POWERS OF KINDNESS.

LOVE FOR DUMB ANIMALS.

Orison Swett Mardan writes:— A few weeks ago a bear escaped from its cage in the Bronx Zoo in New York and frightened hundreds of people nearly out of their senses. There was a great hue and cry from the guardians of the public safety as they tried to subdue "Molly" and bring her back into captivity. · One of the keepers dropped dead during the parsuit and another, who was beating her about the head and face with all his might, had bis thumb bilt off by the bear, who now, badly beaten up and almost overpowered, was defending her self desperately.

SOME PARTICULARS.

The Shanghai Sanitary Laund- I ry Co., Ltd., was incorporated under the Hongkong Companies Ordinances, on February 10th for the purpose of erecting and operating & Sanitary Steam Laundry, Dry Cleaning, Vacuum and Dyeing plant, in Shanghai. Their Articles of Incorporation are very liberal, indeed they cover many things, which are not, in the ordinary sense of the words "Sanitary Laundry," considered as any part of the laundry business. For instance the com» pany may operate Swimming pools, Turkish and other baths, which, while admittedly sauitary, inve no relation to a laundry.

The building is splendidly lighted, and provided with toilets and baths for both foreign and Chinese employees.
