Dogs and Poreupines.

No matter how many lessons a dog
has received. it is a popularity long
noted that it will attack porcupine
every time it is met. A setter or pointer
after partridges. just as half or full
blooded hound after deer. will throw
himself on porcupine every time it is
seen and Immediately set up the same
familiar howl of dismay. When cor
nered the porcupine rolls. up into u
ball. hiding legs. head and belly and
presenting nothing except an animated
cactus. 1t has the faculty of loosen
ing its hold on the quilts, which are
imbedded in pores in its skin. and
they come off and stick to another OBJ
ject at the slightest touch. In fact.
so quick Is the attack of the dog and
so rapidly does he retreat. bowling.
with muzzle and breast covered with
the spines. that many say the hedge
hog can throw it's quilts, but this is
nonsense.-Exchange.
