An Heroic Roy.

Every year on the occasion of the
national fetes the Belgian government
makes public distribution of rewards
to persons who have performed re.
markable acts of courage in good
causes. Among those who were re.
warded the other day was q little bow
of nine, whose exploit may be contrasted
with the behavior of the people who al
lowed the little girl to be drowned at
Kensineton gardens. Genin, playing in
field few months ago, saw a little
girl fall into the Sambre. Without
knowing who the child was he plunged
INTO the river, and after some trouble
saved her. The child turned out to be
his own sister. Not content With bav-
ing rescued her from death Genin. like
a good-hearted little boy, wanted TO
shield her from the punishment she had
deserved by playing too near the river.
contrary to her parents orders. So he
took the blame of her disobediepce on
himself and received beating from his
father. The little girl, however, could
not bear to see him suffer in this wav.
and afterward told the whole truth
which was corroborated by the evidence
of an eyewitness. The facts then be-
came public, and young Genin was sum-
moned to Brusselsat the fetes to receive
national recompense. He was of
course loudly eheered as he stepped up
TO the platform, and M. Rolin. .Jacdue-
myns. the home minister, in pinning a
medal to his breast, called him a little
hero.-IS. James Gazette.

Alligator Children.

A Southern paper gives an account of
a woman near Live Oak, Fla, who was
pursued and very much frightened by
huge alligator. Subsequently, she gave
birth to twins. both males. Thev
were perfect children down to their
waists, and complete alligators below
tail and all. There are short, webbed
feet and legs at the lower portion of the
abdomen like alligators. They crawl
with their hands, dragging themselves
about Just as an alligator does. They
make squealing, inarticulate noise.
The mother has large tank filed with
water, in which she keeps them, and
they live nearly all the time in it. They
are now fourteen or fifteen years old.
Comparatively few outside the imme-
date neighborhood knew of the case
until the enterprising newspaper man
got hold OF it. The mother has re-
fused large offers of money to exhibit
her children.

EDITOR HERALD A very agreeable and
pleasant surprise took place at the Lutheran
parsonage in Jennertown, on the evening of
the 21st. Some Of our kind friends of the
Mount Zion congregation came to visit us,
and brought with them substantial tokens
of kindness We appreciate these gifts all
the more because most of them were given
by the poorer members ofthc Congregation.
Such deeds Of kindness we appreciate, and
they are calculated to encourage any pastor
in his arduous labors Such visits and gath
erings are also pleasant socially. Too many
people think that the pastor ought TO come
and see them often-do all the visiting
while they forget to pay the pastor-and his
family a visit to make them feel that they
are well disposed towards them. To make
it pleasant for pastor and people, visiting
must be two sided
As was away from home whom this sur
prise occurred, take this method of thank
ing the kind donors. Many thanks to all
who have contributed to this donation, and
may You realize of q surety that 1t is more
blessed to give than to receive"
