Children Nursed by Wolves.
The Rev. Dr. Ellinwood, iu a letter from
Cawnpore, India, to the New York Evan
gelist, has the following paragraphs :
Our interest was greatly excited at the
Secundra orphanage by one inmate, known
as the "Wolf Boy." Within ten years
two boys, said to have been found living
wild with wolves, have been brought to
Mr. Erhardi for support. One of them
died about two years since, having proved
too untamable to endure human habits.
The one still remaining was found when
apparently about seven years of age, and
he has been eight years at the orphauage.
The story of his capture is this : Some
native farmers, being greatly troubled by
the incursions of wolves, followed them to
their dens, and proceeded "to smoke them
out" by building fires in the entrance. At
length the whole wolf family emerged, old
and young, and among them this boy,
running rapidly on hands and feet. The
story seemed to be corroborated by the fact
that, when brought to the orphanage, he
still bore the marks of the fire through
which he had passed. He also walked like
a quadruped, and would receive at first
ouly raw flesh, which he ate as wall the
carnivora do, gnawing it at the side of his
mouth. As we saw him he was standing
erect, and had learned to submit to clothing.
His expressions were of course unintelligi
ble, and sounded more like those of an
animal than like a human voice, though he
was scarcely more bestial in appearance
than many of the lowest grades of idiots.
There was, however, a restlsss motion of
the head and gnashing of the teeth, which
appeared decidedly canine.
That children have been nourished and
reared by wolves, is not to be credited with
out the very strongest evideuces.
The missionaries at Secundra, however,
and so far as I know, all other intelligent
citizens in the neighborhood, regard the
proof in these two cases as entirely valid.
Nor arc these the only "wolf boy" who are
claimed to have been found in India. Max
Muller, of London, on seeing some accounts
of these curious freaks of nature, opened a
correspondence, some months since with
various persons in India on the subject.
As a result there have appeared thus far
six cases, which seem to be well attested by
missionaries, and by officers in the civil and
military service. There is no country
where such would things be more likely to
occur than in India. The prevalence of
wild animal life, even in well-settled districts,
i3 surprising. We saw in one instance not
less than thirty huge apes in one baud only
a few rods from the railway. Deer or
gazelles were frequently seen feeding with
in easv shot of laborers in the field. On
two occasions goats were carried off by
wolves from the missiou compounds, in
which we were spending the night. Accord
ing to a recent census of the northwest
provinces, 2,000 lives were destroyed in
one year by wild animals, mostly wolves.
The great majority arc children who are
.i t . i p ii it. .
snatcnea away at niginran irom me
vicinity sometimes from the very doors
of their rude homes.
With these facts no further light can be
.i i . n ,i il
given on tne sudjccl or ine woii-uoys.
Whether the maternal instinct of the woli,
when not particularly hungry,
miirht
in
one of 10,000 cases take such a freak as to
protect a child, which she intended to cat,
and allow it to share her prey, is a ques
tion for each theorist to decide for himself.
It is worthy of note that all these children
arc idiots. If we suppose that they were
orijrinally sound, their wolf regimen has
reversed the Darwinian process, and borne
them back to bestiality, both in body and
in mind.
A Dog on Duty.
When the "Spankers" were in the
Crimea, a large dog, I don't exactly know
of what breed, but universally admired for
beauty and intelligence, attached himself to
that particular corps. herevcr the
regiment marched, lie invariably accom
panied the troopers. Several times he
went into action, and was once seriously
wounded with the point ot a lance. It
would have been universally regretted had
poor Luffin's wound proved fatal. One of
the farriers undertook to dress it, so that,
with a little care, he soon got well again.
Where the dog came from, or who his
original owner, nobodly knew. He would
never follow an individual soldier beyond
the barrack gates, however kindly he might
be invited : but when the men were in full
dress, whether mounted or on fuot, provid
ed they went out in a body, Lufhn insisted
r - y-v
on taking up lus proper position, une
thing was very remarkble he had sufficient
discernment to enable him to distinguish a
"church parade" from any other. II
never showed any desire to attend public
worship.
At the beginning ot his military career
he had to pick up his living as best he
could. He was accustomed at meal times
to go from hut to hut, or among the tents,
when the men were under canvas. In some
of these habitations lie met with good treat
ment and a supply of food, but from others
he was not unfrequently summarily and
ignominiously ejected. However, Luffin,
n .11 1
in course oi lime, was anoweu
regular
ra-
tions at the regimental espouse,
toward
which all the members ot the corps con
tributed a share, from the colonel to the
drummer. The noble animal must have
hof n aware of his promotion, lor it was
observed that he never went "a-begging
after. One of Luffin's marks of high in
telligence I cannot personally vouch for
hut T have been assured of its truth. It
was said and generally believed that he. was
in the constant habit of visiting the sentries
during the night, especially in the Crimea,
to sec if the men were at their post and on
the alert. The reader must .be told that,
during a campaign, the troops are often so
much harassed and fatigued that sentries
will occasionally fall asleep as they stand
an act, however, which is looked upon as
m, v t
one or the gravest ot military onenses. It
Luffin found a man asleep, he sat before
lum in silence ; but the slightest sound ot
approaching footsteps was sufficient to
make him apprise the sleeper of the danger
to which he was exposed. He would then
trot off to the next post, where he scarcely
halted if convinced that all was well. I
am glad to be able to record the tact, that
his faithful services, in due time, obtained
for Luffin the resnect of every member of
the corps. It would have been a hih
misdemeanor to offer him indignity.

How a Woman Buys Meat.
When a women enters a butcher shop
to select a piece of meat for dinner, she has
her mind made up to take a mutton roast.
Thfrrdoro. when the butcher rubs his hands
aud asks what will she have, she promptly
replies :
I'll take some of that unit'
She stops there. ' Her eyes have caught
sight of a ham. and she suddenly decides
to take a ban.
Is that nice ham ?' she inquires.
' Best ham I ever saw, madame. How
1 ni
much :
' Well 3'ou may give me three p .
Well I don't know cither. My husband
was saying he'd like some sausage. Have
you any real nice sausage ?'
l'lenty, madame. ow, men, now muen
do you want '?'
' It's pork sausage, it is ?'
Yes, ma'am.'
' Well, I suppose a pound would be en
ough for our small lannly, but but
Shall I weigh a pound, madame ?'
' I was just wondering if a veal pot pie
wouldn't suit him better,' she answered.
'Vou have veal I suppose ?
'Oh, yes, madame. Here's a splendid
bit of veal as good a piece as 1 ever saw
Yes, that does look nice veal,' she savs,

' About a pound, madame.'
' And it was a young hog?'

How Much Lime we Use.
A physician, in his recent work on physi

the bones of every adult person required
to be fed with lime enough to make a man-
