When Animals Arc III.

Said a prominent Veterinarian: can
finals when sick are the most helpless
and appreciative Of all creatures, and
the way Of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is as novel
as 1t is effective. The most savage and
revengeful animals during spells of Sc
we're pain are, as rule, as docile and
tractable as child, Relief must come
from a human being, and come quick
~, and they seem to know it. The
most vicious horse when grooming
with pain would allow mere child to
administer relief. and many of the
wild animals when in sickness seem
to forget their savage Instincts"

Tho Greyhound.

Various explanations have been CIV
EN- of the origin Of the term grey
hound, some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Graius,
meaning Greek, others that 1t signifies
great, while still others say that 1t has
reference to the color of the animal,
In no other breed Of hounds is the
blue or gray color SO prevalent, and
