had made an excavation under the track. and
the cable road men were forced to push the
cars around tho loop by hand. The wrocking
truck was sent for. and gang OF workmen
tried to move the car 1t was decided
finally that the grip had become jammed
in some manner with tho cable and would
have to be removed altogether. After an
hours hard work tho grip was detached and
the car was drawn back to tho stables by
team. In tho meanwhile the other cars werc
switched to tho uptown track and made trius

cars stalled on the down track reaching from
the Post Ofice TO the bridge. This was caused
by the delay in switching the cable cars at the

pings of woe are a positive sensation.
There is story told that good though
eccentric dame long since gathered to
her accounting. in whom this passion
was abnormally developed. arrived in
town from her country place one day on
a shopping expedition. This lady heard
of the death of a mere acquaintance and
learned that if she hurried to the house
she would be just in time for the funeral
services. Shopping, as compared with
mourning, had no charms, and the lady
hastened to the house of sorrow Now
the constant travelling companion of this
good woman was brown linen atrocity
in the nature of handbag or roll. Upon
this bag, embroidered in large letters by
the misguided person from whom it was
a gift, was a motto Arrived at the
house. our friend insisted upon having a
seat as near the casket as was possible,
and that achieved she placed the brown
linen structure across her lap, then set
tied herself with sigh of satisfaction.
The letters upon the bag, held within a

The Color of Animals.

There is a connection between the
color and character Of animals AL
though much of the subject is veiled in
considerable obscurity, as general rule
it may be stated that vivid, oonspicu-
GUS coloring accompanies strength, cour-
age and often ferocity. The black or red
hair and the ruddy skin indicate carbon
or iron somewhat in excess, sanguine
temperament, rapidity of thought and
action and courage frequently bordering
on rashness. In the brute creation it is
rather character that has modified color
in the course Of the survival of the fit
test The timid animal, bird or fish pos
sessing the most neutral coloring lived
longest and left most offspring and SO
gradually the conspicuous members of
the family were eliminated. This neu-
tral coloring as well as color that
changes for protective purposes is the
external Characteristic of shyness and
timidity, alertness of sense, keenness of
vision and scent and swiftness rather
than strength of limb -Pittsburg Dis

THE CROCUS.

In sheltered corners and shady places
The wasting SHOWS of the winter lie,
But there is token OF coming roses
In the tender pink of the sunset sky.
Above the dusk of the windy forest
The young March moon is silvery cold.
Come, love, and lean on the gate beside me,
And will tell you legend old.
A jealous wizard with whitened trcsses
Beheld a maiden with yellow hair,
And seized her form in his frosty fingers,
And bore her far TO his icy lair.
He bound her fast in a sleep enchanted,
And hid her deep in a grave Of gloom,
Till over the purple seas came sailing
A slender prince, with pale green plume.
From the, withered grass and earth above
her
He brushed the wreaths of the snow aside
And slew the wizard, whose name was Win
ter,
And she rose from the tomb to be his bride.
Lookl There she stands by the broken trellis,
Where budding sprays of the ivy cling,
For the captive maid was the golden crocus;
Her gallant lover, the prince. is Spring.
-Minna Irving in Worthington's Magazine.
