. Our domestic animals, their habits, intelligence and usefulness; tr. from the French of Gos. De Voogt, by Katharine P. Wormeley;. Domestic animals. THE DOG 21 dogs, little pages of the p— boudoir, and graceful ornaments among the furniture. One thing, however, is to be regret- ted : they are all melan- choly, especially the King Charles spaniel, who is, they say, still grieving for the death of Charles I.

The typical ex- pression of his face betrays at once a liking for sociability and also extreme curiosity. Whether a pug be yellow or apricot color, the black line on his back must be clearly visible, and his black ears and mask must make sharp contrast to his body.
