washing BOYS by Wholesale.

There $ a large board school in London
i'm which the managers have devised a very
ingenious mode OF washing the dirtiest
Of boys very eXpeditiously and efectuaIly.
Each boy stands upright in a small box,
from the sides Of which numerous sprays
u warm water play upon all parts Of
his body. Three minutes are allowed
him for thoroughly sOaping himself,
the sprays OF water closely following
the soap. At the end Of that time he steps
forth to rub himself with the usual coarse,
dry towels. In this way it is found that
each scholar in school OF 800 boys can
have a thorough cleansing once week.
Altogether there is reported 10 be marked
improvement Of late in the cleanliness OF
the school children, at least as regards thei
persons. The cleanliness Of their clothing,
unfortunately, is not equally marked; the
.'blacks" OF the London atmosphere are "thc

What "A Dog Did.

The contractors engaged on the Boston
U. 81 water-wOrks had a valuable cart
horse injured some time ago. The animal
was led home to the stable, where about
fifty horses were generally kept. The hos
tiers had a water spaniel, who for some
months had beer among the horses in the
stable, living on terms of great intimacy
with them. Immediately after the disabled
horse was led in he lay down and began to
exhibit signs Of great distress.
The spaniel at once ran to the horse and
commenced fawning around him, licking
the poor animals face and IN various other
ways manifesting his sympathy with the
sufferer.
The struggle and groans of the horse
being continued, the dog sought his master
and drew his attention to the wounded ami
NAL. and showed great satisfaction when he
saw his master employed in bathing the
wounds and otherwise ministering to his
wants.
The hOstler continued his care of the
horse until late hour Of the night. Forty
eight hours after the horse was injured the
faithful dog had not left the stable DAY or
night for a minute, not even to eat; and
from his appearance IL was believed that be
had scarcely slept at all. He was con-
stantly on the alert. not suffering any one
to come near the horse except those at
tached to the stables and the owner Of the
horse. His whole appearance was one OF
extreme distress and anxiety.
He often laid his head on the horses neck
caressing him and licking around the eyes,
which kindness the poor horse acknowledged
by grateful look and other signs of recOg-
milton.
This fact furnishes a remarkable and
affecting exhibition Of animal kindness, and
should cover with shame the unfeeling men
who beat and abuse their noble and most
useful of animals without stint or TemOrsn,
and are utterly destitute OF sympathy for
the whole brute creatiOn.-New York
World.

An Understanding Reached.

part Of a servant girl which is quite epic IN
that line. The lady, having large house.
and being DESTROYS of running 1t IN GOOD
form. called up her cook each day to the
dining-rOOm, which was on the main moor,
the kitchen being in the basement, am
there gave her her orders for the meals and
OF ler matters connected withe downstairs
work. For a day or two the cook took
he orders with IA rather bad grace, Dut
committed no overt act of instruction.
But presently, one day after the mistress
nad finished her orders, the cook spoke up.
and now, mum, she said. 81 want ye 10
