EN- Ell OLIMPO

Tn dia, va hace siglos,
los topos Sc untaron
y a .jove sc quejaron
cansados de cavar.
<Protestamos,-diieron,
de que haya tanta genie
que goza ibremente
del aire, ell sol Y el mari
/ sPor que?-Porque nosotros,
por una suerte perra,
pasamos bajo tieEa
la edad de la Illusion,
en- tante que ALA arriba
los mas afortunados
cncargan a los hados
de su manutencion.
-sY que quereis?-Que nadie
holgando coma Y beba,
que todo el mundo deba
cavar para conner.
-;Caramba, con los topos!
Con que coplitas vienea.
Lo malo ests en- que tiensn
razon al parecer.
Apollo, stu que opinas:
-Senor, re de Apollo,
yo creo que no es solo
trabajo ell de cavar,
que tambien trabaja
en- busca del sustento
quien cruza raudo ell viento
quien surca libre ell mar.
Sacar de topo al topo
serfa un POGO grave:
mi vuela como ell ave,
nj nada como ell pez.
DE modo que tn piensas -.
-Pues cdlpate a ii solo

ell malestar profundo.

hands were some rings.
After gazing at the German the English
man said to his companion:
II hate to see man with rings on.

vouchsafed.

TROUT AND PICkEREL.


Homething About Their Methods Of Feed
tng, ~ Observed st the Aquarium.
It is easy TO observe at the aquarium
the habits Of fish In feeding. Some are
sluggish, some are fierce and some are
sly. The trout are fed on live killies.
The killies when thrown into the tank
scatter in all directions, with the front
after them like chain lightning, twist.
ing and turning with marvellous celeri-
ty. The killies double. the trout dart
after them. Rising to bunch of Kill
lies at the top, the trout fairly make
the water fly. They Jump almost, If not
quite, clear out Of 1t, a. II they were
turning somersaults, and down they go
In again and ON after the killies. II is
. dashing, slashing. crashing pursuit,
and in about half minute the killies
are all gone.
The pickerel-how difYerenti How
silent, and yet how suddenl The killie
dropped in above darts downward
through the water. Not pursued, it
slow down and halts in the middle Of
the tank to rest and to recover it's equa-
nimity after it's recent disturbing expe-
rience of being removed from its home
In the live food tank, carried about In
o galvanized iron tray, and finally
dropped into another tank as food for
other fishes.
At q little distance is observed the
pickerel. It has come up silently, like a
long, slender, little steamer moving
dead slow. It comes to halt SO smooth
ly and quietly that the instant Of its
halt is not noticed. 1t is simply seen TO
be lying there, motionless, about six
inches from the killie.
All is peace and quiet in the tank,
and the killie still balances itself in the
water and rests. Suddenly, with no ap-
parent exertion Of power, the pickerel
darts forward. The movement is 80 sud-
den that it is not realized that the pick
erel has moved until it is seen in its
new position. The killie is gone. 1t ID

One Woman's Trials.

A resident of Staten Island has lately
been very much annoyed by some Of the
urchins of the neighborhood. She is a
great lover Of nature and has on her
front piazza a number Of potted plants
which have been cared for all winter.
At night, when everything is quiet. the
boys come and manage to steal one or
two plants without discovery. One by
one her choice flowers have disappeared,
and although she has watched for the
thieves they have never been caught.
The other day she conceived plan
by which she saved her remaining
treasures. Tying string to each flow
erpot, she connected the ends with a
bell in the hall. That night she waited
patiently for the alarm. At last there
was tinkle and then crash. Rushing
out, she saw boy, apparently fright
ened out Of his senses, running down
the path. When he found the pot tied
and heard the bell ring, he dropped his
booty and took to his heels. The boy es-
capped, but there has been no more trou-
BILE with flower thieves.
This woman Is very fond or pets OF
all kinds and has number about the
house. One day. while marketing, she
saw beautiful eamecock and thought
it would make novel sort of pet. Pay
ing $50 for her find, she had it sent
home. The bird arrived before its mis-
tress and was received by the cook, who
chopped off its head and prepared it for
dinner. New York Times.

Some of'the Giant Trees That Are Yeusd
yn CaliforniA. at

Some of'tbe Giant Trees That Are Yeusd
Sn California.
In the uss,onal parks and forest pre-
serves OF California the big trees are by
far the mort interesting and greatest
natural features. There are two vsri-
eties--namely. Sequoia sempervirens,
ordinarily known as tho redwood,
the tree which has furnished most Of
the redwood lumber Of commerce. and
the Sequoia gigantea, from which
comparatively small amount of similar
lumber has also been made. The for
mer In the smaller variety and grows
OH the foothills along the coast. The
latter attains considerably larger
growth, il, more strictly speaking, the
"big tree" Of California, and IL seldom
found at o lower altitude than 5000
feet
Scattered along the extent Of the Sier.
ra Nevadas from north TO south are
many distinct and separate groups o.
groves Of Sequoia gigantea These are
generally known by names significant
OF locality, al, for instances. "CAlavsr-
ss,v ."Tuolnmne. "Msriposs'' and
"Fresno.'' names OF the counties in
which the groves 70 called are situated.
The Tuolumne grove ID IN tho Yosemite
park. and the Msriposa near by. This
latter Is the one most frequently visited
by tourists and contains the "Wawona"
"a tree with hole burned In its base,
through which the stage road runs and
four horse stages are driven without
diHioulty-and the "Grizziy Giant" !"
one Of the largest trees in the world.
The stately grandeur Of these eDor-
nous and lofty trees Is 20 impressive
that 1t seems quite At and natural that
some Of the larger ones should have been
individualized and honored with distin-
guished titles. Nearly every state In
the Union and every distinguished gen.
eral Of the civil war has namesake
among them. The " General Grant" In
the General Grant park, and the "Gen.
eral Sheridan of the "Giant forest
(situated in the Sequoia park) are indi-
viduals Of the largest size. It is difficult
to determine just which Of the big trees
is the largest. but these two and the
"Grizzly Giant''-the gnarly base OF
any one Of which will exceed 30 feet In
diameter-are probably the biggest trees
yet discovered.
The trees often grow in such inacces-
sible mountain retreats that some Of the
territory covered by them has never yet
been thoroughly and systematically ex-
plored. Outside the lands reserved by
the government California lumber
company owns several thousand acres
of these trees-enough to last 40 years,
cutting many millions Of feet per year.
