crawled into nice soft bed and while his benefaotors watched over him, went to sleep with little contented signs escaping from his lips.
 That sleep--and what a fine one 1t was-ushered Robert into a fairy land and all he could say for hours at time was Good lady" and ''Let me stay"
 Very reluctantly Mrs. Mansfield noti- fled police headquarters this morning that she had the boy at her home. She was advised by friends to do 1t.
 T suppose Robert must go if his pa rents come and claim him. The youngster has had harder knocks than genealrly clolne to even the street ga- min, and would hate to see him go back to the old life.
 T will give him fine education and everything a boy could wish for, if they will only let me keep him."
 They had a party at the Mansfield home last evening, and Robert saw so many strange and wonderful things that his eyes were as big as saucers most of the time. He went to near by school yesterday with a Nittle iden- tNNo PlARllSO O4l btAO teARSl O1 lllo coat.
 Robert was overwhelmed by the first meal at the Mansfield table, He prob-y ably never saw so much food within reach at one time. He nibbled at sev- eral slices of bread and then feasted his eyes nn big slice of roast beef. His actions indicated that he had been without food so long that he had prac- tically forgotten how to take a big mouthful of anything.
 A policeman went to the house thds morning and when he heard Mrs. 'Mansfeld's story and was told that Robert was in school, he said:
 Mrs. Mansfield I don't know what better things the kid could have than he's getting right here. hope you will be able to keep him. ."-New York Globe.

An Eight Year Old Waif, Starving and
 III, is Rescued by Good samari-
 tan.
 Robert Ferry" a sturdy little Ital- ian boy with the scars of many juve- nile battles on his head, is getting his first glimpse of beautiful world which was so far removed from him before Mrs Minnie Mansfield a prom inent church worker of Brooklyn, res- cued him from the street, that he nev- CT dreamed he could be so happy as he is to-day.
 At the tender age of eight years this little shaver was cast adrift by some body and became a waif of the streets He spent many nights in the tunnel ex- cavation at South Ferry, where he got little sleep, but lots of hard knocks.
 Just when the uneven battle for life was becoming too much for the hunger ridden and scantily clothed little body the good Samaritan came along, It was cold last Monday night, and Robert stood near the ferryhluse cry ing softly. His head hurt him, a cold bore heavily upon his chest, and the wind cut and stiffened his bare legs. He had often cried that way before simply because he couldn't help it, He was not looking for help from any one. Such a thing as sympathy was un- known to him. Privation had .stunted his brain, and his spirit was gone. He was little better than the small dog without a friend in the world, which totters to some corner and lies down to die.
 Mrs Mansfield, who has had consid- erable experience in the slums, touched the little fellow on the shoul- der then wrapped her furs about him and took him to her comfortable home at 72 Hanson Place, Brooklyn"
 A doctor dressed the poor battered head of the youngster and Mrs. Mans field and her daughter Mildred tore off the rags which hung reluctantly to his body and substituted nice, bright, clean clothes. Then Robert Ferry

 + is quite clear that the buffaloes must have been taken to Italy by sea, for it is not in the least likely that they were brought through the Turkish pe- nlnsula and around the head of the Ad- riatie Who 1t was precisely who brought them there is not known, but as they are not mentioned at all in what are not mentioned at all in what are called 'the classics though all the other Italian beasts of the farm are described very minutely, we shall pro- bably be right in thinking that eiher the enetans or the Genoese introduced them and that Italy was the next step after their establishment in Egypt. The creatures were found only in domesti- cated form there, where probably their Indian origin was entirely forgotten. They would be regarded as large, very strong and abundanly milk producing cattle, useful for many forms of work As it happened, both the Venetians and the .Genoese had a f1ourishing and most iniquitous trade iwth Egypt, the remembrance of which only survives in the name slave They had num- Der of forts and trading stations in the Black Sea { among others there was one at Balaclava, in quite good repair when we used the port for the seige of SevastopoD. There they bought up such of the native slaves as their agents could procure and shipped them as goods to Egypt It is most likely that they brought back buffaloes, especially after the Black Death, which was ac- companied by a great plague among the cattle of Europe. Moreover, we know that the Italian traders were fond of experiments in acclimatizing.

"a TEACHERS SALARY"
BY Prof. G. Darlington Moseley.


Allow me, through your columns, to call attention
to phase of the educational situation in our State
too often overlooked taken a mere matter of
course-a teachers salary
a teacher does not choose his profession antici-
pating any great returns in financial way; his
creed is, or should be- Art for arts sake" never
theless he 'maun live and suitable salary should
be paid him. 1t almost amounts to a proverb that
teachers die poor. He enjoys his life from a lit
erary standpoint, but graceful Latin sentences and
polished Greek verse cannot fill empty stomach
The truth of the matter is that much of the best
talent of our State and country is turned into other
channels of usefulness account of the serious
situation which confronts and women, too in
securing a comfortable livelihood of teaching
Apropos to teaching profession to adopt
prominent man of town some days ago adj
dressed me thus: why don't you give up teach
ing? Knowledge of Macbeth will not fill your
pockets with money; get in the ditch and dig for
It, and you will have more laid up rainy day"
Perhaps this is expressing it little strong but the
essence of the statement is true beyond a doubt.
Increase our teachers salaries and we raise the
plane of the profession. No man, however much
he is naturally inclined to literary this sort
and however highly he prises the welfare of his
State and country will his life away for a
mere pittance, and when old age comes be stranded
high and dry, and left to the gifts of charity
