A Young Heroine,

The Houston (Texas) Telegraph says ::
One morning recently u man and wife
who live about nine miles east OF Willis,
left home on business, leaving the house
i'll charge Of their eldest child, about
twelve years OF age. Toward noon the
girl heard the infant, aged fourteen
months, who had been laid wlilc asleep
on bed in an adjoining room, utter II
horrid screech, upon which she immc.
diately ran to its relief, and imagine her
feeling, upon opening the door, to Zee Il
huge panther with the babe in its mouth
leaping from an open window iMme.
diately over the bed But she, like n
true heroine, sprung upon the bed and
then ont Of the window, screaming at
the height of her voice, and, upon being
joined by the other child about the
house, pursued the panther at her utmost
speed. They followed about forty rolls
to pair Of bars which separated the
clearing from the forest, at which place
the girl states that she approached to
within fifteen or twenty feet OF the pan
ther, when it relinquishel its hold OF
the child, leaped the bars and made its
way to the woods. The infant was
picked up, much struggled from its
rapid movement through the grass md
sand, which filed its mouth and eyes,
but soon recovered and is now well, save
few scratches about its body, which
have tue appearance Of having been
made by the pauthcr's teeth. These
marks are very plain, and there are sey.
enl blood blisters where the teeth in
slipping came ir contact. The girl states
that the panther dropped the child once
before arriving at the fence, mud it is
supposed the giving why OF the clothing
was the cause, MS it was much torn.
We obtained the foregoing particulars
from gentleman living in Willis. Too
much praise cannot bc bestowed on the
brave girl who saved the child's life.

4 Scene frOEl Life.

OF all the terrible curses that have de.
stroyed humanity, intcmpcrnncO is the
most fearful. A young man entered the
barroom Of village tavern and called
for drink. "No," said the landlord,
lyon have had delirium trcmenS once,
and I cannot sell you any more"
He stepped aside to make room for IL
couple OF young men who had inst eli.
tered, aud tho landlord waited upon
them very politely. The other stood
by, silent aud snll0n, and when they had
finished he walked up to the landlord
and thus addressed him:
"Six years ago, at their ngc, | stood
where those young men art nOw-I was
4 man with fair prospects. Now, at the
age OF twenty-eight, l am wreck, body
and mind. You led mo to drink. III
this room I formed the habit that has
been my ruin. Now sell me few glass
cs more, and your work will be done I
shall soon be ont Of tho way there isno
hope for me. But they can DO saved.
Do not soil it to them. Sell to mo and
let mo die, and tho world will be rid OF
me but for Hcavcn's sake sell no moro
to them"
The landlord listened, pale and trem.
bling. Setting down his decantcr, he
exclaimed:
"God help me! this is tho last drop
! will ever sell to any one !"
And ho kept his word.

The Modern House.

The nineteenth century house, says
Popular Science Monthly, has no spe'
cial provision for the admission Of fresh
mir, and, except in warm weather, its
entrance is jealousy prevented. Vcnti'
latiop is change Of air, and, unless
scientifically arranged, aud especially
warmed i'll cold weather, such change Of
atmosphere means cold currents with
their attendant train Of colds, catarrh,
bronchitis, neuralgia, rheumatism, ca'
and the evils that spring from
them. Again, perfect ventilation means
the realization, III n great measure, OF
the condition Of the mir ont OF doors
and few persons, probably, have esti'
mated the enormous flow OF mir requisite
to effect this. The ordinary notion is,
that the proper renewal OF the mir in q
room ought to be measured by the
quantity passed through the lungs of m
individual in any given time. But an
ounce Of poison may vitiate gallon OF
water, aud nothing short Of the removal
and renovation Of the whole of the taint'
ed portion, as fast rs it becomes tainted,
can insure perfect sslubrity. DR.. Dal.
ton estimated the average respiration Of
u man to be twenty-iour cnbic inches,
and the average number per minute to
be twenty; consequently four hundred
cubic feet pass through the lungs OF III
ordinary man in twenty.four hours,
while the fallacy to which We have nj
luded assumes TINT supply OF four
hundred cubic feet in the room in
tweuty-four hours iusures sufficient ven
tilation. Certainly, if any one would
draw breath out OF one bag, and dis.
charge the tainted mir from his lungs
into another, he would always breathe
good air. But it is calculated that n
man will taint and render unwholesonle
by mixture 1850 cubic feet Of mir in
the twenty-for hours for every respi'
ration not only robs the imbibedtwenty.
four cubic inches OF certain portisn Of
its oxygen, but it has mixed with it Il
quantity of carbonic ncid gas and SOME
vapor; and theoretically, ut least, the
second respiration, drawn from room
in which tho air is stagnRnt, begins the
process OF blood poisoning.

The Book OF Thanks.

