WONDERFUL CATS AND DOGS.

Jack is a little white terrier with black ears, and he is very' fond of his mistress. He is allowed to eat by her side during dinner, and when everybody else is finished a special plate of food is taken out to his kennel tdr him. One day he was in to dinner Lefore anyone else, and directly he saw his mistress he jumped up on her chair and laid a fine big 1 bone on her empty plate while he wagged his stumpy tail with joy. He had saved that bone from breakfast for his mistress. Wasn't it kind of him? Pussy's Medal. There is a very proud cat at Brighton, England. One night, her mistress had just gone upstairs to bed when she heard pussy scratch at her door. She sent her downslairs, but a second and a third time the cat came back. Thinking something must be wrong, the mistress ran downstairs, and found the kitchen on fire. Pussy now wears a medal given her by the firemen of Brighton. Kitty Understood. A beautiful black Persian kitten 1 & once caught a baby sparrow and scat* tered the feathers all over the mat. The cook was very cross, and coki the kitten that it was to put the feathers under the mat next time. Two weeks afterwards the kitten caught another poor little sparrow, but it must hava remembered the cook's scolding. Before it took off the feathers it turned the mat over with its claws. Wasn't that wonderful? Snowball and the Chick*. Snowball first lived with her mother in a barn, and in the same place a hen brought up her family of yellow chicks. After that Snowball would always guard the chickpns, and would drive off any strange cat that came near them. One day the mother hen was killed by a fox, and her poor little chicks were left without anyone to care for them. Bnowball seemed to know that, and, to everybody's astonishment, was seen to carry her own dinner down for them to eat, while at night the yellow ball 3 of fluff would gather round her and nestle in her warm fur. Gyp's Penny. Every day Gyp's master gave hira a penny to go to the baker's and buy a cake. One day, however, Gyp only received a halfpenny. Of course, the baker would not give him a cake. Gyp could not understand; he came sadly out of the shop and never again would he'enter it.
