The other German zoos are all well arranged
That at Frankfort is especially attractive. Mr..
Hornaday has . series of pictures showing

THE PARIS GARDENS
Paris has two gardens devoted in part to
geological purposes. Combined together they
would make one as extensive rs any in the
world. These places are the famous Jardin DIES
Plantes. on the banks of the Seine in the heart
of the city, and the garden of the Acclimatiza-
ton society. on the Bots de Boulogne, not SO
accessible to the general public as the Jardin
des Plantes. In both of these places, as their
names imply, collections Of plants are main
tanned. The gardens in Marseilles and Tours
are under the direction Of the Acclimatization
society. The Zoos" In Amsterdam. The Hague
and Rotterdam are managed by societies.
That at Vienna is under the direction Of the
Austrian government. The zoos in India aud
the East Indies, mentioned. above. are small,

COlOring in Furnis hing.

From Peterson's Magazine,
In furnishing, the matter of coloring is q
point that should be carefully studied A con-
fusion OF colors will spoil any room, and this
holds good even to the smallest appointment
and decoration. A chair covering or even a
cushion can prove almost as complete disfig-
urement as carpet which does not accord with
the paper, curtains or woodwork.
Colors possess character, and that Of the
most divers Sorts Some hues suggest warmth
and cheer, while others breathe of GOODNESS and
repose. Blue, gray, drab and fawn are the
proper colers for sunny chambers, while red,
pink and buff belong to north rooms or any into
which the light comes in a stinted way. Even
gloomy places can be made cheerful by en-
Pioying right colors, especially when there can
be added an open fire with bright brass fender,
There is one rule in furnishing which people
OF moderate means ought always to obey, vet
they are usually the least inclined to carry il
into practice. This rule it, not to be hampered
by the fashion OF the moment or afraid of
making ones rooms look unlike those of ones
friends.
The fact that several ladies in ones narrow
visiting circle possess q certain style Of car
pets chairs. tables, ETC., ought to prove q good
reason for buying articles entirely different in
shape or color. Furniture not so pretty is far
preferable TO having ones house 90 like that of
the right and left-hand neighbor that new
acquaintance can scarcely tell which of the
tnree domiciles he has entered.

The Prescription.

From Murray's Magazine.
There was some time ago O doctor whose
morning levees were crowded beyond descrip-
ton. 1t was his pride and boast that he could
feel his patients pulse, look at his tongue,
probe at him with his stethoscope, write his
prescription, pocket his fee, in space of time
varying from two to five minutes One day an
army man was shown into the consulting room,
and underwent what may be called the instan-
patient shook hands heartily with the doctor
and said: Il am especially glad to meet you. as
l have often heard my father, Col Forester,
speak of his old friend, DIR. L." "Whatm ex-
claimed the doctor, ''are you Dick Forester's
SOM Most certainly l am" MY dear fell
low. fling that internal prescription into the
fire and sit down quietly and tell me what's the
matter with you"

Ancient Babylon.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
Babylon, the great city of the Chaldeans,
was five times as large as the London of to-
day. Its walls were as high as lofty church
steeples-S3O feet above the ground. The
palace Of Nebuchadnezzar, the destroyer OF
Jerusalem. was seven miles in circumference.
The bed Of the great Euphrates was paved
with bricks. The palaces and temples were
full OF wonderful triumphs of painter, sculp-
tor and OF libraries of history, science and
letters. The Babylonians were astronomers
OF great proficiency, considering the age in
which they lived. and they watched the move.
ments of the heavenly bodies with intense in.
terest and recorded them with accuracy. The
moon was the object of their especial regard,
and her changes were noted with undagging
assiduity and recorded in calendars. They
called her the father of the sun.

Poison in Respired Air.

From the Boston Journal
Prof. Brown-Sequard is reported to have
lately informed the French Academy OF
Sciences that by condensing the watery vapor
coming from the human lungs he obtained a
poisonous liquid capable of producing almos.
Immediate death. The poison is an alkaloid
(organic), and not microbe or series OF
microbes. He injected this liquid under the
skin OF rabbit and the effect was speedily
mortal without commissions. Dr. Sequard said
1t was fully proved that respired air contains a
volatile element tar more dangerous than the
carbonic acid which is one Of its constituents
and that the human breath contains a highly
poisonous agent. This startling fact should be
borne in mind by the occupants of crowded
horse-cars and ill-ventilated apartments.

