To-day she has killed a rabbit, and finds great difficulty in carrying it home, as it is almost as big as she is. Smart pussy! you deserve to be well rewarded. A PET TIGER. « This is a young tiger named Tom. His master is keeping him quiet while his picture is being taken so that Ican show him to you. He is a very smart little fellow, and is very affectionate. He is still so young that he is fed.on milk from a bottle. GOING TO CHURCH. ‘The donkey wants to get into the church, but the old beadle will not let her. See how the donkey pricks up her ears as if to ask him why he will not let her in. She thinks that because he let her master in he should let her in also. ASKING FOR AID. ‘Fhe lion has a splinter in his paw, and he has come to the man and wishes him to take it out. The man is terribly frightened, but soon he will take courage and remove the splinter. Then the lion will leave the man unhurt and go bounding off over the desert. A LOT OF DOGS. What a lot of dogs! They all have numbers on their collars so that their master can tell them apart. Their master is very fond of them, and treats’ them very kindly. ‘They have plenty to eat and a nice house to sleep in, so they are very happy.

Sparrows and mice lead a happy life in the Zoo. No matter how severe the winter, they can always find food in the dishes of the queer animals and birds that live in the Zoo. In the picture they are stealing the food of some geese, who will have to go hungry. WANA HG Sa Ay HW Wy i Fritz is a very handsome grey cat. He is the pet of my little sister, and is a very important member of the family. Every morning he comes to my sister’s room, and she ties a fresh blue ribbon about his neck. This done, he trots happily off to his breakfast. WS SIM SSS SAGACIOUS COWS. It is a very hot day, and the cows are very thirsty. So they have marched in a body to the place where there is a large tub of water. One of them is just about to drink. See how patiently the others are waiting for their turn at the cool water. \ af cb ? \ \ \. ), ) A So iS Ws : CF OSS SSS UT SS GZ Si THE FAITHFUL DOG. Faithful dog! His master has just died and been buried, but he will not leave his grave. The snow has fallen and covered the grave with a soft white mantle, but still the loving creature remains lying across the grave. What an example of love and devotion he sets us!

A friend of mine had a dog that was trained to mind some tame rabbits put to feed on the lawn, and prevent them from running into the shrubbery.

Cats cannot carry their kittens in their arms, for they have no arms, so they carry them in their mouths. They seize them by the loose skin on the back, and do not hurt them at all. This cat is carrying her kittens one at a time back to the barn. . L WZ Se THE LION. What a noble-looking animal the lion is, and yet how fierce and cruel! Are you not glad that there are no lions where you live? I am sure that if there were lions here I should be very much afraid, and would not dare to go out of the house. THE HORSE AND THE BULL. I wonder where the man is going on the horse. He must be in a great hurry, for the horse is running very fast. I guess the bull looking at the horse is glad that no man ever gets on his back and rides him. But men never ride on bulls. SWALLOWS. These swallows are building their nest. They have chosen a nice place for it. Nobody will be able to get at it, it is so high up; and the little birds will be quite safe. How happy the birds will be when they have their little home all made! RX yy Bl x | A HORSE WITH A MOUSTACHE. Did you ever see a horse with a moustache? All horses have some hair on their lip, and some have a great deal. This horse has a thick moustache, which his master is very proud of. You can see him in the picture carefully curling it. The horse seems to enjoy it. al A QUEER SLEEPING—PLACE. Pussy is very fond of sleeping in the wide sleeve of her master’s robe. Her master is very fond of her. One day he wished to go out, and rather than disturb his pet, he cut off the sleeve of his gown, and left the cat peace- fully sleeping in it. RUF é i Z ps NN § w ull ‘S Ss 4 Z A’ Sa ( 1s 7 att XA be Z Vy b= Uy c “ 5 Vv Ze y oo ZZ eB A GOOD HORSE. The poor man has fallen from his horse. His foot has caught in the stirrup;, and if the horse should start to run, he would be dragged along the ground and badly hurt. But the horse stands perfectly still, and tries to help his master by tugging at his coat. A TAME TIGER. This man is a native of India. He has a full-grown tiger for a pet. It is very gentle, and greatly attached to its master. The man caught it when it was very young, and has taught it that it is wrong to kill people, or to frighten them. A HAPPY FAMILY. How happy the cat looks as she watches her kittens! The kittens seem to be having a very good time. They appear to be very playful and very pretty. Don’t you wish you had a nice little kitten like one of these? But perhaps you already have a kitten, 4 ’ Uf ye : iy Pi Uy YH iif Lo a Ly Li Y, : i; My if iy Uy cB YY, WI) LY) lf f if i My Li YY iy y y i Uf i i y Yl ]} WY) Vi WWM yy .

