What a happy time these children have with their
pony! They take turns riding him, and have a glorious
time. They take great care of him,.and always clean him
very carefully when they get home. They are very fond
of him, and love to pet him and give him sugar, ~..
A MIGHTY HUNTER.
This cat is a great hunter. Every day she goes out
into the woods, and seldom returns without some game.
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.

PUSS AND THE CRAB.
Pussy does not know what to make of the queer-
looking object she is staring at: She never saw anything
like it before, and she is.a little afraid and yet very curious.
Take care, Pussy, or it will seize your tail in its sharp claws,
and then you-will be sorry. — )

LITTLE THIEVES.
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.

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.

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.

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!

DOG MINDING RABBITS.
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. It was a comical
sight to note the grave appearance of the dog as he sat at
the edge of the lawn.

HOW CATS CARRY THEIR KITTENS.
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. .

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!

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.

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.

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,

DOGGIE AND PUSSY.
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.â€
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.

Most dogs do not like cats, and run after them when
they see them. But this dog seems very fond of the
little kitten, and I know he will not hurt it. The kitten
knows that it is quite safe, and does not run away, but
lies there very happily and quietly.

A USEFUL DOG.
This is the picture of a dog that belonged to a noble-
man many years ago. The nobleman dressed the dog as
you see him in-the picture, and trained him to wait on
the table. 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. How sad she looks!

This bird is a pigeon, but is far handsomer than the
common pigeons. 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.

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.

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.

I wonder what this mouse is doing! Perhaps he is
collecting a store of food for the long winter. It is a
wise plan to work in summer, so that he will not have
to starve in winter. I hope he will have enough food to
last him all winter.

A TAME LION.
This lion is tame, and does not hurt the little Arab
boys who are teasing him. 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.

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.

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.

Did you ever see a dog dressed as this one is? He is
a trick dog, and his master has had a suit of clothes made

read.

LYRE-BIRD.
This bird is probably the most beautiful known. It
is called the lyre-bird, because its tail looks like the old
musical instrument of that name. It is very scarce now,
and is seldom seen. I once had the pleasure of seeing one,
and I shall never forget it.

The deer wanted to get the berries: on the tree, but
they could not reach up to 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.

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.

GOOD FRIENDS.
The pony and the lamb are very good friends. Ever
since the death of the lamb’s mother, the pony has watched

stall, and always accompanies him when he is put out in
the pasture, keeping as close to him as possible.
A PATIENT .DONKEY.
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. The donkey is
very patient, and does not mind his load,

GOOD ADVICE.
The dog, the cat, and the hen seem to be talking
very busily. Probably the old hen is giving them good
advice, and telling them not to fight with each other.
Let us hope that they will follow her advice and never
fight again, but always be good friends.
HOW AUSTRALIAN BLACKS KILL SNAKES.
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.

Pussy’s mistress is dead, and has been buried in the
cold ground, but Pussy will not leave the grave. She
lies on it without stirring. She has been there for three
days, and will soon die for want of food; but she would
rather die than leave her mistress’s resting-place.

I hope the monkey will not drop the cat into the

A DOG WHO FOUND SOME MONEY.
This dog has found some money in the hay. 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.

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

whenever a storm comes up, Pussy comes out to Dash’s
kennel to keep him company until it is over.

These parrots seem to be talking very earnestly.
I wonder what they are saying. Perhaps the big parrot
is holding a school and is teaching the others. They all
seem very much interested, and are all talking together.
What a noise they must make!
The poor ape has caught a bad chill and is dying.
His little friend is very careful to keep him well covered

asking pity and help. !

it has horns.

The dogs had almost caught the hare when she reached .

to leap over it, thus losing time. The hare then turned

HOW TO STOP DONKEYS’ BRAYING.
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.

A MIGHTY HUNTER.
This cat is a great hunter. Every day she goes out
into the woods, and seldom returns without some game.
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.

HOW CATS CARRY THEIR KITTENS.
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. .

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!

curling it. The horse seems to enjoy it.

Pussy is very fond of sleeping in the wide sleeve of

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.

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

A USEFUL DOG.
This is the picture of a dog that belonged to a noble-
man many years ago. The nobleman dressed the dog as
you see him in-the picture, and trained him to wait on
the table. 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. How sad she looks!

This bird is a pigeon, but is far handsomer than the
common pigeons. 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.

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.

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.

I wonder what this mouse is doing! Perhaps he is
collecting a store of food for the long winter. It is a
wise plan to work in summer, so that he will not have
to starve in winter. I hope he will have enough food to

A TAME LION.
This lion is tame, and does not hurt the little Arab
boys who are teasing him. 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.

A WELL-DESERVED PUNISHMENT.
This fine horse was attacked by two dogs. See how

HOLDING A SNAKE.
What a big snake, and how brave the man must be

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.

