RUssELvE POPE COUNTY ARKANSAS THURSDAY MAY so l88o

diet is bread soaked in milk, with fish now and then for change. The black bears are also given bread. 100 pound being used daily. Ve1itables of almost every sort are fed literally to the differ ent animals-cabbage potatoes, carrots. onions and turnips The elephants are great cabbage eaters, in addition to their standard dict, hay. The giraffes, sim gularly enough, are great onion eaters, while the deer and goats and animals of the COW specles eat carrots and turnips and potatoes. Bran and oats and corn are also liberally stributed-mostly once or twice week-among the hay eating animals. The most delicate and expensive feeder in the place perhaps is the oUrang. outang, which gets beef. po- tatoes, bread and honey. As there is only one in the collection at present, the cost of keeping this grinning satire ir the human species is not multiplied. Another delicacy which must not be admitted in the diet of the Polar bear is fish oil, of which they get several sup plies week After the hay the oats is perhaps the next chief source of ex. pense in the way of animal food. As for the fowls, the larger ones are fed on corn, and the small ones arc fed on canary seed, and all of them now and then get a small portion of meat. The cost of feeding the animals alone foots up about $1O0 day. All the horses that go to supply the meat-eating ani- nals are killed on the ground, in the slaughter house that stands at the lower end of the row of sheds in the lower part of the garden.

Four Hugs to the Square.
Atlanta Constitution

The man who walks at night sees funny things On Wednesday night, between 10 and II o'clock, while fact stater was cleaving the dimness of Wal ton street, his attention was attracted by a youthful couple who were walking at the frightful speed of fifteen minutes to the half square, While he was thinking how long they could keep up this pace without stopping, they stopped within the friendly shadow ot huge bill board, and the young man clasped the young lady to his heaving bosom and kissed her. Then he looked up and down the street, as though expecting some one whom he sincerely hoped would not come, and then suddenly re- membering that he had a previous en- gagement, he turned and embraced his companion Tn a long, loving and busi- ness-like manner and then he kissed her. Somehow he seemed to.feel that he had not made complete success, and he kissed her again. Then, as if dis pleased with his style of work, he re- peated it in sort of Emma Abbott way. This struck him as being quite the thlrg, and he practiced it several times. After while he stopped kissing the yOuhS itd diu iuSSCu ncT. Anu Just here he displayed real genus. He was master of the art He showed per- feet familiarity with every possible style. He clasped her gently, then he squeezed her rapturously, then he grabbed her violently-then he embraced her slowly and irnpressively-then he hugged her as if he had firmly resolved never to go into any other business as long as he lived, and then he thought he heard somebody coming, and they walked off as if nothing in the world had happened They turned into Broad street, and hay ing joined their friends, the shadows, near Wilson's coal yard, they repeated the Walton street performance without any material change ot programme. And then they strolled leisurly into Luckey street, between Forsyth and Broad, and in answer to an encore gave another performance of the same des- cription. After this they passed into Forsyth street, and when they neared the first Baptist Church the idea oc- cured 10 the young mar that he would give farewell performance. They did so. Both seemed deeply affected, and the un cen audience was almost moved to tears at the extremely touching sight. And then those happy nocturnal closer to my bosom comes moved silently down Walton street, and the unseen audience of one slowly dispersed.

A Virtue of the Flea.
Chicago Tribune.

Sooner or later every creature finds an advocate. Now appears from Armenia a much.traveled Briton, by the name of Captain Creagh, and loudly sings the soothing. soporific virtue of the wicked flea. This astounding wanderer assures us, as of his personal experience, that in Armenia at least 'the crawling of insects from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet. is so lethargc, and, like the action of shampooing, so soothing to the limbs of the weary traveller, that the in- stant the fleas have covered his body in as great multitude as the ants on an ant-heap, he, with smile of satisfaction on his face, drops gently into profound and refreshing slumbers. An English Consul. after long residence in Arme- pia, having retired to his native country on pension, had become so accustomed to the fleas that he was unable to sleep without them. and his house maid al- ways carried snuf-5ox full upstairs and put them into his bed with the warining-pan."

FOR THE LADIES.

A NEW fabric for street costumes is shown in damask beige.
 <, TURBANs are very much the fashina., both in bonnets and hats.
 THREADs of green, yellow, blue, black and white make up the color called ser pent.
 NEARLY all the Tuscan brand shown by the milliners is old, for very little was imported this year. ~ tes ss EVEN the window shades are now em- broidered, sometimes with flower de- signs and sometimes in simple cross stitch. @ PAWN Gold, Gold Fawn, Tea-rose or Ecru-any shade under the sun-in the choicest of all spool silks, the "Unequaied Corticelli." && LINEN collars and cuffs are being set aside for neck and wrist trimmings in laces and soft goods of various Kinds, black net among others.
 AN effort is being made to revive the bands of black velvet which were once worn around the neck, but they are not likely to prove very popular.
 ONE of the most admired fabrics of lingerie used is the figure null, which shows pearl or yellow white ground, with small bouquets in several colors.
 THE tendency IS to return to the princess style of dress; this is seen in street suits. The costume is in one piece, and the drapery and platings are set on.
 THE new printed satin foulards, so much used for trimmings and for suits, in combination with plain satins and silks, have the same effect as hand painting. Tfe 9~hh
 THE prettiest button of the season is of carved pearl coated with silver by some new process, and the play of color through the film of metal is exceeding ly handsome.

