A MOUSE STORY.

One time Bub was moving pile of old
rails, and under the last one. among the
soft, dry grass, there was a cozy little
bed, and in it mother-mouse and six
pink babies. They were nesting close
around her warm furry body and eat.
ing their little wee dinner of warm
milk. What were they to do? The
whole roof was torn off from their house
and they were left with the hot sum-
mer sun twnkling in their tender eyes,
and beaming right down upon them! They
were so young and helpless that not one
OF them could walk two steps. Bub hur-
ried to place the rail again and leave them
as comfortable as he found them. But the
mother-mouse not knowing whether he
was friend or foe, in fine squeaking
voice that could hardly be understood by
big gross ears. seemed to say: "Oh, my
beautiful darlings! I will not leave nor
forsake you let US fee for our lives! !!
Take hold OF your mother, dears, and she
will save you" The six little baby mice
understood we'll enough what she said. and
they hurried and opened their mouths and
they took hold just as If they were nurs-
ing, and then the wise mother-mouse start
ed on soft run in the direction Of pile
of stumps that lay near the fence. Bub
stood and watched her, and he said it
touched his heart in the tenderest place, to
see, in the lowest of Gods creatures, the
devotion and beauty and strength of
mothers love. While she was running as
fast as she could with her precious burden
dangling about her feet and legs, one of
the little ones loosened its hold and fell
off. Only for an instant did the mother
mouse pause and look at it, as much as to
say: How unfortunate! I can hardly
manage so many babies! but you, poor
Plushy, must not be left behind; you the
weakest and dearest, and sweetest baby of
ALL" and saying this, she turned and took
it up tenderiy in her mouth, and with her
head up good deal higher, she trotted on
her way and reached the pile of stumps in
safety. My father says he has often seen
mother mice running with their babies
clinging to them in this same way, but he
never knew before Of baby mouse car
ried In the mothers mouth. even In ex-
ira danger.-R. r. in the Adrance.

An Unfortunate Island.

The little island of Niceros i'm the Gre
clan Archipelago is suffering under a
constant supply" If boiling water. Some
months ago, says the Pail Mall Ga-stte,
the inhabitants were seriously annoyed by
series Of earthquakes. which did much
damage, and eliminated in the bursting
open of the summit Of the highest peak i'm
the island. and Hood of steam and boil
Ing water. which AT one time led To the ap-
prehen>ion that not only would the whole
island be destroyed. but every living thing
contained in it. The mountain. however.
suddenly ceased 10 boil over. and il was
hoped that for some years at least there
would be no recurrence of this disagreea-
BILE phenomenon. These hopes were UNI
fortunately dissipated the other day when
the mountain resumed its Objectionable
practices. and emitted such volumes Of
boiling water that the position of the ISL
andcrs has become almost unbearable. To
add TO their discomfort. the ground Is con-
yulsed with earthquakes. AMI nc the date
OF the latest adyices the people had taken
70 the open fields. where they We're safer
than IN their lettering houses. A scarcity
of provisions is added To their other tron-
bles. and without house. without food.
and with the prospect Of being either sea D.
I'd or starved 10 death. the condition of
the good people Of Niceros is at the present
time by no means enviable.
