Cuban Cave-Fishes.

An interesting addition has re
Gently been made TO the Natural
History museum, South Kensing
ton, London, by the receipt Of
specimens Of some of the blind
cave-fsheS Of Cuba. The special
interest of these fishes lies in the
fact that their alliance is with
saltwater forms which exist in
the neighboring sea, and not with
fresh-water fishes. as is the case
with Amblyopsis and its allies of
the great cave Of Kentucky.
There can be little doubt that the
Cuban caves in which the blind
fishes are found were formerly i'm
communication with the sea, and
that the ancestors of these fishes
entered the caves from the ada.
cent ocean.

TOYS OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
Baby Days of the Late British Ruler
Recalled-Exhibit at Kensing-

The toys and playthings of
Queen Victoria, which in their in
trinsic value do not compare with
the priceless jubilee presents, will
appeal to the sentiment of all who
see them, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. They are at the replica
of the Orangery at Kensington
palace, the birthplace of the
queen.
When a child she spent many
happy hours in the quaint old
building, designed more than 200
years ago for the famous Queen
Anne.
Some of the dolls bear the
marks of the affection lavished
upon them by the little princess.

HE GETS A MONEY ORDER.
With the Money lie Doesn't Want to
Spend When Out with
the Boys.

''One of the queereSt things |
ever heard Of" said young man,
who sometimes keeps late hours,
relates the Providence journal,
lis the action of friend of mine,
who has Il knack of saving, despite
the fact that sometimes when ne
meets friend he celebrates too
much. He always, after he has
had few drinks and realizes that
he will take more before the end
of the evening, takes an account Of
stock, as you may say. He finds
corner somewhere and there
figures up the amount of cash on
hand. Then he starts for the post
office.
"When he gets there he buys a
money order, payable to himself,
for an amount equal to the great
err part of the sum he has on hand.
This done, he mails the order to
himself, and then, certain of saw
ing that much of his money, at
least, through the evening, he
starts out to resume the joyous oc.
cupation of enjoying himself. 1t
is a great scheme, and one never
heard of anyone else using. 1t
works very we'll, indeed, with him.
| have seen men give a part of
their money to bartender TO take
care of for them, but this scheme
of buying a money order for your
self beats that. And you can get
a money order at the Providence
post Office any hour of the night,
now"

Children Labeled for Travelling.

The practice of labelling chill
dren and sending them across the
Atlantic, addressed as parcels,
would appear to be getting rather
general. A number Of children so
labeled have passed through
Queenstown from time to time
lately. From the Dominion liner
New England, which has arrived
there from Boston, was landed a
little boy not quite nine years old.
He was addressed to his uncle at
Kilkenny. He had travelled from
Chicago unaccompanied, and had
been transferred just as a parcel
would be by the various forward
ing companies through whose
hands he passed,

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
Only One Pair Was Ever Made and
That Was Very small-Inter-
esting Glove Lore.

y report comes from COpenlla-
gen that great rat hunt has beer
organized there, and that the
skins of many thousands Of the
victims are to be used in making
gloves. If the rat hunters in the
Danish cCqital cherish any such
hopes, says the Pail Mall Gazette,
theI are doomed TO disappoint-
ment.
Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves ut for commerce. The be
lief that valuable raw material
is being neglected here survives
only in the minds of the ineXpert.
The glove maker knows much
better. a Norwegian merchant
once came to England and in
formed well known glove maker
that he had collected over 100. 900
rat skins and was prepared to re-
ceive offers for them. He was
fully convinced that the skins
were suitable for glove making.
But the manufacturer found that
the largest skin was only some
six inches long, and he held up a
kid skin for the smallest size of
glove, a child's, which was eight
inches long, and asked how he was
TO cut such a glove out of a rat
skin.
Then he took up the smallest
kid skin for lady's glove, II inch
es long, and when he asked how
that was to be cut out Of rat skin
the Norwegian merchant laughed
at the idea and went away disap-
pointed. The best offer he got
for those skins, which he had col
lected with so much care, was five
Sbillings a hundredweight from a
man who was willing to boil them
down for glue.
\ famous glove making firm has
a collection of curiosities relating
10 the trade, and one of them is
the largest pair of gloves ever
made out Of a rat skin. The be-
lief that such skins could be made
into gloves was laid before the
managers so confidently that they
resolved to put it to the trial. and
they ordered a number of skins of
the largest rats which could be-
found in Grimsby. But the rat is
fighting animal, and bears the
marks of many battles on his
body, and it was found that the
skins were so Scared and torn
that il was with the utmost diff
Guilty that perfect pieces large
enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end, after ten
skins had been used. pair Of
gloves was cut and made. and
they are retained i'm the collection
to this day. But they are so small
that they would only fit the small
est Of small boys. Thus it was
shown that, however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained. they
would offer no advantage to the
glove maker. The rabbit skin is
equally useless for the purpose,
and humane people may also dis
miss from their minds the fear
that the skins Of pet dogs are
made into gloves. The dog skin
glove of which We used to hear is
made of nothing but the skin Of
the Cape goat.

