How to Live ut q Hotel.

The bill Of fare was large and generous.
They paid for what was on it, why not
eat it? They began with soup. and
ended with nuts and raisins. Their
diet palled on their palate. Vigorous
condiments we're added to give their
food relish. Copious draughts of liquor
were enjoyed. They lived fast life,
and had fast life's reward. My style
Of living was entirely different. l re-
garded the hotel as my home, where I
was to live for years. The spread was
Psfauent but my living was simple. I
changed my soup daily. l confined
myself to one kind of meat. and
changed it every day. The dessert was
varied enough to give me seven new

A Tiger Scared by a Mouse.

Characters that inspire fear them.
selves are often afraid of things as ri.
diculously beneath them. Napoleon
dreaded a rat, and probably to him
there was something uncanny about the
creature. Doubtless o mouse can in
spire q tiger with similar feeling.
Here is an anecdote of a tiger kept at
the British Residency at Calcutta, In
dia. What annoyed him far more than
poking him with a stick, or tantalizing
him with the shins of beef or legs Of
mutton. was introducing mouse into
his cage. No fine lady ever exhibited
more terror at the sight of q spider than
this magnificent royal tiger betrayed on
seeing a mouse. The plan was to tie
this little animal by string to long
pole, and thrust it close to the tigers
nose. The moment he saw it, he leaped
to the opposite side and when the
mouse was made to run near him, he
jammed himself in the corner, and
stood trembling, and rosred terribly in
ecstacy of fear. Sometimes he had to
pass over the spot where the uncon-
scious little mouse ran backwards aud
forwards. For q long time, however,
he did not move, till ut length with the
aid of a squib he was obliged to start;
but instead Of pacing ieisurely across
his den, or Of making detour 10 avoid
the object of his alarm, he generally
took kind of flying leap so high as
nearly to bring his back in contact with
the roof OF his cage. -. I..

A Woman jockey.

In certain London boarding. house,
not far from Regents park, the guest
who comes in late at night will some.
times see q side. saddle lying on the
floor in the lower hall. Usually it has
morning. If not, finely.formed,
healthy young Englishwoman will he
one of the Anglo-Americsn company
that gathers at the breakfast table. She
is its owner.
This boarding-house is her home
Riding horses at races and sales is her
occupation. An orphan of respectable
parentage, obliged to support herself,
the avenues that opened before such a
young girl as she, in the crowded, el-
bowling life Of England, were few and
unpromising. She had an Englishwo-
mans love of animals and out door oc.
equations. And che had dauntless,
magnificent physical courage. So she
driited into this strange life.
She finds employment from one end
of England to the other. One morning
she is of by cab, her saddle beside her,
for horse-market in the east of Lon
don. The next, perhaps. she is hurry
ing from her early breakfast to take the
train at Kings Cross for Doncaster.
There is no horse g. vicious that she
hesitates to mount lin. He may fall
with her; he cannot throw her.
She is sent for to ride horses that
men dare not or will not; horses that
have killed their riders more than once,
and that will do their best TO kill her.
But she has reputation that, for
breads sake and shelters sake, she can
not afford to lose, and she never de-
clines to mount horse because it is
dangerous to do 50. One night she
comes home bruised and weak her
horse fell on her to-day. Another, her
face Pushes With satisfaction as she
tells her kind friend, the landlsdy, that
her horse won the race.
Often she does not eat mouthful
from her early breakfast, before the
rest of the house are up. until her
days work is done. Success depends
on her being able to command every
particle of nervous force she possesses;
she can spare none OF it for the pro-
cess of digestion. She is intelligent
and womanly--just RS womanly as if
her work kept her in an Office or be-
hind a counter, instead of among sta
blekeepers. jockeys and sporting men.

No Dogs Allowed In These Cars.

