she paused in her rapid movements long
enough to watch the pups as they played
with each other, although the Frightening
Of her eyes suggested ambiguous emotions
and indicated that only the unyielding
iron fence stood between the little wolves
and a tragedy that would have stamped
her as five times a murderer of the help
less; though she may only have been
onyious of the happy family, living in sharp
contrast with her own lonely life.
Whatever may have been her feelings, il
was significant that the well fed wild cat
in the cage on the other side studiously
kept as far away as possible from her
sharp claws. The "bob-tailed' cat is a
handsome fellow and when he isn't lazily
doing in hunger-satisfied Indifference to
the stern limitations of his prowling
nature, he is sharply cycling every bird or
chicken that comes within his view. The
tiny dog of one of the keepers caused the
cat almost to forget the observant eye of
the mountain lion. The cat looked as if It
would have enjoyed playing with the lit
tie dog until ready to eat it.
The beautiful red and silver gray foxes
in adjoining cages appeared to take life
very easily and not to regret their cap
tivity. They showed no alarm at the close
approach of persons to the cages. Prob
ably their regular supply of food has made
them Indifferent to the pleasures of the
chase.
North of the wolf family are five deni-
zens of the western prairies, two coyotes
and three badgers. The coyotes have not
abandoned the sneaking habits of their
kind, although every time they hear the
whistle of a locomotive, and, at other
times, too, they how and bark with that
wonderfully deceptive and multitudinous
bark which, when heard on the silent
prairies at night, convinces the mex
perienced that there are hundreds of them

A CRAZY PROspECToR.

An unfortunate man was brought in
from the vicinity of ST.. Simon and
placed in jail, pending an examination
before the Probate Court as TO his
sanity Nothing yet is known OF the
identity of the unfortunate man whose
reason appears to have been dethrOned.
He was discovered wandering about the
hills without any clothes whatsoever,
Besides this erractic notion OF radical
departure in dress and fashion reform,
he at times appeared possessed of the
fear that he was being pursued and
sought places of safety and hiding.
while again the heeting fancy moved
him to chase an imaginary man who
was watching his movements and thus
locate a rich discovery. the secret OF
which he guarded 1t is thought the
unfortunate Is a prospector He Is not
regarded as dangerous. and it Is prob
able that his condition may be due to
a temporary mental alteration. which

vitality of Hebrews.

II the future population of the earth
is TO be estimated on the basis OF race
vitality. then there Is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be in the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
Is greater than that Of any other Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race, and they GER
tainly are. Whether it Is due to the
sanitary measures cuJolned by their re-
ligion or because OF native vitality Is
for students Of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
of the race. and it Is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
ly wiping out race dlstinctions.-Bos-
