FEW NOTES UPON A CURIOUS GUEST OF KEEPER HOLMES

io MoaJBon Has I^arce Iforn» to Be Used as Air Cushion*—He Can See the I Wind—It Appear# Bed to Ilia Gentle

Eye—Several Theories of Ir. HolmM. I The keepers in the Central perk mermgerie are all men of considerable intelligence, and many of them hold valuable jnd entertaining theories regarding the tnimals tinder their charge. It is not ^easy for an outsider to learn what these B&eories are, bnt they cwne out gradually on better acquaintance. They are usually the result of long experience ^worked upon by a bold imagination.

Keeper Holmes, who has looked after Idger and camels for about twenty-six irs, propounds some of the most valtble of these theories.

There are in the deer house a male and j» female Sardinian moufflon. By the way, the keepers do not speak of a male kr a female animal, but of a lady or a ^gentleman animal. For instant*, they j'say "That's a lady hippopotarffrs," or ^That's a gentleman hippopotamus."

One Friday the lady moufflon presentfid her gentleman with a new small moufflon of the male sex. .The baby moufflon was seen by the itttfriter soon after his appearance in this world. Ho is well cared for by his mother.

Ho Is very small and very plump. His mother i» an extremety affectionate anfcvl, and puts a warm, damp nose against io hand of anybody who puts it within xercage.

The moufflon is the subject of one of Keeper Holmes' theories. The ani...al is variously called the Sardinian or the Corsican moufflon, or the muffle, and scientifically the ovis musimon. It is a sheep, and one of the many varieties of wild sheep.

IIOW THE ANIil.U, APPEAJ18.

The specimens in Central park stand a tittle more than two feet high and are very gracefully farmed. They have not the goatlike tuft under the chin possessed by some wild sheep.

The moufflon is found in the mountains of Sardinia, Corsica, Southern Spain, European Turkey and in various Mediterranean islands. It closely resembles the Rocky mountain wild sheep, but is prettier.

The moufflon has wool and hair like any other sheep. The wool comes next to the skin and the hair outside thewool. As everybody should know the great difference between wild and domesticated sheep is that the former have more hair ami less wool, and tho latter less hair and more wool. Tho wool is developed and the hair dermises after domestication.

The moufflon's wool is of a yellowish white and his hair of alight chestnut color. It is gray on tho muzzle, the abdomen and the inner side of the thighs, and white on the under side of the tail. The hair grows thinner in summer.

Tho moufflon has a very bumpy fore}head just over tho eyes. Its head is King and intelligent looking. Its nuizzle

Is compressed. The gentleman moufflon has immense, hollow horns. They are triangular. They bend backward in a semicircle, and take another small twist before they come to points. Tho bases of the horns occupy almost the entire forehead above tho bumpy jMirt mentioned.

There is something very interesting connected with those horns. Tho moufflon is one of the most difficult animals to shoot or catch. He is very timid, very swift, and can take refuge in places inaccessible to man. Hin horns servo him for defense very seldom, however, and principally as a means of escape.

TRUSTS TO HIS HORNS.

The moufflon can see the wind or tho [scout. of a man coming—in what way 'will bo explained later. It is his custom to stand on the edge of a precipico and watch the approaching wind or foe. When he thinks it time to get out of the way ho takes a dive, apparently to his Inevitable destruction. As a matter of fact, ho alights on his immense horns, which causes him to bounce off the ground a few feet into tho air. Then he alights .comfortably on his feet. /One veracious sportsman relates that lie had got within easy shooting distance of a moufflon when ho animal took his customary dive. Ureat was the sportsman's surprise when, after a few minutes, ho saw the moufflon reappear on the spot whence he had dived.

In his fear the moufflon had taken such a hard dive that he bounded back to exactly the place which ho had left. Then the sportsman shot him easily, of course. The moufflon has a remarkably fine and large blue eye. Itis with this that Keeper Holmes' theory is connected.

The eyes are situated at the side of the -bond, and, not unnaturally, are very Avide apart. The animal can look in front, to the side and behind without moving his head. Of tliis" there is no possible doubt whatever.

