Although a black cat is considered lucky, it is a certain forerunner of disaster to the burg lar, and householders who suddenly find their black cats poisoned may take it as a warning that the robbery of their domain has been decided upon, for criminals take care to destroy their dumb enemies before paying a midnight call. Dogs, on the contrary, they fear but little, however savage they may be, because they take care to carry in their pockets pieces of meat sprinkled with strychnine or some [526ather virulent poison a certain cure for ferocity,
