When Mrs. S. was moving about the room he would occasion- ally take her dress skirt in his teeth and shz it playfully like a puppy, 1t the same time giving a low growl. She used to pick him up, hold him in her lap and handle him freely in the same way as one would handle a pet cat. Whenever she put her hand down towards him with one finger ex- | tended, he would ri up and hook ! his teeth zently over her finger to j have her lift him from the flogr. He ; pressed or pinched her finger with his tecth so to hurt in the least and in fact he never bit any person hard enough to leave a mark of anv kind. During the first summer of adoption as one of our pets, he dug a burrow beneath the basement walk from the inside, and afte a time dragged pieces of cloth or rags there- | {in to make himself a bed.

It is the material upon which their success is predicated, and forms the basis for the further upbuilding of the profession and the means for the guldance, enlightenment and re-enforcement of the members who deo- sire to follow in its ways and to engage in its pursuits. It is the light which alone makes an intelligent course possible safe and agreeable. The literature of the undertaking profession, which has grown up within a comparatively few years from very meager beginnings, has bocome of commanding proportions, and testifies to the verity and energy of the forces which have been at work in transforming a menial trade into an enncbling vocation, giving it prestige and prominence among human pursuits.