I wonder whether the cat and dog are playing, or whether they are fighting. I am afraid that they are fighting, for the cat seems to be scratching the dog. Well, I hope she will not hurt him, but will leave him alone. He is very good not to get angry. “LET HER SLEEP.” The cat is asleep, and the parrot has left his perch and is looking at her. They are very good friends, and he wants her to wake up and play ‘with him. The cat seems very tired, and I hope the parrot will let her sleep as long as she wants. — THIEVING CROWS. This little dog is very angry because the crows have stolen some of his dinner. The crows are flying away with the food in their beaks. The dog has scared them away, and has put his paw on the plate to guard it. I hope the crows will not come back. é ZS Nh i h\ i \ = SS — ——_ = SS HN} \\) Ny Nt NY MN 4 fl \ K 5 SSS FZ N N i AINA \ y FAST FRIENDS.

The dog would hold the tray in. his mouth and pass his master a glass of wine. THE DEAD PUPPY. This dog had three puppies, but one of them died. The dog was very sad, but she took the little dead puppy in her mouth, and carried it into the garden. She is now digging a hole in which she is going to bury the little one.

He is called the fan-tail pigeon be- | cause when he spreads out his tail it looks very much like a fan. I have some of these pigeons. I have had them for years, and am very fond of them. MY DOGS. This is the picture of my two dogs, Maggie and Flossie. Kvery day when I go for a walk, the dogs insist on going with me. Sometimes they walk along quietly by my side, but more often they run races across the fields, coming back to me every few minutes. SS SS, THE SHETLAND PONY. Did you ever see such a tiny little pony as this? And yet they are very common in a certain part of the world. They are called Shetland ponies. Just think of a pony so small that a man can carry it in his arms! The pony in the picture is very cute. SS } ANN YN VANS HAHA Ae ( HN Na SSS —— == SS A LOST DOG. This poor dog seems to be in great trouble. Perhaps he is lost, and is. trying by barking to bring some one to him. Let us hope that his master will hear him and come for him. If I was the master I would not rest until I had found him. These little children have. found a bear in the woods. They are not at all afraid of him, but are playing with him. One is giving him an apple, while the other has climbed on his back. Their parents are very much frightened, but the bear does not hurt the children. Hen i y Za ay A AY) \\ AN AN IX) WN " AVN \\ Wl aN NN I wonder what this mouse is doing! Perhaps he is collecting a store of food for the long winter.

He wants to go to sleep, but one boy is pulling his tail, and another is poking a stick in his ear. Why don’t the boys go away, and leave the old fellow in peace ? OUR DOG BEVIS. We have a dog named Bevis. When she wants to get into the house she rises on her hind legs and presses down the latch with her paws. Is not she a very clever dog to be able to open a door all by herself? We are very proud of her. TRUE TO HIS TRUST. What a fine-looking dog this is! His master has told him to guard a leg of mutton, and he will allow no one to touch it. He is true to his trust. Little children should learn to be as obedient as this noble dog, and then their mothers would be very happy. THE SPARROW. This sparrow is perched on a barrel, and seems to be thinking deeply. I wonder what he is thinking about. Perhaps he is wondering where he can find something to eat. Poor little fellow,—his meals do not come regularly as yours do, nor does he always have enough to eat. A WISE OLD RAT. Somebody has set a trap in front of this rat’s hole, so that her little ones cannot come out without being caught. But the old rat is very smart. She has made a bridge of her body across the dangerous trap, and the little ones scramble safely over her back. Yj Wi Wi S== : SSS — A WELL-DESERVED PUNISHMENT. This fine horse was attacked by two dogs. See how he has grabbed one of them and is shaking him. It serves the dog right for attacking the horse. I hope the horse will shake the other dog too. Iam always glad when a mean or cruel deed is well punished. ZY TE My, HOLDING A SNAKE. What a big snake, and how brave the man must be to hold it as he is doing! He is squeezing it so hard that it is forced to open its mouth. If the man should let go, the snake would bite him, and he would die in a few minutes. fas RS Uy Vijiyfly ke %, Uy i, fj, lm , Me PP Y Mui 4, li % 4 THEM.

