Human Beings Cared tor by Animals.

1t is well known that the Hindoos
as a. race have strong aversion to
taking life of any kind. Strange as
it may seem, the wolf is regarded in
some parts of India with peculiar
superstitious reverence, which makes
the shedding of his blood something
iniquitous, says the New York Even
ing Sun. As a consequence the
wolves are bold and numerous, espec-
tally in districts where there is little
or no European influence. Children,
also, are numerous, and the wolves,
having no scruples about the sacredness
Of life, have on countless occasions not
only raided the village sheepfolds, but
have carried off children. The vast
majority of the latter have been de-
voured, but here and there a pooryic-
tim, by the agency of some occult
malign influence, has been reserved
for a fate worse than death.
In 1862 what was probably the first
circumstantlal and authoritative ac-
count of the "wolf children Of India
was published by Colonel SIeeman,
British officer especially distinguished
for the leading part he took in putting
down the Thugs and Dacoits. Ac-
cording to this authority, the first
authentic case of a wolf acting as fos-
ter parent to human child was dis
covered accidentally by trooper who
was riding along the banks Of the
River Goomtee, in Northern India.
As the ravines in that region were all
infested by wolves, the soldier was
not surprised at seeing she wolf, ac-
compauied by three cubs, come out
Of a covert and 20 down to the river
to drink. What surprised him very
much, however, was the presence Of
another creature, which had the ap-
pearance Of little boy, but was eyi-
dently on the friendliest terms with
its brute companions and was treated
apparently just like one of the fami-
ly." The creature went on all fOurs
and drank from the stream ike the
others.
The trooper tried, though unsuc-
cessfully, to intercept the phenomenon
before it escaped with the wolves IN
to their den. He secured the help Of
some natives and dug through several
feet until the lair was almost reached.
The wolf family then made bolt In
to the open, and it was only after a
stiff chase and something Of a fight
that the wolf boy" was captured.
He seemed to be between six and
eight years of age.
They took the boy to the village,

Do you cough?
Do your lungs pain you?
Is your throat sore and intlamed?
Do you spit up phlegm?
Does your head ache?
Is your appetite bad?
Are your lungs delicate?
Are you losing flesh?
Are you pale and thin?
Do you lack stamina?
These symptoms are proof that you
have in your body the seeds OF the most
dangerous malady that has ever deyas-
tated the earth-consumption.
Consumption, the bane OF those who
have been brought up in the old-fash-
ioned beliefs that this disease was hered-
itary, that it was fatal, that none could
recover who were once firmly clasped IN
its relentless grip.
But now known to be durable, made
so by the world-stirring discoveries OF
that man whose name has been given
to this new system OF treatment.
Now known to be preventable and
durable by following and practising his
hygienic teachings.
The new system OF treatment will cure
you OF consumption and OF all diseases
which can be traced back to weak lungs
as a foundation.
1t is not drug system, but system
OF germ destruction and body building.

described this creature.
His head is small, his brow un-
commonly low and contracted, while
his eyes in proportion to his head and
face are very large. They are of a
grayish color, and squirting. He has
a small, thin, wrinkled face on which
are one or two large cicatrices, marks,
no doubt, of severe bites. On other
parts Of his body also are evident signs
of the rough treatment to which he
was subjected when living in the cave
with his unamiable companions. His
height when he stands erect Is five feet
two inches. In walking he lifts his
feet ike one wading through wet grass
and as he moves along all the mus
cles OF the body seem to be uudergolng :
"a series Of jerks, while his arms are
thrown about in such a manner as to
convey the impression that they must
materially assist him in his progress.
His head is also continually in mo-
ton, turning from side to side with
rapidity, while his eyes, which have at
all time a hungry appearance, glare
as if he expected an attack from an
unseen enemy. When viewed from
behind as he walks or when he stands
in front Of You with his head inclined
to one side, rolling his large gray eyes,
beating pom his stomach to show that
he Is hungry, or initiating tile smoking
Of a cigar, of which he is very fond,
grnning and uttering inarticulate and
uninteligible sounds, he certainly pre-
scuts "a strange appearance.
Two facts noticeable about the wolf
children" hitherto discovered seem
easily enough explained. One Is that
they have all been males. 1t may, Of
course, "iust have happened 50, that
only male children have ever had the
distinction of a wolf foster mother.
But, were it otherwise than the more
rugged constitution Of the male child,
enabling it the better to withstand the
terrible experiences indicate to such
a life. would be a reasonable eXpIaua-
ton of why males only have survived
the ordeal. When one thinks how
weak and helpless a thug the human
child is, even the strongest toddlers
of three years old, it seems miraculous
that even one such child could exist
for single day or even for few
hours in the unnatural environment
of a VOLTS den.
The other fact is that all such crea-
lures when found have been children.
The Oldest of them at the time Of cap
ture could barely be more than eight
or ten years old. This, no doubt, is
accounted for by the various moving
accidents by food and field, to which
all such foster children would be more
and more continuously exposed as they
grow older and were more entirely
thrown on their own resources. They
would neither have the instincts nor
the strength and endurance to con-
tend successfully in the struggle for
existence with their brute comrades
and competitors.

Jeferson's Ten Rules.

Never put off until tomorrow what
you can do today.
Never trouble another for what you
can DO yourself.
Never spend your money before you
have earned it.
Never buy what you don't want be-
cause it is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger, thirst
and cold.
We seldom repent Of having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
How much pains the evils have cost
us that have never happened.
Take things always by the smooth
handle.
When angry count ten before you
speak if very angry, count a hun
dred.
