the child is thrown before them, or are

carnlYorous instinct is awakened; so they
amuse themselves by simply licking the

vegetable oil) of the infant, and thus it

odorr OF the wolf cubs, after which the
mother wolf will not modest it. In little
time the infant begins to feel the pangs
OF hunger, and. hearing the cubs sucking,
soon follows their example. Now, the
adoption is complete, all fear of harm to
the child from wolves has gone, and the
toster-mother will guard and protect it as
though 1t were of her own flesh and blood.
Children recovered from wolves at differ
ent times have been identified by their
parents through birthmarks and other
means. | have never heard or read OF a
girl wolf child having been found. The
reason for this may be that they have soon
broken down under the strain of so terri
bic an existence and have perished in the
Jungle, where the stronger male child has
survived. Their mode of progression is on
all fours-not, as a rule, on the hands and
feet, but on the knees and elbows The
reason the knees are used is to be ac-
counted for by the fact that, owing to the
great length of the human leg and thigh
in proportion to the length of the arm, the
knee would naturally be brought to the
ground, and the instep and top of the toes
would be used, instead of the sole and heel
Of the almost inhexibIe foot. Why the
elbow should be employed instead of the
hand is less easy to understand, but prob
ably it is better suited to give support to
the head and fore part of the body.
Some of these poor waits have been re-
covered after spending ten or more years
in the fellowship OF wolves, and, though
wild and savage at first, have in time be-
come tractable in some degree. They are
rarely seen to stand upright unless TO look
around, and they gnaw bones in the man.

forearms and hands, while snarling and
swapping at anybody who approaches too
near. The wolf child has little except its
outward form to show that it is a human
being without a soul. 1t is fearful and
terrible thing, and hard to understand
that the mere fact of child's complete
isolation from its own kind should bring it
to such state of absolute degradation. OF
course they speak no language, though
some in time have learned to make known
their wants by few signs.-Badminton

WOLF CHILDREN.
Live in the Dens of Wolves and Share
Their Prey.

A iemadar told me that when he was
lad he remembered going with others to
see wolf child which had been netted.
Some time after this, while staying in an
up-country place called Shaporeooundie, in
East Bengal, it was my fortune to meet an
old Anglo Indian gentleman who had been
in the Indian civil service for upward of
thirty years, and had travelled about dur.
Jug most of that time, and from him I
learned all / wanted to know of wolf
children, for he not only knew OF several
cases. but had actually seen and examined
near Agra a child which had been re-
covered from the wolves. The story of
Romulus and Remus, which all school
bows and the vast m ajority of grown-up
people regard as myth, appears in a
different light when one studies the ques-
ton of wolf children, and ascertains how
it comes to BASS that boys are found living
on the very best terms with such treach-
er Gus and rapacious animals as wolves,
sleeping with them in their dens, sharing
the raw flesh of deer and kids which the
she wolf provides, and, in fact, leading in
all essentials the actual life of wolf.
A young she wolf has a litter of cubs,
and after time her instinct tells her that
they will require flesh food. She steals out
at night in quest of prey. Soon she espies

which incloses the compound, or ''un.
guah," OF poor villager. She enters,
| doubtless in the hope of securing a hid,
and while prowling about inside looks into
a hut where woman and infant are
soundly sleeping In a moment she has
pounced on the child, and is out of reach
before it's cries can attract the villagers.
Arriving safely at her den under the rocks
she drops the little one among her cubs. AT
this critical time the fate OF the child hangs
in the balance Either it will be immedi-
ately torn to pieces and devoured, or in
most wonderful way remain in the cave
unharmed. In the event of escape the
fact may be accounted for in several ways.

SPLENDID ITALY.

Brave and Patriotic Sons Respond to the
Appeal for Millions of Francs.
A telegram from Rome states that the
Italian loan of 140, 100000 francs has been
covered fifteen times. The greater part of
the subscriptions were made in Rome and
Milan.
The editor of the San Francisco LItalia,
commenting on this, says:
When the day which followed the battle of
Adua showed the sad necessity of thinking of
a loan in order to vindicate the honor of our
arms, numerous capitalists and bankers in
Berlin and Paris offered the Italian Govern
ment the needed money. 1t is impossible to
deny that this was an act of sympathy and
confidence; that if the generous offers were
made in the hope of doing q good stroke of
business, it is nevertheless true that this
security and hope of doing, good business was
an act of confidence, and showed faith in the
financial future and in the economy of Italy.
But the italian Government did not think it
necessary to accept these offers, for it wished
to make an appeal only to the capitalists OF its
own country. 1t did well. The credit bonds
of 14O millions voted by the Parliament to
meet the expenses of the continued Campaign
in Africa have been covered fifteen times.
That means that in a few days the Italians

He Pronounced His Own Name "Na-

Among the recent historians of the Ma
poleon1c legend none has been more pains
taking than Frederic Mason. A new work
by this author, Napoleon Inconnu" (the
Unknown Napoleon), consists of two
heavy volumes, in which the first twenty
four years of the Corsican's life (from 1869
to 1852 pass beneath NJ. Masson's micro
scope.
NJ Mason says that Napolean was not
bright scholor, one reason for this being
that he was so ignorant of French. Even
his own name he pronounced with such an
Italian accent, "Napoiglione, that his
comrades nicknamed him "La paille au
nez," which French phrase has much the
same sound and means, freely translated,
"straw nose"
ut has been argued by Napoleon's de-
tractors" says NJ. Mason, "that he had
no love OF country; that he was not a
Frenchman in spirit. 1t is hard to see
how he could have been. Imagine a child
born in Alsace or Lorraine in 1771, rudely
taken in 1880 and placed in a Prussian
military school, educated at the expense
OF the Emperor of Germany, and destined
to wear sword as a German officer, not
because be had chosen that particular pro-
fession. but because it was the only one

A Story About Phil Sheridan.

In a letter to the editor, Major Edmond
G. Fechet of the Sixth Cavalry saws:
'Some time ago l heard the following
story of General P. H. Sheridan from
former officer Of the Third Mich
igan Cavalry. 1t seems that when
the regiment first went out it was
without colonel, and the officers
had an idea that they would like an
officer of the regular army TO fill the va
eancy. At this time the regim ent was in
st. Louis, and hearing that regular Off
Ger by the name of Sheridan was in the
city, and that he wanted the command of
a regiment, a committee was appointed to
go to the city and see him, or, as
the narrator expressed it, to take
Sheridan's measure. On the return of the
committee the officers assembled to hear
it's report, which was as follows: well.
We went up and saw Mr.. Sheridan. He is
a short, red-faced Irishmen, and don't
seem to amount to much. We do not
think he would do for colonel of our regi.
ment.' the gentleman who told me thi s
story gave the names of other officers OF
