ANIMALS AS MODELS.
Some Of the Experiences OF an Artist In
Sketching From Life.

Some OF the Experiences OF an Artist In
Sketching From Life.
LEAVES From the Sketchbook of an
Animal Artist " Is an article by Meredith
Nugent in st. Nicholas. Mr.. Nugent says:
There Was an elephant in the Jardin des
Plantes that would not pose unless he
were paid for it, and paid In advance.
Then no took payment in buns and pie,
but If these were not forthcoming no would
deliberately walk to the farther end of the
Enclosure and turn his back The only
way to get a drawing of this big fellow
was TO engage some one to feed him mean
while.
In the same gardens saw an unusually
interesting sight one morning. A little
sun bear with large marrow bone in his
shaggy paws was resorting to all sorts of
bear devices to get the sweet marrow.
Suddenly he lay down on his back, placed
one end of the bone in his jaws and with
his hind paws tipped the other end of the
bone so high up that the choice morsel
slipped into his mouth. If the animal could
only have understood the shouts of approx
al that greeted this performance, think
it would have turned his head.
AS rule, find the models very good
natured True, they keep a sharp oye on
me for the first few days. but after that
are generally quite friendly. OF course
there are some parts of the business they
do not like. The oriole never was happy
when held him in my hand for close in
speotion, but a beautiful cat which re-
belled when first placed her In a bird
cage, to keep her in front of me, grew so
fond of being there that after ! finished
my drawings she cried and cried to be put
back into the cage.
Intense curiosity is the great character
istc of animals when in the studio. They
are as much interested in you and the sur
roundings as you are in them. This Is
especially the case with birds. Leave the
studio but few minutes, and these two
legged fellows are hopping into every
thing OF course they inspect the paper
on which you have been drawing, and the
paints, and the brushes and occasionally
vary these proceedings by taking a bath

OLD JIM BRiDGER.
A Rocky Mountain Guide Who Thought
Munchausen Was q Liar.

A Rocky Mountain Guide Who Thought
Munchsusen Was a Liar.
Sir George Gore, wealthy Irish sports
man, began in 1855 hunting expedition
among the Rocky mountains which occu-
pied two years and exceeded anything Of
the kind ever seen on this continent. The
outfit consisted of 80 persons, including
secretaries, a steward, cooks, fymakers,
dog tenders, servants, train of 80 wagons
and numerous saddle horses and dogs.
Old Jim Bridger was Sir Georges guide
and interpreter, and no man on the from
tier knew the glens and passes of the
mountains so accurately as he did. Though
illiterate and as unconventional as an In
dian, Bridger was honest, kind, generous
and shrewd-just the man to attract the
Irish sportsman.
In bis "Old Santa Fe Trail" Colonel
Inman describes the companionship of the
two men-one rich, educated, whole
souled Irish nobleman, the other man
who from boyhood had lived on the plains,
depending ON his tact and rifle for food
and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until 10
o'clock In the morning; then he took a
bath, ate his breakfast and set out gcner

unusual for him to remain out until 10 at
night, and he seldom returned without
"meat." His dinner was then served, to
which he extended an invitation to
Bridger.
After the meal was over Sir George was
In the habit of reading from some book
and drawing out from Bridger his ideas
about the author
The Irishman usually read from Shakes
peare, which Bridger reckin'd was too
highfalutin for him.
"Thet thar big Dutchman, Mr.. Full
stuff" he commented, twas a leetle too
fond of lager beer"
Sir George read the Adventures of
Baron Munchausen" to Bridger, who re-
marked that he'd be doggoned Of he swal-
lowed everything that thar baron said.
He thought he was "a liar" yet acknowl-
edged that some of his own adventures
among tho Blaokfeet would be equally
wonderful, eff writ down In book.
Bridger thought Sir George successful
hunter, an opinion justified by the records
of the two years hunt-40 grizzly bears,
1900 buffaloes numerous antelopes and
other small game.

How the Seal Catches Killies.

Almost all the larger fishes at the aqua
rum like killies to eat when they can get
them, and in this respect the New Hamp-
shire seal is like the fishes. There is great
disproportion in the size between the seal
and killie, but there is nothing clumsy
about the seal, and, big as it is 1t is a
lightning swimmer, and 1t can double on
itself with the greatest facility. 1t is
much faster than the killie and the killie
Is powerless to scape It,
On being tossed into the pool the killie
makes off from where 1t struck the water,
as fast as it can go, with the seal after it..
There are steps at one end of the pool lead
ing to the platform on which the seal
sleeps at night. The killie may hug one
of these steps, but 1t does not thus escape.
The seal humps 1t up there and catches
and eats 1t or starts 1t out across the pool
again. The seal can get 1t practically
whenever 1t wants to. When chasing up
the killie, the seal sometimes flaps its side
fappers like wings, and then 1t seems like
big bird rushing along under water.
1t would take a good many killies to
make meal for the seal, and they are
rarely fed to 1t, only when the seal Is lit
tie Off its feed and needs something differ
emit for an appetizer. York Sun.

Funny Incident on a Bridal Trip.

A young married couple took late train
for Washington. intending to spend their
honeymoon in rambling through the cor
ridors of the capitol, Congressional library
and other public buildings. The porter
was awakening passengers at an unusual
ly early hour that morning, and long be-
fore the train reached Baltimore he had
them up. The groom told his bride that
he would leave his coat and hat and retire
to the smoking compartment of the train.
He went out and met friend, who asked
him back into another car in order that he
might meet friend of his Soon the con-
ductor began making his rounds and TAX
ing up tickets The young bride referred
him to the smoking apartment, where, she
said, her husband would be found. A mo-
ment later the conductor returned and in
formed her politely that the bridegroom
was not to be found. The other passengers
were startled by loud shrek.
"My husband! Oh, my husband"
"Don't be alarmed, madam" said the
conductor reassuringly. Nothing has
happened to your husband. He Is probably
In Baltimore. We dropped two sleepers at
that point" And that was why friends
of the young couple who went to the STA
ton in this city to meet them saw only
the bride clinging to an overcoat and a
silk hat and wailing, "This Is all there Is

Valuable Almanacs.

The most valuable almanac ever made
Is that now in the British museum, which
Is priceless. 1t is believed to be at least
5000 years old. The days are written in
red ink on papyrus, in columns, and I'M
der each is figure, followed by three char
acters signifying the probable state of the
weather for that day. The most elaborate
almanac in the world is that issued by the
Chinese government in ~ thick volumes,
which gives full information as to lucky
times and places for performing the acts
of everyday life. which is considered an es-
sential of success by every good China
man. The Nautical Almanac costs the
British nation e3, 942 year. At its office,
No. Verulam buildings, Gray's Inn,
London, the superintendent, A. NJ. w.
Downing, doctor of science and fellow of
the Royal society, receives 5000. Edward
Roberts, fellow of the Royal Astronomical
and Statistical societies, the chief assist
ant, receives e450, and there are IL other
assistants, several of whom are graduates
of universities or members of learned So
cieties, who are paid from el00 to 1900
each. The most curious calendar at pres
ent in use Is that of the natives of Central
America, where the months are only 20
days. and these are named after animals.
Among most modern European ones the
Almanac de Gotha has been the longest
In continuous circulation, upward of 1876
years. boston Transcript.