Keeper Holmes says that the moufflon can see tho wind, which has a red color to him and varies in redness according to its velocity. The fact that he is afraid of anything red goes to prove this* All -animals, say* Mr. Holmes, which can see the wind arc timid, and so should we be if we could do so. Can it be that this theory would account for the mental distress of gentlemen who see things which others cannot? The moufflon, according to Mr. Holmes, can see other sights and smell other smells of which we are entirely unconscious.

It should bo said that he Is borne out more or bus in his theory by scientists. Sir John Lubbock h»a recently found out thai his ants are oonsdous of several colors unknown to xyea. The same thing 1$ troo of many oth«r animal* in regard to waieUs,—J*ew York Evening Sun.

THE RIOE INTO KENTUCKY.

A Traveler*# Impressions of the Famous Blue Grass Kegions. All the way from Washington tall I struck the heart of Kentucky the fanner in me was unhappy he saw hardly a rood of land that he would like to call his own. But that remnant oa the wild man of the -woods, which most of us still carry, saw much that delighted him, especially down the.New river, where the rocks and the waters and the steep forest clad mountains were as wild and as savage as anything he had known in his early Darwinian ages. Bnt when we emerged upon 1:he banks of the Great Kanawha the man of the woods last his interest and tho man of the fields saw little that was comforting.

When we cross the line into Kentucky, I said, we shall see a change. But no, we did not. The farmer still groaned in spirit no thrifty farms, no substantial homes, no neat villages, no good roads anywhere, but squalor and sterility on every hand. Nearly all the afternoon we rode through a country like the poorer parts of New England, unredeemed by anything like New England thrift. It was a country of coal, a vary new country, geologically speaking, and the top soil did not seem to have had time to become deepened and enriched by vegetable mold.

Near sundown, as I glanced out of the window, I thought I began to see a change. Presently I was very sure I did. It began to appear in tho more grassy character of the woods. Then I caught sight of peculiarly soft and uniform grassy patches here and there in the open. Then in a few moments more the train had fairly shot us into the edge of the blue grass region, and the farmer in me be^an to be on the alert. We had passed in a twinkling from a portion of tho earth's surface which is new, which iu or yesterday, to a portion which is of tho oldest, from the carboniferous to the lower silurian. Here upon this lower

Beef Tea.

For my own use I prefer for its flavor and quality beef tea made in tho following manner: Take a pound of the round of beef or any juicy lean part cut it in small pieces, and putting it in a bowl pour over it one pint of cold water. Let it stand half an hour or more, as convenient then put it in abroad basin, and as it begins to heat press the meat with the back of a silver or wooden spoon, until all tho juice in expressed. If the water cooks away add a little from the teakettle, so as to have the same quantity when done. Season it with a little salt and pepper, if allowable, and heat as needed. I prefer this for use without straining.—Cor. Good Housekeeping.

fie Laughed Too Soon.

A well dressed, ladylike looking woman entered a tram car the other day with her little boy of about 6 years of age. On the conductor coming t© collect tho fares the lady handed her little son a half crown, he being nearer the door. The little fellow examined the coin carefully and then gave it to the conductor. Scarcely had the man returned the change than the youngster clapped Ms hands and looking at his mother exclaimed triumphantly: "Mamma, mamma, he has taken the bad half crownH—London Tid Bits.

lurian the earth that saw and nourished the great monsters and dragons was growing the delicate blue grass. It had tdken all theso million: upon millions of years to prepare the way for this little plant to grow to perfection.

I thought I had never seen fields and low hills look so soft in the twilight they seemed clad in greenish gray fur. As we neared Mount Sterling how fat and smooth the land looked what long, even, gently flowing lines against the fading western sky, broken hero and there by herds of slowly grazing or else reposing and ruminating cattle! What peace and plenty it suggested! From a land raw and crude and bitter like unripe fruit we had suddenly been transported into the midst of one ripe and mellow with the fullness of time. It was sweet to look upon. I was seized with a strong desire to go forth and taste it by a stroll through it in the twilight. —John Burroughs in Contury.

Father nnil Son.

