SKINS OF WILD ANIMALS.
Many Are Becoming Scarce and h. x creasing in Value.

Many Are Becoming Scarce and h.
 $l creasing in Value.
 Skins of wild animals are daily be- coming more rare and valuable. The spread of civilization is the exter- imitation of the monarchs of the plain, the forest, the jungle and the hills, and their hides now ornament many mu- scum, clubhouse and drawing room.
 The skin of the. lion, the king of beasts, is among the most valuable of the rare skins. It is gingly, even as was the animal himself, and reveals the great strength and courage of the mighty form that it once protected. The skin of the full grown lion is about three yards long and one and one-half yards wide. Its hair is neither bright nor pretty, but its great shaggy mane crowns it like rare jewel and makes it valuable.
 . The skin of the tiger, is much pret- tier than the skin of the lion, and it, too, reveals the character of the beast which it once protected. It's bearded cheeks reveal the tigers ferocity and cunning, and it's yellow and black tiger stripes and it's white belly tell of the stealthy nature of the great cat, ..

belly and its spots instead of stripes. The leopard, too, has a pretty pelt, its fur being light yellow with black spots. The skin of the black panther is also much admired
 Bear skins are trophies in many a civilized home. The black or the Cana dian bear is the most common. The polar bear supplies beautiful, soft, white, furry skin, but it is very rare. The skin of the American grizzly is now also quite rare. Although deer and moose are common game for hunt CTS, yet few have succeeded in preserv- ing their pelts with the fur on for any long period.
 A coat of skins of reindeer lawns on- ly few days old is said to be worth thousands of dollars. The skins match perfectly in coiorI and they are dou- bled so that the coat is the same inside as outside. This coat Is as light as an ordinary raineoat. but warmer than heavy fur, and it is also waterproof.
 Some skins of Manchurian tigers are also valuable, One skin is 14 feet long. A monster skin is that from 2,2O0 pound grizzly; it measures IA feet long, and the bears head is two feet thick. Some rabit skins from New Zealand may also be seen, though rabbit skins are not as rare or valuable.--Shoe aud Leather Reporter, '-'+' ''+

CAsTELLANE RIDES AGAIN
Daredevil Loops the Loop and the Cap
 Successfully.

Daredevil Loops the Loop and the Cap
 Successfully.
 Daredevil Castellane, who fell and was injured in his daring bicycle ride at the White City Monday, rode again last night for the first time since his accident, and completed his marvellous loop-the~loop and loop-the-gap act with perfect success. A great ttirong gath. cred to see him, as it was given out in the afternoon that he would ride and hundreds went in from the grove to see him. The little Italian demon said aft- CT his ride last night that he does not expect any more trouble and will do his trick every afternoon and evening for the remainder of the week.
 The act is not the single looping-the- loop or looping-the-gap: 1t is combin- ation of both and Is seen in New Eng land for the first time. In his meteoric flight Castellane flies, while seated on his bicycle, through what he pIeases to call two volcanoes of fire, and they are volcanoes, or as near them as the hand of mortal man can make them. It is a fearless and fascinating feat of cool courage, of hazardous risk and almost superhuman skill, and the only one of the kind in the world.

 This city of Zanboanga, at the ex- 'treme end of the Island of Mindanao, is considered, and justly Sd, the Met ropolis of the Orient outside Manila. This station is the most desirable. it is held by many of our army, to be had in this part of the world. Besides hav- ing a pretty healthy city, the post is being greatly improved. By June 1 quarters now being erected for the cheif quartermaster. Major David S. Stanley, will be ready for occupancy. The garrison lies one side along the bay. These quarters will house the de apartment staff; the rear yards running into the bay directly; then, a beautf- tul parade ground. with grass and shaded by magnificent cocoanut trees. separates the opposite row of quart CTS that are occupied by the line off, cers.

Stanley, holds 8 reception, which has become leading feature in the social life of zamboanga. Dainty refreshments are served and every one has a happy time. Although the Moro population throughout the Island of Mindanao are generally savage and troublesome,
  mediately around Zamboanga are most peaceful. A suburb, known as Moro town,' inhabited entirely by Moros, is ia clean, healthy, thriving looking lit- tie town. A building bearing the inscrip- tion over the door of ''The Moros Ex- change marks the market place. Zam- boanga has the distinction of growing the largest cocoanut groves in the en- tire world. Beautiful drives are shaded on each side by immensely tall cocoa- nut trees. They also extend for miles along the bay.
 General Leonard Wood is absent from his station here just now, being in Jolo conducting the fight against the Moros who have been making life a misery for the inhabitants of the Sulu archipelago. When General Wood found the Moro sultan would not come to any terms of peace he took the field himself, commanding attachments of 14th> Cavalry, 7th, 22d and 23d Infan- try, starting rom Jolo. With General Wood in command everyone feels a sense of security, knowing a speedy and just solution of this dangerous Moro question will now be definitely attained.

