from the Earth.
No one eau read a book Of travel in
wild countries without having brought
forcibly before him the grave fact that
many of the most interesting forms on
this earth are on the brink of extermina-
ton.
The bison is practically gone as .
wild animal from North America. The
quagga is not now to be found in South
Afr The harmless and interesting ant
bear appears also to be going the way
of the mammoth and the mastodon.
The London Zoo cannot get giraffe
The price of animals in the market
has gone up to unprecedented figures
We carefully provide their native males
ties of Africa with repeating rifles to
accelerate the process of humiliation.
Travellers warn US that the dismal
slaughter proceeds with an ever accel-
Grated pace SO long Us animals can be
found to be killed.
The destruction apparently must soon
result in most of the larger wild ami
mails becoming as extinct as the dodo

HOW POI Is MADE.

Peculiar Dish Of the Hawaiians Mad
from n Species of Turnip.
Poi is dish that must long remain
peculiar to the Hawaiian islands-al-
ways. in fact, unless some means is
contrived for preserving taro SO that i,
will stand export. Poi is made from
taro, a root resembling the turnip. says
the San Francisco Call. 1t grows in
the water, with large, handsome
Grean leaf, and IL almost tasteless.
There is also an upland taro cultivated
in the mountains by the natives which
hes more decided taste, and which,
as learned to my cost on tasting it
raw, bites the throat like horse-radish.
The low taro is the chief vegetable in
the island, and in early days consti-
trted the natives principal crop.
When cooked 1t assumes n notified
gray and white appearance, yory like
the lava roal, that abou1ds everywhere
in She islands. The process Of manu-
featuring the poi is quite lengthy
one. great hole is dug in the ground.
and into this the tsro roots are placed
around piles Of hot stones. The earth
Is then heaped over the place and the
taro left to steam. When the taro is
thoroughly cooked, which is often sew
eral hours, the roots arc dug out again,
peeled and put into huge stone recep-
tacle, in which they arc pounded to a
pulp. This work is performed by the
men. 1t is an arduous task, and on a
hot day land nearly all days are hot in
the islands) the pounding of poi is a
scene over which it is advisable to
draw a veil. The poi FOUNDER not only
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow but mixes it as well largely by
the aid of that fluid.

The Ridden of Dreams.

A Lady who was fond of riddles
dreamed that she met another lady, a
stranger to her. Il shall not tell you
my name" said the strange lady, but
I'll put it like this; If / had tame
hare which escaped and you caught it,
and assed me if you might chain it up
that's my name" ''Letitia Harrop,"
answered the dreamer at once; "let /
tie hare up" There was no pause
for reflection in the dream, any more
than in another case. The dreamer,
walking with a friend, met an &C
quSintance of ovine appearance. who
saluted with curious duck. "What a
queer bowl" said the companion in the
dream "Sheep-dip," answered the
dreamer; a kind of pun which, per-
haps. nobody would have made when
awake. any more than he would have
solved the idiotic riddle of Letitia Hsr-
rop.

A STRANGE FRIENDSHIP.
Dickens Account OF a CobbIer's Low for
His Dog.


His Dog.
MY fathers love for dogs led him
into a strange friendship during our
stay at Boulogne," writes the IA
nous authors daughter in Ladies'
Home Journal. There lived in a cot
tage on the street which led from
our house to the town n cobbler who
used to sit at his window working all
day with bis dog-a Pomeranian-on
the table beside him. The cobbler, in
whom my father became very much in
terested because of the intelligence Of
his poodle, was taken i'll and for many
months was unable to work. My father
writes The cobbler has been Ill these
many months. The little dog sits at
the door SO unhappy and anxious to
help that every day expect to see him
beginning pair of top boots Another
time father writes in telling the history
OF this little animal: A cobblcr at
Boplogne, who had the incest of little
dogs that always sat in his sunny win
dow watching him at his work, asked
me IL | would bring the dog horne as he
couldn't afford to pay the tax for him.
The cobbler and the dog being both my
particular friends complied. The cob
bier parted with the dog heartbroken.
When the dog got home here my man,
like an idiot as he is, tied him up and
then united him. The moment the gate
was open, the dog ION the very day af-
ter his arrival) ran out. Next day

with mud, dead, outside the neighbor-
ing church. How am ever to tell the
cobbler? He is too poor to como to

for life. and say that the dog il fat and

WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION.
An Aged Italians Strange Renewa of
Youth.

Youth.
A most remarkable thing is reported
to have occurred at Naples in the year
1881. Antonio Lazzetti, beggar who
had formerly resided at Tareptum, but
who on account of are had been sent
to home for the aged at one of the
other places mentioned, experienced a
complete renewal of life. At the be-
ginning of the transformation he was
little less than ninety years of age.
The first thing noticed which sug-
gested that something extraordinary
was about to take place was in his
skin, which cracked and came off like
that of toad or snake, leaving a soft
new skin in place of the wrinkled
cuticle that had been worn for four
score years and half. Within sur
prisingly short time his haccid old
muscles became strong and plump.
The white hairs fell from HIS head and
were replaced by curly black hair,
similar to that which had SO delighted
the maidens seventy years before. His
eyesight also returned with all the
vigor of youth; his complexion seemed
fresh and rosy; in fact, he was new
man from the soles of his feet to the
crown of his head. lie lived sixty
years after this transformation, and
then died at the age of one hundred
and fifty.

