How a Cunning Lad Managed to
Catch Rabbits Galore. #&#

no" cunning L0d Managed TO
Catch Rabbits Galore. )
On property where the rabbit shoot
ing was strictly preserved, upon the
southern coast of England. boy was
once caught with two dead rabbits in
his possession, and nothing else that
would account for their decease. A
search of his pockets revealed nothing
but two live crabs Of small dimensions,
the end of candle and a box Of
matches. Under promise Of release the
urchin was persuaded to disclose his
method Of procedure. 4.
First he selected likely burrow and
then he stripped off his clothes, put
ting his coat over one hole, his trousers
over another and his shirt over tho
third. He lit the candle and dropped
a little of the grease upon a crabs
back and stuck the lighted candle
thereon and then put the crab at an
unoccupied opening. Straightway the
frightened torch bearer fed sideways
into the darkness and explored the In;
nermost depths, while the boy, expect
ant as, a terrier, awaited events out
side. Presently a rabbit bolted into the
coat and boy, rabbit and coat all rolled
over together, the boy rising from the
fray with the rabbit in his clutches.
What happened to the crab the history
did not relate. Let us hope that the
candle was extinguished by other
means than burning itself out.-Lon

He sat on a box which he had been

Evidently being suddenly overcome

were pred at Hampton Court, includ-
ing two young ones which are still j
unnamed. The queen always chooses
the names for the famous creams, and
the tendency Of her mind is to give
them imposing titles, such as sovereign
and emperor. It is not surprising that
she is proud of them, for they are most
beautiful creatures, all perfect horses,
with flowing names and tails a few
shades deeper than their rats in color.
Their
coats are full of wonderful lights and

Red Morocco Harness. II.
The gorgeous harness Of red morocco
which is used by these horses was
originally made for William w, though
he never used it. The leather is almost
covered with exquisitely chased gilt
metal work, and altogether the har-
ness is as magnificent set as can well
be imagined. No collar is used, it being
all breast harness The bride and bit
alone weigh sixteen pounds, and the
whole set weighs 40, heavy weight
for horse to carry in addition to q
position, and the creams often become
FESTIVE under their burden, although
they scarcely go beyond a walk The
state harness-room is quite show,
for the harness is kept in glass cases
round the chamber In addition to
the set of red harness for eight horses,
there is another set for q pair, larger
and even more imposing. 1t was made
and often used during the life Of the
PRINCE Consort, but is never used now.
A ponderous set of black and gilt har-
ness was made for George III, but far
lighter and prettier is the set Of harness
| for the blacks-which as team are
only slightly less striking than the
creams-which is used by the prince
and princess Of Wales at levees, draw
| ing-rooms and important functions.
| The leather is black, ornamented with
ormolu chasing, and it looks very hand

and large red rosettes. Another black
and brass set, which is often used for
theater work and semi-state occasions,
is of Irish manufacture and compares
well with the work of the mother coun-
try. In the graceful ornamentation
the shamrock occupies a prominent
position. ta3 -

to little Barbara's doll Gladys, which
was thereupon sent to a store where
surgical attention is given to wounded
dolls. When the day came for it to
be discharged, cured, Barbara obtained 1Lr ed

Barbara stood on hptoe before the

tendent, Mr.. Nicholas, is then by no
means an easy one, for to his lot falls
the apportioning Of the eighty eight car
riages of her majesty's stable This
large number, Of course, includes the
famous state coach, the jubilee landau,
the semi-state coach, which her majesty
now always uses in preference to the
state coach, and eleven othe: "dress

a A Coach That Makesvictoria Sick.
The state coach is wonderful piece
of work. It is made Of the finest oak
gilt and weighs over four tons. The
body OF the coach is borne by four huge
tritons, those in front also supporting
the box seat, which it would take very
imposing cOachman to fill adequately.
The body is decorated with eight myth
illogical and allegorical panels, very fine
examples of Cipriani's best style. Curl
ously enough, there is no suggestion Of
vulgarity about this gold carriage,
which for magnifcence throws that
used by the lord mayor entirely in the
shade and it is difficult to understand
why her majesty has ceased to use it.,
for having been built over 100 years
ago for the coronation of George III,
and having taken four sovereigls to be
crowned, it has historical interest,
besides being a most effective addi-
ton to any form of pageant. But the
queen never liked the coach, chiefly,
be it whispered, because the extreme
strength of the springs caused a sway
ing movement which always made her
feel sick, and no doubt the fact that
she used it so constantly in company
with her husband makes Der dread to
revive memories of the past. She has
never used it since his death. The semi
state coach which has replaced it was,
like one set of the harness, made in
Ireland, and except for this fact and
that it is always used at the opening of
parliament it is scarcely worth COM
ment, for, though handsome, 1t is not
remarkable.
Far more interesting is the jubilee
landau, which, if possible, the queen
uses in it's place. This landau was not,
as its name implies built for the JUDI,
lee, but had been in use for over twenty
years when it was accorded the honor