Young folks arc often encouraged to
keep q diary. Little harm and some
good may como OF the practice, pro
vided the diary is made an honest record
OF deeds done, places visited. books
read, studies pursued, and Of thoughts
suggested by reading and observation.
But there arc two "shall nots which
should govern the practice. One is that
tho diary shall not contain affectations
OF sentiment. The second is TINT tile
diary shall not be shown. The one will
make you sincere. the other will train
you to honesty. But better practice,
rs it seems TO US, is to keep record,
either in the memory or in book, OF
the kind words and deeds shown TO us
by Others. Here is all account OF n
Book OF Thanks" kept by boy:
"T feel 80 ve1ed and ont OF temper
with Ben," cried Mark, "thnt I really
must -
"Do somethingin revenget" inquired
his cousin Cecelia.
"No. Look over my book OF thanks. VI
whats that Z" sail Cecelia, MS she
saw him turning over the leaves OF q
copy.book, nearly full OF writing, in
round text hand.
"Here it is," sai1 Mark. Then lie
read aloud:
"sMarch S.-Ben lent me his hat.'
"Here again: January 4.-When I
lost my shilling Ben made it up to me
kindly Well," observed the boy, turn
ing down the leaf, "Bcn is good hoy,
after Nll.
"Whnt 10 you note down in that y
asked Cecelia, looking over his shoulder
with some curiosity.
"All tho kindnesses that are ever
shown ME. You would wonder how
many there are. l find great deal oil

Common Sense Ventilation.

The best practical statement | have
met about ventilation was contained i'll
the remark OF mining engineer i'll
PENNSYLVANIA "Air is like rope you
can pull it better than you can push it. "
AL mechanical appliances for pushing
ir into a room or n house are disap.
pointing. What we need 10 do is to pull
ont the vitiated air already in the room !;
the fresh supply will take care Of itself
il means for its admission are provided.
1t has been usual to withdraw the mir
through openings near the ceiling, TINT
is, to carry Off the warmer and therefore
lighter portions, leaving the colder
strata ut tho bottom Of tho room. with
their gradual accumulation Of cooled
carbonic acid undisturbed. Much the
better plan would be to draw this lower
air out from point near the floor, nj
lowing the upper and warmer portions
to descend and take its place.
An open fire, with large chimney
throat, is the best ventilator for any
room the onG-half or two.thirtls OF the
heat carried up the chimney is the price
paid for immunity from disease, and
large though this seems from its daily
draft on the woodpile or coalbin. ii is
trihing when compared with doctors
bills and with the loss Of strength and
efficiency that invariably result from
living in rlnyentilatcd apartments.

Letting the Animals Loose.

Lucy Hooper writes to the Philadel-
phia Telegraph from Paris: The Me-
nagerie Bidel closed its doors with o
grand farewell performance, which was
likewise n gratuitous one. This me-
magerie added TO the usual display Of
wild beasts and the feats Of lion.tamersa 4
new and popular attraction. NJ. Bidel
was in the habit, at the close OF the per-
formanccs, Of letting loose number of
tame and harmless animals to receive the
caresses and admiration Of the audience,
particularly Of those spectators who had
reserved seats on tho front row next the
ring. First came three men, bearing on
their shoulders en- enormous boa.con.
strictor with head erect aud quivering,
darting tongue. Nobody cared particu.
lnrly to touch him, 80 his bearers march
ed around tho ring with him and then
disappeared. Next came huge alliga-
tor, carried in the same way, the first
man carefully keeping down his threat.
ening upper iaw. He was not n popular
pet either, though many curious indi-
viduals ventured to touch his scaly back
and dangling paws. Then came a group
of sott-eyed clumsy llamas, who blum.
dered about and walked over the specta-
tors and tumbled on tho children md
behaved themselves absurdly in general.
Then the giraffes and the elephant were
turned loose, and were immensely Ca
ressed. A race WAS organized between
the elephant and ono OF the girnffcs,
wherein the former got beaten, aud tes-
tilted his sense OF his discontinue. q
series OF horrible howls. But the great
success Of the evening were the lion
cubs, FIVE jolly little fellows, looking
like kittens on al exaggerated scale, md
all perfectly wild to I've let out for 4
frolic. As soon as the door OF their cage
was opened out they nll tumblcd, down
the inclined plank that led to the ring,
and NIL nightly inclined to play. They
were picked up and pntted and hugged
by everybody who could get hold OF ono
OF them, their tails were pulled md
their ears were pinched, and they were
generally treated with familiarity to
which members Of the royal lion family
are totally unnccustomed. They took it
all in good part, however, growing a
little sometimes when a royal tnil was
pulled too hard, or Il royal ear uuduly
pinched, but never attempting to scratch
or bite. After generalfroli MI round,
some of them got under the seats, curl"
cd themselves up. and went TO sleep, in
II comfortable, domestic.cat sort Of
fashion. 1t is M interesting question to
me ms to what influence the training will
have on these specimens Of usually ill.,
tractahle and savage race. Will they
grow mp to 10 ferocious brutes, growing
at humanity from behind the bars OF n
cage, or will their baby gentleness and
domcsticity continue:
