1t will be readily believed that the mental and
moral atmosphere in which these rigid folks

THiBETAN ANIMALS.
Marco Polo's Description of the Yak and
the Musk Deer.

the Musk Deer.
There are wild cattle in that country,
almost as big as elephants, splendid,
creatures, covered everywhere but on
the back with shaggy hair good four.
palms long. They are partly black.
partly white, and really wonderfully
fine creatures, and the hair or wool is
extremely fine and white, finer and,
whittier than silk. Messer Marco brought
some to Venice as great curiosity, and
SO it was reckoned by those who saw:
it. There are also plenty of them tame,
which have been caught young. These
the people use commonly for burden
and general work, and in the pillow as
well; and at the latter they will do full
twice as much work as any other cattle,
being such very strong beasts.
In this country, too, is found the best
musk in the world; and I will tell you
how it is produced. There exists in
that region kind Of wild animal like
a gazelle. It has feet and tail like the
gazelle's, and stag's hair Of a very
coarse kind, but no horns. It has four
tusks, two below, and two above, about
three inches long, and slender in form,
one pair growing upward, and the other
downward. It is very pretty creature.
The musk is found in this way. When
the creature has been taken, they find
between the flesh and the skin some
thing like an imposthume full of blood,
which they cut out and remove with all
the skin attached to it. And the blood
inside this imposthume is the musk that
produces that powerful perfume. There
is an immense number of these beasts
in the country we are speaking of. The
flesh is very good to eat. Messer Marco
brought the dried head and feet of one
of these animals to Venice with him.
The people are traders and artisans,
and also grow abundance of corn. The
province has an extent of 26 days
journey. Pheasants are found twice
as big as ours, indeed nearly as big as a
peacock, and having tails of seven to
ten palms in length; and besides them
other pheasants in aspect like our own,
and birds of many other kinds, and of
beautiful variegated plumage. The peo-
pie, who are idolators, are fat folks
with little noses and black hair, and no
beard, except a few hairs on the upper
lip. The women too have very smooth
and white skins, and in every respect
are pretty creatures.-Noah Brooks, in
St, Nicholas.

IN THE SHADOW.

We walk within the shadow. and we feel
it's thickcning fold
That wraps us round and holds us close, a
cloak against the cold:
The day is growing somber, and the joyous
light has fed,
And beneath our feet the road is rough and
clouds are overhead.
We sit within the shadow, and in that ST.
lence dumb.
To us in SOftened echoes remembered
voices come; r =,
Dear eyes that closed in slu1nber once, dear
hands that Strengthened lie,
Awaken tender warnings as the day wanes
slowly by.
We rest within the shadow, though the
hurrying people go
On errands swift for gold and gain. be-
yond us, to and fro:
We have no care for transient things; we
wish no more to strive
As once we did; we rest. we dream, we feel
but half alive.
Our resting and our waiting, and our plod-
ding on the way,
With the sunshine of the past casting
darkness on to-day,
With no caring for the future, while the
heartache holds us fast, -
With no thought for any plea sure-ah! it's
we'll these cannot last.
For the shadow always lifts, and the sun
light gloWs again:
There sudden CLEANS Of brightness,
sweet clear shining after rain;
And we grid ourselves for action, strength
ened we arise and so
From the sanctuary outward, where the
feet tramp to and fro.
Life must have it's sometime sorrow, but
the years that drift along
Touch the minor chords but seldom; there
spaces blithe with song.
Sometimes we must face the shadow,
where the wind blows keen and cold,
But the shadow fades at dawnng, and the
east is t1ecked with gold.

with his duck gun laid across his knees,
was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
"The note said 1O:3O," he nluttered.
1t must be after that time now. What's
that?"
Phineas had caught the sound Of
heavy feet moving cautiously over the
gravel. He grasped his gun and peered
into the gloom, but could distinguish
nothing.
Suddenly he heard voices, evidently
at the front of the house. He was about
to quit his position, under the impress
sion that Herr Schmidt was leaving by
the front door, after all, when one of
the back windows was cautiously raised
and the 1.-the form Of the naturalist
dropped lightly to the ground
Creeping along the side of the wall
on which Phineas lay, he presented an
excellent mark. Mr.. Peel, however,
could not bring himself to shoot man
down in cold blood. He would give
him a chance.
"Stop, you scoundrel!" he shouted.
The effect of the challenge was
scarcely what Phineas had anticipated.
Herr Schmidt darted forward and
seized the barrel of the gun.
He was much the stronger of the two,
and Phineas was pulled from the wall
in twinkling. Lying on the broad OF
his back on the gravel in half-dazed
condition, he saw the tall form Of
Schmidt standing over him with tho
gun raised.

ing attitude of the other induced hins
to rise. However, he had no intention
of giving in.
Obeying his instructions, he caught
hold of Schnlidt'si foot to give him "a
leg up" Before the naturalist could
grip the top OF the wall, however, Phin-
cas- saw his opportunity.
Bracing himself for the effort, he
exerted all his strength and pulled
Schmidt bodily from the wall. He fell
fiat on his face, and before he could re-
cover himself Phineas jumped on his
lack and seized him around the throat,
emitting yell that would have done
credit to Sioux Indian.
The next moment Phineas was
dragged off from behind and found him,
self in the clutches of a burly member
of the local police force.
-Four or five others seized Schmidt,
who struggled in vain to free himself.
"What am I arrested for?" gasped
Phineas. There's your mani"
Phineas would no doubt have been
led off with the other prisoner but for
the timely arrival on the scene of the
last person in the world he had ex-
pected to see-his brother John!
"Here, what on earth is the meaning
of all this?" he demanded, when, as
the result of John Peel's interference,
he found himself free.
John stayed behind minute or two
