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. TKJtBA OOFTA. 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 Albert memorial Half, as alto of I he South Kensington Museum.

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. UBS-JUtK YOl'H MAIM.
