SEEK THEIR FOOD AT NIGHT.
PrOwllnG Animals Which Keep Late
Hours In the Tropical Countries.

PrOwllnG Animals Which Keep Late
Hours In the Tropical Countries.
In tropical countries, where the
struggle for life seems to rage even
fercer than in the temperate regions,
a vast number of animals have been
driven by want to seek-their liveli-
hood in the dark, through stress Of
competition. The Cornhill Magazine
mentions the howler monkeys, for
example, who make night hideous in
large tracts of South American for
ests, beginning their dismal music
as soon as evening sets in and only
retiring for the day as dawn purples
the horizon. There are the lemurs
Of Madagascar, SO called because,
like ghosts, they walk by night and
withdraw at cockcrow- strange,
stealtlly, noisele-s creatures, with
great. wistful, poetical eyes and
enlarged pupils; monkeys that prey
on birds and insects in the gloomy
depths of their native forests There
is the slender loris. graceful and
beautiful beast, with eyes like a
gazelle's, but treacherous man
ners, who pounces upon birds as
they sleep in their little nests. creep
ing silently upon them from behind
like an Indian upon thu warpath, AMI
affording no Indication of his hateful
presence till he is within arms reach
OF his slumbcring victim. There is
that curious little nondescript ami
NAL. the ayeaye. who attracted so
much attention a few years ago at
the zoo-a quaint, small beast, half
monkey, half rodent. who comes forth
at night in search of fruits or insects
and crawls through the woods with
catlike pace upon butterfly and cater
pillar. And there is that other con-
Meeting link, the galeopithecus, or
flying monkey"-a lemur we'll on
its way to develop into bat, apelike
in form, but with a membrane
stretched loose between his arms and
legs after the rudimentary fashion of
the flying squirrel, by means of which
he glides from tree to tree with sort
of half jump. half fight, very curious
to witness. These are but q few OF
the nocturnal mammals of the mon
key and Iemur type, ancient ances-
tors of our own, gone wrong through
keeping such very late hours, and
now stranded for the most part in
islands or peninsulas of extreme an
tiquity.

SHE WAS SATISFIED.
A Small AsIatic In Washington Attracts
Much Attention.

"The other day." said a congress
man, my wife was passing one of the
legatio of the Orient. 1t was bright,
warm, balmy day, almost ike sum-
mer, in truth. Out in the front yard
was one of the ladies of the house, re-
splendent in complicated silks, and
with her blue-black hair full of gold
pins and ornaments in the guise of
miniature fans. But what caught the
feminine eye of my wife was a baby
this daughter of the sun bore in her
arms. 1t had black eyes and black
hair, and looked like little splinter
of Asia. Of course my wife paused.
no woman on earth could have done
less. A new baby is always subject
of breathless interest to all wo-
men. But add to it the fact
that it is of another and a far-of
race and the natural feminine trans
ports rise almost to frenzy. So, OF
course, my wife came to a dead halt.
She smiled at the lady of the tea fields,
and was smiled at softly in return.
Then she looked at the infant. The
gratifed guardian, possibly its mother,
approached SO as to treat my wife to a
fuller opportunity.
"'How old is it2' interrogated my
wife who has ever had a consuming
thirst for data of that sort.
Eight mont replied the tea lady
with an accent.
els it boy or girl?' continued my
wife, pursuing her regular system.
"'Allee samee likee pa replied the
other in a pleased, bashful way. The
census being now complete, my wife
rendered her congratulations and left
the princess of fans and the little
prince to continue their afternoon"

