THE WATER ANTELOPE.
Singular Animal Found by Portu-
guesc Explorer i'm the wilds
of Central Africa.

One of Two Strange Animals" de-
scribed in st. Nicholas by John Il.
Coryell, is the water-antelope.
OF course the air belongs to the
birds, and the water belongs to the
fishes, and the earth belongs to the
mammals; but Notwithstanding this
easy division of the elements among
the animals, it seems as if no species
was willing to stay always in the ele-
ment best suited to it. There are fish,
for example, which not only fly in the
air, but even take long walks over
land. Birds, as everybody knows, walk
on land and swim on and under water.
AS for mammals, there are the whales,
which live always in the water, the
seals, which live most of the time in
the water, the Appropriateness, which
live on land or in the water, as they
please, and the flying squirrels, which
fearle ssly invade the air.
But besides these instances, which
are so well-known that they no longer
surprise us, there are others which
are new and unexpected. Who can
imagine the antelope otherwise than
slender of limb, graceful of movement
and fleet of foot? Why, we never think

MILKMEN IN BRAZIL.
Take Their Cows to Customers nnd
Arc MS Full OF Tricks as
Heather Chinee.

There are two ways in which you
may buy milk in Brazil" said the man
who had just returned. THE milk
isn't first rate, and milk and cream are
scarce, but there is originality in one
way of selling it.
Sometimes milk is delivered from
house to house in glass bottles, carried
in wire baskets, something after the
fashion of the milkman here, but there
the difference begins. The cart used
in Brazil is three-wheel pushcart, al
ways painted some dark dull color.
The bottles are typically Brazilian;
they are long small-necked. dark
green, secondhand wine bottles,
which have advantages of their own
for the merchant. The customer cam
not see the water which he knows is in
the milk, and the dark color simplifies
the task of washing, which is quite n
point to the native.
But the other way of delivering
milk is simon-pure Brazilian, and it is
sort of case of the mountain COM
ing to Mahomet. The milk merchant
leads his cow around to his customers
by n halter. Tied to the cows tail is
smaller halter and at the other end
of that rope is a small muzzle halter.
which is fastened around the head of a
calf. The Brazilian milkman believes
that the cow will not give milk1f unac-
companied by her calf.
The merchant, thus leading his
merchandise and source of supply,
walks bare-footed over the uneven
stone pavements from customer to
customer. In his hand he carries an
ordinary-sized drinking glass and
tin one-pint measuring cup; these he
ingeniously raps one against the other
and this is his gong to notify his Gus.
toners of his approach. A customer
reached, the merchant gets down on
one knee and proceeds to execute the
order while the customer waits.
The stranger sees no chance for
diluting the milk in this system by
which the consumer sees with his own
eyes the goods produced. But the ma
| tives-and they all agree on this point
insist that the milk merchant has
under his coat rubber bottle filed
with water and with rubber tube at
tachment which enables him to inject
the water into the measure along with
the milk. Another way the artistic
milk merchant has for milking his GUS
toner is by producing as much foam
as possible. This is done by holding
the glass as far as practicable from
the source of supply during the
process of filling the measure.
I'm the best hotels and restaurants
on the eastern coast of Brazil did not
once see cream used or offered, and
milk as a beverage was very seldom
seen, and L did not once see it men,
toned on bill of fare. Milk-such
as it is-brings about Is cents quart,
United States money, and better
supply even at this price would in
crease the demand materially."-N.Y Y.

binary breakfast time. 1t was a Won
derful surprise for us, and would have
been the end of that army, for the
time being, but for the work of our
signal corps. Sheridan was full of
confidence. He had gone to Washing
ton, supposing that his work had been
practically completed by the victory
at Winchester and Fishers Hill, in
September. But our signal corps men,
on October II, had taken from the
confederate signal lights the message
to Early; Remain where You are un-
til i arrive, and we will crush Sheri-
dan This was signed Longstreet.
The fact was telegraphed to Sheridan
at Washington. The great cavalry
corps was on its way to Petersburg,
but Sheridan ordered it back, and
fastened himself to join his army. He
arrived just in the nick of time. If
Sheridan had not been there disaster
would have been complete"
In book, published soon after the
conclusion of the civil war, Whitelaw
Reid wrote: "At glance Sheridan

OF the creature but as timidly pricking
up its ears ready for flight, or as
bounding like the wind over the plain.
It's whole life seems motion.
1t seems quite in order for the heavy
limbed, slow-moving, argejawed hip
popotamus TO be at home in the wa
ter; but for an antelope to abandon
the land, and give up all that grace
and fleetness which are its birthright,
seems like flying in the face of nature.
Nevertheless there is an antelope in
Central Africa which is as i'll at ease
on land as fish out of water"
Maj. Serpa Pinto, a celebrated Por-
tuguese explorer, came upon this sim
the continent of Africa.
The water-antelope has the appear
ance of an ordinary antelope that has
changed in order TO suit itself to its
new element. Instead of the short
hair of its kind it has long hair, which,
being thick and oily, prevents the wa
| ter from wetting the skin. The hoofs
have grown so long that they turn up,
and so the creature moves about on
| land in very slow and awkward man
ner.
In the water, however, it is swift and
! Rgile-so much so that it is almost i'm
/ possible to shoot it unless it be caught
on land. 1t would probably never go
on shore at all if it were not that hun
ger compels it to do so. Apparently
its stomach is not yet suited TO wa
ter life, for it eats grass, as other an
telopes do. While eating, it remains
as near as possible to the water, and
at the slightest alarm hobbies TO the
bank and plunges into the lake. /.
swims rapidly under water to con-
siderable distance, and then slowly ap-
proaches the surface and cautiously
thrusts out its nose in order to
breathe. 1t even sleeps in the water,
and then only shows portion of the
head and horns above the surface.
AS it needs deep water to insure its
safety, it is found almost always in
the lakes; and the species is probably
not very common, for Maj. Serpa Pinto
is the first traveller to mention the ami
NAL. The liking of this antelope for
the water is the more strange because
antelopes usually, like sheep, are much
less dependent on that element than
most other animals, being able to go
for long time without drinking.

he did not take into account the fact
that there were present a vigilant

his lively gait aroused the suspicious

HOW WILL CHINA
 RAISE THE MONEY?
Ministers Are Considering Pro- posaIs Of Financial Ex-
 pertS on Great Task.

Pekin, April 3.-The ministers are con- sidering proposals submitted by financial experts for the raising of a sufficient sum for the payment of the Chinese indem- nifty. It is probable that some arrange ment will be arrived at on the basis of the scheme of Sir Hart, director of the imperial maritime customs, which pro vides for the handing of the salt and ikin taxes over to the maritime customs administration and the levying of an an- nual house tax equal to half month S rent, which is calculated to provide 2O,- 0O0,O0o taels and clear the whole of the principal in less than forty years. Two hundred and fifty million taels is equiva- lent roughly estimated, to $36,oOO,0O0 but the total amount of the indemnity is like ly to be much more.
