Ing schools or sending out scientific sur

people and an aid to the development of
science, especially in this country, by
preserving many species of wild animals
from extinction. The buffalo is already
regarded as an extinct animal. Not ono,
1t is said by competent authority, remains
in the British possessions on this conti-
nent; and in this country there are two
small herds, one in Texas and the other
in the Yellowstone park, numbering to-
gether not more than 1875. The leading
scientists, not only Of America, but of
Europe, have been calling upon our gov
eminent for years to preserve the bison
from extinction, rs the Russian govern
ment has done with the European bison
or aurochs.
1t is said that, at the present rate of
progress, the remarkable Rocky noun
tain goat will be extinct within five
years. Among the quadrupeds that are
fast dying OIL are the elk. moose, ante
lope, caribou, black tailed deer, grizzly
bear, wolf, beaver, otter and wolverine.
The delay Of a few years may mean the
complete disappearance Of some or most
OF these, and a gap in the history Of the
animal life Of this continent that can
never be hlled.-New Orleans Picayune.

Various Hints Concerning Diet.

Children, especially young girls, are
rarely properly dieted. There is almost
universally a repugnance to meat and a
hysterical liking for sweets or acids, that
is unhealthy. When nerves cry for food,
they are given a stone, and rebel in con-
sequence. A plentiful supply of meat
should be eaten at least once daily, and
this at breakfast, when the body needs
bolstering for the days work, and when
the digestive tract is empty. Taken then,
with moderate exercise, such food is
promptly assimilated and goes where it
does most good, directly into the blood,
/ heartily approve Of late suppers, and
am convinced that the human animal,
like others, sleeps best upon a stomach
filed with light, digestible food. OF
course there are idiosyncrasies; there are
many kinds of people, and the kind Of
food proper for one would not suit
another; yet there need be no departure
from the rule. An elderly lady came to
me not long ago and said that it was no
manner of use; she could not sleep il she
ate anything before she went to bed.
What had you for supper last night,
madam" / asked.

Concerning Charm. and Amulets.

A recent writer in an English magazine
tells Of the superstitions among the
gypsies and other half civilized races con-
corning charms or amulets. IA coin or
a pebble carried long In the pocket, or
around the neck, is supposed to become
imbued with the personality of the
wearer.n These amulets are believed to
have a will Of their own, 10 feel affection
for their owner, and TO cherish a hatred
toward his enemies. Not only the
gypsies but Indian, Asiatic and African
tribes wear little tokens 'for luck" be-
lieying in their possession of adumb, half
conscious intellect. In some savage tribes
o man Is known by his ''charm," or
fetch.
Our ancestors were not altogether free
from this superstition. The pouncets
carried in gold and silver boxes In the
pockets Of fine ladies' were withered ap-
Piles stuck full Of spices, which, after long
use, were supposed 10 become imbued
with the vitality or animal strength Of the
wsarer, and 10 ward oil disease from her.

small Hands and Feet.

We infer from some of the letters re.
ceived by us from u young readers that
a number of them cherish the ridiculous
opinien that to have small hands and feet
is a sign of noble descent and high
breeding. We can assure these deluded
damsels that race and breeding have
nothing TO do with the size Of the ex-
tremiues. The biggest hand WI EVER
saw attached to a human arm was that
OF a young officer. the scion of a family
ennobled six centuries ago. and we have
seen hands Of the most delicate size and
texture belonging to persons Of the low.
liest origin. Witness, also, the chubby
paw of her most gracious majesty, Queen
Victoria, whose race has been OF royal
rank for fifteen hundred years. Nature
proportions the hands and feet, with the
utmost exactness, to the other parts Of
the body. Consequently, the hands and
feet are always just right. To change
them would be TO destroy the harmony
of the frame. To be dissatisfied with
them argues q real yulgarity Of mind, a
want of good sense, and, we may add, a
thankless inpiety New York Ledger.

These qualities were more than ono re-
auired that day when the hawk flew
afar; but Peters voice never failed to
reach her and secure her return.
The cry varied with different men and
in different places, being with some a
long drawn tho! ho!" and with others

known as the following of the fall

was quite successful, for, in spite of her
disappointment and lowering watchfully
for the temperance Of the lost quarry,
the hawk at once obediently returned TO
the f~alconer's wrist. She was then
smartly hooded ard set upon the cage,
for both the falconer and the laird sue

The Stony, Hard Exterior.

II has been the fashion to assume a
strong Indifference toward strangers, even
if one does not feel it, and not only
towsrd strangers is this manifested, but
toward those who are associated together
in business, and the ones whom II
meets every day. 1t is not necessary for
two people 10 fall upon each others neck
every time that they meet in order TO be
civil. but in the short life that we live
here why not give and receive all the
good that we cant Strangers upon set
Ting in a Few place feel this stony and

Admired BY tho Car.

actor in Petersburg, one Of whose warmest
admirers was the car Meeting him upon
the street one day the car stopped him,
and after little chat asked him 10 per
form q certain piece at the theatre that
evening, promising TO De present. The
car came, but 70 his disappointment the
performance announced was not the one
lie had requested, aud the actor he was So
fond Of did not appear in the cast. Send
ing an aide-de-camp 10 the manager TO in
qure why his request had not been COM
piled with, the car learned that the actor
had myster!ously disappeared The police
were called to hunt him up, snd promptly
reported that he was in prison.
What fory' r0Gred tho car.
For addressing your majesty on the
street today" answered the head OF the
third section. An order for the actor ;
release was az once writtcn and carried 10
the prison The actor was brought into
the emperor presence. An apology was
offered him, and the car, much mortified,
asked what he could DO TO compensate the
actor for the annoyance and modification
he had suffered.
Nothing, replied he, ''only please
don't speak TO me ON the street again. -
