THE eRowN-UP LITTLE GIRL.


She was sitting up straight in straight
back chair;
There wasn't a snarl in her shining hair,
There wasn't a speck on her dainty dress,
And her rosy face was full Of distress.
When drew near to this maiden fair,
She suddenly rumpled her shining hair,
And dropping down '1n heap" on the floor,
,Uplifted her voice in a wall most sore.
'.Now, what is tho matter, my pretty
maid?"
I'm all grown upr she dolefully said,
!s'And I'm lonesome, as lonesome as lone

'"There's Little Boy Blue, who used to creep
Under our haystack and fall asleep;
He isn't my friend since mother dear
Did up my hair in this twist so queerl
And the dog and the fiddle, they left me,
When the baby into a woman grew;
The dish has hidden away with the spoon.
And the COW has stayed at the back Of tho

The little old woman who swept the sky
Is caught in her cobwebs high and dry:
And Jack and his beanstalk I cannot find
Since I began to improve my mind.

CANINE FRIENDSHIPS.
Ho1ne Curious Instances of Affection and
Gratitude.

Gratitude.
Friendly alliances between animals
IRE often OF most singular kind. Nat
urally enough, dogs frequently make
friends and companions among their
bwn species. although the large share
of personal liberty they enjoy is the
cause of their contracting inexplicable
intimacies. A close friendship and I'M
derstanding between dogs and horses
is apparently moro frequent than any
eimilar relationship between indi-
Siduals of the same species. Dogs, how
ever, are fond of queer company, and go
out of their way In search of it.
The numerous friendships formed
between dogs and geese, and even
poultry in general, are quite remark
able. It Is not generally recognized that
the goose is bird of extraordinary
sagacity, and this mutual regard OF fur
and feather may proceed on an I'M
Outstanding which overrldes the dis
tinctions Of race. The species of goose
known as "gray-leg" is especially re-
markable for its strong attachments to
dogs One which was rescued by
mastiff from an attack by fox showed
a consciousness of its obligations and O
desire to return them which were
touching in their obvious feelings. The
goose entirely abandoned the society OF
its kind, roasted in the dogs kennel and
followed it in its daily wanderings over
large farm and through the neighbor-
ing village. The dog happening to fall
il, the goose would not leave him night
or day, and would, to all appearance,
have been starved had not a pan of
corn been placed for it every day near
the kennel.
Dogs and fowls also enter into AMIGA
bic relations for reasons much less np-
parent to onlooIers than to themselves.
"A hen and q retriever became so strong
iy attached that the former laid her
cgrs and Matched her chickens in his
kennel; on the hen leaving or entering
her nest the dog would move from the
threshold to make room, while any at
tempt to touch the eggs in her absence
vas net by his immediate disapproba-
ton. There is also on instance Of q
quaint friendship which gradually
grew up between tame rock and
bulldog, the dog never appearing hap
pier than when the rools was seated on
his back.
Motives of benefcence lead to many
apparently perverted friendships. Cats
md dogs ore often known to carry their
young to q foster mother, who for
friendships sake, or from liberal ma
ternal love, accepts the additional duties
thus imposed upon her. But still more
remarkable are those cases In which
foster mothers, overcoming all scruples
and antipathies of natural instincts, do
not hesitate to accept the charge OF
young creatures of other and quite
different species to their own. Many
creatures have more than mans dislike
to a solitary life, and adopt measures
of their own to beguile its tedium.
Horses have positive dread OF solitude,
and when this happens to be unavod-
nble will make friends of the mostun-
likely creatures. Cases have occurred
in numbers where colts and mares have
shown symptoms of distress and uneasi-
ness amounting to positive melancholy
where stable dogs have died or been re-
moved.-Dog Fancier.

