mine is produced by a little animal called
the stoat in England. In winter he changes
his reddish brown skin to q white one.
Savage and bloodthirs;y IS this little crea-
ture. preying upOn everything that he can
overpower. His chief food consists OF par
tridges and rabbits, but many other small
animals are disposed Of in the same way.
The pine marten, n member Of the weasel
tribe, has 2 brown skin and a yellow
throat. Store martens have a blush
brown coat with white throat. They are
larger than the stoat and more destructive.
The otter is the king Of weascls. He can
whip anything of his weight in the world.
He is hunted with hounds In England
and can give six or seven dogs all they can
do 10 kill him. Like the mink, he IS very
fond of fish and waterfowl.

4 GLIMPSE OF MALAGA.
Its Commercial Prosperity-Gay Life Of
the Andaiusians.

In Malaga, says correspondent of the
Boston Herald, we saw more OF the pecul-
iarly gay life of Andalusia than we had
seen in Seville, where the unusually cold
weather had kept the people indoors. The
air was soft in Malaga. The blue sky was
reflected in the sunny sea. The architec-
ture of the city indicates. the mildncss Of
the climate. The facades of the houses
flower in balconies of light and graceful
character, and the patois, OF which we got
glimpses through the open doors, are dec
grated with palms and orange trees. In
the evening the whole population seems 10
be out, walking up and down the favored
promenades. Some OF the women are
quite pretty, and all are arch and voluble.
The human VICE is alv,eys apparent in

EARTHQUAKE IN PERSIA.
The Town of Kuchan Again Destroyed
with ] 7 IF iE,


With Large Loss of Life.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-The Times has a
dispatch from Teheran, the Capital of
Persia, stating that the town of kuchan,
in the province of Khoraan, which was
destroyed by an earthquake fourteen
months ago and which was subsequently
rebuilt, was again destroyed by an earth
quake shock on Thursday last. There
was, as on the previous occasion, great
loss of life. One hundred women who
were in a bathhouse were crushed to
death by the falling building. The
weather was intensely cold and this in
creases the sufferings of the survivors,
whose houses were destroyed. The dis
patch adds that four distinct shocks were
felt at Meshed within three days. None
OF these shocks, however, were of sutfi-
cient strength to do any damage.
kuchan lies at the foot of the Shah
Kahan kuh, mountain II, 200 feet high.
The town, which about eight miles north
west of Meshed, is $500 feet above the
sea level. 1t is, or was, an important
place, being on the route to Shirvan. The
population prior to the earthquake of
1898, which destroyed every house in the
place, was between &c, 900 and %, 600. The
official report of the disaster places the
number of persons killed at Il, 900. Fifty
thousand head of cattle has persisted in
the valley at the head of which Kuchan
is situated. From November 7th to the
9th there were l27 distinct shocks. 1t
was the first shock that destroyed the
town.

GOVERNOR BUDD.
What He Has to say About the Police

COmmiS iSsionership.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O.-"There is no
more reason why man should hold the
office Of Police Commissioner for seven
teen years that that he should be Gov
ernor for lifetime" The speaker was
James II. Budd, Governor Of California.
He spent all day in this city, and returns
early tomorrow morning to Sacramento.
He was in consultation with leaders of
the Democratic party, with GAVIN Nc
Nab and Stewart NIenZies day, and his
hours OF leisure were few.
wv hat do l propose to do? Well, | am
not prepared TO say, but 1 may state
positively that should Messrs. Alvord
and Tobin be removed from office
through the expiration of their terms, or
by other means, or should vacancies
occur IN the commission by death, the
men appointed to succeed them will be
l.. Il. Ellert and James V. Coleman.
Whether the terms of Office of Messrs
Alvord and Tobiu have expired, or
whether vacancies would be caused on
other grounds, L do not wish to say at
present"
The Governor was asked what course
would be pursued by his recent ap-
pointee. Stewart Menzies. "He will ask
Commission tomorrow in place of Mr.
Gunst, and if he is not permitted to do SO
he will at once commence suit, and the
correct status of the case will be speedily