An elegantly dressed lady recently
entered . passenger car at New York.
She carried in her arms not baby. but
an ugly, Unlocking little dog. The dsv
was cold, and her soft, rich shawl d:d
duty as dog blanket, while she did dutv
an dog nurse. The dog was patted and
petted and fed. and tucked in so as 10
nestle on her breast. Aud during the
whole trip that dog occupied, to ali hu.
man seeming. the thong hits and entire
time of that young woman, as is the
case with a mother with q baby in her
lap. OF course she paid only for one
fare. 1t was pitiable to see that woman
wasting the maternal instincts on q
poor brute, when the little children.
immortal beings for whom Christ died,
were perishing in almost every street
and alley, for lack of care. A woman
must indeed have fallen very low when
she consents to become dog nurse.
Arriving at New York, she took q
seat in the Grand street car. Opposite
to her sat two young women, each with
q bright, pretty baby in her arms. The
contrast was sharp and disgusting. But
when the conductor came in. he
said with voice of authority. Miss,
no dogs allowed in these cars" II
have carried dog on New York cars
many time." pleaded the young lady.
Well, you can't carry them on these
cars. Them's my orders, Miss, so you'll
have to put out the dog or get out
yourself" The young lady arose with,
the dignity of queen, and carrying
the dog we'll blanketed in her shawl,
started on her journey on foot. The
passengers looked at each other with
approval in their glances. and the
mothers pressed their babies closer to
their hearts, with q consciousness that
after all there was dignity in mother.
hood, and that woman who nurses
her own baby. even though she be ar.
rayed in calico. is worthy OF higher re.
spect than the woman arrayed in silks
who degrades herself by serving as q
dog nurse.

He Was q DjpIOmat.

A very tall man with sandy chin
whiskers entered tho door. The car
was foil, and the only seat unoccupied
by two persons was filled with valiss,
bundle, . shawl and thin woman of
thirty i've. with the latest shade of red
hair, and false teeth. The man With
the sandy whiskers, feeling a symps-
thetic bond drawing him towards the
woman's red hair, touched her on the
shoulder and said
" Is this seat engaged?"
Yes, it is,' snapped the woman,
swelling up in the seat that the man
might observe no possible room.
"Ah !! murmured the man, in a
pleasant tone. Then he went and stood
by the stove and mused for o while.
Presently he returned to the seat of his
rebuff. and leaning on the arm of the
seat, said softly:
beg your pardon, madam, but as
was standing by the stove, your fea-
lures struck me Familiarity. Did you
ever attend q presidential reception at
Washington p
"No, 1 never did," replied the wom-
an, but in milder voice than she had
at nrSt assumed.
Then you will please pardon me, -
said the man, with an apologize air ;
the mistake was occasioned by your
close resemblance to young lady from
Philadelphia, who made her debut that
season. and whom I had the pleasure
OF meeting. She was considered the
belle of the season."
"No-I never was in Washington, ="
remarked the woman, in a Modified
tone.
cit is strange how much you resem-
BILE the young lady in question" pur-
sued the man. 1.-THE hair is the san g
golden hue, and while her features may
not have been so clear cut and Grecian
in their-but there, excuse me, am
annoying" and the tall man started
away.
Don't hurry said the woman
pleasantly. "There doesn't appear to
be many empty seats won't you sit
here ?" Aud she picked up her, nu-
merous baggage.
The man with the sandy whiskers
didn't know, but finally accepted the
invitation, and in an incredibly brief
space OF time had the valise and bundle

around the window to exclude the
draft, and was RECALLING the red-headed
woman with a choice collection OF an

passengers could see the gums of her

A Menagerie in Winter Quarters.

A reporter of the Philadelphia Press
has obtained from the keeper of O me-
nagerie that was wintering in that city
some interesting information in regard
to the care of wild animals. "For the
past winter" said the keeper, tive have
been giving the lions from fifteen to
twenty pounds of raw beef once day
occasionally mutton is given instead
When travelling this amount is in
creased seven or eight pounds. A
hyena, when not on the road, is allowed
twelve pounds day, which is increased
five pounds when travelling. Leopards.
pumas and jaguars are given three
pounds. Elephants subsist principally
apon buy, ebOut half u tou per day,
more or less. In fact they eat all the
time almost, only stopping to play.
Well, sir, those ten elephants there will
get together and play half q day
without stopping Now look at their
eyes and ivory. Isn't there some re.
semblance to human being laughing ?
What different expressions animals
have ! Look at that elephant. Do
what you please with him, he wouldn't
harm you while that leopard, to your
right there, would fight as long as life
lasts"
"Does this noise continue during the
night? ?" .-.-a ..,.-
"Well, no, not the whole night
through. AS soon as dark comes the
hyenas commence pacing up and down
their cages, in quest of food his regu-
lar time, you know, in his native jun.
gle. Then the elephant begins the
lion answers him, another lion roars
back /; the panther takes it up; then
the sea- lion joins with its peculiar cross
between sound and shrek; and now
come the monkeys, the macaw and
cockatoo, while an occasional neigh of
horse and bark of dog make noise
that is at times deafening, but not alto
gether unpleasant. Finally nothing is
left OF the hubbub save the occasional
chirp of bird, when all of sudden
the. elephant will wake the echoes, and
the whole gang take up the chorus"

