A CHARACTERISTIC anecdote of Carl
baldi is related in Ia "Life" of that Gen
eral, recently published. One evening
in 1861 he was met bya Sardirian shep-
herd who was lamenting the loss of one
Of his lambs. Garibaldi at once pro-
posed to his staff that the mountains
should be explored for the little vagrant,
but after an unayailing search the sol
ders retired to rest. Not so the Gen
eral, however. For the next morning
Garibaldi, who was accustomed always
to be the first man awake in the camp,
was found by his attendant in bed and
fast asleep. On being aroused he opened
his eyes in some alarm, and instantly
inquired whether the rest Of the house
were awake or not. He was relieved on
receiving an answer in the negative, and
stretching his arm under the counter
pane of the bed, he brought to light a
tiny lamb, which he handed to his friend,
urging him to take it with all speed
and without being observed to the dis
consulate shepherd. The friend had
Just time to remark that by the side Of
the bed was saucer, in the bottom of
which remained a few drops of milk.

The Fuel Used I'm Paris,

The wood used in Paris is cut from
young trees, and consists almost entirely
of small round sticks, says correspon-
den'. How this immense city can OBJ
tain a sufficient supply of this kind of
fuel in this almost denuded-of-wood
country is mystery cannot explain,
unless it is because they do not consume
more than ten per cent. as much fuel as
is used in New York city. So costly is
wood that have seen it piled up in the
most artistic manner in tie second or
third story of Il building where it is kept
for sale, and have even seen it piled in
shop windows as sign that it can be
purchased there. 1t is a saying that a
French family can live luxuriously on
what IN American family will waste, so
thoroughly do they understand the art
of cooking and of cconomizing food. 1t
can be said with equal truth that the
same family will keep comfortably warm
and do all the cooking on the fuel that is
unnecessarily consumed by the American
family. During cold weather only one
or two apartments are heated beside the
kitchen.

refrain from giving Il specimen stanza
from each side. The poem was headed

"Oh, : love to bask In Natures smile,
Under the greenwood tree,

This was all very well, of course, and
no one could justly complain of her
desire 10 get under the greenwood tIee
and bask in Natures smile, but the
other side of the page told u different
story. II was the commencement OF a.
letter, and in prose the poetess talked
IA follows:

QUEER ToM.-Tom Fossofer was the

fleda found her tulips all rooted up by
her pet puppy, and cried, rs little girls
will, Tom was sure to come around the
corner whistling, and say:
What makes you cry? Can you cry
tulips? Do you think every sob makes
root or blossom? Here, let's try to
right them"
30 he would pick up the poor flowers,
put their roots into the ground again,
whstling all the time, make the bed look
smooth and fresh, and take Fleda oft to
hunt hens nests in the barn. Neither
did he do any differently in his owa
troubles. One day his great kite snap
pei the string and flew away far out Of
sight. Tom stood still Il moment, and
then turned around to come home, whist
ling a merry tune.
" Why, Tom," said |, aren't you
sorry to lose that kitc?"
" Yes, but what's the use! | can't
take more than Il minute to feel bad.
Sorry will not bring the kite back, and
want to make another"
Just so when he broke his leg.
Poor I.Om, cried Fleda, " you can't
play any mO-O.o-rc"
" I'm not poor, either. You cry for
me don't have to do it for myself,
and | have splendid time to white.
Besides, when | get well, shall beat
every boy in school ON the multiplica-
ton table; for say it over and over
till it makes me sleepy, every time my
leg aches"
Tom Flossofer was queer, certainly;
but wish great many more people
we're queer that way.

" Bless me! have known Johnny for

until he was twcnty-onc years old. in
the old country Johnny had small noe
and spade made for him, and content.
eddy raised potatoes until his parents
died and his brothers and sisters came
to America.
Deserted by all his relatives, Johnny
felt lonesome and when the ship which
took them away returned, he went to the
captain and told him he was going to
America also. The captain advised him
to stay in County Cavan, but his reso-
luton was taken, and he came to New
York. His small stature was a sore
trial to him at first. He was sensitive
IN the subject, and when he vcntured
into the streets large crowd would fol-
ow him, and their curiosity so annoyed
him that in sheer desperation he at last
made his way to his friend the captain

feelings and told him that when once he
became known persons would stop an
