The JaGuar.

The lordly jaguar is the king of all the
American Felida, and right proud are we
to have him for fellow countryman-
provided he does not make himself too nu-
merous. OF all the great cats now liv-
ing he is second in size only to the lion
and the Bengal tiger. South of the Unit
ed States he is universally called ell Tigre
fee-gree) which is simply the Spanish for
tiger. He has the big chest and loins,
thick neck, big arms and legs and bullet
head of a heavyweight prizefghter,
clothed in the most gorgeous skin ever
given to any animal of the cat family.
He is the most stocky in build of all the
cats, being very different in shape from
the more 1.-THE and fat bodied lion, tiger
and puma.
But it is his glorious colors that first
attract the beholder's attention and hold
it longest. On a ground color of rich
golden yellow, which is darkest on the
back and shoulders and grows paler as it
descends to the legs, are arranged, with
regular irregularity large rosettes of black
and brown. These rosettes are the promi-
nent distinguishing character of the jag
uar, by which any child can recognize
him instantly wherever found. The head,
top of the back, base of the tail, lower
Joints of the legs and the feet are plenti-
fully besprinkled with round black spots,
not rosettes. Ordinarily the eyes are light
yellow, to match the body color, but when
the animal becomes enraged they turn the
color of green fire, and then it is high time
to get out of the way.
The jaguar is an edition de luxe, bound
in black and gold.-W. T. Hornaday in
st. Nicholas.

The lomcotive, engineers, fremen. con-

The New York Herald's Washington
special says story is going the rounds
in that city that a wealthy woman OF
Washington, a Presbyterian, active in
the cause of social purity, gave Miss
Pollard $4,000 to prosecute her suit
against Col. Breckenridge. Her object
is to lay bare Col. Breckinridge's
Hypocrisy.
A special from Omaha, Neb., says that
Irving Gardiner, son of Dean Gardiner
of Trinity Cathedral, and Harry
Colpetzer, son of millionaire lum ber-
man, both young men, fought twenty
rounds Monday night, Gardiner being
knocked out in the last round. They
had quarrelled over a well known
Omaha beauty, and had agreed to settle
it under Queensbury rules,
Governor Hogg, of Texas, declares that
if the Southern Pacific railroad drives
the tramps belonging to the Coxey army
to commit any overt act he will hold
tbe railway officials responsible. The
governor informs the railway officials
that he has no more right TO call out
troops to protect railways from tramps
than he has to protect residences OF
citizens from tramps begging for food
A panic was created in the Circuit
court room at Albany, Mo-, Monday,
when Frank B. Earl and Jacob Miller
two brothers-in-law drew pistols and
Miller began firing. Miller was the de.
PENDANT in divorce suit, and he accused
Earl of causing the trouble. Earl was
| shot four times, and as he fell Miller
turned the pisto. on himself, but before
he could fire he was knocked down by
Sheriff Ross and taken to Jail. When
| locked up he became raving maniac.
Earl is alive. Both men are very promi-
nent.
| All the folks at Moosehead Lake are
confidently expecting a big business this
year. Last season was dull at Kineo,
as so many of the regular guests went
| to the Worlds Fair. Even those who
did not thus pass their vacation did not
come to Maine because their parties had
| been broken up. Landlord Walker OF
| Moosehead says that he notices that
| sportsmen are taking more to camp life
| in recent seasons They stay at the
hotels only long enough to have their
supplies put up and engage their guides,
| then they put away for the deep woods.

An Old But Splendid ship.

The ship st. John, which is unloading
at the end of Merhants wharf, is one of
the few full rugged ships that appear in
the habor and attracts much admiration.
Although she was built twenty-three
years ago, she is as tight and sound as
ever. Her Bath builder made every inch
upon honor After the st. John unloads
the rags which she has for the Warrens,
she will proceed to New York to dis
charge the remainder of her cargo, which
includes manganese ore and japanese
curios. The ST. John will probably re-
main here week longer.
Another rag ship is on the way to this
port from Japan.

The Title of King.

The title of king is shortened form OF
the Saxon "cying," which can be traced
back to the Sanskrit 'ganaka," a father.
This word "ganakaS' is used with the
meaning of king in the Rig-Veda, the
most ancient part of the sacred books of
the Hindoos. The age of the Rig-Veda is
not known with certainty, but it can hard
ly be less than 5000 years, and it may be
1000 years.
The father came to be called the king be-
cause in the process of social organization
the family existed before the state, and
the term was extended step by step from
the family to the tribe, and from the tribe
to the nation. Another name for king
found in the Rig-Veda is "rag." 1t means
a leader or perhaps steersman. 1t appears
in the Latin trek" and has thence de-
scended to the French "roi" and to the
Italian and Spanish tire. Pittsburg Dis

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Hands Across the Sea.

"Hands Across the Sea" is, as almost
every one knows, melo-drama. but 1t
lacks those overweight situations that
characterize most plays of its class. The
story is interesting and holds the at
tention of its auditors closely. the
serious part being pleasantly relieved by
an entertaining strain Of light comedy.
The staging is realistic and attractive,
but in no way overshadows the play
itself Good, strong and witty lines,
dramatic situations, swift movement
of events, all presented by a capable
company, join in making an attraction
that has pleased our theatre goers in the
past and one that will be presented again
for their entertainment at the Portland
theatre next Friday and Saturday even
ing and Saturday matinee. The Colum-
bian Cadets under Sergeant Sims that
created such sensation last season,
will appear.
Notes.
Edwin Milton Royle has achieved in
his play Friends" triumph as dra-
matist. 1t has been pronounced the
best play of the year and created great
sensation in Boston. Our theatre goers
will have the pleasure of seeing 1t at
the Portland Theatre the last of April.
