bodied insects or bits of lean meat, as well
as fruits and crackers, they will live long

of squirrels are brought from Central

which are smaller than the red ard gray

differ from them in some minor points.

They are sufficiently we'll cared for on
their way, for each one of them represents
so much money invested and must be de-
livered in good order, but some of the
larger animals suffer not little from
genuine NAL de mer, and are all more or
less depressed by their unwonted sur
roundings and circumstances. Monkeys
usually stand their sea trials we'll, for they
are the Mark Tapleys Of the brute crea-
ton, and their mercurial spirits enable
them to rise above the gloomy influences
of their environment. Besides this they
come over in light and airy cages, six of
them in each, and doubtless fird much of
solace as well as amusement in each 9TH
ers society. The Japanese goldfish in
their tanks probably think, if they think
at all, that the throbbing and shaking
going on all about them is due to
the fact that it is earthquake season
in their native land, and accordingly
accept the situation philosophically.

are frequently sent to small dealers, brok-

THE YAQUIS AND
THEIR HEROIC STORY.

By far the most unique and interesting
tribe of Indians existing upon the West
ern hemisphere at this time is the Iaquls,
whose home is in the northwestern por-
ton of the republic of Mexico, State of
Sonora. Hunted and oppressed by the
Spanish conquerors and their successors
the Iaquis, who four centuries ago domi-
mated tbs whole northern section of the
territory of Mexico, have decreased in
numbers until now hardly 10000 of all the
tribes are left out of the 5000, 600 they are
estimated to have mum bered when the
conqueror, Cortez, landed.
Cortez and his lieutenants found their
most determined and skillful opponents
in the Yaquis. But the genius of the
white man eventually overcame the
feeble opposition OF the Indians, who
were finally subiugated and compelled to
acknowledge their conquerors as their
sovereign masters. When the mineral
resources of the new land began to be
realized by the Spaniards they forced the
whole conquered population to work as
slaves in the mines which had been dis
covered and opened through their enter
prise. BY fortunes too awful to contem-

ment of this rather too extensive piece OF
personal adornment occupies nearly all
the time and thought of its owner, and,
like many other devotees to senseless
fashion, it seems at times to feel that life
is failure
In San Francisco we have the only i'm
porter OF japanese goldfish in the United
States (Mr. Robison). one of whose spe-
ciaties is this particular branch of the
animal trade. Over %, 900 of these water
Jewels" including the fantail, fringetail,
telescope and comet varieties, were
sold by him during last years "sea-
son." which extends from November
to March l. and that there will be far
larger demand for them this year is shown
by the orders which have already come in
from all over the country. These fish are
brought over the ocean in large tanks and
shipped to their inland destinations in tin
cans, with wire netting over the open tops.
They thrive well If kept clean and prop
erly fed, and will live for long time,
growing very tame and quite demon
strativeIy affectionate for such cold
blouded little things toward these whose
special pets they are.

or Glove BIRDS from South Africa and
Australia are the most universally adj

lures, which are III the trade classed
under the general head of small birds,

Japan, South and Central America and

its com petitors in the business of caplur-

las and nearly every variety OF the extern
sive finch family, including the straw,
paradise, painted, chestnut, zebra,
double bar, cut throat, Napoleon and
bishop finch, together with many
other kinds of birds noted for beauty or
song or both, are annually sent from
there to this port, and novelties in this
line are constantly being placed on the
market. The widah bird is one of the
most curious yet sent us. 1t is a

an ordinary canary, and yet is the

cost should they increase as rapidly and
prove as m!schievous here as they do In
their native land. Among the animals for
which there is q steady though small de-
mand is the ferret, of which rom fifty to
seventy-ive are sold here yearly. Con-
trary to the general opinion, tame ferrets
are very gentle and affectionate, and as
they are far better vermin exterminators
than cats arc readily sold to hotel-keepers
and ranch owners as well as to profess
sional rat atchers, who earn good liveli-
hood by means of their prowess.
The graceful little cham eleons, 1900 OF
which were sold here during the Mid
winter Fair, are no longer in the market.
They heve ceased to be fashionable and
are allowed to live and die in the happy
obscurity of their native wilds. The
grewsome habit which the man in charge
of the consignment at the fair had of
taking the dead ones by the tail and, by
dexterous movement, swapping their heads
off, to secure for future use the tiny collar
and chain riveted around their poor little
stiff necks, had good deal to do with the
sudden dying out OF he fad in this locality.

ported from Germany and the Tyrol.
The scientific system OF breeding
practiced in those countries has evolved
over fifty excellent varieties from
the original little green songsters which
were shipwrecked near Elba nearly 400
years since, of which the most noted are
the jonquil, or tongue. mealy and st.
Andreas. Over 5000 are sent to this City
annually, from October to January, of
which large number, together with
white Java sparrows are exported to
Guatemala and South America. Siskins,
goldhnches, chaffinches. buIlinches ard
linnets also come from Germany and
are readily sold here and in the
adjacent States. The dogs dealt in here
are generally, with the exception of the
Japanese pugs and Mexican hairless
raised by our local fanciers, as are the
beautiful and valuable Maltese and Angora
cats and many fine varieties of pigeons,
pouters, tum blers, homers, jacobins, fam
tails, "coo-doves" and many others. The

animals on shipboard, for they are
shipped by the half dozen in barrels.
Two sticks are fastened solidly across the
inside of the barrel, for use as private
gymnasium to relieve the tedium of the
voyage; one end is headless and securely
covered with wire netting, a small square
hole is cut in one side to serve for the
double purpose of ventilation and the adj
mittance of food, and the parrots state
room is then complete Notwithstanding
the limited allowance of space and light
given them, however, nearly every parrot
OF the thousand and more yearly sent
here arrives in excellent bodily condition,
and in decently amiable frame of mind.
AS we have no geological garden really
worthy the name on this coast. and no
travelling menageries of our own. large
and ferocious beasts, like lions and tigers,
are brought this way only occasionally to
fill special contracts. Balloons and the
great apes are also infrequent arrivals, but
of the smaller monkeys from Africa, Asia
and South and Central America several
hundred are imported annually. OF these
the Diana, or spotted monkeys, the green
the white-faced and the Mona, or common
monkey, are the iavorites for pets. The
marmoset, or oustiti is the smallest and
prettiest of the monkey tribe, aud is very
gentle and affect1onate, lacking much of
the impish mischievousness OF its larger
brethren.
Quite large number OF this species are
brought there, but they are delicate little
creatures, and very sensitive to cold, and
as general thing do not thrive well in
captivity. If. however they are properly
cared FAR, given warm bed, place in
sunny window, and an owner who remem-
