They were all women and girls, not a man among them, so it could not he a wedding—some with babies in their arms, others with children trotting at their sides, the little boys wearing ponchos, the women and girls dressed after the Paraguayan fashion of skirt and camisole, everyone barefooted and with a black shawl or square of white cotton draped over the head. They advanced with laughter and gayety, almost on a gentle run; and the young woman who led the cortege carried on her head a little coffin enveloped with linen embroidery, edged with nanduti lace, and strewn with fresh red roses. It was an angelito. a “little angel,” and therefore no cause for sadness, for throughout all Spanish America the death of a child is considered rather a matter for rejoicing. So, while the bells clattered more merrily than ever, the joyous group passed the turnstile, traversed the cloisture of the church and halted

beside a shallow hole

Looking into it we saw that its sides were a sandwich of different layers and strata of bones and broken coffins, smooth! v ut by the spade, and that the he; ; fresh earth beside it contained . icul 1 or two (one with long black I ir i mging to it), some old joints; ! m .rrow bones, a baby's shoe, bits of coffin, shreds of clay-soiled grave clothes, and other recuerdos of the forgotten dead. A gravedigger, wearing a long, brown-striped poncho, placed the rose-strewn box containing the angelito into the hole and proceeded to shovel the dirt and bones in upon it, incidentally pushing in the hairy skull

At the beginning of each chapter the first letter is very large, usually two or three inches long, and is brightly illuminated in red and blue ink. Within each of these capitals is drawn the figure of some saint, some incident of w'hich the chapter tells, is illustrated. There are two columns on a page, and nowhere is traceable the slightest irregularity of line, space, or formation of the letters. Even xinder a magnifying glass they seem (lawless.

When the last touch was given to the last letter the old man reverently kissed the page and folded the sheets together.

tropical animals, especially the A friean. In hot weather I have watched the polar bear go into his tank, and then, instead of lying in the shade, extend himself in the direct rays of the sun, where the water on his skin would evaporate. He found out for himself, I suppose, that evaporation causes a lower temperature. Again, it is somewhat astonishing, at first, that our polar bear should suffer sometimes as he does from the severe void of winter. I have seen him shivering on one of those bitterly cold days, when the sky was overladen and the air full of moisture. The moisture was evidently what affected him. In the arctic regions it is so cold that the moisture is frozen out of the air. Birds do not like the heat. It makes them perch with drooped wings. Heat affects not only the animals in the garden, but the finances of the garden itself. A difference of ten degrees in the thermometer, say if it is ninety-five instead of eighty-five, means a loss of several hundred dollars in our gate receipts for

the day.”

A Valuable Lantern. A will written with a pencil on a shingle was once adm itted to probate in the United States. The author of “Gossip of the Century” tells a story still more curious. Two British soldiers, comrades, while talking over the chances of war on the eve of a battle, agreed that whichever of them survived the other should Inherit all his possessions. To insure the carrying out of their agreement, they made their wills. As paper and pens were not at hand, they scratched their "last will and testament" on a horn lantern with a rusty nail. The battle was fought, and one of the comrades was killed. The other man, in course of time, returned to England, ' art'd.pg II *c.i g ,.' v.>v Hu took it to Doctors' Commons, where it was proved and allowed. Then it appeared that the poor fellow who had died in battle had, without hearing of it, inherited property yielding two hundred pounds a year, and the legatee under the horn-lantern will received the inheritance.

A Wonderful Watch. A mechanical marvel lately exhibited in St. Petersburg is a musical watch which was m;.de by a Russian peasant in the reign of Catharine. It is about the size of a hen’s egg, and contains a representation of the tomb of Christ, with the Roman sentinels. On pressing a spring the stone rolls away from the tomb, the sentinels fall down, the angels appear and the holy women enter the sepulcher, and the same chant which is sung in the Greek church on Easter eve is actually performed.

COURAGE OF THE FOXHOUND.

The AiiimHl'M Knclurance Depend* Much I’pon C’ompanioualilp of Itn Kind. The foxhound’s courage is not shown when in isolation. No hound alone will attack a fox with the determination of a terrier, yet the passive courage of the foxhound is declared bj' the London Spectator to be immense. To see lagging hounds come up through a field of horsemen, to watch the pace with which they charge the thickest fences, and the endurance they show during a long run will convince most of this. We heard once a curious instance of combination supplying courage. A pack of English foxhounds were taken to France for wolf hunting. But when a wolf was roused each hound, as he caught the seenL dropped his tail between his legs and refused to follow. When, however, some French hounds used to the wolf had been added to the pack, the foxhounds hunted eagerly. But now they ran with their bristles up—to kill, not to eat. The fox they regard as a dinner; not so the wolf. The large, straight fore legs, deepehest and level back of the foxhound show what he really is the highest development of united speed, strength and endurance. Ten miles to the meet, five hours’ hunting at an average of ten miles an hour, during which two foxes are run down, and ten miles more before supper, is but an ordinary day’s work. We do not think we are exaggerating when we say that many a hound could cover one hundred miles in a day without being greatly distressed. But for this he would need companionship. Atone he would probably tire sooner than a slim pointer or long-legged setter, who§e steady gallop over grass or heather is another marvel of animal endurance. But the courage of cooperation is less interesting, even if none the less creditable, than the dash of the greyhound.

Th« UoYemment Seal* When on July 4, 177(1, the continental congress declared the EnglishAmerieau colonies to be free and independent states, they appointed a committee to report a device for a seal— the emblem of sovereignty. That committee and others from time to time presented unsatisfactory devices. Finally, in the spring of 1783, Charles Thompson, the secretary of congress, gave to that body a device largely suggested to John Adams, then United States minister to the court of Great Britain, by Sir John Breatwich, an eminent English antiquary. This suggestion was made the basis of a design adopted by congress. June 30,• 1803, and which is still the device of the great seal of the repuldio.

