HOW DOE SAVED HER PAWN
Instance Of Wonderful Maternal Intel. iieenec Told by French Writer
 and Traveller.

The following anecdote is related hv M. X. Raspail. It is worthy of com. parison with the most remarkable of instances of the same kind:
 The author one day perceived a doe m full flight before two dogs in the Aigle woods that form part of the forest of Chantilly The doe was ac- eompanied by very young lawn which appeared quite exhausted and ready to drop. The mother, doubtless we'll aware of this, slackened her pace and presently stopped close to some thick bramble bushes. She remained some time there with lowered head IS if awaiting the onset of her pur. suers.
 Suddenly an idea seemed to strike her, and with butt of the head she tossed her fawn right into the middle of the thicket. Then first advancing gently as If to make sure it was well hidden, she soon set of by rapid bounds in frcxt of the dogs. The lat. ter barking close upon her heels. she made sudden bound and thus drew them far from the spot where this in. cident occurred. The bowling of the nogs became fainter and fainter, the valiant animal having doubtless led them two kilometers away into the Canardardiere peat bogs. where ths dogs often lose the scent.
 In fact later they were seen return. ing to the village in an exhausted condition, while the intelligent mother doubtless returned to the bushes to find the little fawn she hi =H:szs'e - hidden and placed fin safe

Shredded Pineapple.

Take a large, ripe, perfectly sound
pineapple, wash it well, and if there
are any imperfect leaves remove
them With a sharp, thin knife cut
the top of the pinapple squarely off,
about an inch below the base of the
leaves, and lay the severed portions
carefully one side. Trim off the bot
tom just enough so that the fruit
will stand level and firm. With the
sharp knife cut out the inside of the
pineapple, leaving firm wall, and
being especially careful not to rup-
ture the bottom. With a silver fork
pick the flesh into small pieces, dis
carding the core. Peel and slice two
oranges, removing all the white
skin. Put the orange pulp and juice
with the shredded pineapple. cover
ing with sugar, and place on ice for
at least an hour. At serving time
place the shell on a large plate, and
fill with the cold shredded fruit. Re-
place the cover and take to the
table.

person or his manners, tho hard to
bear, are perhaps more easily borne
than those that touch his religion.
Men are generally warm in what re-
CARDS their religious tenets, either
from tenderness of conscience, or a
high sense of their own judgments.
People of plain parts and honest dis
positions, look on salvation as too
serious a thing to be TESTED with;
and men of speculative religion, who
profess from the conviction rather
of their heads than hearts, are not
bit less vehement than the real
devotees. He who says a slight or a
severe thing of their faith, seems to
them to have thereby undervalued
their understandings and will con-
sequently incur their aversion,
which no man of common sense
would hazard for lively expression;
much less a person of good breeding,
who should make it his chief aim to
be well with all"

Not few of us desire a reputa-
ton among our kind tor bright and
witty conversation and spritely man
ner There is no one of us who cares
10 be known as a creature of slug
gsh mind and laggard tongue. On
the other hand, we largely envy HIM
who can hold his own with all men
in the fearless expression of his
honest opinion, the same tempered
wthal by a courtesy of bearing and
kindness of manner that is above
the instinct to sparkle and scintil-
late at the expense of men and mat
ters which are not for idle jest. But,
oftentimes, for the sake of the EN-
bellishment of the sought-for reputa-
ton, we allow ourselves to become
cynical and pessimistic, laughing at
other mems tears and ridiculing
their earnest purposes, seeing little
good in few things and much bad in
many things, considering ourselves
wise in our own folly in that we inn
agine ourselves above the foibles
and weaknesses of other men. Thus,
shortly, the habit so grows upon us
that our wit is exercised no longer
harmlessly as an adornment to dull
conversation and a grace to awk-
ward drawing rooms but becomes
a weapon of abuse and sacrilege dir
ected toward sacred and serious
things and legitimate institutions.
The supposedly brilliant thrust
hurts like needles point in the
flesh. The sharp-spoken word cuts
like a swords edge. The faded cali
co of honest poverty, the confused
expression of the countryman in the
city's maze, the simple belief of the
young and unsophisticated, the worn
lines of age, the infirmities of the
lame and the halt and the blind, the
peculiarities of dearest friends and
bitterest enemies. the searching
stare of the near sighted. the I'M
couth table manners of the unexper-
fenced and the tongue slips of the
untaught--these and much else that
calls for sympathy and assistance
and forbearance among men and
women of ready understanding,
draws from us nothing but ridicule
and sorry jest that is jest only on
the surface. Many a man, otherwise
strong, in other walls invunerable
laugh of ridicule. Properly handled
its power for good is measureless.
Wrongfully used, it becomes an
agency for the Encouragement of
honest purposes and worthy endeav-
ors which only the bravest and
strongest can surmount.
Benjamin F'raklin wrote in his "al-
manack" the following words of
wisdom:
1T is generally agreed to be folly
to hazard the loss of a friend, ra-
Their than lose a jest. But few con-
slider how easily a friend may be
thus lost. Depending ON the known
regard their friends have for them,
testers take more freedom with
friends than they would dare to do
with others, little thinking how
much deeper we are wounded by an
affront from one we love. But the
strictest intimacy can never war
rant freedoms of this sort; and it is
indeed proposterous to think they
should; unless we can suppose in
juries are less evils when they are
done us by friends, than when they
come from other hands.
