Riding a Giraffe.

General Wood of the English army
was the hero of many adventures, but
the one he called the strangest is the
time be rode a giraffe in India. With
a party of friends be was being en-
tertained By the rajah Of .Jowra. who
exhibited his rare collection Of wild
animals to his guests. General (then
Major) Wood was q daring horseman
and on a wager offered to ride the
giraffe with no bride save a rope.
The rajah warned. him of the danger.
but he would not listen. So the giraffe
was brought to balcony, from which
the major vaulted on its back. In
stantly the great creature was of like
the wind. and. once fairly started, it
settled down into curious gallop that
soon made the rider so sick and dizzy
that he fell off like log, receiving a
blow on the head from the animals
knee and then in the face from its
foot. lie was unconscious for an hour.
and the 6rst use he made of his voice
was to resolve that he would never
ride a giraffe again.

killepedes.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction Of having more legs
than any other animal is that which
belongs to the family Of insects known
as millepedes or thousand footed. There
are several different species Of these.
but they all possess the common char.
acteristic of having segmented bodies.
each segment Of which is provided
with its own pair Of feet. These are
set so closely along the body as to re-
semble hairs. and when they move one
after another with perfect regularity
the effect is precisely the same on a
small scale as that Of field of oats
undulating under the influence Of the
wind. Some species of millepedes have
as many as $50 separate and distinct
legs They are all perfectly harmless.

We have lost our darling mother,

We have lost our darling mother,
She has bid US all adieu;
She has gone to live in heaven,
And her form is lost to view.
Oh, that dear one! how we loved heri
Oh, how hard to give her up! ::
But an angel came down for her
And removed her from our flock.
Earth has lost its look Of g]adness,
: Heaven seems to US more bright,
Since the spirit Of our dear one
Took it's happy, homeward flight.
And we long to cross that river,
Long to rest up IN that shore,
There to see, and know, and love them
With the Savior evermore.
We miss thee from our home, dear
mother,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
Precious mother, she has left Us,
Left US yes forevermore;
But we hope to meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house, and sad the hours
Since our dear one has gone;
But oh! a brighter home than ours,
In heaven is now her own.
Call Lot back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are o'er
On the border land we left her,
SoonFto meet and part no more. y
When we leave this world of changes,
When We leave this world of care,
We shall find our missing loved one
In our fathers maDsion fair.
Farewell, dear, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part-no never!
On the resurrection morn.
Tho thy darling form lies sleeping
IN the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shall have glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.

The dry weather does not affect the
