A STRANGE CREATURE

The Mnnatee One of tho Most Peculiar
Animals Native to America.
OF all the large animals of the Ameri-
cnn continent, none is more remarkable
in form than the manntee.
Although this strange creature is of
goodly size. often reaching n weight OF
several hundred pounds, and sometimes
attaining length of 10 feet, yet VEN
ture to say that not more than one per-
son out of every 1000 in the United
States could now arise and correctly an
swer the question:: "What is n mana
tee?" Whenever You mention the name
of the creature to any one save n student
or quadrupeds, of surety you will
have that question to answer forthwith
The manatee is an animal that lives
exclusively in the water, and while it is
shaped somewhat like seal. it is very
far from being one. l mention the
seal by way of comparison solely be-
cause il is the only quadruped which
can be used. The heavy. baglike body,
short neck, blunt nose and round head
Of our harbor seal do indeed suggest
the form of the manatee; but there
the resemblance stops short.
Instead of having hind flippcrs like
seal, the body of the manatee ter
inmates in very broad and very fiat
tail. which forms an admirable pro-
pcller. Its front limbs are simply big,
fiat paddles, by no means so shapely
and useful as the front flippcrs of n
sea lion. 1t has no hair-or, at least,
none to speak of; n smooth, but very
thick and tough skin. small weak eyes
and blunt nose. Instead of having
teeth like seal, and feeding on fish,
it has only set of rather weak molars,
and lives solely on aquatic plants.
1t lives in the mouths and lower
reaches of rivers that flow into the sea

met young Frenchman, who, although
untitled, was of an excellent family and
a lieutenant of engineers in the French
army. They had loved each other at
first sight, and soon became engaged.
She had returned to America for the
season preceding their nuptials. He had
resigned his commission in the army
and become an engineer on the Panama
canal. There was long period of cor
respondence between them, followed by
a period of silence on his part-the con-
yentional precursor of an estrangement.
One day she received information that
he had become an embezzler. A year
later the news came that he had become
a swindler in South, American state.
Later, through the alleged kindness of
friends, she had learned of his contin-
ued degradation, until at last she heard
of him no more in any way. The aver
nge woman would have speedily forgot
ten such an experience. Not SO with
Laura wittemore. The men who be-
lieved that she was like the ordinary
,un of women (thcre were many such
men) and proposed, with the delightful
hope of winning q celebrated beauty

occasion, for the first time, the fiance
of her orphaned niece, Maud Buchanan,
young lady of beauty and wealth TO
whom Miss Wittemore had been, for
many years, mother. Although
Maud's fiance was count Count Kan
olky, young Frenchman of Polish an
cestry), there was but slight fiutter-
ing of the wings of society. For those
who were interested in counts had gone
abroad to seek them; and those OF Miss
Wittemore's set who remained had met
counts before and had found them to be
like all the rest of mankind, good and
bad--mostly dad.
There was large attendance ut the
garden party, however. There always
was ut any function given by Miss Wit
temore. She was an old maid. it is
true, but she was the sweetest, most
lovable and youngest old maid in all
Christendom. And, besides, there was
about her the atmosphere of that most
interesting thing, romance in real life.
Indeed, Miss Wittemore, in her day,
had been the belle of all America; she
had been, and still was, n very rich
most social circle of New York. She
was an old maid. Yes, she laughingly
acknowledged the fact herself. But
her friends considered her such more
because they thought she would event
ually become prim, old, unmarried
woman than because she was really so
very old. No one could have criticised
the pink of her complexion, the luster
of her hair or the brilliancy of her eyes;
and her figure, her bearing, her manner
were royal.
Old Col. Tom Appleton used to de-
clare that she had received an average
of proposal day for over ten years.
And there was probably some founda-
ton for the statement. The frank old
soldier was alleged to know more about
the rich girls of New York than all the
young club fellows in town put to-
gether. Having no daughter of his
own, he maintained that he had right
to be father confessor TO all of them.
But it was darkly limited that the col
onel based his statement more on his
intimate knowledge of the actions of
his friend and boon companion harley
Thornton, than on anything else. And
Charley was noted for but one thing
that was his lifelong devotion to Laura
Wittemore. But that is part of the ro-
nance.
The story is short and not so very
common. Laura Wittemore, when n
young girl, had spent several seasons
abroad. During a winter in Paris she

Origin OF the Loving Cup.

There is an inquiry as to the origin
of the loving cup from one who attend
ed the last dinner of the Clover club and
kissed the lips of the hospitable tank
ard as it circled the board. The best
account of its creation comes from the
late Lord Lyons, British ambassador at
Paris. According to his narrative King
Henry of Navarro (who was also
Henry Nv. of France) while hunting
became separated from his companions,
and, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for n cup of wine. The serving maid,
on handing it to him as he sat on horse
Some wine was split over, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that two-handlcd cup would prevent
n recurrence of this, so his majesty had
n two-handled cup made at the royal
potteries, and sent it to the inn. In
his next visit he called again for wine,
when, to his establishment, the maid
(having received instructions from her
mistress to be very careful of the kings
cup) presented it to him holding IL her
self by each of its handles. At once
the happy idea struck the king of a cup
with three handles, which was prompt
ly acted upon, as his majesty quantity
remarked: Surely, out of three
handles 1 shall be able to get one!"
Hence the loving cup. - Philadelphia