The late Charles C. Walte, at one time proprietor of the old Sherman house, Chicago, and for many years a leading hotel keeper ol' New York city (being solo proprietor of the Brevoort house and part proprietor of tho Windsor hotel), at his death left a son, Charles B. Waite, whom ho fondly hoped would bo his successor in business. Tho young man was a failure, however, na a hotel keeper and worse than a failure as a politician. His connection with other boodle aldermen in New York is well remembered and two or three yoars ago he left that city for California, where he has since led a desultory existence. For years tho elder Waito employed as chef of tho Brevoort house Eugene Mchl, who was very justly regarded as one of the most capable men that ever took charge of a kitchen and to whom Mr Waite paid for many years the munifi cent salary of $0,000 per annum. Mr. Mehl is now tho successful proprietor of tho handsome Hotel Ryan, at St, Paul, Minn., aud, to his credit bo it said, ho has given employment to Charles B. Waite, who is now performing tho duties of superintendent at tho Hotel Ryan.— Hotel Reporter.

longest Speech on Record. The longest speech on record is believed to have been made by a member of the legislature of British Columbia named De Cosmos. It was in the interest of the settlers who were to be ousted from their lands. De Cosmos was in the hopeless minority. The job had been held hock nntil near the close of the session mlpw legislation was taken before noon of a certain day the act of confisca^ tion would faiLf f|p

The day before the Expiration of the limitation De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m. and began a speech against the bill. Those in

favor

of the bill cared

but little tor what they supposed would be an hour or an hour and a half speech from De Cosmos, thinking that they would have no trouble in putting it on its passage as soon as he was through. One, 2,4 and 5 o'clock came still De Cosmos talked as though he had ages in which to

his remarks. At 6 o'clock he

produced a fearful bundle of evidence then, for the first time, a suspicion of the truth dawned upon the majority— De Cosmos intended to speak until noon of the next day, the time for adjournment, and thus kill the bilL

They tried to shout him down with their frequent and noisy interruptions, but soon saw that that only gave him a chance to digress and make his talk less laborious. At midnight the members slipped out to lunch and returned only to fall asleep in their seats still De Cosmos went on. Day dawned over the sleepy assemblage with tired looks and bloodshot eyes, still the settlers' hero kept the floor. Six hours more of talk and noon, the hour of adjournment, came to the baffled majority a single man had triumphed. His lips were cracked and his chin smeared with blood from the cracks he tottered and fell from sheer exhaustion, but the land was saved. De Cosmos had spoken twentysix hours.—St. Louis Republic,

A Fan with Modern Improvement#. A very odd thing in fans was brought from London as a present. This fan is a filmy affair of gauze stretched in a black frame and is tho most simple and innocent looking of the fan species when it is folded up and lies demurely on a lady'8 lap or reposes peacefully upon her dressing table. But let a pretty woman unfurl and hold it before her face, and the most incorrigible woman hater will become dimly aware that eyen his peace is menaced by the fine coquetry of the dainty weapon.

In the middle of the black gauze is set a tiny velvet half mask, through which a pair of merry, tawny brown eyes can do awful execution. The thin fabric upon which it is placed is distractingly becoming to the fair and delicate tints of hair and face, and the long, slender ebony sticks, decorated with bow and streamers of sable velvet, are in strong and pleasing contrast to white, slender fingers.

This is what a man will see in the Kendal fan—called so because Mrs. Kendal invented and patented it—br.t look you now what follows and you shall learn what a woman finds in the dainty toy when she investigates its true inwardness. On one side of the outer stick is a small oval mirror set above a velvet bow, in tho loops of which dangles a little black satin bag as round, and only a trifle larger than a French franc. It contains a morsel of a powder puff. In an unsuspected crevice behind the mirror are three hairpins. On the opposite side of tho fan a clasp holds in place a wee pencil, glove buttoner and folding scissors, nnd in a groove are stuck half a dozen pins, while a miniature vinaigrette is stowed away at the conjunction of sticks, streamers lind soft fingers.—Exchange.

