The Brazilian capybara Is a large stoutly built rodent. Imagine rat weighing 2sO pounds with q huge head an upper lip a foot long and close set eyes and one has an idea of the beast He is the largest of the rodent tribe and has harsh. coarse hair. more like bristles than fur. This hair is mixed black and yellow, of dingy appearance. In his native haunts the capybara has a huge, fat stomach which almost drags on the ground. He is a water loving animal and can dive and stay under for eight or ten minutes at a time. The jaguar of South America preys upon the capybara, and the h. dianS kill him for his flesh, which when smoked is said to be as delicious as Kentucky ham, although it has a certain husky flavor. The capybara makes a sound when alarmed some- what between 3 dogs bark and q pigs grunt, He was once called the hydro choerus, or water hog. and lives on a vegeta ble diet

 SLIGHTLY BETTER
RECURRENCE OF THE FEVER HAS TAKEN A MILDER FORM AND IS NOW ALMOST UNNoTlcEABLE TO THE DOCTORS.

Vienna, October 17.--The condition of Francis Joseph this evening is as fol- lows:
 The catarrhal affection is slightly bet ter, yet the coughing is frequent, dry and violent The recurrence Of the fever has taken much milder form and now amounts to almost unnoticeable changes in the temperature of the patient. In spite of these Improvements the general condition of his majesty Is not quite sat- isfactory because he experiences fatigue more than he did yesterday. The fore going information is obtainable from a trustworthy source. It differs somewhat from the official communication given out which represents the patient as improv- ing daily with satisfactory heart acton and strong pulse.
 A semi-official statement given out to- night says.
 The hoarseness of the Emperor has en- tirely disappeared, and he is able 10 speak distinctly in an ordinary tone of voice without effort. His appetite is good. his spirits are much better and his appear ance has greatly improved.
