FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Feb. 11, 1886. 



of the whelps. Ballard shot her. She was an unuusally large 

 one, and as no more raids were made on the sheep pastures 

 of the region it was believed that she was the one that gave 

 them so much trouble. The whelps grew up in captivity. 

 They were both females. In 1824 Ballard sold one of them, 

 The next year the other one was bred to a mongrel dog. She 

 gave birth to a litter of whelps resembling their mother. 

 After becoming a mother the wolf, which had never been 

 fierce, changed to a most ferocious animal, and no one dared 

 to go near her. Her offspring early developed wild and vicious 

 characteristics and it was thought best to kill the whole 

 family. One night before the decision was carried into eflect 

 the wolf and her half-grown hybrid whelps took to the woods. 

 They were followed, and the mother and one or two of the 

 young ones were killed. The others escaped and have bred 

 among the rocks ever since. — Exchange. 



A young lady whose fattier is one of the wealthy men of 

 the city, went abroad last summer in company with two rela- 

 tives. They sailed from this port and returned hither. Tliey 

 allowed their general baggage to be inspected without pro- 

 test. The young lady carried a diminutive pug dog in her 



arms. The animal was particularly ill-natured and vicious, 

 but the young lady appeared to be very fond of the brute and 

 carried him in her arms all the time. 'He wore a blanket and 

 a collar around his neck. I got close enough to see that the 

 blanket was a mass of expensive lace, tacked on to the blan- 

 ket to enable her to evade duty on it, and that the collar was 

 literally studded with diamonds. What could we do? If we 

 held the dog there would have been a great howl over the in- 

 dignity, and the girl's father had influence enough to have us 

 all discharged. We consequently allowed the $10 pug with 

 his $2,000 blanket and his $10,000 collar, to pass free of duty.—

"I hear of a woman of fashion." says London Truth, "who 

 has ordered a dress to be trimmed with canaries. It would 

 be well if the crack-brained votaries of such detestable inno- 

 vations were to be boycotted in society. If any woman tries 

 the experiment of going to court ornamented with singing 

 birds, I will venture to predict that she will be ignominiously 

 turned back, as the Queen strongly objects to all such bar- 

 barities." — Evening Post.
