MENAGERIE ON SHIPBoARD.
Some of the Animals Got Loose and
There Was an Interesting
Time for Sailors.

From Caledonia, New Zealand, there
recently arrived in Philadelphia the
Danish steamship Kronborg. Previous
to loading at Caledonia she had been
to Australia, says the Philadelphia Tel
egraph, and at the Australian port the
sailors, to man, secured pet. There
were two wildcats, a brace of vicious
tiger cubs, a kangaroo of no very
amiable disposition, a small colony Of
monkeys, and several black parrots
with white topknots.
Things were comparatively peaceful
until the Kronborg dropped anchor;
then trouble broke loose in the me-
nagerie. The wildcats developed all
their native wildness and the tigers a
thirst for human blood Even the
kangaroo showed a desire to be re-
venged upon his captors, and all sue
ceeded in making the ship an unhealthy
place.
When a wildcat got loose the unload
ing of the vessel came to a stop. The
stevedores fled from the vessel, and
for time the wildcat had undisputed
sway. Finally he was overcome and
taken back to his cage. Then there
was trouble with the tiger cubs. They
were full of fight, and did not hesitate
to give battle to all who approached.
The representative of local firm of
ship-chandlers was rash enough togo
too near the cubs quarters. Later he
was searching for a new suit of clothes,
for those he wore had fallen victims to
the tigers claws.
Nor was this all. The monkeys got
loose, and able reign of terror en-
sued. These kings of mischief invaded
the cooks gallery, and stole the meat
that was cooking for the sailors meals.
Others stole the potatoes, and ran chat
tering up the rigging and masts. The
meat-stealer hurled the fruits Of his
theft at the indignant seamen, and
those who were armed with the pota-
toes bombarded the crew and defed
all efforts at capture.
This all occurred in one day. If
many more such things happened, the
men on the Kronborg felt pretty sure
that the geological garden would re-
ceive several interesting beasts before
the ship left port.

off the battlefield l was supposed to be
dying; but, after months of hob-nobbing
with death, recovered.
Il have searched for you Genie until

Mrs. Burnham read the letter through,
drawing her breath in sharply at the close
"Can it be possible!" she exclaimed, hall
aloud; then she went to the parlor door
and listened.
But, hearing nothing, she said to herself:
Fudge! she has sense enough to be glad
alone, and | shan't disturb her. ! will go
and tell Homer
Ten minutes later Mrs, Burnham was read
ing the wonderful letter to her husband out
among the all'but-open roses, where he had
gone to prune off needless scons. And, to-
time, Miss Genie appeared looking like
she had taken the sacrament" Uncle Homer
thought, A beautiful serenity shone on her
ACE, as she said to Aunt Helen across the
table.
~ shall start south in the morning,
Runtie."
Uncle Burnham got up and, putting his
hand on the head of his niece, said, feeling
ly: ''The Lord rewards the faithful, Eu
genia. Take my blessing to your sunny
southern home!"
Thea he went out under the wistaria, lest
they should see that man like him ''cred
like a baby"
The next morning, before she bade Clear
Brook good-by, Miss Burlington tripped
lightly down the garden path to the corner
hidden by the syringa tree.
And behold! the all-but-open roses were
fully and beautifully blown; so much sa, that
the bright little faces on guard duty could
scarcely catch glimpse OF the shining face

SPECTER IN COLORADO.
Phenomena of the Brocken in the
Hartx Mountains Reproduced
at Green Mountain.

