CLOSING QUOTATIONS.
How to Beat the Wheel.

Captain Clyde is an Englishman who
lives at Monte Carlo. He recently lost
$4,000 francs, and as his language against
the croupiers was rather violent his
ticket of admission was also taken from
him. The next day, however, he ap-
peared with revolver in each hand.
Away !" he cried to the officials at the
entrance. They fled. On entering the
rooms. the same scene. He played with
considerable luck, when an inspector
begged him to leave the building. The
Captain threw him into The corner of the
room. You blackguards," he said, you
have taken my money and now you
want to prevent my winning it back"
The Captain was given 10000 francs and
retired with his revolvers.-EXchang

ACTION OF THE RAIN.
The Wonderful Factor 1t Is In the Disin-
tegra.ion of Rocks.


The rain falling on tho rocks sinks in
to every crack AID crevice, carrying
with it into these assures surface maize
rial which has been degraded by the
weather, and thus affordins matrix
sufficient to start the growth Of vegesa-
ton and afterward to .maintain the
plants. TIE fibers and roots of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought
into life, growing and expanding, act
as wedges to split up the surface of the
rock and to commence the process of
wearing away. From this quality of de-
struetion Il large class of plants derive
the name OF saxifrages, or rock break
ers, from their roots penetrating into the
minute assures in search Of water, and
SO assisting in the process of disintegra-
tion. In winter the water collected III
the hollows and crevices becomes froz-
ell, and expanding as it changes into
ice acts like charge CT blasting mate
rial i'll breaking up the rock. The pieces
thus detached become further disinte-
gated by frost and weather, and, being
rolled over and o-er and rubbed against
each other as they are carried away
down the mountain torrents, are ground
gradually smaller and smaller, till from
fragments of rock they become bowlers,
then pebbles and finally sand. As the
mountain stream nerges into the river
the pebbles and coarse sand continue to
be rolled along tie bottom of the chan
mel, while the ragillaeeous particles aud
salts become mingled with the water
and flow on with it either in suspension
or solution.
While this disintegrating process is
going on inland the rocks and cliffs on
the coast exposed to the sea are suffer-
ing degradation by similar process and
are also being Worn away by the ilces-
SAINT action of the waves OF the ocean
beating On them and attacking them,
not only with the impact Of the water,
but also with the fragments broken off,
which, dashed against the face from
which they have been ereded, are thus
used as implements of destruction.

1t Is Large and Continuous and Appar-
emily Conducted Under Difficulties.
The traffic III 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 in dark blue jelabs and skullcaps,
sometimes his progress is stopped by
burly negro slave, all in white or faded
yellow, bearing on his head a tray CT
bread from the public bakehouse; some
times he IS swept into miry corner by
half dozen OF the sultan's cavalry,
whose richly caparisoned steeds, flow
ing robes, flintlocks 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 Gu each side by men of color,
who alarm the neighborhood with shouts
Of 'balak. -
The most interesting sight in Tangier
at least, from an artistic point of view
lis the sok, or large market place for
country products. 1t lies Immediately
outside the wall in the upper part Of
the town and is approached through
the old slave market, now converted
into shoeing forge. In the forenoon it
is too crowded to be interesting, but i'll
the afternoon, when business has some
what slackened, scenes of varied inter-
est may be observed.
Yonder is water carrier, with large
goatskin bag slung over his shoulder,
attracting your attention with the tin
kle Of bell 10 the refreshing draft
he offers. Here is gaunt Arab from
the Riff mountains, bareheaded, blank
ct draped aud flashing eyed, interview
ing with fierce and threatening gestures

Near them is a country woman seated
behind a small semieircle of milk Jars.
Her shriveled, vermont 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 cURloslTlEs.


Tree Climbing rabbits, Sheep Eating Par
rots and Sheep That Love Snails.
1t seems almost stretch Of the i'm
agination to think Of rabbits climbing
trees. Yet in 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 a 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 parrot to eat sheep is another
remarkable thing, aud yet the kea of
New Zealand has become a sheep eater,
having changed to this article Of food
from purely vegetable diet. The kea
has proved serious source of annoy
ance to the New Zealand herds1nen, ard
methods have been taken fer the destruc-
ton of the species. These gay colored
little birds will eat almost any kind of
meat, bat 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 in desperation they invad-
cd the drying rooms and atewhatey-
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. III England sheep are known
who delight in snails. The oil sryation
of this fact is not new; it dates back
$50 years
1t is well known that large number
of insectivorous birds become grain eat
ers whenever they find that they cannot
procure their ordinary diet of insects. =

Interesting Speculation as to Its Probable
character.
The electrical carriage, or horseless
vehicle, promises to become fad in
Gotham and may eventually supersede
the bicycle in popular favor. The horse
less vehicle and the bicycle viii probably
sooner or later be manufactured as a
sort OF composite carriage, to carry any
where from one to dozen persons.
When horses are dispensed with, it will
no longer be necessary to have the ve-
hicles high enough to enable the rider to
overlook the animal, and this will pro-
duce change as radical as that from
the old high wheeled bike to the safety
The carriage of the future will probably
be so low that one may step into it from
the street with perfect ease, and the
danger of Icing thrown out from run
away or collision will be reduced to
minimum. The carriage will Of course
have low wheels and elastic tires.
For light vehicles the pneumatic tire
may be used, while for rougher and
heavier work some strong cushion tire
will be more serviceable. Then he dash

driver from the mud thrown up by tho
horses feet, as we'll as from the kicks
of the animals, will no longer be need

splash or kick. The aim, as in the bicy.
