al SAVAGE MARSUPIAL.
An Australian Mammal That Is a whole
Menagerie In Itself.

AIenagerie In Itself.
The so called zebra wolf of Australia
is also called the native tiger; but,
strange to say, it j. not even a cousin to
zebra, wolf Oh tiger, belonging to the
same family as the kangaroo, the slow
and gentle wombat and the sly old opos-
sum-all those animals that carry their
babies in their pockets.
The eyes. which are large, are furnish
ed with membrane, like The eyes Of
owls. and this is called the nictitatiDg
membrane. This is almost continually
moving in the daytime, as the eyes are
exposed to more or less of sunshine.
Without this membrane the amount of
light admitted through tile large pupil
would puzzle the zebra wolf
The general color Of the somewhat
short wooIly fur is grayish brown, little
inclined to yellowish. Across this ground
color the black bands show up sharp
and clear. These stripes are usually IA
in number, beginning just back Of the
shoulders, where they are narrowest,
and growing broader and longer back Of
the launches. The skins are in demand
for lap robes and rugs, which gives an
added reason for hunting the wearers.
Two zebra wolves were taken to the
geological gardens in London, where
they fourished and raised a family.
When they came, it was thought Great
Britain would be too cold for them,
but there seems to be no reason why
they should not thrive even in Canada,
az they have been known to live On the
mountains OF Tasmania, $500 feet
above the sea level, where the ground is
sometimes covered with snow for many
weeks and frosts are severe.
Do you wonder that his name is
slightly mixed? The marvel j. that he
is not named menagerie and done with
it, for with his doglike face and short
wolf ears. eyes like an owl, zebra stripes
and a pouch like kangaroo, bis mixed
pickle beastship could answer 70 almost
any name you might wish 70 call him.
When be becomes extinct. we can truly
say we ne'er shall see his like again

Poor M. Floquet is hardly cold III his
grave before posterity has set about
stripping him of his chief claims to
glory. Every body remembers that the
Radical politician S reputation was built
upon an incident which occurred in
1867. The Gar Alexander III, then on
visit to Napoleon III, had been shown
over the Palais de Justice, and was
stepping into his carriage, amid cheers,
kindly provided by his host, when some
body in the crowd shouted, ''Vive la
Pologne, monsieur' Floquet got the
credit of this audacious bit Of imperti
nence, and on the strength Of it secured
seat i'll the chamber. NJ. Jules Claretie
declares that he heard from Floquet
himself that the real author of the cry
was Gambetta, who generously allowed
his friend to profit by it, On the other
hand, NJ. Andrieux asserts that he in
vented the Gam betta legend to amuse
the readers of a provincial paper, and
that he did SO at Floquet's request.
But another curious piece Of evidence
has been brought forward. The czar
never heard the words at ALL but he
noticed the tumult to which they gave
rise and saw the mob gather round Il
figure in their midst. "What ON earth,
he exclaimed, "does that old priest
want?" Now neither Gambetta nor Flo
quet could possibly have looked like a
disheyeled ecclesiastic, but man who
was close spectator of the scene posi-
lively affirms NJ. Delattre, barrister
of very advanced views, to have been
the real simon pure. The car s descrip-
tion would apply to him, and the Ian
guage resembled his utterances in the
tribune. Here we must leave the ques-
tion. which affords, at all events. one
more proof Of the uncertainty of history.

The Hapier. Cutiass, saber, Yataghan,
scimiter and Claymore.
The rapier was id general use On the
continent s0m9 years before it made its
appearance iu England, where, it must
be said, it was received with scorn and
ridicule, as being much too effeminate a
weapon for any self respecting son Of
Mars to trine wirh The cavaliers Of
France, Spain and Italy, however, were
adopts in the intricate science of sword
play, and used it with fatal subtlety.
The cutlasS, which we read about in
Captain Marryaft's stirring tales, and
in the thrilling stories Of the exploits Of
pirates Oh tile Spanish Main, was short
and rather broad and fiat id The blade,
which had an exceedingly sharp double
edge The yataghau and scimiter bear
the evidence Of their oriental origin in
their curved blades, and suggest the an
cestry Of the saber. The saber il the
most important cutting implement Of
modern armies. 1t is distinguished from
the sword proper by the single edged
blade, which attains its greatest thick
ness at the back, and is grimly suggest
i've Of the dire effects of a swinging cav
airy charge. The schiavone-a notable
sword Of the Italian soldiery-carried a
conspicuous guard, extending from the
quillons to the pOmmel, formed Of
lattice work Of metal bands that resem-
bled the plating Of osiers in basket
This basket hilted sword, as it was call
ed, was SO closely allied to the clayInore
Of the Scotch Highlanders that they
have frequently been mistaken one for
the other
The glorious epoch of the sword, how
ever. was reached ia the sixteenth cen
tury. Great manual skill and a thorough
training il the arts were united in a
marked degree in the artisans Of this
period, and gave to the products Of the
industrial arts permanent value and
beauty. In the shops Of the metal work
ers this proficiency reached q rare excel
lence. War was the main occupation OF
kings, and civil and military pageants
were the favorite pastime of royalty
The armorers, consequently, were in
constant demand, and were untiring in
their efforts to produce costly, brilliant
arms and coats Of mail
Great artists devoted all the resources
of their genius to the enrichment of the
sword. No metal was too precious, no
jewel too rare, no fancy too ingenious
for its decoration. Hits We're incrusted
with gems, set with medallions, carved,
embossed, inlaid; scabbards Of Spanish
leather or Genoese velvet were wrought
with gold and silver embroidery blades
Of the finest steel were polished to
dazzling luster and engraved with in
scriptions and arabesques. Every artifice
that fertile imagination could devise
and cunning skill carry out was lavished
upon the decoration Of the beloved
weapon.-Mary Stuart Mckinney in st.

i'm Former Times They Were Badges OF
the Wearer's Profession.
Years ago the white tie in this conn
try was the characteristic wear Of the
reverend clergy their monopoly. Thence
it passed into general use and disputed
popularity with the black. The black
neckcloth was early in this century like
wise professional badge. Those who
followed the profession Of arms claimed
the right to wear it as their monopoly
and sometimes enforced that right.
Cooper III wing and Wing" makes a
very dramatic use of this custom. A
French privateer captain in disguise has
fallen into the hands Of the English and
is brought before eOurt martial So
skillfully does be stick to his assumed
character of fisherman that his judges
are puzzled until one Of his accusers
suddenly places around the prisoner s
throat the black neckcloth which all
officers wore Then his true character
blazes forth and he is condemned, but
escapes execution to die sword III hand.
Cooper knew what he was writing
about, for he, too, had been an officer.
Military and naval men wore black
cravats when in plain clothes, and civil
ians aped them until black became the
only wear. Before the rise of the black
cravat, carelessIy tied white lace, the
Steenkirk, had been in vogue for neck
wear. Its popularity likewise was ci-
william tribute to military valor. At the
battle of Steenkirk the French Royal
guards, the household troops, being
suddenly called from their tents to meet
the oncoming English, had no time to tie
their rich lace cravats with their accus-
toned neatness and loosely knotted them
about their tbroats. They were the dam
dies of Europe, the perfect pinks of
military propriety. and were correspond
ingly brave. They did up the English
in about one round, and thenceforward
the Steenkirk cravat was the fashion,
and the more carelessly it was knotted
the more Steenkirky it was.
AS white is now the color of peace,
may not the psychologist be justified in
hailing snowy cravats as evidences Of
mans recognition that peace hath her
victories not less fashionable than those
of war and as worthy of being com
memorated at the neck?-Boston Tran
