Evening is the liveliest time in the Green
land hut. Then the bright lamps are burning,
the kettles and pots, (made of soapstone) all
steaming and boiling over each lamp, the
women busily chatting at their work, the
half naked children running about on the
warm reindeer skins on the ledge behind
them. This is the scene going on before us.
The seal hunter has Just arrived home from
his days toll on the sea- and while he is hang
ing up his lines, his waterproof gloves and
other paraphemalia piece of skin Is drawn
forth from beneath the ledge and spread be-
fore him. Its contents-the small dried fish
called "angmagsat' or capeling-he eats in 81
lence, weary rs lie is This is only prelimi-
mary meal, AN appetzing pastime, while the
more substantial things over the lamp are get
ting ready-and it does not take long to boil
seal fish. After the fish he takes a draught
from the water-pail behind the door. The
skin curtain of the ledge, hiding the myster-
les of the lower regions, is once more drawn
aside and the skin, with the remnants disap-
peared behind it, to join host of the most
Heterogeneous articles. A good deal of talk
ing in the relating line, or in the chatting,
prattling, merry-making style, is generally
going on. What / remember most distinctly
from my many visits and stays in the Green
land huts are the stories and descriptions of
the men relative TO their sea adventures, ac-
Companleu by the most animated gestures,
showing how the seal had first appeared, and
then again dived down on his approaching it
how he (the hunter in his turn had fingered
behind till the animal, made ineautious by en-
suing silence, again rose 10 the surface and
now the hunter, leaning back with n graceful
movement, shows how he resolutely swept
across a long surge, and came within reach of
his mark took aim, and threw his harpoon
and bladder float how the wounded animal
dived and again came to the surface, and so
forth. In fact he paints the scene with the
most lively colors, rs We all listened in wrapt
attention. My brother, who had a lively
comprehension and great talent for mimic
ry, had in after years in Denmark often to act
the part of the seal hunter, and it strikes me
that had myself part in play represent
ing an unsuccessful whale hunt. Certainly
we had many an hour of amusement in the
Greenland cottages. No doubt we were very
unpretending, and easy to please in the ex-
treme but why criticise the means when the
result is happiness? And happy we undoubt-
edly were, alike in the dark, frosty days, with
the moon shining down upon us at noontide,
and in the calm, delightful summertime, with
its bright sunlit nights. London Field.

ury and will eat up II days receipts with the
unblushng appetite of the human boarder
who comes late to breakfast and declines to
pay for the dinner to which he has invited n
friend.
Formerly the carnyora were the most ex-
pensive of the Zoo family, but it was ascer-
tanned that horse meat was quite as pal
atalle to their rapacious palutes and ever
clamoring stOmachs ns fresh beef, and now
street car companies, by way of encouraging
their motive power to greater endurance and
longer service, hold out to brcakng-up nags
the certainty Of being devoured by the lions
and tigers if they fall by the way. The use of
horse meat has reduced the expenses Of the
commissary department three thousand dol
lars year. The cost Of sustaining the her
byorous animals depends upon the price Of
hay
The rhinoceros is more greedy than all
his fellow -boarders. He will eat anything al
most, and desires no limit in quaint ty. OF hay
or grass he insists upon two hundred
and fifty pounds IA day, and half bushel of
potatoes to him is as the meagre dish of straw
berries that appears on the human boarders
Sunday table early in May. His keeper esti-
mates ten tons of peanuts as being the most
moderate quantity of his last four years ex-
perience. The rhnoceros costs to board SlO.-
30 II week, year in and year out.
The large elephants cat up about one dol
lar and quarters worth Of food per day.
The leopard and jaguar cost about ten cents
per day to feed, and the giraffe calls for a
daily expenditure Of sixty cents The mon
keys demand aud obtain varied diet. All is
fish that comes to their net. but mashed pota-
toes, apples, nuts and onions give rise to the
loudest gatherings of Joy. They have hun
cry tooth for bird, too, and woe to the
feathered songster who comes into their trap.

PHoToGRAPHING RACE HoRsE.-The San
Francisco Bulletin of June II says: about
a year ago +. j. Muyhridge succeeded in pro-
ducing perfect photograph of Leland Stan
ford's trotter. Occident. while moving at full
speed. The photograph was the first of a Sc
ries to show the various motions trotter's
feet and legs pass through in making one
stride when III full motion. The interest of
that particular photograph was greatly en-
hanced because it showed the position the
horse was in Mt the moment when his fore
foot struck the ground. 1t completely upset
all previous theories concerning the shape of
of the leg and the part of the foot which first
touched the ground. The photograph repre-
sents the horses foreleg, projecting at consid-
cradle of an angle before him, straight as an
iron bar, the heel touching the sod and the
toe well above the ground. Since then Mr..
Muybridge has brought electricity to play an
important part in the work of taking negatives
of a fast-movng object, and with its aid he
has obtained every change in a trotting horses
position while making complete stride. A
dozen photographs show the various positions
of Occidents body legs and feet while travel
ing at a 2;24 gate in a stride of Is feet 6 inch
es. The photograph shows that fast trot-
ter's feet are all off the ground at the same
time twice during the making of the stride,
although the best accepted authorities on this
subject have repeatedly asserted that trot-
ting horse always has one foot ON the ground
when in action. These photographs have
been taken by Mr., Muybridge at Menlo Park,
where apparatus for this special purpose has
been erected at a cost to Mr.. Stanford Of at
least 81, 600. The camera is exposed and un-
covered in twinkling, by electricity, which
is under the complete control of the operator.
A board fence on the opposite side of the
track has been lined and marked in feet and
row of cameras are placed to correspond with
these so that the position of the horse on the
track as well as the form of his body and
limbs is definitely determined. The pictures
are wonderful triumph of photography"

A CURIOUS ATTEMPT on THE CzAR's LIFE.-
Both the Gar of Russia and his uncle, the
Emperor OF Germany, have twice narrowly
escaped being shot; but the deadlest and
most nearly successful attempt upon the life
of the former was of a more insidious kind,
and is still known to only very few persons,
even in Russia. There is in the Winter Pal
ace at st. Petersburg small elevator" con-
sisting of an easy-chair fixed upon stand,
originally constructed for the Gar Nicholas,
who was wont to mount in this fashion to his
cabinet on the third floor of the palace. On
one occasion, after state dinner, the pres
ent Gar, instead of taking his seat in the
chair MS usual, offered the place to a lady of
rank who had been friend of his mother.
The Countess, hattered by the compliment,
took her seat at once but she had not risen
many feet when the chain snapped, and down
came the chair with terrific crash, tiinging
out its occupant upon the floor with broken
limb and other serious injuries. The dismay
of the company was extreme, and all were
loud in expressing their thankfulness that the
Gar himself bad so narrowly escaped catas-