SHIPPING ELEPHANTs BY RAIL.
Why the Cars That Transport Pachy-

Why the Cars That Transport Pachy-
derms Are Made Secure.
"Do you know" said the retired elc-
plant trainer, "why the big cars that
transport elephants are made SO secure
and close?"
The reporter did not know.
T, "Wel, will tell you. I suppose you
have observed that the cars have not a
single opening except the strongly
barred little windows at each end,
which serve to admit the ARR The cars
are inspected regularly and if an open
ing large enough to admit an elephants
trunk is found the aperture is strongly
boarded up. The elephant is the most
inquisitive animal in existence. He
will poke his nose in everything within
reach. If he finds an opening in car,
out goes his trunk like shot. He will
sway it back and forth, apparently ex-
pecting the regular quota of peanuts

Not Hard for One Used to "Toting Bar"
rels o. Sugar"
An athletic old colored man, who in
his youth was employed in sugar re-
finery in New Orleans, is now helper
in bicycle store uptown.
When he is not otherwise employed 1t
is his duty to give beginners their first
lessons. The school of instruction Is In
the street, and almost every evening
Uncle Eph may be seen steadying the
wheel for some uncertain novice. The
work is not easy, and only a very power
full fellow could stand it SO well as the
aged but well preserved darby does
The other day there came q new pupil
to the bicycle store. 1t was lady past
10, still quite fair but undeniably fat.
She stated her case very difffdently;
said she thought she was past the BIZ
cycle riding age, and that she feared
she would never succeed in mastering
the wheel, but the family doctor had
prescribed bicycle. So there she was.
It was Uncle Eph who was assigned
to give her the first lesson. No cavalier
could have been more gallant. He
showed her how to mount and what TIC
do with her hands and feet. Then for
one Woodworking hour tie mighty old
Hercules kept that wheel upright, TO
the admiration of the streetful Of peo-
pie who saw him.
After the lesson was over the pupil
thanked him profusely "I'm SO heavy"
she said, alphabetically, "and you
held me up the whole time. I'm afraid
I must have tired you dreadfully!"

suffering from any form of female
weakness are requested to lay your
case before Mrs. Pinkham. Perhaps
you cannot afford to pay the large fee
of a local physician and then run the
chances of not receiving benefit from
their treatment. Then again it is en-
barrassing to relate your private
troubles in detail to male physician.
Mrs. Pinkham asks you to remember
that her advice and help will cost
you nothing. We ask you to remem-
Der the great volume of experience
she has to draw from; no physician
living has ever treated SO many cases
of female ills as has Mrs. Pinkham,
and from this vast experience surely it
is more than possible she has gained
the very knowledge that will help your
case--anyway, you should give your
self the benefit of the chance.

ACTORS SOCIAL POSITION.

MolIero Was Considered an Outcast-Ra-
fused Spiritual Consolation.
The time was in France when the actor
had no social position and certainly no
spiritual one. Special dispensation
was necessary when the Catholic
church allowed q mass to be said for the
rcpose of an actors soul. Prof. War
ren, describing the Moliere period,
writes:
"The social position Of On actor in
Moliere's time was q low one. Not
from any prejudice against the stage,
evidently, since the dranatists like
Corneille and Scarron were on the same
footing at Hotel de Rambouillet aud
other salons Of Paris as poets and cs-
sayists and were elected TO the French
Academy as readily. Indeed, it would
seem as though the composition Of
plays was the shortest road to distinc-
ton in the Paris of Moliere, us it is to-
day.
"But with the actors it was another
question. Their wandering, unset
tied modes of life had evidently told
against them. They were not admit
ted to society whether their conduct
was good or bad. They were not even
considered in the light of literary per-
sons. Moliere met his friends, Boileau,
La Fontaine, Furetiere at public cafes.
AS writer of comedy he was either not
taken seriously or had incurred too
much hostilityon the part Of influential
sets, the clergy through 'Tartuffe, the
salons through Les Femmes Savantes.'
AS an actor he was considered an out
cast with his class, and when on his
deathbed he asked for spiritual con-
ISOLATION his appeal fell on deaf ears I'M
til it was too late. So that it was with
the greatest difficulty that his widow
procured bit Of consecrated ground
in which to lay the remains of the un-
shrived comedian. "-Chautauquan.
