How Aniirals and Vegetation Fight Against Extinction. Almost all life on the desert goes armed. In the vegetation world of the desert the cactus comes first with Its numberless species. They are all armed with long nr short, tough spines that can penetrate the thickest boot. Tbe solitary and often grotesque Joshua or Yucca, the mosquito, the cat's claw aud numberless shrubs whose names have not been written, all are armed In one way or another. Some exude poisonous sap, others nauseating odors Tbe sagebrush Is ;W)out the only one that does not seem to have any protection. In the animal klngdign most are either armed with sharp teeth, spines, odors or poison to serve to keep their enemies at a distance, while the others depend upon their fleetuess or artful skulking and hiding. The spines and repulsive Gila monster, the horned toad, the sidewinder, with Ids two horns and deadly fangs, aud its cousin, the desert rattlesnake; the tarantula, scorpion and desert bee, each of whose sling Is exceedingly painful and sometimes fatal, are among the desert’s denizens. Then there are many varieties of lizards, large and small and of many colors, which protect themselves by their speed alone. The prowling coyote, bobcat, mountain lion. Jack rabbit, cottontail, mountain sheep, lliox, antelope and an occasional deer are there. Among tlie smaller animals are the gopher, kangaroo rat, trade rat, hydrophobia skunk, ground squirrel and innumerable mice. But the traveler seldom sees any of tliese. The prospector, however, soon hecomcs acquainted with them. The first or, at the latest, second night of his stay in any one camp lie will he visited by a trade rat, which will cirry away all that portion of his outfit that is not too heavy for his ratship to handle and religiously leave some stick or stone in its place. A hydrophobia skunk will bo apt to call and iuucli from any bacon rinds that may lie lying about, not disdaining a nip at Mr. Prospector's nose if the opportunity offers. It is said and firmly believed by tbe sons of the desert that the bite of tills little skunic produces hydrophobia. The Gila monster Is seldom seen, and the writer after having spent nearly a year on the borders of Death valley lias yet tn • . . large l; • also scarce except in some favorable locality. All life on Pie desert lives by its power to resist thirst. All desert plants are so constructed that they are able to conserve and store up moisture against the time of drought. This necessity lias wrought peculiar forms of both animals and plants, and in time It also leaves its Indelible mark upon men who dwell amid its wastes. The leaves of all desert trees are small and thick, so that they expose as little surface as possible for evaporation in the dry air. The great and ever present evidence of the struggle for water is noticeable everywhere where men come together on the desert. In this struggle all who come to the desert must engage instantly. Every wagon must have its water barrels, every burro his water bags, each mail his canteen.—I.os Angeh Times.

A Flippant Critic. After the performance of Wagner’s ‘‘Rhcingold’’ at Berne, Switzerland, the Berner Fremdenbiatt contained an account of the performance which caused much comment. One German paper In reproducing excerpts from the remarkable criticism says, “In reading it we could not quite determine whether the writer was a rogue or one of the Mark Twain school who would cuter the most sacred real us of culture with savage freedom.” "The opera,” says the critic, "furnished much amusement, especially the evolutions of the merry Rhein daughters. Their tricks were charming, aud if the orchestra had played more appropriate music the effect would have been perfect. From what we had heard we expected better music. Certain parts the most tuneful ones—were reminiscent of Mendelssohn, and tins originality seemed natural to us, liecause we knew that when Wagner was the child prodigy In Leipsic Felix Mendelssohn directed the Gewaudhaus concerts in that city. All In all the opera is rattier stale, but witli tlie fine scenery and real steam clouds it was bearable. It is probably necessary that one should see this •Rhciugold’ ns well as ’The Merry Widow.’ so go aud see It.”

