How k) Support a Family of Four On
Tiventyjive Cents a Day.
Mary was not a very strong woman,
and she had four to Support on twenty-
ve omits a day, and by self-denial and
arithmetic she did it. Her rent was
60 cents a week, arid there was fuel to
btu' and oil and food.; This is the way
she did it: She appropriated 7 cents
each day for rent, 6 for fuel, 2 for oil,
and 10 for food. Now the oil never coat
quite the daily two cents for Sundays,
and in summer she used, none • so out
of the oil Darnley camp the lacing cent_
for rent, and whatever lse was saved
out of it went for wick, a chimney*, or
something of that kind. She arranged
with a coal merchant to bring him 36
cents each Saturday evening; her coal
was safe in her cellar, the men mixed
it with coke for her, mid in summer
she used so little that her money ac-
cumulated in his hands, and he put
fuel in her cellar for it when fuel was
cheapest, and so her Winter supply was
sufficient as she doled it out. As she
had a fire and conveniences for wash
, ing and ironing, a poor woman did h aa
washing and Mary's together in Ma- aysa
cellar every week, an ironed for b
a tub of stids was left, and atslight
Mary scoured her windows and -fa'rna_
ture. Her place was always e ite.„an , 80
were her children; couseque ntly they
were healthy. Early ever's. lamming
alio sent out the boy and gh .i with a bag
and basket to pick up bits of wood, pa-
per and pasteboard for kindling. pa-
per
aunamer sometimes tide supply was
good enough to boil the water and so
save coal. The little children returned
early from their taxpedition ; the boy
washed and comb al and hurried to a
grocer's, a baker's, and a butcher's in
the vicinity to sale if there were any er-
,aands or any sislbsvalk cleaning for him.
Regularly he went each morning, and
if there was work he got for' it his
breakfast, or a penny or a stale loaf.
The food thus given him for his work
was the whole Sabbt th supply, for on
Sunday Mary was earning nothing.
Saturday mornings the boy cleaned
steps or areas for a couple of houses in
. au adjacent street, g tting for his work
soap -fat, of which h s prudent mother
made ber soap, and in quantity suffi-
cient to enable her t trade some to a
grocer's wife for the lye she used. On
Saturdays, also, bot the boy and girl
extended their fuel hunt and offered
their services at more stores and stalls
for errands, and the , pennies -or worn
elothine earned in this way supplied
the fambily wardrobe; though it eost the
mother many a late evening's work in
patching and turning to. make it do.
Every day the boy and girl Went to
the public school, and, encouraged by
their mother, worked hard as those who
is.esv that schooling was a boon and
meant somethinsbto them. On Sab-
bath, clean, if shabby aid thinly clad,
they all four took the most obscure
teat in a mission church. They never
begged nor obtruded their troubles on
people, and I doubt if they were known
or ever got any help beyond perhaps a
trifle now and thenI from the school
teacher.
"Still loan not comprehend how 10
cents a day fed four, even with: an Obi
casional meal to the boy and a stale
I
loaf,"
I
"Nor did I until I got Marrs bill of
fare and ferreted oult her reei,liod of
making two ends meet. She always
traded at the sa-me 'shops, where she
was known, and carrying some basin or
pitcher of her own for her small pur-
chases, she saved Ithe shop -keeper's
paper and string, and so they did not
begrudge serving her Hales. She asked
the butcher to save lier bones and meat
trimmings, which she could buy by the
2 or 3 cents' worth, more to flavor her
food than to be food. As she regularly
bought at the same place., she often re-
ceived little gifts or accommodations,
which eked out her Store."
