Curiosities Of Trlendshin.

Curiosities of friendship would cover
nearly all cases of noted masculine or
feminine aflinities the world has known.
The law that governs friendship has often
been stated. A general impression is that
opposites match, mate and cooperate more
readily than similar temperaments
Goethe could form a friendship most
readily with children. Strong natures
like pliable natures. Highly intellectual
people find necessary rest with those of
less intellect and more emotion. There
was philosophy in the keeping of testers
or fools by those who were burdened
by affairs of state Walter Scott loved
nothing so well as his dogs. George
Eliots friendships were for men. Blondes
are said to prefer brunettes, and bru-
nettes blondes. -Globe-Democrat.

The Russian Tax Collector.

There is said to be no instance in which
peasant ever refused to pay his taxes.
Once year the collector enters the VII
lage, taps at the window and calls
"Kazap' Then the man or woman OF the
house comes out with the money, which
is always ready. tosses it into the bag Of
the collector, who does not count it, be-
cause he knows it is all the mouiik has
got. When night comes the collector en-
ters the best house in the village, hangs
his money bag under the image of the
Saviour, and carouses or sleeps till morn
ing, being perfectly confident that his
money will not be disturbed. because of
the veneration for the car, whom he rep.
resents, and the image under which the

Clin bne1Ilncs of nTorncon.

It was not until last year that the
Moors would permit any examination OF
the cliff dwellings which have long been
known to exist some days Journey south
west Of the city of Morocco. This strange
city Of the cave dweIlers is almost exactly
ike some of those in New Mexico and
other territories which arcnHoIogists have
explored. The dwellings were dug out Of
the solid rock and many Of them are over
200 feet above the bottom Of the valley.
The face Of the cliff is in places perpen-
dicnlar, and il Is believed that the trog1o-
dytes could have reached their dwellings
only with the aid or rope ladders. Some
of the dwellings contain three rooms, the
largest Of which is about TIKI feet, and
the walls offhe larger rooms are generally
pierced by windows. Nothing is known
as to who these cave dwellers were.--New

Calls for Domestic Animals.

In controlling the movements of do
mestic animals by the voice, besides words
of ordinary import, man uses q variety of
peculiar terms, calls and inarticulate
sounds-not to include whistling-which
vary in different localities. In driving
yoked cattle and harnessed horses, team
sters cry ''get up," ''cliclz, click" tongue
against teeth, 'gee, ''kaw,n whoa
''whoosh, !" "bacl, = ETC., in English
speaking countries; ''arre,'' ''arri,''
''juh, ''gio," etc, in European coun-
tries. In the United States s'gee''
directs the animals away from the driver,
hence to the right; but in England
the same term has the opposite effect, be-
cause the driver walks on thewight hand
side Of his team. In Virginia mule driy-
ers gee the animals with thU cry they
yee-ee-a." " In Norfolk, England, "whoosh-
wo;' in France, 'thue' and s'huhaut;''
in Germany, ''llott'' and "hotte;' in some
parts of Russia ''haiJa' a''-serve the same
purpose. To direct animals to the left,
another series of terms is used. In CALI
ing cattle in the field, the following cries
are used in the localities given: "boss,
boss" ''sake, snke'i (ConnecticuO; "coo,
coo'' Virginia); ''sook, sock, Z" also
"sooley'' fMaryland); .'sookow'' (Ala-
bamal; "tlon, tom Russia); and for
calling horses, s'kope, kope" CMaryland
and Alabama); for calling sheep, ''ko-

specimens of African sheen.

African sheep, as represented by speci-
mems in the Berlin geological gardens,
vary greatly in size and form, some being
large and clumsy, while others are quite
small and graceful, with slender, deer
ike limbs. The color is always black
AMI white. They are not, like European
species, covered with wool, but have only
stiff, coarse hair, which is short and even,
except on the necks Of the bucks They
are useful only as food, for which they
are highly priced by the blacks. .--Arkan-

Wills coffee house has been emphaticaIly

and accurate research which Mr.. Laurence
Hutton has bestowed upon such matters. we
are enabled to recognize the old house 81

For many years it continued 90 be tho
favorite resort of writers, wits and men
about town, and the proprietor, William
Unwin, must almost have wolshipped
Dryden, TO whose constant attendance
its popularity was mainly due. The
poet laureate was Londoner to the
backbone, and though he would some
times talk rather grandly about his
summer and winter seats, closer acquaint-
ance with the great man would merely re-
solve it into whimsical reference to his
armchair, which in winter had its settled
place by the fireside and in summer stood
upon the balcony. Probably the poet agreed
with DR.. johnson, who described the great
chair at a club as ''the throne of human feiic-
ity;n but though Dryden spent great part
of his time at his fayorite Willis, ne does not
seem to have done much to support his SOW
ereignty. He was rather silent man, which
was the more remarkable as his thoughts
flowed rapidly enough upon paper; and
though the young beaus of the day Thought
it great honor to be allowed to take pinch
from his snutfbox, he was not particularly
popular among Them Cornhill Magazine.

ruins remarkable even in that land,
whose extinct civilization has long been
known as of great interest. Those Toll
tees, predecessors of the Aztecs, race
older than the pyramids, possessed an
excellent system Of irrigation. They
we're satisfied with a lighter flow than is

canals have disappeared, but the bot
