Tho KANGAROO.

As showing the force of maternal love
among the lower animals there are few
more pathetic incidents than the fol-
lowing, which comes from Australia
During q severe drought the owner of
country station was sitting one even
ing on the balcony outside his house
when he was surprised to notice kan
garoo lingering about, alternately up
preaching and retiring from the house,
as though half in doubt and fear what
to do. At length she approached the
water pals, and taking young one
from her pouch hold it to the water TO
drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all over
with excitement. for she was but few
feet away from the balcony, where one
of her great foes was sitting, watching
her. The little one having finished
drinking, it was replaced i'll the pouch,
and tho old kangaroo started of ut II
rapid pace.
When the natural timidity of the
kangaroo is taken into account, it will
bo recognized what astonishing bravery
tbis affectionate mother betrayed. -

insisted on his minister of Justice taking

Insisted on his minister OF Justice taxing
measures to suppress this expense.
The minister held consultation with
the president of the tribunal, and the
two agreed that the Office of jailer might
be abolished. The prisoner, required to
guard himself all alone, would not fail
to escape, and this would solve the
question to the satisfaction of all
The jailer was thereupon sent back to
his funily, and one of the under cooks
of the palace was simply required to
carry, morning md evening, food to the
prisoner. But that gentleman made no
attempt to recover his liberty.
One day indeed when they had failed
to provide him with nourishmcnt he
coolly presented himself to claim it, and
henccforth it was his custom, i'll order
10 save the cook journey, to come at
meal hours and eat with the servants of
the palace, with whom he had become
friendly.
After breakfast he would take stroll
as far as Monte Carlo, Occasionally he
would enter the Casino and risk few
francs ut play. When he won, he would
treat himself to good dinner ut one of
the leading hotels, then he would re-
turn to his prison and carefully lock the
door from the inside
He never slept out IL single night.
= The situation was becoming difficult,
not for the condemned man, but for his
judges.
Once more the court assembled, and
it was decided that they should invite
the criminal to depart from the states
of Monaco.
On this decision being communicated
to him he merely replied:
~ perceive you are joking. Come,
now. Why should go away, /, indeed?
/ have no means of living. I have no
longer any family. What do you wish
me to do? 1 was condemned to death.
You didn't execute me. said nothing.
Then Twas condemned to imprisonment
for life and handed over to u jailer. You
deprived me of my jailer. Still said
nothing.
"Now you ask me to get ont of the
country. No, thank you. am prison
er, your prisoner, judged and condemned
by you. l am carrying out my punish
ment faithfully. Here STOP"
The supreme court was dumfounded.
The prince flew into terrible rage and
ordered them to act.
They applied themselves diligently
to delibcrating.
The outcome was it was decided they
should offer the prisoner pension of
600 francs a year to live in another
country.

Plain Spoken.

1t is said that some of the sitters
to Nollekens, tho celebrated sculptor,
were charmed by the downright
bluntnoss of his compliments, which
We're so evidently free from all in
territorial flattery.
One day he was modelling the head
of lady of rank when she forgot
herself, changed her position and
assumed look of great haughtiness,
which displeased the sculptor.
Don't look so soornful, madam" {"
he said bluntly. "You will spoil my
bust, and you're a very fine woman.
! think it will make one of my best. I"
At another time he said to u sitter
who had q cast in one eye, PRAY
look the other way, madam, that I
may get rid of that shyness in your
eye, which, though not disagreeable
in life, is unusual in art"
At one time he had had for sit
ter q woman of great beauty, but of
an extremely nervous and inpatient
temperament. During her sittings
she constantly changed her position,
and with each change of position her
expression varied.
At last Nollekens' patience gave
way.
Madam" he cried unceremo-
piously, what does it matter how
handsome you arc if you will not sit
still till have modelled you?"
The sitter smiled with gratified
vanity, and much to the sculptor s
amazement was almost as quiet as a
lay figure during the remainder of
her sittings.-Youth's Companion.
