The Wicked Boy.

-"What ails your pas teeth," asked the
groceryman of the bad boy. "The hired
girl was over here to get some corn meal
for Cruel, and she said your pa had lost
his teeth"
ooh, about the teeth. That was too
had. You see, my chum has got dog
tnat is old, and his teeth have all como
out in front, and this morning I borricd
PAS teeth before he got mp, to see if we
couldn't fix them III the dogs mouth so
he could cat better. Pa says it is an
evidence of kind heart for boy to be
good to dumb animals, but it's darn
moan dog that will go back on a friend
We tied the teeth i'll the dogs mouth
with string that went around his upper
jaw and another around his under jaw,
and you'd didc to see how funny he
looked when he laf1cd. He looked Just
like pn when he tries to smile so us to
get me to come up to him SO he can lick
me. The dog paved his mouth spell
to get the teeth out, and then we gave
him bone with some meat on, and he
began to gnaw the bone, and the teeth
come off the plate, and he thought it
was pieces of the bone and he swallowed
the teeth My chum noticed it first, and
he said we had got to get in our work
pretty quick to save the plates, and
think We were i'll luck to save them. I
held the dog, and my chum, who was
better acquainted with lin, united the
strings and got the gold Plates out, but
there were only two teeth left, and the
dog was happy. He woggled his tail
for more teeth, but we hadn't any more.
] am going to give him mas teeth some
day. My chum says when dog gets an
appetite for anything you have got to
keep giving it to him or he goes back on
You. But think my chum played dirt
on me. We sold the gold plates to
Jewelry man, and my chum kept the
money. ."-WiltU0ukcc Sun.

A CAIRO OSTRICH FARM.
Visit 10 tho Breeding Enclosures Wbich
Stand Beside the Virgins Tree.

In company with q crowd of dukes
and right honorables, who have lately
been visiting the scenes of Lord VOL
seley's ''latest and most glorious achieve
ments," New York Herald correspond
ent says: I went to see the Cairo ostrich
farm. Everything in Egypt has an
archaeological setting. The village oi

ing less than the relics OF the CITY called
Pi-tom in the Old Testament that was
built by the Jews with bricks without
ltraw.
The Cairo ostrich farm is situated
within pistol shot of the famous Vir-
gins tree, which is still standing, and
under the shade Of which tradition tells
lis that the Virgin with the infant Jesus
and Joseph reposed when they fled into
Egypt from the wrath of Herod. Quite
near the Virgins tree and hidden among
thick foliaged shrubs, is French
restaurant, that has become the favorite
resort of princes and of golden youth, of
comedians and ladies of the CORPS dc
ballet, and of the tourists who visit
Cairo. There arc few indeed who do
not make IN excursion to the sacred tree
md refresh their inner man at the con-
vivial hostelry.
The ostrich farm extends from the
Virgins tree to the desert, and COM
prlscs several acres of land surrounded
ny high mud walls. The greater part of
the farm is desert, not because it is in
capable OF cultivation, but because tho
loose, pebbly sand is essential to the
well-belng of the ostrich. There are at
present on the farm 120 birds of more
than years growth, aud of these fifteen
arc female and twelve are male adults
that Is to say, they are moro than three
years old, the age at which they COM
mence to lay.
Twelve Of the adults are now layinp
ana three are engaged in hatching-one
being upon twenty two, one upon four.
teen, and one upon eleven eggs.
Strange to say, the male bird attends
more to the Matching part of the bust
hess than the female, especially in cold
"rrainy weather, and in fact often under
takes the whole Of that tedious duty
inmself being only relieved by his bottcr
half at meal hours
Mr.. Wetter, tho ostrich director, has
i'aen very fortunate in his efforts to
domestlcate the ostrich in Egypt. Out
OF l0S birds hatched last season eighty
yearlings are now alive and healthy-a
very successful result when it is borne in
mind that during tho late Arabi un-
pleasantness the ostriches wero much
neglected. After visiting the breeding
enclosures and those where the yearlings
were parked wo were conducted to the
incubating house and to wire cage
where this seasons birds were scamper-
ing about full of health and vigor. By
applying one of the eggs to hole cut in
II piece of blackened cardboard and plac-
ing 1T against the sun the ostrich farmer
showed us young bird which had been
lncubated by artificial means and had
reached maturity, actually pccking at
the interior of the shell and struggling to
break out of prison.

The Light Went Out.

Not long $50 [ stood by the death bed
of a littie girl. From her birth she had
been afraid of death. Every fiber of her
body and soul rccoilcd from the thought
Of it. "Don't let mo die," she said;
i'don't let me die. Hold me fast. Oh. l
ann't CO." "Jenny," l said, "you have
two little brothers in the other world,
and there are thousands of tcnder-hcnrtcd
people over there who will love you and
take care of YOU" But she cried out
again despairingly, "Don't let me go;
they arc strangers over there" She was
little country girl, strong limbed, Gect
OF foot, tanned in the face; she was raised
on the frontier; the fields were her home
In vain we tried to reconcile her to the
death that was inevitable. "Hold me
fast" she cried, "don't let me CO." But
even rs sho was pleading her little hands
relaxed their clinging hold from my
waist and lifted themselves eagerly aloft;
lifted themselves with such straining
effort that they lifted the wasted little
body from its reclining position among
the pillows. Her face was turned up
ward; but it was her eyes that told the
story. They were filled with the light of
Divine recognition. They saw something
plainly that we could not see; and they
grew brighter and brighter, and her
little hand quivered in eagerness to 90
where strange portals had opened upon
her astonished vision. But even in that
supreme moment size did not FORGET to
leave word of comfort for those who
would gladly have died in her place;
Mamma" she was saying, "mamma,
they are not strangers. I'm not afraid, !
And every instant the light burned more
gloriously in her blue eyes till at last Il
seemed as if her soul leaped forth npor
its radiant waves, and in that mon1enl
her trembling form relapsed among ite
pillows and she was gone.

Warmer than the Country.

Those who happen to live ut little
distance from the heart of a city, SAYS
N"irncc, must frequently have noticed
lack OF accord between the readings OF
the II own standard thermometers and
the published observations of the Signal
Service observer of their locality The
reason of the discord is plain; viz, the
pcrturbing action of the heat which the
city emits; and, however gratifying it
may be to the outsider to find himself
superior to the Government observers.
it is very little to the credit of the
Weather Bureau that this particular
source of error was not long since recog-
nized and avoided. The remarks of
Professor Whitney on this subject, as
applied to observations made at London.

Two ROmancCs in Real Life.

The son of leading lawyer in New
York, some years ago. was attracted by
the innocent face and quick wit of Il
Welsh clambcrmnid in his fathers house,
and declared that he preferred her to all
the fashionable beauties who had cOllrtcd
his notice.
His family protested, but to no pur-
pose. The only concession he would
make was to consent to go to Europe for
three years before marrying the girl. In
the meantime, having an independent
fortune, the lover placed her mt one Of
the best schools in New York.
The girl WAS ambitious and devoted in
her affection to The man who had chosen
