ImmortelleS.

The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1900 persons. The immortelles
are gathered about the beginning
of October, and come chiefly from
the arid hills in the middle and
south of France. They are
brought to the markets in their
natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white, and woven into wreaths by
special workmen in readiness for
All Saints and All Souls DAYS,
when all good Parisians visit their
relatives graves. On these ssfetes
des morris" the gates of the GENE
teries are beset with crowds of
dealers in immortelle wreaths,
wire crosses and bead crowns.
At Pere la Chaise alone more than
100000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale of
immOrtelle wreaths varies from
10000 to 25,000.-Golden Penny.

HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its Own
Peculiar Method of Selling
Its Prey.

Those who obtain their knowl-
edge of how wild animals pounce
upon their prey, be it a human
being or a fellow brute, from
the picture books will have to
revise their ideas if they are
made true to life. Most of the
conceptions are entirely wrong,
according to the statement of a
close student of such things.
'In Selling their prey tigers
and lions almost invariably go
for the throat" he says, though
in one or two instances that have
come under my notice of animals
killed by tigers they have eyi.
IDENTIFY first been hamstrung.
These, probably were the victims
of young and inexperienced IL
gers. | once saw man charged
and knocked over by panther
and he only saved his throat by
putting up his arm, which, as
well as his shoulder, the animal
grasped with teeth and claws.
"Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part of
the animal and that he shields
it from injury by every possible
means in his power. It is, there
fore. very unlikely that he would
expose it in the act of charging.
My experience, limited though it
be, points to the fact that an
elephant, once he has made up
his mind to charge, curls up his
trunk tight.
"Bisons and buffaloes when
they charge invariably poke
their noses in the air and com
mence running at you with their
heads we'll up, much in the man
ner of domestic cattle, and only
lower their horns when within a
few yards of the object of their
attentions. This take to be Il
mere matter of common sense
on the part of the animal, for if
he puts his head down, say even
40 yards away, he could not pos
sibly see where he was going.
'Bears when wounded will
often get on their hind legs and
dance about from sheer rage and
will also at times do so in order
to get Il better view of the where
abOuts of their enemy, but when
they charge, whether it be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
variably charge on all tours.
''In charging most animals
give vent to certain vocal sounds
-grunts or roars-and this, it
is natural to suppose, is done
with a view to terrifying and de-
moralizing the object they are
attacking-in fact, more often
than not it is mere bluff on the
animals part. Ishaye often seen
tigers roar when charging who
never really mean mischief and
who when met by a bold front
turned off"

The Kings Coach.

The young king of SPANS state
coach is drawn by eight pure
white horses with white plumes
and white harness, says Chums.
Plumes wave from each corner of
the coach, and there is crown in
the center.
