Mixed Up the Bea sts.

One day celebrated naturalist en-
tered the shop Of the late Charles
Jamrach, the noted London collector
Of animals, and said: Nov, Jamrach,
about the muscular power Of the boa
constrictor-I suspect it has been ex-
aggerated." Not bit, SIR" said the
collector, taking very fine specimen
out Of box. "He seems very lazy and
sleepy" said the professor; 81 don't
think he could exert himself in this
cold climate If he tried" you bet,
SIR" Jamrach said, and wound him
gently round the professors body. He
laughed. II thought so, Jamrach, he
says; 81 feel nothing" But presently
he sings out: "Take him off, Jamrach!
take him off, man; he's strangling
me" So Jamrach just caught hold Of
the bOa's tail and unwound him off
the professor, ring by ring. When he
had got his breath again, the profess
sOr admitted there was more latent
muscularity" about the creature than
he had suspected. "Now, sir" said
Jamrach afterward, that boa was
half asleep and stupid, for he had
just swallowed two rabbits, six guinea
pigs, and thirteen pounds Of raw beef
If he'd been fasting, it's my belief
he'd have swallowed the professor
himself bodily, for he was a small
gentleman" Upon another occasion,
a quiet family bought wild beast,
warranted to be quiet and manage
able pet-perhaps sloth or a tapir.
Some days after, Mr.. Jamrach, exam
lining his books, perceived that the
item tapir, or slOth, or whatever the
animal may have been, was not en-
tered with proper regularity in the
ledger and day-book-was, indeed,
mixed up with some other entry.
Suspecting something wrong, Mr..
Jamrach called hanson and drove
at once to the suburban residence of
his customer. His ring was not an
swered; but, at length, the cook, pale
and trembling, appeared behind the
area railings. "For Gods sake, Mr..
Jamrach," she cried, "save us from
that awful wild beast! Master and
mistress couldn't stand it any longer,
and have gone TO the seaside, and the
housemaid and / daren't leave the
kitchen for fear Of being eaten" At
that moment very fine and very
hungry puma--the fercest, perhaps,
among all the carnivora-put its
head out Of the drawing-room win
dow. The mistake was clerk's-the
wrong beast was sent home.

CUT HER BODY IN PIECES.
st. Louis Insane Asylum Authorities
Charged with a Horrible Crime.


A pathetic story of the career OF an In
sane girl and an attempt OF the local health
authorities to dispose OF her dissected body
by burying It in the potter's field without
the knowledge of her mother. who Is
wealthy resident Of St Louis County. has
come to light In ST. Louis. The girl was
Miss Maggie Long. She was made insane
by overstudy and committed to the city
asylum. She was taken with consumption
and It soon became only n question OF time
before death would relieve the sufferer.
The mother arranged with the asylum at
taches that when the end of her daughter
approached she should at once be summon
ed. The girl died. but no notice was given
to any Of her family. The next day post
mortem was held, and after the body had
almost been cut to pieces, City Undertaken
Sheehan was notified to bury 1t In the
potter's field. The last rites were to have
been performed, but an hour before the
time Of the burial Mrs. Long called at the
asylum to see her daughter She was at
first refused admittance. but when she In
sisted upon seeing her daughter she was
usherei into the room OF the dead A scene
followed which will never be forgotten by
the attaches present. The remains were
finally inferred In St Louis Cemetery.

the new commonv calth and the old
MOI archy. Commercial rivaries are
also involved. The United States makes
no entangling alliances. but the attempt
to re estahl sh Dom Pedro on his throne
cannot succeed without European help,
and 1t would be difficult to keep this coun-
try from assel ting The Monroe doctrine,
A military dictatorship is temporary.
while q restoration OF monarchy would
be permanent. Ever since the peaceful
deposition and exile of Dom Pedro in
trigues have been going on in Europe.
Brazilian statesmen have known all this,
and they have also felt the influence of
the Emperor's partsans at home. But
by a wise course IL was thought they
might forestall the al tual move to re.
store the Emperor. Dom Pedro found
little encouragement in Portugal The
house of BraganZa had claims enough
on the Portuguese monarchy by relation
ship and tradition, but the republican
sentiment I'm Portugal is so strong that
the monarchy has trouble enough to take
care Of itself The same is true of
Spain, where CASTELAR, heralded the fall
OF the Ii! azilian monarchy with resoic-
ing. France had no asylum because an
Or'eanst Prince was the Emperors
son-in-aw and his wife was to become
Queen On Dom Pedros death The
French Republic has had enough of Or
leans conspiracies at home without CIV
ing help to them abroad But in
Germany there was kindly feeling
toward the deposed monarch. Germany
was also anxious to extend her influence
in south America The Car Of Russia
took the exile "of his brother" Dom
Pedro as a personal aifiiction and for
year refused to recognize that there was
Brazilian Republic. Queen Victoria
was also shocked at the way ruler by
divine right had been shipped out Of his
own country. The English merchants
did not care so much for the sentiment
OF the Ching, but they saw its CONNER
cial bearing. So the weight of English
influence was thrown against the new
commonwealth.
President Fonseca and his advisers
knew they had nothing to hope for from
Europe and they turned eXpectantly to
the United States. They were not dis
appointed, for the administration simply
reflected public sentiment in recogniz-
ing and upholding the republic. The
reciprocity treaty followed 1t was
good trade arrangement for both coun-
tries, but with the Brazilian statesmen
commerce was secondary considera-
tion. They wanted to be closer to the
northern republic and to be assured OF
its moral support ii the struggle to re-
establish the monarchy came to pass
The reciprocity treaty was made the
point of attack by the enemies of the re-
public, and the British influence was
directed against it.
That tells the whole story and shows
where the interests of the United States
lie 1t has not much of navy avail
able, but it will manage to secure spare
vessels enough to see that the Brazilans
are not entirely at the mercy of Euro
pean fleets. The belief in diplomatic
circles is that the conspiracy to re-estab-
lish the monarchy has been fomented by
the Orleanist son-in-law rather than by
Dom Pedro himself

publicly horsewhipped in the streets of
Dublin by Mr. McDermott, nephew of the
late Charles Stewart ParnelL Such, says
q dispatch from Dublin, is the terse record
of an interesting and not unexpected event
which has just been placed upon the bulle-
tin boards of the various newspapers of this
city, every one Of which is surrounded by
demonstrative crowds OF hot blooded
Irishmon. The Parnellites in the
throngs which gaze upon the big black
letters Of the notice are jubilant, and do
not hesitate TO taunt the McCarthyites,
who also crowd about the boards The con-
sequence is that number of fights have
already occurred, while the temper OF the
partisals IS such as TO suggest the necessity
or,strong and vigilant police patrols. It
has been in the air that Mr.. Healey would,
by some one and somehow, be called to n
prompt reckoning for the exceedingly Wig
orous speech delivered by him at Longford.
Ordinarily, Mr.. Healy is remarkably for

The details have been perfected and the

The substantial outlines Of the treaty are
concessions to this country on breadstuHs

are about one-half thoses charged upon
similar products from other countries.
