About a year ago the government of New Zealand decided to attempt to acclimatise the North American moose there and entered into correspondence with the Cana dian government The authorities of Ottawa promised to assist the project and with the help of c. c. Chipman chief commissioner of the Hudson Bay company, thirteen baby moose, none of them more than few weeks old, were got together in the Lake Manitoba country. These were hand reared for six or eight m $ on chopped food, fresh fruit, vegetables, etc, special care being taken to get them sufficiently tame for the long voyage that was before them.

 on the Street.
 On the top floor of one of Boston's highest apartment houses lives a lady who loves all Gods creatures. She has long been in the habit of feeding the sparrows and pigeons who fly to the little balcony before her window. She net only feeds them, but takes time to get acquainted with them as well. and In consequence one particular pigeon became quite a pet, eating out of her hand, and was al- ways called by the one pet name. One day as the lady was passing down Park street not far from her home her attention was attracted by q flock of pigeons in the street, and to her surprise one left the others and 1uttered to her very feet, where she recognized her pet pigeon, and as she called the familiar name 1t svinced every sign of pleasure and recognition possible for pigeon. How wonderful that in all that passing throng the pigeon should recognize it's oenefac- tor, and do you think there could e1- ist keener pleasure than that enjoyed by this kfad woman in the simple greeting c; a pigeon s-Boston Journal.

The young mans mother carried on in pitiful way. but the father was memorable, the young man must get out and shift for him. self. The young man went away say ing he would return rich man somo day and make his father ashamed of himself? His mother said he was a noble boy. and swooned. That night at o'clock the kitchen door open d softly, and the young man came n, carr ying a small armful of wood. When supper was ready he took his usual place at the table, and ate with his ac- customed appetite.

There are something like Il
hundred cases of smallpox in
Quincy at present. The dis.
ease is in a very mild form.
There have been no deaths and
every precaution is being taken
to prevent the spread of the
disease. Smallpox is prevalent
TO a greater or less extent all
over the country. 1t is likely
to break out anywhere and at
any time. If you have been
vaccinated you are practically
immune and need feel no alarm.
Marion County Herald.
Yea verify, this city has for
several months had several
cases of Vans, Yaws, Cuban
Itch or something else that for
the want of a better name has
been dubbed smallpox. During
that period of time the-you
name it-has been pretty well
sprinkled through Monroe, Ma
ron and Rails counties, in fact
it was there when the city was
free from it. In form it has been
so light that the patients were
not confined to their rooms but
would roam over their house
and premises and'there were no
fatal cases. On the first appear
ance of 1T the people were
vaccinated and the vaccination
was by far harder on them than
the Scratches or Vans has been.
