A GAME OF TAG.
I was looking from the window,
At the garden yesterday, old
Where. beneath the hare oak tree
A iieap of brown leaves lay,
When, suddenly, the north wind

And up tlie brown leaves started
And ' ‘Tag” began to play.
Like airy sprites, all did over
The garden ttiey tilt,
And never seemed to falter
In their mad race a whit.
And, though 1 saw that many
Were by the others hit.
So fast they went that no time
Could I tell which was “it.”
HE SAVED A TRAIN.
There lives in Arkansas, near Benton,
a small railway station, a real hero. The
great storm that has swept over this sec¬
tion caused much damage and had torn

terrific speed. The young hero, knowing
that the tra ; n was due and seeing the
danger, ran some distance over a half
mile down the track while the storm was
raging. It was pitch dark and he could
hardly see his hand before him. With a
lantern iu his baud he sped on. The
train was heard in the distance. He

animal pygmies.
Pygmies are not confined to the human
race, hut are found among the lower am
mals. One of the most remarkable of
these dwarfs was a species of elephant
which formerly lived on the island of
Malta and in various parts of Italy, where
its houes are now found.
This creature, judging from the bones
which have been collected, was about tho
of a sheep, so we can imagine the
baby pygmy, a perfect elephant not much
larger than a cat, an animal readily held
In the open palm of a strong man’s hand,
[) war f elephants are not unknown today,
ftn(1 8( , veral hllve b een brought to this
country, where they seem to develop
wonderful intelligence. ponies
The Shetland and other are the
pygmies among horses, and in the early
days there, was a horse hardly as large as
a fox, if we may believe the evidence of
the rocks which have preserved the re
maius of various fossil horses.
A very beautiful pygmy deer group is
■ftV* 1 qri ihq i-nnila islands. These litt le
creatures are not much bigger Than a cat,
while tlie young are beautiful little ani
mals hardly the size of a small rabbit,
yet perfect in shape and form. The or
dinary musk deer of Central Asia is a
pygmy in every sense of the word, anil
one of the most attractive of the tribe,
To the naturalist it is an undeveloped
creature. It is about three feet in length,
twenty inches high at the shoulder, and
has m the male largely developed canine
teeth that project, so that they are very
conspicuous and are used as weapons iu
the contests which the little creatures
wage one with another.
The sperm wlmle is perhaps the animal, largest,
or very nearly the largest, living
and in singular contrast to it is the pygmy
sperm that was discovered on the New
Jersey sands a few years ago and
ed as a rare prize to the National museum
at Washington. While the real sperm
whale is possibly eighty feet in length,
tho pygmy specimen is but eight. This
little creature lias the peculiar blunt head
and the toothed jaw of tlie big sperm,
but is a very diminutive edition of it, es
pecially when seen with the man who
found it. Its newly-born young are when
nursing not much longer than a rabbit,
while the ordinary sperm infant is thir¬
teen or fourteen feet in length.
THE CATS OP SIENA
Strangers in Siena often speak of the
great quantity of pet cats to be seen there.
At each doorway opening directly on the
street sits a pet cat, staid and respectable,
with a ribbon or some piece of color tied
about her neck to show that she belongs
to a human family. Workmen in tb ir
little shops have a cat to keep them com
pany. sometimes sitting on a low counter
at the window. All are within reach of
any teasing hand, but I never saw a cat
chased or teased in any way, and it is
plain that they felt perfectly secure and
did not expect any injury. Personally I
found them unsociable, and that when
I spoke to them they took no notice ami
made no reply, even when I learned an
Italian word or two to say to them. They
were happy at home and did not need to
new friends.
In Naples there are men whose business
it is to fee l cats every day at noon.
People with economical tables subscribe
a small sum to have their cats provided
for by the cats’food men. The rats be
gin to feel quite hungry about noon, and
stroll out from the shops in all those
cro i ded streets to watch for their dinner.
1 could not imagine what was the excite¬
ment among them that first day I was
out at that hour. Presently 1 saw a part
of the daily distribution on bustling
Chiaja. There were cats there wiio
seemed to watch what was dealt out to
them critically, as if they intended to
make a complaint if their dinner was not
as good as it ought to be freedom
In Florence tbe cats enj y the
they love, and never did I see one chased,
or looking timid an 1 anxious as if un-
certain where to run to. 1 remember a
cat 1 used to pass near the dd Medici
< 'hurch of San Spirito. She seemed to
live on one of tho upper floors of a tall
house, and she could only loot up to her
window by sitting in the middle of the
street. She would never answer my
greeting, but continued to look, as if
watching her friends or perhaps signalling
to them that she was ready to go home.
There is the special cat chu'oh in Flor¬
ence, San l.orenzo, the churcb in which
so many Medici are buried. 1 don't know
whether that family was particularly fond
of cats or how it happened, but the
cloisters of San l.orenzo are reserved fot
homeless cats, whether they come there
by themselves or are brought by people
who want to dispose of them. I hail read
in my guide book that these animals are
fed every da . at noon from scraps brought
in by people in the neighborhood, so 1
was particular to time mj first visit al
noon, and was disappointed to hear that
for some reason the breakfast hour had
beeu changed to nine A. m. There is a
larg ', raised, green centre in the cloisters,
on which grow some shrubs anil trees;
and, asleep under the bushes or loitering
around the stone ledge that enclosed tin
green, were a dozen or two of the charity
cats. Legend says they are witches, who
have consented to take this harmless shapt
and to keep out of mischief They wen

