Little Heroes and Heroines.

The Kansas City Times, in its report
of the terrible disaster in that city,
gives the following incidents, showing
the heroism of children in time of dam
ger and trial:
When the storm had passed and the
rumor spread that the Lathrop school,
house had fallen the excitement in the
city was indescribable. Along Wyan-
dotte street and Broadway men were
hurrying to their homes, anxious for
their wives and children. In every yard
stood the women nearly crazed with
anxiety and apprehension. Every pass
er-by was halted and interrogated
about the Lathrop school. 20, my
God." said one poor woman the tears
streaming down her cheeks. my boy is
dead! my boy is dead" Don't tell me
other, my poor child is there" God
have lost my darling" And the men.
unable to give word of comfort, hur-
ried on, their hearts in their throats
and tears in their eyes.
But even sadder scenes were those
around the ruined school-house. A
laboring man in the homely clothes of
toll broke through the crowd and
pushed into the building. A few mo-
ments later he returned bearing in his
arms little girl. He was cooing to
her and telling her he had come to save
her. and he asked her to look at him
and call him father" But the little
head had fallen upon his shoulder, and
the little eyes were closed in death.
81 went with a lady" said gentle
man, Ito assist her in finding her little
girl. We had nearly reached the build
ing, when we met Il couple of men bear
ing out the corpse of a child. Somebody
near me asked: "Who is that childP''
The men replied. The poor woman fell
back as if she had been shot 1t was
her daughter"
II was down town." said West side
lady, ''whiie the storm was raging In
the store where had taken refuge was
a sewing woman. She was very nerv-
GUS and anxious. She said that she had
left some of her children at home, and
two were in the Lathrop school. We
did not know at that Time" said the
lady, that the school-house had fallen,
but it was the first thing heard when
went out upon the street. And when
l picked up the paper in the evening
nrst among the list of killed was this
poor woman's child. Ah, it is such sad
things as these that go to mothers
heart"
81 never saw a gamer lot of children
than there were in the Lathrop School,"
said John Pelletier, one of the crew of
No. 2 reel. 1--WE found a little girl
buried up to ner breast in fallen timber.
As we approached her she said; Don't
tramp on that board; my foot is under
there Then she added There is a
little boy next to me and you had better
take him out first. My name is Daisy
Never mind, Daisy said l, we will
get you both out, but not till the little
chap had asked us to put handker-
chief over his face to keep off the dust.
L tell you that little boy and girl had
true grit, and so had all of them. They
behaved like little heroes"

The Tongue in Disease.

One of our medical contemporaries
states that different complaints are indi-
Gated by the condition of the tongue, as
follows:
A white-coated tongue indicates feb
rile disturbance; brown moist tongue
indicates disordered indigestion or over
loaded prime vie; brown dry tongue
indicates depressed vitality, as in ty-
phoid conditions and blood-poisoning;
red moist tongue indicates debility, as
from exhausting discharges; a red dry
tongue indicates pyrexia, or an intiam-
matory fever; Il strawberry" tongue
with prominent papille indicates scar
let fever or rotheln; a red glazed tongue
indicates debility, with want of assimil-
ative power of digestion; tremulous,
tiabby tongue indicates delirium trem-
ems; hesitancy in protruding the tongue
indicates conclusion of the brain; pro-
trusion at one side indicates paralysis of
the muscles Of that sids.< 49, =

He had studied every lexico- from ancient
Mede to Mexican,
Knew Assyrian, Sanscrit, Greek;
Knew the shape of sword and sandal of the

And the old Etruscan features and ply sique.
He could write song or sermon in old Celt or
ancient German,
And sing Italian songs and roundelays,
describe Tiglath-PileZer, the herbivorous
Neb bchadnezZer
And all the Kings and Queens of olden days.
He knew Nimrod, Noah, Cyrus, and the mon

And gave scholarly descriptions of their
deeds;
He could lend an added splendor to the an

And describe the early monarchs Of the

Of word that parched and paralyzed and

An Imperial Wedding.

