What, for instance, could he more clever, more thoughtful or more amazing than the action of the indigo snake when cold weather comes onJ It was illustrated recently. The first breath of cool air that was wafted across the garden informed the indigo snake that a cold wave was at hand. They could not hide their heads under their wings like the robin of the nursery book. They could not take violent exercise and warm up their blood, for their blood will not warm. So tney fettle the problem by swallowing each other in turn. One indigo snake will swallow his better half, for example, until she becomes thoroughly warmed up, and then she will swallow him until he! feels comfortable. It is a very clever action on the part of these snakes. It indicates their character. The fact that they swallow one another is usually put down by unthinking people to ignorance. They say that the indigo snake will swallow anything, even its friends. Perhaps that is the reason the snake-stor- y fiend always stations himself In front of the indigo snakes cage. HO knows that no matter how big a lie he tells the snake will swallow it as nonchalantly as though it were a piece o garden hose or some such luxury. But more remarkable in sagacity than the indigo snake are the tropical birds in the aviary. They are probably the most wonderful geniuses ever seen at tfie zoo. Coming as they did from Indias coral strand and other places where the thermometers die of the fever and the iceberg is unknown, they fipd themselves unprepared for the rigor of the climate here. Such was the condition of a number of the new bird ar!rival3 from India recently. They had nothing but their light, summer pajamas with them, and when the biting - U 8 Confined In a Zoo. 1,1 r A "lx Ut eina 10 Ll yHammersteins Olympia, on Acre1 Square, will stand unique unparalleled, alike for the scheme, the beauty of the Picture, the rapidity with which it ! the amount of a been constructed, the intelligence, skill ney invested, and pluck of d indomitable energy Y!frar 11 'eij, fr the an LL tn one man who conceived, j planned the undertaking to a sue-the diversity of the plan and the enormous . &: amusement entertainment from which of the house. may choose jj exceedingly moderate charge of admission' that will carry entree to every part of the great building, says mount of jre patrols tie New York World.

This was forty odd years ago, hut the same spirit of has characterized the average man ever since. What the pioneer women medical students, art students, college students, endured here and in England and France is already a matter of history, and it all constitutes a scathing commentary on the boasted chivalry of man. But women have greater cause for resentment. Men have not been, nor are they eager to women a give larger concession of liberty, and the removal of every Injustice and every inequality has had to be stubbornly fought for by a few courageous and philanthropic women, aided here and there by a man less inflated than fiis fellows with an overwhelming pride of sex.

A novel idea in telephone practice has been put into execution by a New England company. A letter has been sent to all the physicians in New Haven stating that In many cases of sudden attacks of. illness a telephone from the house of a patient to the residence of a physician would be of the greatest value. To meet this need the company announced that upon the request of a person in the city limits, indorsed by the physician attendant, a telephone would be placed in in the house for a period of thirty days for the sum of $5, and if the family wished then to continue the service, the same rates would be made for each succeeding month. The plan promises to be a success. Against the Saloons. women of Tuskegee, Ala., colored The In Tennwiee i led by Mrs. Booker T.

When this decision is reached, a runner is dispatched to the nearest frb nd- ly tribe with the message that on a certain day they will be visited by a number of young men, forming a war-par- ty from his tribe, who require horses. On the appointed day the warriors appear, stripped to the waist. They march silently to the village of their friends, seat themselves in a circle, light' their pipes and begin to smokai at the same time making their wishes knowm in a sort of droning chant. Presently there is seen, far out on the plain, a band of horsemen riding steeds fully equipped for war. These horsemen dash up to the village and wheel about the band of beggars sitting on the ground, in circles which constantly grow smaller, until, at last, they are as close as thc can get to the smokers without riding over them. Then each rider selects the man to whom he intends to present his pony, and as he rides around, singing and yelling, he lashes the bare back of the man he has selected wdth th heavy rawhide, whip until ths blood ii seen to trickle down. If one of th smokers should flinch under the blow's, he would not get his horse, but w'ould be sent home on foot and in disgrace. At last, when the horsemen think their friends have been made to pay enough In suffering for their ponies, each dismounts, places the bridle in the hand of the smoker he has selected, and at the same time hands him the whip saying: Here, beggar, is a pony for you to ride, t for which I have left my mark. After all the ponies have been presented the beggars are invited to a grand feast, during which they are treated with every consideration by their hosts, who also load them with food sufficient for their homew'ard journey. The braves depart with full stomachs and smarting backs, hut heppy In the possession of their poniea and in anticipation of the time when their friends shall he in distress and shall come to smoke horses with them, J. W. L. gayly-caparison- j m drive to the large central court, there to be washed and housed and have their horses stabled. Entering this common doorway for a dozen families, a splendid winding marble staircase strikes the view. At the same instant one makes the acquaintance of the concierge, her husband also, and (if one is lucky), of the fresh and rosy servant maid who answers to the name of Marie, though her name is really Anna, for she is a blond Alsacian with big blue eyes. It is the business of the concierge (the janitor) to say if you are in or out. Because it is a boarding house and quite a large one, 4t is seldom that she answers accurately. She comes out with a cup of coffee in her hands, which she is always drinking and yet never 'finishes, and gives your visitors the wrong impressions with a certain dazed good nature. She is a stout dame, who once had a waist, but her time of coquetry is passed and years have gone by since she wore a corset. She also guards the elevator; there is no elevator boy. Two persons at a time can squeeze themselves into the little car, which moves with frightful slowness. And everybody is forbidden to ride down because it wastes the power. The elevator is for the use of masters only that Is, paying boarders and their friends. All servants, laundresses, shop runners and the like must take the stairs. There is one hallway which is never littered up with trunks that of the second floor. Here all the public life goes on, between the salons and the dining room. Here gentlemen may stand' around and smoke a half hour after each meal. A colored gentleman from Algiers stands and smokes among the whites. At table he sits between two French girls, who enjoy his conversation and his dusky tint with equal satisfaction. There is no color line In Paris; for the life of me I cannot understand why all the wealthy colored people of America do not come over here to enjoy the liberty, equality and fraternity. It is not family board here. That does not exist In Paris. French family life is so united that the Idea of accepting a few hoarders is not to be thought of. The boarding houses of Paris are establishprofessedly money-makin- g ments. The principle is to get money every way, at every turn. Suppose your room Is one at 11 francs ($1.20) a day. You have your room, your morning coffee, lunch or dinner for that price. Your wine is extra, your afternoon. coffee is extra. Your bedroom has no gas and the petroleum burned in your lamp is extra. Your fires are extra; use of the bathroom is extra. Missionary for South America. Dr. Bremner of Toronto, will be sent by the council of the South American Evangelical Mission to establish a home in Buenos Ayres, or Montevideo, for the reception of missionary candidates where the language may be learned and from which, as they are found ready, they will be sent out to different stations in the republics of Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentine, Bolivia, and elsewhere in South America.

Probably the most ideal dairy in existence is that of the princess of Wale, in which not only she, but her daughters, have learned to make the most perfect of butter.

They were made in Bombay, and are of a deep peacock blue, the rose, shamrock and thistle being intertwined, with the A white marble motto, Ich dien. counter running around the room holds silver pans of milk from the Alderneys grazing without.

A long milk can, painted by t the Princess Louise to match the Indian tiling, stands in one corner, and opposite is the head of the princesspet Alderney, with a silver plate recording her vir- - . , tues.
