A Birds Bump of Locality.

On shore the penguin is an awkward
creature, says Prof. c. f. Borchgre-
wink, the Antarctic explorer. Water is
its element. When hunted on the ice
foes the birds generally try TO run
away in an upright position, but just
as the hunter thinks he has got one
the bird lies down on its white belly
and paddles along over the snow very
quickly, the hard, smooth quilts slip
ping over the snow crystals almost
without friction. y remarkable char
acteristic of the penguin is his bump
of locality. Both on shore and in the
water he never loses his way. To hui
man eyes one ice hoe is precisely like
another, but under that roof of similar
ice foes | have seen a penguin of the
larger species find its mate on a foe
after diving and swimming for mile
under water.-Leslie's Monthly.

did was shot to death by his owner

wife named Harris, living near Santa
Rita, had a big Irish setter, of which
she was extremely fond and which
was devoted to it's mistress. When
Mrs. Harris first baby was born and
received all the petting and cajolery
which the dog had regarded as be-
longing to him he became intensely
Jealous. One day he seized the baby
up from the floor and bounded away
with IL to the river. He swan out
into the current and dropped the child
, into the water. The baby was res
cued with some difficulty and then
the dog was killed.
