The Crow as a seavenger a Fraud.

A curious result of the religious riots
in Bombay has been the exposure of the
hollowness Of the plea that has been put
forth for the crow as a scavenger. Lazy
governments in the east have been wont
to excuse their sanitary shortcomings on
the ground that 1.-The crow, the pariah
dog and the.kite" may be relied upon to
clear away the offal in the streets, but
the smells of Constantinople and Smyrna
have not been observed TO be much the
less because the dogs eat of the offal
thrown from the houses. nor has Jerusa-
lem or Cairo been found TO be any sweet
er from the presence of the mongrels who
destroy the repOse Of visitors.
In like manner the Bombay crow has
failed to justify his ancient reputation.
During the Bombay riots, when the op-
erstions of the city scavengers were
brought to a standsdll, dead vermin and
offal accumulated dinextraordinary in guam
titles in the bazaars and slums of the ma
tive quarters I'LL the city became par
adise for the crows" But the Bombay
crows entirely neglected this opportuni-
ty, and thus have come TO be denounced
as sham sanitarians. London Tele-

The same Kind Of a Fool.

TIE republic Of Madagonia had been

Of the king Of Patsgascar by an officer
called dazie. but one day the Madago-
nian parliament conferred upon him the
superior rank Of dandee. The next day
after being appTised Of his new dignity
he hastened to inform the king Of Pata-
gascar.
"Ah, yes, understand" said the king.

Thoughtfully removing his crown and

The Time Of Con,aIeseence.

Don't worry the sick ones in regard to
what they wish to eat. Fix up some
thing nice and tasty, serve it daintily
and reap the reward that a caprcious
appetite will grant-the reward Of seeing
the eatables disappear merely because
they were pleasant and unexpected
surprise. Next, do not allow every
friendly neighbor to run in and sit for
hours until the flushed cheeks and too
brilliant eyes of the patient tell the story
Of an overdose of company.
Do not let your charge be too eager for
recovery-far better a week or more of
idleness than a precipitate activity that
throws the invalid back once more upon
the sick b5d. BE cheerful always Bright
en- MP the room with gay flowers whose
odor is not too heavy, but never permit
them to remain in the sickroom over
night. Keep your patient tidy and the
bedclothes smooth and cool as possible.
Speak in low tones, walk with soft tread
and be ever watchful against the slight
est indiscretion. To mothers this sort of
nursing comes naturally, but there are
some who must be told, as they err
through lack of that gentle Judgment
that is the secret Of sickroom victories.

Dainty Doggie.

A woman who was robed in dress OF
stylish make, and who showed by. her
air that she was in the circle of the well
to DO, was accompanied by a little pug
dog. The street was, somewhat muddy
from the water that had been layishly
sprinkled upon it by the city's watering
cart. Little puggy ran into the street,
where he saw nice bit of bone, and
even his aristocratic breed and training
could not restrain him from taking al
least few bites Of it. He was inclined
70 bring the choice tidbit to the pave
ment, but his mistress forbade this, so
he dropped the tempting morsel and
skunk on 10 the sidewalk again.
But in puggy's nibblings at the bone
he had muddied his little fiattened out
nose. The woman scolded him as seri-
ously as though he were child. He &C
mOwledged the justness Of the repri.
mand BY dropping his aristocratic head
in a remorseful manner. His mistress

delicate lace edged handkerchief from her
handbag, deliberately wiped dear. naugh-

Incident In a Child's Hospital.

1t was always expected that new pa
dents would cry for at least half day.
Umberto was a rogue who seemed to
take delight in prolonging this period Of
initiation. He was an Italian boy of 8,
with large head, big brown. half won
dering and half roguish eyes, and the
crookedest legs. which made. him wad-
die like a duck. Once it was noticed
that even on the second and third days
after admission some children in his
ward would be crying for home as in
the very beginning-a thing explained
only when the tricks Of this young ras-
cal were discovered. He would watch
until all was quiet and the nurse had
stepped out of the ward for minute on
some duty, and then would call to the
newcomer, Say, say, doan' you wan to
see you' mudday' Whereupon the food
gates would open once more.-Harper's
