A singular creature Is tho Tasmania
zebra wolf. It is not related to either
zebra, wolf or tiger. but belongs TO
the same family as the kangaroo. tho
wombat and the opossum-thoso AMI
mails which have pouches wherein to
carry their young But the animal Is
striped like the zebra, and Is as raw
enous and fierce In It's nature as wolf
or tiger. lie is the most formidable
marsupial OF the more than sixty va
rletles. and Is the largest and most
dreaded OF all the mammals In Aus
trnlasla. The zebra wolf has dog
like face, a VOLTS short and erect ears
eyes like an owl. stripes like zebra
and pouch like a kangaroo. lie Is n
night prowler. The light OF day blinds
him as Il blinds an owl, and. when
pressed by hunger. he energies during
the daytime from his lair. his move
ments are slow and he is easily slain.
The eyes, which are large. are fur
nlshed with nictating membrane.
This is almost continually moving in
the day time. as the pupils are exposed
to the light. The general color OF the
short. woolly fur is grayish brown. in
cllned to yellowish. Across the ground

When I was on the Zulu frontier.

n week with native, a splendid fell
low. who had a fine farm. Among
other animals he had young bull
called llulo. which he and his children
fondly believed could yanquish any
beast on earth. Hulo was a great pet.
and not In the least vicious. NO was
surprised on the second evening Of my
stay TO see Hulo smiling the air and
paving the ground In evident rage. l
was about to ask what II meant when
out OF the forest came an ugly rhi-
noceros, My host and hurried for
our guns and Hulo dashed At tho beast
with dauntlcss courage. A rush. n
crash and the bull was hurled twenty
feet. Fortunately the horn Of his enc
my had not caught him and the FIRST
rush had taught him lesson. His
horns were like sharp swords. but the
hide OF tho rhlnoceros Ia remarkably
thick and tho young bull soon showed
signs OF fatigue. So he rosorted To
strategy and lodged behind his clumsy
foe. giving him vicious stabs in the
thighs. This was rapidly weakening
the rhinoceros, and Just at this time We
found some steel bullets leaden bullets
having no effect on this animal. and
quickly completed the work Hulo be-
gan. Then the bull stood ON tho car

Col. Burr OF Virginia was n mighty

Remarkable Escape from tho OaIiows.
Some years ago butler. II was al

The man was cried. found guilty, and
sentenced to death. In due time the
cope was placed round his neck. and,
everything ready. the executioner
pulled the bolt. his victim disappear

,yer, snapped under the weight OF tho
condemned man. and he lay at the bot

aew rope was procured and the same
proceedings gone through. II seems In
credible, but II is a fact, that the rope
broke a second time. The unfortunate

ured. The prison officials decided. 10

iemarkIng that "Providence was
tgalnst them" Meanwhile the CON
lemned man, still declaring bic. ihno-

the fact that few days after the

The ST. LOUIS ponce are probably tho
most accommodating gentlemen that
ever lived on Monday Mr.. Paul
Hcmus OF Butler. Pa. shot u negro in
Center alley. lie was arrested and no
told AN official at central station that
II was all mistake. Il Ia not courte-
Gus 10 doubt gontlcman's word. and
his explanation was accepted. lie was
released with an apology for his arrest.
Afterward II developed that Mr. Ho-
mus had prcyarlcatod when he said no
had not shot the negro. but he has not
called at police headquarters since.
hence he Is stiil nj large. And later
In tho week another gentleman was ar
rested who was caught In the act OF
passing counterfeit dollar on a street
car conductor But he said he was n
gentleman and got the bogus dollar at
the exposition. and Of course that was
quite satisfactory. II Is dead wrong to
lock mp on suspicion anyone who says
he ia n gentleman II you are unlucky
enough TO be arrested on suspicion, lust
say you are a gentleman and not guilty.
Never mind bringing any witnesses to
prove your Identity, Il IL quite un-

Mrs. +. M. Shepard read a very iaterest.
Ing paper on Housekeeping and home

was next introduced
The corresponding secretary read from
the April oath issue OF the Michigan Farm
or the following remarks which accom-
panied the question: we need not apol
ogize for again suggesting the topic of
Coed Roads Six months ago, when the
question was first discussed, it was with the
distinct end in view, of heading off what we
as farmers. believed to be a movement
which would impose on us serious and
grievous additional burden of taxation.
ln this we have been successful. The So
called Good Roads" movement instituted
blythe good roads league, is for the present
an; abandoned enterprise. The principle
promulgated by the State Association of
Farmers Clubs, "That no change be made
IN our road law whereby the maintenance
of our roads shall be more burdensome
than at present, or that will dispOssess the
farming community of their management"
has met with the approval OF the present
legislature, If, as we believe, the present
indications are to be trusted.
The farmers have won the victory, led by
the farmers club, as az organization. But
while we may congratulate ourselves on our
escape from threatened evil, and more
truly still upon this practical demonstration
of the strength Of our organization, the. fact
must not escape our immediate cOnsidera-
ton that the victory has brought with it
grea. responsibility. Our main argument
all through this discussion with the good
roads league has been: "Tne present laws
a,e satisfactory it properly enftrced." We
have pinned our faith and pleh,ed our sup
port to the present system. aud the legsla-
ture proposes to take us at cur word. Thi.
means sisplv and plainly that something
mast be dOne TO secure better enforcement
Of the present laws during the next two
years, ar we shall meet and deserve defeat
at the next sessi.'1 Of the legislature. The |
farmers clubs haze taken the initiative IN
the fight, aud through the combined efforts
Of the farmers of the state, we have won
the battle. Now 1t is again our plain duty
to lead in the solution OF the greater and
gravsr problem, which Is the natural in
heri~nss OF our victory.
Again, we say the problem must be
solved, and the responsibility rests with us.
We must prove our faith by eur works, or /
justly suffer the consequences The talk
which followed referred more to the origin |
Of the good roads, movement. the inadequacy |
Of tho postmaster system, and the duties Of !
the highway commissioner Then to the |
point In question, 1.-THE beat methods of i'm. |
proving the roads under the present sys-
Iem." The subject will be taken up again
