What Victoria Could Do.

AS a matter of fact, our sovereigns
have rarely taken any active part in
politics since George Ills time, but
they could still do some very astonish-
ing things if they chose. The queen
could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
our army, from the commander i'll chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband the navy i'll the same way,
and sell all our ships, stores and arse
nails to the first customer that came
along. Acting entirely on her own re-
sponsibility, she could declare war
against any foreign country, or make a
present to any foreign power of any
part of the empire. She could make ev-
cry man, woman and child in the coun-
try peer of the realm, with the right,
in the case of males who are of age, to
seat in the house Of lords
With 4 single word she could dismiss
any government that happened to be i'll
power, and could, it is believed, pardon
and liberate all the criminals in our
jails. These are few of the things the
queen could do if she liked, but it is
not necessary to say that her majesty
never acts in matters of state except on
the advice of the government for the
time being. London Tit-Bits.

They Are the Greatest Curiosities Among
Ceyl"".e Domesticated Animals.
One Of the greatest curiosties among
tile domesticated animals Of CeylOn is
a breed Of cattle known to the biologists
as the ''sacred running oxen" They
are the dwarfs Of the whole OK family,
the largest specimens Of the species new
er exceeding 30 inches, or - feet in
height. One sent to the Marquis of Can
terbury i'll the year 1891, and which is
still living and believed to be some
where near 10 years of age, is only 20
inches high and weights but 100 .
pounds. III Ceylon they are used for
making quick trips across the country
with express matter and other light
loads, and it is said that four of them
can pull driver of a two wheeled cart
and 200 pound load Of miscellaneous
matter 60 to 10 miles a day. They keep
up constant swinging uot or run and
have been known to travel 100 miles in
a day and night without either feed or
water. No one knows anything concern
ing the origin of this peculiar breed of
miniature cattle. They have been known
on the island of Ceylon ard in other
Buddhistic countries for more than q
thousand years. Ono story told to ac-
count for their origin is to the offcct
that they We're originally cattle Of tho
ordinary height and bulk; that a Bud
dhistic priest was once imprisoned in a
stone building, one-half Of which was
used for cattle stable. During the
night he managed to dislodge one Of the
stones in his prison wall The stone in
question was exactly ~ feet square.
1t was almost daylight when this
apostle Of Buddha felt the air rush
through the opening no had made and
realized that he was all but free. He
knew that he would be unable to get
out Of the enemy's country on foot, SO
he prayed shat he might be provided
with beast Of burden that would safely
carry him to the homes Of the followers
Of Buddha. No sooner had he done this
than one OF the large oxen which had
been quietly feeding in a stall at his side
walked leisurely to the 80 inch square
opening and miraculously passed
through it.
The priest followed and mounted the
now sacred!y dwarfed beast and was
soon safe in his own country. Since
that time, 50 the story goes, there has
beon breed of sacred running oxen"

pass through an opening the size Of

TRAFFIC IN TANGIER.
It Is Large and Continuous and Appar-
emily Conducted Under Difficulties.

1t Is Large and Continuous and Appar-
emily Conducted Under Difficulties.
The traffic in Tangier is large and.
continuous. There is no footpath proper,
and the foot passenger has often to pick
his way among heavily laden donkeys
and camels. Sometimes he is jostled by
Jews i'll dark blue jelabs and skullcaps,
the distinctive badges of their race;
sometimes his progress is stopped by
burly negro slave, all i'll white or faded
yellow, bearing on his head tray of
bread from the public bakehouse; some
times he is swept into a miry corner by
half a dozen of the sultan's cavalry,
whose richly caparisoned steeds, flow
ing robes, flintlCcks or spears, make up
altogether an imposing spectacle. Per-
haps also he may find himself confront
ed by huge packing case borne down
the street on the back of donkey and
supported on each side by men of color,
who alarm the eighborhood with shouts
of "balak -
The most interesting sight in Tangier
at least, from an artistic point of view
is the sok, Or large market place for
outside the wall i'll the upper part of
the town and is approached through
the old slave market, now converted
into shooting forge. In the forenoon it
is too crowded to be interesting, but in
the afternoon, when business has some
what slackened, scenes of varied inter-
est may be observed.
Yonder is IA water carrier, with large
goatskin bag slung over his shoulder,
attracting your attention with the tin

he offers. Here is gaunt Arab from
the Riff mountains, bareheaded, blank
ct draped and flashing eyed, interview
ing with fierce and threatening gestures
an obdurate looking Jew, who is evil

Near them is a country woman seated
behind Il small semicircle Of milk jars.
Her shriveled, wornout features can
be discerned through the folds of her
coarse haik which she holds carelessly
together with her left hand, while with
her right she lifts the lid from one Of
the jars.-Good Words.

