Tie Adopted Hare.

An interesting experiment in the
rearing Of animals is recorded by q
German scientist. A country gentle
man having captured young hare q
few days ago, conceived the idea o1
giving it as foster mother cat which
had Just had litter OF kittens. The
cat showed no objection to this curious
addition to her family, and the herb.
ivorous nursing seemed to take very
we'll to the regime to which it was so
unexpectedly subjected.
The hare throve and grew, and the
cat soon thought it time to begin the
education of her foster child. For
the catching of mice, however, the
hare showed not the slightest disposi-
tion, and at each fault committed the
adaptive mother administered vigor-
Gus correction with her paws. This
produced but little improvement, and
the relations between the two animals
were becoming somewhat strained,
when one day they were placed to-
gether on the lawn in front of the
house.
The hare at once proceeded to
nibble at the vegetation with remark
able avidity, to the evident astonish-
ment of the cat, who could make
nothing of such conduct. Finally,
perceiving that she had nourished
anything but kitten, the disap-
pointed nurse withdrew with an ex-
preston of unmistakable disdain and
refused to touch the hare again. -

IdIosyncracies OF Fish.

Another example Of the idiosyn.
cracies and cleverness, OF fish was dis
cussed last night at the weekly meet
ing Of the Piscatorial Society in the
Holborn Restaurant. The leaping
powers of river fish formed the sub-
ject of debate, and instances were
given of the heights which salmon, as
we'll as the meaner kinds, are capable
of clearing. One gentleman mem
toned fish which once, when # was
pursued by yoracious pike, leaped
from the water to the bank, yhereit
remained for q considerable time
squintin g round bush watching its
enemy's movements. When if saw
the pike start away after another ylc-5
tim it still waited until it imagined
the foe to be considerable distances
on, when it quietly 3ropped itself into
the river again, and swan in an oppo-
site direction. This concluded the
debate, and without comment the
kettle was handed TO the narrator. ~

Floggeil for His Criticism.

It is net generally known that the
present Shah of Persia is not only a
prose writer of considerable merit, but
has also some pretensions to the cher
acter of a poet. Like the German
King, who, according to Carlyle, de-
clared himself to be above grammar,
so does the Persian monarch consider
himself above criticism; yet, like all
poets, he is glad to lend an ear to it
when it is favorable.
One day, however, having compile.
ted a poem " hich particularly delighted
him, he deigned to read it to one OF
the most prominent men of letters at
tached to his household. "What do
you think of itT' he asked. after read
ing his verses aloud. 81 do not alto
gether like the poem, was the candid
reply. "What an ass you are to say
sol" replied the offended sovereign,
and there was certainly much wisdom
in the royal words, for the misguided
critic was forthwith ordered to the
stables to be fogged.
A few days later the Shah, having
written another poem once more de.
sired to hear the opinion of the learned
scribe whom he had consulted before.
Hardly had he read a few lines of his
latest lucubration when the learned
man turned abruptly away and pre-
pared to run out of the room. "Where
are you going?" thuudered his ma
iesty, "Back to the stables, cried the
critic in desperation. So amused was
the King of Kings by this repartee
that he forgave the delinquent and
forebore to have him fogged second
time,-Philadelphia Times. ,

The Management of the Oregon
Railway &c Navigation Co.
Omaha, May 31-The following justi-
fication of the present management of
the Union Pacific was given out at
headquarters today, provoked by re-
cent press criticism in connection with
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company:
''The lease of the Oregon Navigation
company, with a guarantee of the
payment OF all fixed charges and per
cent dividend on s25, 900 capital
stock, was one of the combinations
which entered into the control of the
property by the Union Pacific. This
road had a mileage of about 900 miles
of rail lines and 5000 miles of water
lines, with thirty-one steamers and
river boats, which were not paying
operating expenses. Yet, in the face
of this fact, a steamer was built at a
cost of S250,O00, which, after compile
ton, proved to be worthless and was
laid up before one seasons service. and
this steamer mas been totally unfit for
any service since. A number of other
boats were condemned by the United
States inspectors, and for several
years past nave been rOtung in the
docks at Portland This property
never earned the dividend on the cap
ital stock referred to. Not content,
however, over the failure of the boat
line, the past management built

A BIG SUIT.
Pullman Co. Against the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul.

Pullman Co. Against the chicago,
Milwaukee & St Paul.
Chicago, May S1-The suit of the
Pullman Palace Car company against
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad for 100000 came UP before
Judge Seaman in the United States
court this morning.
In 1882, the two companies entered
into a fifteen-year contract, which the
road was privileged to end at the ex-
piration of five, eight 'or eleven years.
The railroad furnished 100000 and the
Pullman company 100000 for the
building and equipments of forty-five
parlor and sleeping cars, to be run on
the road. The Pullman company was
to take charge of the operation of the
cars and each year render an account
ing and make a division of the profits
according to the interests of each
The contract provided that at the
end of five, eight or eleven years, the
railroad could pay the Pullman COM
pany the sum of 100000, and become
sole owner of the cars and the service.
At the expiration Of the eight years,
in 1890, the railroad gave notice to the
Pullman company Of its intention to
buy out tAe latter
The Pullman company claimed S105,-
600 for their fourth interest and the
railroad insisted on deducting several
thousand dollars for damages to the
cars. This was not allowed and now
the Pullman company is suing for
500, 900 damages, the st. Paul road be-
ing willing to ompromise for one
fourteenth of that sum.
In addition to the suit now on trial,
there is one by the railroad company
against the Pullman pending on the
chancery docket asking for an order
compelling the Pullman company to
render an accounting for the expenses
of operation during the eight years
the contract was in force. The hear
ing of the case will probably take
week or more

Agent Eccles. of the Union Pacific, re-
turned home yesterday from Omaha
and st. Paul, where they have been
looking after the interests of the road

makes him more familiar with the
facts and the effect of the latest rul-
