\ paper called Mature published
in Paris, has picked up story almost
eclipsing that Of the cock and bull. for
which it cites - an authority the di-
rector Of glass factory, in the district
Of Aniche. This gentleman had dog,
and this dog was turned out to play
with other dogs in the open field behind
the factory. It was the time Of hard

and the dog, who was rough-haired

meant, for the crow. % Yarrell informs
Us, is solitary bird found only alone

turer writes that that there were one

where the dog was, out Of which only
about thirty Joined in the onslaught.

former, lowering at height Of about
six feet made dashes from time to time
at the head Of the victim, aiming their
beaks at his eyes and At particular

tablished an open wound.

attempted to fee, would actually have

came to the rescue, and brought him
home in his arms, while the detach-
ment OF prosecutors lowered with

dogs life was saved for tho time, but

afterward his wounds became 60 dam

IT is stated that Englishmen drink
five times IS much tea as coffee, while
Americans drink eight times as much
coffee as tea. This is accounted for on
two grounds. American coffee is purer
than the English article, and the cost
of tea is less than that of coffee, as
there are good many more cups in q
shilling's worth of tea than in q
shilling's worth Of coffee.

NELLIE GAHAN was for many years
the companion of Mrs. John A. Roe
bling of New York, who was fussy
invalid, but rich, and promised Nellie
that she would do the handsome thing
for her in her will, but finally forgot to
do it. So Nellie brought suit for $780,
600, as being the just compensation she
should have for her years Of devotion.
A cruel jury divided Nellie's claim by
ten, aud gave her only $1,000, and now
she regards that jury as being quite as
hard hearted as the miserly old lady
who spoke tho promise to the ear only
to break it to the hope.
