. Our domestic animals, their habits, intelligence and usefulness; tr. from the French of Gos. De Voogt, by Katharine P. Wormeley;. Domestic animals. white of egg for the sick baby, no fresh-boiled egg for the debilitated okl man! liens in tlie poultry yard and eggs on the table, such is the true ordei' of things ; so the |"K)iiltry yard, as well as the hens and the cocks, is ])art of the homestead. Besides these there are many bii'ds li\'ing about our dwell- ings which, though not actually domestic under all as|)ects, are ne\'erthe- less tame. Swans and ducks, turkeys and geese, are rather nearer to us than pigeons and canai'ies, but they all come under the head of domestic animals. The canary, especially the one that puts a little gayety into the dull home of the workingman, is a domes- tic animal we should regret to be without ; also those handsome, many-colored birds in our a\'iaries which herald the dawn with their warblings and disperse our waking cares. Thus domestic animals deserve attention. We very often see pretty traits in their charac- ter which, unfortunately, we do not remember. Digitized by IVIicrosoft®.
