A writer In tlio Anlmiil Kingdom,
a papor fostered by Mr. Ucrgit pro
sonta somo statistics on the relation
of cruelty and crime, and also points
out the connection that exist, bo-
tweon pets and kindness. Out of
2,000 convicts or whom Inquiry was
maao an nut is staiea inai tney nan
no peta at home. This accords with
the observations of nearly ovory In
telllgant person. The man who
keeos a cross, surly doar. Is aronernllv
a morose, surly fellow himself. The
well-kept, well-trained spaniel Is
found to have a gentleman for a
master, a policeman is seldom can
ed ton house where thero Is a cat pur
ring on the hearth, and a canary bird
hanging In the window. Cruelty
to animals Is pretty certain to
lead to crime towards men.
Tho boys living about stockyards
and employed in slaughter houses
are tho worst customers to be found
in schools. They soem to delight in
torture and giving pain. On the
contrary, crime Is almost unknown
among shepherds.

Butllttlo Is known In this country ol
terra cotta, which nbroad cnteis so largely
Into ornamental architecture. In Its
manufacture, clay, Hint, glass and fossil
containing phospliato ot lime, are pow
dered and mixed with water Into paste,
which Is then ground and beaten until all
air bubbles are expelled. It It then moulded
directly by the artist and burned, having
first been glazed and tinted to suit the
taste, 'the material thus formed Is both
cheap and Jumble. Neltlier heat, cold
nor any moisture affects It. And there Is
this turther advantage hi lis we, that If
can bo molded by the artist hlmtellas If It
.were so much day, whereas stone mutt be
cut. 'there seems lo be no good reason
why terra cotta should not come Into gen
eral nte In this country. In England It
has long been a tavorlto material, and It
enters largely Into parti ol tho elegant

A llOSVir. WITH A LOSII HCMOIIY.
Many years ago. Mr. Abram Dodge, ol
tho town of lptwh.li, Mass., owned n beau
tiful horse which was the pet oflho family.
Ha was admired by all who knew hit
phyfulncss and good nualltlcatlonl. In
the hummer it was Mr. Dodge's habit nc
cutloualy In havo n frolic with hit Itorse
in hit bnru-iard, then let htm out alone,
nnd ho would go to Iho rhcr, ithlch was
about onc-tl.I'il ol a tulle distant, where lie
would Iwtlie, then go to n common and
mil on lha grist, then with tho freedom
of air start for hit homo. Hit stable was
rnovatcd for him while he wat gone, aud
hit breakfast put In hit crib. Ifliomet
hit matter ho would show soma coltish
pranks, bound for tho stable, pull out the
wooden pin that fattened tho door with
his teeth, and nirii to tho manager where
he expected to And hi food. Jno night
tlio hni-Mt was stolen from the stable. Af
ter tho expiration of sixteen jc.-irl Mr.
Dodge was at Iho t.lTcrn wlieu n man
dro a horso up to tho door. Mr. Dodge
at once recognized hit hone, and Ira told
the drltcr his reasons for believing it lo bo
hlj the man toldot whom he bought tlw
horse, and said that he lind owned him lor
several years. Mr. Dodgo claimed his
horse, and it was finally agreed that If the
horse woul I on being taken lo his old sta
ble, go Ihrongh the luibtt ot bathing, roll
ing on tbo grass, aud pulling the pin from
th stable-door as nbovo described, that
Mr, Dodgo should have Dim. When the
horse was let out Into his old yard he re
viewed tlie premises for a moment, then
started for 111 old bath-tub, tlten lor Ids
green towel on the common, then to his
old stable, pulled the wooden pin, won lor
hlmscll a good meal, and hit old master
his favorite horse. These tacts are vouch
safed lor reliable old resident of the beauti
ful, plcturesnue old town, and show con
clusively the long memory of our noblest
animal.