AS Is known, the Pimus seldom leave

they meet, though last winter L COM
Pany If the Apache soldiers were

taught enough military discipline to
know that he must not resent the in
suits heaped upon him by the Indian
onloollers. but it must have been a hard
trial to his wild nature.
Years ago the Apaches and the Pimas
often settled their differences by single
combat or pitched battles, and there is
now one Pima living who killed six
Apaches in one day in single combat
near where the Sacaton agency is To-
Gated. The Pima used his ironwood
club, about two feet in length. and the
Apaches their spears and war clubs. 1t
is wonderful how skillful these Pimas
are in the use of their clubs, fencing
with them equal to the exhibition of q
French master of the foils.

Our custom Of ascribing human fac
ultics and modes CT thought is an invol-
rntary ard invariablc one when we are
dealing with the mental processes of
other beings. says DR. Louis Robinson
in Popular Science Monthly. Even
when we speak OF the supernatural the
same habit is manifest. and human pas
sions, emotions AID weaknesses are
constantly ascribed to beings presumed
TO be infinitely more remote from us in
power and knowledge than we are from
the dog. Thus we see in the not very
distant past roasted flesh and fruits
were thought by men to be acceptable
to the gods, doubtless because they
were pleasing TO the palates of the wor-
ihipers, who reasoned by analogy from
the known to the unknown. This should
teach us to bear in mind that there is,
affecting the dogs point of view, al
most undoubtedly such a thing as cyno-
morphism, and that he has his peculiar
and limited ideas of life and range of
mental vision, and therefore. perforce
makes his artificial surroundings square
with him. 1t has been said that man
stands to his dog in the position of
god. but when we consider that our
own conceptions of deity lead US to the
general idea of an enormously power
full and omniscient man, who loves,
hates, desires. rewards and Furnishes in
human-lile fashion. it involves no strain
of Imagination to conceive that from

elongated and abnormally cunning dog;

DIPLOMATS EXPENSES.
What Our Foreign Ministers Cost the
Government,

What Our Foreign Ministers Cost the
Government.
How pinched our diplomatic agents
are was well illustrated in Mr. LOWELL
time. A rich American. proud of his
country, and wishing to leave a monu.
ment to his liberality and patriotism,
decided to purchase a fitting legation
house in London for the American min.
lister, but Mr.. Lowell begged him not
to carry out his generous intention
during his term of Office, for the cost OF
maintaining such house would have
been nearly three times his salary.
Mr.. Lincoln has lived becomingly but
modestly during his tenure of the Eng.
lish mission, but he recently stated to
a friend that his annual expenditure
had been thirty-flve thousand dollars,
or just double his salary.
What the expenditure of an embassy
will be depends, according to Harpcr's
Weekly, on the means of the ambas-
sador, but if our ambassador to Lon.
don or to Paris were to be paid a salary
equal to that of the president. he would
not be able to do more than return the
official courtesies of the country to
which he was accredited, and of his
fellow-members of the corps.
All of this means that an American
ambassador who has no private fortune
will be unhappy, and unhappy men
cannot transact business. If present
pay is inadequate for ministers, It is
absurd for ambassadors, and yet con.
gress is not likely to increase salaries.
1t has sanctioned title authorized by
the constitution, but is unwilling to
pay for what the title calls. For sew
eral years the fact has been recognized
that only rich men, or at least men
who had something beyond their pay,
could afford to accept the London.
Paris or Berlin mission, Mr.. Lowell
and Mr.. Phelps being exceptions. The
raising of the grade to an ambassador
ship makes the obstacles to poor men
all the greater. An impecunious am
bassador would be ridiculous, and as
the increased rank is practically of no
benefit to the country, the sooner we
return to the old rank the better. The
country will be better represented by
a self-respecting minister than by an
ambassador who is the object of uni
versal commiseration because his
meager salary compels him to live in
lodgings.

WHEN THE verdict of history on the current congress is made up 1t will convict that body of being more nearly destitute of business brains than any of it's predecessors. There can be no doubt in the mind of any thinking man that the largest part of the business distress of the past year came of the want of confidence of the money con- trolling and business creating classes of this country in the, business policy of the Democratic party, and, along with this, the verdict will declare that that want of confidence was justified by the result. Nearly a year and half after they have had control of every branch of the government they are wasting the time and money of the people in black guarding each other, after having done absolutely nothing to redeem their pledges or to confess they were wrong in making them. As 8 lover of the whole country one cannot but grieve that the ordering of our affairs has fallen into such hands.

FOR AND AGAINST.

It is we'll to take as cheerful a view of things as possible, but the thing can be overdone. Contemplating the in- dustrial, commercial and financial mis- chief wrought since this administra- tion came into power, President Cleve- land professes to be very optimistic.
 Among other things he points to a large balance of trade in favor of the United States as one of the encourag- ing features of the situation. He says Last year up to June 1 the balance against us arising from the export an d import of merchandise, excluding gold and silver, was $64, ,046. The same balance in our favor for the same De- riod this year was 2,96O, ,562, repre- senting change in our favor of $127.. 512,6O9."
 Does not Mir. Cleveland know that a balance of trade may not always be a blessing? The simple truth of the matter is that there is large balance of trade in OUT favor for the reason that imports have greatly fallen off because foreign producers and home importers are waiting for lower duties under the new tariff law, but, meanwhile, ex- ports have not increased in like propor- tion, as the reader might infer from MT. Cleveland's language. s
 On the contrary, our total foreign trade, imports and exports, will be many millions less this year than last.
