On the farm of Amos NJ. Collins, neal

bliss a most curiously assorted family
presided over by a demure house cat
Several weeks ago Tabby gave birth to

course of events, grew apace. When old
enough to get about they went on a

kittens was aroused and they soon
made friends with the squirrels. Their
overtures were received in the same

enjoyed frolic. When it finally be-
came dusk the cat took one of the

to the farm. returning for the other

are now safely housed with the kittens,

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

the beSr.
There are wild cattle in that country
almost as big as elephants, splendid
creatures, covered everywhere but on
the back with shaggy hair a 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 a 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
we'll; 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 1 will tell you
how it is produced. There exists in
that region a kind of wild animal like
gazelle. 1t has feet and tail like the
gazelle's, and stays hair of a very
coarse kind, but no horns. 1t has four
tusks, two below, and two above, about
three inches long, and slender in form,
one pair growing upward, and the other
downward. 1t 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 20 days
Journey. Pheasants are found twice
as big as ours, indeed nearly as big as
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 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.

Gilbert had the misfortune to overturn
a wasps' nest. Immediately the swarm
rose and settled on Gilbert, whose head,
and arms were covered with the pesti-

working by his side, was also badly
stung, and was rendered quite incapa-
