ANIMALS THAT OWN LAND.
Acres Upon Acres of Fertile Country
Inhabited by Fine Herds That
Roam UnmOlested.

Very few tourists discover that
the Cranbury herd of British wild
cattle in Warwickshire, which are al
most the only ones left of their kind,
have settled on them 300 acres of
good fat pasture land, absolutely
their own, and worth about $4,000
Neither they nor their owner will al
low any trespassers on their estate,
and only the herdsman is tolerated
by them, says a London exchange.
This land runs to about ten acres
per beast, and they + the sole sur
vivors of the old English race of
wild cattle-perfectly white-with
the exception of one other herd, and
a couple of representatives in the
zoo. They have a stream of their
own, and their estate is walled off
by a ring fence. Unless they all die
out-which is unlikely, for there are
80 of them, increasing slightly every
year-the land will never be put to
any other use.
There is a very proud old family
of beavers in Butte, Scotland, which
Lord Butte introduced there a long
time ago, and they have 100 acres of
charming woodland of their own,
with a river running through it, and
nobody but themselves is allowed to
enter or build there. They have in
creased to 40 families, each family
having a house three feet high of it's
w building, with the front door
under water. They have the ex-
elusive right of telling timber on the
estate, and have cut down a great
many big trees, which they slice up
for building purposes, and to make
dams across the river. They keep out
weasels, rats, and other vulgar out
siders, and altogether are very
select. The land is worth about $4,000
and the beavers themselves possibly
$1,000 more, but they are not for
sale, and never will be. Their chief
amusement is engineering, and the
dams they build and the houses they
erect are perfect masterpieces.
They have an advantage over the
bustards of Norfolk, which OWE
more land, but have not been there
long. These birds, which have the
distinction of being the biggest Brit
ish feathered creatures, were once
plentiful in England, but they died
out, and a new family of them has
been imported from Spain. They
have been inclosed in 200 acres of
land of their own, with the right to
roam as far as they please, and they
are especially protected, it being un-
derstood that they r not to be
shot at, wherever found. There were
about 30 originally, and they We're
brought over at a cost of $3.50.

although she will never again see three
score years. q trust if this story
should ever reach the eye of the ma
tron of the old ladies' home, she will
not think too much of it, for my old
lady with the roguish look told me the
story herself and 1 should sorely re-
greet to have her disciplined through
any 'tattling" of mine.)
1t was at a time when RIP Van Win
kle was one of the chief attractions on
the boards. My roguish old lady had
not seen the play since the days when
life for her was far more lively, l sus-
pect, than at present.
The more she thought it over the
more she wanted to go. She knew that
it was against the rules to go out of an
evening, and sinful even to think of
such a thing as stealing away without
leave. But the impulse grew upon her
continually as she sat swaying back
and forth in her chair by the window.
More than once she counted the pieces
of money that had come to her at odd
times and which represented the labor
of months with her needles. The
amount was large enough to buy one
of the cheaper seats. AS she realized
this She became more and more ex-
cited. She could think of no one whom
she could take into her confidence, for
fear that the chance might slip away
from her forever-she did want to see
Rip Van Wrinkle once more! Finally
she concluded to confide in Martha,
the girl in the kitchen-and Martha
Martha fell in with the project! From
that time forth only scheming and
planning and whispered consultations
and significant looks! My little old
lady got into the habit of taking her
knitting into the kitchen so that she
could plan with Martha.
AT last a night was agreed upon
At the appointed moment my conspir.
ator crept softly down to the kitchen
True to her promise, there was Martha

The two slipped cautiously out the
back door and no one was the wiser!
My little lady sat %entranced, watching
Joe Jefferson in that role which nc
one can play SO well as he, the veteran
actor of it. Then, when the play was
over, she allowed Martha to lead her
silently back to her fpme. She felt
guilty-but supremely satisfied. AT
the kitchen door she carefully took of
her shoes and, with these in hand,
stole softly away to bed, muttering to
herself: My, want it grand!-but
hope the matron don't go an find M,

