Old Beliefs About Prairie Dogs.

It mas been but short time since investi-
cation has shown that the supposed happy
family made up Of the prairie dog, the bur-
rowing owl and the rattlesnake, is not only
not happy family, but does not exist at
all. Our first idea was that these three
animals of such different habits lived in
perfect harmony, like the so called happy
families of the modern circus; but faith in
this belief IS somewhat shaken by the fol-
lowing, which may be found in "Wood' 8
Natural History" According to popular
belief, these three creatures live very har-
moniously together, but observation has
shown that the snake and owl are inter
lopers, living in the burrow because the
poor owner cannot turn them ont and
finding an easy subsistence off the young
prairie dogs"
We were satisfied with this for time
but judge the astonishment created when
Elliott Coues, in one of his latest writ
ings, makes the following statement in
speaking Of the burrowiug owl: Il have
found colonies in Kansas and other states.
in all cases occupying the deserted burrows
of the quadrupeds, not living in common
witt them, as usually supposed. Forest
and Stream.

Houses Made of Paner.

A new use has been found for paper in
the production Of building material which
is said to possess all the better qualities Of
hard, fine grained wood without being at
fected in form and dimensions by the tenn
perature and humidity of the atmosphere
In the preparation Of this material any
quality CT paper may be used, although
MANILA is preferred. During the process
of manufacture there is added to the paper
pulp solution consisting one part ofstarch.
one part Of gum arabic, one part Of bichro-
mate Of potash and three parts of benzine
to forty-four parts Of pulp.
The paper made from this combination
is coated with a cement of linseed oil and
glue, and Is then kept under heat and
pressure for about one week, SO that the
boards made may become thoroughly cured
and seasoned. It is stated that these paper
boards are capable of being worked up the
same as ordinary woods Of commerce for
all purposes TO which the latter are used
During the process of manufacture the
pulp may be colored 10 represent any de-
sired kind of wood, and may readily be
grained in imitation Of oak and walnut

ENHANCEMENT.

When the eternal springtime throvs
In skies from cloudlets free,
The idle diver never dove
Into the smiling sea
But. faring on the shining sands,
From each caressing wave
Garnered into his needless hands
The pearls the ocean gave.
Diver and sea are still the same;
No change its seal has set
To show on either when it came
Or what 1t came; and yet
The diver, now into the swirls
OF waters cold and grim,
Dives deep, in vain, to seek the pearls
That once they gave to him
Edward Lucas White in New York Sun.

The Little Tycoon.

This fascinating comic opera of Mr.. viii
lard Spenser has been produced in Richmond
every season for the past five or SIX years:
but that the more it is heard the frmer hold
II takes upon our music and amusement lovers
was shown by the large audience winch
attended the L heatre last night 70 listen
to IT, The cast was all that the
most fastidious could desire. Mr.. Joseph
Meaey as Teddy, Lord Dolphins valet, and
Mr.. r. f. Graham as General knickerbocker,
both appeared in characters which they have
created. and their renditions of their respec-
tive parts. Ike Old wine, improves with years.
They certainly were at their best last night,
as the generous applause they received fully
attested.
The rest Of the characters were also all ex-
ceedingly well sustained. Mr.. Robert Dunbar
as Alvin Barry" could hardly have been bet
ter. and Mr. George II. Broderick as Rufus
Ready WAS excellent. The Lord Dolphin"
