Even II Plumber KEysER's memory had
not been the wreck ii is any evidence he
might have given about his own dealings
with the city would necessarily have lacked
the interest Of novelty KEysER's work and
KEYsER's bills for his work were pretty
thoroughly investigated some years ago.
He insists, it is true, that the investigators
didn't do either the plumbing or the plumber
Justice, and that the city ia really in his debt
to-day. But that il matter Of opinion.
The point at which KEysER becomes inter-
csting is when he begins to tell about his
assignment Of his property to Mr. JACKSON
S. SCHULTZ In trust for the benefit OF the city.
He doesn't at present recall his reasons FOR
making this assignment. IL was "a time
Of terror for everybody" he says; there
were false accusations Az ainst him; there
was no justice at that time Messrs. BARLOW
and PECKHAM told him TO do 1t; his own
lawyer advised him to do 1t, and he did It,.
He thinks now that, at the time he did it,
he was not a responsible person. But, any
way, the assignment was made. He thinks
the value Of the property assigned may
have been about 100000, and that Mr..
SCHULTZ collected some money under the
assignment: exactly how much he doesn't
know; in the ncighborhoUd of $4,000 or
$4,000.
Here KEYsER becomes not merely inter
estiug. but astonishing, He asserts under
oath that Mr.. SCHULTZ lent him all, or near
ly all, this money, taking rs security certain
second mortgages upon real estate which
the first mortgages subsequently wiped out.

The Misses Evarts- there are five or
six who can lay claims to this tiile-are
all blondes. and have in them the same
vein of sepulchral Immoral humor, 50 to
speak, which characterizes their father
They are not pretty, but thoroughly
intellectual and refined, much more
after the Boston type than the metro
Dolitan. In conversation, if you can
succeed in drawing them into it, they
show keen sense Of the humorous, and
careful training in books and otherwise
a training which is due to Mrs. Evarts.
In dress the young ladies are demure
They commonly wear their hair in the
most prime of knots, and display no
ornaments unless it be an antique gem,
or something valuable for its age or
history. But their silks are the heaviest,
and they do not eschew seal-sBin sacques.
Mr. .Eyarts has son in his law office,

China. His eldest daughters is Mrs. c.
c. Beeman, who resides here. The town
house is at the corner of Fourteenth street
and Second avenue-one of the old
fashioned double mansions, and is
furnished. With his hos
pitality and taste for good cooking, and
with a family of such size, Mr. Evarts
has occasion to keep up his business in

This Is the most natural explanation for
the presence of the undisturbed tracts in
deep water where the animals have lived
80 long. How can animals live under
such physical conditions as at the shore
and in the deepest parts of the seas q?
Physical causes have brought about
varieties. Natural selection has been
thought to be sufficient to cause all the
changes in the fauna now in existence,
but it really fails TO explain these
changes We find animals along the
shore not greatly differing from those in
the deep sea, and yet their environment
Is very different Natural selection
must be limited to higher forms, and has
nothing to do with the changes of the
lower forms. The study of sea life
opens new field for research, and we
are only just entering upon it--1gassi='s

BOILING STEAK.-Beefsteak may be
covered while boiling, but should never
be hacked while cooking nor pounded
before cooking; simply lay it upon the

turning you lose the juice of the mfat;
when done, lay upon the dish it is TO be
served in, sprinkle over it little salt
and spread over it some good. sweet but

posed to the air, so as 10 gather plenty of
moisture; shake or scrape of what is

couple of teaspoonfuls for rabbit or
muskrat-skin or pint for deerskin !;
rub small thin skin, at the end of the

is pretty dry. a large thick skin must
be "alumned" a week. Skins will be
white, and not red, on the under side
when cured by this process, and make
excellent rugs OF garments, as no poison
is used.

THE ELEPHANr AND LION.

It is related hy Maj. Leveson, in his
late work, entitled "Sport in Many
Lands, that in the course of his hunting
expeditions in India and Africa, he has
slain eight hundred and seventy-six ele-
phants. The habits of the game Of
every sort which he sought were studied
with patient attention.; and as the result
of long observation of the proceedings
of the elephant, he gives this summary
of the language of the huge beast :
mElephamts utter four distinct sounds,
each of which sis indicative OF a GER
tain meaning. The first is u shriIl,
whistling noise, produced by blowing
through the trunk, which denotes salts
faction. The second is the note CT alarm
or surprise "A sound made by the mouth,
which may be thus initiated: pr-rat pr
guf. The third is the trumpeting noise they
make when angry, which, when they are
very much enraged, and when charging
IN assailant. changes into hoarse rosr
or terrihc scream. The fourth sound
betckens dissatisfaction or distress, FREE
