ROMANCE OF TWO BROTHERS.
Separated During tho War, They Have
Itecently Been United.

Separated During tho War. They Have
Isecentiy Been United.
Thirty or forty years ago two boys
were born of slave mother in the city
of New Orleans says the Newport
News. They grew and prospercd as
other boys Of their kind did until the
breaking out of the war, when both
gained their liberty and entered the
service of the union-onc as sailor
and the other in the infantry.
The boys were thus separated and
neither knew whether the other was
living or dead One, Joseph Michel,
came to Newport some years since, and
has supported himself and family by do
ing odd jobs. Recently the brother,
Eugene Lewis, also came TO Newport,
and, strange to say. hired 4 tenement
in the house OF his long-lost and I'M
known brother.
The two went In and out of the same
door daily for months, until one day a
neighbour suggested to Lewis that Mich
ell was also born in New Orleans, and
the two ought to become better ac-
quainted.
Lewis saw no reason IN that fact why
nc should trouble himself, rs New Or
leans was a big place, and many chill
drcn besides himself were born there.
However, ono day he did speak to Mich
ell and mentioned the coincidence Of
the same place of nativity. Each asked
the other if he knew certain people
there, and when the names of the mas
ter and mother were mentioned their
llinship was discovered Lewis told his
brother of the death of their mother,
Louisa IIcrrin, soon after the close Of
the war, and the two are now trying to
find q third brother, who they have
reason to suspect is living in Provi-
dcncc. The two are now close COM
panions, and the case forms another
romance of the war.

KANGAROO RAT.
An Interesting Animal That Inhabits

An Interesting Animal That Inhabits
Death Valley.
Another most interesting animal That in

which makes it's way about BY jumping.
1t has long and powerful hind legs and a
surprisingly long tail. It's color varies
to whether 1t frequents the alkali or the
lava, nature intending to protect it from
capture by the likeness of its hue to its
surroundings. The kangaroo rat lives in
burrows, SAYS the San Francisco Examiner.
as does likewise q smaller kind that is com-
monty called the kangaroo mouse. But
neither is III any true sense a mouse or a
rat; they belong to families quite different.
Neve thsless, there are plenty of real
rats In Death valley, as tho expedition has
found. One kind that lives in the chapar-
raj, with bare tails and exquisits soft fur,
Is the staple food of the Digger Indians
who dwell In the mountains and therea-
bouts. The latter catch these beasts with
dogs, frightening them out of their nests.

relating to a certain Developments of their
skulls, which bulge out at the side in a sur
prlsing way. In fact. no such big bulpes
as these, which contain the hearing app,-

One Of the most curious sort Of rodents
common in cath valley is the .scorpion

that likes scorpions also is the s'chaparraI
cock" which gobbles them up by thou
sands, and is not less fond of centipedes,
tarantulas, lizards and horned toads. The
last named are too big to swallow at a
gulp. and SO the fowl tears them to pieces
before devouring them. Perhaps the m ost
beautiful mouse in existence is found in
Death valley, known as the .grashopper
mouse" 1t Is a lovely beast, fawn-col-
ored in the back, with a snowy belly

pretty little ears. Other mammals for,

shrews and a newly-discovered species of