Mary c., the siX-year-old daughter
of Presbyterian clergyman in small
Georgia village, had a playmate, jim
my by name, of whom it was her Gus
tom to make special mention in her
evening prayer at her mothers knee.
One evening, after some childish quar-
rel, Mrs. g. noticed that the boys
name was omitted from the petition
and said. MARY. aren't you going to
pray for Jimmy tonight?"
NO, mother He's IA mean, hateful
boy, and I'm never going to pray for
him any more
Her mother made no reply, not wish
ing to add fuel to the flame, and decid-
ed to allow the youthful conscience to
work out the problem in it's own way.
In few moments she heard the little
girl climb out Of bed, fall upon her
knees and say in a tone of guarded
Indifference;

First European Almanac.

It is said that the first almanac print
ed in Europe was probably the Kalen-

was Calculated for the years 1415,
1894 and 1913" In Budapest it was
published. Though it simply made men
ton of eclipses and the places of the
planets for the respective years 1t was
sold for 10 crowns of gold, and the en-
tire impression was rapidly disposed of
in Hungary, Germany, Italy, England
and France.
The first almanac-recorded as the
first known to have been printed in
England was translated from the
French and appeared in 1897, Each
month introduces itself in descriptive
verse, as

He was theatrical lover, and she
didn't like his style in the least.
He was constant in his devotion,
however, and that made matters
worse She had tried gentle means to
get rid of him, but he had disreSarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
he felt it incumbent upon him to pro-
pose to her, as men under similar cir
cumstances so often do.
Dear one" he exclaimed, hurting
himself tragically at her feet, Il love
you. My life is yours. viii you take
it,"
She did not look like a murderess.

calm determination Il Will"
He gazed at her rapturously.
Don't do that. she begged, drawing
back from him as If in horror. Il have
taken your life, as you requested me
to do, and you are henceforth to all
intents and purposes dead
He seemed dazed.

Ged. turning aside, desire to nave

do not go away at once | shall send

his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed
himself with promptness and dispatch.

Think of others.

A gentleman who was travelling In
Ireland sat down one day in 4 cottage
to talk with IN old woman As they
were having their dish Of discourse
there came a clap OF thunder ana the
old woman at once spread out her
hands in supplicat.on, crying;
"God bless and save us. And save
his honor ana save the people and an
of us,"
For the space Of half an hour the
thunder was frequent ard each time
she prayed Then she told the visitor
this story, which has good moral IN
its defining Of TIE proper spirit when
should belong to prayer:
"Tbere was a man. and he was work
ing in a field like. and II came on to
thunder. and he put his head in hoie
in tie wall. aud he said:
".God save what's out o me!
But he ouzht to have prayed for the
whole Of him. for he no sooner sala
that than the wall fell and took ms
head off
at was telled to me that his was q
judgment on the crathur because II is
not right to pray small. just for your
siif. But yon should pray larse-to
save ITS ali-nray big and open hearted.
But thar may be only a story, sir"

JAPANESE NEW YEARS.
Day of Religious Rites and Spe-
cinIIy Prepared Dishes.

ctQlIy prepared Dtshes-
To Il devout Japanese breakfast on
New Years day is religious rite ratl-
err than vulgar satisfaction of the APP
petite. says the London Chronicle. No
ordinary dishes are consumed mt this
meal. The ten must be made with wa
ter drawn from the we'll when the first
ray of sun strikes It, a potpourri OF
specified by law forms the
staple dish while at the finish Il meas
ure of special sake from red lacquer
cup must be drained by whosoeVer de-
sires happiness during the coming year.
In the room Is placed an "elysian
stand" or red lacquer tray, covered
with evergreen leaves and bearing Il
rich dumping. lobster, oranges, per
simmons, chestnuts, dried sardines and
herring roe All these dishes have a
special Specification. The names Of
some are homonoymus with words OF
happy omen the others have an allie
gorical meaning. The Holsters curved
back and long claws typify life pro-
longed till the frame is bent and the
beard is long; the sardines, which al
ways swim in pairs, express conJugal
bliss: the herring is symbolical of a
fruitful progeny.
These dishes are not intended for con
sumption. although in most cases the
appetite is fairly keen. The orthodox
Japanese not only sees the old year out;
he rises at to welcome the newcomer
and performs many ceremonies before
he breaks his fast
