THE CRITIC.

He Was Quick to See the One Thing Lack
ing in a Noble Deed.
Beware of the habit of petty criti-
cism. If it takes possession OF you 1t
will make you disagreeablc, uncomfor-
table and laughing-stock. Such was
the lamentable case of Cyrus Small.
His time was largely spent in discov.
ering the faults and shortcomings OF
things animate and inanimate, while
Mrs. Small, as it s"emed, was equally
vgilant in attempting to bring for
ward something of which she could
say: "Therc. you can't pick any flaws
in that"
Once she thought this happiness
would be hers. A certain man in the
town inherited large wealth under pc
| culiar circumstances. 1t was his un
der the law, but when the court award
ed it to him he stood up and said that
in view of all the facts in the case, hi
believed that the property belonged O
right to another heir. His action wa
generally looked upon as noble one
Mrs. Small was loud in her expires
sions of praise.
Eyes, l know" said her HUSBAND
"twas fine thing. Few men woul
| have done it; and that's why he felt
awkward to stand up there and sa
, what he did. He showed that he fe
embarrassed by the way he stood
"Cyrus Small! should hope yo
wouldn't find fault with his attltuc
. when he was doing such a gran
! thing

Tho Mink and the Duck.

Thomas Hennessy, of Whitneyvllle'
while recently haying in the meadow;
heard a futtering in the brook, ana
upon investigation found mink hold
ing duck under water near some over
hanging alders. He made splash on
the water and the mink abandoned the
duck, which came to the surface and
feebly tried to swim. The fowl, which
was easily caught, soon expired from
wound in the neck, Mr.. Hennessy
placed the duck upon the grass with'r
few feet of his work, and while ye'
meditating upon the prospects OF ricl
stew from his unexpected capture hi
attention was again called by the agi
! tation of the water. He turned in sea
son to see the mink in full possession
of his bird. The thief was hotly pul
sued, but he hung to his prey and des
terously evaded every effort at capture
and finally mysteriously disappeare

BOYS AT HOME.
A Familiar Talk with Mothers About sun
day Evenings and Books.

day Evenings and Books.
. The question of Sunday evening, its
allowances and restrictions of liberty
to young people, is one for strictly in
dividual decision. But the customs OF
America, despite the ever-increasing
leaven of foreign immigration. are in
favor of housekeeping, of family re-
union, of abstinence from the social
observances of the week. In many |
families, known to the public for their
| lavish entertainment of smart society,
the Sunday habits of their forefathers
are still observed with scruple, and the
children are allowed to accept no in
vitations to pass the evening abroad.
| Whether boy should be encouraged
to attend dancing school or class is a
query custom among us has pretty
generally decided to answer in the af-
tirmative. These schools and classes
are, however, most often held in the
afternoon of Friday, and, for the older
set among the Juveniles, occur between
? eight and half-past ten or eleven on
. Saturday evenings. They are always

Beside the regular tanners OF wild

These are the men who live among the
wild beasts; who go into their cages
every day, and sleep within few feet

McClure's magazine, says that from
living thus in an atmosphere of perpet-

A DOGS QUEER FRIENDSHIP.
The Animal Deserts His Master for One
whom lie IInd Defended.


Whom He Had Defended.
r. IL often said that n benefit con-
ferred does more to promote friendship
than favor received. II you would
cultivate friendly feeling toward an
other. do him kindness; if you would
secure his lasting friendship, get him
to do you a kindness There is some
truth, at any rate, in this view OF the
case; and it applies even to dogs, as Is
shown strikingly by a story related In
"Gold, Sport and Coffee-Planting IN
Mysore," by Mr.. r. II. Elliot.
Mr.. A. told me that he once wound
ed a tiger which afterward sprang on
him. knocked him down and seized him
by the hapd and arm. With Mr.. A.
was large dog, which at once at
tackled the tiger, and diverted him
from Mr.. A. After driving off the dog
the tiger returned to Mr.. A., and COM
menced worrying him, but was again
attacked by the dog.
The dog was driven off three or foul
times, but the tiger was all the whit
losing strength, and finally died. The
dog was uninjured. Now comes th'
r curious part of the story.
: The dog, which was not affectionate
belonged to Mr.. AS brother, and pre-
= viously had taken no interest in any
one but his master. Now, however, l.
refused to- go home with his master
but stuck closely to the wounded maj
- and when some carbolic acid, whlc
caused pain, was applied by Mr.. A.
u l. brother to the wound, the dog bega
vo to growl and show other signs OF dl
~ pleasure.
lie would not allow anyone to con
= near Mr.. A. except his own speci
servant, and lay under the bed wi
= his nose sticking out, keeping clio
ter ter guard.
$ a When Mr.. A. was carried to the dc
'' tor, some thirtytive miles away, t
- dog went, too, and on the doctors
f. plyinr carbolic acid and setting t
ins bones, which caused the patient to C
be out, the dog at once seized the doct
:. by the leg.
= In about three months Mr.. A. "
nas 1as quite cured. After that the dog Il
his all interest in him, and returned to
'oT master; and if he met MIR. A.

t. recognition Of him by the faintest W
