What Victoria Gould Do.

AS Il matter of fact, our sovereiens
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. Tho queen
cuuld dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
our army, from tho commander in chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband the navy in the same way,
and sell al our ships, stores and arse
nails to the first customer that came
along. Acting entirely OH her OWN re-
sponsiblity, she could declare war
against amy foreign country, or mako a
present 10 any foreign power of any
part Of the empire. She could make ev-
cry man, woman and child i'll the coun-
try Il peer of the realm, with tho right,
in the case of males who arc of age, to
a seat III the house Of lords.
With Il single word she could dismiss
any government that happened to be i'll
power, and could, it is believed, pardon
and lhoyatc al the criminals III our
jails. These are few of the things the
queen could do if she liked but it is
not necessary 20 say that her majesty
never acts III matters Of state except OH
the ady!ce. of the government for the
time being. London Titl3its.

ANIMAL CURlOSITlES.
Tree Climbing Rabbits, Sheep Eating Par

Tree Climbing Rabbits, Sheep Eating Par
rots and Sheep That Love SnaiIs.
1t seems almost Il stretch of the i'm
aglnation 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 q rabbit that had been killed OH
al acacia, three yards from the ground,
and he wrote in his letter that this was
not ut all Il remarkable thing, and lie
had often found Them or ut least the
traces of their claws, on the bark of
trees four, five ana six yards high
For parrot to eat sheep is another
remarkable thing, and yet the ken of
New Zealand has become sheep eater,
having changed TO this article Of food
from purely vegetable diet. The kca
has proved serious source of annoy
ance to the New Zealand hcrtlsmen, and
methods have been taken for the destruc-
ton Of the species. These gay colorcd
little birds Will cat almost any kind of
meat, but it is sheep that they prefer.
They have been known TO kill rs
many as 200 i'll = single night and havo
dOr9 serious harm to the llocks Tho
tradition Of the island is that ut one
tinlc these parrots We're unable to OBJ
tain their usual supply of vegetable
food and that III desperation they invad-
ca the drying rooms and ate whatov-
CT came to hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable. IN Iceland almost all tho
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish is
plentiful. Iii England sheep are known
who delight in snails. The observation
of this fact is not new it dates back
$50 years.
1t is well known that largo number
of inscctivorous birds become grain cat
ers whenever they find that they cannot
procure their ordinary diet of insects. =