The Chinese Empire is all agog over;
an important event which is soon to
take place in the Imperial family. The
Emperor IS almost a young man, hav-l
ing reached the age OF 16, and prepara-
tions are already being made for his
marriage. His guardians have latterly,
been granting him greater liberty and
during the winter he was allowed to ex-,
ercise his royal limbs Oh the Ice on the
lakes which ornament the grounds of
his palace.
The task of selecting wife for hisi
Imperial Highness is no light one. For
year at least before the choice is made
no Manchu girl above a certain rank,
and between the ages of u and IS. isl
allowed to marry, and at an appointed
time the parents of all such girls must
bring them to the palace for inspection
by the officials whose duty il is to choose
from them a consort for the Sovereign.
The journey TO the capital is in manyj
cases long and arduous one, but the
candidates, if they may be so termed,
are not kept long in suspense, and the;
rejected ones are handed back to their
parents, free to return to their homes!
and marry whom they please AlthouGh
this method of accomplishing such an
important affair may seem odd to us, it,
is not after all so very much unlike that
by which the royal marriages are
brought about in Europe Very many,
of the latter are marriages de conven-,
ance. arranged by the families of the
contracting parties. who have very
little voice in the matter, and as little to-
do with the choice as the Emperor of
China. In each case the marriage is a
State affair-TOrOntO Mail.

For Whales or Wild Fowl.

A double-barreled gun has recently
been made for the Duke of Sutherland's 8
steam yacht, mounted on pivot. and
the total length is tifty-three inches, the
weight being 115 pounds. One barrel
is ritied and the other is smooth-bore.
1t is intended principally for killing
whales, although it may be used for
sharks, porpoises, sunfish, etc. 1t will
fire a ten-ounce explosive bullet of steel,
or thirteen-ounce sohd shot There is
also harpoon to be fired from the
smooth-bored barrel. The explosive
bullet will doubtless be very effective
instrument when used against whales,
as it is said it will tear away sufficient
piece of the animal to insure its death,
while the harpoon will serve to secure
the carcass. For this purpose it has at
tached to it a flexible steel wire rope
wound on reel. The explosive bullet
and the harpoon are to be fired stimuli
taneously, so that while one kills the
quarry the other secures it. The gun
can also be used for wild-fowling.-

A Bright Dog.

81 was in the habit of giving
bones to my poodle Mouston during
dinner, and he would go into the yard
to gnaw them When the bone was too
large for him, 1 would get up and 90
out with him, and split it before his eyes
with a hatchet. One day, Mouston!
after having gone out with his bone as
usual, came back bringing it in his
mouth, fixed himself in front of me and
wagged his tail. 1 ordered him back
but he persisted in staying where ha
was. Finally, l thought of what he
wanted and arose, while the animal inS
dulged himself in leaps of satisfaction
The trouble was, that the bone was too
large for him. Now, when | call to
mind the expression of the dog when he
showed me the bone without getting an
answer from me, l could not help think
ing that he must at that moment have
had very poor opinion of my UNDER
standing"
1t is evident from this incident that
Mouston knew explicitly that the bone
would be easier to manage if it was split,
and that l alone had means of splitting
it; and he had clear and precise idea
In anticipation of what he expected of
me. Finally, he manifested his desire
to me by the only means within his
power. How much better could a deaf;
mute do than he did?
But it is one thing to think by resem,
blances, and another thing to think by
symbols. A story was recently publish.
ed by M. Dubuc, of pointer which had
learned after few years that its master
went hunting every Sunday, while on
the other days he went 70 business; and
NJ. Dubuc concluded that the animal
had learned to count up to seven. 4
This conclusion is not legitimate; ID
may even be said to be wrong. The
dog distinguished Sunday by some featl
ures that were peculiar to it; by the
movements about the house, the bet
havior and Sunday dress of the servantsi
the dress of the master, or any one on
more of number of things that make
Sunday different from the other days Of
the week; but we may say without cons
tradiction that it did not count sevenJ
We ourselves. if we We're restricted to a
life absolutely uniform, would nc ba
able to distinguish the seventh la9
without mnemotechnic aids, and sd
rule we seldom recollcct the day c tho
date except by the assistance OF intr sid
clrcumstanceS.-H j. Dei6gut, in l-oDI
