No Animals in the Dry Parts Of Caves.
No animals whatever are found in the
dry parts of caves. Dsmpness. or a Ger
tain degree of moisture, seems to be es-
eential to their existence. Under the
stones one finds white, eyeless worms,
and In the damp soil around about are to
be discovered blind beetles in little holes
which they excavate and bugs Of the
thousand-leg sort. These thousand-leg
bugs, which in the upper world devour
fragments of dead leaves and other veg
etable debris, sustain life in the caverns
by feeding upon decayed wood, fungus
growths and bats dung. Kneeling In Q

All men who employ animals in work

many years yet Of doing excellent trot-
ting service, but they cannot run In

How to Acquire Foreign Vocabulary.
Perhaps one Of the best ways Of fixing
the words and idioms OF language IN
ones mind is to teach them to somebody
else. The learner should try to irnpart
to some member Of his family what he
has already mastered. He should, above
all, seek command first Of words In fa-
miliar use, leaving to later stage Of
his progress the forms Of literary express
sions; his first business is with the COM
mon objects Of daily life, his last bust
ness Is with general terms. As he sits at
his desk he ought to be able to name
every article about him, just as when he
is riding In the street car or on the rail-
way he should be able to mentally recall
the equivalent for every detail in the
moving panorama Of objects. Boston

Curse mel Oh, fatherl'
There, there, Marie, do not weep
OF course didn't mean that. But only
shink For many years I have had q
regular engagement, and should have
saved money. IF You should go to the
manager, as you propose, and tell him
that we were suffering for food-that
yom old father was lying sick In this
miserable attic he would tell you that I
had been improvident- thatI had squan-
dared my money, and that now, In my
nttar helplessness, / must suffer the con-
sequences Of my folly"
Father, you accuse yourself wrong
fully. You have reared and educated q
family Of three, and for many years have
cared tenderly for poor mother, even
through all the varied stages Of con-
sumption"
The old actors daughter sat silent and
fhnughtful for time. She was revolv-
ing In her mind scenes and incidents of
which her father was entirely ignorant.
Letu describe them.
e was q period three months previous
to the foregoing conversation. The
mother had just been laid In the cold
grave, and the father was, as now, nm
able to leave his room. The wolf was
towering around their door, and Marie,
tinid in action, but brave in heart, had
resolved to assist the parent she loved so
dearly.
Il was bitter winters evening when
she left her home for the purpose. The
sharp blast cut her to the very heart, as
she drew her thin mantle around her.
But abe had read in the papers that girls
were wanted for the ballet at one OF the
fheateys They were TO apply at the
stage door that morning, but she had
been unable to leave her fathers side at
that time. She feared she would be too
late; still she could but try.
On reaching the stage door her heart
almost failed her; bat their home again
rose up before her, and she ventured to
accost the doorheeper.
Want to see the stage manager, ehS'
Yes, sir, II you please"
Better watt till tomorrow"
II tried to come today, sir, but could
moi"
11ndeedi Oh, here he comes; You can
apply to him now"
That functionaxy happened to be pass
ing, and hearing the words understood
their import at once. He turned a
searching look upon the poor girl, and
was about to pass on. But he caught
sight Of her facein the gaslight, and said:
mot bad looking II she is In rags. So
Jon want an engagement, chr