The term mountain specter"i is taken
from the Encyclopedia Britannica,
where it is noticed under the article
Halo" The best-kpown example Is
at the Rroeken in the Hartz noun
tains.
From the description of the phe-
nomenon as observed at that place, it
is inferred that the appearance noted
in Colorado was quite as distinct as
that at that famous locality. 1t was
observed February / from the top of
Green mountain near Boulder, Col.
This mountain is a high point in the
foothill belt; its summit is $500 feet
above the plains which it overlooks,
or about 1880 feet above the sea, says
Science.
On the day mentioned, after 4:5O D..
M, patches of white cloud were drift
ing below its summit. Occasional snow
furries visited the plains below. The
temperature was apparently below the
freezing point. At the hour of observa-
tion the sun, which was not more than
20 degrees above the horizon, was shin
ing clear at the summit.
Opposite the sun, few hundred feet
distant, was a mass of white or gray
ish cloud. Upon this cloud was seen a
complete circle of rainbow colors. The
diameter of the most pronounced red
ring was estimated at nine degrees.
Outside of this was faint color, and
then suggestion of red in still larger
circle. Within the nine degree red
ring were blue and violet, the center
appearing a dull lavender.
In the field within the bright red ring
appeared the shadow of the observer,
which was so definite as to reproduce
all movements of arms and hands.
Each observer saw his own shadow
and the reproduction of his own move
ments, and could see nothing of the
shadow or movements of his neighbor.
If standing more than six or eight feet
away. The phenomenon was watched
about 20 minutes.

Pressing the dish into the earth, she filled
it with water, and then arranged the burst

"Pansies," she murmured softly, touching
their surprised faces, Il leave you, dainty
little soldiers, on picket duty. Keep off the
enemy; these unblown roses, my sober lit
tie friends, are types of-of his life and--
mine full OF beautiful possibilities, but
broken off before the realization"
Then, bowling her head, she breathed
prayer that even the pansies did not hear.
The afternoon shadows were lengthening
ON the lawn and Miss Burlington sat on the
steps, humming America" and mending
wee Bobbie's flag. "The stwipes got tored
from the stars, didn't az" questioned the
miniature soldier, leaning comfortably on
his sedate cousin knee.
Eyes, Bobbie; the dear old flag has seen
lots of trouble" and her lips shut tightly
over sigh, as she fastened the last stitch
uniting the "stwipes" to the stars again.

answered, looking away over Bobbie's head
and seeing Aunt Helen coming through the

the blue eyes were lifted curiously,
"Your mamma is coming, dear" she re,
piled evasively; and away went Bobbie to
meet his mother and pour grist of ques-
tions into the maternal ear.
'Who did she march with ? Did Miss Eddy
ton dit lost? Who carried the flag; and
who drummed the big drum? And, could
he go next time if he growed whole LOTT"
But the maternal ear seemed seized with
sudden deafness, for Mrs. Burnham marched
right through the swarm of interrogatives
and. almost over the interrogator and, COM
ing slowly up the steps, sank into rocker
dusty, weary and warm. Unloosing her
bonnet strings and tanning herself with
magazine for some minutes, Aunt Helen
finally said:: 81 came around by the post
office and was lucky enough to get the mail
before they shut up. Here's your Atlanta
paper and the usual letter from cousin
Nab" and she tossed Miss Genie's mail into
her lap; then she went out to the well to
get rest up" drink.
When she came back with pitcher of
water, her niece thrust the open letter into
her hand without word and, turning away
quickly, went into the parlor, locking the
door after her.
"Well, l never!" exclaimed Aunt Helen.
"eousip's dead, or some dreadful thing has
happened, I'm sure"
After rummagng the clock shelf and
work basket for her ''near glasses" Mrs
Burnham finally found them on the table,
sin plain sight"
''0f course she wanted me to read it," she
said, settling herself in the rocker once
more and unfolding the paper. And this
letter-not Mab's-met her astonished
vision:

Of the curious Winnie was met with sol
emn shake of the head by Aunt Helen, and,
together, they went down the steps.
1t was on the occasion of the first Decora-
ton day, and all Clear Brook was out patri-
otically in honor of the brave departed.
But Miss Genie, the shy little southern girl,
who lived with the Burnhams, shrank from
taking part in the exercises.
Miss Burlington had come north at the
close of the war to make her home with

The Wastes of the Body,

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of man of average size loses
two pounds of wornout tissue. This
waste cannot be replenished and the
health and strength kept without perfect
digestion. When the stomach and diges-
tive organs fail to perform their functions,
the strength lets down, health gives way,
and disease sets up. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure enables the stomach and digestive
organs to digest and assimilate all of the
wholesome food that may be eaten into
the kind of blood that rebuilds the tissues

\ thankful confidence lighted up her coun

in the Burnham home.
By and by she put on a broadbrimmet