Rare, African and sAsiatic Animals
1 That Inhabit Dense Forests.
To the naturalist the most marked !.
feature Of the great tropical forests
south Of the equator is the inequality
in the balance Of nature between yege-
table and animal life. From the for
ests Of Brazil to the forests Of the
Congo, through the wooded heights OF
northern Madagascar to the tangled
jungles Of the Asiatic archipelago and
the the impenetrable woods of New
Guinea, the boundless profusion Of
vegetable growth is unmatched by any
similar abundance in animal form
form. a few brilliant birds Of strange
shape and matchless plumage, such as
the toucans of Guinea amid the ANA
zon, or the birds of paradise in the Mo-
& luccas or the Paupuan archipelago,
haunt the lOftiest 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 spells, until incarnation
and sacrifice have propitiated the Of
Tended spirits of the woods, but ac-
cording to the London Spectator, ex-
cept the sloth and the giant ant eater,
there is hardly to be found in the trop-
ical regions Of the new world a quad
ruped which can excite the curiosity
Of the naturalist or form food even
for the widest Of mankind.
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 live
! squirrels and martin cats Of temperate
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 arbOreal
darkness and invisibility But unlike;
the moles, the smaller members Of
these rarely seen tribes are among the
most beautiful and interesting crea-
lures Of the tropics, though the ex-
/ IRENE difficulty of capturing creatures
whose whole life is spent on the lofti-
| est 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 be-
ieved by the Malagassi to embody
the spirits Of their ancestors, and the
weird and plaintive cries with which
they fill the groves at night, uttered by
creatures whose bodies, as they cling
to the, branches, are invisible, and
whose delicate movements are noiseless
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.

1T WAS OUT IN COLORADO

Where Workmen Tried to Use a
Frozen Snake as Piece Of Snaft-f
ing. i
III the fall Of 1886 I was sent from
an Eastern firm to Colorado to superin-
tend the erection of saw mill to re-
place an old one which was destroyed
by fire, says a writer in the Cincin-.
natl Tribune. Every thing went on nice
ly and the mill was in running order
in about two weeks with the exception
of a countershaft to run the planer
and hatcher, which was missing. To
send to the factory would take not less
than two weeks, and we came to the
conclusion to cut piece off the old line
shaft and turn it up ourselves, as we
had an old lathe standing next to the
boiler and engine.
The weather Of the last month was
dry and very warm, but at sunset that
day q heavy snowstorm set in and the
thermometer dropped to zero. The
next morning we sent our engineer to
get, one of those old line shafts, but
found them covered with snow and ice.
At last he succeeded in getting hold
Of a piece about eight feet long. 1t
measured about two inches in diameter,
somewhat thicker in the center and
tapered at one end. We needed only
five feet, so we went for sledge and
ohisel to cut off the right length. One
stroke and off flew this thin part. I
told the men this kind of iron would
not do, but the engineer said, all iron
would break like this in zero weather;
it soon would be all right if it came
into the lathe next to the boiler. He
took the shaft over to the wise and
centered same, and from there to the
lathe, put the steady rest in position
and tried to turn it to the right side,
but all in vain. AS said above, the
lathe was located near the boiler, a
warm place, the ice had melted during
| the time and the shaft got softer and
softer, and the tool would not cut at
| ALL 49,. o.. *. ssss5s
At this moment the proprietor of the
place stepped in, and seeing his man
running the lathe, asked him what be
was going to do. Il am trying to turn
a shaft for our planer, but never saw
a piece of iron like this. First it was
as hard as glass, but as soon as it got
warm it turned soft, and is getting soft
er all the time" The proprietor took
a step forward just in time to see the
two ends drop out Of the centers, but
held in the middle by the steady rest
showing several different colors. The
proprietor was an old nan and hac
| for many years lived in Colorado, ant
one glance convinced him that his en-
sineer had taken Il frozen rattlesnas z
for a piece of iron, cut off the tail ant
nut the balance in the lathe to .urI
same off for counter shaft. Tht
snake was not hanging on tire rest Ions
or than d minute, when it commenced
to whirl around to free itself. All thu
men ran, and the snake after them
until somebody killed it with club
We looked for the tail, which by Thu
time also thawed, and found fiftee1
rattles on same. The engineer swo:e
he never would look for another piece
