Geo. T. Angeles Address to the

Public schools of Boston.
l once saw a little boy take a
splendid medal in Paris, France. in
this way: On his way to school
with his little dinner basket he came
across a poor, half-starved dog, and
he pitied the dog SO that he just
opened his dinner basket and gave
the dog all his dinner, and went
without himself.
The French society for the pre-
ventiOn of cruelty to animals heard
of it and awarded him medal, and
| was present at the annual meet
ing of the society, in the great hall
of the Sorbonne, when the medal
was presented.
When the little fellows name
was called and he went forward to
get the medal, the whole vast audi
ence of French men and women
stood up and cheered him.
Now whether you ever get q
medal Or not, l hope you will al
ways do to every half.starved dog
or cat, or other creature you may
happen to meet, exactly what you
would like to have done if YOU
were half starved yourself.
When it comes time for you to &c
to town in the summer, and the
question is what to do with the Ole
family cat, do just what you would
like to have done if you were the
old family cat yourself.

There seems to be but one thing
to say to young persons who are
just getting their first chance to
read and to older ones who are
changing their tastes or forming
new ones. That is to read with
something like industry and perse-

So, if they will read systemati-

A Lazy BOYS lnYeat.On,

The only authentic boy inventor known
to fame owes his position to sheer lazi.
ness. The Newcomer Engine, which
preceded Watts moro perfect machine
required boy to alternately turn tive
cocks, one Of which let the steam into
the cylinder, and the other admitted the
Jet of cold water to condense it when it.
work was done. One Humphrey Potter,
lad of about fourteen, was employed
to do this work, and, getting tired ,oi
its monotony, he began thinking how he
could make the engine do it for him
He hit upon the idea of connecting the
cocks with the moving beam of the engine
by means OF strings attached to the 'lev.
ers which opened and shut them. II,
ingenuously called this device "the Scog.
gan" which is north country for "lazy
boy" This device not only made tn.
engine automatic, but decreased its speed
from six to fifteen strokes a minute
The strings were afterwards replaced
with rods by IIenry Bcighton, an cnyi.
neer, who managed to take 10 him.

A Missouri Albin, Child.

The child is foiiF yeats Oil AMI bright
above the average. Its head is unusually
large and covered with a mass OF kinky,
white hair. The eyes arc out of pro.
portion, very large aud resemble the cr.
tics Of tho residents Of the Celestial
Kingdom. They are bright red, or
more properly, pink, and are continuity
rolling in their sockets. The most re.
markable thing in connection with the
monstrosity Is that both father and
mother are colored people as black
as ink. The child was born in
Dalton, Mo-, four years ago, but the
parents have resided here for some time.
The family name is Gin9ham. The
mother is proud of her offspring and
takes great pleasure in relating its history.
Visitors oome and go oil day to see the
object OF curiosity, and it is the talk of
the neigilborhood. Many physicians
have visited AMI examined the child aud
they pronounce it most remarkable
case, bathing medical science. The col
ored neighbors do not regard the sub
ject in the same light as their white
brethren and few OF them will 60 near
the house. They regard the child with
an evil eye and hence keep them away.
It Is surely freak of Dame Nature, un.
explainable and mysterious. -Moberly

Sheep Cause an Indian War.

The report OF Lieutenant Robert E. L.
Niche on the recent Navajo trouble In
Arizona has been received at army head
quarters, aud it fully discloses the cause
Of the disturbance.
The trouble was caused by the killing
Of Mormon settler named Lot Smith at
Tuba City, which is IN the northwest
corner Of Arizona on the Little Colorado
River. Indians have been driving their
stock to this river for water, and re.
Gently Smith located on lard on the
bank of the river and fenced it in. A
Navajo taking his sheep to water drove
within aud across the iuclosure. Smith
was in his cabin at the time and he rau
out and ordered the Indian to take the
sheep out. The Indian sent his squaw
aud Iwo boys to drive out the sheep.
While this was being done, Smith, very
much enraged, commenced firing on the
sheep. He killed number Of them and
wounded Others. The Indian retaliated
by firing into Smiths cattle. This SO
iufuriated Swith that he commenced
firing on tho squaw and her children,
whereupoc the Navajo 6rel at Smith
and killed him. He did not de i'm
mediately, but before he expired he ex.
onerated the Indian from all blame, and
no warrant has been sworn ont against
him.-Los Angeles (Cal.) Express.

Few Survive Rattlesnakc Bites.

"Out of Q thousand people bitten by
rattlesnakes," said E. ID. Bourne, of
Palm Springs, to us the other day, says
the Pomona (Cal.) Progress, ~ am suro
that not fifty ever really recover. So far
as know, and have posted myself
thoroughly upon the subject for over
twenty years on the desert aud in ArI-
zons aud Texas, there is no known cure
for Iattlcsnake poison, in spite of the fact
that many people have said that they
were cured by whisky.
"You may depend on it that wheu
man says he is cured of a rattlesnake
bite, though not necessarily liar, hc is
at least laboring under a misapprehen.
sion of the facts. There is small snake
similar to the rattlesnake in appearance,
whose poison is not so venomous. aud
colored persons bitten by it place lime
upon the spot or else drink enough
whisky to counteract the poison. Whs-
ky, II taken in large quantity, goes di-
rectly to the blood aud counteracts tho

an object almost twice as far distant as
it is long.
IA friend Of mine, ex County Clerk
George English, was riding along in th,
saddle near Yuma, Arizona, when big
rattler lying in the road leaped at him
as he passed. 1t stuck to his bootleg,
driving one of its fangs clear through
the thick leather of his boot throu !h
his trousers, just escaping the flesh. 1t
required considerable kicking to shake
that snake of, and when he was finally
got rid Of he started in pursuit. Ny
friend had faced bullets in the army VITA
nonchalance, but his hair stood on end
when he saw that snake coming, and
he jammed spurs to his nag and didn't
stop until he had gone quarter stretch.
He knew as we'll as what an awfu
thing rattlesnake poison is. He lost two
men in one month from rattlers. My
ranch ia literally full of rattlesnakes, aud
only last week my hands killed twenty

An Ancient Saxon Sunper.

