In a paper entitled "Canine Guests," Philip Gilbert Hamerton gives an account of the trained dojjs of M. du Rouil which, but for the unimpeachable veracity of the writer, would be almost incredible. M. du Rouil began to educate his first dog out of curiosity to see the effect of the sort of education which seemed to him best adapted for establishing a close under- standing between the human and canine minds ; the results astonished himself and were so grat- ifying that he subsequently educated two others on the same principles. Two of these dogs, " Blanche " and " Lyda," with their master, were guests of Mr. Hamerton, and the intelligence they exhibited, and which he describes, is, by his own admission, " incredible," yet may be so only because of our ignorance of the nature and extent of the mental powers belonging to the animal creation. Among the many feats per- formed by them were the spelling of words by lettered cards; the correction of words pur- posely misspelled; the working out of simple problems in arithmetic and the playing of cards.