British America Indians. A French titled lady made a trip that took her l.fiOO miles beyond civilization in the far northern districts of British America. She went forth accompanied by only two Indian guides and penetrated to the sixtieth parallel, riding astride, tramping, paddling in light canoes, floating down treacherous. rock picketed rapids in clumsy uatlve barges and for otic period of two weeks seeing no human being except her two Indian servants. "The Indians In that region are very superstitious, very ungrateful, very independent, but very honest. I invited a chief to lyive luncheon with me. He refused. To eat In company with a woman would degrade him. He would lose caste with his tribe. In another part of the country I had some Indians and their squaws on an expedition. But the Indians would not permit me to shoot any game. One of the traditions of tlie tribe, left by some old medicine man long since dead, was that if a woman were ever permitted to shoot moose or elk game would U*come scarce and tlie squaws would become powerful and master the men. I offered them $10 for every shot I might make, but money was uo Inducement.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
Felicia packed into a little trunk her one white party dress, a r y gray dinner gown, a half dozen shirt waists and an extra hat, and away she went to town to visit her cousin. Mary Barnes. Mary's brother Roger met li r at the station. “Mary is planning no end of things for you.” he told Felicia when he had settled her in the carriage. "Slie is going to give a luncheon and a tea and a theater party and a dunce, and half of her friends are enlisted to make you have a good time, it will be a lively existence for you, little girl.” “Oil,” Felicia leaned forward. ‘‘1 shall love it! My greatest excitement for a year lias lieen a church social or a sleigh ride, and I am longing for society.” "Mary spells society with a big ‘S,’ ” Roger told her. ’’She is a slave to it, and she needs a rest. She is as thin as a wafer and as pale as paper.” “But think what a lovely time she ha*-!” Felicia said, all pink and white witli enthusiasm. ‘‘Humph!” Roger said. “You don’t know when you are well off. little Felicia.” But I-Vilela fell on Mary's neck when she reai heel fie great stone mansion. "I can stay two weeks,” she said. “The school board gave me a vacation, and I am going to have the time of my life.” ‘‘Indeed you are,” Mary said and carried her away to a d de table bedroom, where rose leaves drifted across the wall paper. ‘Til get into my kimono, and then we can talk,” Felicia said Joyously as she opened her little black bag. But Mary shook her h ad dubiom ly. "The girls are coining for luncheon la just a half hour. There are ten of them, • 1 tlie table decorations are to be in pale pink, because that is your favorite color.” “What shall 1 wear?" Felicia asked. “I have a gray gown and a white one, and the white one is for evening.” “The gray will lie all rig d with a ducky little knot of pink carnations and lilies of the valley. The florists are doing them that way now, and Roger can get you some.” Roger got tlie flowers, but the gra\ gown was not gorgeous, and be-ide Mary’s, shimmering cdiiTon creation Felicia felt deprt ^singly shabby. But the luncheon was exquisite, and the girls were friendly, aud Felicia did not have much time to think of herself, for there was a tea on luiii.edintely after, and she was carried off by Mary and Roger, wearing a long and splendid wrap of Mary's, for her own simple tailor made jacket was out of the question. “No one will notice that it is mine," Mary assured her, "in tlie crush,” so Felicia, feeling very elegant, swept through the crowded rooms and talk, i ns fast as she could to dozens of people and came out breathless. ‘‘Wasn't it awful?" Roger asked her. “I shouldn’t have gone a step if it hadn't been for you.” "It was delightful, Felicia gurgled— "the pretty women, the lights, the music, the Ices and everything.” "Humph!” Roger gnunided, and Felicia made a little face at him and said, "You’re an unsociable bear, Roger,” and Roger said. "Oh, it’s such a waste* of good material for you to spend your time witli such people when you might be talking to me, Felicia.” Felicia opened her eyes wide at that. “Do you like to talk to me, Roger?" she questioned, and Roger laughed aud said, "Yes, but you don't deserve It." Aud Felicia, feeling very much liuttered, leaned back In the carriage and peeped at Roger now and then, while Mary mapped out the programme for the next day. “We will go to the hairdresser’s ear ly. Roger, don’t you think Felicia will look dear with her hair tunreeled?" "I think Felicia looks dear with her hair any way.” "O-o-o h,” murmured Felicia from her corner. Mary laughed and went on. "There are the I leering luncheon and three teas and the art exhibit and the Colburns' dinner and a box party after, and then Hie cotillon.” “Oh. stop!” Felicia pleaded, looking at her cousin with startled eyes. “Do you expect me to do all that ia one day, Mary?” “She d.a's.” Roger asserted, surveying bis country cousin with melancholy eyes, "and where, oh, where in all that programme will you have a minute to spend with me?" "I am not worrying about that,” Felicia tokl him, dimpling, "but what am I going to wear. Mary? What am I going to wear?” "There's your white dress,” Mary said slowly. "But I can’t wear that one dress to a lunda-oii and three teas and a theater party and a dunce. What are you going to wear, Mary?" “Mv pale blue broadcloth will do for the luncheon and the tea and the view. Then 1 shall wear white lace to the dinner and the rest of the evening.” “When in all that rush will you find time to change?” was Roger’s ques tlon. Mary leaned lack In (lie corner of tlie carriage. She was very pale, and there were dark circles around her eyes. "Oh, 1 don’t know; I don't know,” she said. "Sometimes 1 feet gs If I
