After all. the gulf which separates
mankind from the animal world is not 81
wide. Striking parallels in character
and temperament frequently present
themselves. / am not an admirer of

choice. is to my taste, but one day was.
perchance, and may also say perforce.
the witness of an encounter. the salient
features of which have not yet ceased to
afford me amusement and abundant food
for reflection. II is the daily habit of a
number of vagrant cats to rendezvous in
the area back of my house. The gener-
osity of my cook doubtless lends much
TO the attractiyeness of these occasions.
Nv attention was drawn to something
which appeared like the second joint OF
a turkey, toward which two monster
felines were cautiously approaching from
opposite directions.
A third cat sat with placid gravity
upon the fence. After variou.
maneuvres of a strategic character,
one of the contestants slowly allowed
his fore-paw to descend upon the coveted
morscl. Like the trumpet blast i'm an
old-time tournament, this signaled the
onslaught. In another moment they
were rolling, tumbling and bowling,
while shower of sand and fur fell far
and wide. For some time. during which
the conflict waxed fiercer and fiercer,
the third cat sat motionless, but with an
evidently increasing interest in the fray
so soon. however. as it was plain thai
the two principals were altogether
occupied in chewing up each others ears
the third quietly climbed down. leisurely
walked over, seized the bone of conten
ton, and hastily disappeared from view

In New Mexico an agent Of the ranch
man paid his semi-annual visit 10 q
distant grazing ground only to find the
pastora or sheep herder dead and the
aheep quietly feeding in a fertile canyon
near by, jealously guarded by his dog.
lin the rear of the corral, into which the
sheep were driven every night, lay the
hleaching skeletons of a dozen or more
sheep.
Astonished at the sagacity of the dog.
she ranchman secreted himself and
waited until night. As the sun began to
sink the sheep came trooping in, with
the dog in the rear. They crowded into
the corral through narrow opening, and
~ the last one pushed forward the dog
seized and killed him. and dragged the
ifeiess body to the rear of the corral,
where he made comfortable supper off
n portion Of the carcass, leaving the
balance for future meals. He had been
doing this ever since the death Of his
xmaster, and would probably have con-
finued his guardianship over the flock
until he died.-Chieago Herald.

Making Mer,naids for the shows.

The making of mermaids is pnrely an
American achievement, although the
first inventor was an Englishman now
living in this city. They were first made
in this country thirty-three years ago, to
nm an order of noted Snowman. Hun
dreds since have been manufactured and
have been exhibited all over the country
as genuine. They are Of all sizes and
shapes. The bodies and heads are mado
If paper, rags and wire. The tails are of
Goldfish. The teeth ale fishes. The arms
and legs are turkey bones. Dried eyes
of the turkey are used when available.
They are presumed to be more hideous
and fossil-like than those of glass or
paste.
The success of every mermaid depends
upon her historian. There are men who
sit up nights to think of something new
to say about them. Some of the exhibit
ors are very happy and clever in the
descriptions. One of these said the other
day: I've been a side-shower all my
life, and have travelled the whole coun-
try over. The best route for mermaids

A Timely warning to Bachelors.

The women have always said that for
neglecting to take up their share of So
ciety's burdens the bachelors. as rule,
got their full punishment even in this
world. But the single-blessedness fell
lows have shrugged their shoulders and
concluded that they could stand it;
women were creatures Of impulse and
their prejudices were apt to he all wrong.
But it is said that figures do not lie, and
even these appear to be against the
bachelor.
Al esteemed London contemporary has
Just published statistics showing that of a
.-iven 400, 600 bachelors between 20 and
- there are annually about 1000
deaths. whereas out of 100000 married
men of similar age the annual deaths
are only about 600. Again, between the
ages of 30 and 35, 1900 bachelors die and
only 900 married men to the 100000. So,
II self-preservation is the first law of ma
ture, the bachelors had better proceed to
make hay while the sun shines.
There is. too, in these statistics beau
tiful. if un1eserved, compliment to the
angel ministries of married women. Il
is to be feared that thousands Of married
men go along through their lives only
half knowing or admitting that theil
wives are keeping them out of untimely
Craves at the rate of 800 to 1900. And
with these figures to go on at this dawn
ing of a new year, there is no telling how
many bachelors and married men, too
may be happier by the LIST of January

and Krupp's steel guns. Both are OF

Esauimaux Preparing for Famine.

