CAT AND BEDGF.HOG.
A photograph is being taken this week of the queerest animal friendship that ever I heard of. The scene is a house in the same street where the Spertalor is published. Sonic while ago a hedgehog was found in Epping Forest and con- veyed to this very urban garden. Its native friendline•;s of character seemed to be developed by the change. It has ma fears, sits up to receive its bread and milk, and on oceasi;,i) strolls about the house when tired of the garden. It has invaded a bedroom and demanded that a congenial ward rAc be opened. Its chief friendship is with the eat, the only other four-legged inmate ; the friendship is mutual, and is expressed by the cat by the act of occasionally licking the hedgehog's nose. The photograph will illustrate the two animals taking a stroll together round the garden in the cant of a July. evening !
