opossum is ali native and self-evoIved.
The squirrels paws stand him in al
most equally good stead. For. though
he has no opposable thumb, he can
hold nut or fruit between them. roll
ing it about or adjusting it meanwhile
and his teeth also serve as regular tools,
which further enable him to manipulate
an object held in the paws almost as
well as any other animal except the apes
and monkeys. 1t is observable, too,
that his tail belongs markedly to one of
the two types common among forestine
tree-hunting creatures. Those which
crawl OF hang among the boughs have
generally prehensile tails to aid them in
grasping the branches; those which run
and leap from tree to tree have gener-
ally bushy tails to aid them in balanc-
ing themselves, and to act as a sort OF
aerial rudder.- -Harpe1's Weekly.

where the cigarette is found upon the
menu and is introduced between the
courses by the recognized gourmet.
The cigarette is the young mans best
companion. Away from England the
cigarette is a part of conversation: at
home it is part of dress. The Eastern
resident uses his cigarette as a play
thing; he smokes that he may not ap-
pear to be doing nothing. Surely the
medical profession has called Wolf "
little too often. We may be fright
ened at draughts or drains, but it is not
likely that any one will abandon the
cigarette on account of this latest alarm.
There is much to be said against the
selfshness of cigarette-smoking; like
all habits which grow upon men, it is
apt to be abused, and cigarette-smokers
are not always too considerate toward
women who may dislike smoking in any
form. But it requires stronger eyi-
denoe than the new registering-pulse
machine to prove the danger of mod
ern cigarette-smoking. Tele.

IGNORANCE AND FEAR.

Ignorance is the mother of fear in
man or beast. If a street-car is pro-
PEELED in such manner that no horses
can be seen drawing it, all the horses
in the vicinity will take fright. The
most silent of dummy-engines is a
frightful object to every horse who has
not learned from experience that it is
harmless.
In this respect the horse and the In
dian resemble each other. We always
wondered, until we went West, why,
when on the war-path, the Indians first
hostility was not directed against the
railroads which run near his reserva-
ton. During the outbreak in Arizona
and New Mexico, murderous bands of
red men crossed and re-crossed the
track of the Southern Pacific railroad.
without injuring so much as a rail. Yet
they were anxious to harm the white
mans property in every way possible.
We learned that the reason of this
is, that most of the Indians stand in
awe Of railroads, and dread the putting
locomotive as much to-day as when first
they saw it. Time has not so accus-
toned them to the sight that they can
look upon passing train without feel
ing Of wonder and awe at the unseen
power that propels it. This unseen
cause they do not comprehend, and it
terrifes them.
The Chinese, on arriving in San
Francisco, are terrified at the silent
running of street-cars on cable-roads.
mo pushee! no pulleey" exclaimed an
English-speaking Chinaman; "go down
hillee, go up hillee. 90! Joss, he
mad!"
And he assigned the cause of the
strange sight to the anger of his heath
en- god.-YoaLtRs Communion.

NOUIRRELS, PIK.S.

One thing that probably goes to make
up the physical basis Of intelligence in
squirrels is their possession of a pair of
paws which almost serve them in the
place of hands. Mr. Herbert Spen-
Ger has pointed out that many of the
cleverest animals are those which can
grasp an object all round with some
prehensile organ. Such animals, in
fact, are the only ones that can really
quite understand the nature of space of
three dimensions. The apes and mon
keys with their opposable thumb, the
elephants with their flexible trunks and
its fnger-like process, the parrots with
their prehensle claws, are all instances
strictly in point.
Wherever we find a clever animal,
ike the dog, without any grasping
powers, we also find a large develop
ment Of the sense Of smell, which may
be regarded as to some extent compen-
satory. But it must never be forgotten
that the cleverness of the dog has been
greatly increased by long hereditary
intercourse with man, while the clever

GOOD REASONS FOR DECLINING 4
CHALLENGE.

