TAMENEss OF WILD ANIMALS.
Wonderful Instances of It From an
Island Where Life Is Protected.

From the Scientific American
That wild animals become extremely
tame is we'll known The wild quail of
southern California will enter gardens and
nest there, and in the protected season 1
have seen a flock stand in a country road,
jaunty male between them and my horse,
not twenty feet away, moving only when
1 moved, and then with reluctance.
Several years ago some residents on one
of the channel islands of southern Cali
fornia introduced number of black tailed
deer, which were protected to such an ex-
tent that In time they discovered that they
were privileged characters and assumed
nearly the absolute contempt for human
beings held by the sacred bulls of India,
that crowd men and women from the road.
They persisted in entering gardens day and
night, destroying the plants, and finally
to locate them the jewellers on the island
had bells fastened to them. One buck
made his home near the town Of Cabrillo,
and walked about the place and over the
hills with the freedom of a dog When
boat landed off the pier the buck ran down
to greet the newcomers and share their
lunch, and became a welcome guest at the
barbequec and lobster and clam bakes
Nearly all animal life is protected at this
island. 1 have counted half hundred bald
eagles in an eleven-mle run, have seen
them take a large fish from the water
within easy gunshot, and they build their
nests on pinnacles that are not difficult of
approach. The sea birds are equally tame.
Gulls gather in flocks few feet from
those who feed them; in the winter flocks
Of cormorant swim into the bays, and are
so tame that they merely divide when a
boat passes, and fishermen often find that
the cormorants take off bait almost as
fast as they can put it on. Gulls dash at
bait and l have seen a long winged bird
resembling the petrol follow my line under
water at a cast, using its wings TO fly
along and take the bait, and at times
scores Of sea birds are seen inshore feed
ing upon small shrimps. paying no atten-
ton to observers photographing them.
The most remarkable Illustration OF
tameness to be seen here is that OF the
sea lions. For ages the animals have held
possession Of a mass of rock on the shore
of the islands. A few years ago many

The recent death Of Richard Sarginson

NEW WEDDING FASHIONS.
Floral Favors for Men in London.
Simpler Bridal Gowns.

From the New York Sun.
In London 1t is the fashion at weddings
to present boutonnieres to the guests gen.
orally as well as to the bridal party. These
wedding favors are. of course, Of natural
flowers and consist of buttonhole bouquets
for the men and bouquets a size larger for
the women.
They are distributed at the conclusion Of
the ceremony. while the registry Is being
signed The bridesmaids and the pages
present them, carrying them in baskets
slung on the arm. They are also distrib-
uted in the vestry.
In England lilies are a favorite flower for
weddings; In America the orchid is preferred
except for the bridal party, for whom lilies
of the valley or orange blossoms are gen.
orally provided the bride carrying a large
shower bouquet.
The bridegroom gives his left arm to the
bride when conducting her from the vestry
down to the bridal carriage, and it Is OPP
tional for the couple to nod to friends as
they pass. The best man should precede
them to the porch. remain there and see
them into the carriage
The brides mother leaves Immediately
after the bride and bridegroom, to be in
readiness to receive the guests as they ar
rive. Indeed. when the crowd is great, for
her to leave by side door is not an un-
usual thing to do in order to hasten her
arrival home.
She either receives the guests at the head
of the staircase or in the drawing room
The brides father joins her as soon as he
returns to assist in receiving.
There is very little formal leavetaking at
a wedding reception, as In days gone by.
Many of the guests leave from the dining
room and do not remain to witness the de-
parture of the bride and the bridegroom
unless they are intimate acquaintance.
The fashionable bridal gown of today is

Lady Godiva's Ride.
From the Baltimore Sun.

AS recently told, Coventry has been cele-
brating the chief event Of legend of mercy
achieved through supreme act Of self-sac-
rifice-the story of how Godiva, to take
away a grievous tax, rode unclad through
the streets Of Coventry and won relief for
the people. The town was then village of
some $50 persons, all of whom, according
to the chronicle, remained indoors during
the ordeal There was no "Peeping Tom
in the original legend-that is an invention
of a later and degenerate age. During the
reign of Henry III a charter was granted
the town for eight-day fair in celebra-
ton of the famous ride, but not till the time
of Charles II was there a commemorative
procession in which Tom found place
Since that time at intervals Lady Godiva
festivals have been frequent, and in the
celebration of August I the solitary ride
through deserted streets was represented
by mile-long procession, with 10000
Keeping Toms staring at the music hall
artist who personated Godiva. A beautiful
medieval legend is thus degraded to make
show fer the British and foreign Philis-
tine. The degradation of the touching
story emblamed in verse by Tennyson was
complete All of which leads one to reflect
that the most enlightened nations Of our
time are, after all, but few removes from
barbarism. If we judge them by such Incl
dents as this.

A great variance as to length of life ap-
pears among different animals Some In
sects live for only a few hours. while fish,
elephants and turtles are frequently CEN
tenarians. The average life of the mos
quito is three days. Toads usually live to
the age of about fifteen years, while carp
have been known to reach hundred and
fifty. Chickens live from twelve to fifteen
years; dogs to the age of ten and occa-
sionally fifteen. and parrots to extreme age
These birds have been known to pass the
age of two hundred years. Turtles are

this city, and receive answer In The Star.
$50. Why are not the genealogical
tables concerning the pedigree of Jesus
the same as found in Matthew, Iirst chap
ter, and Luke, the third chapter?
Answer. The first begins with Abra-
ham, the other with Adam. The list Of
names from Abraham to David Is the
same in both instances. From David
down they disagree. Matthew traces the
descent from Solomon (verse o. and
Luke from Nathan tverse 80, thus unit
Ing two branches of David's family. Jo-
seph, the legal and foster father. came
through one line, and Mary, the mother,
through the other, but both from the
great King David. the man after Gods
own heart to whom were promises of
most solemn import as to the Messiah.
The pedigree traced in this manner was
as important in establishing the claims
OF Jesus as an abstract is in showing the
title to a piece of property.
200. Why were the Jews called the
chosen people?
Answer. God selected them set them
apart and showed them special Iavors
that they might receive the word Of reye-
latlon and prepare for the coming of
Messiah. that through them all nations
might be blessed. He made them the
custodians of spiritual things, just as He
raised up other peoples, like the Greeks
and Romans, for other missions.

A remarkable development of the paper
clothing industry is taking place in Ger
many, and many persons express the be-
lief that before many years have elapsed
the wearing Of paper garments will be
pretty general. This sounds like a pulp
Dream so to speak, but it is state of
civilization long since foretold by Edward
Bethany, who described a country in which
the people arrayed themselves in new
paper garments every morning and every
evening, at expense no larger than
that involved in the purchase of their
daily newspapers. Everybody enjoyed the
ephemeral garments, save the proprietors
of the laundry establishments. They
were put entirely out of business. There
was nothing to wash