An Interesting
Family of Old Ladies

When you have finished your visit
you promise, perhaps, to return some
time and read t. her, and then you step
across the hall and rap, wondering who
will open for you. Another little lady,
rather stopped. with a little gray
fringed shoulder shawl crossed upon
her bosom, says of course she'd like
to talk to you and insists upon your
taking the easy chair.
Apropos of patchwork (Which is in
cidentally mentioned), out from their
hiding place under the bed come two
long boxes which, when opened, dis
close two many-hued, beautifully
made crazy quilts. The one made in
octagons is very superior in workman
ship and design and might well be
termed the "Prize Quilt" The other
goes by the name of "Star Quilt" A
century hence it will be quite impos-
sible to duplicate them.
This little lady has a secret which is
between ourselves and, it is to be
hoped, will not be divulged until the
proper moment. However, one may
hint, I suppose, that Something's is be-
ing made for somebody" who is soon
to leave the home never to return and
go "way out to California;"
Perchance, way up on the third
floor, a round, beaming little body
who contrives to get about, with the
aid of crutches, will meet you in the
hall and invite you to her room, which
is a front orner one, with two large
east windows in it. Here, instead of
the regulation white iron bed and hair
mattress, you see an old-fashioned,
peaked, wooden bed with a mountain
of feathers to lie on. AS for the regu-
lation bed, she couldn't be comfort
able on "them hard things" and the
matron has humored her to the ex-
tent of securing for her a generously
full feather tick.
But the great scandal of this home
is not yet told. You viii hardly be-
lieve, dear reader. that any of these
old ladies would be sup to pranks,"
but I must confess that such is the
case. We who have young blood and
freedom are fond of the illusion, are
we not, that old people enjoy life bet
ter when they are held under strict
surveillance? That no notion could be
further from the truth than this, the
following incident will show.
I have noticed a roguish look in the
eyes of the heroine of this incident,

ones mission be that of helping to
renew from ones own %storehouse
the old ladies' stock of silk patches,
books, newspapers or magazines; of
making purchases from among the
array of crazy quilts, hand-knitted
mittens and other products of the
never idle needles piled by trembling
old hands; or ones purpose be sim
ply that of Frightening a lonely hour
for the little old ladies and for ones
self by reading, singing or engaging
in light, rambling conversation.
Old ladies of almost every nation
ality are to be found in this home;
but without regard to the fact that
they Ire gathered together here from
every quarter of the globe, they are
bound together by a band of sisterly
unity.
Of course they're women" and
sometimes a forgetful member will
mislay her comb; many are the specu-
~lations as to its whereabouts; a search
is made-under the bed, the dresser,
through all the boxes-and finally the
verdict: 81 guess it's stole"
Age loves regularity and dinner is
usually served on time; but it is
recorded that once, in the absence of
the cook (who had held her position
there for IL years., dinner was delayed
some 20 or 80 minutes; speculations
everywhere, hurried visits from one
room to another, watches and clocks
examined and compared with one an
other, consultations of grave impor-
lance; and serenity again established
only after an exhaustive explanation
on the part of those in charge!
The dear old ladies! Each of the
three-score has a bright, cheerful
room, furnished and cared for by her
self and mutely expressing her indi-
vidual taste and ideas of home. The
room are uniform in size and on the
door of each is it's number and the
name of its occupant. At the rap OF

the visitor there is always the cheer

One little white-haired, lace-capped
lady with glowing brown eyes lifts
herself from her bed-from which she
seldom arises for any length of time
extends her hand in welcome and bids
you be seated with a cordially which
warns your heart and suggests those
days in childhood when people lived in
sight of fields of waving grain and
were always glad to see you. You are
surprised to hear her ask concerning
current affairs-on which she makes
a great point of learning your views.
She is partly blinded, the news read

many years has been abandoned, and
she CLEANS all that she can from her
visitors. Hanging about the walls are

she has many, many boxes, of various

THE ANTS AND THE LOWER
Defenses of the blossoms Against the
DepredatiOns of the
InHectA.

When an ant comes around. all the
honey-bearing flowers shake their
heads and say: Nothing for you
not to-day. No, no; go on away. Get
out, now, Dr. I'll set the dog on YOU"
Some defend their blossoms with reg
ular chevauX de frise of bristles and
stickers; some make their stems gum
my and hairy; some, like the snap
dragon, shut up so tight that an ant
cannot get in, and make the flower
stalk SO dingle-dangling and SO slip
perry that the ant falls off. Some open
early and close early, knowing that
bees arise betimes, while ants are
notorious slug-a-beds, says Ainslee's
Magazine. But that there is a deter
mined purpose to boycott the ants is
evident from the fact that amphibious
plants growing in water where en-
NETS cannot get to them omit the de-
lenses they throw up when they grow
on the land. On the other hand, some
plants recognizing the fact that ants
are great for destroying worms and
caterpillars, set out a kind of cheap
luncheon for them on the under side
of the leaves. The acacia even goes
sc far as to grow hollow thornsa as COM
pany houses for the ants, as we'll as
furnishing them sweet sirup. But I
think the smartest trick of all is played
by the melampyrum pratense. Itknew
that the soil on an ant hill was more
than usually fertile and we'll stirred
up, so it sat with it's head in it's hands
for a long time and thought out this
plan of action. "Ants like honey. Tll
squeeze out a little for them. They
think the world and all of their young
ones. I'll make my seeds look like
their %cocoons, and, more than that,
1H make them smell like their 90.
coons. They'll carry 'em under
ground, and when spring comes they'll
sprout.' 1t worked like a charm, and
you will find the melampyrum p~ratense
growing on ant hills where no other
plant is allowed. 1t looks like a low.
down trick to play, but where there
is so much competition it doesn't do
to be too particular.

