7 refused to reply. He got angry
again, dug my scalp as he combed my
hair. gave my head several unnecessary
twists and knocks and pushes, and he
ierked the big calico apron of my lap as
if he hated me. However, curiosity
suddenly overcame hisvexation OF spirit,
and as he brushed me off he said
"This town ought to support another

upon me day or night"
I wouldn't speak, and l heard HIM
gritting his teeth. He also struck me
several hard blows with his brush, and

DIspRopoRTIoN OF THE SEXEs.-The
proportion of males to females III the
population of the German Empire APP
pears to be steadily declining. In 1919
the excess of females over males, In
what is now the German Empire, was
34S .631. which declined in the following
nine years of peace to 313,3s3 in 1854.
At the end of 1866, that IS, after the
Schleswig- Holstein and Austrian wars,
the excess was All $50. In December,
1871. the effects of the war with France
we're shown in an ascertained surplus
female population of 49, 75. Thus in
the seven years, from 1864 to 1871 the
excess of females over males in the Ger
man population had increased by no less
than fourteen per cent. Although no
uncomfortable portion of this loss to
the Germun male population is due to
actual slaughter on the tle-field, it is
undoubtedly caused principally by emf
grafton. Even if emigration could now
be checked, it would take more than
one generation to restore the proportion
between the two sexes in Germany to
what it was ten years ago.-Pop"l~

A SAGAc1ous HoRsE.-The editor OF
the Christian Adrocate tells the follow
ing anecdote of one of his horses: "A
few days since, as we were leaving our
residence, on our usual morning visit to
the Office, n chestnut horse belonging to
us galloped up and caught our arm, and
made an attempt to pull MS in the direc,
ton we wished to go. He then left, and
went off at quick gait toward pasture
on farm about quarter OF mile dis
tant from our residence. In few min
utes he approached us again, making an
unusual noise, and seemed by his ac-
tions to desire us to follow him. This
we did. and when we reached the pas
ture we observed the mate of the horse
entaneled in bridge that had broken
through with him. After we had extri-
Gated his companion from his dangerous
position. the horse which had given us
notice of his companions danger came
up and rubbed his head against us,
showing great signs of satisfaction"
