Careful observers have put on rec ord some very extraordinary instances of dogs and other animals which have remembered injuries put upon them, and have eventually retallated, says London Answers. There is a terrible story 6n record Of i dog, a huge inastif', kept as a watchdog by a Staffordshire gentle int. The great brute was kept chained In the stable yard, and during the very hot weather ono of the grooms, noticing the creature panting with heat, threw a bucket of cold wa ter over him. A week later the dog was loose when the sitie man entered the yard. le sprang tiponi hin and caiglot him by the throat and killed hii. A toniehing little episode happened a few yeatrs ago In a Worcester vil lage. A boy was the prouid owner of a very handsome pair of fox terriers, named Miek and Jerry. Jerry went off one day Into a wood nettr by and tackled a badger, whieh killed him. Iaymond, his master, went out to look for hin, but could not ind hieh. But two (Iys ifter Miek wias found mourn Ing over the (lead body of his coin panion. le wits brought back. One day he did not returi. Ills mutster :earched and found him laying dead, his teeth in the throat of the badger, which was also killied. An anmusiiig incident wis that of an Indian elephaiit whose revenge on a new imahout whom he took a dislike to was rathelr futitny. Ile pleked him up nnd deposited him in t lie branches of a it horni tree. NO NEED FOR FURTHER TALK Argument Had Convinced Man That Arctic Expedition Was Just the Place for Him.

"You have very little to eat, and you might starve to death." "Thit wouldi't be pleasant," ob served the visitor. "I should say niot," returned the officer. "And you might be eaten by your coirales." "And then," continued the olilcer, "you wouldn't see your wife for three years, and possibly longer. You know you can't take her with you." "Oh I" returned the would-be ex plorer, after P long pause, "then you can put my naie down on your books. Your last argutnent captures tme." France Seeks Mauritius. 'T'hero Is at movement in France to ask Great Britain for the return of Mauritius, the Beloved Isle of France, which wits lost in 1810. It Is contend ed that, in spite of being under Brit ish rule for over a hundred years, the island is still essentially 1rench, and that the peoplet desire uion with their mother country, Great Brtain has no particular rea son for keeping the Island, says the Newcastle Chronicle. It has no stra tegic or economic imp~ortanice, nor has It any sentimental associations, so far as Great Britain is concerned. For the Firencht, on the other hand, it is the place to whtleht many of their nobles emiigrated, and1( is the islantd which Bernardlin St. P'ierre immttortatlized in hkis byl, "Patti and1 Virginia."
