will be a hodge-podge of qualities not harmonious. The treatise 
is pleasantly written, and, though not properly a scientific work, 
is still valuable for, if we may be pardoned the phrase, its good 
horse sense, and we take pleasure in commending it to the notice 
of those engaged in rearing horses in this country.— Science. 
The Management of Stray Dogs. —The Lancet commends 
a London institution known as the Temporary Home for Lost and 
Starving Dogs. Owing to the present prevalence of hydrophobia 
in London, there has lately been a great increase in the number 
of stray dogs cared for by the institution, for they are brought to 
its doors by the police. As many as nine hundred were received 
in the course of six days. Our contemporary points out a con¬ 
spicuous service to humanity rendered by the home, in addition 
to the benefit to the dogs—that, namely, of keeping sick animals 
under watch until it can be determined positively whether they 
are or are not affected with rabies. If London, in the face of 
almost an epidemic of hydrophobia, can afford to be so humane 
to vagrant dogs, what excuse is there for our annual period of 
legalized brigandage, when the chief occupation of a set of mis¬ 
creants termed dog-catchers is to steal or forcibly capture animals 
that are in no sense vagrant, merely that they may exact ran¬ 
soms?
