The Nlraa of Ancient ErNni.

Messrs. Lortct and Iugouncng have
recently investigated the mummifed
remains of Egyptian fishes to discover
the different ancient species, and now
Messrs. Lortet and Gailard have done
n corresponding work for the birds.
1nese mummies fall into two classes,
the mummies of the ibis and those OF
birds of prey. The mummics date
some from the Roman. some from the
Ptolemaic period. Thirty eight species
have been recognized and named, most
of which have been previously known
as mummies. IL is interesting to note
that the white ibis of ancient times
was very much larger than the cor.
responding bird of our own day whose
habitat is the upper Nile region.

Two Things to Avoid.

Two things are to be avoided in the
most popular house-furnishing schemes
of the times, the Colonial and the
Flemish, if entire success is to be at.
tained This is, too often with the
first named, in seeking the clear cool
backgrounds and graceful furnishings
consistent with the Colonial period
and from which this style of decora'
tion derives great deal of its charm

scheme by the other extreme. and
make it only gloomy and heavy by a
too oppressive massiveness.

Flying Before the wolves.

IL Is not long since two well-dressed
strangers rushed into lonely shanty
on the Yellow Beaver Lake, In Canada,
the inmates They had been padding
along the lake shore, and had missed
the inlet which led to where their tent
was pitched.
They had been followed along the
shore by pack of six or seven wolves.
half way around the lake. The cum
ming animals had only drawn back
from the chase when the lights and
sparks Of the shanty came into view.
The men In the shanty agreed that
they had heard wolves several times
lately and that 1t was well for the
two hunters that they had reached safe
shelter.
Then | wonder at your leaving your
horses out at night" remarked one of
the strangers.
Horses Why, there are no horses
here, and won't be until the frost set
ties in"
Certainly" said one of the hunters,
there were two horses right at your
door, and they walked into your stable
as we came along"
Catching up n lantern some of the
men went out to the newly built open
stable, and found two large COW moose,
blinking at the light, and apparently
quite prepared to spend the night in
safe quarters. Evidently the poor
things had sought refuge near their
human enemies In preference to flying
before the pitllcss wolves.
They were dripping wet 1t was no.
tlced, and had probably been driven
across the lake by the pack whose
liowls were even then to be heard.
Instinct warned them not to get away
from the water, so long as their four
footed foes were In the vicinity.
The lumbcrers shook down Il good
feed of new hay and laid some grain
before the fugitives, before setting up
the doors which were scarcely finished
and carefully closing them In for pro-
lection that night. At last accounts
the sagacious creatures were still about
the shanty, and had become almost
tame enough to be handled.
The two human visitors remained
with the men as guests until the next
Sunday when the whole gang of men
accompanied them ten miles on their
journey and left them ut the station
farm. where horses were to be hired
to convey them safely homeward. The
wolves had discovered the camp of the
hunters, devoured all the catablcs, and
torn tent and spare clothing to tatters.

Spring Millinery.

Many shapes in hats are worn AZ
present, but the majority are fiat and
broad. The trimmings are low and
add 10 the breadth, and the hats fortu-
nately look equally well with the hair
arranged high or low. For the spring
there will undoubtedly be quite a no
ticeaOle return 70 the higher crown,
but for the moment the low crown Is
the ruling shape. White lace hats are
worn, lnapprOpriately, with velvet and
cloth gowns. but are in reality only ap'
propriate for reception or theatre wear

