Count Nigra was originally minor

one of his clerks to accompany him to
Paris. 1.-THE only one l have" said
the director, lis the young man at the
top of the ladder; he is, however, very
simple and inexperienced" "That
does not matter at ALL" said Cavour;
"the stupider the better" Nigra trav-

rotary After some days Cavour said,
Tonight l must compose a note to
the Powers; it will, however, be late
when l return, but you must remain
up for me-" Upon Cavour's return he
found the note already written. He
read it as composed by Nigra without
altering it. "This is well, young
man." he said; "but how is it that
you were describer to me as simpler"
Nigra answered, 'Excellency, no one
has hitherto demanded any intelli-
gence from me-" Cavour said, "You

Inventor Of the Roomerana.

The bomerange is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting of it.
The convexity on one side, the fiat
ness on the other, and the sharp knife
like edge on the inside of the convex
ity have the air of having been care
fully thought out.
Yet the people who invented this
singular weapon cannot count higher
than five and are destitute of all the
arts and amenities of life. There is
perhaps the lowest plane of human
life.
Some people have assumed that the
boomerang was the creation Of an old
er and higher civilization but for this
there is no evidence. 1t must be the
product of one age long. empirical
use of throwing weapons.-London

Cal cares for orphan PuppIes.

Here's an animal story that will
shame all nature takers. 1t happened
right in the middle of the great city,
and it has a moral that many men and
women may learn with profit.
Four weeks ago a shaggy unfed
dog, with more dirt than hair on it's
body, crept beneath a little hole in the
wall that holsters up the life saving
station at the foot of Grand street,
and made it her home.
When anybody went near that hole
the dog would stick an angry head
out and growl menacingly through a
competent looking set Of bristling
teeth.
The Iifesavers called the dog
suuatter and a nuisance and one day
somebody caught her in the docks for
aging and put a bullet into her heart,
whereupon the life savers said they
were glad to have her out Of the way.
Everything ran quietly in the hole
under the station for two weeks.
Then one day a saver heard a medley
of little whines and whimpers from
within.
Something funny about that" he
unused. Guess I'll have look"
He crawled in, scratched a match,
and peering to the further end, saw
six little pups and six little kittens
shrinking, frightened, against the
walls.
And in front of them, hair on end,
back arched, daring him with snarls
to come on, stood Terry, the pet cat
of the corps. AS the intruder looked
on with wonder, one of the puppies
waddled over to Terry and rubbed
against her, and she turned her head
a moment and lovingly licked the lit
tie dogs face, Then she bristled
again toward the life saver, who said:
"Whew! What dye think Of that!"
When the life savers heard the
story, they Clipped in half dollar
apiece for a little slab over the place
where the mother dog lies buried

A Stranue Mistake.

Ny daddy says that once he was
little CHAP like me;
SO why he says the things he GOES

He says he can't imagine why
L stand upon my head,
Instead of on my dignity
Like boys who're better bred
He says he cannot comprehend
The reason why l can't,
w hen up the stairs l mount, prsten"
That I'm human ant,
Instead of stamping on the stair,
AS though l thought that l
Were nothing but a lively pair
or hippopotami.
From all of which I greatly fear,
In days beyond recall,
My dear old daddy, it is clear,
Was not like me at all;
But like some other little chap,
Whose name l never heard,
Who likes to sit On some ones lap
And never says a word.
