AM Odd AnimaI.

The armadillos are the mail-clad war
riors of nature; and the most completely
armored of the whole odd family Of arm
adillos is q beautiful ornamented little
fellow called by the naturalists Toly-
pentes, and by the Brazilians sbolita.
tsBolita" means ''littIc ball, I" and the
armadillo was SO named because it has
the power of rolling itself up into the
shape of ball. Its various shields are
so arranged that when the bolita rolls
itself up it makes perfect ball of hard
shell.
A traveller in Brazil tells of watching
some little children at play tossing q
large ball, about the size of football
When they were tired of the game they
threw the ball on the ground. and to his
surprise it turned into an animal, and ran
hastily away. It was one Of these little
armadillos.
The same traveller says that he has seen
these animated balls used by little
child in playing with kitten. The
game may have annoyed the bolita, but
it could not have caused it any injury,
because of the perfect protection afford
ed by its armor.
1t has need of all the protection it
can have, for it lives in a land where
tho mischievous monkey is plenti-
full. Anybody who has seen monkeys
teasing each other, will be able to gain
some idea of the torment the slow witted
armadillo must undergo as it is passed
from one to another Of party Of mon
keys. When TolyDentes is set upon by
the frolicsome monkeys. however, it sud-
denly curls up, and is safe within itself.
The bafiied tormentors turn it over, look
ing in great establishment for the tail
they know must be there. IfTolypentes
had any sense of humor. he would GER
tainly laugh heartily within his shell at
the chattering. grinning crowd.
AS the bolita, like the other armadilIos,
burrows in the earth, it has forefeet suit
able for that work. It's toes are armed
with long and hard claws, which enable
it to dig with wonderful quickness. In
stead of walking upon the fat part Of its
front feet, the bolita walks upon the tips
of its toes, and in doing so looks comic
ally dainty and mincing. At the same
time it can move with considerable
swiftness.
The aramadillos live only Ia South
America, and are all small in size com
pared to the gigantic armadillo that
lived ages ago. The largest now living
is not more than three feet long, while
that of former ages was as large as a big
dining table. -St. Nicholas.

The EfFecs Of snuff on Deer.

The Duke of Athole had recently as a
guest Frenchman who was desperately
anxious to shoot a stag. He shot at
many, but with one unvaryiug result,
that when he opened his eyes the animals
had disappeared; but one happy day a
herd few past him; he fired and a
monarch Of the glen fell. The counts
joy was extreme. He ran forward, seated
himself on the PROSTATE body of the stag
and alphabetically condoed with him
OH his misfortune to be shot. ''Well,
mon ami, so you are dead! Poor fellow7''
no cried, and having stroked the defunct,
proceeded to take some snuff. With an
air which nature has denied to all but the
French nation, the count held pinch of
snuff to the deer's nose. ''Take pinch,
mon ami-take pinchp' he exclaimed,
and in a moment found himself all in a
heap on the ground. Whether the deer
had been stunned, shot through the loins
or in some other way temporarily dis
abled does not appear; but. revived by
the snuff, he sprang to his legs and
bolted. ''Stop, traitor, stopr' cried the
count; but the stag never needed; and
so, consigning the beast to regions re-
mote, the poor count returned sorrowful
and stagless to dinner. - tinbur0 Scots

NareOflc Plants.

In Vick's Floral Magazine we read OF a
flower which creates laughter. Itgrows
in Arabia, the flowers are of bright
yellow and the seed resembles small
black beans. These are dried by the ma.
tives and pulverized, aud it is said that
small doses make person behave like
circus clown or mailman, for he will
dance, sing and laugh most boisterousIy,
and carry on in a ridiculous way for an
hour. The stage of excitement is fol.
lowed by exhaustion and sleep.
This reminds US Of an experiment we
made many years ago. We had seen Pro
fessor James r. Buchanan experimenting
with pulverized herbs by placing them
in the palms of the hands of class Of
medical students. While they sat in q
sort of expectant mood, waiting ipr
something TO turn up and holding va.
rious powdered herbs in closed fiSts,
every now and then some Of them would
tell Of the symptoms which were being
produced upon him. It was to us then
new and surprising revelation that
medicines could thus act without being
taken into the stomach, aud we are not
yet fully satisfied, as to the way they act
under such circumstances But having
seen Professor Buchanan's experiments
we were led TO try IL ourselves on a cou.
pie Of boys about seventeen years Of age.
Powdered Cannabis Indica from the same
plant which gives hasheesh, a narcotic
used by the natives Of India, was placed
In one hand Of each Of the boys, while
they sat quietly waiting TO see what
would turn up. One of them soon com
menced to litter and then to laugh bois-
ter0usly, and soon he became so hilarious
with excitement that we thought best TO
take the drug away from him. He soon
s0bered down. During the period of eE-
citement we tried to get him to cay why
ne was carrying on In such way, but
he was utterly unable to give any ex'
PLANTATION for il other than he simply felt
that way. The other boy quietly nodded
of TO sleep in his chair.
This experiment illustrates two inn
pOrtant things first, that medicine can
exert an action in this curious manner,
and second, that medicine will
apt differently on different persons,
according to temperament or idl'
osyncracy, Or susceptibility. what
ever ron choose to call Il. Furthermore,
4 may be remarked that both the exhll-
iFating and the supplying results OBJ
arrived in these cases are known to be the
effects Of hasheesh upon the human sys
hm when taken internally. - HeGpS

WHAT ARE WE COMING TO,

What sort of city Wichita VIII become
and how she is to be kept up and her pres
ent status and growth maintained, are ques-
lions that many thoughtful people are ask
ing themselves Well we can tell, but SIM
liar questions were pertinent five years ago
and instead OF q collapse or halt TO the boom,
it has gained every year and now it is strong
er than ever. Nearly five hundred acres in
new additions have been laid out the present
year and still they come In some of these
additions broad boulevards and parks have
been laid out ard one would imagine the
projectors expected the city to become a
place of $4,000 inhabitants in about two
wears. In the meantime, the street railway
system is to be extended to College Hill and
away to the extreme north and south limits
OF the city. Another new railroad is pro-
iected and giant schemes of internal improve
ments are being projected daily. What We
are coming to is hard to say, but there is
abundant evidence that there are those in
this city, and lots of them that have an UNI
diving faith in our future greatness.
