ANIMALS IN HOT WEATHER.

Few Members of the Brute Creation Can

DAYS a red deer hind took possession
of an islet in Penn pond, in Richmond
park, swimming there and back and
spending the greater part of the morn

damp islet. Sheep do not suffer from
the highest temperature of the English
climate if shorn and left quiet, witt
plenty of water. Bat any driving OF
travelling causes them the utmost dis

of Miss Nellie Ross, of Fruit Vale, Cal,
says the New York World. Three
months ago she demonstrated their
practicability, and since then has
proved, as she claims, that they fly
higher than any other kites ever made
On the Pacific coast. A recent visitor
to what Miss Rose calls her "kitery"
saw simply a very clean and neatly
whitewashed back yard. Against some
deserted henroosts leaned some queer
cloth and bamboo objects that looked
like fattened balloons with the ends
knocked out. The largest were five feet
high by four feet broad, and they were
of all colors. The string used in flying
them is about two miles long.
The young kite-fyer. who holds that
every woman should have a hobby and
who thoroughly enjoys hers, makes all
her own kites. Then she flies nine or
ten at once, to the great ediflcation of
the surrounding neighborhood and to
the delight of the small boys, who are
always willing to help haul them in.

Ashamed of 1t.
The evidence the witness had given
had been very strong against the law

he was trying his best to break the
testimony or throw discredit on the wit

the man ignored his efforts, and in an
easy, self-contained way stuck to his
story. He had tried cross-questioning
him, but with nc better success, and
he was on the point of giving up wher
a chance remark caught his ear and
riveted his courage.

Queer Arrangements Seen in Other Parta
of the World.
Until quite recently the postal system
in Persia was very loosely conducted
1t was under the superintendent of d
minister of posts, who, however, does
not work the system himself. Each
road is farmed to some merchant or
wealthy person, who pays certain sum
to the minister for the privilege, and
makes as much money out of the bust
ness as he can.
On the south coast of Patagonia is the
most remarkable postal service in the
world. Close to the post Is large sign
post with the inscription: Post Office"
Attached by chains to the foot of the
sign post is a strong chest, which has
served as post office, master, clerk, all
in one, for many years. The ships pass
ing through the Magellan straits send
a boat to the shore to fetch any letters
that may be addressed to their places of
call, and at the same time to leave any
letters they may wish to have taken in
other directions.
In a small group OF islands on the
south coast of Iceland the islanders have
a bottle post, which depends mainly on
the wind. When the wind blows from
the south they put their letters into "a
well-corked bottle. To insure delivery,
a plug of tobacco or a cigar Is put in
side, and people on the mainland are
usually on the lookout for and ready to
deliver the letters so dispatched, in re-
turn for the inclosed remuneration.
