A zOOLOGICAL Jungle.

A wild animal stock farm in semi
tropical Florida is the scheme that a
circus firm is talking of starting. The
land. a plot about six miles square, has
been surveyed. it is said, and the firm
proposes 10 go ahead next fall and turn
the circus animals out to jungle, in
stead of going into winter quarters. The
circus men claim that not only can
they in this way provide themselves
with wild animals, instead of being
obliged to go to Africa and India for
specimens, but in addition they expect
to be able to supply animals for the
geological exhibits of the country.
The firm claims to have secured an
option on a tract of land in the extreme
southern part of Florida, about one
half Of it the thickest. densest swamp
Jungle possible TO imagine. An old
traveller in India and Africa, who was
sent there 10 look the ground over, says
that it compares favOrably with any
Jungle he has ever seen in the Orient.
The entire section of the land will be
divided by solid walls of strong iron
fencing. 50 as to keep animals that will
not affiliate separated. 1t is proposed
to first lay a strong foundation, then
build a low wall of brick some three or
four feet high. and then imbed in this
to a height of u feet more strong
iron fence. The idea is to turn the
beasts loose in their respective enclo-
sures. and let them follow their natu-
raj inclinatiOns and habits just as they
would in their native jungle. As the
animals to be prOpagated are principally
of the carniv0rous family there viii
also be bred such smaller animals as
they naturally prey upon for food. Spe-
cial attention Will also be given 10 the
breeding of giraffe, camels. zebras,
Quaggas and other members OF the
herbivOrouS family.
In order to protect their preserves a
concrete walk will be laid just outside

THE STORY AT GRAY GABLES.

In the dead of the night by the calm
moonlight
a stork came creeping along the shore;
His legs We're long. and bony and strong,
And a bundle small In his heak he bore.
AT the top of the house, as still as
mouse.
A lady fair in a chamber lay;
She waited with patience the long day
through
Till the long-legged stork should come
A big man walked in the garden, and
To himself of the cares of a nation
grand;
Yet he knew that the stork. not far away,
Was silently creeping along the land
At half-past four by the garden door
The stork came sOlemnly marching IN;
II placed its bundle gently down,
And exc il waggled its weary chin.
ooh, rest thee, stork,' Quoth the big, tat
man,
"A moment or more while you wish me
joy;
And tell me whether YOU bring this eve
little girl or a little bOy?'
"The stork Is ony a bird of fate,
IL only does what it's told 10 do;
And what's in that bundle l bring this eve

And deals to men blessing or curse,

The Boston Servant Judged by the Baked

'' "uiseu Dy the Baked

case OF domestic named Hannah who
went to live with a family who had
moved TO New England from the West

About the same that we cat on any

Hannah departed for the kitchen,
muttering something under her breath,
and an hour or two later the mistress
chanched to overhear the following con-
versatiOn between Hannah and friend
who had called to see her:

were held at bay for NEARLY a month by
a body Of Black Flags, reinforced by
Chinese troops from Yun-nan.
Anent this subject a curious story
about the situation in Formosa comes
from Japan. 1t is published in one of
the japanese native newspapers, and
while it may not be true, TT affords a
curious illustration Of the chaotic con-
dltiOn of affairs in the Island. 1t IS
said that the defiant attitude of the peO-
Pile Of F0rmosa is almost wholly due TO
the Influence Of
A LOCAL MAGNATE
named Lin, a Chinese subject. It seems
that this gentlemaa has very large vest
ed interests in FOrmosa, and CORE
spOndingly important ones in his ma
tive country. The cession of Formosa
to Japan has placed him in a serious
dilemma. He cannot hold his land in
FOrmOSa unless he becomes a Japanese
subject. This he does not wish to do,
because then he could not own land in
China. Divided between these conflict
ing interests he has endeavOred to eff
feet a compromise by which he may be
made an exception TO the general rule
as regards the inhabitants Of FormOsa.
1t is even stated, although this should
be taken very decidedly cum granO)
that his case was made the subject of d
representation by the Chinese to the
Japanese plenfp0tentaries during the
recent peace negotiations. However
that may have been. Mr.. Lin is report
ed to have come TO the conclusion that
his only recourse was revolt against the
new order of things. He has endeav-
ored therefore, to establish a republic,
and has been the prime mover in the
FOTmOsa revolt against Japan's author
ity. The Black Flags are said to be in
his employ, and it is added that he has
gathered quite a body of malcOntents
under
HIS BANNER OF REVOLT.
The Japanese journalist who tells the
story does not, however, apprehend any
very serious consequences from this Gu
riOus case of what might be called pri-
identity thinks that the situation has its
vate rebellions. On the contrary, he ev-
identity thinks that the situation has its
compensati0ns, for he naively con-
cludes his narrative with the statement
that this resistance may cost Japan a
few lives and some money, but it will
remove the troublesome question OF the
disposal of Lin's property and serve as
a means Of Kidding the island Of undo
sirable characters.

the first indications Of the new land on

that her face is not familiar in the

nor is she frequent dinner guest at
the great fashionable functions of the

lack of invitations. Her breakfast plate

Queer, isn't it, that this enormously
wealthy young woman should deprive
herself of the pleasure of an opera box

and then does all she can to keep envy

This was the celebrated DR.. Armitage's

good friend of John d. Rockefeller, and
because this Baptist church is within

does their mother. Mrs. Rockefeller's
class is a Bible class Of forty young
