Tanning a Mailman.

ONE of our city pastors is most ex-
cellent singer. He has a sympathetic
voice. He frequently supplements his
sermons with a song, and the music is
quite as efficient as the appeal He visit
ed madhouse the other day, and was
shown cell in which mailman was
confined. He was one of the most furious
sort. He had to be chained to the floor
to keep him from dashing his brains out
against the sides of his cell. 1t was as
much as ones life was worth to approach
him. He tore his clothes into ribbons,
and his bed was mass of rags. AS the
minister looked through the grating the
prisoner made for him, and with such
violence as to jerk himself back on to the
floor. He rose foaming with rage. "I'll
kill you;" "I'll beat your brains outr'
"Clear out!" Instead of moving, the
preacher began to sing. The hymn he
selected was "Our Home in Heaven"
First the mailman listened, and then he
stretched himself out the full length of
his chain. Tears moistened his eyes.
Then he .coiled up on his bed of rags as
quiet as child And when the HYMN
was ended he looked up, saying, "More,
more" The preacher sang till his
strength gave way, and when he left the
mailman seemed hushed in slumber
The keeper said he had no doubt but it
would have been perfectly safe for the
minister to have gone and sat down by
his side in the cell. 1t was the old case
of Saul and David.-Burleigh's ~. Y. Let

How Wolves Hunt Deer.

LAST Friday Mr.. Turner was going
west on ridge of land covered with
pine, when he saw large deer bounding
along with his tongue out, and running
in the same direction he was travelling.
Pretty soon he heard yelp and saw
large grey wolf upon his track. In mo-
ment more another wolf appeared upon
the scene between him and the first, and
running in line parallel with it. The
deer took turn to the north and north
east around the ridge, keeping in the val
ley all the time. After he turned, the
second wolf, which was not at first upon
the track, but was acting as a hanking
party by line across, struck the track of
the deer thirty rods or so ahead of his
companion, coming in about fifteen rods
behind the deer. When he struck the
track he announced it by single yelp.
Then the first wolf abandoned the track,
and turned himself into thanking party
on the left of the chase, while the second
wolf continued on the track of the wor-
ried deer. The deer finally faced about,
the north, west, south, and east again,
until the first wolf, which all this time kept
his eye on the main chance, by coming
across struck the track ahead of his com.
rade. He in turn announced it by single
yelp, when the other left the track again
and resolved himself into flanking par.
ty In this manner they continued the
pursuit of their prey and disappeared
from his view. How the affair termina
ted is not known. They were all run
ming with tongues out as if they had
been long on the chase. Doubtless
the wolves worried down and devoured
their game.
Who will say, after witnessing such q
scene, that foxes are the only four-footed
wild animals that have cunning and fore
sight.-Cor. Grand Rapids. (M5ch) Eagle

The Poor Rope-Dancer's Exploit.

In the humber classes of society the
most beautiful sparks of virtue often shine
A fire broke out in house in Alencon,
the flames of which made rapid progress
and produced dreadful ravages. An en-.
tire family was saved by an unknown
man, who scaled the walls with wonder
full agility, treading with dexterity the
burning beams, and who, from an abyss
of fire, extricated victim after victim, in
the midst of acclamations from the specta.
tors.
This man was Joseph Plege, who ex-
ercised the humble position of rope.
dancer; and it was the agility and dexter
ity developed by his occupation that en-,
abled him to save the family by venturing
on narrow planks and moving surfaces to
snatch them from the flames.
The company to which Plege belonged
were preparing to leave Alencon, but their
departure was delayed to give him bene-
fit. The theatre was crowded in every
part, and thunders of applause greeted
the courageous rope-dancer, who, covered
with burns and bruises, endeavored to
merit the enthusiasm by which he was
overwhelmed.
When the receipts, which were consid.
cradle, were handed to him, Plege pre-.
sented the whole amount to the family he
had saved. "These poor people," said
he, care ruined what good shall have
done to have saved them from the flames
if leave them to the horrors of starva
ton 90
The authorities gave medal of honor
to the poor man who had displayed SO
much humanity, devotion and virtue.

Sudden Warming.

so A VERY dangerous yet very common
winter practice is that of suddenly warm.
ing when very cold. We frequently read
in the papers of little children falling
down dead on suddenly going to the
heated stove after a long cold walk.
Others are often injured seriously who
have no guess at the true cause of the diff
ficulty. Every intelligent person knows
that frozen limb will become dead flesh
If suddenly warmed. The temperature
must be raised very slowly. The limb
must be put into cold instead of warm
water, or rubbed with snow. When limbs
are half frozen, they cannot resist the in
furious effect of sudden warming Con
( vulsions in children occasionally occur !.
many more are made suddenly faint and
sick without knowing the cause; the eve
sight is often particularly affected, and
people call it "snow blindness All
skin difficulties are greatly aggravated by
sudden warming and sometimes very
painful ones are induced. 1t is generally
thought that chilblains are caused by the
severe cold, but the true cause is sudden
warming after they have been yery cold.
1t seems as if this distressing maladv
were largely on the lncrease-eyen very
little children suffer from it. Too great
care cannot be taken in this matter of
warming cold feet slowly, and by friction
rather than putting them near the fire.
Sudden warming, too, makes the whole
system 50 subject co cold for long time
