A UNIQUE Pet

The wife OF the governor OF North
Borneo has a pet that few people will
envy her. The governors house is
near a jungle, and ont OF this there
strayed one morning baby rhinoceros.
Captured as curiosity, he soon became
tame, and now refuses to return to his
wllds. Sixteen quarts OF milk day is
what this pet requires, and on it he
thrives and grows fat. He does not
look much like the. full grown rhin-
oceros, and might be mistaken for a
curious sort OF hog. were it not for his
single horn. He is devoted to his mis-
tress and follows her about like her
dog; but this is trait that cannot be
indulged in very long, as he has lately
taken to growing and will soon be too
cumbersome for civilized establish
ment.

Captain Stayely. of the Clumberhall,
OF the Furness Steamship Line. has
recently been n visitor In the vicinity
OF Great harrington, and has told an
exciting story Of sea monster which
he encountered on his recent voyage.
On voyage form San Francisco tc
London the captains attention was
called to large sea monster, heading
four points on the port bow of the
ship. The monsters color was of large
blotches of black and sort OF sand
and gray In between. The monster
was OF whalback shape. and fully 200
feet long. the highest part OF its back
extending nearly twenty feet above
the sea surface. After approaching
the steamer the animal remained on
the surface for few minutes and
then hurried away. Captain Stavely
did not see the two extremes OF the
monsters body. After arriving In
London Captain stayely learned that
tho sea monster had been previously
reported by steamer that had passed
1t on moonlight night. During his
visit In Berkshire the captain took the

Of agricultural science. The secret Is

Egypt is the scene of these success.
full agricultural experiments.
The farming is carried on by the
Egyptian Government at the School
of Agriculture at Gizeh, not far from
Cairo. The students are high-caste
natives and are allotted each quar-
ter Of an acre. Water pumped from
the Nile is furnished the student farm
er, and he is taught when and how
to distribute it over his miniature farm
of sugar cane, cotton. forage plants
and tropical and semi-tropical fruit
His canals. dams. and little reservoirs
are conducted and operated scicntihcal
iy.
The school leases the land by the
year at $50 an acre. and the student
is given the use of his quarter-acre
plot ut a prOportionate rate.
The revenue from one of these iii.
putlan farms has been n surprise to
agricultural experts, and would be an
amazing revelation to many British
farmers, for whom Il quarter of al
acre scarcely affords space for imp.e
ments and barns.
Although their experience is all
gained from their miniature farms
these Egyptian students are develop
ing into such expert agriculturists
that they are receiving offers to accept
the management of extensive sugar
and cotton plantations elsewhere.

The Biueiay,

One may pet or patronizc, accord
ing to ones nature. but he is indeed
well coated with self esteem who doe'
not feel sense OF inferiority in the
presence OF jay. He is such shrewd
independent and aggressive creature
that one is inevitably led to the belief
that he is more a success as bird than
most men are as men. Conspicuous BY
voice and action during the autumn and
winter. when other birds are quietesi,
he becomes silent when other birds arc
most vocal. Ii he has love song, il %
reserved for the ear OF his mate. AZ
this season he even controls his fond
ness for owl batting and with It hi'
yituperative gifts. The robin, the cat
bird and the thrasher seem eager to
bctray the location 'of their nests tol
every passerby, but the bluejay gives no
evidence OF the site OF his habitationl
by being seen in its vicinity.

Transplanted into paradise
Adorn immortal bowers.

Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice of birdike melody
That we have missed and mourned so long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no deathl although we crieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
We say that they are dead
They are not dead! they have but passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here,
Into the new and larger lie
Ot that serencr sphere
They have but dropped their robe Of clay
To put their shining ralment on:
They have not wandered far away
J They ore not lost or gone
Though disenthralled and glorifed.
They still are here and love as yet;
The dear ones they have left behind
Z They never can forget.
And sometimes. when our hearts grow faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep:
Or when the wildly raging waves
OF grief or passion sweep
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath Of balm,
Their arms enfold us, and our hears
Grow comforted and cam
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is L:fe;--there are no dead!

or, In language that we can all under

earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current, and in passing through

Caracas, Jan. 10.-The port of Tue
acas was reOccupied Thursday by the
forces Of the Venezuelan government
after a fight with the revolutionists of
n hours duration. Tucacas, which
Ia about forty miles northwest of
Puerto Cabello. has been occupied for
the past four months by the reyolu-

ton struggled over from the island OF
Curacao have been landed.
The revolutionary force under Gen
eral Ramos, which was defeated last
Sunday near Guatire. has dispersed.
The march Of the rebels upon Caracas
via Guatire has been completely

The revolutionists succeeded in
holding the English railroad running
out OF Tucacas for five hours, at the
end of which time the government
forces occupied the line.
The government is most active in
pursuing the rebels. Another engage
ment has taken place near Corocoa
and resulted in the routing of the en-
envy. Octavio Marquee and 1870 men
were taken prisoners by the govern
ment soldiers, who also secured q
quantity of rebel ammunition.

FRANCE WILL NOT JOIN.
Rumor She Would Take Part in vene-

Caracas, Jan. 1O.-The statement
that France, owing to the failure of the
Venezuelan government to pay the
hrst installment of the claims due her,
probably would join the other powers
in blockading the coast, is not true.
France will not at present participate
In he blockade. The rumor that she
would do SO probably arose from a dis
cussion of the fact that the convention
OF 1902 between France and Vene-
zuela for the settlement of French
claims incurred prior to May %, 1899,
~stipulates the payment Of 5000, 900
within one year. AS a matter of fact,
this period of one year is to be reck-
oned from the date upon which the
French minister to Venezuela presents
his credentials al Caracas; and the
French minister has not yet arrived
here.
