Wild Animals and Catnip.

A curious investigator and few
sprigs of catnip led to an amusing
scene at the Zoo in Central Park, New
York City, recently.
The tigers and the puma scornfully
refused to notice the herb when it was
presented to them by the keeper; but
the lion. the lionesses. and the big
leopard were boisterous in their mani
festitations of pleasure.
The lion planted a foot upon it,
.smelled it, licked it, sprawled upon it,
and tossed it about in ways unbecom-
ing his kingly dignity. The leopard
picked it up in her huge paw, took
long and ecstatic shifts. and rolled
over and over upon it in the exuber-
ance of her delight. In her efforts to
apply it to the upper part Of her head,
she performed acrobatic feats of an
astonishing kind.
From this experiment the investiga-
tor was satisfied that love of catnip is
not confined to the domestic branch
of the cat family.

that he was going to tell something

grandpa was a boy?" asked Beth,
curiously.

Beth looked incredulous at the idea
of "buttoned-up bed"
"Yes," continued Uncle Frank,
amused at Beth's mysterious express
sion. "Twas made of skin. like bag
lined with very warm wool. with
flap that contained an air-hole made
in it. This we could unbutton when
ever we wanted to go to bed. We had
to crawl in feet first. Then we would
button it up. and sleep like dog till
morning. And guess we looked more
like log than anything else in our
queer, round beds"
my! I'd like to have one to sleep
in," exclaimed Beth.
"Well, you'd need one II you were
on a snow-covered mountain. where
the wind blew a gale for hours at a
time. A tent would hardly stand such
blast for moment, but in our bag
beds one was safe and snug as you'll

And Beth ran upstairs to dream Of
the queer little beds so often used on
the Alaska mountains.-The Christian

Hioher Than Mount Everest.

Mount Everest, the famous Hima.
iayan peak. is little upward of 29,.
600 feet in height, and the loftest yet
discovered on earth, but according to
a statement recently made at a meet
ing of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety. the moon has mountains that
reach a height Of $4,000 feet, 6,000
feet higher than Mount Everest. The
discovery was made, it is said, by an
English observer of the eclipse of the
sun in May, 1900. During totality he
noticed a point on the edge of the
moon where the sun was shining
through a very deep valley, and he
estimated the height of the mountain
forming the valley at the figures just
given.

All in the bright spring weather.
The pink and pretty people
Whispering close together:
"We're drawing royal juices
From the happy earths completeness,
From the perfumed showers of summer
And the spicy south winds sweetness.

Weaving charms with dewy plunder;
And we're chemists of, the sunshine
Changing form and working wonder.

With streaks and peaks and dapples.
