MY HOUSE IN THE AIR.

notice tho house that build In the dir,
With the architect Fancy to plan 1t,
With elapboards Of clouds and with shingles Of
mist,
And with paint OF aerial amethyst,
Stands more firmly the shock OF times rude
wear and tear,
And Is not so like to get out of repair
AS my house with foundation OF granite.
And though scotrers may jcer at my house in

With gibes TINT are glib and sarcastic,
Those hard. headed fellows OF dollars and cents.
Whose whole life consists in collection of reuts,
Have never yet been in my parlors up there,
And sat in my easy and drear-haunted chair
In tho waving cloud turrets fantastic
No mortgage, ye thrifty collectors OF rents,
Can you clap on my cloud-uo9omed manstoni
Nor real estate broker can enter IT'S walls,
For tho drawbridge comes up, and the port
cullis falls;
Hence, ye vulgar profane, with your pride and
prctence,
No welcome for you; so arise and go hence
From this home of tho souls expansionl
Then stay with your ledgers, and cipher and

And ieer at tho house OF my vision;
I, snugly ensconced in it's Vapory wallis
Or, walking entranced in its shadowy halls,
Can laugh in my turn at your cipherng clan,
That has made such a tragic distortion OF man,
And hold your whole tribe In dorision.

GHOSTS OF THE TROPICS.
Strange Animals That Spend Their Lives In
the Loftiest Trees.

Strange Animals That Spend Their Lives In
the Loftiest Trees.
To the naturalist the most marked
feature of the great tropical forest
south of the equator is the inequality
in the balance of nature between vege-
table and animal life. From the forests
of Brazil to the forests of the Congo,
through the wooded heights of north
ern Madagascar to the tangled jungles
of the Asiatic archipelago and the inn
penetrable woods of New Guinea, the
boundless profusion of vegetable
growth is unmatched by any similar
abundance in animal forms. A few
brilliant birds of strange shape and
matchless plumage, such as the toucans
of Guiana amid the Amazon, or the
birds of paradise in the Moluccas. or
Hottest trees, and from time to
time fall victims to the blow
pipe or arrow of the natives,
who scarcely dare to penetrate
that foodless region, even for such
spoils, until incarnation and sacrifice
have propitiated the offended spirits of
the woods; but, except the sloth and
giant ant-eater, there is hardly to be
found in the tropical regions of the
New World quadruped which can ex-
cite the curiosity of the naturalist or
form food even for the widest of man
kind.
In the corresponding tracts of Africa
and the Asiatic archipelago the rare
four-footed animals that live in the
solitary forests are for the most part
creatures of the night. Unlike the
lively squirrels and martin-cats of tenn
perate regions they do not leave their
hiding-places till the tropical darkness
has fallen on the forest, when they
seek their food, not on the surface of
the ground, but, initiating the birds,
ascend to the upper surface of the
ocean of trees, and at the first approach
of dawn seek refuge from the hateful
day in the dark recesses of some aged
and hollow trunk. There is nothing
like the loris or the lemur in the
fauna of temperate Europe. We may
rather compare them to a race of arbo-
real moles, the condition of whose life
is darkness and invisibility. But, I'M
like the moles, the smaller members of
these rarely-seen tribes are among the
most beautiful and interesting creature.
of the tropics, though extreme difficulty
of capturing creatures whose whole life
is spent on the loftiest forest trees is
further increased by the reluctance OF
the natives to enter the deserted and
painless forests. The beautiful lemurs,
most of which are found in Madagascar,
are further believed by the Malagasi to
embody the spirits of their ancestors,
and the weird and plaintive cries with
which they fill the groves at night, ut
tered by creatures whose bodies as they
cling to the branches, are invisible, and
whose delicate movements are noise
less, may well have left a doubt on the
minds of the discoveries of the island as
to whether these were not in truth the
cries and wailings of true lemures, the
unquiet ghosts of the departed.-Lon-
don Spectator.

25.--The colors of Great Britain were un :
usually prominent at the Worlds Fair yes
terday. The British building, and those
Of Canada and India were brilliantly deco
rated.
'God Save the Queen was played in
each of the buildings controlled by Her
Majesty's subjects, and the day was given
over to festivities by all loyal Britishers.
It was all in celebration Of Queen Vic
toria's birthday.
The event was formally terminated at q
banquet at the Virginia Hotel last evening
given by the Worlds Fair commissioners
Ct Great Britain and her colonies to 100
prominent British subjects and residents
Of Chicago.
The Canadian Worlds Fair representa-

sponses and music and refreshments, and
the affair was most delightful.
The German section IN the Agricultural

In giving his reason for resigning he SAID
that the commission had not adopted q

A TOWN oUARANTINED
Outbreak of Smallpox at Carteret, N. J.-
Cases at Port Reading.

Cases at Port Reading.
NEW York, May 25.-Small-pox has
broken out at Carteret and Port Reading,
factory towns, three miles from Railway,
N. j., where 5000 men are employed
Two men who board at Mrs. Tennie
Aliens, at Carteret, where a number of
the Canda company's employees live are
stricken with the disease, and it Is feared
that it may become epidemic, as both men
have been allowed to wander at large
through the streets for the past week.
Early last week Thomas Deegman, feel
ing ill, called on physician, who dag
nosed his case as malaria. The man sub
sequently visited Bayonne, N. J., and
Brooklyn, N. Y. At the latter place he
called on another physician, who told him
he had smallpox in the worst form.
The man was advised to quarantine
himself, but, instead Of doing SO, went to
the Allen boarding house. Another
boarder was stricken on Monday, and now
the house is guarded and the town quar-
antined.
1t is feared that a large number of the
boarders will be stricken as there are no
means of getting them away, and few of
them have been vaccinated. Four new
cases are reported at Port Reading.
The fear of an epidemic is increased, be-
cause Carteret has no proper drainage.
Many of the employees of the Canda COM
pany, who have associated with the stricken
men, have left for their homes.
The yellow flag is displayed throughout
Carteret. Four new cases are reported
from the town. The people living near the
town are focking to Railway to be vaccin-
afed

gence.
