Recent experiences undergone by
young Mr.. Isaac Apperstein furnish
forth a story of pertinent interest, and
much food for philosophic comment, as
well. Young Mr.. Apperstein was a
telegraph messenger. who retained for
his own use and purposes. some $4,000.
which he had been sent to collect from
a bank. The money was paid him
in large bills. and the youthful finan-
cier Jared gaily on his way. probably
intent upon concerning the sweetmeat
and cigarette markets.
To his utter dismay, he found that
with all that money on his person. he
was worse than penniless. Nowhere
would anyone change his large bank
notes; and within "a hours. the boy
found himself in imminent danger of
starving to death: while his pockets
bulged with bills of 500 or more in
denomination.
Presently he was taken into custody:
and he has since been heard to ex-
press some highly original views on
public confidence and taken money.
His experience was an interesting
one from several points of view. one
cannot but wonder as to the action of
the tobacconists and restaurant keep

legal tenders for value received.

Weeds that are Wholesome.

Since the pure food law has gone in

The big cats of the world. such as
the lions. tigers and pumas. receive
their full share of attention. but the
felines of lesser size are fully as in

collection Of these We see all sorts and
sizes. colors and proportions. each ex-
quisitely fitted for carrying on its
life in its particular way.
One species which is almost always
on exhibition at the New York Zoolog-
ical Park is the sevral or tiger cat of
Africa. About as large as a moderate
ly sizedly sized dog, its most striking
characteristics are its large ears, long
legs. and short bushy tail. The color
is variable. ranging from brownish-
gray to orange tawny. spotted and
streaked with black. AS it walks, its
hind quarters are much higher than its
shoulders. All these characteristics
are full of meaning when we can read

the habits of the animal.

grass. although it can climb well

always sleep and hunt together. and at
night they creep forth. and after Il

on the nightly search for food. And
here We come to the most interesting
habit OF the serva1. revealed in its
high rear quarters and long. slender

even young antelopes, and such birds
