A Girl Among the Wolves.

The daughter OF the owner of the
nenagerie at Landsburg, Prussia, put
six wolves and a hyena in q large cage
through a performance, when sudden
ly a large wolf jumped on the hyena
and fastened its teeth in its neck as
though he would never pull them out
again. Immediately the other animals
became greatly excited, refusing to
obey the girl any longer. Her father,
seeing the danger, ran into the cage.
With n powerful grip he pulled the
wolf from the hyena and cast him
into u corner. He then belabored the
brutes with his whip as vigorously as
he was able, and succeeded in chasing
them all back into their solitary cages.
Both father and daughter escaped
without a hurt.

One day when the cook vas getting
dinner ready Polly hoped into the
kitchen just as she put . bowl of
cream on the table. Flying on the
edge of the bowl it was overturned.
Cook became enraged at this and seiz-
ing q dipperful OF hot boiling water,
threw it over Polly, scalding him SO
badly that all his feathers dropped of.
For a long time Polly went around Ia
menting the loss of his feathers, but
he never bothered the cook again.
