Troublesome Neighbors.

The wild Cossacks, living away down in the so1thernmost part of the Russian empire spend most of their time har- assing the Turks. They are peculiarly savage in appearance. Their uniform is the Cossack coat, full trousers, scar let undercoat hooked up to the neck, big boots, and as an overcoat they wear a bo~rka, a circular cloak made of coarse It with long, shaggy hair on one side of it. This cloak is big enough to cover the rider and much of the horse. The most distinctive point in their dress, however, is the cylin- drical hat of black astrakan which they wear at all seasons. The top is of cloth or velvet. They form part of the Russian cavalry and live principal ly on plumber, stealing during their raids into Turkey anything they can find, from a chicken to child.

The Perfect Ear,

In McClure's Magazine Prof. Henry Drummond discusses the question of where man got his ears. Nature, he holds, seldom makes anything new; her method of creation is to adopt something old. So when land animals were determined on, and nature started out to manufacture ears for them, she made them out of old breathing appa- ratus. She saw, Prof. Drummond con- tends, that if water could pass through hole in the neck, such as fishes have, sound could pass likewise, thereupon she brought certain species adapted to her purpose to shore, and set to work upon the five gill-slits and elaborated the whole in hearing organ. This was not a quick process, but the slow labor of ages, but finally was produced the perfect ear, and man was not ere ated until the work was done

THE DOG DIDN'T FORGET.
The Book Agent Found This Out at the
 Cost of a Quarter.

The Book Agent Found This Out at the
 Cost of a Quarter.
 The 1fian was book agent, says the BostonsJ ournal There was no use in denying that. Any person in his right mind would have known that he was a book agent. His trousers were frayed out at the bottom, his hat was knocked in at the top, and his general appear ance savored of many miles walked and few shekels gathered.
 He ambled along the deserted street a few rods and then stopped undecided ly before the gate of yard which sur rounded a small cottage house. He was weighing in his mind the pro- bability of sale. Before he conclued to enter the yard savage-looking hound put in an appearance on the inside of the fence and made efforts to reach the book agents trousers through the palings. Not succeeding in this diversion, the dog sat down to await the time when the man should open the gate to enter the yard.
 The book agent had made up his mind that he could sell an 'FAutobio- II steps of the house. But the dog was determined that the agent should not reach the front steps under any condi- tion. Good doggy" and ''nice fellow" failed to make the least impression on the canine. He only howled defiantly on his side of the fence. His howls brought man from around the corner of the next house. He was an exceed ingly lean and hungry appearing man. He took in the situation at glance and came over to where the book agent was vainly endeavoring to con ciliate the dog. He thrust both his hands deep into his empty pockets and drawled out:
 For quarter I'll call off the dorg.''
 The book man must have thought that the chances of sale at that par ticular house were extra good, for he drew out the fourth part of dollar and handed it to the stranger. That individual carefully sounds1 it on his teeth, and, being convinced of it's genuineness, he dropped it into his capacious pocket.
 Then, drawing his slouch hat down over his eyes and turning up his coat collar, he assumed highly dramatic attitude and in stentorian tones hissed forth: ''Tige, Tige, say! Thou cow ard and thou brute, know'st thou that thy master lies captive in wonder wood and dost thou finger here? Begone! Begon-n-n-e, I say?'
 The dog glanced up with half curious look, and then turned shame facedly away, and putting his nose to the ground he slunk quickly from sight.
 ''Yer see, pardner," exclaimed the hungry-looking man, 'that dog an I use ter play in high tragedy, an he ant forgot his cue yet. An, by the way, don't believe yer'l sell book in that house, cuz the folks has gone off to-day on a family picnic. They left the dog to look out for the house. Hot weather, ant it? So long"

A Deadly Tree.

The cannibal tree of Australia grows in the form of a gigantic pineapple, seldom reaching a height exceeding ten or twelve feet. It's height, how ever, is not a criterion to it's diameter, as the reader will imagine when told that one eight feet in height may be five feet through at the base The '1eaves" resemble broad blanks and are frequently fifteen feet long, twen- ty inches broad and one and half feet thick at the base. These board-like leaves all put out at the top and hang down so as to form sort of umbrella around the stem. Upon the apex of the cone around which these leaves concentrate are two concave figures, resembling dinner plates, one above the other. These are constantly filled with an intoxicating honey. A bird may light upon the edge of these or a man or an animal may walk up the leaves to indulge in stolen sweets; but death is the penalty for such rashness. The instant the honey receptacles are touched the leaves close like trap and squeeze the life out of the meddler After awhile the leaves will relax their vise-like grasp, the horrid tenacles will slowly unfold and nature has set her trap for another victim.

AN UNPLEASANT COUNTRY.
Some of the Objections to Living in North
 ern BorneO.

Some of the Objections to Living in North ern Borneo.
 The northern half of the island of Borneo is the queerest and most un- satisfactory place to live that one can imagine, thinks the St. Louis Globe Democrat. It is land of constant re- curing phenomena, where cyclones are frequent and deluges of water very common. The vegetation in that half is very fine, but in all probability the widest and most tangled on earth not even excepting that of Africa. The cause of all the trouble is the shallow condition of the sea north of it, great shoals of sand existing few miles out which extend along it's entire northern length. These shoals are covered by depth of water not over five feet deep. The constantly recurring winds that blow in that climate change to hurri- canes and sweep the smaller islands of all visible life. When such a storm strikes the sand shoals north of Bor- neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water in it's course and drenches the island with it. Often it gathers up sand, great masses of it, from the clear swept shoal and whirls it for miles high over the island, carrying it into the island and scattering it every where. The work of these storms does not always end with that. Entire shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been swept up time and again by the fierce wind with the water and sand and scattered about Borneo. In some places the ground would be literally covered with fish, enough to supply a heavy population for weeks. But such luck is no reparation for the evil the winds do, and consequently the northern half will never be inhabited by those who value their lives.
