ABNORMAL ANIMALS.

some of tho Interesting Specimens Lately
Discovered.
The expedition undertaken by Mr..
Caldwell (who was aided in his equip
ment by funds from the Government
Grant Committee of the Royal Society
is perhaps the most interesting, because
the animals which he has gone to study
are of large size and already more or
less familiar. The Ornithorhynchus and
the Echidna are hairy quadrupeds (mam-
mals) peculiar to Australasia, which
differ from all other hairy quadrupeds
in having, like birds, but single aper-
ture to the exterior for the intestine
and the urine genital canals, and in
having the skeleton of the shoulder
girdle and some other features of struct-
ure similar to those of reptiles. Like
those of reptiles, their bodies are COM
paratively cold, instead of being kept to
a definite "blood-heat" Q00o Fahr) as
MS are those of all other mammals. 1t
had often been reported, and some
kind of evidence had been given to sup
beasts lay their eggs like birds and
reptiles, instead of retaining the egg
like structure within the body and al
lowing it there to develop to a GER
tain condition of maturity as do all
other hairy quadrupeds. One of Mr..
Caldwell's objects was definitely
to ascertain whether these animals
lay eggs or not, and, of more
Importance than that, to examine
minutely the whole history of the
growth in the egg, and to compare it
on the one hand with the corresponding
development of birds and reptiles, on
the other with that of ordinary hairy
quadrupeds or mammals.
Mr.. Caldwell has found out all about
the eggs of these animals and collected
them in quantities. The Echidna lays
a single egg, which she then carries
about with her in pouch formed by {
fold of skin on the ventral surface ot
the body, similar to the kangaroo's
pouch.
The duck-molc, on the other hand,
lays two eggs at time and does mo-
carry them about, but deposits them il
her nest, an underground burrow like
that of the mole. Naturalists are await
ing with great interest Mr.. Caldwell's
account of what goes on inside these
eggs while the young one is growing
there; that is to say, an account of the
differences and resemblances between
the structures which gradually arise il
these mammals eggs and those which
are familiar to us as occurring in the
case of the common fowl.-E. Raj

of cats, cows and goats, but finally bald
headed man with red nose, who had evil

ging, and that settled 1t. Said he:
Few people would believe that the fish

or gratitude to man, but 1 know better. l
was out fishing this summer for black bass.
l was using frogs for bait and every little
while 1 would get bite, and on pulling
up would find that n fish had scraped the
pants off my frog with his teeth, or that
he had taken hind leg off. 1t was not q
characteristic of the black bass to bite that
way, and was annoyed. would put OH
fresh frogs, and the fish would bite them
in two, not touching the hook at all. Every
time, after bite, big pickerei would
swim along on top Of the water, and look
up at me with comical expression, as
much as to say: 20, why don't you give us
minnows| l put on another hook, and
finally 1 had Mr.. Pickerel where the hair
was short, and hauled him in. He kicked
and acted sorry, and after l removed the
hook from his mouth / let him go, and he
dove into the water and wiggled his tail as
much as to say: Il am confoundedly
obliged to you' Well, fished for an hour,
and finally caught the same pickerel again,
and 1 talked to him like Dutch uncle,
telling him he was no gentleman to be
fooling around mans frogs who had never
done him any harm, and calling his atten-
ton to the fact that had spared his life

since, and as soon as the pickerel finds out
that am there, l begin to get black bass,
and 1t is as plain to me as the nose on my
face, and that is plain enough, 1t i, 30 red,
that the pckerel understood what said,
and showed more gratitude than some hui
man beings would, who had their lives
saved. Honestly, when another pickerel,
or bull-head, would 60 smelling towards
my frog, my pickerel would drive them
away, and say as plain as actions could say:

was tho most marvellous thing ever saw,
and would like to have some of you go
out with me some time and see the pickerel

bald-headed man, turning to travelling
man who had look of incredulity in his face.

CREATURE
Tho Intelligence Which Distinguishes
Animate Things.

