Cane Coast Bulls.

The most curious relic Of the Asian
tee campaign brought home by the new
ly-returned troops is Cape Coast bull,
perfect kitten of the species. He is
described as not SO tall as an umbrella,
and, Judging from his build and activi-
ty, might be rs safely trusted to peram-
bulate the fragile groves of crcckerv
warehouse as the most docile dog. He
was allowed to be loose on the deck,
and was the pet and plaything of the
crew, who teesed him until he ran Mt
and butted them as the goat does.
Twelve of these animals were shipped
as fresh food on the voyage, and some
idea may be formed Of this representa-
tive Liliputian "live beef" when it is
stated that of the eleven that we're
killed not one exceeded forty.seven
pounds in weight as dressed carcass.

A Newspaper from the Ark.

Mount Ararat has been encronched
upon by journalistic enterprise, and a
newspaper, Whiffs from Ararat, has
been established by the American pill
grims at the very foot of the mountain.
This paper contains some curious and
interesting local topics, quotes the
price Of girls as wives in the Armenian
villages, varying from co to g16, and
discusses the peasant notion that the
world rests on large OK, which, being
irritated by fly, tosses its head and
thus causes earthquakes, and the belief
of the natives in the neighborhood of
the mount that impassable barriers sur
round Ararat to prevent it's being desc
Grated by mortal feet, while angels
keep guard on the summit lest one
piece of the indestructible wood of the
ark should be borne away.

Tho Bamboo Tree.

Probably this tree subserves moro
purposes of usefulness than anv other
in the whole range Of nature. The In
dian obtains from it part of his food,
many of his household utensils, and n
wood at once lighter and capable of
bearing greater strains than heavier
timber OF the same size. Besides, in
expeditions in the tropics under the
rays OF G vertical s;.:aa, bamboo .-aaks
have more than once been used as bar
rels, in which water much purer than
could be preserved in vessels of any
other kind, is fresh for the crew. On
the western coast of Southern Asia,
the bamboo furnishes all the materials
for the construction of houses. at once
pleasant, substantial and preferable to
stone, which the frequently recurring
earthquakes bring down upon the heads
of the owners. The fact that the bam-
boo is hollow has made it eminently
useful for variety of purposes-it
serves as q measure for liquids, and if
fitted with lid and bottom, trunks
and barrels ate quite frequently made
of it. Even small boats very often are
made of the largest trunks. by strength.
ening them with strips of other wood
where needed. In one day they OBJ
tnin tho height of several feet, and with
the aid of n microscope their develop
ment can be easily watched. But the
most remarkable feature about the bam-
boo is their blossoming. With all this
rapidity of growth they bloom only twice
in century, the flower appearing at the
end of fifty years. Like other grasses,
they die after having borne seed. The
highest of the bamboo is the Sammot.
In tracts where it grows in the greatest
perfection, it sometimes rises to the
height of one hundred feet, with stem
only eighteen inches in diameter at the
base. The wood itself is only an inch
in thickness.

The Cradle of our Fashions.

The word milliner" is derived from
the name of "Milan." Millinery for
some centuries was synonymous with
fine dress. goods of Milan manufacture.
It is still the most fashionable city in
Italy, and is the center of it's silk bust
ness. From 1866 till 1859, Milan and
Lombardy were ruled over and plum
dered, first by the Spaniards, next by
the Austrians, then for a time by the
French, and after them again by the
Austrians, until liberated by the battle
of Magenta. which restored il to the
Italians. The wealth and beauty Of
the CITY, and the wonderful fertility of
the surrounding country, have always
rendered it an object of cupidity and
longing desire to foreign powers.

The scalpers" and their Trade.

The scalpers" and their Trade.
A new and thrifty trade seems to have
lately sprung up in various parts of the
country in the shape of selling railroad
tickets at secondhand, It ls said that
there are now some forty offices in this
country where tickets over any road,
leading from the city in which the Office
is located, may be bought at rates lower
than the company's. No partiality is
shown. This is how it works, tickets
of every road being on hand A person
in New York wishing to go to Cincinnati
can buy ticket for $50. Because of

is purchased, the holder of it is not COM

Cincinnati he stops He has paid out
So more than he need to have done, but
he has in possession ticket which at
any time will take him to Chicago, and
which is thus equivalent to 50. An
Office in Cincinnati will pay him 81 for
this ticket. and await purchaser as So.
Again: Tickets are often purchased az
the offices of railroad companies, which,
for unseen reasons, are not used, and
these cone in to swell the business of
the brokers' offices.

The Fate of Old Women Among the
Colorado River Indians.

The life of an Indian maiden is blithe
and merry for few years, but when
she becomes wife she is soon broken
down with the pains of motherhood and
the heavy labors which fall to her lot,
and she soon becomes wrinkled, garru-
lous, cross, scoldipg, in fact an old hag.
OF course such hags are not pleasant
company in camp, and iii the belief Of
the Numa such old hags grow ugfier
and meaner until they dry up and
whirlwinds carry them away, when they
are transformed into witches and lest
such fate should befall old women,
they are taught that it is their duty to
die when they are no longer needed,
and if they do not die by natural means
in reasonable time, they must commit
suicide. This they seem very willing to
do rather than to meet that terrible fate
OF being transformed into witches and
being compelled to live in snake skins,
and wriggle about among the rocks,
their only delight being to repeat the
words of passers-by in mookery. once
saw three old women thus voluntarily
starving themselves. rode up to what

groaning until they rose, each dragging
up her weight with q staff, and then
they joined in sidewise. shuffling, tot
tering, senile dance around the fire,
propped up by their staffs, and singing
q doleful song. Having finished which,
they sat again on their heels and gazed
into the fire, and rode away. On COM
ing to the new camp of the tribe the
next day, and inquiring of Chui-at-au-
um-peak, their chief, why these women
we're left behind and what they were
doing, I was informed they had deter
mined to commit suicide, fearing lest
they should be transformed into witches.