So one of them is jumping up and knocking the berries down with his horns. It is very clever of him to do this, and he deserves to get a good meal for his trouble. TH CAMEL. This is the picture of a camel. They are very queer- looking animals, and have humps of flabby flesh on their backs. This one has two humps, but some of them have only one. They can go for a long time without water, and with very little food, and are very strong. PERSEVERANCE. This mouse has found a bone, and is trying to drag it into his hole. He is tugging away at it; but the bone is large and the mouse is small, and he can scarcely move it. However, he is very patient, and he will sueceed at last. type YZ YZ LY, Gp ZZ ZI LA, \\ = A GOOD HIDING—PLACE. This dog is trying to creep under the bed-clothes. He has a bundle tied around his body. Some men want to take it away from him, and the clever fellow is hiding Instinct tells him that they will not look for from them. him in the bed, so he hides there. THE SCHIPPERKE. This is a very queer dog. His name is a long one, and very hard to pronounce. It is “Schipperke.” He comes from Belgium, and the strangest thing about him is that he has no tail, not even a sign of one! Think of a dog without a tail! SSS N (i yy. ! XX SN SSSSSjss LB THE BOAR-HOUND. This is the picture of a boar-hound. They are very large and strong and brave, and are used for hunting large game, especially wild boars. These dogs, although very fierce-looking, are really very gentle and affectionate, and always devotedly attached to their masters. eZ \ \ \\" ) i THE BOY AND THE TIGER. This little boy lives in India. He was going one evening to get some water at the spring, when something seized his coat from behind. It was a huge tiger that wanted to make a meal of him. Luckily there were some men near, who frightened the tiger away. A CLEVER MONKEY. The little girl approached too near to the monkey, and the mischievous little fellow knocked her hat off See how surprised the little girl looks, and how amused the monkey appears. He has a broad erin on his face, and he seems to think that he has done something very clever. A LITTLE GIRL AND HER PRTS. The little girl is very fond of pets. She has a parrot on each shoulder, a love-bird in her hand, and a dog and a monkey at her feet. The dog is resting his head on his paws and sleepily watching the monkey, who is devouring a slice of bread. PUSS IN A FIX, Puss has climbed up to the top ‘of a high tower, and dloes not know how to get down. She is mewing pitifully, as if begging some one to come and take her down. It is strange that cats can climb to places from which they do not know how to descend. ——~ = ZE= 2 e\\ \\\\) SX SS KS WA SN Wn \ ZA \ AN NY WN y AY ff), ‘ \ NY KW \\ AMY Nh WHT) ANA N \ ANI RH WN iM Ml!)

What a merry time these boys are having on their donkey! All four have clambered on his back, and are trying to stay on by holding on to each other. One of them, however, seems to be slipping off.

What a queer way of killing a snake, and what a brave man to risk being bitten! He does not seem at all afraid, but seems to enjoy it all. He has his stick all ready in case the snake should get out from under his foot. ihe i ' ‘i f ee 4 H) aan X 4 fe ee A if Mi PM The wl i nial unk 4 vit 1 y | ith itll AS eit i“ bi ws, ue 2 a CATS LOVE.

He is looking at it, but does not know what to do with it. If it were bread or meat, he could eat it: but one can- not eat money. If he were smart, he would take it to the butcher and buy meat. Za '/ fu Hy] WW WH ( Nh A MOUSE AND HER BABIES.. What a queer place this mouse has chosen, for her . . . . . ® nest! It is an old tin basin that is lying among the cabbages. She is carrying one of her babies away. Perhaps she thinks her home is not safe, and is going to carry all her babies to some other place. How quick the birds are gathering! I wonder what they are coming for. They seem to be eating some- thing. Perhaps the farmer has been sowing corn, and, now that he has gone to his dinner, the birds are scratching it up. He will have to sow again. _ \ _ DASH AND HIS FRIEND. Dash and Pussy are very good friends, and Pussy spends a good deal of her time in the kennel with Dash. Dash is always afraid of thunder-storms; and so whenever a storm comes up, Pussy comes out to Dash’s kennel to keep him company until it is over. a SS SS SS —— ss Se THE JAGUAR. You probably think this is a pretty little cat, but it is not. It is much larger than a cat, and is very. strong and fierce. It is called a jaguar. The man heard it coming, and jumped into the chest.

The poor ape has caught a bad chill and is dying. His little friend is very careful to keep him well covered up in his blanket. Poor fellow! his ugly face is very pathetic, and his eyes are looking straight at you, as if asking pity and help. ! - THE STAG—BEETLE. The man was just going to eat his dinner, when he saw that horrid bug on the wall. What an ugly-looking thing it is! Ido not wonder that he is frightened, and is afraid it will bite him.

