The rest of theberd linmudiatoly made f. jtT In oordiSDoHon: bat instead of scat- Viering pellmell as other wild animals /nSroald have done under like circnmstan- J’j hie, these queer denizens of a queer I' country fell into line and departed in regular Indian file, the big old doe lead' ing the way, and the smalleet diminu tive pickaninnies bringing np the rear. The doe covered the ground with tre mendous leisurely hops, bolding her fore paws before her iu a mincing way that was very comical, TEKXnMnffiimals, each an exact though diminutive counterpart of the leld^r/o|o^red in gradually diminish ing perspective, every little beggar hup ping just a little more rapidly than the one before him. until the fast flying legs of the last puny fellow at the end of the line were blurred like the spokes of a wheel iu rapid motion. The effect of this extraordinary proces sion was to my unuccustouied eyes so altogether ludicrous and absurd that I nearly lost ray shot in an uncontrollable burst of laughter. As it was I might just as well have had my laugh out to the end, for although I let the old doe have both barrels full in the flank as she pyaasd me at twenty yards' distance she never even faltered in her course! and had quite disappeared in the sernb, with nil her numerous progeny at her heels, before I had time to replace the empty cartridges. The No. 8 shot in all probability bail little more effect upon her tongh hide than so many grains of sand. Neverthe less, it might perhaps have brought her down if I had aimed at the head, for one pellet penetrating the brain through the eye would have been sufficient. But the motion was so eccentric and )>erplexing that this would have been a very risky shot, and I preferred the chance of stun ning her by a direct double charge fall in the body to the almost absolute cer tainty of: mtadog her altogether by at- tempting the more difficult shot—Birge Harrison in Scribner’s. PASSING. Ki ll It Why American Women Wnlb. “No other women in the world can compare with American women,” said a I man who has been living abroad for sev- eral years, “iu walking. The American wogug^walkh by preference. She seems hi£<*3 a carriage. And how she walks! Hcf hdttil is held np, her shoulders are tlirewu back ami her step is firm and elastic. Is it any wonder that site lias a fine color and that her lips are fresh and her eye blear? In othercountries women ride because they do not feel safe when I, they are iu the street. Here they know that they have every man at their com mand,if they need him. ‘Ton find women in line after line tUrongiug the streets where they go to do Itieir shopping, or in Fifth or Madison avenue, when they are returning home. They may not know what a blessing ttheir independence is to them, but their own beauty and the health and vigor of I their -ahildreu in after years are in a great measure due to this love of walk- . ing. Save In England, perhaps, I have seen nothing like it, und in England the women do not walk as they do here. They are more deliberate and grave. : J The qnickness and strength and fire are missing. They seem more like machines. Tlity Walk for the soke of tradition, it . .seems to an American, but here our women walk hecuuao they like to walk." —New York Tribune. Tea Drinking. The custom of ten drinking is as old as the Chiuese empire, and as early ns •780 A. D. a duty was levied on the tea that grew wild on the Chinese mount ains. Bat ft is within two centuries tbut its one was adopted by the English, when the B*st Tea company imported it aud it was sold at $25 a pound, its nse was confined to the royal lionseheld. Iu the reign of Henry VII a refreshment 1t consisting of tea and cakes was called a volde.' - On' (he occasion of the marriage din ner of Katharine of Arragon and Arthur, . prince of Wales, the court chronicler wrote: “The evening refreshment called I voldo was brought in by fourscore earls, ' barons and knights, walking two and . two., (poena and comfits were offered. One noble servitor presented the golden spice plate, a second the cups, while n third of lower rank filled the enps from ., , t a golden ewer.” Since then what Washington. Irving call? the ; “motherly teapot” has become a power in the world.—Detroit Free A touching story wss told of Tamber- M e tenor singer. Passing through d one bright spring morning, he rbitedltba bird market and bought every bird iu it. He ordered the cages to be carried into the Plaxa and opened. The many air was filled with a flattering boat, add from hundreds of tiny throats burst songs of delight. Tamberlik looked after them with tears of pleasure in his eyra, crying, “Go, and be free, my brotherif A similar story is told of n kindly old Virginian, who need to celebrate the Fourth of July by baying np all the ' caged squirrels, rabbits and birds in the neighborhood, and then setting them free, tkat tbey, too, might rejoice in the day of independence. The creatureeto whom be gave happiness are long since dead, but the children who saw his kifidly act have carried ita influence their lives.—Youth’s Compan- Throngh tbs dark valley thou wilt -pass to night: To tbo drear labyrinth of troubled yean, Thu fruitless night, the unavailing tears.

Your individual self perfection it* the most lamlnble thing in th » world to strive for, but an the nucleus of a gospel it is insipid. Frequent the busy haunts of men who occupy themselves with kin dred pursuits—]not literally, of necessity, hut sympathetically and in imagination. It is in union that there is strength. Remark tendencies, try to stun them np. to point out their significance and direc tion. Few meu can lie Buskins—et en core! And do not imagine that yon can per manently attach and beuefit your kind by the mere force of correct, gentle and chaste diction .on the one hand, or of set ting an example of rcjto*** ami serenity on the other, because nowadays warfare of any kind-—even literary criticism—is accustomed to weapons of more robust ness and reality, and in this sphere preaching by apet-ifio precept is far inor* efficient than preaching by general ex ample. And the most important of al! things is to lie in harmony with one's time and environment, lie sure. O critic! there is something magical in this, how ever it may transcend consciousness. See. for instance, how much finer ic *Mr. Woodljerry's essay on Browning—apiece of real criticism—than are his lucubra tions about “the ideal life.”— Scribners DciiiuimI for l.urgt*r Dynamo*. Professor Thomson, in speaking l»eforo the National Electric Light association, called to mind the great work in the electrical field which has been accoin plished in the last few years, and, refer ring to the ever increasing business and the call for larger machines, said that dynamos np to 500 to 1,000 horse power are now frequently called for, where a few years ago it was thought an unusual tiling to speak of a 150 or 200 horse pow er machine, aud the tendency is toward machines of much larger capacity in future electric installations. With regard to healing our houses by electricity, Professor Thomson thought it not at all likely that we will ever heat extensively by electricity, unless wo can find some way of converting the energy of coni into electricity far more directly and less wastefully than is done in stean engines of the present day. — Bostoc Transcript Tit fur Tut. - 'The following story is told of Dr. Ma gee, the archbishop of York designate. Some time since the bishop was dining with a total abstainer, who provided only water us the beverage of his guests at dinner. The host, however, leaned forward and whispered confidentially to the bishop: You will find some wine in your bed room.” An amusing look passed over Bishop Magee’s face, but his thoughts, such as they were, were kept to himself till the fitting time should come.