TEACHING Him TO WALTZ
Tho Girl who Tried 1t wnl Never Make

the Attempt ASaIh
Did you ever try to teach a man
how to waltz? If you never have,
don't attempt it. says the boston
Globe. One girl went through such
an ordeal, and this is what she says
about it:
IN the first place. I stood beside
him, took hold of his hand and tried
to illustrate how the first steps went.
Then l told him to do as l did,
and he began to ee-saw back and
forth like wild Indian.
when he whirled around both
arms sprang out, sometimes hitting
me in the eyes, and occasionally Civ
ing me whack in the back of the
neck.
His feet made themselves into
Chinese puzzles He invariably toed
in. walked on his own heels, or else
pranced around heel and toe fashion.
''He said that he had no idea that
he had so little control over his feet
Il mad to sit down every few
moments TO collect my thoughts
catch my breath and refrain from
growing incurably cross-eyed trying
to keep track of the whereabouts of
his shoes. 1t was one, two. three,
four until my lips became parched
from constant counting.
You'd have thought that he was
walking through snow-drifts to watch
his steps. Such wiggling, such
twisting and twirling | never before
gazed upon.
Il kept saying. You must be
very tired; won't you rest while? p
and he always answered: Tired?
Well. guess not? This is just too
jolly
"And then off he'd go in a mad
tangle of jumps and hops, and all
the time he sang that awful song
about My left foot is crazy, my right
foot is lazy, now don't be unazy, I'll
learn yez to waltz
after a while he insisted on my
dancing with him. Well, when I'd
start he'd be puzzling about which
foot he should begin with, or else
he'd say: Hold on now till think
of something to whistle
when we did make a beginning
he used me for a pivot and rae d
around me as if he were the tire OF a
wheel and the hub.
"Oh, it was awful! And when ne
got all through with the lesson, and
l was puzzling my brains wondering
why it wasn't more successful, it
suddenly dawned on my weak little
mind that had taught him to begin
with the same foot that girls begin
with.

through the whole thing again the

His B0yIzh-LoOking Son an Immense
Help to the Presiding OGieer.
When Speaker Crisp occupies the
chair in the house of representatives
his son Charles stands always at his
right hand. The young mans official
title is speakers clerk" and the du-
ties of his position are of a peculiar
nature. Anyone who has occasion to
deal with the father soon finds out
how much dependence he places on
the son. 1t is also easy to see that the
speaker is devoted to the slim, Doyish
clerk who is his memory, his prompter,
his congressional directory and his
daily program rolled into oE=- There
is no young man in this country to-
day who holds more important and
arduous position than young Charles
Crisp. He looks like a school-boy, SO
young and fresh is his face.
When the house is called to order he
appears at his fathers right han.
The speaker doesn't need a lot Oh
memoranda; his son takes their place.
The business for the day has been laid
out by the committee on rules and the
speaker. Charlie Crisp has seen the
chairman of the committee or his clerk
and has the program in his memory.
He knows just what business has been
arranged for the daily session and in
just what order all bills are to be
taken up. He also knows which mem
bers are to be recognized to introduce
bills, and every man who is to speak
on every measure to be discussed. He
knows in what order it has been ar
ranged to recognize them and he
keeps his father apprised of the order.
Young Mr.. Crisp is the one person in
the house who knows the name of
every member When the new ones
come in he studies them up till he has
them all in his head. He knows what
committees they are assigned to and
frequently the subcommittee as well,
1t is one of his duties to be ready to
prompt the speaker with names of
members for in the rush of business,
confusion reig1s around the speakers
chair very frequently. but the speak
er's clerk always preserves his seren-
itY.

Her Pathetic Want.

Mrs. Inchbald had a child-liKe
directness and simplicity of manner,
which, combined with her personal
foveliness and Lalting. btoken utter
ance, gave to her conversation. which
was both humorous and witty, a most
comical charm. Once, after travelling
all day in a pouring rain, the dripping
coachman offered her his arm to heip

amusement of her fellow-travelers:

Vision OF Insects.

A correspondent, referring to the
curious fact that neither flies nor
wasps will venture to pass through a
window across which a piece of fish,
net is stretched. asserts that the phe-
nouenon is due to the confused vision
possessed by insects. The threads of
the nets give them the impression of a
continuous surface, just as with us do
the hEtchings of an engraving that we
look at from a distance. The animal
believes itself to be in front of more
or less translucent obstacle, but one
in which it distinguishes no orifices.

altogether good-looking animal. He
said he had just bought him for $50
and wanted him sold. congratu-
lated him upon his bargain and told
him we could double his money for
him. The next morning before the
daily sale went to look at the horse,
and to my establishment he was the
same we had sold the day before. His
eyes had lost the brightness caused by
belladonna; he had forgotten the
energy put in him by the ginger, and
the red pepper pod which had been
placed under his tongue to make him
keep it in his mouth had lost its
strength and that organ again hung
low. With an investment of $2.15 the
fellow had sold him for $50, and if he
