1t was "hoss aud hoss" with the fa-
vorites in Yesterdays races, the only
trouble being that the biggest fsvorite
lost. The great Silkwood, together with
his hewhiskered owner, j. Willetts,
was too speedy for w. Wood, the crack
northern PAGER, and took the free.for- all
pace in three straight heats.
1t was case OF misplaced confidence.

Previous to the call for this event the
three speedy horses had been warmed
up by several sprints on the track oppo-

black horse from Santa Ana was re-

Eating a PrickIy Pear.

My first sad experience Of the prickly
pear was gained on a visit to the market
place of Algiers. The fruit was handed to
us, politely peeled, by the Arab dealer, and
thus as we made acquaintance with its de
hghtful coolness no suspicion Of its evil
qualities entered our minds.
A few days later, adding the excitement
of little tresspassing TO the more legiti-
mate pleasures Of country ramble, we
came upon a well laden group Of prickly
pear bushes, and could not resist the temp
tatiCn to help ourselves to some of the
fruit. The result was woeful
Concentrated essence of singing nettle
seemed all at once to he aSS:!;llng hands,
lips and tongue. and ouf skin, wherever it
had come in contact with the i'll natured
fruit, was covered with thick crop of
minute, bristly hairs, apparently growing
from it, and venomous and irritating to the
last degree
Our silk gloves, transformed suddenly
into miniature robes OF. NeSsus, had to be
thrown away, perfectly unwearable, and the
tnadvertent use Of our pocket handker-
chiefs before we had fully realized the ex-
tent of our misfortune caused fresh ago

Mississippi Packets.

These Mississippi packets of the first and
second class are very large boats, and ROOM
iness is the most striking characteristic of
every part of them. They look light, frail
and inf1ammable, and so they are The
upright posts that rise from the deck of
such boat, to support the saloon deck, are
mere little sticks, and everything above
them, except the tunnels, is equally slender
and thin. These boats are not like ours at
any point of their makeup They would
seem to man from the coast not to be the
handiwork of ipbuilders-indeed there
has been no apparent effort to initiate the
massive beams, the peculiar knees" the
freely distributed "brightwork" of polished
brass, the neat, solid joiner work or the
thousand and one tricks of construction
and ornament which distinguish the work
of our coast boatbuilders.
These river boats-and | include all the
packets that come upon the Mississippi
from its tributaries-are more like the work
of carpenters ard housebuilders. 1t is as if
their model had been slowly developed
from that of barge to that of house
boat or barge with roof over it-then az
If a house for passengers had been built on
top of the first roof, and the Texas" and
bureau" had followed on the second roof.

Crocodiles in Water.

The crocodiles are thoroughly aquatic in
their habits, and their peculiar conforma-
tion enables them to attack and seize their
prey unawares. Their nostrils, which lead
by long canal to the back part of their
throats, their eyes and their ears are placed
on the upper part of the head, so that when
In the water they can breathe, see and hear.
while they are themselves practically in
visible. When they dive their nostrils and
ears are closed by lids or valves, and their
eyes are covered by transparent nictitat-
Ing membrane They are further furnished
with an arrangement which prevents the
water from getting down their own throats
when they are holding large animals under
the water to drown them.
The dentition of these reptiles is peculiar;
the teeth are sharp and conical, and are
hollow at the base, and each tooth serves as
the sheath of another, which will in time
replace it. The tongue-for, notwithstand-
ing the ancient belief, the crocodile does
possess a tongues fleshy and is attached
to the bottom of the mouth, And finally
the lower jaw is hinged at the very back of
the skull, thus giving the animal it's extraor-
dinary gape and also the peculiar appear
ance which caused the notion that it moved
its upper jaw.-London Saturday Review.

seat in the crowd to thank the giver who
had no longer need of it. The man, how
ever, did not forget what he considered his
dues, and complained to another man that

thanks There are certain courtesies that