Miss Help searched in her desk,drew
out a slip of paper, and read this poor
woman's method of feeding four people
for 10 cents a day :
" Monday: One-half pound barley, 3
cents; half a pound corn mea,1,2 cents ;
half pound. dried beans, 3 centsscrap
raeat, 2 cents. Thb corn meal made
into, mush was their breakfast; the
beans and half the scrap meat to flavor
them made dinner; half the barley,
boiled with a little scrap meat, made a
supper. You see h reawere three very
wholesome, nou isilling, digestible
dishes, capable of ging a long way in
supporting :exist° ce. Tuesday: Salt
pork, 3 'cents ;• mol sses, 3 cents; salt
2 cents; half a pou d of -corn meal, 2
cents. The barley left from the day
before was, with melasses, their break-
fast; a few of the beaus had also been
retained, and boiled 'with the pork
and some meal was a dinner, and corn
meal and a little rciolasses made their
ellipper. The salt would suffice them
for a week, and the' molasses was not
all used that day. edniesday :- 3 cents
for potatoes unless otatoes were dear,
and if so she bought the cheapest vege-
tables to be had; 2 cents for bones or
seraps to boil with tllie vegetables; half
a pound. of split pe,
e s, and 2., cents for
' corn meal. Thursday :1 3 cents for
pork, 3 cents for beans, 3 ceuts for bar-
ley, and 1 cent for 'pepper. Friday: 4
cents for corn meal, 3 cents for molas-
ses, 3 cents for 'peas. Saturday: 3
cents for beans, foq cents for butchers'
sicraps, and 3 cents, for potaaoes, cab-
bage, or seine other 'vegetable. Sunday
had to take its chance ma a loaf earned
by the boy at the baker's, or a little
food saved out of the week, or some
gift to the boy for runnieg the grocer's
errands. If by any chance Mary saved
a cent out o'...- her clav's food, it went
into a little box, as a saving for clothes
or the inevitable shoeS for, winter.
Their living seemed a daily miracle ; it
was the nairacle of perseverance, sound
judgment and careful ealculation. Mary
took all the sleep which sho could,
sparing herself sewing at night, and so
saved fuel and lights and her own eyes.
Her food was regularly taken, cooked
as well as possible, and always of a kind
I to bring the best return in health and
strength. They worked in this way for
five years, the boy earning more money
as he needed more clothes; then atthir-
teen he got al situation with the coal
man. In two years more the girl got a
place with the baker's wife, for all the
neighborhood had learned to respect
this family in their struggle against
beggary. For two years before she
went out the girl had helped her
mother in se -wing, and so secured her
clothing; the youngest girl had. fallen
heir to the kindling gathering, area
cleaning, and. errands. When her sis-
ter was elevated to a servant's position,

than
of da
ing ti• ae past five years no less
17 1,11. Ale lions have seen the light
ti laugh only six reached the age
of in tr asay.
The details of their nursing are pe-
culias a. The lioness is not approached
mit; 41 the cubs are fully three or four
Ear intlis old-. They are then, by means
° e Strategy, 'separated, and. weaning
corereenced. A quart of milk, together
'with' nice, bonelesssjuicy cutlets and
tidbits, are given °them daily until the
seventh month, which is the critical
period of cubs. If they get over that,
they stand a' fair chalice of living a
.long time, though the period of tooth -
shedding, which generally occurs at
twelve months, is attended with great
danger.
Itisa known, fact th.at lions attach-
ed to travelling vans, under proper
care, are the most healthy and lively,
and thrive better than those in zoo-
logiCal gardens. In this country a
lion has beenI exhibited, thirty-five
years, and, as far as could be judged,
was fifteen years old when captured;
so that he certainly was over fifty
when, he died. In eight out of ten
cases cougestion of the longs carries
1
them off.
The amount of food given a lion is
less than ,one would suppose, 13 pounds
of beef a day, with , bones ad libitum,
being a fair allowance: When fed re-
gularly they show little disposition to
glut' themselves, and will rarely exceed
15 pounds, though a chance be given
them. The greatest of care is exercised
in keeping their cages clean, as they are
constantly shedding their hair, an accu-
mulation of which adhering to their
food, and, being ssvallowed, makes theft
sick, • '
• The largest.number of these animals
are imported from the French Province
of Algeria. There is no affection in a
lien ,; he knows his keeper and fears
him, and will obey him, but there is no
affection between them. The value of
lions is` varied, though a sood pair
will readily bring $4,000, and b the de-
mand is constant. Rare animals are
sought after constantly by the various
zoological institutions and menagerie
owners, in many instaneas they having
paid fabulou_s prices for: the more rare
speeies. Tigers command about the
same price -as lions, but are compara-
tively scarce and not so popnlar as the
Elephants always find a ready. mar-
ket, taaili or three being imported yearly,
into this country, and sell .without trou-
ble at $6,000 to 48,000. Even a dead
elephant will find a ready buyer at from
$100 to $300. The African specimens
are the finest, being twice the Size of
their Indian brothers.
Giraffes are exceedingly rare in the
United States, in nearly every case be -
ins able only to make the voyage from
the Cape to England or the 'continent.
The voyage to this country enfeebles
them -so that they die during the trip
-or immediately after landing here.
The Ileast cold sensibly hurts them.
