How Some Newly-Arrived Animals Were
Placed In Their Quarters.
A large ugress, female leopard, aud
some specimens of wild fowl were added to
the collection at the geological gardens YES
terday. The animals arrived in New York
on Tuesday, and were sent to this city by
express the same night. A Times reporter
reached the gardens just as the animals
were released from the boxes in which they
were shipped and placed in the cages in the
carnivora house. The cases were landed on
the pavement behind the house, and the
nails drawn which secured the sliding lid of
the box holding the royal Bengal tigress.
The wooden case was placed close to the
door of the den, the lid was raised, and the
stranger urged to step into her new dwell
ing. She hesitated. An attendant tried
to convey the idea to her ON the end of a
pole, but she didn't seem TO grasp his
meaning, though she did the pole. Finally
she entered the iron cage with bound and
appeared rather daZed to find how much
freedom she possessed. She then started on
a "go-as-you-please" about the cage. When
thu reporter left she had covered an in.

the leopard, with this exception, that
when the iron sliding door OF the large cage
was dropped the lcopard's tail was under l..
The effect was magical The leopard
sprang to the top of the cage and chung
there as though death stared her in the
face. Some swans which arrived at the
same time were already dressing their
feathers at one of the little ponds. A small
African elephat and a cassowary will arrive
in June. The officers say they are much
troubled by visitors Unfortunately feed

stuff are thrown to them, of which they
eat so much that they neglect their
legitimate food. Four of the seals died

so that the juices flow away from the rump

there is more bone in them Next to the
porter-house is the sirloin, which is the hip.
There is no steak in the animal like the
round-boned sirloin,n said Miss Parloa.

should never be cut less than an inch thick.
The lower side Of round steak is very nice
for stew or for any slow method of cook
ing. Steaks from the top of the round must
BIO cooked quickly, so as to harden the al.
bumen on the outside. They should be
rare" Turning to the forequarter, which
after the manner of New York cutting con-
tanned all the ribs, Miss PArloa said that
only way, to balance the supply and de-
mand in beef was for housekeepers to be
willing to use all portions of the animal.
Then they could get any part they wanted.
The first cut of rib roast was particularly
economical for small families. 1t was thick
enough and would not spoil in cooking.
The cost and value of rib roasts depends
on the length OF the ribs, long ribs being
worthless because less is left TO be worked
up into corned.beet. Fat corned- beef is
better than lean because the fat prevents
the juices from escaping into the brine. FIJI
let OF beet is tenderloin. In veal il is a ten
der slice cut from the leg. Veal outlets are
ribs, although they are cut from the leg.
Mutton or pork chops are equivalent 10
porter-h0use steak in beef. Meat ought to
hang three weeks. IF could have my
steaks cut from prime well-seasoned beet, ]
would always have round, said Miss Par
loa in closing. "For ordinary mortals, /
suppose porter. house is best. Long. boned
sirlein Is the best sirloin. All the meat
grown near the back is sure to be nice."--

TWO TEXAS HEARTS.
A Mustang Case Of Consistency Equal to that
of Damon and Pythias.

Oh Damon ana Pythias.
The Louisville Courier Journal in recent
issue says: Some time last fall Mr.. d. G,
Evans, who lives on Market street, between
Tenth and Eleventh Streets bought pair
of Texas mustangs, which were offered fol
sale at one ofths auction sales in this city
They were shaggy little suimals, under.
sized and apparently Of so little value that
1t was only the low. price at which they
were offered that induced Mr.. Evans Ia
make the purchase. They proved, how
ever to be hardy and useful, and soon be.
came such great favoriles with their owner
that he abandoned his first design of trad.
ing them off, and resolved to keep them
for his own use.
Early in the winter Mr.. Evans sent both
the horses out to o farm near Mudrnugh's
Hin to remain until spring. They were but
little used and were permitted to run at
large IN the pastures. The evident aflec.
ton which existed between the two animals
was noticed and commented upon by every
body, and they became great pets with the
farmers household, the children especially
They were inseparable, so much so that
where one could be found the other was
not far oil, and iiether was ridden or driven
away from home its mate had to be taken
along too.
About two weeks ago the smaller horse
was taken i'll from some malady peculiar
to the equine race. He grew steadily worse
day By day in spite of all treatment, and
finally became so weak that he was unable
TO stand or eat. His mate never deserted
him, but lost his spirits, and, with dropping
head, remained with his companion, never
straying of more than few yards from his
side. The sick horse finally died, and on
sunday the carcass was carted Off aud
thrown into gully.
From the time Of his death his mate
seemed possessed with demon. Hc was a,
nrst iastenu up IN a stable, but he kicked
the door down and ran out into the fields
neighing and acting In such a frenzied
manner for some hours that no one dared
approach him, and finally one of his In.
sane freaks he fell and broke his neck. A
stranger instance OF affection among AMI
mails seldom or never occurs.
