In the canine cometery at Hartsdale, Now York State, where aristocrats of dogdom are buried, is a mausoleum of granite that cost £2600 (says the "Central News"). It is there that Snowball, a prince of poodles and "star" in many theatrical ventures, and in Hollywood film studios, was buried recently in a casket of pine. Snowball's remains rest in a little plot on the side of a windswept hill, his grave banked with pansies and roses. With him are 3000 other dogs, together with a goodly number of cats, a lion, a pet' hen, three white ducks, and a\horse. There are buried Mini and Nanette, whose mistress, Evelyn Nesbit Thew, was once a cynosure of, thousands of eyes. A beautiful marble headstone, with the inscription, "In' memory of my beloved griffons," tells the' world of their mistress's grief, fliero He four clogs and a monkey owned by Mrs. Irene Castle Treman, the dancer. In I the same grave rest the early remains of Eastus—"the smartest, most iovablo monkey that ever lived," according to the inscription. On the highest part of the hill, overlooking the valley, is the gigantic mausoleum erected to Sally and Toodles by Mrs. M. F. Walsh, the widow of a Mount Vernon real estate dealer. The epitaph, written : in immense letters across the top, reads: "My dear little, true, loving hearts who would lick the hand that had no food to feed." This imposing mausoleum was constructed of fifty tons of Vermont granite, and the big vault ia ten feet I deep. J
