The Sex OF Rabbits,

SOLOMON AND HIS FAMILY.

u was oaly white Rat, B1s sasaiss
# I& In His way.
& Solomon was white rat wko lived
IN On artists studio in New York. He
received his name because Of his wis
dom and his solemn face.
Solomon was as trustworthy as
dog. He refrained from nibbling the
curtains and rich stuffs that were scat
tered about the studio, and was most
particular not to take cheese or rich
cake up on the sofa, where he was al
lowed to play and sleep when hisipaws
were clean. 'a #. .t,st
Now it so happened that q friend of
Solomon's mistress had some rats-a
father and mother and seven children.
One night stray cat found her way
to their cage and ate up the old rats.
Solomon's mistress agreed to adopt
them, and the cage was taken into her
rooms.
Solomon stared, and then went eau
tiously up to the newcomers. He soon
showed signs of joy at their arrival,
and Immediately took the little rats
under his protection. He called them
to him and coaxed them to snuggle
down by his side, as their mother would
have done. "
When they were allowed to run
about he watched them and taught
them where they might 60 and where
they were not to go, running after any
wild youngster who strayed behind
screens or meddled with what he ought
not to touch.
Only one Of the seven orphans turned
out a genius, but all of them became
respectable rats, and q great credit to
Solomon.
The genius of the family one day
came upon a guitar lying on the sofa,
and, running up to it, made the strings
sound. The music pleased him so
much that after his discovery he fire.
quently went in search of the instru-
ment and scampered back and forth
over the strings to his own great de-
light and to the amusement OF all who
saw him.

CENTRAL ASIAN DESERTS.

Nature There 10 Without Attractions OK
Any Kind Whatever.
Mr.. w. Woodville Rockhill describes
in the Century his attempt to cross
Tibet. His picture Of portion .of the
country he traversed is not alluring.
Lite in the Central Asian deserts is
rough indeed, he says.
Mature is without attractions OF
any kind; it is bleak and repelling;
never q tree Is seen, and scarcely
flower, except for month or two IN
the wear. Probably the Arctic regions
alone offer a more meager flora. One
sees only coarse grass, or bare, gravel
strewn ground Of a reddish tinge. In
tho most favored valleys, and near
some brackish lakelet, are occasionally
seen bunches of long black-haired
yaks, antelopes, or wild asses. q stray
hare or wolf runs across the trail; q
sheldrake or eagle flies slowly of at
ones approach. We're it not for the
wild yaks, travel across this great
plateau would be impossible, for dry
yak-dung is the only fuel to be found.
Should . murrain destroy thaslyre-
horned antelope, travelling. except
along two frequented trails, would BE-
come unfeasible. Violet winds sweep
the country daily, carrying with them
lense clouds of alkaline dust, which
parch and crack the skin and blind the
eyes. When it IL not blowing. It IL
showing, hailing or raining. Bogs,
msrshes and sandy wastes, cut at short
distances by low ranges Of moutains
rarely rising above the line OF per.
petual snow Though, be it remem-
bered, the lowest valleys are at a
greater elevation above the sea than
the summit of Mont Blanc), are the
characteristics of the bleak country
which we had to cross before tho In
hsbited regions of Tibet could be
reached" f..
