GAVE TIIE GAME AWAY. A certain regiment in India was about to be inspected by a certain general just out from England, who was very particular that the cap- tain of each regiment should know the name of every man in his com- pany, and also where he came from. Now it happened that the captain of this particular regiment had just returned from twelve months' leave, and during his absence many changes had occurred. On the morning of the inspection the captain addressed his company as follows :— "Now, men, the general is par- ticular that I should know every man's name, and also to whet county he belongs. Now, there are many here who are strangers to me, so whatever I say your names are, or where you belong to, mind you don't contradict it." The general at length arrived, and as be passed, down the lines he stopped before a man and said to the captain :-- "This is a smart -looking soldier. What is his nanie ?" "Brown, sir," replied the eoptain. "Where does he come from ?" , "Wiltshire, sir." The general passed nin, and soon stopped before another man. "What's this man's name ?" "Jones, sir." "Where does he come from ?" "Devon, sir," "Ah, I'ra a Devonshire man my- self. Fine county, is Devon, is it not, Private Jones ?" said the gen- eral. Private Jones looked startled for monaent, and then, in a broad Irish brogue, replied :— 'Bedad, an' there ain't a foine eounthry in the world, yer 'comer."

In measles a rash nppears on the fourth day of the fever. It Is first seen on the forehead. face ttnd neck, after- ward over tbe whole body. It consists of raised red spots. In scarlet fever the rash appears on tbe second day of the fever, commencing on tbe upper part of the chest and neck, whence it spreads over the body. In smallpox an eruption is seen on the third or fourth day on the face, neck and wrists. In chicken pox the eruption is made of mall blebs. In typhoid fever the rash rarely shows Itself before the seventh day of the fever. The spots are rose colored, and they disappear on pressure. lIenty's Young Critic.. G. A. Henty, the writer for youth. frequently got letters from admirers all over the world asking for his auto- graph and offering criticisms of his books. In a story of the peninsular war he made two boys disguise them- selves by stnining their faces with Iodine. Shortly after the book was published he received a letter from a boy, who saidhe was a ehenalers as- sistant, stating that while that special incident was represented as taking place in 1808 iodine was not discovered until 1811, three years after. An Intelligent Dog. A. gentleman once had a very hand- some and intelligent collie ID his pos- session. One day he lost the dog when taking It through the city. The crea- ture In vain searched everywhere for his master and at last, seeing a bansom cab creeping leisurely along, jumped into it and settled himself determined- ly on the seat. The driver tried to en- tice it out, but without success, and a little' crowd collected. None dared to tackle the dog, but at last a facetious 'Spectator sheeted out, "I, say, Bill, darn me if be don't want to be druv home." "That's tO; that's what he wants," they all agreed araill shouts of 'laughter. Then one examined his col- lar and found an address clearly en- graved upon it. Without turner ado cabby jumped up and drove up to this taaine addreu, which proved to be the coned one. Needless to say, the cab- man was substantially rewarded. The dog had been in the habit of driving home every evening with his Master in a hansom and; with doggie reasoning, had decided to'follow his usual custom when he had given up hope of finding his Master.—London Opinion.
