Of the peninsula Of Kamchatka and the
country northward toward Boring

have reasons of her own for letting
them alone. They have practically no
communication with the outside world,
and have only been visited two or three
times the last time by Major de Windt
on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants Of the New Siberian
islands are also practically alone on
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland and therefore with
the rest Of the world once year, and
succession Of bad seasons might isolate

The pyGmies Of the great central

than legendary, and only two expedi-
lions commanded by white men have

Snakes, SENSE Of Smell.

Snakes have the sense Of smell. It is
difficult to obtain food for tie rattle
snakes and copperheads out at the ZOO
logical park The keeper has been try
ing them on the house rats and mice he
has caught about the building. He
would leave them in the snake cage over
night and through the day. They would
run over the snakes with; impunity
The-snakes would pay no attention to
them, but when he happened to- secure
some field mice and put them in the
cage the snakes ate them at once. He
put in several rats and mice of the or
binary house Variety that were living
out of doors under the sidewalk, and
these were seized by the snakes almost
as readily as the wild species.
The keeper then conceived the idea of
making an earth box to keep the rats in
for awhile before feeding, and he found
that if they were put in there for IL
hours or so before they were given to
the snakes they would be eaten. The
only apparent explanation is that the
smell Of the earth is agreeable to the
snakes, and that the smell which the
animals acquire about buildings is OBJ
jectionable. Chicago Record.

The Albany Capitol Guide.

One of the first things done by q
stranger visiting Albany, says the Phil.
adelphia Call, is to pay s5 cents and
put himself at the mercy of a capitol
guide. The guide makes profound and
obsequious bow, like a prestidigitatoI
about to charm an audience, and pro-
ceeds to lift the veil which hides the
mysteries of the great building.
On recent occasion the guide led
the stranger regretfully past "McGin-
ty's'' empty frame and proceeded to
identify the heads of notables that deco
rate the stairway. He did fairly well
until the stranger pointed out Shakes
peare and Homer and asked who they
were.
''Them, replied the guide, undaunt-
ed, ''are the heads Of two politicians
whose names / disremember.

THE VIGIL.

Through the long dark watch and waxD
Beside my armor bright.
For morrow's dawning sun shall make
Me, too, belted knight
The silent hours drag slow and long,
The chapel Eoor is cold;
Ny weary eyes are faint, but strong
My heart to win and hold.
No kin may help, no friend draw nigh.
And all the world asleep,
For this one night my soul and I
Alone must vigil keep.
Yet through yon oriel's tinted wheel
OF stars silent throng
Watch over me and wish my veal
Knights who were brave and strong
In silver armor clad, like mine,
They throng the blessed field,
Bright on my helm and corselet shine
. And bless my sword and shield.
They nobly strove In wars alarms,
They died 10 keep their vow,
But first they watched to win their arms
As am watching now.
May their noblesse me, too, inspire
Who long like them to fight,
When l, who now am but squire,
Shall rise belted knight.
