the patches on poor little Constance's

loud laugh. Poor little heart. At first
she looked down, then the tears came
with a great rush, and she tried to run

than those recruited in Western Virginia.
The war was terribly real to them. Not

Instinct or Reason.

A small English terrier belonging to a
friend has been taught to ring for the
servant. To test if the dog knew why it
rang the bell, he was told to do so while
the girl was in the room The little
fellow looked up in the most intelligent
manner at the person giving the order
(his master or mistress, I forget which),
then at the servant, and refused to obey,
although the order was repeated more
than once. The servant left the room.
and few minutes afterward the dog
rang the bell Immediately on being told
to do so. 1 give the following as told
by my wife, now dead, who personally
witnessed the tranaction on various oc-
casions At her sisters house in Kent

the children, grazed in field with some
cows, was in the regular habit Of acting
as follows: At the usual hour for the

The following is taken from the Anaheim
Gos Angeles Co., Cal.,) Gazette, May 2lst:
''The readers of the Gazette are acquainted
with the peculiar system of dietetics prac-
ticed by the members of the Societas Fra
ternia. They have doubtless had hearty
laugh over the absurdity of the system, and
have dismissed the subject from their minds
with the mental remark that if these people
chose to gorge themselves with pumpkin
seed and green peas, it was nobody's busi-
ness but their own. But the affair assumes
a serious aspect when it is known that the
children of the community are compelled
to subsist on the same meager fare
There are three children one of
them being mere baby-about year
old This child, when eight months old,
was weaned upon scraped apple, so Doctor
Schlesinger says. This has been its dict
ever since, varied only by occasional iIl-
dulgences in dried figs. oranges, raisins, or
something of that sort. The result is that
the child is nothing but skin and bones. 1t
is being slowly starved to death. Those who
have seen the poor little child cay that it is
undoubtedly dying of starvation, and that
unless some nourishment is speedily given it,
it will die. Two or three weeks ago adluoh.
ter of the Rev. DR.. Toombs, whose residences
is near that occupied by the society, wrote a
respectful note to the mother Of the child,
telling her that it was undoubtedly dying of
starvation, and suggesting the propriety of
giving the little Innocent that nourishment
Of which it go manifestly stood in need. To
this missive most extraordinary reply was
made. The mother wrote sEsfgL !

An old farmer once said he would not
have hired man on his farm who did
not habitually whistle. He always hired
whistlers. He never knew whistling
laborer to find fault with his food, his bed,
or complain of any extra work he was
asked to perform. Such a man was gen

such man more careful about closing
