FEEDING ZOO ANIMALS.

There is part of the Zoo that the
public is not allowed to visit 1t
may surprise many to know that
ner of the gardens an inclosed space
where horses are examined, and often
kept for some little previous to being
slaughtered. Disease cannot be de-
tected SO easily in the carcass as in
the live animal, and were carcasses
bought the possibility of the car
nivora becoming infected would not
be nearly SO remote as it is now.
The only case in which the Zoo re-
ceives a carcass is where a horse,
street. has to be slaughtered at once.
If it has a healthy record the Zoo
authorities do not refuse it.
Not only in this way is much care
exercised in the choice of horsefesh.
but when a carcass is cut up 1t is
divided in such way to insure that
In each piece given to the animals
there is a bone. Otherwise the lions.

swallow the piece whole. which would
be bad even for their iron diges-
lions. The presence of the bone COM

beautiful morning to the music OF
Aunt Mays knock on her door.
Get up. little girl, get up" she
cried, almost as excited as Ethel her
self.
Ethel found dressing easy, with
some one to button her shoes and
comb her hair and fasten her dress.
Then mamma and papa came. also
very much excited, and Ethel was
hurried down the shady avenue, past
the hothouses and geranium beds. to
the further end of the lawn. on which
she had not been allowed to play
for many weeks.
AS she reached the geranium Dor
der she suddenly stood quite still and
uttered q little shrek. There before
her rose a miniature of her own dear
home. It was perfect little house,
set back in lovely garden, laid out
in fascinating flower beds. There
was pretty fence around it, just
like the home fence, and a little iron
gate.
There were gay rockers on a dear
piazza, and Ethel went wonderinyly
forward, pushed on by Aunt Mary.
She looked through the front door
into perfect little sitting room. with
rattan furniture and lace curtains
in the windows and a cunning tea
stove with . pipe going out through
the real roof. Just like the one in their
biz. old fashioned home kitchen.

TEN LITTLE INDIANS.

How would you like to go to school,
where the roll-call is like this:
Sophia Little Bar, Annie Red Crane
Lizzie Spider. Kis-toe. Gray Cloud
Laughing Face, Delay Ankle, Joseph
White Plume, Frank Yellow Bird,
Porcupine Creek?"
All these are the real names taken
from the catalogue of a very famous
schoo! for Indians at Hampton, Va.
l am told that sometimes the little
redmen become dissatisfied with
their picturesque titles and try to
"Americanize" their names. And it
is on record that one Shawnee lad,
who entered the institute as Tommy
Wildcat. appeared afterward in the
catalogue as Thomas W. Gait. -

HOUSE IN THE GARDEN.

Ethel had a July birthday. She
had celebrated nine birthdays in hel
short life, to the accompaniment OF
birthday cakes and candles, and flow.
ers, and candies. and dolls. and doll
carriages. Indeed, so many good
things had come to her that even
mamma and papa began to rack their
brains to find some sort of surprise
for the tenth anniversary of their
only little girl.
Aunt May put the idea into Mrs.
Gordon's head.

laughed Mrs. Gordon.
''If you'll give me leave to carry
it out, I'll show you what can be
done. I've seen the dearest little
houses, but they cost money.
VERY we'll. go ahead" said Mrs.
Gordon. LAS long as Ethel is pleased
I'm not counting the cost"
So Aunt May went to work, as she
always did, with her whole heart and
soul. But no one knew what she
had done in the two months time
before the birthday.
Ethel opened her eyes on a clear,

Ethel was speechless with delight.
No little girl ever had present more

there for many years, and Ethels own
children play there now in the long
summer days.

Getting Rid of Drudsery.

Nausds 'llN star.
Many of the letters coming to this Of

short essay ON "How TO Get Rid OF
Household Drudgery," protest against
the use of the term "drudgery" "The
word involves a mental delusion," one
woman writes 81 would suggest" am
other says. "that the sooner we women
get It out 9f our heads that it is drudg-

belief that lit is not drudge-y to 10

All this may be freely admitted. The
management OF a home is about as I'm.
portant vocation as the world affords.
But to grant this fact is not to deny
that there may be drudgery in the work
that ought to be got rid Of 1t is better

AN IMPORTANT POSITION.

IT HE Dover Delawarean calls attention to the
n fact that the office of Secretary of State is
one of the most important positions TO be filled
by the new governor This position has been
commonly regarded as a personal appointment
OF the governor The Secretary of State holds
confidential relations with the chief executive, is
or may be his chief advisor and in some instances
years ago the secretaries largely moulded the al
miuistrations of governors.
1t does not follow. however, that the secretary
should exert such influence Much depends in
this respect upon the governor himself And we
fancy that Governor-eect Pennewill. when he as
sumes the high office TO which he has been
chosen. will be the governor in fact well as in
name lie is amply equipped for the perform
ancc of all duties that may devolve upon him.
Mr. Pennewill has been a life long resident OF
Delaware lie is of an old Delaware family, one
OF whose members is an honored Judge. Mr..
PenncNill himself has served in the State Senate,
and few men i'm the State have had more expert
ence with public affairs of Delaware.
Although the position of Secretary OF State is
a subordinate one it is place OF high import
ance. The secretary, as the Delawarean says,
has duties to perform other than those OF con-
hdeniial advisor TO the governor. The secretary
has the oversight OF the granting OF charters. lie
is a member Of the State Board OF Education, a
member of the Board OF Pardons OF the State
Board OF Supplies and is second in line OF sue
ccssion to the governor.
good appointment, therefore, is desirable,
and we have no doubt that Mr.. Pcnnewill viii
weigh all these considerations when he appoints
his Secretary of State.

tinue to be handed out of the stamp

will probably come from collectors, who
will be anxious TO bring their collec-

want stamps to mail a letter or news
