A BABY IITENJU
TLo baby hyeua in tho attraction at
the Central Turk 'Zoo." A hyena in
infancy U cute, bright-eyed, soft,
l'uugy anu untenisu. am it grows
out of this in time, and thia frolic-
tomo littlo creature will a few j'enrs
beuco bo as villainously ugly aa Lo is
cow delightful, llo is a brownish
hued creature, with a black muzzle,
about as tall and as fat as a Newfound
land puppy. His ngo is three mouths
a fact duo to the vigilance of tho
keeper, aa her "ma" has fchowu here
tofore a deposition to cat her off
spring, having in this unnatural man
ner disposed of half a dozen young
sters that would have been brothers
and sisters to the latest arrival.
Mrs. Ilyena is as tall as a St. Ber
nard, and "her infant freely walks un
der tho arch of Iffcr shaggy and ill
emelling body. The baby just now
Las high fore legs and short hind lege,
and moves about with an awkward
nobble that greatly amuses the chil
dren who throng before tho cnge.
When the baby grows up he will laugh,
as does his mother, a laugh that car
ries terror with it to every breast in
the Zoo, but just now the laugh is
Bimply a joyous gurgle.
ine motner is iona oi her eon in a
hyena way, and evidently believes
with Solomon that to spare the rod is
to spoil the child. One day last week
the gave her offspring a trouncing
that he will not forget in a harry. It
seems that when the daily allowance
cf meat.scraps and bones were thrown
into the cage she declined to allow
the infant any portion' of it. Some
one called the keeper's attention to
this seemingly selfish act, but tho
keeper said "she probably knew
best."
The youngster evidently did not
share the keeper's opinion of the wis
dom of his motner. tor lie made a
futile effort to seize a juicy morsel of
horse meat, was caught in the act nnd

SAVED BY A BEAGCLIi.
Two mouths before our story opens
Andy Royeon, while playing on tho
beach, camo across a seagull which in
eome way had broken its wing and
was unable to fly. Andy took it
Lome and nursed it until it 'was well
He offered the bird its liberty by tak
ing it on the beach and pitching it
into tho nir. It would fly a little way
but would always come back to him,
Andy soon learned to love the bird
very much. At tho time our 6tory
opens they were always together. It
would follow Andy everywhere he
vent
Andy lived closo to the beach. He
Lad learned to row and his father had
bought him a small rowboat. There
was a pile of rocks that jutted out of
the water about two miles from the
chore. It was Andy's favored fishing
place. He would go every Saturday
uiid fish. His father always warned
Lini not to stay too long, because
when the tide ctme in it would be
dangerous. He promised to be always
on the alert. He had gotten permis
tivn from his father to go fishing ihat
- , V
lay. Ho called Pan to 'owith Lim-
that wan what ho had ituiued tho bir4
Pau hoppcl into the boat. Aiidy took
up tho oari an 1 rowel ) tho rock,
fastctUil hiu boat to 80IU0 focki, BU1
fomuicuevd fishing. Pari wa fit
ting by Liu silo watching him in
tently, for it wai Andy's c istoni to
p.ive him all tho oinall fi.sh ho cuught.
Ho had unnh'.ially good luck that day,
and La I caught ns many fish at Lo
could Vury well curry, llo stopped
and was thinking about goin lioin,
but on looking ut his watch he found
that it wan early yet, and determined
to lest before goiu;;. Ho lay down in
tho (ilia low of tho rocks und wan think
ing how surprised his mother would
bo when ho showed her tho fish, lie
had been lyin there but n few min
utes, he never could tell how it hap
pened, but ho fell nslecp. llo was
suddenly awukeucd by feelitrj tho
water rippliug around his feet. Ho
started up in surprise, but it did not
frighten him then, for he knew that
he could get to his boat in timo. (lath
cring up Lis fish ho called Dan and
started for tho boat, but judgo of his
horror at finding that his boat Lad
become loosened by tho rising tide and
had floated away, lie could i-ee it far off
iu tho distance. Tho water was still
rising. It was now at his ankles. Ho
saw if assistanco'hid not reach him in
a few hours ho would bo drowned.
Tho bird seemed to know of his mas
ter's danger, for Lo flew upon Lis
shoulder, uttering a queer noiso all
the time, us if warning him of his
danger. Audy went to tho highest
part of tho rocks, thero he sank down,
overcome, oud wept Ho wondered
what his molhcr and father would
think. Ho knew how grieved they
would bo if Lo should never come
back. Suddenly he remembered tho
littlo prayer his mother Lad taught
him, and that God would help those
who would osk Him. He sank upon
his knee and prayed a long time.
When he had finished ho felt better
and more hopeful.
All at once an idea struck bim. Why
not let Dan carry a message to Lis
father? Hastily takiug a peucil from
his pocket Lo wrote a note to his
father ; tying it arouud Dan'B neck he
turned him towards the land and
pitched him in the air. Tho bird cir
cled around twice and then started
towards the shore, now Andy prayed
that he would safely take the message
to his father. The water was now up
to his knees. It roso slowly.but sure
ly. Now it was up to Iris waist and
then his Bhoulders. He began to lose
hope. Would Lis father never come?
ne strained Lis eyes, Loping to see
him coming. Suddenly he saw a dark
object on the water. He continued
to watch it Finally it outlined it
self into a boat with a man in it
He gave a shout of joy. Pretty
soon he recognized his father'
face. He began shouting again. lie
saw his father look up and redouble
his efforts. Now only his head was
above water, and it was still rising.
Tretty soon Lis father got within hail
ing distance and shouted, "for Ood'e
sake, hold out a littlo longer." The
water slowly crept to his chin. Now
he had to stand on tiptoe to keep the
water out of Lis mouth, but it got no
further. His father had reached
him and dragged him into the boat
lie was too overcome to row auy fur
ther. Andy took up the oars and
rowed back to the land, where hie
mother was waiting for him. She
clasped him in her arms und showerec
his face with kisses, laughing and cry
ing in turn.
That night at tho supper tablo thej
told him how Dan had como to the
door, and finding that he could no'
get in, had gone to tho window auc
tapped it with his bill until his fathei
let him in. They saw the paper arounc
his neck. Reading it, Lis fatLer Lur
ried down to tLe beach and found Lie
boat and saved bim.
Dan was the hero of tho day. He
was pelted and praised by everyone,
and wheuhe died a few years later,
Mr. Eoysoii Lad him buried in the
family bnriitl ground, and a tomb
stone erected ver Lis grave with these
words inscribed? "Hero lies Dan

feet long and nine feet wide, with
single-berthed and double-berthed
compartments alternating, a corridor

tho steeple jacks make no more of
climbing such chimneys than one a
third of their height, though the vibra

chimneys vibrate, especially in a gale
it is a condition of their safety but
tho osciliation at tho top is a serious
matter for any one to work there dur

remedy with millions of families, andia
everywhere esteemed so highly bv all
who value pood health. Its beneficial"
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