were on a treadKiil and no one would let me stop.” Felicia looked at her with startled eyes. -Why, I thought you liked It,” she gasped. Mary straightened up at that. on. when I get into It,” she said, trying to speak lightly, "it’s not so bad, but I have felt the strain this winter awfully." Between lushes that night Roger caught Felicia for a moment alone In the library. "Mary is dreadfully blue,” he told her. "She breke her engage merit with Bob Carruth In the sum tner. and >.he hasn't seen him since, and she misses him." "What did she break it for?” Felicia asked. “He wanted het to go south with him and settle in a liitle town where tie coy id practice medicine, and she Wouldn't up society, and now I think she regrets it." Felk la, “if i loved a man I would go to the end of the world with him!" “Would y u?" R ger asked. “Yes.” “Well, 1 am leaving for Japan next week," ingratiatingly. Felicia gm/ -d at him with intense Indignat ion tor a moment; then she turned her bu< k <ui lilui. ’Silly!” she said. Wlicn Felicia went to lied that night she was so tired that she could not sleep. The i xt morning she was a« pale as Mary. For a week the two girl ill - .'god their engagements, finishlng up a Saturday night with another cotillon. ■ I'cih in wore her white dress. It was mussed, and she knew that she wa ■ n d h '- iiig her best, but she was : • i :iv'i t she did not care. Roger h;oi s. her i btuieli of violets, and I . ii- e curd was filled with names, lint t'i ■ fact gave her no satisfaction. The . ii dance was Roger's. "E’l.i- ; ir; it?” lie asked briefly as he swung her out into the floor. “Oh, I i.i i so tired 1 shall drop,” sho said, “(’nn’t J go home, Roger?" Sli" locked so like a little weary child that lto:j u’ laughed. “Baby, he tc.iscd and then tenderly, "I'll hunt M. y up, and we will cut the rest of li." In the carriage Mary collapsed. "I did:' divutn I was so tired," sue sobbed. with her head on Felicia’s shoulder. and Roger, surveying the pair with twinkling eyes, said, "Let me prescribe." "Woll?” came hack in uiunied agreement. "V i pack your trunk, Mary,” he plRiiihsl, "and go home with Felicia, ’tf.-i lovely in the country novf', aud I’ll come up and bring Bob Carruth with me.” Mary sat up, with her face ablaze. “Bob Carruth?” "Yes. I had a letter from him yesterday. 1! -’s coming up for a visit.” Faint pink tinged Mary’s cheeks. “Do you think he will want to see me, Rover?" she asked wistfully, and Rog'-r said gently, "I know he will, Mary." So Felicia packed her little trunk, and Mary packed a larger one, ami away they wa ut to the country, where the tree were crimson and gold anil iirown and whore the air was like wine. And there Hot) Carruth and Roger followed them. "sio site is really going to marry him and live in a country town,” Roger (commented, and he and Felicia followed Mary and li.-r lover along n pith that seemed to end in a goldea sunset. “Yes.” Felicia said. “And you are going to marry me and come mid live In the city,” Roger ventured. "I haven’t promised yet,” said little Felicia. "I am afraid that some day I shnitkl l>e saying. ‘Give me again my holinw tree, my crust of bread and liberty.’ ” "You aren’t afraid of anything of the kind," Reger told her. "You know we would live happy ever after.” "Oil. well, if you tire so sure,” said Felicia as she tucked a confiding hand through his arm and looked up at him with li ■ py cos. "l guess 1 shall have to say yes, Roger.”
The Bellbird. Tlie m ist remarkable tiling in connection with lb bellbird is its powerful voice. It titters a clear metallic note that can !*> heard ut a distance of three miles, its noise* is like that produced by a blacksmith striking his anvil. Sometimes it repents its notes In quick succession, sometimes at fairly long intervals. There is uo mistake about the voice of tills bird; it Is l»ud and piercing and would be heard above the din produced by every inmate of tlu> zoo raising its voice at once. Except for a space of naked skin on the throat and around the eyes, wbleh during i •> breeding season is of green color, this bird is pure white. The contrast bi iweou the sexes In the hell* 1 fpr, w bile tlie male in pure white, the female Is brownish green. Darwin refers to tlie bellbird when he points out that “white is a \ cry rare color in terrestrial species of moderate size and Inoffensive habits-" —Fall Mali Gazette.

Once in addies'-iug a mission meeting in I'liila phia which was attend* ed mainly by ; illors the good man had sought to adapt ills remarks to his hearers by using nautical similes, and In so doing lie ventured somewhat beyond Ids depth. “And now what shall we do—what shall we do?” “Nothin' doin', eup’n!” sang out one of tlie sailors. "Ye’re in bad I Ye're goin’ in stamforemoBtr'