I.AZAKUS. IKCB STORY.
It was a steel-grav December evening
about sunset, but no sun was visible.
Miss Mary was hurrying home to diutiei
from a brisk promenade in the still, oold
air. As she crossed a littlh wooden bridge
at the corner of the street she heard a low
whine, and looking down into the fro/.eu
ditch she beheld Lazarus. It was the
skeleton of a dog that she saw, hideous
with wounds anil sores, and with only
three legs, one having been <nH off by a&
cident or wanton cruelty. I ins wretched
object, shivering and dying in dumb
misery, made Miss Mary forget nil her
pleasant reflections. She hurried on. and
tried to resume tier train of agTeeablc an
ticipations; but the ghost of i a<arus
followed her.
I he dining-room was Just as blight ami
warm as she hud pictured it, the dinner
just as savory; hut somehow Miss Mary
could not enjoy it. Before dinner was
over Lazarus had taken complete posses
sion of iier, and a vigorous battle between
pity and conventionality was going on in
her tender heart. Fity conquered, 8h»
lingered until every oho left the room.
Then she took a pine and heaped it with
al! manner of good things, as if for some
tardy member of the family. She went
to the door and peeped out. It was nearly
dark, She seized a huge cloak and run
down tlie steps, and iu a few minutes she
was standing on the bridge again. * She
gl anced quick!y up and down, to lie sure
no one was comTngVaFrani'GTeil that painfully
down the slippery bank, glad it was
too dark for her fully to discern the poor
creature’s repulsiveness, and chirped to
him as she did to her canary bird,
Lazarus made a feeble effort to crouch
farther under the bridge, and whined de
sparingly at his inability to escape, Fho
hold out her gloveless hand to him, and
tlie friendless creature tried to snarl and
snap at her. To Miss Mary this understood was more
piteous than all else, for she
in a moment all the life history of abuse
and cruelty that had taught him to see
only a merciless instrument of torture in
a human hand, bhe set the plate within
his reach and climbed to the bridge again.
The moaning and shuddering ceased.
bhe heard him smelling the food, and tli u
listened to his enjoyment, lie of a banquet
such as in all his poor life had nevet
dreamed of. When he began Sicking the
plate she sighed with satisfaction and re
lief and started homeward. Brighter and
dearer than ever did home look now, and
the pleasant reflections bad all come back
to her, when behind her she heard a
sound of something follo wing. She turned
her head, and behold, hobbling weakly
on his three legs came Lazarus 1
Miss Mary uttered ah astonished little
cry of protest, and actually took Inflight;
but Lazarus hobbled the faster, making
such woful efforts to rim that she slack¬
ened her pace out of pure mercy, and
shuddered with horror and pity at him.
The family rebelled when she introduced
Lazarus to them the ne|xt morning; but
nobody ever rebelled long against Miss
Mary,- and the ze* with j which he strove
to render himself worthy soon won for
him a loieration which ^speedily affection. ciianged His

object of adoration the