ANIMAL CURIOSlTlES.
Tree Climbing Rabbits, Sheep Eating Pal
rots and Sheep That Love Snails.


rots and Sheep That Love Snails.
It seems almost stretch of the i'm
agination to think of rabbits climbing
trees. Yet i'll Australia many rabbits
have somehow acquired the tree climb
ing habit, having been forced, ON ac-
count of the prosecutions of dogs and
other animals, to drop burrowing and
initiate squirrels. An Australian sent
on to England recently the two front
feet of rabbit that had been killed on
an acacia, three yards from the ground,
and he wrote in his letter that this was
not at all remarkable thing, and he
had often found them, or at least the
traces of their claws, on the bark of
trees four, five and six yards high.
For a parrot to eat sheep is another
remarkable thing, and yet the kea of
New Zealand has become a sheep eater,
having changed to this article of food
from a purely vegetable diet. The kea
has proved Il serious source of annoy
ance to the New Zealand herdsmen, and
methods have been taken for the destruc-
ton of the species. These gay colored
meat, but it is sheep that they prefer.
They have been known to kill as
many as 200 in a single night and have
done serious harm to the flocks. The
tradition of the island is that at one
time these parrots were unable to OBJ
tain their usual supply of vegetable
food and that i'll desperation they invad-
ed the "dry;ng rooms" and ate whatev-
er came to hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable. In Iceland almost all the
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish is
plentiful. In England sheep are known
who delight in snails. The observation
of this fact is not new; it dates back
$50 years.
1t is we'll known that largo number
of insectivorous birds become grain cat
ers whenever they find that they cannot
procure their ordinary diet of insects

Old Worll Chrisimas Provnrlls.

Every one in America knows the old
world prcverb, "a green Christmas
makes fat graveyard" but few others
of the old world Christmas saws are cur
rent here. Some of these saws are eX-
ceedingly interesting and not less in
structive as showing the changes that
time and location have made in the
proverbs of the country people. Here are
few:
"a warm Christians, q cold Easter "
ga light Christmas, heavy sheaf. "
GA green Christmas, white Easter -
eff there is a wind on Christmas day,
trees will bear much fruit. -
IF ice Will bear man before Christ
mas, it will not afterward.
1.-THE shepherd would rather see his
wife enter the stable on Christmas day
than to see the sun shine in at the stable
door,
eff the sun shines through the apple
tree on Christmas day, there will be an
abundant crop the following year"
The meaning of all these is clear
enough, but there is one that is not SO
clear:
eff Christmas finds a bridge, he II
break it, if he finds none, he Il make
one. -

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is said to have rebuked Secretary Morton for talking so much upon the currency ques tion. The president wants his Cabinet to under stand that he will do the talking for this administration, and that ii any ex- plantations are necessary he will make them. He does not propose to be un- der obligations to the secretary of agri- culture for definition of "sound money" Secretary Morton is con- tinually in hot water. The Changers in the west have attacked him, the beef men have objected to some of his state ments, the irrigation folk have told him to mind his own business. and now the president tells his secretary that he will do his own explaining.

Mali in the Navy,

One of the difficulties in the ward room of a cruising man-of-war is to have newspapers and periodicals fol- low the ship promptly from place to place. Such things are subscribed for with the understanding that the ad- dress shall be changed in accordance with schedule furnished to the pub fishers, but it sometimes happens that the itinerary is changed, and the whole scheme falls into confusion. Then the accommodating stock of periodicals is forwarded in chase of the ship, and it sometimes happens that, mail matter for cruising vessel finally reaches it's destination completely covered with the forwarding orders of different post of fees,