Moral Cowardice of Women. Take a seat at a popular dress counter in any one of the large dry goods stores of New York, and if in the space of one hour you do not see and hear ten sublimated prevaricators it will bo because mde is slack, the season is over or the weather out of joint. Of every twenty shoppers who stop at the counter to examine the dress patterns fully fifteen will retire with a little falsehood on her lips. Either she will "come in again," "send her dressmaker to buy it," "come right back" when she picks out a wrap or looks over another line of cloths, or "think about it and send you a postal."

Not one woman jui a thousand has the bravery to say, "I don't like it," or "It is too expensive." They don't seem to understand that it is nothing to the salwSnan whether she takes it or not, that he is paid to show the goods, and that as a patron of the store she is entitled to command his services. So great is the moral cowardice of the semi-edu-cated class that they will take a dress pattern, have it sent home C. O. D.. only to be returned by the delivery clerk marked "not at home" or "not wanted." —New York World.

We Are Xot to BUmc.

In a family, too, we often find a girl censured and ridiculed because she is excitable and flighty, or a boy perpetually nagged and slighted because of Ms slowness and stupidity. A diseased nervous system or a slow moving brain are qualities for the possession of which no man or woman is responsible. "Itis not," says Madame de Preyere, "fear the things which God has given me that I should he loved or hated, bnt for my own use or abuse of them."—Youth's Companion.

Love's Disguises.

The anxiety of newly married couples to appear "like old married folks" is proverbial When ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, then a promising young attor

ney,

was united in marriage to Miss Flora Payne they started from Cleveland on their wedding trip firmly resolved to appear as if they had been married for years. "Now if I appear a little cold," said Mr. Whitney to his bride, •'remember I am only acting my part." When the train reached Ashtabula a verdant couple, showing beyond all doubt that they had just come from the altar, came into the car where Mr. and Mrs. Whitney were seated. "Why, anybody could tell that that couple had just been married," said Mr. Whitney. "Just look at the man's bumps, the woman's flowers and all that. "Nobody would doubt that tliey are brido and groom. Their dress shows that to anybody, but I don't believe we look quite so green." After a few hours the train Btopped at a station, and Mr. Whitney left the car for a few moments to smoke a cigar. As he paced up and down the platform enjoying Ms Havana the Ashtabula groom stepped up and asked Mr. Whitney for a light. The Ashtabula stogie was hardly lighted when the man who was puffing it, showing a disposition to be friendly, remarked to Mr. Whitney, "Well, partner, I guess we're in the same boct." Mr. Whitney was disgusted. He returned to the car and explained to Mrs. Whitney, "Flora, it's no use. Even that greenhorn from Ashtabula has spotted us."—Cleveland Plaindealer. ......

Effect of Hair Dye.

I was talking with a friend whose hair and whiskers aro almost snow white at 45. "You may not believe it," said he, "but I was fool enough to dye my hair for ten years. I began to get gray at nineteen years of age. I went to the dt-ugjjist, and he mixed me up a hair dye, with sugar of lead and sulphur and other ingredients, which I began to use. I went into the army and held a commission, and wherever I went I was vain enough to carry that hair dye. I would put aside necessary articles from my luggage in order to carry that dye with me. "After the war I bought a plantation, and down there among the negroes and the alligators I was just as particular to usl my hair dye daily as if I was going to a ball among fashionable people. I came to New York and went into business. One morning a friend from outside the city met me on Broadway. 'I want to go to Beaver street,' said he. I couldn't tell him where Beaver street was. I took him to my office, right past Beaver street, and sent him to his destination by the office boy. Then I got a cab and drove to a physician to whom I related my loss of memory. He looked me over and said it was the hair dye, and that unless I quit using it I would have softening of the brain. Well, I quit, and now I wonder at myself when I think what a foolish man I was during those years."—New York Press.

Chanticleer Does Up an Owl. A young man from the country says that he had a game rooster that kept every other fowl off his beat, and Monday night he heard a fluttering in his chicken house. The next morning he investigated it and found the rooster and a very large owl on the floor of his henhouse- The rooster had driven one of his spurs clear through the owl's head and it hung there, while the owl had a death grip on the rooster's wing. The owl was dead, but the rooster, as soon as released from the talon of the owl, stretched his neck and crowed lustily.— American Herald.
