London's Kinka.jou.

A new specimen of this curious lit.
tie bear-like creature from South
America has just been added to the
collection of live beasts in the Regents s
Park. The kinkajou has the odd char.
acter of looking like almost anything
in the mammalian line rather than
that which it actually is. The older
biologists suspected it to be lemur,
by virtue probably of its large eyes
and generally lemur-like head. 1t is,
however, of the bear kind, and lives
among trees, holding fast by its pre-.
hensile tail. If the tail be grasped in
the hand-care having been previously
taken to ascertain that the sentiments
of the kinkajou itself are friendly
it will do what the crocodile in "Sylvie
and Bruno" did, and that is, walk up
its own tail. After this acrobatic
feat there is perhaps no further need
its merits to disclose. - Westminster

| One of the most original of belts and
also a necklace We're finished during
the week for a woman who is enthu-
siastically interested in Indians and
their progress. An Indian slversmith
did the work, which was in copper,
and after it was completed the mate
| rial for gown was selected and made
up to go with the ornaments.
| These latter were of fanciful disks of
copper, the copper used being all
United States pennies. There were
thirteen large disks in the belt, each
made of twelve pennies. An idea of
what was required was given the In
| dian workman, and he made his own
, designs The necklace was of smaller
disks, each made from a penny, but
| thinner and larger in circumference,
| and made in design to match the
belt. The necklace was rather long,
falling to the bustline. The disks Were
not fat, but raised little in the centre,
and in the beautiful red OF the copper
after it had been worked, delightfully."-
effective.
To wear with the necklace and belt
gown of golden brown cloth was
bought which exactly suited the orna.
| ments. The work was so entirely salts
factory that the originator of the idea
Immediately ordered another belt and
| necklace for friend. Indian workmen
do not always work by scale, and the
| disks of the second necklace We're
Slightly larger than those of the first,
and the chain was made longer to give
| 1t better proportion. The woman
who received it, not caring for this ex-
| ira length, had several of the disks
| removed and sent for three more to add
to them, and this gave her bracelet
of the copper. The set of belt and
necklace cost about $50.
The only person who was not pleased
| with the work when it was completed
was the Indian. He is a Navajo, and a
particularly intelligent man, but he is
| silversmith, and he does not believe
in working in "the red," as he calls the
| copper, and which he considers to be
very commonplace. AS a ma tier of
| fact, the Indian work in copper is more
| artistic than that in silver.-New York

Eel Spearing I'm Winter.

Nearly all the eels in market in win.
ter show the marks on their sides where
the spear has pinched them. Eel spear
ing goes on everywhere there is ice
strong enough to bear, muddy bottom
and salt water not too deep to permit
Of handling the spear.
The spear which generally finds
favor is the Sag Harbor pattern, con-
sisting of dull, oval blade in the CEN
tre and three, four or five barbed
prongs on either side. None of these
members is sharp. Their intention is
not to penetrate the eel, but to straddle
him and hold him as would a pair of
spring forceps.
The owner of spear affixes 1t to q
spruce pole fifteen or twenty feet in
length, and, armed with an axe, goes
out upon the ice, carrying a feed bag
to hold his catch. A hole is cut through
the ice in likely place, and the spearer
begins to jab the mud at the bottom in
a systematic manner.
If he is an expert he can work
through an eight-inch hole and probe
every foot of bottom in n circle ten
feet in diameter. When be strikes an
eel the slightest motion of the creature
imparts a thrill to the pole, which is
communicate to the spearer. The prize
is then drawn to the surface and
slipped into the bag. or. if the weather
is extremely cold the eel is allowed to
lie on the ice and stiffen
Eel spearing seems to be considered
as sport by some who indulge in 1t,
but with the mercury at ten or fifteen
degrees, and nppng wind blowing
down the river, it is difficult for the
tyro to see just where the sport be-
gins.
1t is profitable, however. and that is
probably the reason why so many men
can be seen on the ice in the Hacken-
sack River, prodding the mud with
their long poles and drawing them
up through their reddened hands-New

THE SONG AND THE DEED.

There was never a song that was sung by
thee,
But sweeter one was meant to be.
There was never a deed that was grandly
done,
But greater was meant by some earnest
one.
For the sweetest voice can never impart
The song that trembles within the heart.
And the brain and hand can never quite do
The thing that the soul has fondly in view.
And hence are the tears and the burden of
pain,
For the shining goals are never to gain.
And tha real song is ne'er heard by man,
Nor the work ever done for which we plan.
But enough that a God can hear and see
The song and the deed that were meant to

Order of the Silken Cord.

In Turkey diplomatists can take
''silll" like lawyers in England, but in
the Ottoman Empire it is the result of
dismal failure, and it takes the form
of cord. After the civil servant has
received it, the subsequent proceedings
of his own country or elsewhere inter-
est him no more. One of the latest
recipients of this emblem of the "happy
despatch" is the whilom military at.
tache of the Sultan in Berlin, Hamdi
Bey. This gentleman seemed to get

to return in haste. The news caused
a great sensation throughout Germany,
but especially in the social circles of
Berlin. The explanation given was
that his nerves had become shattered
and his reason a trile unhinged. He
had gone, his compatriots said, to a
remote part of the empire to vegetate
and get better. Then the intelligence
came that on the way to his place of
Punishment he had jumped overheard,

eating when she wakes couple Of lit

rolled in sugar. This traditional
breakfast of Japan is completed by

brought on red lacquer tray, is the
drollest affair. The viands are in tiny
cups with covers and among them are
such dainties as hashed sparrow, q
stuffed prawn, salt sweetheart, sea-
weed with sauce and q sugared chilli.
After these dishes, which are mere
"frills," the substantial part Of the
meal is begun. A wooden bowl, bound
with copper, is brought in, filled to the
brim with rice plainly boiled in water.
From this the flower of Japan fills her
bowl-a capacious one-and, having
mixed it with black sauce favored
with fish, she.then lifts tito her mouth
and Grams it down with the aid Of her

AUTO CLIMBS A TOWER.
De1hagen Performs o Most
q. Remarkable Feat.

A curious performance was late
~ accomplished by an automobile in
Denmark. Copenhagen possesses a
circular tower 100 feet in height,
which was formerly used for astro-
nomical purposes. Its top IL only
reached by ascending q spiral pas
sage II feet broad which winds be-
tween the outer wall of the tower
and an inner circular wall. From
the base to the top it is entirely
without steps, and the gradient is
seven inches per ell. An automobile
OF five-horse power, weighing 200
pounds, and carrying three persons,
assembled the TOWER the other de-.
taking one minute for the journey,
and afterward making the much
more dangerous descent with equal
success. 1t is of interest to recall
that the Car Peter the Great, on
visiting Copenhagen in 1716, made
the same ascent and descent in q
carriage drawn by four horses.
