He went to her and began to pull her away by catching her clothing in his teeth. The two companions played about the room for some time, until the little child grew tired and sleepy. She went too near the fire again, and the dog could not get her away. He pulled at her clothes for some time, but could not r.rouse her. Jfe then hurried to her mother's room and began to net strangely by rubbing against her hand nnd catching her dress, pulling her towards the door. She earessfd him find told him to goaway nnd find little Nellie. He made a strange w'.iui".g uoise with his month and then shmiy walked back to where the little or.o was sleeping, unconscious of her great danger. The dog made another attempt to rouse her and failed. He then crouched down beside her, between hor and tho fire, taking care to protect her well. Mrs. Walter entered the nw.ni a few minutes later and found the noble tlog in this position whining and cry ing, while the hair was being singed from his back. Little Nellie was sleeping sweetly.

VAGARIES OF THE INSANE. Specimen of Literary Prod art by Dis eaeri Mind. In a lecture at Indianapolis by Dr. Fletcher, the Superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum, many curious and interesting facts are brought out in regard to the vagaries of the insane. Most of them, he said, were itching to write, and if furnished with writing materials they would spend most of their time in this occupation. Some of their productions show considerable literary ability, but the majority of them are tho" most senseless kind of jargon. The lecturer had a portfolio of these writings, many of which were in verse, but tho majority iu prose, which he read to the great amusement of Lis audience. Tho following was written by a young lady who was afFected with ho;:eh ss melaneholin, as tho character of the poem indicates: There is something which I dread It is a dark and dr. adfnl 1 1 1 i r ; It steal-- i.h'iig with wilherih r tp'ul, A rid Ms.'i'iw on wiM 1 ! - i 1 . 1 t : n's wing.

The author of tlie following was evi dently in a state of extreme mental dis order, for it is enough to make one's head swim even to read it: Oh, that my brain would bleat like but tered peas. And oft, by frequent bleating, cateh the itch ; Grow black and mangy as the Irish seas. To gender whirlwinds for some north ern witch. I grant that drunken rainbows, lulled to sleep.

The reason's plain, for Charon's western barge, Punning a tilt 'gainst tho subjective mood, HeckoniriT to P..-a-ley wood and gave the charge To fallen padlocks on antartio food. Tho next is said to have been written by a man v. i.o know that he vw.s insane, and did not hesitate to acknowledge Lis weakness: A m'r.i.-le, my friends, come view!

The custom of withdrawing the plove in handshaking is now a thing of the past. It had its oriein in the knight of tbe olden time taking off his iron gauntlet eo as not to hurt his lady's hand and has grulraliy be come nn obsolete fasi.i ,u, though one yet sees a gentleman who con siders it only due a lady that he should give her his br.ro hand. A young lady told me that she in curred the displeasure of a provincial acquaintance because i-he merely bowed instead of shaking hands with a gr.nr of girls with some of whom she had but slight a.- juaintanco, when entering a parlor at a country afternoon toa. Tiny called it " pntting on airs," when in fact it was their own igiu raiieo of the social necessities of the occasion that was at fault. Hut ti.e provincial young ladies evidently bel ieved in hand shaking as part of the code of manners. Yet at this same gathering my friend said the young people did not seem to see nny impoliteness in whispering or giggling in the room, or rudely staring at any dress that differed from their own stylo. What a very trying ordeal, too, is the loud-voiced greeting, where yonr hand is held and inquiry made after your welfare and that of your family so as to be heard all over the room. A mistake often made in social greetings is that of introducing a lady to a gentleman, which ia the reverse of correct. When tho sex is the same, in troduce the one yon consider inferior in social position or by reason of yonth, to the superior or older. When introduced it in etiquette to bow, but not to shake hands, and it is optional with a lady to recog nize he gentleman at the next meeting. I think I could easily tell a flirt if I saw her shake hands, from tho method of that character to linger over every hand as if that particular one came nearest her affections. In fact there is mnch to be learned of human nature in tho methods of social gatherings. Christian at Work. Important to 'un-S irutn rs.