The Ex-Khedivs,s rroubles.
New York World.

The ex-Khedive of Egypt, who with his harem is recidlng at ResIna, would do well to provide himself with an extra supply of patent locks, bulldogs, broken bottles, cat.teasers, and Ethopians with rolling. eye-b balls and curving scimetars. Not long ago one of the beauties of his harem eloped with young Italian artist, and now fair Circassan, Miss Naslk Missak, who is rising sixteen, has flown to mansion opposite where lives Il young gentleman "who," says the re- port, had fallen Tn love With her from seeing her at the window and with whom she had managed to carry on a panto- mimic wooing. It seems that the young mans affection is sincere, for he has now applied to the municipal authorities of Resina to publish the notice of his in- tended marriage with the interesting young fugitive. But the authorities are much embarrassed by this request, for the Italian law demands that all strang- CTS wishing to marry must produce a certificate from the authorities of their native country that there exists no im- pediment, and as this young girl, now only sixteen years of age, was sold in Cairo when mere baby, no one knows to Wilonu to dpply. NnO Ctn De sure that the willy ex-Khediye,, if not openly offering a chromo for each elopement or stimulating the export trade of wives and bayaderes by a liberal system of bounhes, is at least tipping the wink to the fcrocious eunuchs whom he puts on guard and leaving the front door care. fully unbolted ut night. The charms. oi unlimited female society might com. mend themselves to despotic ruler in Egypt, where the inmates of the harem could be kept secluded and beyond the influence of Frankish fashion plates, and where, if the worst came to the worst
 he could remove to another of his pala. ces or try the water-cure upon the ob. noxious females in connection with a sack, But in Italy, with fixed income comparatively narrow house and nc possibility of extinguishing summarily the lights of his harem when they begin to Hare up, it IS So clearly to the ex-Khe, dives interest to make reductions in the stock of spouses he is carrying that we shall not be surprised to learn by and by that, with true Oriental cunning. he has been conniving at the elopements ht pretends to condemn.

pause fer the pretended lasts of Lent
 But lack of novelty in the menu is made up by the prodlgality and gorgeolisness of table adornments. The bill of fare ls
 painted on satin, and each guest is pro. | vided with souvenir of the festivity
 which takes the shape of work of deco. rative art In some instances, as if in despair of being able otherwise to o,.sstJiio the latest extravaganza, the guest is pre-. sented with gay knickknacks, artistic | trifles, and even articles of jewelry
 ''Favors for the german" are made to puzzle the good sense of their recipients with bits of costly bijouterie, the accep- tance of which will make high-spirited people blush with modification. Or at some festivity the host, amid other ex- cellent fooling, invests his company with crowns, robes, stars and garters, making l little carnival of what might have been a pleasant social reunion. Ladies' lunch parties, or dejetners as they are deli cately called, are made to outvle the heavier feats of mere men, for the love- Hest of Gods creation refuses to be dis tanced in any possible extravagance. Children's parties are quite as sumpti- ous as those of the grown people. Though these may be held in the day time, they must be under an artificial light; and the tender darlings, who should be nourished on simple food, and dressed in comfortable attire, are decked in silks and laces, .bewiggled and becurl- ed, diamoned, gloyed and laced within an inch of their lives" To these poor little butterflies will be fed the same sort of indigestible stuff which their elders regale themselves withal.F When these wretched children are grown up, if they survive this cruelty, life will have been exhausted for them. They will squeeze the orange dry before they are out of leading strings 4slss hts
 Extravagance is always 'vulgarlzing. The tendency of the time in which sen- suous pleasures dominate is inevitably downward in respect to manners, morals and real refinement. The painted, gild- ed, art-decorated and notoriety.seeking social extravaganza of the present time has nothing to commend it but the plea that "it makes business for somebody, and keeps money in circulation" But the evil influence of such an unnatural condition of things far outweighs this doubtful good Example leads to uni versal imitation. The millionaire who ostentatiously orders priceless Johanms- berger at his club will be faithfully, though remotely, initiated by somebody who is very far from being millionaire. He was well-intentioned Cresus, who, hearing one of the jesusesse dorree propose a great piece of exravagance, promptly said: ''1 can not afford to join in it." But aside from the nalign influence of example, the vulgar prodigality of the time is destroying all the finer graces of life. Ostentation and display are fatal sweet home life, no sacred domesticity, no rational comfort, in family which has once been invaded by the desire to shine and outshine, in society. When the demon ot social discontent comes in at the door of a brown-stone front, all the better angels of our nature fly out of the attic windows. The grace and beauty of life are gone forever
