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. Sires of known merit snch as St. Simon, Hermit and Isonomy are gold mine* to their fortnuate owners, and in these days of excessive turf competition A horse who has ran well bnt has yet a reputation to make at the stud will bring in thousands before he baa proved either a success or n failure.—-London Tit-Bits. 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.— Foods and Beverages. 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.
