A Brave Heart Always Tender.

When Sir John Lawrence was Gov
ernor-General of India he was told one
day of little girl who had been taken
i'll, and was pining away with grief at
the loss of q very curious pet. The pet
was tame ostrich, which the child had
raised from the egg, left by the ostrich
mother in the grass of the park at Bar
rackpore.
The little girls father was the keeper
Of the park, and soon after her discov-
cry of the egg he died and his successor
was appointed.
Fearing that foxes or jackals would
eat her treasure, or that the cold dews
would destroy it, the little girl carried
the big egg to the Bungalow, and buried
it safely in lidless box filed with dry
white sand. This she took pains to set
out in the sun every day just where the
fiercest rays would pour init. Alright
she coaxed motherly hen, whose own
eggs she transferred elsewhere, to brood
over the box.
By-and-by, to the great fright Of the
poor hen, giant chick broke the shell,
and stepped into view. The hen ruffied
her feathers. spread her wings, and fled.

Something About Toads.

"Oh, papa, see what great, ugly
toadl Do get stick and kill him be-
fore he gets away, said little Tommy
Gray, as he was walking in the garden
with his father.
"Why do you wish him kiIledpn ask
cd his father.
.'Oh, because he Is such an ugly thing,
and am afraid he will eat up every
thing in the garden. You know we
killed several bugs and worms which
we found here last evening. ! am sure
this toad Is much worse than they. y
1--WE killed the bugs and worms be-
cause they were destroying our flowers
and vegetables. This poor toad never
destroys n plant Of any kind about the
place Besides, he is one Of our best
friends. These insects that are doing
SO much harm in our garden are just
what he uses for his food. / have no
doubt that he kills more of them every
day than we did last evening. II you
can find live bug place it near him
and see what he will do
Tommy looked about, and soon found
three bugs, which he placed near the
toad, and then stood back short dis
tance to see tho result Soon the bugs
began TO move away. The toad saw
them, and made quick forward motion
Of his head. He dartcd out his tongue
and instantly drew them, one by one,
into his mouth. Tommy clapped his
hands with delight.
..How can such clumsy-looking fell
low use his head and tongue so
nimblyp" said Tommy; and he ran off
to find more food for him
The next evening Tommy went again
into the garden, and soon found the OBJ
ject of his search ready for his supper.
AT first the toad was shy, but he soon
learned TO sit still while Tommy placed
the food near him. Then he would dart
out his tongue and eat the bugs while
Tommy was close by. Finding that the
boy did not hurt him, he soon lost all
fear and became great pet. Tommy
named him Humpy, and says he would
not have him killed now for anything.

solidified, and. as the professors decided
not to have the bell cleaned out, the
students were obliged to attend chapel

notes Of the bell. This was hardship
the students had not thought of, and

A Very Bashful Husband.

The following incident in the early
married life of lawyer of village in
New York State, who is as well known
for excessive bashfulness as he is for
eccentricity and good nature, is told in
the Boston HerGLd: So bashful was he
that, after bringing his ladylike and ac-
complished bride from the northern
part of the country, instead of intro
ducing her to his acquaintance, after
the manner of proud young husbands
of the ordinary stamp, he actually
almost hid himself and her from his
most intimate friends. To get him to
go to church even was task that his
wife, mother and sisters found SO
extremely difficult that they could
only succeed by declaring that he
was ashamed Of his bride. On
one occasion lecture was to be
given which his wife particular
ly desired to attend. Our friend,
in response to her request for escort,
told his wife that he knew she wouldn't
like the lecture, and for his part he
should enjoy staying at home with her
much better. She persisted and he ex-
hausted every argument to prove that
she would not find the lecture enjoyable.
At last the true reason of her husbands
disinclination to go out flashed over the
wife's mind, and she said: "Well, my
dear, you can never convince me that I
dom know but we had better stay at
home; If you should be seen out with
me too much at night it might create q
scandal" They went to the lecture.

Cure for Paving Horses.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes that paper that the habit
of paving can be overcome In most
cases by lifting the foot, and holding II
up for q while every time tie animal be-
gins to paw. To give the horse the
first lesson, he says: "Put on an old
harness, buckle strap around each Of
the forward fetlocks, attach a small
rope five or six feet long to each strap,
pass the ropes through rings or loops on
the top Of the saddle, take the horse to
soft, smooth spot SO that he will not
be liable to get hurt, grit the saddle
tight SO that II will not turn, take up
one forward foot and hold it up for
some ten or fifteen minutes by making
the rope fast at the ring on the saddle.
The object of this lesson is to teach the
horse that standing on three legs is tire
some and disagreeable work; and also
to teach him that his foot is held by a
superior power, and that he can not put
it down without the consent Of that
power. For him to get these ideas he
needs to stand long enough to get very
tired Of it, and needs to do his best to
get his foot free before he can realize
that it is impossible for him TO free it.
Having given this lesson, put the horse
in the place where heais in the habit Of
doing the most paving, and when he
lifts either foot up by pulling on the
rope attached to it. hold it for
short time only. The object of this
lesson is to teach the horse that it is
when and only when he lifts his foot to
paw that the control Of it is taken from
him. When he learns this he will prob
ably stop the practice, but for him to
get this idea the foot must be taken and
held long enough for him to realize that
it is held every time he attempts to
paw. In this, as in all teaching and all
disciplinary work, the teacher and gov
ernor needs a good supply Of patience
and perseverance.