Mrs. Taylor Convicted.

THE AccoMAC POISONING CAsE-FIvE YEARS IN

An Accomac special to the Baltimore Sun
says: The jury in the case Of Mrs. Virginia
Taylor, whose trial for the murder of her bus-
band has been going on in the county
court since last Monday, rendered a verdict
about l o'clock to-day finding the prisoner
guilty and fixing her punishment at five wears
In the penitentiary. When the court reas-
sembled this morning the jury retired. and
after remaining out some time returned and
asked that the charge to the jury be read again
for their instruction. The charge as read by
the clerk stated that the jury might find the
prisoner guilty of murder in the first or second
degree, OF manslaughter. or might acquit her.
The jury then retired and returned with their
verdict. In response to the direction of the
clerk, Mrs. Taylor raised her right hand when
the verdict was pronounced, and she listened
TO the reading OF it with comparative compo-
sure.
As soon as the verdict had been rendered
Thomas w. Russell, of counsel for the accused.
moved an arrest of judgment, and stated that
the defense would ask for a new trial, and re-
quested the judge to set Monday for hearing
argument on the motion, which was done. Mrs.
Taylor, after brief consultation with her
counsel, was taken back to Jail. 1t has been as
certained that the jury ON the first ballot stood
eleven in favor OF conviction, with from FIVE to
eighteen years in the penitentiary, aud one for
acquittal. number of ballots were taken and
the result was reached by compromise. The
verdict meets with general approval among
persons who are conversant with all the facts
OF this celebrated case. There were but a few
persons In the courtroom when the verdict
was rendered

A Grand Army Organization that Num-
bers Many Distinguished Men.

Kit Carson Post, No. 2, G. A. R.. which cele.
brated its twenty second anniversary on Thurs

ship that is, perhaps, unequaled by any post in
this department. 1t was chartered March 10,

Burnham, ]. H. Jennings, G. W. Lithgow, Geo.
Peck, Vim. Low and Richard F. Rea, as charter

Although, like all posts, Kit Carson has had
its ups and downs during its long career, it
has initiated about a thousand members. of
whom only about seventy-h five have died, and il
now has upon its rolls in good standing nearly
five hundred men. 1t also has the record of
the largest yearly gain in membership, having,
in 1882. added liz members.
While the Grand Army recognizes among its
comrades no rank save that of the regular Off
GERS Of its organization, hit Carson post takes
pride In having on its roster many names dis
tlngulshed among the nations defenders on
land and sea. One of its members. Gen. s. s.

THE GREAT LONDON 200"
The great geological garden of the world is
the London 900" That is where Jumbo
came from, place that every child who gets
book for Christmas has read about. 1t is
situated IN the Regents park in the heart of
London. A public street runs through it,
dividing the park into two sections. Along the
street walls are erected, and visitors go from
one section to the other by means of a tunnel
passing under the street. The grounds COM
prise In all about 60 acres, and they are well
filled with buildings, ponds, and small enclos-
ures, all intended for mammals or birds Of
different kinds. There are monkey houses
bear pits, beaver ponds, aviaries, elephant
houses, and abodes intended for all kinds Of
strange and interesting beasts. Altogether
there are sixty-four separate buildings ar
ranged with yards or runways. The park is
owned and managed by the Geological society
of London, and was opened in 1928. This
society derives q revenue from which ex-
penses are paid by charging an admission
fee OF shilling on ordinary days and two and
sixpence on certain other days. 1t gets an in
come, too, from the elephants and camels, for
| a small fee Is charged those who want to in
dulge in such pastimes. During the last five
years the number of visitors annually has ave.
ragged about 700.OOO. One great point in its
favor is its accessibility. 1t Is, as stated, loca-
ted in the middle of the city, aud on two sides
is bordered with rows of residences of the most
| substantial character. The catalogue of ami
mails received at the park since it was opened
fills large octave volume and covers the whole
field of natural history. In 1886 there were s5l
animals presented to the zoo, 236 purchased.
232 deposited, 43 received in exchange, and III
born in the zoo, making 1,53S additions for the
year. The number of those obtained
by gifts or by deposit was nearly
four times great as those purchased.
Upon this source Of growth 1t is expected the

possession OF valuable specimens. would gladly
