extra
ordinary instances of animal life that
have ever come under the observation
Of
It appears hat during a recent win
!er in New Zealand the herders Of the
numerous f1ocks IF sheep in that
try noticed that many Of the animals
were afflicted with wounds in the
back Or loins, sometimes severe and
occasionally SO much SO as to prove
fatal. The cause of these wounds was
d mystery until a shepherd n day
say a kea, or mountain parrot, cling
ing to the wool of a sheep and picking
at q sore on it's flank. A close watch
was instituted and the birds were
again many times caught in the act
of wounding the sheep, the object be-
ing evidently to reach the fat sur
rounding the kidneys. The origin OF
the habit was subsequently revealed.
During summer the keas inhabit the
higher portions Of the mountain dis
riots, and when the severe weather
destroys, or the heavy snows cover
heir supply of food they descend to
over levels where the climate is more
mild and food less scarce. During the
winter referred to they descended low
err than usual, as far, indeed, as the
plains inhabited by the s~heep-raisers,
and finding their natural food scarce
are attracted by the pressed carcasses
of sheep hung upon meat gallows.
Alighting upon these they found the
flesh tt their liking and particularly
the fat surrounding the kidneys.
mo other conclusion seems more
plausible" says a scientist in connec-
ton with the Smithsonian Institution,
than that these birds possessed suf-
icient intelligence to recognize in the
living sheep, the Ire of this food
supply, and therefore, in the absence
of slaughtered meat they avail them
selves of the living bodies. Recent
discoveries in natural history reveal
nothing stranger or more startling
than the change of this parrot from an
originally purely vegetable diet, o
sisting of honey-producing flowers,
fruits and berries, to one of fesh-not
dead flesh merely, but the substance
of living animals. This is, indeed, a
most remarkable instance of acquired
taste"
The group in the museum Of the
Smithsonian Institution represents
faithfully a sheep attacked by two Of
of the keas, or meat-eating parrots.
The latter are mounted upon the vic
TINS back, and engaged in tearing the
flesh with their powerful beaks. The
keas resemble the ordinary type of the
Mexican parrot with the exception
that they are somewhat larger and
their plumage is darker, and variegat-
ed with Observation-Disclosures Times.

would Have Been Elizabeth III.

One of the panegyrists of the queen
said that not even the reign of Eliza
beth exceeded in glory that of Victoria.
The allusion has a significance which
perhaps was not present in the mind OF
the writer. For Elizabeth was the
name which the Duke of Kent chose
for his daughter, and chose it with a
reason. He thought it would ingrati-
ate a girl sovereign with her people,
and that Elizabeth IL. would bear a
strong recommendation as a link with
Elizabeth I. The queens mother, how
ever, disliked the name, and choSe
