through an animal dealer in PhilaGel-
phia magnificent pair of the large
black and white lemurs indigenous TO
the island Of Madagascar. This makes
the fourth pair of these animals
brought to this country. and. In addi-
tion 10 being highly attractive by rea-
son Of their coat Of long jet black and
snow white hair and their abnormally
large and luminous eyes, they are Of
very great interest from the viewpoint
Of science and evolution.
The Iemur stands in the same rela-

Of the eagles immense wing supporting
a comparatively light body. But our
little bird has plump body. His wings
are not wide. but long, so he must
move them rapidly to sustain his
weight. and this he can do to perfec-
ton. The vibrations Of his wings are

from flower to flower with graceful
and rapid movement. sometimes chas-

of which he is very jealous. Nor Is he

He knows his power Of flight, and he

WHEN GARFIELD LAY DYING
A Pathetic Incident of His Removal
10 Long Branch.

| a pathetic incident Is related apropos
Of the day Of fasting and prayer which
was appointed by all the governors of
the United States at the time President
Garfield was removed from Washing
ton to Long Branch in the hope that
the change might help him 10 recover
from the bullet wounds inflicted by
Guiteau.
Crete" said the president to his
brave little wife about II on that
Thursday morning as the ringing
strokes from the belfry of the Eplsco-
pal church almost across from the cot
tage reached his ears, what are they
ringing that bell forf''
THAR said Mrs. Garfield, who had
been waiting for the surprise. That's
the church where we were when you
first came down. They're all going to
pray for you TO get well" and falling
on her knees, she said. And I'm going
to pray. too. James. that it may be
soon. for know already that the other
prayer has been heard"
From where he lay Garfield could see
the carriages draw UP ana group after
group 20 in. He could even hear the
subdued refrain Of Jesus, Lover Of My
Soul" as it was borne by on its heaven
ward way Thrilled with emotion.
tear trickled down the presidents face.
Then he closed his eyes and turned his
face as a sweet woman's voice arose
singing from one of Sir Michael Costa's
oratorios. Turn thou unto me and
have mercy upon me-" sang the voice.
for | am desolate-I am desolate and
afflicted: the troubles Of my heart are
enlarged. oh. bring thou me out Of my
distresses-out OK MY disresses-my
God"
The people in the church sat almost
spellbound under the voice, for the
singer was affected deeply and made it
seem to all, what ii must have been to
her, a prayer in music.
