An Obstinate Dog.

A Massachusetts gentleman has a
large dog, a cross between an English
mastiff and a st. Bernard, which is
very fond of killing cats. Indeed, 1T is
practically impossible to keep cat at
the stable, so fond is Karl Of destroy
ing them. He has been whipped and
chained up. but though in general he
is well behaved, he cannot IN this re-
spect be brought to reason. Whenever
Karl kills cat, which happens every
week or two, the groom is in the habit
of digging a grave and then making
the dog bring the body of poor puss to
the spot. Karl takes the bocy of his
victim to the place, which has now be-
come quite populous cemetery, and
while the grave is being dug he lies be-
side it, licking the cat all over, as II
preparing her for burial. When the
grave is ready he invariably gives puss
a vigorous nip on the spine, as II to
make sure that she is really finished,
and then, taking her by the back OF
the neck, he gravely drops her into
the hole prepared for her. When al
this is over he follows the groom to
the stable to be whipped He knows
what is coming, and evidently accepts
it as necessary part of the process OF
killing cat, but it does not in the
least prevent him from disposing o.
the next pussy which is brought into
the stables. Youths Companion.

Fecundity of Sea- Fish.

The degree of fertility varies to an
extraordinary extent among certain
fishes, and according to- the sizes of the
individual. The ling produces greater
number of eggs than any other fish
twenty to thirty millions being an or
binary average among medium-sized
and large specimens. On the other
hand, the pipe-fish brings forth each
season only few hundreds, the eggs
being taken charge of by the male,
which carries them about in compart-
ment situate on it's under surface. The
cod produces from two or three tc
seven or eight millions of eggs; the
haddock from two or three hundred
thousand to nearly a million. In the
herring the number ranges from about
twenty to about fifty thousand, the
average for about sixteen specimens
examined being over thirty thousand
showing a considerable greater fe
cundity than has been generally sup
posed. Among flat-fsh the most fertile
is the turbot, with from three or foul
to nine or ten million eggs, and, thu
least so. the long rough dab, whici
produces from about thirty 70 siyt.

ITALY's LONE MAIDENs.
The Women Deserted Bec 'use the Men
Come to America.

The Women Deserted Fec iuse the Men
Come to America.
The women in several provinces of
italy are sorrowful because so many OF
the men born in those provinces are
rushing to America. In some places
about the only men to be found are
those who are too old to go away. A
large quota of the younger men are
taken for the army, and their brothers
are far from home The sisters and the
mothers in these provinces are for
saken. In the twelve months that ended
with June, the Italians who landed at
this port numbered 70,776, of whom less
than one-fourth, or only 1889, were
women. There is a heavy rush of Ital-
ians TO Brazil as well as to this country,
and there, also, more than three-fourths
of the newcomers from Italy are labor
ing men.
The local authorities in some of the
Italian provinces are disturbed by the
exodus of the male population, and arc
| striving to find some way OF putting {
stop to it. One proposition which ha!
| met with favor is that the governmeE
shall establish agricultural colonies il
those regions of Italy, such as th'
islands of Sicily and SARDINIA, wher
there is yet much uncultivated land, ant
shall thus do something to relieve tn
distress that exists among the rura
| population. The main obstacle in tn
way of this project is that much none
would be needed to carry it out, and tn
italian government is very hard up fo
money!. Y. Sun.