Did you ever see a dog dressed as this one is? He is

LYRE-BIRD.
This bird is probably the most beautiful known. It
is called the lyre-bird, because its tail looks like the old
musical instrument of that name. It is very scarce now,
and is seldom seen. I once had the pleasure of seeing one,
and I shall never forget it.

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

it. However, he is very patient, and he will sueceed

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,

not know how to descend.

HOW TO STOP DONKEYS’ BRAYING.
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.

A NAUGHTY PUPPY.
What a destructive puppy this is! He has torn a
book all to pieces, and also part of a dress. He has a
slipper in his mouth, the toe of which he has already
chewed off. His mistress will be very angry when she
finds out what he has done.

OUR PET RABBIT.
Did you ever see a rabbit with such long ears? He
is called a lop-eared rabbit, because his ears lop over so
much. He isa great pet of ours, and lives in the house.
The cat does not like him, and always humps up her
back and spits at him.

ATTACKED BY A LION.
The fierce lion has knocked the man down and is lying
on him and growling. Luekily some men with guns are
coming, and they will shoot the lion before he has time to
kill the man. But the poor man is probably hurt already,
—he certainly looks as if he were.
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.

THE DEAD BIRD.
Mary’s little pet is dead, and she is very unhappy.
Her brother Frank tries to comfort her, but she will not
be comforted. Poor little girl! she loved her bird very
dearly, and its death has made her very sad; but her father
will get her another little bird.

THE TWO FOXES AND THE WOLF.
_ Two little foxes once caught a hare, and wished to
divide it. So they took it to an old wolf, who cut the hare
in two and put the pieces in a pair of scales. He weighed
the pieces carefully, while the foxes sat watching. Finally
he gave part to each fox. |

DOGGIE’S NARROW ESCAPE.
The monkey has reached down and grabbed the little
dog by the tail. The dog has howled so loud that his mas-
ter has heard, and come to his assistance. He approaches
quite near and shoots the monkey. The monkey drops
the dog, who is terribly frightened, but not hurt.

GOATS KNOCKING AT A DOOR.
The goat and her two kids want to get into the
house, but the door is shut, and they cannot open it. So
they butt at the door, in hopes that some one will come
and let them in. They are very clever, and certainly
deserve to succeed.
THE WOUNDED PIGEON.
This pigeon has been wounded by a hunter, and its
friends have flown to its aid. 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.

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

How would you like to own a little dog like this?
He is a cunning little fellow, and looks as if he was
very playful. He is called “ Monkey,†because he is
always in mischief, and is so cute. He belongs to a
little girl who loves him dearly.
A FOWL WITH WHITE BONNET.
This is the picture of a cock. He is not the kind

He comes from Poland, and is seldom found. ._His head

A BATTLE.
The little animal fighting with the rat is a stoat.
It looks very much like a rat, but is much smaller. It
is much stronger than the rat, and the rat finds it hard
work to defend himself. 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.

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

This bird is carrying a note from some person on one of
those ships to a friend on shore.

A CHINAMAN’S DINNER.
Chinamen eat cats and rats and mice and all sorts
of queer things. 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!â€
THE STORK.
This is certainly a very queer bird. It is called a
stork. It has very long legs, and it often stands on

very tame bird, and is not afraid to come close to a

THE TAME BEAR.
The poor bear is hungry, and his master is feeding
him through his muzzle. The man is not afraid of the
bear, but if he should get angry, he could tear the man
to pieces with his sharp claws. The bear is fastened by
a chain, so he will not run away.
OUR ROBIN FRIEND. ». -
We have a pet Robin whom we call Bobby. We
tamed him by throwing crumbs to him. He soon got so
that he would fly in through the open window, and hop
around the room without fear. He seemed to take great
pleasure in sitting on the inkstand.
A FAITHFUL DOG.
This dog has been told to take care of the parcel
until his master returns. He is tired of lying still, and
wonders why his master does not come back. Cheer up,
old fellow; he will be there in a few moments, and you
will get a nice dinner for your patience.

I wonder what this jaguar is looking at! Perhaps
it sees a deer or some other animal, and it is going to
jump down on it and kill it for its dinner. Jaguars are

PELICANS.
These birds are pelicans. They live by the sea, and
eat fish, which they catch with their bills. The strangest
thing about these birds is the pouch of skin attached to
their bills. When a bird has caught more fish than he
wants, he puts them in this pouch.

He knows that they will kill him, but he will fight to the

ENCOUNTER WITH A TIGER.
The hunters have come upon a tiger. The tiger is

one blow of his paw he can kill a man, and he is as

The monkey has got hold of a ball, and does not

What a queer-lookine monkey! See his long nose!
It looks like a sweet potato. He has a white beard like
an old man, and the hair on his head seems to be eare-
fully brushed back. He is grinning at the little darkey,
and looks as if he understands every word.
LION AND SPARROW.
The little sparrow does not seem at all afraid of
the lion, but is busily picking up crumbs. 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

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

What a noble dog! His little mistress has fallen

courage and generous devotion: which put us to shame.
THE LONE FOX.
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.