Italian Folsonern. The beginning of the eighteenth century witnessed an epidemic of poisoning in France as well as Italy. The business was begun in France by two Italian poisoners named Exili and Glaser. Thepoisoners were discovered by the aid of the clergy. Exili and Glaser were sent to the bastile, where they both died. The latter lived long enough, however, to communicate the secrets of his hu iness to the infamous St. Croix, who became the teacher of the penally■ •nf?mou‘-- Mine Brinviliii.;., S» ■ p ix '.-.w .

narpooiiliijc I!l(f Turtle* Which Sleep with One Eye Open. The turtle is justly considered a feast for the gods. The way people usually capture the prize is to wait for Mrs. Turtle when she comes ashore to lay her eggs on the sand beach and to turn her on her back with ahundsnike: but. * *’••' 'a « »

* . » A

there is inucu more fun witii much Detr ter sport in catching turtles by harpooning, a method followed among the keys and coral banks which fringe the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The harpoon consists of a short shaft made of iron, which tits loosely into a woollen pole about nine feet long. Around the shaft a line is fastened, which should be strong and about sixty fathoms long. The barb of *the harpoon is about an inch long, having two notches. If longer than this it Is liable to pierce deeper than the shell and perhaps kill the turtle, which the fisherman has no wish to do. The best sort of a boat to use is a fifteen-foot skiff, with simply a “lug sail,” which can be dropped in a hurry. A crew of two is necessary, one to look after the sails and he handy with a pair of oars, while the other looks after the tiller. It is of no use to go after turtles in a calm. They sleep in the shallow water which fringes the keys, and always sleep with one eye open, so that using the oars sends the animals off like a streak of light long before one is within striking distance. It is when the surface of the water is rippled by the breeze that one has a chance of making a catch, so that the fishing generally lias to take place in the afternoon. The harpooner stands in the bows with the line carefully rolled between his feet. He has to keep a sharp lookout, and as soon as he espies a turtle resting on the white sandy bottom, surrounded by sponges, he directs the helmsman by hand. As one gets above the creature down goes the' harpoon, the striker holding fast to the handle, for the water is seldom more than five feet deep. If the strike is a successful one the pole comes from the harpoon and is thrown into the boat. The sail must he lowered instantly, the oars taken out and the boat headed in the direction the turtle has taken. As soon as this is done a strain is generally put on the line and the turtle is soon towing the boat. This quickly puts the animal out of breath and he has to come to the surface for air. In about half an hour, as a rule, he is alongside the boat, considerably exhausted. He is not, however, in the boat yet, and it is now the duty of the man who has charge of the tiller to jump overboard and turn the turtle over on his back. This is no easy task, and the man generally has two or three good duckings before he is successful. Not infrequently the animal makes a final dash forfredom, and the boat has to head for the new direction taken, and the steersman is left in the water. Even when it is turned it is not so easy to haul a four hundred-pound animal into the boat,which usually is half full of water before the captive is vainly flapping fins at ' the bottom of the boat. Sometimes the turtle heads for the .deep water, and if so it generally takes from two to three hours to land them, as they will sink to the bottom and sulk there, coming up for breath only at long intervals.

Dry Itniu. A peculiarity common to rain in the Bermudas, the Windward islands, the Hawaiian group, and the Alaskan waters is that it isn't very wet. In none of these regions do the natives fear tiie rain, and even foreigners soon come to know that they take no harm from being caught out in a storm. It was noted by men on the ships lately patrolling Behring sea that a portion of the deck slightly protected dried out white, even in the midst of a shower, and that wet clothing hung under a slight shelter on deck dried in an atmosphere apparently saturated by a hard rain.

GRASSHOPPERS ON TOAST. SumptuouH JKepnat I’artuken of by a IIuuKry Traveler. “Ever eat any grasshoppers?” asked John Mills at the I’acific hotel in Pomona the other day. while conversing with a reporter of the Progress. “You never did? Then you don’t know what luxury is. Talk about your fricassed frogs, pate de foie gras and all the rest o’ your hifalutin' French fixin’s! They just ain’t in it at all with a big, fat Kansas hopper, done brown in fresh country butter.

When they finished feeding and hopped upon the barbed wire face to pick their teeth and talk it over the country looked liked, the burned district in Chicago after the big fire. I had a new green wagon, with red wheels, and the hoppers ate every bit of paint off it and gnawed the woodwork. They ate all the blacking off my harness, the tails off my horses and I had to keep my dog under a tarpaulin to prevent them devouring him raw. You never saw such appetites. They got into my commissary department and made away with everything but a stone jar of butter I had bought in St. Joe. 1 didn’t have a cent and it was two days’ drive to Wichita. Couldn’t live on butter, you know, so I concluded to play for even. I built a fire, put my skillet over it and dropped in a half pound of the dyspepsia provoker It was soon frying and sizzling awi.y at a great rate and the hoppers were Iropping into it sixty a second. I let 'em fry about a minute, then I removed ’em and sat down to give my stomach a surprise party. Well, sir. the hind legs were the finest meat I ever ate. They had an excellent game flavor and tasted like mountain brook trout. I fared sumptuously ... .. St. John, whose d'et was locusts and wild honey, but I tell you he knew his business.

The stranger passing through these woods was frequently exposed to the danger of tumbling into one of these hollows, when he might be said truly to be “i» a scrape.” The college students of Cambridge, in t’ jir little perplexities, pick up and applied the phrase to other perplexing mutters, which had brought a man morally into a fix.