The GEAR ABsoLvINa SINS. = The
Gear, at the head of the Russian Church,
has the right, it is said. to grant absolu-
ton of sins. In exceptional cases his
subjects may request him to hear their
confession and absolve them. A short
time ago young man presented him
self at the Palace and urgently de-
manded to seq the Emperor for this
purpose. An audience having been
granted. the youth confessed that he
had intended to assassinate the Gar.
He was the son of an exile In Siberia,
and described in the most elegant Ian
guage the sufferings to which his
mother and = sisters were exposed
through tho enforced absence Of the
bread winner, so Stat finally, exasper-
ated by the bitterness Of his fate, he
had detsrmined to revenge himself.
The Emperor was touched and granted
him his fathers pardon and consid-
erable sum Of money. Less than q
month later another young man pre-
sented himself to confess the same
regicidal intention. This time his
Majesty was not to be cheated. and
said to tho psnitent: II absolve you
on one condition only that you repeat
to the Chief of the Police the confession
you have just made to- me."-N Y.

The Thoughts Of Night.
IT MARIE 9. LAID.

The thouGhts Of night, the thoughts Of night
Grim ghoets Of memory ROBBED in white,
That through the darkness elimmtr,
And come t, mock the days bright dreams
And all her brilliant hopes aud schemes
10 evenings gloom grow DINNER.
We hurry through the busting day
With work. name for cbildren's play
And do not stop to ponder;
But night drops down her screen of slough,
And the harsh lesson life has taught
Through our quick mem'ries wander.
Then We resolve to fill our days
With happy wslksin VISIONS ways,
With earnest prayer and striving;
No more to limp along tie road,
But bravely bear our tiresome load,
All strength from Him deriving.
Alas at night We do intend
Oar bent and lsckneyed ways t, mend,
And live life Of beauty;
But morning breaks with all its cares;
The day its many trials bears
We strive. and fail in duty.

How Hot Is THE Subtitle tenn
pr nature of the sun has recently been
the subject of an able investigation by
NJ. Rossetti. He first sought to esta6
lish the laws of radiation in relation to
the temperature. First, the radiation
of Leslie's cube filed with mercury
and heated to 800 deg. was measured
with thermopile and q Wiedemann
galvanometer. The formula arrived at
was tested in the case of copper ball
heated in the fame of Bunsen burner
to about 700 deg. to 800 deg. Further,
the radiating power OF various bodies
"copper". copper covered with lamp
black, iron, platinum and oxycbioride
Of magnesium, heated in the bunsen
burner or oxyhydrogen blowpipe, was
also examined, and gave satisfactory
confirmation of the formula for tenn
peratures ranging up to 2,40O deg.
Taking into account absorption in the
earth's atmosphere, and making obser-
vation of the heating of Q thermopile
by the radiation of the sun, the effec-
tive temperature of this orb was con.
cluded to be 1864 deg. G., or q, $50. 7
deg. G., according as regard is had to
the absorption by the solar atmos phere
round the philosophers or not.

The Pope OH Brains and Legs.

When Plus TX. was Pope, Fanny
Elssler visited Rome. danced and set
the public crazy. In forty.eight hours
the gilded youth, her admirers, had
subscribed $4,000 francs and bought q
splendid crown to be presented to her
as testimonial. When the time came
for presenting the danseuse with it, one
of the subscribers. an excellent young
noble, obtained an audience with the
Pope and asked if there would be any.
thing wrong in the presentation--if the
Pope had any objections.
~ have neither objection to make
or advice to OFFER" said his holiness,
but it does seem to me that you
might have pitched upon more appro-
pirate gift. In my simplicity as q
priest, I have always thought that
crowns were made for heads and not for
legs"
The crown was duly given to the dan
seuse. who meanwhile had heard of the
Pope's saying, and she promptly sent
the value of the gift in money to the
parish priests for their poor.
Plus IX. heard of this in his turn,
and when next he met OF one the sub
scribers to the testimonial, said to him:
" You were quite right in giving that
woman that crown--she has Just proved
that there is more sense in her legs than
you had in your heads.--New York