In the winter time the great herds of
reindeer have migrated southwark, and,
though few are to be found ON the
hunting grounds, it is precarious living
for even family, let alone large vii
lage. The walrus is the main depend
ence at this season of the year, and when
the wind is in-shore, or not blowing at
all, it is found ON the outer edge of the
ice-fioe and ice-packs, and there secured
by the native hunters. When the wind
is off-shore the ice-pack goes sailing out
to sea, leaving nothing but the shore ice,
called the foe. On this itinerant ice-pack
the walrus takes passage, and goes out to
sea for ride, leaving the foe, which he
seldom visits unless the ice-pack be near.
This going out and coming in of the
drifting pack is always going on with
the variable winds, tides, and currents,
and it is only during favorable times that
the walrus can he caught, hut these
times vary so rapidly with the others
that the alert Esquimau can always keep
himself well supplied with walrus meat
if he takes full advantage Of his oppor-
tunities. II these winds are long pro-
tracted, and the Esquimau is not well
supplied, he often has tough time in
stead of tough meat TO contend with.
The seal is something Of dependence.
but most unreliable creature withal,
the entire district being depopulated for
months at a time and then swarming
with them. It is easy to see that a
famine would depend on which condition
of Numbers these animals were in at the
time.
As famine approaches the Esquimaux

least to secure it, and, ranging them

J The Doctor. ON Brixht's Disease.

II
DIR. Austin Flint is one of the highest
medical authorities in America. Apaper
ON this subject was lately read by him be-
fore the New York County Medical asso-
citation. on which other leading members
freely expressed their views. He said it
was prevalent notion that the disease
was equivalent to sentence of death by
local tribunal. On the contrary, its
progress might be arrested entirely; or
be 50 slow that the patient might he
comparatively free from danger; or 1t
might continue indefinitely in about the
same state, and so, under favorable cir
cumstances, not prove fatal. If the kid
neys We're not damaged to an extent be-
yond one-half. and the other organs were
in good condition, so as 10 supply the
lack of the former, the person might con-
tinue TO live in fair state Of health, pro-
rided he observed the laws of health in
general.
In the discussion of the paper, all the
speakers indorsed the views of DIR. Flint,
and gave signal instances in illustration
from their own practice. DIR. l.. GEORGE
Peabody wished to emphasize the fact
strongly, that the disease might continue
indefinite without causing serious trouble
in those whose condition in life was such
that no stress was laid ON any particular
organ by their mode of living. and who
could have all necessary care. DIR.
Edward G.. Janeway mentioned three
cases in which the disease had lasted in
one case five years, in the second eleven,
in the third seventeen. When the last
case came under his charge. five years
ago, the prospect was very dark, but the
patient had now, to great extent, re-
covered. DIR. c. :. Wood gave the case
of one 60 years old, who was apparently
now as well as ever. though he had the
disease at least four years. DIR. Quacken-
boss spoke of one, perfectly well now,
who, when he first saw her, ten years
ago, was so bloated that she looked like
a piece Of wax.-Iouth's Companion.

B.autie, Of the Yosemite valley.

