the form of species of jaguar never
held In captivity. This jaguar In Of
tremendous size and coal black.
There are two rare birds In the Anna
non forests whereof no specimens have
ever been brought away-the bell
bird" and the lost soul" These names
are derived from the effects produced
by the cries OF the birds. the former
having voice likened to that of sill
yer bell and the latter possessing the
eerie accompaniment Of grooming In
such a manner as to produce goose
nesh on the unfortunate person who
hears its song.
The naturalists will also vote an ex.
preston of heartfelt thanks to the in.
dividual who will fetch them from far
on Burma a specimen of a rhinoceros

men have frequently seen his hide.
New Zealand is land Of animal mys-
teries. The most popular Of the rare
beasts whereof specimens are longed
for by the civilized world is a kind of
duck billed beast. No one seems GER

THE SQUAW'S SHAWL.
II Must Be Just So to Suit Her Fas.
tidious Taste

~ "ust DC JUST 90 TO SUIT Her Fae-
tidious Taste.
The indian wears his blanket on the
hottest summer days. His theory Is
that If 1t keeps out the cold in winter
It will keep opt the heat in summer,
says Ben NJ. Myers of Oklahoma City.
While he might not care to buy any
thing else expensive, the price of a
suitable blanket is never questioned,
but 1t would be difficult indeed to de.
celve him as to the texture of any
robe.
"a squaw will initiate almost any
thing that pleases her fancy, but in
the matter of her blanket or shawl she
exhibits an unusual amount of individ-
uallty. With great care and patience
she designs her blanket, and when she
places the order with the mill man he
does not dare duplicate it until she has
had an opportunity to wear it.
IF she makes the request that ii
shall not be duplicated her wishes are
regarded, because it is the one article
she possesses in which exclusiveness is
much coveted and also because what
would please one squaw would not ap-
pear at all attractive to another.
"The lightweight shawl or blanket is
thrown over the head of the squaw,
and unless she is able to purchase q
bright colored silk kerchief it will
serve as her only bonnet as well. 1t is
Just as common sight now to see the
papoose securely bound on the back OF
Its mother by a portion of her blanket
as it used to be to see the wee head of
the Indian babe peeping from the te-
kas, or frame cradle" - Washington

A Funny Chase.

Lord Oxford. an eccentric English
nobleman, once had team of red deer
stays that he frequently drove to II
light coach. All went well until one
day there happened to be pack of
staghounds on the road from London
to Brighton. along which Lord Orford's
picturesque team was merrily fleeing.
There followed the strangest chase
that ever mortal man witnessed. The
hounds hunted the team and its owner
smash into the Ram inn yard the
whole lot went that there was no more
coach left and little more Of driver.
Lord Oxford took 10 horses after that.

place was a Douglas stronghold.
Douglas spoke first, and he was
frequently interrupted by vociferous
applause. The cheering and the hand
clapping at the end lasted four or five
minutes. When Lincoln was intro
duced the crowd broke out into cheers
for Douglas and kept 1t up for several
minutes. Lincoln meanwhile waited
patiently.
"When at length the enthusiasm had
subsidized Lincoln extended his long
right arm for silence When he had
partly got this he said In an impress

Douglas is"
This unexpected tribute to their
friend set the audience wild with en-
thusiasm. When this applause had
run its course Lincoln, extending his
hand again. this time obtained silence
more easily.
"'What a fine presence Judge Dou-
las has,! exclaimed the speaker ear

lowed the tribute.

are! How well chosen his language

KNEW TOO MUCH.

Tennyson's Father Had to Fly For His
Life From Russia.
Shortly after the assassination of
Emperor Paul of Russia, Tennyson,
the father of the poet, dined with
Lord st. Helens, the British ambassa-
dor, in Moscow. Several Russian Off
GERS of high rank whose names he did
not know were also guests. During
dinner guarded reference was made
to the emperor's death.
why do you speak so gingerly
about a matter so notoriousT cried
Tennyson impulsively, leaning across
bis neighbor, Russian whose breast
was covered with orders. 1--WE know
very well in England that the Emper-
or Paul was murdered. Count Zoboff
knocked him down and Bennington
and Count Pahlen strangled him"
There was strained silence; then
the ambassador abruptly changed the
subject. As the guests filed out into
an adjoining room Lord st. Helens
drew Tennyson aside. "Don't go into
the next ROOM" he whispered, "but fly
for your life. The man next you,
across whose breast you leaned, was
Count Pahlen. and Zoboff was also at
the table"
He gave a few hurried directions,
and Tennyson rushed off. threw his
clothes into a pOrtmanteau and fed
behind fast horses to Odessa, still in
evening garb. though the cold was in
tense. He lay hidden for weeks and
at last. in the disguise of a servant,
was smuggled on board an English
frigate.
