mother tried to soothc her infant, but
another fish was followed by Il fresh
Hight and precious delay of the pack.
Again and again the action was re-
peated, until at length the barking of

while the almost exhaust cd mother ran
past the friendly brulcs to the door of
the farmhouse, thrown open to receive
her.
The great dogs are trained to their
duty, and no sooner was the fugitive in

order to the same safe stronghold, leav-

StrOn Tea

General John Beatty, OH one occasion
when on long march regaled himself
with what he supposed to bo tea, but
was In reality, tobacco juice, and had
been concocted from a paper Of chew
ing tobacco which the General had
handed to the servant by mistake. The
General thought once or twice that the
"tca" seemed slightly impregnatcd
with flavor Of tobacco, but attributed
1t to the fact that he mad been smoking
more than usual for some time before,
and that the tobacco taste was there
fore not In the liquid but in his mouth.
When the General returned from his
march, he happened to mention to his
servant that the tea tasted like tobacco
juice, and was astounded at receiving
the reply, cit is terbacker juice, sir!
"Why, you must be an internal fool,
john" said the somewhat horrlticd
General, "to give me tobacco juice to
drink !" "Can't help that, sir; you
gave mo paper o. terbackcr and tole me
to make tea Of 1t. Did jest as you tolc
me SIR" The reasoning was conclu-
sivc, and the General was obliged to
content himself with pouring the rest
Of tho "tea" out Of his canteen.

look like children. the parks and gardens

for the Fc!e Dicu, and you go down to find

with garlands of paper roses and lighted

saints. Old women with long cloaks and
broad tapping lace caps count their beads
as they stand waiting with candles in their

procession passes they arc sprinkling white

The crowds line the narrow sidewalks, the

Wonderful Tcnaoity OF Life.

Thirty-threc years ago, an Egyptian
desert snail was received at the British
Museum. The animal was known to be
alive, as 1t had withdrawn into It's shell,
and the specimen was accordingly gummcd,
mouth downward, on to q tablet, duly la
bcled and dated, and left to Its fate. In.
stead of starving, this contcnted gastropod
simply went to sleep, in quiet way, and
never woke up. again for four years. The
tablet was then placed In tepid water, and
the shell loosencd, when the dormant snail
suddenly resuscitated himself, began walk
ing about the basin, and finally cat for his
portrait Now, during these four years,
tho snail had never eaten q monthful of
any food, Yeti was quite as we'll and
flourishing at the end Of the period as he
had been at Its beginning.

Wolnan's Escape from Wolves.

In the year 1910 died in the town Of
Greene, Me-, an old man named Thom-
as, who had thrilling wolf story of
his own to tell, though the experience
was too early for his memory, he being
at the time & baby in arms. Mr.. George
d. Verney relates the adventure in the
Lewlstown journal. Mrs. Thomas was
hsherman's wife who lived in the
town of Brunswick, Me-, where Bow
doin College now stands. At one time
when her husband was in port, but
could not come home, she started on
foot to Harpswell. a distance of ten
miles, to see him, carrying her young
est child in her arms. Returning with
a load of fish on her back rs well as the
burden OF her babe, she heard wolf
howl In the fol est, and terror quickencd
her pace, although she was already fain
to sink with fatigue.
She was midway of the five miles of
unbroken woods when tho howl Of the
wolf again smotc her ear, and this time
other voices, one after another, Joined
In. The pack had gathered on her
trail!
She must climb tree, one would
say; but she did not. She did not even
throw away her flsh.
The wolves gained upon her moment
by moment, the great gray wolves Of
the North, that stand as high as man
when they rear. 1t was mile and q
half TO the nearest hOuse when sbe n rst
caught glimpse Of the approach of the
demons
She had for the last two miles walk
cd at her utmost speed: 1t was now
time to run. Yet still held firmly her
babe and her fish.
A quarter OF a mile more, ana swift
ly as she~had passed 1t, the wolves
we're within few yards. She could
see their white teeth and hear their
laboring breath above her own. She
loosoned and threw down a single fish,
and ran. The pack discoyeled rare
game, and fought together for Its pos
session.
BY the timo 1t was eaten the brave
woman had got a quarter ofa milo in adj
vance; but tho pack were soon at her
heels again. Another Il Ii checked them
and their snarls and yells, ,as they again
fought eaoh other for a bite Of the saw
ory fresh Goldfish, hurried the labor
ious flight OF the weary woman,
Her baby, annoyed by the shaking 1t
had received from tile rapid pace, at
