THE SEALS viii RECEIVE.
One of the Great Attractions at
the Museum Next Week.

the Museum Next week.
The wonderful performing seals,
whose funny tricks have delighted
thousands Of people at the dime muse
um last week, have been re-engaged.
They have attracted the largest crowds
ever seen at this popular resort, hun
dreds being turned away daily. In order
that every one may have an opportunity
of seeing them, Manager McCorddon
has decided to retain them another
week. They will, however, present an
entirely new programme. with the eX-
ceptiOn of the musical numbers. Their
singing always puts the audiences in an
uprOar. Another new feature will be
Mrs. Taby's reception. After each per-
formance the highly intelligent animal
will seat herself in her armchair and
shake hands with all the ladies who
come forward to greet her. But the
seals are only part of the great show
which will be at the museum next week.
In Curio hall there will be Ada Gray,
the lady skeleton, who is SO thin that
the light shines through her; Mile.
ZenOra, the fire queen; Robert
Harper, the tattooed man, and
Bully, the crank. This last
named person is curious Individual

will remain on the upper stage. In the
lower theater, DIR. Hoffman will present
a marvellous entertainment. Placing
his little assistant Avill under a peculiar
mesmeric influence, he causes the child
to float through the air unsupported,
seemingly overcoming the mighty force
of gravity. The Electric Sparks Vaude-

THlEviSH RATS.

They Even Steal Things of Which They
Can Make No Practical Use-Cunning An
imals.
Rats are not only very wise creatures,
but they are also notorious thieves.
They constantly steal things, especially
bright and glittering articles, that are
not of the slightest use to them. Awood
rat once formed hoard in a stove in a
house in California which had not been
occupied for a couple of years. During
some repairs the nest was found, and
curious sight it presented. The outside
of it was entirely made up of nails, all
neatly arranged, points outward. In
the middle lay the nest, composed OF
fibers, finely divided, of hemp packing.
Then, mingled with more nails, were
two dozen knives, forks and spoons;
three butchers knives, a large carving
knife, fork and steel; several plugs OF
tobacco; an old purse containing some
silver; matches; nearly all the small
tools from the tool-chest, but some
large augers among them; the case of
silver watch in one part OF the heap,
the glass face in another part, and the
"works" in another. Here, therefore,
you have an instance of rats taking the
trouble to bring together from all
quarters of house variety of things
they did not and could not make use OF.
This seems to show that rats have a
real mania for thieving, simply for the
sake of stealing.
But they are also very cunning ami
mails. How do you think rat man
aged to transport big potato to his
home? Lying on his back, he placed
the potato on his breast and held it
there with his paws, while his mate
dragged him along by the tail like a
sledge until they came to hole in the
floor. Down this hole the potato was
rolled, and the rats went tumbling
after!
However, we must not do the rats an
injustice. There is no doubt that in
many cases they behave very kindly to
one another. Here is a pleasing ex-
ample of such affection. A poor blind
old rat had acquired great liking for
cod-liver oil doesn't this prove that
they are sensible beings as well as
thievish, and cunning and kind?)-a
fendness which had probably grown
upon him before he lost his sight. Of
course he was unable without help to
crafty this taste of his, but a young
rat, plying his forIorn state, used to
lead him to the oil-fiasks. Now, when
a rat wants any thing out of a bottle,
he does not knock the vessel over and
break it; that would be clumsy and
wasteful. No; he slips his tail into the
liquid and then ticks his tail Well,
when the young conductor arrived at
the cod-liver oil, he dipped his tail into
the bottle, and allowed his venerable
friend to lick the oil off. This done,
the guardian carefully conveyed his
charge back to his lodging. Was not
the young rat really a good Samaritan?

THOUSANDS AT STAKE.
Some of the Secrets of Washington's High
Toned Gambling Dens.

