A Silent Com pliment.

In lettering through Italian towns
nothing strikes the youthful stranger
more than the extraordinary grace and
beauty of the women, and he natural
ly desires to express his gratitude to
those who have lent q new loveliness to
life, In the north this is easy enough.
..How beautiful she isr' echoes wher-
ever small feet fall lightly ON the pave
ment OF any city from Venice to Flor
ence, and now even to Rome. Dainty
little ears hear the words not unkindly,
and soft, sweet voices will sometimes
argue not quite kindly to whom they
Were intended for. But in Naples we
must be silent and discreet. The noble
men have revolvers and the lazzaroni
long knives hidden away somewhere
out of the sight of the police, but yet
within easy reach. Let the young man
be careful. and, il he must give vent to
an admiration too passionate to be
9siienced. let him draw his right hand
down his face from the cheekbones to
the chin. That means "Oh, how love-
ly she isr' and the slower the move
ment is. SO long as it is clearly percep-
tibie, the more deep and lasting is the
Impression supposed to be indicated.
Every woman, be she peeress or peas
ant, understands the sign, and will go
home the happier for having seen it.
Whether it was of yore a symbol of
worship for the old Etruscans we can
not tell. 1t is certainly one of the most
sincere forms of alteration that modern

A Laying Rooster.

There is very curious phenomenon
taking place with MIR. George MUIR
phy= 5 rooster, which he lately traded
Tor with q country friend of his, that is
inexplicable; a veritable rooster laying
eggs. This sounds very queer, but Mr..
Murphy says it is fact, or else there
is some unforeseen jugglery that he
can not understand. The rooster goes
on the nest every day, and after the
functions of the hen have been per-
formed he comes off, utters a derlsive
cslckle to the rest of the fowls. and goes
on about his business as though nothing
had happened. This peculiar fowl has
been watched closely by George. and
he has been seen TO go ON the nest dai-
IN, come off cackling, and there was an
egg. No hen was ever seen about the
nest, and the rooster is monarch Of
that bailiwick-or nest. This fowl has
aroused the admiration of our soul,
and is an example worthy of the EMU
lation of the husbandman. He has
seen the tolls and struggles of the over
worked and greatly oppressed hens,
and has come to their rescue. and
helps them to supply the demand now
seriously felt in commercial circles
and at the boarding houses. He cares
nothing for protection tariff, tariff
Tor revenue.
MIR. George Murphy's reputation for
truth and veracity is unquestioned, and
he wishes us to announce that if any
one doubts this statement he can come
and see the performance with his own
eyes.-ChaDmaas (kaal. Star.

The Origin OF Whales,

Let us return to the question with
which we started, "What was the prob
able origin of whales p'' The evidence
is absolutely conclusive that they were
not originally aquatic in habit. but are
derived from terrestrial mammals Of
fairly high organization. belonging to
the placental division of the class-ani-
mails in which a hairy covering was de-
yeloped, and with sense-organs, espe-
cially that of smell, adapted for living
on land; animals, moreover, with four
completely developed pairs of limbs on
the type of the higher vertebrate, and
not of that of fishes.
One of the methods by which land
mammal may have been changed into
an aquatic one is clearly shown in the
stages which still survive among the
carnivora. The seals are obviously
notifications of the land carnivora, the
Otaria, or sea-li0ns and sea- bears, being
curionsly intermediate, Many natural
lists have been tempted to think that
the whales represent still further
stage of the same kind of modification
But there is to my mind fatal obiec-
ton to this view. The seal, of course,
has much in common with the whale,
inasmuch as it is mammal adapted
for an aquatic life, but it has been con-
verted to its general fish-like form by
the peculiar development of its hind
limbs into instruments of propulsion
through the water; for, though the
thighs and legs are small. the feet are
large and are the special organs OF To-
comotion in the water. the tail being
quite rudimentary. In the whales the
hind-limbs are aborted and the tail de-
veloped into powerful swimming Or
gan. Now, it is very difficult to sup
pose that, when the hind-limbs had
once become so well adapted to func-
tion so essential to the welfare of the
animal as that of swimming, they
could ever have become reduced and
their action transferred to the tail. 1t
is far more reasonable to suppose that
whales were derived from animals with
large tails, which were used in SWIM
ming, eventually with such effect that
the hind-limbs became no longer neces-
sary, and SO gradually disappeared.
The powerful tail, with lateral cutane-
GUS tianges, of an American species of
otter (fteronalra sandbachis), or the
still more familiar tail of the beaver,
may give some idea OF this member in
the primitive Cetacea. Professor w.

"YOu Mean 1t, Sar?"

