a sJIall boy got a silver in his foot,
according to to the Herald, and his
mooher expressed her intention OF
putting a poultice on the wound. The

child, objected to the proposed
remedy.

and grandmother, firmly. The ma
lority was two to n against him,
and at bedtime the poultice was
ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted SO stoutly that u
switch was brought into requisltion.
1t was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice, while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was to
stand at the bedside. The boy was
told that if he ''opened his mouth" he
would receive something that would
keep him quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot,
and he opened his mouth.
"You-" he began.
"Keep still" said his mother, shak.
ing her stick, while the grandmother
applied the poultice.
Once more the little fellow opened
mis- mouth.

But the uplifted switch awed him
into silence.
In a minute more the poultice was
firmly in place, and the boy was
tucked in bed.
"Fhere, now," said his mother.
''the old silver will be drawn out, and
Eddie's foot will be all WE'LL"
The mother and grandmother were
moving triumphantly away, when a
shrill voice piped from under the bed
clothes:
you've got it on the wrong foot!"

Latest Dog story.

A correspondent writes to a con.
.temporary-'I can tell you a dog
story that came before my notice,
being present at the time. No doubt
some Of you readers remember the
Angel Hotel. The host had a very
clever dog who used to sit outside Of
the hotel waiting for stray pennies to
buy buns with, and, being a very par
ticular dog as to the quality of the
buns, he always took his money to a
shop where the best bun was sold He
would drop the penny on the floor and
wait until his turn came to be served.
But one day a gentleman who had
been drinking not wisely but too well
took 1t into his head to take a rise out
of the dog, and threw him out Of the
window a bad penny. The dog looked
at the penny with contempt came
straight into the hotel, and gave the
gentleman a severe bite in the calf Of
his leg. I a vouch for this as .

Dead OF Z


One Of the traditions Of Boston Is
that at the anti-slavery meetings,
held before the war, eIoquence was
90 common that no orator, not even
Wendell Phillips, could thrill the
audience, unless his speech was ex-
ceptionally brilliant and original. A
similar remark may be made OF SOL
dlers and their brave deeds. So COM
mon is courage to them that they are
thrilled only by an extraordinary
deed OF daring.
Some years ago an English ship.
the. Birkenhead, filled with women,
children, and soldiers, struck a hid
den rock, and began to sink. The
boats could not save all, and though
the Coast was near, the Intervening
water abounded with sharks.
At the command of their Colonel,
the soldiers formed In line to die.
They saw the boats loaded with wo-
tnen and children 90 of; hut at ''pa-
rade restn they stood on the deck,
Whilst inch BY inch, the drowning ship sans
still under steadfast men.
The civilized world was thrilled BY
the brave deed; but the foremost sol
dier of the day, Wellington, while
heartily praising the discipline OF the
battalion, said not a word OF their
courage. That, from the military
point of view, was what would be ex-
pected of British soldiers. But their
discipline, by which they were en-
abled to stand in rising, surging
waters, without flinching and In UNI
broken ranks, until drowned-that
was worthy Of a com mander's praise.
While the mutinous Sepoys were
attacking Gen. Wheeler's entrench-
ments at Cawnpore, a shot from
their batteries blew up the contents
of q two-wheeled cart, loaded with
cartridges. 1t also set fire to the
woodwork of the cart, which was
SSanding in the place where the En-
glish ammunition was stored.
Both the mutineers and the En-.
glish saw that II the fire was not ex-
tinguished there would loon be q
most disastrous explosion. The Sc
poy batteries, therefore, poured in a
deadly stream of round shot, to pre-
vent the English from putting out
the flames
A young Lieutenant, Delaforse,
unmoyed by the concentrated fire of
shot threw himself under the blaz-
ing carriage, tore away the burning
wood with his hands, and throwing
earth upon the blazing brands, stifed
the fire before it could spread to the
ammunition
That was the sort of deed which
stirred British lungs to hurrah and
British Generals to praise In official
orders 1t is for such deeds that the
Iron Cross of Germany, the French
Cross OF the Legion of Honor, or the
Victoria Cross of England are given.
Each Of the decorations marks the
fact that a soldier has distinguished
himself above his brave comrades.
