THE GUANACO.

If seems from the arcouuts given by >aruln and by W. H. Hudson that all le guanacoa of the sontbern part of Patagonia must resort when the hour f de.ith approaches to a certain spot i a certain river bed which has boom? a perfect mausoleum of their ones. Ur. Hudson notes that It la only the guanaoo of the southern extremity of the South American contlnant that has this habit, a habit restricted to descendants of forefathers who lived In extremely rigorous climate. Mr. Hudson conjectures that among these forefathers the Instinct grew op when the stress of hunger and cold was very dire of resorting-to this sheltered place In the river fefc.1. where they might find warmth In their own closely collected numbers and possibly food. By a continual survival of those which betook themseHes to this place of refuge the race Instinct would he formed ol resorting thither when they felt the tides of life running low. This feeling. Ur. Hudson argues, their descendant! are likely to exjierlence now at tbs approach of the hour of death. But now li la no longer Just a passing spell of extreme cold that leads them thither. The death call baa come, and they must lay their bones In the common mortuary. It Is not “In order to die" that the guanaco seeks this place: It would be nearer the truth If we were to say it was "In order to Ufa'* But the moat true account of all Is that It la In mere obedience to the Inherited Instinct that the guanaco resorts to this refuge. Tet another Instance of this mysterious guidance Is afforded by the habit of the rattlesnakes In the colder countries to assemble together for hibernation In caves. These snakes on emerging from the caves cover long distances In their wanderings, their young are generally born far away, and yet these yoting succeed in finding their way to the caves with the greatest certainty. —London Spectator.

CHOICE MISCELLANY

FOR THE CHILDREN The Game of Klag Caesar. One player is chosen to be ths king. Ail the others form two rows, out at each end of the ground, with a line drawn across the front of each row to mark den. Adi the players must keep within their respective lines, and King Caesar stands In the middle, between the lines. Any number of players can then rush across from one den to the other. King Caesar trying to catch one as they run. If be catches one. he must succeed In bolding him while counting ten, tbs hoy meantime trying hla best to break sway. Bnt If he cannot, he then remains with the king and helps him catch others. If either den becomes empty, the king goes Into It and says, “Crown the base; one. two. three," three times. If oo player from the other den can go across to his den before be has finished, then, he may choose some boy from the other den to run across to hla. This boy trust run, whether be wishes to or not hot may be supported by any number of volunteer helpers, the king, meanwhile, doing his best to capture him. tfer SiasnlleitrA silly little lady bad a husband, s lovsr of gsyety. who was inclined to neglect his wife.

Ing church and' state. There will be no change of policy on this subject because of bis secession, for be was minister of Interior In M. Sarr'en's cabinet and his right band man. 'The late premier resigned on account oT IB health. He used to say, “Sarrien is the driver, but Cletnenceau drives the driver.” Indeed. Clemenceau has a reputation as a sort fit Warwick, as a statesman who was able to make or unmake ministers at will, but who until now was unable to be premier himself. M. Clemenceau was bom sixty-five years ago and comes of an old Huguenot family of the province of Vendee. The father of Premier Clemenraan was a strong republican, and the son was brought up with the-klea that be must fight for his views as fit the minority In bis community, was educated for the practice of medicine, but before be bad bad a chance to advance very far In hla itrofesalonf was compelled to leave the country oo account of his radical views. This was Just before the fall of the Emperor Napoleon III. Olemeneenn removed to New Tork, and while trying to estabUab a practice In the French colony be for a time taught French. Oue'of lila pupils was a Mias Mary E Plummer of Greenwich. Conn. He fell In love with her. and they were married In 1870' by Mayor A. Oakey Hall at the New York city ball, M. Cletnenceau being avers? to a religious ceremony. The outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war led to hla return to France and rise to political Influence and. Indeed, pre-eminence, for be la by many considered tbs strongest man In France today. His marriage with an American proved unfortunate. His wife obtained a divorce, returned to America and died here. - By making General Georges Plcquart his minister of war Premier Clemenceau heaps humiliation on the enemies of Dreyfus and elevates to the bead of the department of war the latter's foremast champion. But a short time ago Dreyfus was dlagrtced and In exile and Plcquart was In prison because of his adherence to a then unpopular cause. Now Captain Dreyfus Is restored to rank, his good name Is vindicated, and be wears the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, and Plcquart, who suffered rather than witness an injustice In silence, has the disgraced Mercier's poet as minister of war, while at the bead of the cabinet 1« Clemenceau. who both as editor and. statesman was one of the stanchest of the Maligned captain's defenders.

Certain pubth- offlelnls were recently discussing the questlou of graft In one of our largest cities wbeu ths following was told: ▲ physician on ths city health commission had ordered ten pounds of sponges. In due course he rood red • number of sponges that together fell short of • pound In weight Later a voucher came for his signature, so that (be contractor might get tiis pay from the municipality. Of course the physician refused to sign the voucher. “Why not?” asked the contractor, surprised. “For the reason that the order calls for ten |Mnimls," replied the physician, "and the sponges sent me weighed considerably leas (ban that." “That's funny,” said the contractor, with an air of doubt, "because I weighed 'em myself." “And so did 1 weigh them,” was the dogged response the physician made. “If you don't lielleve me weigh the sponges again. There they are." “Whatr cried the contractor us be glanced at the goods In questlou. “You don't mean to toll me that you weighed Tla In (hr Carollnao. Caaslterlte. the only Important ore of tin, has been known In the Carollnas for over twenty years, during which time various attempts have been made to exploit deposits at several places, but up to the present the output has been an Insignificant factor In the ivsrUl s production. When prices take hysterical Jumps as they did In May. at which Upie they rose to MVi cunts per pound, putting the temporary value of tin above that of nickel or aluminium.

The metal tungsten Is remarkable for the great density of lu alloys, and on this aecoant. since the Introduction of repeating rifles of small caliber, many attempts have been made to flatten the trajectory of the bullets by augmenting tbetr density through tho addition of tungsten. Thin fact has led to a slnI gular situation with regard to the tungsten deposit* found In the eastern part of France that have hitherto been exploited by n German company. The ; question is now seriously debated 1 whether the French government should not assume entire control of this supply | of what may become an Important material of war. Up to the present nearly all the tungsten of commerce bas come as a byproduct from the tin mines of Wales. . - The Pc-oplr'a Cask.