They are dainty feeders, and- much
given to consuming cabbages. They
are valued at from $8,000 to $10,000 a
pair.
The rhinoceros and hippopotamus
market is always an active one, as
very few have ever reached this coun-
try alive. The bath of the latter ren-
ders his transportation impossi-
ble.
The South American monkey is al-
ways in demand, while these of Africa
ate a drug on the market, they being
dull and lazy and easily caught. The
methods of catching them are numer-
ous. In South America the natives fill
gourds with rum,' which the monkeys
drink, and, becoming totally ini.con-
scious under its effectaare easily taken.
In Africa, wooden vessels are used,
late which they thruat their hands,
and cannot remove them. They range
in value all the way from $1 up to
$500.
Afric4„ is the greatest stock farm
for animals. The Boers, a hundred
or two miles above the Cape, are
constantly catchinganimals, and find
a ready market hi Cape 'Town for
them.
Stories of animals and animal -catch
ers are numerous and marvelous, but
many -61 them are so tainted with ex-
aggeration„ that it is asking too much
of common sense readers to wade
through them.—N. Y. Witness.

General Grant's Turkish
Horses.
In March last when General Grant
in course of his cruise in the Vandalia
came to Constantinople, his first visit
was paid to the Sultan. Immediately
after this interview His Majesty charged
Munir Bey, the Master of Ceremonies,
to present the General with an Arab
horse from the Inaperial stables. Ac-
cordingly a number were -led out, and
one chosen and set aside for him ; but,
owing to some misunderstanding, the
gift horse was not sent, and the Van-
dalia sailed without him. Recently,
the question having been revived, the
steed, in question was hunted up among
the 50 horses which compose the Im-
perial stud. He was found, and, ac-
eompanied by a secOnd horse, also for
General Grant, transferred to the care
of the American Legation. Arrange-
ments have been made to send them ia
a few days in the Norman Monarch, a
steamer of 2,000 tons capacity, which
w1il probably sail direct to New Haven.
Tl ey are to be housed on deck, provid-
ed4 with canvas belts to swing in, in
rough weather, and treated. like saloon
passengers: So it is to be reasonably
hoped. that the end of their thirty days'
passage will find them sound in wind
and linib. One 18 a dappled grey of
fair size, and having all the traits char-
acteristic of the Arabian blood,—sniall,
Well -set, restless ears, wide, pink hos-
ancl large, soft eyes, waving mane,
and long tail reaching 'almost to the
ground, and a skin of such delicacy
that the stroke of a lady's whip is suffi-
oient to draw blood. The other stal-
lion has all these points. He is a glossy
bl Ick, with a white star on his fore -
hod, and white hind feet. When the

long forelock falls over his forehead, the
large, black eyes have all the expres-
sion of a Bedouin wornan's.1 Their gait
1 is perfect, be it either the rapid walk,
the long, swinging trot, or the tireless,
stretching gallop, while a rein of on
thread of silk is enough to guide their
delicate mouth. Let one of these
Arabs, in the mad rush of a charge or
flight, lose his rider, and that instaut
the docile steed will stop as though
turned into stone. These two horsee
aro of the famous Saktan race, the
purest Arabian blood only found in and
near Bagdad. The dapple gray is ap-
ropriately named Djeytan (The
Panther), and the Fblack Missirli (The
One from Cairo), which cognomen he
derives froth the - fact that he was
bought at Cairo, although foaled at
Bagdad. For breeding purposes, as
,well as for saddle -horses, their blood
and temper are high recommendations,
and I have no doubt that our great
General will be highly pleased with the
Sultan 's gift.—Cor.
• Gold Fish.
Either in ponds or in glass vessels
these beautiful fish are objects of inter-
est. In the Central Park the large
ponds are fully stocked with them and
catfish, the feeding of which is the daily
amusement of scores of children. In
large pieces of water they do well if left
entirely to themselves- When in glass
vases, they can live without food for a
very,leng while, but it is better to give
them Obcasionally a few crumbs of
bread oir small flies, or' the lame of
large ties. The srnall fishes are the
handsomest. Many of the large ones
in the parks are very dull in appear-
ance.
Haire a small net to remove them
wlien changing the water; if you catch
them in the hand you may injure them
by being too careful to prevent their fall -
Aug. The prettiest vase is globular,
suspended by a brass or gilt chain; they
are thus out of the reach of cats who
are always ready to pay too much atten-
tion to all small pets.