These monkeys have stolen some instruments from a band, and are trying to play on them. Some hold them one way, some another. They are making a terrific noise, but of course cannot play in tune.

Chinamen have hit upon a queer way to keep donkeys from braying. It is a well-known fact that when donkeys bray they raise their tails; so the Chinamen tie large stones to the donkeys’ tails, and thus they are unable to bray. Chinamen are very smart in some things. . \ \\\\ and somet A TROUBLESOME PET Monkeys ar Imes very a bowl of and much w 9 1eVvous h fellow tumbled e e very misc to Mm ttle hi is ith . “Phi some trouble treacle th seemed to e ing ash monkey culty di eat emoved the gt SW -It wa . e hu ff.

AN ASTONISHED MONKEY. Pussy and the monkey have quarrelled, and pussy has just given him a box on the ear. The monkey is so aston- ished that he can do nothing but put his paw to his ear and cry. Pussy has her claws out, and is all ready to scratch him if he attacks her. A THE DEAD BIRD. Mary’s little pet is dead, and she is very unhappy.

They have taken its wing's in their beaks, and are trying to fly off with it. I hope they will succeed, as they deserve to do so, and it would be a pity if they failed. # POLLY PLAYING A TRICK ON PUSS. Polly takes great delight in teasing the cat. To-day she was worse than ever. She waited until the cat was right under her stand, and then seized her food-dish, and tipped its contents over the cat. Pussy ran away, very much startled and a little frightened. LION MOURNING OVER — HIS MATE. Lions are usually very affectionate towards their mates. This one is standing beside the dead body of his mate, and roaring, as if to tell all the animals that his faithful mate is dead. It must be a solemn thing to hear in the dead of night the sullen roar of a lion. Hi bi Wea KG i \G W NG oz en Fy i BEAR-CHILDREN.

The big black kitten is sulky to-day, and will not play, in spite of the coaxing of his pretty little companion, who rubs up against him, and does everything in her power to put him in good humor. See how sullen he looks! I wonder what is the trouble? A CHOP IN DANGER. Naughty Pussy! Nobody is in the room, and she has climbed upon the table and is eating the chop cooked for her master’s breakfast. When he comes downstairs he will find no breakfast. Hark! he is coming!

He is not the kind of a cock that you see near the barn with the hens.

They are angry at the owl for having taken possession of their box. So they are walling up the opening of the box. They are going to punish the owl for stealing their home.

I hope they will not hurt each other, but will stop fighting soon. How surprised and frightened the little monkey looks! He has taken off his master’s wig while his master slept. He has never seen a bald head before, and he is greatly startled. Monkeys are very curious, and always wish to examine everything. ee SSS A CARRIER-PIGEON. How swiftly the bird is flying! It is a pigeon, and it has a note fastened around its neck. It is called a carrier-pigeon because it carries notes from place to place.

This Chinaman has bought a cat at the market, aud is taking it home for his dinner. He is pointing at it and laughing, as much as to say, “See what a fine dinner I am going to have!” THE STORK. This is certainly a very queer bird. It is called a stork. It has very long legs, and it often stands on one and tucks the other up against its body. It is a very tame bird, and is not afraid to come close to a person. ae | gr AU WANE Lu) i" I This man is shooting at some birds.

The lion watches him with a sad look. He is thinking of his life before he was captured, when he was as free and happy as the little bird which now shares his food. Ya. FIGHT BETWEEN A RAT AND A COBRA. The poor rat has no chance against the huge cobra, but he is fighting desperately. Soon the snake will have killed him, but not before he has bitten the snake several times. A rat will always fight fiercely if attacked, and uses his sharp teeth and claws to defend himself. A PATIENT CAT. Pussy is watching for a mouse. Her eyes are fixed on the hole in the floor. But the mice are too smart for her, and stay in their holes when she is around. I am afraid poor pussy will watch in vain, unless some foolish little mouse ventures from his hole. x li Pay) LS tha HORSE-FACED PEOPLE. What queer-looking people!

The lady seems very fond of her monkey, and has dressed him up in fine clothes, and put a plumed hat on his head.

These two foxes were chained side by side, but one of them has broken his collar, and is escaping. The other looks sorrowfully after him, and wishes sadly that he too were free. It is a cruel thing to confine animals used to freedom,—they usually die when captives. A GENEROUS DOG. The bull-dog has more than he can eat, so he has buried some bones, but finding a half-starved little dog, he has brought him to the spot where the bones are hidden. See with what eagerness the one is digging up the bones, while the other watches with quiet satisfaction. SS = SAFE FROM THE DOGS.