SCHOOL AND R

A new scheme of study in the Bal
timore public schools provides for no
home work in the four lower grades.
A Paris periodical asserts that
France has more Catholic missionaries
than all other nations combined
$500 out of a total of CLOG.
There are more than $4,000 Indians
and Eskimos in Alaska, of whom 1900
are Professionals, 1875 are under the
care of the Greek church and about
500 are Catholics.
An anonymous donor is reported to
have given 100000 to establish a
p~rofessorship of the Chinese Ian
guage and literature at Columbia uni
versity, on the ground that our in
creasingly intimate relations with
China demand a better acquaintance
with her language and her classics.
A sanctimonious bore, whose hobby
was anti-Catholicism, went to the
great evangelist one day and put the
direct question: "Mr. Moody, do you
ever intend to do any preaching
against the Catholics?" Eyes, I may
some time" ssWhen will hat be?"
"After all the Protestants are con-
verted."
The latest compilation of the lists
of social settlements of the world
shows hat there are 1O7 in America,

in France, two in Japan, one each in
Germany, Holland, Austria, Moravia,
India and Australia. London has 30,

ton II.
DR.. Theodore William Richards, as
sistant professor of chemistry at
Harvard, has declined an offer from
the Prussian government of Il full

believed hat it is the first time that
a full German professorship of the
highest type has been rendered to an
American teacher.

THE CUBAN GUEST ROOM.
Comforts Provided for
Visitors.

The guest room of the Cuban house
is startling to an American visitor,
and frequently it takes considerable
time to become accustomed to the
hammock netting that takes the place
of a mattress. A thin pad is spread
between this netting and the sheet,
the pillows are impressionistic in
their limpness and the covering is
but a sheet and a light counterpart.
But it us the bed canopy that looks
most formidable to unaccustomed
eyes. All sorts of midgets and flies
would make the Cuban night unbear-
able were it not for this closely
woven, much founced, tented canopy.
Beside the bed is a little marble
topped stand, upon which is the
earthen jug that keeps the water cool
without ice, but which never pleases
the American visitor as well as the
national pitcher bearing it's glacier
of frozen comfort, says the Boston
Journal.
While the hotel cooking in Havana
impresses one as being far below the
ordinary, in the Cuban home the cook
ing, which is of the modified Spanish
style, is to be had in perfection. The
service is exceptionally simple and
the foods chosen are light, fish and
salads being much in favor. Cooking
is done in the Cuban kitchen entirely
on charcoal stoves and oil is exclu-
sively used for frying. Grapevine
leaves are the garnishing as we use
parsley and crosses, and the favorite
dessert of Guava jelly and cheese is
served on a leaf.
Then there are sweets in profusion
and always the somewhat heavy cof-
fee that accompanies every meal and
is served in. the afternoon as we serve
five o'clock tea. The green salads Of
Cuba are an inspiration, crisp, tender
and with a fragrant freshness which
makes them a most tempting food in
the tropical climate. The Cuban host
ess dresses and serves the salad at
table.
At that hour the city seems to
wake; volantes flash along the Prado
laden with graceful Cuban women in
flmy gowns and the %coquettish man
tilla that they retain with their
/ American dresses. The band plays
in the public park, and it is then that
the Cuban senoritas may be seen with
their duennas in attendance, for,
married or single, the younger Cuban
women are never ~unescorted.

The Harvest BelI.

A quaint but dying custom dating
from the middle ages, and which still
obtains in a few country parishes, is
that of ringing the harvest bell morn
ing and evening. The time varies i'm
different localities. For instance, at
Dritfield, in Yorkshire, the bell rings
at five in the morning, while at Willing
ham, in Cambridgeshire, it rings at
seven; and the times too, vary in the
evening. Authorities differ as to the
origin of the custom, some a~ntiquaries
holding that the morning and
evening prayers in the Roman church
were held earlier and later in the har-
vest time, hence the cleaners bell.
Others maintain the use of the bell is
that all cleaners may have a fair start,
no one being allowed in the fields be-
fore or after bell-ringing; in fact, that
the custom is similar to the signal
given to the collectors of yraick in the
Channel islands, a custom sanctioned
there by an old Norman law. The
ringers were formerly paid by a Dor.
ton of corn from each crop, but pay
ment is now usually made by money.
