An Infant Has Its Arm Bitten or by en-

Unattended. A strange attachment ex-
isted between the alligator and the infant
the former being so docile that the friends
frequently spent hours during the day in
playing with each other. The alligator
would amble clumsily to his tank, take
sportive dive, and, returning, he would
embrace the little one, 50 TO speak. and
give unmistakable evidence of delight in
receiving tender caresees in return so
secure seemed the friendship between
them that Mr.. Philbrick never. thought
CT harm, and left the playmates to them
selves to pass the time as suited their in
cllnation. The friendly relations did not
last long however, for Mr.. Philbrick was
startled about ten O'Clock on Wednesday

the backyard, anl, rushing out, he
found to his horror that the alligator had
bitten the little fellows arm almost en-

giving him the appearance of subdued

cred the lacerated member. dressed the

to waddle about on three legs. We have
often heard of ''crocodile tears" but un-

their existence could have been easily

A Sentry on Duty.

Next to being galley slave, the most
disagreeable and monotonous existence
in the world must be reserved for SEN
try on duty,and the sentries at Berlin are
most especially deserving Of commisera-
tion. There are in the first place, more
Of them there than there are anywhere
else, two being invariably posted at the
door OF every ambassador and minister of
state, and their saluting duties are exceed.
ingly arduous. The moment an officer
appears in sight, a sort of clockwork
movement takes place. Each sentry turns
his b. ri 70 see whether his comrade is
read, and then, simultaneously and
mechanically, both raise their muskets
to the saluti ng point, in which position
they hold them as long as the officer is
visible. There are various degrees OF sa-
luting, according to the rank of the in
dividual saluted, and the most elaborate
form of all is, of course reserved for the
members OF the royal family. These
august personages, however, grow some
times weary of their honors; and it is
standing order that if royalty wave his
ha: 10 the sentry, the salute is to be
di ,pe,:sed with.

"Wind," says an old horseman, "is the
grand secret of fast horse. Good lungs
will cover multitude of faults; while on
the other hand, perfection OF shape and
form are useless when the wind is out.
The chest, therefore in all cases, should
be large and capacious. In shape it may
vary somewhat, according to the service
to which the horse is to be put. If he is
apt to be kept for slow work and heavy
drawing the chest may be nearly circular
in form, because this shape is one
strength and nulk, to receive and bea
up against the pressure of the collar
while, at the same time, sufficient room is
secured for that expansion of the lungs
caused by slow, regular work. But if
the chest is circular, let it be at the
same time deep, or else the lungs may
be cramped. A horse with a shallow
chest is worthless for any purpose. The
rule then is this: For draught horse
a circular but deep chest; but as sou
pass through the different degrees of
speed up to the racer and trotter, the
chest will increase in depth, compared to
roundness, until, for the highest rate of
speed, you must take chest as deep as u
greyhound, and at the same time not
lacking In strength"

Acreage REQ nj, ed for 4 Cow

How much land is required for the
support of cow2 This question de-
pends for an answer so much on the cir
cumstances of the soil as not to admit of
very definite answer. Mr.. Schulz, of
Fittle Falls, N. Y, estimates that the
land in pasturage and hay requisite for
the support of a COW is three acres; and
this is the estimate of Mr.. Darlington for
moderately good dairy farms in England.
In Belgium ten acres of land support two
cows, one heifer, and one yearling or calf
but when the calves are sold off young,
and COWS in full milk are only kept, the
proportion is two cows to seven and one
half acres. Colman estimates three acres
of pasturage as requisite for a COW in
Berkshire county, Mass, while in some
towns two acres of pasturage are suffi-
cient. Mr.. harrington, in the report of
the American Dairymen's association,
thinks that on the average four acres are
required per COW, tor summer and winter
keep, while Mr.. <. A. Willard says in
Herkimer county, N. Y, one and one
half to two acres Of pastu1age per COW
will answer, and in some exceptional
cases one acre.

"Hellen," said the deep-chested Hec-

RiFds ANA Insects.

The cher danger to the increase Of our
little feathered friends just now lies in
the passionate desire of small boys to
acquire their eggs; and the following
curious estimate has been made of the
penalty paid by farmers and gardners for
the destruction of one birds nest; As q
rule each nest, is left undisturbed, will
contain five young birds, and each of
these eats fifty flies or insects daily for
the space OF five weeks. Taking this, how.
ever, as thirty days only, you have 1900
as the food required for single nest of
tive young birds. On the other hand,
these 1900 insects would have destroyed
thirty blossoms each, 100000 probable
fruits. Think of quarter of million
of ripe peaches or pears lost each time a
youngester robs birds nest! If boys
must take nests let them conffne them
selves to sparrows. We can afford to
spare large number of them without
missing them; but protect the song birds
and their young.-The Country.

Why must We, then, be sad,

Not half can utterance all her Joy unfold,
Though she runs DER and DER
The strings tried long before,
To body forth the life that's never old.
Not for our sakcs arrayed,
Though we would fain persuade
Our foolish hearts that she, in servant ssguise,
Spreads all her varied show
Be ore us as VIC go,
To win approving glanccs from our eyes.
All, no! Though in broad glee
She laughs where all can see,
In leagues of dandelioDs all dewy wet.
All to herself sac smiles
In far-Of ocean isles,
And IN dim hooks in shy blue violets.
And though she dances still
Along the sheer brown hill
In scarlet glow OF swinging columbinc,
In gentian she smiles slow,
As happy maid might go,
Who sings, II love him, and his heart is
mine"
She wants no added bliss,
No praise for this, or this;
Simply she is SO glad she cannot rest,
But still must evermor"
In every way outpour
Inc exceeding DllsS that stlrs kWlth1n nef

No care for us has she;
And VIC, alas!-and we
Can look but sadly ut her innocent play;
Shut out from paradise,
We see with other eyes;
The flaming sword has rent allDveils away
Is there then for US too
No life forever new?
Or is that life new but in lying care,
Till on His far-off throne
Our God must hear alone
The cry of pain upsing everywhere?
Yet had it better been
We still had staid within,
Nor tasted fruit that lets us not forget?
God knows if it be So

And overhead the stars, they rise, they set.
