Steel Buttons.


The prejudices in favor Of nobility
are very strong in Italy, and though
family connections are priced so highly
there, no man seems ashamed if he has
no family to boast. In "Glimpses of
Italian Society" the author says that
she was astonished to hear well-bred
clergyman say gravely to friend, also
a man eminent for talents and fortune:
Eyes, there is a grand invitation at
such a place tonight, but I don't go be-
cause am not a gentleman; and tho
master desired I would let you know
that it was for no other reason that
you had. not a card, too, my good
friend, for it is an invitation for none
but people of fashion, you see.''
At all this no one stares, no one
laughs; and it is accepted as the proper
thing

at the fine ball Bragadin made in honor
of the season, inquired how I passed

which they esteem beyond the rest as a

WOLVES IN INDIA.

The Voracious Animals Show Almost
Human Cunning i'll Their Plans.
One strongly marked characters
tic common to dogs and wolves is
their skill in trailing and running
down game, in couples or packs.
Such wolf hunt in India is de-
serihed by an English traveller, who
while with his telescope watching a
herd OF antelope feeding in a large
field, observed six wolves evidently
concerning how best to secure their
breakfast.
Having decided on their plan Of
campaign they separated, leaving
one stationary, according to Pearson's
Weekly. Four crept stealthily round
the outer edge of the field, and one
lay in ambush at each corner, while
the sixth crept through a furrow in
the middle of the field, and there lay
down unobserved.
When all were thus posted, the
first wolf suddenly showed himself,
and, charging the antelopes, drove
them right across the great field,
where they were headed off by another
wolf, who chased them in fresh d.
rection, while the first hunter. lay
down to rest. No sooner had the
frightened herd reached the further
end of the plain, than up sprang a
fresh wolf, who again turned them
and took up the pursuit, leaving his
painting accomplish to take breath
preparatory to another chase.
Thus the luckless, terrified ante
! lopes were driven from corner to
corner of the great plain, till .stnpi-
| fed and exhausted they crowded to-
! gether, galloping in ever-lessening
circles around the center of the field,
where the sixth wolf lay hidden, ev-
+! identity waiting till they should
be SO effectually tired out as to fall
an easy prey. e. SIS zse< =

human presence, and just as he was