The supper that was served in the hall
OF Cedric the Saxon, a. described by
Scott In "Ivanhoe," aud which was par
taken of by the Saxon proprietor, fair
Lady Rowena, and the naughty Templar,
we dare say compared very we'll with the
ordinary fare enjoyed by those of the
middle and higher classes in the Twelfth
Century. "Swine's flesh, dressed in
several modes, appeared on the lower
part of the boarl, as also that of fowls.
deer, goats and hares, an l various kinds
Of fish, together with huge loaves and
cakes of bread, aud suudry confections
made Of fruits aud honey. The smaller
sorts of wild fowl,g of which there was
abundance. were not served up in
platters, but brought in upon small
wooden spits or breaches, aud offered by
the pages aud domestics, who bore them
to each guest in succession, who cut
from them such portion as he pleased

aud marked the beginning Of his work
on the North Side. Seeing the dis

district, where, with three other youn
men whom he persuaded to JON him, he
gave himself to relief and mission work.
Here on North avenue, in a German theatre

tip.
= DIR. Robson says: sIn the case of
oil hunting dogs, such as foxhouuds, or
wolves which pack stogether, the tail is
carried aloft, aud b vesS sSS'free in move,
ment. 1t is also frequently rendered
moro conspicuous by the tip being white,
and this Is almost invariably the case
when the hounds are of mixed color.
When ranging the long grass of the
prairie or jungle the raised tips Of the
tails would often be all that an iudivid.
ual member of the band would see of his
fellows. There is no doubt that hounds
habituslly watch the tails Of those in
front Of them when drawing covert.
II faint drag is detected suggestive of
the presence Of fox, but scarcely sur-
ficient to be sworn to vocally, tho tail of
the finder is at once set in motion, and
the warmer the scent the quicker does it
wag. Others seeing the signal instantly
Join the first, and there is an assemblagc
Of waving tails before even the least
whimper is heard. Should the drag
prove doubtful one the hounds separ-
ate again, and the waving ceases, but if
1t grows stronger when followed up, the
wagging becomes more and moro EN-.
phatic, until one after another the hounds
begin to whine and give tongue and
stream of in Indian file along the line
of scent. When the pack is at full cry
upon q strong scent the tails cease to
wave, but are carried aloft in full view."
The moment when the dog most en-
joys life is the moment when he sights
game. That moment is the time that he
wags his tail most vigorously, in order
to announce his discovery to his fellow
dogs. In this way, by the habit of as
sociation, he got to wagging his tail
whenever he was pleased, aud the more
pleased he Is the more vigorously he
wags his tail, so that the wagging of the
dogs tail, under the influence of pleasure.
BILE emotion, can be traced directly to
the time when the dog used his tail as
signal of the discovery Of his prey

A CULINARY MAxEsBIFr.

1t is said that some Of the most valu-
.ble discoveries have been made by acci-
lent, and there is every reason to believe
he statement. Not long since, an mex.
erienced housekeeper found herself in
dilemma from which she extracted
erself in rather convenient and orig
nal fashion. Being left alone in the
house for few days, she was somewhat
lisconcerted by the arrival OF unexpected
guests. 1t was necessary to prepare a
,asty breakfast in order that they might
get an early train; the oatmeal, there
lore, was partly cooked the night before
and was set on the back of the kitchen
.ange to be ready for the morning. As
often under such circumstances, the pro.
portions were somewhat out of order,
md when the breakfast time caufe the
oatmeal was little better than porridge.
Jrowding the fire seemed to do no good,
md as there was no time for cooking
anything else, she ventured an expert
ment. Wheat flour was sifted into the
dish and stirred rapidly to prevent
Jumps. After moments cooking, 1t
was served, and, as might be imagined,
with a good deal of doubt as to results.
But the unanimous verdict of the party
:hat it was the best oatmeal they had
ever tasted set doubt at rest aud taught

THE CocKRoACH PEST.

Cockroaches are somewhat Of nul-
,ance when they become too numerous
about house, but they are at the same
time useful in destroying bedbugs,
especially in ships aud in the tenements
of our large cities. There are several
species known under the general name
of cockroach, but perhaps the most COM
mon is the Blatta orientalis, a native of
the East Indies, but now pretty we'll dis
tributed over the world, and perhaps
this is the one of which you complain,
but we are not certain in the absence of
specimens. In the Oriental cockroach
the females have only rudimentary wings,
end those of the males are slightly
shorter than the body. This species
may be destroyed by placing phosphorus
paste in their hiding places or in the
rooms frequented by them at night. A
good way to wage war upon this pest il
to put little of the paste on bits OF
paper and lay these about the room
where the reaches are most abundant
and late in the evening, after the family
have retired. Then let some one get up
early and gather up the poison and sweep
up the dead cockroaches which will be
found lying about on the floor. The
Kitchen is the room usually most fire.
quented by the reaches; consequently is
the best one in which to poison them.
Repeat the operation as long as any dead
cockroaches are to be found. As the
young reaches will be Matching out as
long as there are any eggs left, it will be
necessary to use little poison once a
week for a month or lonper Wo hava
known badly infested houses to be en-
tirely cleared of these pests by the use
of phosphorus paste in the way we have
described. Most druggists keep this
paste on sale, for it is largely used tor
destroying rats, mice aud other vermiu.