There are indications of a weather
change as the sun mounts higher, small
bunchy masses of white cloud begin 10
form around the summit of the Eagle
Peak and cloud cap has been drawn
over the summit Of the South Dome on
the side away from the sun, as if the
high-up wind had been boisterously
familiar and knocked it irreverently over
the old Dome's eyes. Clouds Rest, as
usual. has bagged the rest of the clouds,
and il looks as if rainy day would re-
suit. The wind throws the great fall
from side TO side, and as if to compassion
ate the beautiful but helpless stream. the
sunlight dyes its broken and shattered
mass into the most gorgeous of rainbow
segments.
About 10 o'clock it begins to rain.
After the first fifteen minutes of gentle
downfall ii slackens little and then
masses of white vapor instantly begin to
form all along the wall sides. About the
sentinel white gauzy veil is entwined
in four or five different spirals, an effect
peculiar to this rock. Evidently there
is series Of eddies that play in such a
manner about this mass as to form a
9eries of vorticular spirals of the wind.
At all events, the grim majesty of this
solitary Titan is very coquettishly re-
lieved by this Almeh-wound veil. 1t re-
lakes naught of this silent vigilance,
however, let the spirits of the wind be-
guile it as they may. In spots the walls
are completely hidden by the misty folds.
Below. around the cathedral rocks, all is
dark and forboding. Freshened by the
rain the foliage shines forth a richer
dyed dress. Colors that were bright be-
fore are vivid fire now, and their reilec-
ton in the river reaches when fitful
bursts of sunlight illuminate them, is
gorgeous beyond power Of words.-Yose-

which payer is introduced in new inven-
tons. A patent has been taken out for a
system of manufacturing slippers, sandals
and other covering for the feet out OF
paper. Paper pulp, or papier-mache, Is
employed Tor the upper, which is moulded
to the desired form and size, and a sole
is provided made Of paper or pasteboard,
leather-board or other suitable paper
material, which is united TO the upper by
means of cement, glue, or other adhesive
material. Tho upper is creased, en-
bossed, on perforated at the instep and
sides, which renders them somewhat

in use.-Demorest's MONTHLY,

Paper, it is said, is taking the place of
cedar in the making of lead pencils. A
novel use for paper has been found in
the manufacture of pipes. In addition
to being absolutely tight and smooth,
and much cheaper than iron, these pipes
are of great strength, for when the sides
are scarcely three-ffths of an inch thick,
they will stand pressure of more than
fifteen atmospheres. II buried under

argument, however, which relates to tho
Lena River valley is directly contradicteo
by Lieut., Greelys observations for two
years at Lady Franklin bay, where lie
found the lowest mean temperature YET

Grinnell Land, therefore, as far as VIC
yet know, is tho coolest part Of the
northern hemisphere.
Danish Greenland. whose mean tenn
peraturc hovers around the freezing

II ice forms in winter moro than IL
thawed out in summer. The authorities
N terrestrial physics agree that it would
require only a slight change in climatic
conditions TO remove Greenland's leo
blanket and cover the land with verdure.
tsero it not for the presence of these inn
inense ice masses constantly refrigerat-
ing tho air, the summers of Danish
Greenland would be as warm rs those Of
England. Mr.. Wallace is Of tho opinion
that If the two Arctic currents that
low south along both sides of Greenland
wero diverted from that country, tho
Great ice mantle would rapidly disap-
pear and the country might even be-
como forest-clad and habitable.
The powerful modifying influence thai
The great ocean currents from the south
exert upon climates is nowhere so stril-
ingly manifested as along the north coast
Of Norway, which mas mildsr temper
allure than any other part Of the world
i'm the same latit lde. At this moment
the little town of Bossckop, lying at tho
foot ofN ford which opens into the icy
waters of the Arctic ocean. wrapped in
the twilight of the winter night, is sub
sisting largely on the grain that was
raised last summer on the valley farms
in latitude about 600 miles north of the
south end OF Greenland. This fertile
spot is the most northern place in tho
world where wheat and rye ripen.
1t is the opinion of Sir William Thorn
son and other physicists that the prolific
animal and vegetable life which covered
Greenland and the neighboring lands in
n former geological age, whose fossil re-
mains have been found in abundance,
was due TO warm ocean currents flowing
north at time when our continent had
not yet risen above the surface to impede
or divert their course.-New York Sun.
