thought
Il would like to have such home
and shelter. but, of course, it is all a fic-
ton, invented to keep up the interest of

A recent traveller among the islands
of the South Pacific, however, says that
this style of house is common among
the natives. Trees grow there to the
height of a hundred feet without a
branch, and are then full of largo
boughs and dense leaves. The natives
build houses large enough to accommo-

creeping vines, which are fastened Sc
curely at the top and may be drawn up
quickly at notice of coming danger.
They do not usually live in the tree
houses, but in huts ON the ground.
When invaders come from the neigh

homes, where they are secure from dan

within few days the Executive Mansion
stables sheltered eight horses. Only two
of these, however-the seal browns-be-
longed to President Cleveland, the re-

Friday two of the ex-Presldent's horses
were shipped to New York, and the 9th

to dispose of these TO the best advantage.
Allan Arthur's Black Hawk team is
among the four now for sale and will
no doubt bring a good price.
