She Remembered the Cure.
Mr. N. B. Vesey, living in Durant, Miss., has an old black-and-tan terrier, named Tricksey, of which the following singular Incidents are related: It happened that early In her puppy dog state Tricksy suffered froin a serious attack of the mange which baffled for a long time all efforts for Its relief. At last a young negro boy on the place said that he could cure Tricksy by clipping off the tips of the dog’s ears and tail, which resulted efficaciously. It would appear that the dog never forgot the remedy which proved such a boon in her case, for since then every time she gives birth to a litter of pups almost her first attention to the young offspring is to bite off the tips of each one’s ears and tall. Not one of them was ever known to suffer from the mange.—Philadelphia Timea
