usfne the Iifs Kcckek

On coast where shoals and reefs make the use of a life boat impraetic- able. or where the breakers and surf put an insurmeuntabIe barrier between the distressed crew on a wreck and the brave men on shore, the life rocket is regorted to; and, if the ship is within a certain distance, the swift travelling line propelled through the air comes like messenger of hope and life to those poor souls who. but a moment before, seemed beyond the reach of hu- man aid. But, sect Suddenly snow white serpent shoots up in the air. Ii comes nearer and nearer; the anxious ty strained eyes can now see the line which travels with it. It has reached the wreck and has been seized by eager hands. Quickly it is pulled through a block, and. as they haul on, stout rope soon follows in it's wake. Next comes a hawser, by means of which food and restoratives can be passed to the sufferers. Lastly comes the life buoy, and one by one the crew is safe ly landed Sometimes a kind of car is sent, in which several people can be rescued at the same time.

The Elephants Roven ge.

An extraordinary incident occurred tt the Jardin des Plantes. The elephant house adjoins that in which the camels are located. and young camel re- gently introduced had great attention layished on him, to the neglect of a hig elephant which had hitherto had most of the public favor in that guar. .er The elephant grew more jealous day after day. and matters came to a climax when. failing to attract the att tention of dainty little maiden who was earessing his young rival, the ele- phant filled his trunk with water and deluged the offending damsel from head to foot.-Cha+terbox.

SABLE ISLAND PONIES.

Their Names Are Ia Some Instances
 Three Yards Long.
 The story Of animal life on Sabio island is strange. Roaming the sandy wastes are herds Of wild ponies guard Cd by taz. larchal stallions, says Ains- lees Magazine. These ponies resemble the horses on the sculptures of Nine- Yeh, and approach the behoIder seem- ingly out of the framework Of antiqui- y. They are stocky and remarkable for their long manes, which in in- stances have been known to grow to Che length of three yards. These po- aies are the remnant Of a stock thought fo have been left by some Portuguese ashermen--eP Portingaiis" the old rec ords quafntly call them-who touehei at the islands on their fishing expedi- ton at even an earlier date than the Marquis de la Roche. At one time there were from 400 to 5o0 wild ponies on the island, but their number has been de- creased by exportatioa, the severity of the winters and, some people think, by the importation Of improved, do- nestieated stallions, which have made the stock less hardy and consequently more susceptible to death from expos are. There are now between eighty and 100 wild ponies and about thirty for domestic use. Mounted on ponies, the life savers gallop over the dunes and among the hillocks on their long patrols, and the 1ffeboats are drawn to the scenes of shipwraek by teams of five ponies. three at the shaft, and two leaders. Some Of the ponies are sent to Halifax every year or two, and are sold at auction at an average price Of from s15 to SIS.

 SINGING AT THEIR WORK.
DArlsies Accomplish Much More Whea
 They Can Make Music.


 They Can Make Music.
 Contractors in south Missouri em- ploy many negroes to load railroad ties on the cars of the Memphis rall- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in The woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped in piles along the side of the roads ZThs negroes then take them Up, tie by tie. and run with them up the blanks to the cars, where they drop them in regular order. These negroes are paid price for each tie they carry, so they vie with one another to earn the most money in ode day. They become no expert at the work that an old hand can throw heavy tie on his shoulder so that it will balance, and then, with out holding 1t, he will run, both hands pressed flat against his sides, up the gang plank to the car. The negroes are so accustomed to the Whrk that they seldom drop a tie and seem never to have sore shoulders. One may see gangs of dozen or more of them, all singing and whistling Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as he can, and every tune is different. The effect is amusing, but beyond de- seription. The men carry their ties at trot all day long. An inspector stands beside the plank that goes up the car to examine the ties being load cd. It is amusing to hear the inspec- tor call negro halfway up the plank with tie on his shoulder to throw 1t away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets 10 credit for his load and goes back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst into loud, uncomfortable laughter. All these negro tie carriers have deep grooves in the right shoul- der, where the ties have pressed, but the flesh is calloused and seldom sore. The men make good wages, most of them $3.50 day. They spend all Of It. Very few Of them save their money.

ALONG THE AMAZON.
rndians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Bar
 barism Inhabit Great Areas.


 The trip of the United States gum boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one of the achievements Of the closing cen tury. The commercial object Of the Wiimington's cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner Of man 1t was who dwelt in the remote fastnesses Of the great forests whence 1t came. During the gunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found to be apparently dociIe, but there was no mIstaking their unciyil- ized state. Clothing, save strip or two, worn by the women, are unknown. The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development They are copper-colored, Of middle height, with we'll shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair Is black, straight and rather coarse. the features broad. eheekbones not generally prominent. eyes black, and, strange to say, some times oblique like those of the Tartar races Of Eastern Asia. The sole wea pons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow. The bows are of great length, and in the hands of a skilled native can be made formidable. In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors found curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved to be mummifed human heads. This was significant, Inasmuch as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads Of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remov. ing the skull and treating it with cer- tain herbs until the head has been re dueed to about one-sixth of it's original size. The hair and features are pre- served intact. thus giving the head a very life-1ike appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs, upon which are recorded the details Of the battle.

TO OMAR.

Omar Khayyam, you're a jolly old
Aryan,
Half sybaritic, and semi-barbarian,
Not bit mystic, but unitarian,
Fond of a posy and fond of dram.
Symbolist, poet, and clear eyed philos-
opher,
Had you a wife l am sure you were
boss of her,
Yet you'd be ruled by the coquettish
toss Of her
Garland-crowned head at you, Omar
Khayyam.
For there is vanity
In you humanity,
Else your urbanity
Were but a fam
And the severity
Of your austerity
Proves your sincerity,
Omar Khayyam.
Well | remember when first you were
heralded,
Persian born posey ably Fitzgeralded;
Impulse said buy you-and I to my
peril ulU.
Now meek slave to your genius | am
Some of your doctrines to us may seem
hatable,
Though we admit that the themes are
debatable;
But your ideas, are they really trans
latable
Into our languages, Omar Khayyam9
In your society
All ineDriety
Seems but propriety,
Truth but a sham;
And the reality
Of your carnality
Courts immortality,
Omar Khayyam.
From the grave depths Of your massive
tranquility
their futility,
Thoughts that you phrase with a fatal
facility,
Hurl with the force of battering
ram.
But we care not though your message
be cynical,
Not very credal and scarcely rabbini-
call
We, your adorers, put you on a PIN
nacle,
For that we love you. old Omar Khay-
yam.
Though you re erroneous,
Still you're harmonious,
And you're euphonious
In epigram
| Der the censorious
| You are victorious;
! We hold you glorious,
Omar Khayyam.
CAROLYN Wells.
