Bones was a shaggy, fat skye terrier
with a short saiL Just why these scrub-
by looking skye terriers always find lux
urious homes and fond admirers I don't
know, bat they seem' to dd Ik Bones
was no exception.* He whs the house
hold pet. Every member of the family
coddled and kissed him, and be returned
their affection with equal ardor.
When any one came lioihe after a short
absence, Bones showed extravagant de
light, and bis demonstrations were
usually rewarded with candy or cake.
He had a trick of catching Up any
small object which came handy, and
bringing it to lay at the returned one’s
feet, as if to display the generosity of
his lienrt
Sometimes he overshot the mark like
the rest of us.
One day the lady of the bouse returned,
and Bones, dashing ont to find some
token of affection to present her, fell
over three unfortmmtelittlo dneks walk
ing primly behind tin r mamma. He
caught one up in his lt.-mth and with
joyful haste rushed be- if t j the parlor.
Poor d-.ick! Poor L...e»I The dnek
straggled. Bones took a firmer grip.
The duck straggled harder. Bones gave
s harried gulp, and, to Ills own dismay
as well os to the duck's, the dnek went
down Bones* throat and never came op
again.
The shoot of laughter which greeted
his exploit was too much for Bones. He
ran ont faster than he came in. His
stomach and his conscience both trou
bled him for long after. It was only
necessary to say, “Duck, Bones!” to see
him slink away with the funniest ex
pression of doggish shame, caused by
the remembrance of bis unintentional
dinner.—Harper's Yonng People.
Oriental Students In London.
The superior orientals in London are
almost exclusively from India, except
such as represent diplomacy; and they
include two classes—men of business and
students. The former are few, bat rep
resent very large commercial interests.
The latter number about 200. They
have their headquarters at the North,
brook club in Whitehall Gardens, of
which the majority are members. The
practice of sending yonng Indians to
study in England is increasing. They
come from all parts of India ami include
Mahominedans, Hindoos and Parsees.
The lnxury of a European education is
not to be had for nothing, and. os a mat
ter of coarse only men of rneqns can in-
dnlge in it.
These young fellows are, as a rale, ex-
tremely intelligent, with charming man
ners, and they speak English admirably
—far better than most European for
eigners who have lived for many years in
England. They stndy law and medicine
in London; bnt some go to Conper’i Hill
for the engineering service and others to
Cirencester for agriculture. The English
universities, and Edinburgh also, have
their contingent. In nearly all cases
they go back to practice in India, but of
late a tendency to settle here has been
visible. The only other eastern country
which occasionally sends ns a similar
class is Japan.—St. James’ Budget
Th. Value of a Raeehnru.
The snm of £19,000 paid by Mr. Blun
dell Maple to Lord Aliqgton and Sir F.
Johnstone as the purchase money of
Common is the highest price ever paid in
England for a horse. It is commonly re
ported that the Duke of Westminster
received a larger snm for Ormonde from
Sonth America, though £12,000 was prob
ably nearer the price. Moreover, Signor
Ginistrelli was offered £20,000 for Sig-
norins, and the Duke of Portland a still
higher price for Donovan, but in these
cases the offer* were refused.
When the Duke of Westminster paid
£14,000 for Doncaster—the highest price
given in England for a race horse before
Common was sold—people were almost
shocked at bis temerity and extrava
gance, and yet it baa been calculated
that the dnke made a net profit of £160,-
000 out of the transaction.

Simon, Hermit and Isonomy are gold

Th«ra Ami Two Kind* of Mustard.
There are two varietie* of mustard-
black and white. Black mustard is the
most valuable for commercial purposes.
Its seeds are very minute, weighing uot
more than one fiftieth of a grain each.
Its peculiar pungent taste ia caused by
an essential oil. This oil can, like fruit
flavors, be exactly imitated by the chem
ists. Both as a table condiment and as
a medicine, mnsturd has been known
from a very remote period.
As now fonnd in our grocery stores,
this spice consists of wh|to and black
mnstard seeds, mixed aud ground fine.
The white mnstard keeps better than
the black variety and is not so bitter.
A good deal of the mnstard sold is adul
terated. sometimes with Wheat flour, but
more often with tntneric, the pulverized
root of a common East Indian plant.—

How th. Kangaroe Fights.
The kangaroo fights with great ad
dress and Intelligence, and if he can find
a stream or water hole in which to await
bis foes will station himself waist deep
in it, and pnahing the dogs under one by
one as they swim ont to attack him
either drown them outright or compel
them to retire for want of breath.
Against human enemies, armed only
with clnbsor stirrup irons, the kangaroo
often shows himself a clever boxer, ward
ing off blows Tery dexterously with bis
forepawe. nnd now mid then making for
ward brands, with rapid play of hts dan
gerous hind feet, which are difficult to
avoid,—Boeton Journal.