Two jet-black sportsmen at Kings
town, Jamaica, had come to the course
arm in arm as good friends. but some
contrariness having suddenly taken one
of them, they were engaged in a con-
tention which entertained a very large
company between the heats. The ex-
asperated negro at the time when our
informant first become cognizant Of
the quarrel was pouring out his soul in
NO measured or choice terms against
his late comrade, who evidently desired
peace at any price, and who met the
objurgations by exclaiming. "You
mean it, Sarp You mean it?" Upon
this the assailant not only repeated
everything that had been advanced
derogatory to his friends honor, but
proceeded to involve his friend father,
mother, sister, brother, land ebry-
body dat belongs to for you dam
family" in one sweeping malediction.
Still, the other demanded. You mean
1t. Sar? You mean itP" A threat to
''mash all him blasted bones" pro-
dnced only the same exclamation. And
ut last, just as they were clearing the
course for the next race, the poor en-
surer OF peac', having been knocked
down and trampled on, was seen rising
from the ground with bleeding mouth
and nose. and heard faltering as the
bell rang. ''1ou mean it, SarP You
mean P"-EtackWoCd s Magazine.

"If L Were Rich"

One evening. passing along crowd
ed street, l heard one boy saying to
another: ''If I were rich l wouldn't t"
and then the rest of the sentence was
lost as | hurried on with the throng.
But have wondered often how that
sentence was finished. Did the boy
say: IF I were rich wouldn't snub
my poor relations? or If were rich
I wouldn't spend all my money on my
.self''a or IF / were rich l wouldn' t
work any more or whatP We can
not know; but there is one thing quite
certain. Whatever that boy does, now
that he is poor, he would do if he were
rich. If he is generous now, he would
be generous then. If he is mean now,
he would be mean then. Ii he works
faithfully now. he would work with
fidelity then. For ''he that is faithful
in that which is least is faithful also in
much; and he that is unjust in the least
is unjust also in much. ''-Iadtanapolis

An Educated ChimpanZee.

Twas once the owner of highly edu-
Gated chimpanzee. He knew all the
friends of the house, all our acquaint-
ances, and distinguished them readily
from strangers. Every one treating
him kindly he looked upon as per-
sonal friend. He never felt more COM
Portable than when he was admitted to
the family circle and allowed TO move
freely around, and open and shut doors,
while his Joy was boundless when he
was assigned place at the common
| table, and the guests admired his natu-
| raj wit and practical jokes. He ex-
| pressed his satisfaction and thanks to
| them by drumming furiously on the
table. In his numerous moments of
leisure his favorite occupation consisted
in investigating carefully every object
| in his reach; he lowered the door OF
the stove for the purpose of watching
the fire, opened drawers, rummaged
boxes and trunks and played with
! their contents. provided the latter did
not look suspicious to him. How easl-
ly suspicion was aroused in his mind
| might be illustrated by the fact that,
rs long as he lived, he shrank with ter
ror from every common rubber ball.
oDeulenco TO my OIueIS anu dltaCH-
ment to my person, and to everybody
caring for him, were among his cardl-
nal virtues, and he bored mo with his
persistent wishes to accompany me.
He knew perfectly his time for retiring.
and WAS happy when some one OF us
carried him to the bedroom like baby.
AS soon as the light was put out he
would jump into the bed and cover
himself, because he was afraid of the
darkness. His favorite meal was sup
/ per with tea, which he was very fond
OF, provided it was largely sweetened
and mixed with rum. He slipped it
from the cup, and ate the dipped
bread-slices with spoon. having been
taught not to use the fingers in eating;
he poured his wine from the bottle and
drank it from the glass. A man could
hardly behave himself more gentle
manlike at table than did that monkey.

An obligine Detective.


Some months ago the employe of a
certain firm in Costa Rica embezzled a
large sum of money, and skipped. The
description was forwarded to the firm s
resident agent in this city, who in
structed the detectives to watch each
incoming steamer from South America
for the fugitive. When the Grenada
steamed past the city front yesterday
there was detective on board. and
this detective had his eye on a young
and acknowledgement man with fiery
red hair and whiskers. He answered
the description of the embezzler to a
dot. The detective smiled and felt
happy. After months of waiting here
was his man at last, delivered into his
hands. safe and snug, without the pos
isibility of resistance or escape
''How are you, MIR. Blank?'
I'm pretty well, / thank you." re-
piled the stranger, "but that is not my
name.
''Of course not, of course not" said
the detective, knowingly; ''we'll see
about it, however, my friend. Just
come along with me, and everything
will be explained" and the officer
smiled all over and patted the red
haired man affectionately on the shoul-
der.
The stranger followed his captor in
q dazed sort of way into coupe, and
they drove to the agents house. "You
have been at large long time. my
friend" said the detectives; ''you' We
had lots of fun. How much of that
money have you spent, now?"
''What money? You must be crazy" "
said the prisoner. ''Of course, of
course said the officer; '.jump out
here with me. There is a gentleman
here who is most anxious to see you. "
The agent met them at the door, and
to the establishment and dismay of the
detective, shook the red-haired man
warmly by the hand, and appeared de-
lighted to see him.
81 was just about to start for the
steamer to meet you" he said. 'How
did you find the house?''
This kind person directed me-" said
the red-haired man with grin. HE
would have it that l was - who got
away with us some months ago." The
officer was paralyzed. The gentleman
whom he had escorted to the agent 8
house was a member of the plundered
firm. quite as anxious for the capture
of the embezzler as the detective, but
he bore remarkable personal resem-
blance to the thief.
The question of whether, under the
circumstances, the detective should
be reimbursed for the hack outlay is
still in allegiance francisco alta.
