just an Incident.

A New Yorker who looks sharply after
his interests had a small yacht towed TO a
Brooklyn basin for some repairs. He went
over that evening and found that nothing
had been done 1t was dark, after 9
O'Clock, but he promptly went to the house
of one of the owners of the shipyard. The
man himself came to the door. In his
arms he carried baby. The caller want
ed to know why the matter had not been
properly attended to-why somebody had
not been put to work at once to strip tho
yacht and to do several other things. He
was pretty severe about 1t too. The ship
yard man apologized for his remissness.
MY baby" he said, lis i'll, and 1 was
careless, am afraid, about carrying out
your directions, but I'll go right down to
the yard now and attend to the matter
myself. You see, 1 came up here, he
added, explaining still further, Ito see my
baby and left the work in the hands of
some one else. I'm sorry you are dis
pleased.
IAN right" said the yachtsman. less
sharply please go down as soon as you
can"
The next day when the New Yorker
went to the shipyard he found everything
satisfactory.
Il see you came down last night and
attended to it yourself" he said, and then
he asked more pleasantly, How is your
babyI''
''She died shortly after left the house
for the yard last night" answered the
other in low voice.

Milk Giving Male Animals.

DR.. C. Hart Merriam, chief Of the divi.
sion of ornithology and mammalogy in
connection with the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, once made some in
teresting observations on the milk giving
faculty of the males of western species
of rabbit called Baird's hare. The publ
cation of these odd facts revived an old ac-
count of he goat which regularly gave
milk. According TO the famed st. Fran
els Xavier, in the year 1876, in the island
of Amboya, he found "a he goat giving
suck to his young kids with his own milk.
He had one breast, which gave every day
as much milk as would fill a basin" Isle OF
basin not mentioned). This, " the sanity

AN klSATIAk LEGEND.
A Peasant of Alsace Explains Peculiarly
to Prussian Officer.

to a Prussian Officer.
There is an anecdote related in French
provincial paper, which, if true, reflects
credit on the smartnesS OF the Alsatian
peasants, or, at all events. of the particu-
lar one whose neat reply TO Prussian In
terlocutor is recorded therein. Ii appears
that in the church of Wintzenheim, a vii
lage in Alsace, there is TO be seen an enor-
nous silver mouse suspended near the al
tar Recently the church was visited by
Prussian officer, who, puzzled TO under
stand the Specification attached TO the
mouse, sought an explanation from vii
lager present in the building. The latter
explained the legend thus:
More than a century ago the whole OF
the countryside was overrun with mice,
which invaded the houses, the fields, even
the beds of the inhabitants who We're I'M
able TO sleep, owing TO the attacks made
upon them by these unwelcome intruders-
Little children were especially tormented,
and the village schoolmaSter, panied at
seeing numbers Of disfigured faces round
him, had what, according to the legend,
turned out to be happy inspiration. de
called to mind the Israelites, the serpents
whose bites were deadly and the means tax
en- by Moses TO deliver them from the rep
tiles. Rejecting ON this, he conceived the
idea of endeavoring TO rid the locality OF
the plague of mice by casting huge
mouse in silver, the sum required for tho
purpose being raised by taxing the in
habitants according to their means When
sufficient sum of money had been OBJ
tanned, the project being carried out, the
silver mouse was suspended TO the wall OF
the church, and from that day not a mouse
was to be met with in field or house.
The Prussian officer, when the peasant
concluded, INDUCED in hearty laugh at
the expense of the simple villager and in
quired with amazement whether it was
possible that in the present enlightened
age there were TO be found people to be-
lieve implicitly in such superstitious nom
sense. ''Ah, sir, - retorted his companion,
I'VE are far from believing implicitly in
the story, for if we thought such miracle
had really taken place we should long
before now have given our last sou to make
German in gold and should have hung
him up in the church in order to get rid of
all the rest"