| Waltham, and is at present about thir- ty-eight years old. Graduating from | Harvard in the class of 1886 with hon. OTIS in English literature and compost ton, he became connected with the Dali ly Advertiser as literary editor. He re- mained in this position only little more than year, but during that peri cd he exhibited such critical acumen, both in literature and the drama, that his friends predicted fur him a brilliant future; but no one would have ven- tuTed to foreStall such rapid and signal advancement as has come to him. He
 left the Advertiser to make a summer
 tour of Europe with his friend, the Rev.
 Samuel Longfellow; but during his ab-
 sence he was engaged by an English il-
 lustrated magazine to consume the en-
 suing winter in an expedition through
 Egypt, and the Greek islands Return
 ing to Boston, he resigned his position
 and set sail again to fulfill this new en-
 gagement The success which he
 achieved in this enterprise was of the
 most pronounced character, and several
 magazine articles upon miscellaneous
 topics which followed in quick success
 sion from his pen-note bly one on the
 difference between Englishnen and
 mericans-attracted great attention
 to him. Thus far MT. Fullerton had
 followed his chosen career. His ambl-
 tion was, when he left Boston, to fit
 himself for professorship in English
 literature in Harvard college. But the
 editor of the London Times invited him
 ot,1xy f,xyn ye;xr +,,,n ,txyt years of age, and, above all, an Ameri- Can-to become leader writer. That
 his work met the appreciation of the Times was shown when, at the begin ming of 1891 he was sent to Paris to write the literary, dramatic and social news of that gay capital, and to assist the most celebrated journalist in Flu rope, the famed De Blowitz. One of MT. Fullertons pet accomplishments outside his strictly journalistic work has been what he calls a dramatic exposition and application to single and little known people of the scientific method sketched out in his Patriotism and Science published some years ago by Messrs. Roberts Bros. This little known people is the Druse nation in Syria, and his study of it in this histor- ical novel culminates in the young Turkey movement of to-day. Before taking up his pen Mir. Fullerton read widely and deeply everything he could find relating to the Druses. and was greatly aided in these preparatory stud ies by Prince Emin Arslau, one of the young Turkey leaders, a member of an old Druse family, and an earnest pa triot as well as a brilliant conversations alst.

THE ZEBRA'S STRIPES.
They Serve Two Purposes, to Make
 Him Visible and Invisible.

They Serve Two Purposes to Make
 Him Visible and Invisible.
 Firstly, the zebra is striped because it is to his interest to be conspicuous. Sec ondly, he is striped because it is to his interest to be invisible.
 Strangely enough, not only are both these statements strictly true, but one may further say that no other kind of celebration would protect the zebra so we'll During the daytime zebras usually graze in small herds among the stunted trees and bushes of the African uplands. They do not place sentinels to watch against their foes, like the wild sheep and the chamois, because usually there is no commanding spot available where a sentinel could overlook the surround ing country.
 Their method consists in each mem- Der of the band keeping an eye upon the movements of his fellows as we'll as keeping a sharp lookout for himself. If a proWling leopard approaches the herd, one or other of the zebras is pret- ty sure to perceive the danger, and the others take warning by observing his start of alarm. Hence it will be seen that the more conspicuous each mem Der of the band is the more readily do his warning movements catch the eyes of his fellows, who at once take the hint and save themselves from being eaten by good use of their legs.
 It is at night that the zebra specially desires to be invisible Most African beasts have to travel far for water and are obliged to slake their thirst during the darkness at spots where lions and other enemies are in the habit of lying in ambush. Now it has been found that in the twilight the dark and light bands upon the zebra become indistin- guishable, being blurred into neutral tint, which blends wonderfully with that of surrounding objects
 This is markedly the case that a hunter has stated that he has been so near a zebra in the twilight as actually to feel his breath, yet was quite unable to perceive his form. If the zebra were piebald like a circus horse, instead of being covered with narrow stripes, he would be sufficiently conspicuous to his friends in the daytime, yet obviously such markings would not protect him at ssisIlt, for the contrasted colors would still be plainly visible to his foes.
 Hence we see that it is literally true that the zebra is striped, not only be- cause he wants to be seen, but also be- 'ca.use he does not want to be seen.-- Pearson $ Magazine.

States embassy that the German cruis-
ers Amazone, Ariadne and Niobe are

explained that the cruisers are not go

val law of 1900 requires that six small
cruisers shall remain attached to the
first squadron OF battleships. There

the volcano has been in dangerous ac-
tivity during the past week. There
have been severe eruptions and ashes
have been thrown out. but have fallen
out over the regions already devastat-
ed and evacuated. During the night
rumblings have been heard and the
central cone appears incandescent. It
falls frequently and reforms in different
shapes. The smoke rising from the
crater is sometimes three kilometers
high Vessels are advised not to ap-
proach the coast.
According to the latest news, how
ever, Mont Pelee is somewhat quieter.

CARRIES THE STRAIN

Quite a strain on a child to
grow. You find it about all
you can do to live along as you
are and keep well. Your child
has to do all that and grow be-
sides. Some children can't
stand the extra strain. They
get weak and sickly as a result
of it.
This S where SCOTS Emul-
sion does some OF its best
work. 1t is a strong grow
ing" medicine. It starts up
new life in the backward child
and strengthens the weak ones.
SCOTS Emulsion takes all the
extra strain and carries the
children along until they are
strong enough to stand it
alone.