The Chilian Government is charged w it'i rarrving on a novel war against the condor of the Andes, looking to its extermination. It has issued a proclamation declaring the bird to be an enemy to the republic, and offering a 1 louuty of S5 a head for every condor killed. The gigantic vulture lias increased so rapidly in the past few years all along the western slope of the great mountain chain that they have become a scourge upon tho country, and by a liberal bounty the Oov ernment hopes to exterminate or at least to reduce their number. A man w ho had heard the story was induced to visit Chili in the hopes of making money in condor hunting, he being an experienced mountain climber nnd hunter. l ive mnntlis of persistent hunting nn I trapping convinced him that he as not stiiart enough to cope with tin big-vi:v'od outlaw with tho ex pecta. ion of getting rich on condor bounties; and, further, that if Chili expects to rid itself of the bird every man. woman and child must take up arms against it. t onstant contact with man and persistent persecution have rendered the bird so wary and suspicious that it is next to impossible to get within gunshot of one. Snares are the only mtans of taking condors with any de gree of certainty, and even these the vulture has learned to avoid. They have the most wonderful power of vision and flight. Perched among the mountain peaks above the clouds, they watch the trails thousands of feet below- tin m. If an animal dies and is left in the plain, these monsters see it. Al though no human eye can distinguish the presence of a single bird, in a few secouds' time they will be seen dropping from the clouds like thund. r b -lis. Formerly the hunter took advantage of this by hiding within gunshot aud picking oil one or two condors be fore they could rise out of range. Traps were also set near dead ani nu.R J.ut this can rarely be done suc cessiidiy now so wavy has the condor become. The same wonderful eyes that keeji tlie trailing caravan in w.'W or discover tie- carcass left lyimr for its use, note idso the hunter's 1 iiiin" place or the trapper arr ", iug his siuuv and the bird sits quiet iv on its , lOOT tit on the wing, r.nle s you nr fortniiide enough to lie s. co ted l car some 1 fty peak, when tie bird com s rr.iling through tbe clou-Is to so' k a p.-r, h, is entirely cut of the question, for it flies ut al i;-.:o-s such :s no other bird atta'rs. This lying in wait far above tho mow line for a chance to put a b.dl ;'i. rough a condor is something th t l pii. -s rue-re grit and nerve than tiio average hiili tt r J " -s; '. ; rs. These birds hatch their young nmoncr the sn. .v. rr-d crags of the Andes sotm i'.c is pi.O'iO feet above the s. a. The bird has been seen at an altitude of 2lh(;'l: feet. nice in a great while a hunter ia bold enough to clamber among these crags iti search of nests. The capture of the young or the eggs is as profitable as killing a grown bird, but such, finds are few and far between. There are always two eggs in a nest, and as nothing ventnres to make the condor its prey except the hunter, when the bird makes its nest it does so with tiio certainty that none but the very bed. lest huntercan ap proach the nesting place. There is no more startling sight than from some snowy rock so high in the mountains that the clouds hi le tlie world from your view, to see one of those immense birds break through the dense vapor below you, and bad upward with the broad sweep of its wings in the haunts where it dwells iu solitude. It seems like some winged demon daring to seek the realms of the sky. This bird can stand a range of tem perature beyond which human exist ence is impossible. It is at heme among the snowy peaks of Chili and Peru as well as upon the burning sands of li' livia. With a sweep of wing twelve f- et in extent, the swiftness of its flight is such that it will sail out of siirht, notw it hstanding its vast size, v. it':, in a very few minutes. It may with ease eat its breakfast in the northern Andes and twelve hours later roost among the peaks of the southern seacoast. If it were possible to get nt the nests and eggs of the condor there would be some chance of extermina tion, hut the systematic scaling of icy peaks to the height of from 12.000 to ls,(M0 feet for the purpose of bird nesting, even nt 85 an egg, is not likely to prove profitable. Poisoning the bird might le made effectual, but unless some poison can be made so deadly that it will kill the bird as it stands over the carcass that means of extermination cannot be made practical. The hunter must produce evidence that he has killed a condor before lie can secure the bounty. That evi dence is the bird's head, which a poisoued bird carries off with him. Tlie auk and the buffalo can be ex terminated, and man is master of the situation with most birds and mam mals, hut tlie condor has the quality of self-preservation too admirably de veloped to make its annihilation ever prol (able. When the last South American dies there will bo plenty of condors among the peaks ready to devour his body. To Make Clothing; Waterproof.

Most authorities are of opinion that cheese is indigestible, yet even on this poi.it doctor- cannot agree. A distinguished French chemist has suggested that, to make cheese di-gt.-dible, a quarter of an ounce of potash should 1 added to cv ry pov.nd of cheese; while a (it-rman chemist has experimented upon several kinds of food such ns cheese, meat, milk and eggs and he boldly dr clarcs that cheese is no more indigestible than meat and many other articles of diet. Suppers aro usually condemned. Some doctors assert that suppers are not only unnecessary, but posi tively harmful; that sound sleep cannot be obtained after them, and that three meals a day aro sufficient. On the other hand, others are of opinion that a light supper is necessary to procure sound sleep. After a meaf, they say, blood is drawn toward the stomach to supply the juices needed in d ..Lest ion. lienee the brain receives hss blood than during fasting, becomes pale, ami the powvis become dormant. Sleep, therefore, ensues. A doctor savs that recently he was called at 2 a. m. to a lady who assured him that she was dying. The body was warm, he says, the heart doing honest work. To her indignation ho ordered butt' red bread to be eaten nt once. Obeying, tho " dying " woman war soon sin prised by a return of life and a desire to sleep. Milk is generally considered a pecul iarly nutritive fluid indeed, a perfect food and therefore suitable for r sons of ali ages when it agrees w ith their sb u.eichs; yet no less an authority than Sir Henry Thomson states that ' for us w ho have long ago achieved our full growth and can thrive on solid food it is altogether super fluous nnd mostly mischievous as a ilrink." He also pays that the primary object of drinking is to satisfy thirst, nnd that water is more power ful to tiiis ml when employed free from admixture with any solid ma terial. Chocolate, thick cocoa, or even milk, aro therefore not so effi cacious in allaying thirst asj water. " So plentiful is nutriment," ho r.d.'s, " th at the very last place where ve should seek that quality is the lb-ink which acft-mpauiea the ordinary id. -id." In this respect. at nny rate.