Some OF the Secrets OF w aSh1nStOn'S High
Toned Gambling Dens.
The police here claim that there is
not single gambling den in the city
of Washington. This is probably a
statement of fact, for when the Wash
ingtonian wishes to daily with the
tiger" nowadays he takes the ferry
boat and HES him away to Alexandria,
Just across the Potomac on the Vir-
ginia shore, where he will find gam
blers and gambling in all forms. All
of the noted gambling places of the
capital are closed, and probably will
be for some time to come; but those
who are fond of cards are not deprived
of their favorite game. Poker has
taken the place of faro, and if
the walls of some rooms in the
fashionable hotels could tell a story,
there would be series of sensations
which would shake up more than one
community outside of Washington. l
hear that not more than a week ago
there was poker game going on in a
hotel in Fifteenth street which dazzled
even those who were in the habit OF
risking few thousands in the course
of an evening. At the close of this
particular game an ex-senator from a
Southern State buttoned up his over
coat over $4,000 in cash and some
checks and promissory notes for lesser
amounts. I'm all, his winnings repre-
scented about $4,000.
This incident calls to mind the pc
culiar antics of an aged lady living in
the fashionable West End, whose
house is the resort of some of the
wealthiest of the young sports
here, as well as that of some
others Poker is played here nightly
and the s'old party" invariably takes a
hand. There never has been any sus-
picion that the hostess resorts to any
but fair means to get the advantage,
but it is quite noticeable that her win
nings have been considerable and are
not due to her superior playing. Her
method is very simple one She
does not pay her gambling debts and
her guests have never troubled her for
them. She never invites the different
sets of gentlemen to her house on the
same evening. Those who can afford
to play for high stakes come one even
ing. those who want a medium game
come another, and the remainder OF

usually from five to six hours, and dur
ing this time the lovely Aztec maiden
or matron must soak her head in big
jar of this solution. 1t is the proper
thing for the women to change these
cones at least once a month. After
that the whitish soil of which it is
composed changes to adult yellow, and
caste among the poems as much as
there is among any other classes of
people.
These native women are fond of
necklaces, and you will often see them
going about with nothing On except a
necklace and a mud crown. Others
again will have very slight raiment.
The men do not wear mud crowns, but
they are often as limited in their attire
as the feminine sex. Their habits are
extremely simple in the main, though
in some other respects they go off on
wild tangents.
During the larger part of the year
you will see, if you journey through
this region, hammocks slung from all
the trees at nighttime. Indeed. if you
were to be out of a moonlight night,
and it was your first experience, you
would think the palm and pine trees
were bearing singular fruit. The ma
tives are all in these hammocks. They
are there to escape the tarantulas,
centipedes and Mexican scorpions,
which are out on the rampage. Let
one of these things get into your
blankets and he will never be easy I'M
til he gets a nip at the occupant. This
is why the natives will never sleep on
the ground. Besides. it is cooler and
more comfortable in the trees.
The peon, when he rises in the
morning. makes a queer obeisance to
the east. He is saluting the morning
sun, and does it by first bowling until
he has his body at right angles to his
legs and horizontal to the earth. In
this position he pauses devoutly for,
perhaps, quarter of minute, and
then raising his body to its proper
position, he abruptly thrusts his right
leg, and then his left, forward. Anoth-
er polite bow to Aurora, delivered by
an inclination of the head alone, and
the business is DONE
This salutation is supposed to win
him favor with the reigning forces of
the heavens and make him solid for
the day. The women never go
through this morning performance
They leave all such things to the men.
The children of both sexes quickly
catch up the ways of their elders, aud
thus grow up perpetuating all the Gus
toms of the race. San Francisco Ex-

look at the female portion of this I'M

resentation that makes you pause with

1T is no less than to put a great
clay crown on the top of her Uranium,
in which the hair is matted. like pigs
bristles, in plaster. This crown reaches
up say eight or nine inches and looks
like great plaster cone. 1t serves a
double purpose. Not only is it worn
al evening parties, but throughout the
day. Indeed. the primary object of
the mud cone was to preserve the head
from the intense heat of the southern
sun. Now, however, it is worn at even
ing balls, and no lady thinks herself
recherche and in positively good form
unless she has her novel crown on.
The hair is matted and twisted and
coiled all around in it, and it may be
depended on that it can not come loose
and come tumbling down and cause
her any embarrassment in company.

A Couple of the Latest Fads of English
Valetudinarians.
On turning down Oxford street my
attention was attracted by a huge sign
on the opposite side of the street, and
also by the number OF people flocking
into the building. This sign read as
consumption. Dispensing hours, 8 to
10 a. M, 8 to 5 p. m"
Entering the building, l was at a
loss what to make of the matter, as all
| could see was the crowd and a large
tank in the center of the room. This
tank was some seventy feet long, thirty
feet wide, and, as l learned afterward,
about thirty feet deep, having been con-
structed at great expense. While
waiting patiently for developments l
found that the liquid was being lowered
or let out by some means. Soon q
smooth black surface appeared to
view, and as the water continued to re-
cede / became aware that a captive
whale was on exhibition. Surprised
at not having to pay any admission fee

A framework had been constructed, on
which the animal rested, and soon an
expert milkman was engaged in eX-

absorbed at five shillings per glass.

that of the milkmen in Naples, who

no illegal dilution is INDUCED in.

Now, what do you suppose codloids

were retailed at two shillings per egg
