DWARFED PUPPIES.

THIS is how diminutive dogs are produced in Paris: Snatched from its mother's breast when it is but a few hours' old, the puppy is put on an alcoholic diet instead of a purely milk diet. When it reaches a certain age, alcohol, under different forms, is poured in profusely. The young dogs do not die, but, what is far more important, they do not develop. They soon cease to grow. By coupling these products, the lilliputian animal is obtained after two or three generations. The children of men are often deprived of their proper size in the same manner, tho without the same design. Suckled on alcoholic milk, and dosed afterwards with gin or with frequent sips of beer from parents' jugs on the way from the public house, they never attain their proper height.—Exchange.
