From the NHiCheo AAiouAie'
An Arkansas planter living not far from
LITTLE Rock has announced his intention to
start a kangaroo ranch for the raising OF
kangaroos for the market. Besides the
value of the hide of the kangaroo the ami
mails are chiefly valuable for the use which
is made from their tendons. These can be
split extremely fine and are the best thing
known to the medical profession for use in
sewing up cuts and wounds. and especially
for holding the broken parts of bones to-
gether.
The tendons of the kangaroo are much
finer and tougher than catgut, but because
Of it's rarity commands high figure. The
advantage of catgut and kangaroo tendon
over silk thread or fine silver wire Is that
they are in time absorbed into the circula-
ton after they had fulfilled the purpose
for which the surgeon used them.
The Arkansas planter believes that the
raising of kangaroos would be most
profitable industry, and sees no reason why
it could not be carried on In America He
maintains that for considerable part of
the year the climate of Arkansas Is much
like that of Australia, and that during the
winter months the animals could be kept In
a large, well-heated barn.

Emotional Life of English Horses.

From the London Chronicle.
Any observer Of the customs OF our
streets must have been struck by the large
part our horses have taken in the emo
tional life of the last year. During the re-
joicings that followed upon the news of the
relief of Ladysmith and Mafekng the
horses were frequently swathed in Union
Jacks or carried them stuck cunningly in
the joints of their harness, and all through
the summer the trimmings of the sun bon
nets bore witness to their patriotism. Now
that the nation is plunged in grief the
horses are in mourning. and the shop OF
an enterprising saddler in one Of our prin-
cipal streets seems to have opened an over
flow business from the adjoining milliner.
The commonplace leather goods of the
trade are entirely concealed by mass of
feminine fripperies for horses. black silk

A Fatal Combination.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

combination of two prevalent evils
cost number of lives in Chicago yester-
day. firetrap apartment house burned
SO rapidly that the inmates were unable to
escape. A freight train at a grade cross
ing blocked the engines their way to
the fire until it was too late to rescue the
victims.
OF the two causes the tinder-box apart
ment house was the most direct. There
may be some excuse for erecting single
dwellings that are inf1ammable But to
build houses in which people are to live
constantly two or more stories above the
ground and to build them of material
which favors a rapid spread of the flames
are simply inviting disaster. Every city.
Pittsburg not excepted. needs to give some
attention to the prevention of such build
ings. The grade crossing is a constant
hindrance to the daily lives of citizens.
In this case 1t added the record of indirect
ly sacrificing lives by its obstruction.
Many more such experiences should not
be needed to insure the abolition OF both
evils

the portion of the hotel building at the

tion recognizing the fact that the building
occupies a conspicuous place on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, 1t is proposed to embellish
and Dignity the design by tower at the
corner. Owing to the fact that some six
additional stories Will be added to the
height of the section on the corner. the
undertaking is one that will involve a
large outlay. as it Is the purpose to start
the steel frame from the foundations.
1t Is not expected that the work will be
begun this summer. but ii is the purpose
to carry out the plans at an early date in
the future.
The property adjoining the hotel on 18th
street, which was recently acquired by the
uses of the hotel, the coal valuts are to
be placed beneath the present structure. 1t
Is not the purpose to further extend the
hotel building on 18th street.
