Landscapes Changed by Animals.

All animals, says Professor Mlvart In
the Contemporary Review" are di-
rectly or indirectly supported by plants,
and the range of plants and the very ex-
istence of species are often wonderfully
affected by the appearance on the scene
of even one new kind of animal. Thus
great grazing district at the Cape,
called the NIidlands," was, in Bur
chell's time, covered with luxuriant
greensward, with few trees and bushes,
with willows and acacias along the sides
of its streams. The introduction of
sheep first destroyed the grass and then
most of the shrubs-a change which
affected the rainfall, so that this region
has been invaded by the hardy plants of
the adjacent KalToo desert, and is fast
becoming an extension of the desert it.

the Portuguese, in the year 1902, was
entirely covered with forests THE trees
dropping over its high precipices over
hanging the seal and with n rich flora of
absolutely peculiar pants. In 1913 some
goats were introduced, and in fifty years
had multiplied into thousands. Yet in
1909 trees still abounded and the pc
culiar native ebony tree was still so
abundant that it was used to burn lime
with. In another hundred years (1SlW,
the goats had entirely destroyed the
great forests, yet so rich was the soil

of the goats land they were destroyed
the island would regain its wood by a
quarter of century. But this was not
to be, for the government of that day
most unhappily planted tho island with
trees and shrubs from other countries,
which have so grown and spread that
now the old indigenous flora is almost
confined to few patches on the central
ridge of the island, ut height of 2,700
feet. What has been lost may be judged
by the fact that of the forty-i:ve kinds of
Towering plants and twenty-three spe-
cies of ferns which yet survive, no less
than forty of the former and thirteen OF
the latter are absolutely peculiar to the
island.

2 Mus. HAYES AND TIE WASHINGTON
WINE TRNDE.-Somc days ago l had
talk with a gentleman who frequently
visits this city selling wines, liquors and
champagnes. lie represents we'll
known New York house, and has visit
ed this city semi-annually for twenty
years. Speaking of the trade and its
decrease, he said: eve don't sell one
case of wine in Washington now where
we sold thirty some years ago. Mrs.
Hayes 'no wine at state dinners may
nave sounded easy TO other people, but
it was almost n sound of death TO the
wine trade. Many is the time we have
sold hundreds of boxes to dealers who
we knew in turn furnished them to the
Executive Mansion. That trade is en-.
tirely gone now. Mrs. Hayes having
declared against wine, of course it be-
came questionable in manner, and its
consumption in Washington fell of very
much. Last winter there was not one
case of wine sold where forty was sold
even ten years ago. The drinking of
wine among men may not have fallen
off much, but it certainly has among
ladies. Wine is not necessary now at
fashionable parties, | mean of course
with the holding and political
classes, who mostly drink it about
Washington, though it is not always
kept oil the table, Washington Letter

Holidays OF the Heart.

This happy phrase, which Longfel-
low, best-beloyed of poets, invented as
title to one of his sweetest songs,
ought to have n personal meaning to
every ono whose life is not wholly in
the present. For tho average life is not
50 rich in what the forcrunner of the
old Puritans called browning mercies,"
that we can afford to make all days that
arc past alike common, and think no
more of them than of the sunshine OF
showers, the leaves or the fruit of dead
year. There is, or ought to be, some
"days of days." that shed sunlight upon
our path, gave termination to our no.
bier purposes, or brought fruition to our
hopes, which should stand to us as the
saints days to the church, or the holi-
day festivals to the world.
In this way tho just complaint that
ms n people we do not have enough holt
days could be adequately met. The
mere stopping of all the ordinary avoca-
tons of the people, and wandering aim
lessly free, without any underlying or
animating sentiment, may or may not
conduce to the general happiness.
Much of the vacuity or restlessness OBJ
servable upon such occasions. and which
have been said to make an American
holiday q most melancholy occasion, are
doubtless due to this lack of personal
interest. 1t is hard to crowd happiness
upon people in the mass. They must
carry the happy heart into our festivities
or they cannot hope to find it there.
But though legal warrant for pleas
ure may fail, natural expression of the
emotion can hardly do SO. The we'd
ding anniversary of couple who are
mated as well as married, will never
pass aforementioned, even though the
observance be no more than tenderer
thought and dearer word than usual-a
bunch of flowers by the plate, or a little
token of remembrance. The vnlgarity
of gift-soliciting upon such anniversaries
-" beneiit-nights for married beggars,"
as they We're aptly called-is happily
less in vogue than formerly; but as a
holiday for the heart and the home,
observed by days pleasuring, special
dinner, an evenings entertainment, and
a real reminiscence of the happy time
when the two paths merged into one,
the wedding anniversary is moro and
moro priced.
A Thanksgiving day fraught with
memories that make it sacred, needs no
official sanction to hallow it. Dedi-
alad to public gratitude and praise, it
is, through the Joyous associations Of
homo, no less n holiday of tho heart

FOR THE FAIR SEX
New Poioualses.


While basques and trimmed skirts
prevail, the polonaise is by no means
abandoned. Tho Pilgrim polonaise
with plush collar and sleeve facings, and
wool cord knotted near the ends, worn
with cape and a hood, is the most
popular French design, but there arc
others far more bouflant, with the skirt
all drawn back from the front and sides
to form drapery similar to the washer
woman revers known as the Trianon
polonniso. With such polonaises the
skirt is made of heavier fabric than
the ovcrdress, rich satin brocade or
velvet being used for the front and side
cores. The surtout styles arc very
much enriched by rows of trimming,
especially passementerie or fringe, be
ing set across the sides of the skirt.
The skirted polonaise with seam across
the hips is liked for cloth overdrcsses,
and may be made bouffant behind, or
else pressed fatty in plaits like the
surtout. Perhaps the newest polonaise
is that with the pointed apron front.
This is made of double-width cashmere
or cloth, and has the front opening only
as low as basque, while the left sides
are heightened, drawn across the front
in wrinkles, with the corner forming a
point below, and caught up high on the
right side. Tho back is made bouflant
by looping the extended middle forms,
and catching them with a large orna-
ment of polished steel. Sometimes q
fanciful hood, too small for use. is added
to such polonaises, but collar is more
frequently eon.-Hdper's Bdzdr.

1t is not generally known that the
comedian, are Georgia people. He has
q brother now living ut Valdosta, and
other relatives in Southwestern Georgia.
The family name is Stuart, and the actor
took it for his first nGmc on the stage.
One of the brothers was killed in front
of Atlanta in one of those terrible fights
where the "boys in gray" suffered so
terribly. JIe was a gallant soldier in
the Confederate army. His death was
one of the most remarkable on record.
He fell in the light, and was taken from
the field apparently lifeloss. The ball
had penetrated his heart, and it was
supposed that death had como instantly.
At night preparations were made to bury
the dead, when tho attendants were
startled by seeing Stuart move. Ho
was still alive. The surgeon took him in
charge, but saw at once that all hopes %
recovery were vain. Tho ball had really
gone into his heart. In spite of this he
fingered for hours before death finally
stilled his pulse, The case is well attcsted.
1t will be remembered that celebrated
prize-fghtcr lived two days with a bul-
let in his heart and there is a we'll
known instance of miner in England
who had bar of iron three feet long
blown through his head, and recovered.