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure
from Unexpected Sources-A
Clothes-Reel Comedy.

The Italian immigrant has q
happy gift of extracting pleasure
from unexpected sources, so many
commonplace objects of his new
home are yet wonders to him. a
woman who lives in a pretty SUI
burban residence, the long garden
of which runs back to small
court upon which a row of tene-
ment houses has just been erect
ed, discovered this recently when
she found a group of dark-eyed,
dirty little boys dancing ecstat-
ically on the platform of her
clothes dryer.
They were cheering on daring
cOmrade, who was clinging to the
outer crOsS-bar of the reel, relates
he Youths Companion. One of
his mates had set it spinning, and
the other boy was dizzily gyrat-
ing alOft, mingling his excited
of joy with the creaks and
grOans of the overburdened ma
chine. Even as she looked there
was din ominOus snap, and the N.Y.
ing cherub came suddenly to earth
at her feet, where he sat softly
himself and staring up at
her, too dazed to cry. For the sake
of their own youthful Zones she
thought it a case for severity, and
began to scOld the intruders az
sternly as she knew how, cOnclud-
ing rather helplessly with an inn
patient, "Whatever made you do
such a silly thing, anyhow? An

"Bullafuna, signOrinaw whim-
pered the fallen one. And it was
not until the remark was trans
lated by an Irish yOungster, who
was peeping through the fence,
that she learned what the Italian
lad meant.
Sure, he says it's bully fun"
the Irish boy interpreted.
Arguments and remOnstrances
quite failed to overcome the dan
gerOus fascination of such a de-
lightful gymnastic apparatus. The
woman had finally to take it down
and resort to the ancient and in
clOthes-line instead.
y far funnier case of perverted
entertainment occurred lately in
a Connecticut town in which the
drawbridge tender complained TO
the police that the Italian resi-.
dents had fallen into the habit Of
riding on the draw as if it were "a

A BIG TREES LIFE STORY.
Wonderful Recuperative Power of a
California Forest Giant-Record
in Its Rings.


A letter by William Russell
Dudley to Senator Q. II. Platt. ac-
cording to the Detroit Free
Press, says
\ remarkable rccuperativc
power following an injury was
found after examination Of the
SequOiaS Of the Converse basin.
The effects of certain tremendous
forest fires occurring centuries
ago are registered in the trunks
of these trees and the record
completely concealed by subsc
quent healthy growth. Among
a number of similar cases the
most instructive record of these
ancient forest fires was observed
in tree of moderate size-abour
10 feet in diameter feet from
the ground. 1t was go feet i'm

This tree when felled had an
enormous surface burn on one
side 30 feet in height and occu-
pying Is feet of the circumfer-
ence of the tree; this was found
to have ben due to Il fire occurring
in \. ID. 1897. The tree when
cut, in 1900, had already occupied
itself for 103 years in its efforts
to repair this injury, its method
being the ingrowing of the new
tissue from each margin of the
great black wound. When the
tree was cut the records of three
Oher fires were revealed. The his
tory of the tree was as follows:
