Little five-year Void Robbie bad a •"rest affection for all kinds of animals, did owned a cat and a dog which he could never l*car to have out of his sight, and it was all that mamma could do to induce him to allow Frincc and Tabbic io go to the stable at uight instead of sharing his bed. Last Summer, how ver, while he was iu the country, spend ing a few weeks with grandpa, he formed a new friendship, which for a time drove all thought of his old play tellows out of his mind. Out* day, while he was playing in the garden, he espial a big, fat toad sitting under a lettuce-lo*i, an*l busily engaged in swallowiug a large wrorm which he caught. Now Rohbie ha* an inipiiriug mind, so instead of rushing up au*t scaring him, as niist children wouhl have ilonc, he t v\l quietly by to watch him. The worm was large and strong and had a decided objection to being swal lowed. The toad was. however, firm in his purpose; he struggled, and swal lowed a half inch at a time, while the worm writhed around above his ht>a*l and seemed about to crawl forth from his couflnement, as the toad's jaws were losing their grip. But he was not to be defrauded of his dinner; so. bringing his right hand to his aid, he succeeded, after a little effort, in getting hold of the worm in hi* stiwuach from the outside, and held fast while he made an eud-of his prey. R.*bbie st once ran to the honse and told his grand pa and mother what he had seen. They could hardly credit it. but the next day when grandpa went out to hoe his potatoes, Robbie followed to collect the earth worms for his pet, who made his home under a large dnmp of lilac bushes close bv the parlor wiu dows. He'n.id no trouble with the small ones, but when given an enormons old fellow, gtamipa with his own eyes saw the same porfor:.iauee Robbie hau wit nessed the day before. After that, Mr. Toad lived on the fat of the land, so to speak, for whenever worms or bugs were found they were thrown to hiia. In these same lilacs a yellow-bird had made her nest, and now there were four bM&tital baby birds. Their mother was very fond of them, and speut all of her time in caring for them—bringing them food, covering theni from wind and rain witn her srift wines, or singing them to sleep with the most delightful music. The :iost was small and the birds got bigger very fast, and it seemed some times. when the branches swayed more than usual, that they must fall out. One afternoon when Robbie went to look at them from the parlor windows, there were but three in the nest. One had gone, but where? He looked all around under the bashes but could not find it. The next tlay another one was missing, and the Jay after the nest was empty. But as grandpa was hunting for them on the ground, he saw something just disappearing down the toad's throat thai looked imspicionslv like the legs of a very small bird. The thought came to him that he might pisaibly be reajxm sible for the death of all the downy darling*, and at once determined to have iiirn killed iu order to see if it were so. Robbie begged for his life, but grand pa would not relent and called John to come with the ax. When Mr. Toad came to be dissected, two of the birds were found in his stomach, and they felt no doubt as to what had been the fate of the others. In one corner of the front yard there was a large fountain, and oftentimes, just at night, the shrill uotes of a tree toad could be heard coming, seemingly, from the middle of the basin. After much search, Rohbie found him perched on the edge of the fountain, where he was just moistened by the spray. He seemed quite at home there, and grew so much accustomed to having pk very muoh liko n tly under it mbhiffe leaf. "(hssl morning, Mr. Storekeeper.

W onUrrlal spUrr'a \\ rb. Boys, and girls km, may be interested to know something about the spider's web. They will be instructed if they read the following, taken from the "World of Wonder*:" " Across the ' Hinuy paths' of Ceylon, where the forest meets the open country, ami which constitntetllie bridle-roads of the island, an enormous spider stretches its web at the height of from four to eight feet from the ground. The cordage of these webs is fastened on either side to projecting shoots of trees or shrul>a, and is so strong as to hurt the traveler's face, and even lift off his hat, if he is so nu lneky a* not to see the line. The nest in tile eeuter is sometimes as large as a man's head, and is cxmtinnally grownup larger, as it is formed of successive lay ers of the webs rolled over each other, sheet after sheet, into a ball. These successive envelopes contain the limbs and wings of insects of all descriptions, which have been the prey of the spider and hi* family, who occupy the den formed fh their midst. There seems to be no doubt that the spider casts the web ltxise and rolls it round the nucleus in the center when it becomes over charged with carca--se*, and then pro ceeds to construct a fiveh one, which in its turn is destined to be folded np with the rest."

Tribune. Women in China. Miss King, who has traveled much in China, thinks the Chinese ladies are as much slaves of fashion as Western ladies The higher classes of Chinese ladies are tanght to control their voices; that it is not polite to speak above a cer tain tone. They also study attitudes and effects before a g!a*s for hours at a time, jmt like ours, and they bandage their feet for the same reason that our girls cramp theirs, and tighten their wai-ts in order to priOToe elegance and gentility of form. Women do not live single in China. There is hardly a single woman to lie found in China; all the efforts of the parents are devoted to get ting her married, and a female chili is often promised to the son of a friend be fore she is born. Daughters are unde*- sired all over tbe world, anil in China, with reason, even more than in America; for the lot of a girl, if she is poor, is terrible, and mothers and fathers, too, would rather see them die than live to inherit it That is the reason that fe male infanticide is so common in China. They consider it a justifiable act to rid her of the evils to come. Moreover, a daughter is hardly consid ered as belonging to her parents or to her own family. As soon as she is|be trothed—which is as quickly as a suita ble husband can be found—she is adopted into his family, is brought up and educated by them, and even if he should die, would be at their disposal to bestow in marriage, if they choose, upon some one else. She has the al ternative, however, of dedicating her i selt to the memory of her affianced, and such an act is considered very praise worthy. If she should do so, and lived Ito be a hundred veers old, faithfully fulfilling aer vows, aud worshipping the tablets of her ancestors, she wonld have a pagoda creeled to her memory. There are several such in China. Pari* Exposition Note*.

Still there i- a splendor alamt it unequalled in its way, and any one who can come should not fail to cooie and see. The Alaskan*. It is cold enough in Alaska, but not so cold as some jxople imagine. The natives, however, keep their chickens under their la-ds at 'night, to protect them from the cold. These people ar very fond of oata, and every family owns at least eight or ten, and night is made hideous in consequence. In apj*arttnoe these natives resemble uegroe*, and are very polite and civil to every one. They live on the flesh of the seal, for though the whites may despise it, the natives regard it as their chief food. Thev use the blabber for fuel, aud to feed the chickens. Liqnor, of which they are passionately fond, ia not allowed on the islands, and, therefore, they manufac ture a kind of lxwr, composed of half a dozen different things, rice, sugar, water, etc., and on this decoction they manage to get very dmuk indeed. The seals, by the way, are very easily caught, for they are not at all timid. A man can walk among them as among the hogs in a barn-yard, and they are driven up into the island, and into pens, where they are slaughtered. The flesh j* >*- KS>S very little taste ; it is neither gcxxl nor hail, and therefore ia not pleasant to eaL Dogs an* never allowed to come nix in theae islands, where most of the seals are caught, for they disturb and frighten them by barking. For four or five mouths in the year, Alaska ia endurable ; but it is the dreariest of all places in winter. Ouce in two years the bishop comes to the islands to marrv all those who have a dewin* to try wedded life. They must take tlicir chance then, or wait for another two vears to pass. Thns, with timid swains it is often " now or never." Karljr Kgjptiari IMtie*. A late traveler on the Nile thus notf Egyptian mythol ogy: The confusion iml need in one's lirain by the number of Egyptian deities; their different attributes and even individuali ties being constantly merged into each other; ami the fact that several different triads of gods were worshipixxl in dif ferent localities; all this makes the study of Egyptian theology a most confusing and disheartening task to the amateur. At Thebes the triads of gods represented by Amnion Ha (the sum, Maut (or the mother), and Kohns (the son), were worshipped. " Ammon is father to himself. He is the generating spirit from the very commencement—the two fold l>eiug at once father and mother,and existing to all eternity." Then agnin, in regard to the triad more; universally worsiiipped in Egypt in those days— Osiris, THIS, his consort, ami Horus, their son. Osiris was tin' great creative spirit of Goodness and Truth and Light; the eternal antagonist of Evil and Dark ness and Falsehood. He is overcome and put to death bjhis brother Typhon, the genius of Evil. He rises again and becomes the Judge of the Dead ever the forty-two homes or provinces of Egypt. Here again one cannot fail to trace some dim foreshadowing of our own faith in one perfect Essence of Truth ami Light and Jleueficenoe, who should die through the temporary victory of evil, tint rise again in glory to la* our Judge. 0.-iris in his character of judge is always de picted with a crook and a flageolum; the crook to draw to himself those who were to he rewarded, the flageolum to chas tize the unworthy.

A Japanese, on the other hand, indicates his political proelivitit < by the mode in which he wears his 1 air, and may be recognized as an imperialist, a feudalist, or a radical, by bis top-knot, hi* shaven temples, or his close-cropped head. The orthodox Samurai fashion is still in high favor, with the front part of the head shaved, a small short cue worn as a sort of crest, and al! trace* of a beard carefully removed.

The develop ment of the head seems to lie entirely 111 tho upper region, which gives it the appearance of a pear. The chin and cheeks are almut the average size, as are also the eyes, oars and noae. The "swell ing" begins ju-t alsive these organs, and extend* gradually to the top of his head, which is well nigh Hut. The skin seems to have been drawn up by the act ion, and hence has kept the eye* in quite a peculiar shape, lie *e straight when he, lyttig in lied, looks at those stand ing at the head of it.

The attack WHS at one begun bv "Ttge," who ruahed wildly njKn the lion and tossed him ten fe-t into the air. The monarch of the forest fell heavily to the ground, but iiiiinediktely sprung up and made a fear ful spring at the bull. The Texan re ceive*! him on his horns and again gored him in the side and threw htm savagelv against the iron bars, bleeding and bad ly braised, and then virtually put an end to the combat, for the ferocious " Old George" had the lighter effectually knocked out of him, and refused to cxime to time, although he was repeateiDy challenged by the Texan. Ohaer after cheer arose from the excited crowd in the great ampitheater, every cue of whom had mounted the seat* when the bull proved himself the victor. The canvas was then drawn letween the combatant*, and the holloas that en countered this same bull laat week wan turned in with her mate. The curtain was again iirwwu aside, and the pair were turned against the bull.

A Narrow Escape from Wolves About lon o'clock on last Satnrday night as Mr. Minor, of the town of Langnla, Benton County. was driving from his own'honse to Mr. Morrill's, having with him his wife ami three chil dren, and when near the Joeelvn school honse, he, was attacked by five largo timber wolves. The fierce beasts sprang at hi" horses, and when Mr. Miner struck at the nearest ono with hia whip, it made a leap to get at him. bnt. sfrnck against the wagon bo*. At this moment Mr. M.'s dog bravely attacked tbis wolf, and was at once set noon by the whole pack ami killed and almost entirely de vonred. This gave Mr. Miner an op portunity to whip up hia horaea and make off. which he did at a full gallop, calling out loudly for help. Hia cries attraided the attention of Mr. Jooelyn and family, who came to the rescue and the wolves were driven off. But for the fortunate interference of the dog, the result might have beeu mneh more seri- 1 ana. An attack of this kind bv wolves j is almost without precedent in this part of the Btate, and it must, be that the animals were driven to it by ravenous j hunger.— iSU Cloud (Aftan. 1 Journal.