Apropos of dueling NJ. Albert Delpit
relates in Paris a very amusing anec-
dote that will bear translating. One
day one of his confreres called on him.
He had had quarrel with a gentle
man at his club over the card table In
his anger he had thrown two candela-
bra and clock, the whole of The man
tel ornaments, at the head of the gen
tleman, and, not satisfied with this, he
wanted to send him a challenge. NJ
Ivan F. Woestyne and myself, whom he
had selected as his seconds, tried in
vain to make him understand that what
he had already done was quite suffi-
cient. He would not listen to us and
so we went to call on his antagonist.
This gentleman was merchant, and
he received us with the utmost polite
ness, but, on our explaining the object
of our visit, said:
Gentlemen, I refuse absolutely to
give any satisfaction to NJ X"
"Ah!"
Il will never fight with him."
"Indeed!"
Nor with anybody"
MAY we know the reason?"
Certainly"
He took cigar, lighted it with all
the calmness of a man who felt per-
fectly certain of himself, and resumed
Gentlemen, why do people fight duels
Because their honor is at stake. Well.
I am not afraid to declare to you that
there are two kinds of honor. If one of
you two should receive an insult you
would be dishonored if you did not
fight. Being public men you belong to
the public. AS for me, on the con-
trary, am a merchant. If I was to
fight duel my honor would be gone.
My credit would be dead. I would not
be able to get even a note at three
months discounted"

THE DOCTORS ON CIG4RETTE-
SMOKING.

Our doctors have threatened to ex-
communicate another pleasure; the
consoling cigarette is doomed. Scarce
ly a week passes without some solemn
warning being conveyed in the journals
devoted to medical science. No amuse-
ment is too simple, no recreation too
insignificant, no stimulant too trivial to
avoid the stigma that it is in some way
or degree injurious to health. Society
has accepted the cigarette as the most
genteel medium by which the delight
full blue smoke can be conveyed be-
tween the lips. To smoke pipe in the
streets is considered a solecism; but
ladies in these modern days are not
offended if their male companions ex-
tract silver case and light up we'll

stranger to some boudoirs and liberal
drawing-rooms. There are houses

THE ABORIGLNES OF ALASKA.

We experienced no trouble from the
natives except in the early part of the
winter they would come and stand
about our doors and windows and get
in our way generally, so that they be-
came nuisance. When the frost gath
cred on our windows they kept peep
holes open by licking off the frost with
their tongues. This we finally got rid
Of by making a strong decoction of cay
enne pepper and painting the outside
Of the glass, so that licking was not at
all comfortable. A few of the respect
able ones were occasionally let into the
house. If any of these did not behave
themselves we treated them with very
little ceremony, so that they soon be-
came afraid Of us, and were very civil.
At first some of them had the habit of
opening the door and walking into the
house as if they were the owners, and
after short time we got tired of this

that means they have improved in their
manners considerably. There is very
little fight in them, and they never stick
together OF stand up for each other.
If you cuff one the rest stand around
and look on and laugh, and say it is
"Nakoomk" good, and the fellow get

never dream of washing any part of

anything but pleasant appearance.
The women tattoo their chins, which
they consider great mark of beauty,
but cannot say that I agree with them
on that point. Correspond

A Manly Boy.

"Sergeant," said diminutive speci-
linen of the street Arab, as he met an
officer wearing sergeant's uniform, on
the street about 10 o'clock last night;
"can you send an officer to guard sOm e
property tonight"
The urchin's clothes were tattered, his
face was dirty, and he was soaked with
rain; but there was manly air about
him for all that. The officer looked
somewhat astonished at the request COM
ing from such a strange source, but
asked kindly: "What do you want an
officer for, my boy?"
s'Because," answered the child, and
tears filled his eyes, II was leaning
against store window on Chestnut
Street, and / guess I pushed too hard,
and the glass broke, and I couldn't
make anybody hear, so I started as fast
as could to find an officer, to keep any
body from stealing the things in the
window. And, Sergeant, I have thirty
five cents I made selling papers to-day.
If I give you that don't you think they
would let me go until I could make
enough to pay for the glass? It is every
cent 1 have, but I don't want to go to
JAIL"
"Keep your money, my boy" said
the officer, II will see that the store is
guarded, and if you go and tell the
owner tomorrow, I don't believe he will
take cent from you. Anyhow, 1 can
trust you."
"Thank you,' said the boy, IL will
be sure to go and see linn, and I will Try
to save all the money I can to pay him,
if he wants it." And drying his eyes he
went on, probably to cheerless home.