Some gentlemen were riding on train
one hot day, and sending clouds Of smoke
out of the windows Of the smoklng-car, and
telling stories TO while away the time The
conversation turned on the intelligence OF
animals, and several related incidents that
had come under their observation, which
demonstrated that animals had sense. One
told of horse he had that would walt
around saloons half the night, waiting for
him, going from one saloon to another, with
the buggy, and when he was drunk enough,
and his friends had loaded him into the
buggy, the horse would go home on slow
walk, and rap on the window with his nose,
and wake the mans wife up to let him in
and the next day the horse would look
ashamed of his master. Another told of q
retriever dog he had that would retrieve
nothing but canvassed hams. He would
steal ham in front Of a grocery, or in o.
storeroom of neighbours house. and al
ways bring the ham home In good shape.
The man said one such dog could earn half

before, and now had him in my power
again, and could kill him if l chose,
though 1 didn't want any pickerel to cat
Do you know, the tears came into that
pickerel's eyes as talked to him, and he
had a pentent look on his face. l have
never seen pickerel look so sorry as he
did. Then told him l was going to let
him go once more, and depend on his sense
of gratitude to do the square thing by me.
l said wanted him to hustle around in the
water and try to steer some black bass on
to my hook, and l threw him into the water
again. He looked back as much as to say:
Boss, you have done good deed, and
appreciate it, and you can depend upon me-
Pretty soon l saw the pickerel dart at my
frog, and almost lost faith in him, but he
passed by, and black bass that was fol-
lowing him took the frog, and l pulled
him out, while the pickerei looked up to
me and winked, as much as to say: How
is that for high% Soon another bass was
hooked, and 1 pledge you my word as a
fisherman that 1 caught dfty-seven black
bass in less than two hours, and every time
got bite my pickerel was right there in
sight He had evidently struck a school of
black bass, and said to them in fish
language: Come on, boys, L know where
there's dead loads of frogs and they fol-
lowed him, and he pretended to go for the
frog, just to get the bass excited, and
would then turn off to one side

British Millinery.
Small bonnets and moderately high
hats are imported from Regent Street
milliners, who are now finding favor
along with English tailors. Tulle, with
velvet in dark colors, forms combina-
tions for autumn dress hats. Silk tulle
of strong quality is gathered in rows on
thick wires over very light foundation
formed of only two gilt wires, one of
which is across the bonnet, and the 9TH
er extends from the brim back to the
end of the crown. Then thinner tulle
is thrown loosely over this, as if to veil
and hold it in place. The front of the
brim has puff of velvet upon it, and
the strings are of gros grain ribbon with
picot edges. This is very handsome in
almond, biscuit, or golden brown tulle
with very dark brown velvet and rib
bon. Some feathers in slender quill
effects beaded with copper from high
trimming on the front. For gayer hats
an English novelty is the poppy poke,
made entirely of small silk poppies,
with the exception of pleated poppy red
frills of tulle or of crepe lisse on the
brim, and filling in the slit or point in
brim above the forehead. For more
quiet tastes black tulle pokes have a
puffcd crown of plain tulle, with fam
like pleatings of real Chantilly lace on
each side extending to the top, which is
covered with bows of poppy red faille
ribbon slightly sunken between the lace
fans of the side. These bonnets have
no strings. For round hats black rough
straws have the crown nearly covered
with fans of red velvet that begin in the
middle or top of the crown and descend
to the brim. Three blackbirds made OF
fine jet beads are placed with their out
spread wings against the front of the
crown, and are large enough to cover
it; these are the only ornament.-Har'

cottage
The interior was ceiled with cotton
cloth, but there were no little nicely
made conveniences: no sink; no cup
board; no partition; no porch over the
door. All was in one room and all was
cheap and rough.
Outside. the view was no more cheer
ing. The shanty stood we'll up on the
hill or mountain. Below, and for lit
tie distance, both in front and in the
rear, was piece of tolerably level
ground, perhaps forty acres in all, which
declined gently to the west, ending in a
ravine, beyond which the earth became
broken and rocky again.
Above the shanty the ground sloped
upwards with n sharper pitch for few
hundred feet and then rose rapidly, be-
coming more and more precipitous, I'm.
til it reached the summit a third of ?
mile away.
In places portions of the solid rock
foundation projected through the bar
rem soil, while in others immense de-
tached powders, weighing hundreds OF
tons, lay only slightly imbedded in the
earth and looking as If push would
send them crashing down the mountain
side.
