THOUSANDS in GOLD ! /.

Had half dozen ordinary men, es-
pecially newspapermen, had the GOLD
coin which the band of gypsies had in.
their possession as they sailed on the
Manchuria Saturday morning for San
Francisco they would have considered
themselves lucky. The scribes would
have had to pinch themselves anyway,
and they probably would not believe
there was so much money in the world,
even ii they saw it.
Several members of this wandering
band had gold. coin amounting into the
thousands, and immigration Inspector
Raymond Brown can Voueh for the fact
that what he saw in the possession of
one member of the party amounted to
more than ten thousand dollars, while
one or two others among them had like

This story is something like that Of
one gypsy who was arrested some time

the police station no asked why he had
been arrested. Told that he hadyno

into his trousers, saying no could bny

to several thousand dollars He was
discharged at once.

The elephant OF the Jardin des

tors a trick which could not have been
thought of but by an animal of much
intelligence. His house opened upon
an enclosure called the elephants

would lay himself under the water,
c~oncealing every part of him except
the very n of his trunk--a mere
speck that would hardly be noticed
by a stranger To the animals habits.
A crowd would often assemble round
the. enclosure. and, not seeing him in
1t. would watch in expectation thai
he would soo issue from the house.
But. while they were gazing about, a

Connecticut Cats.

A cat in Connecticut, finding that
she could not live peaceably with dogs
n other cats, ook her kittens in
her teeth. at a time, n scratch
ed her way up the bark OF a big elm
in the front yard, and slowed them
in a hole in the tree, eighteen feet
from the ground, that was two feet
deep, with an opening just large
enough for her To crawl through.
There she enjoyed life with her fam
lily. When she was off calling at night
she knew hat the kittens were safe.
She was in the hole from early in
August until a heavy rainstorm came
recently, and the tree leaked. In the
height of the storm she crawied out
with a kitten in her mouth. and trans
ferred II to the house cellar. With
great difficulty h carried all the
kittens. to the cellar.
Another cat disliked the c~onfne-
ment incurred in watching four kit
tens all. day. and she placed them
under q motherly hon. which was try
ing to hatch a porcelain egg in a nest,
two feet away, on the same haymow.
Then hen clucked, lifted her wings,
and welcomed the litter. The cat
went of to while away the day, re-
turning at night, and took back her
offspring. Each morning thereafter
the kittens were put off on the hen,
the cat strolled away, and the hen
entertained them by clucking to them
until the cat came back at night.
They answered to both the clucking
OF the hen n tho specific maternal
call. The hen sat IN the kittens for
about two weeks, n then they ran
away. leaving her disconsolate.- SEE
