Recently, nnd within a few days of each' other, two valuable additions hnvo been mudo to tho collection of nnimnls at tho zoological gardens. Both bolong to tho folino family, and both nro leop ards, bnt hero tho similarity ceases. The ono is entirely Hack, with short fnr and accustomed to the tropical climate of Johore, in tho Malay peninsula, whilo tho other is n snow leopard, with long fur nnd thick, bushy tail. Tho latter is a native of tho heights of tho Himala yas, nnd that it. is a dweller in a cold cli inato is fully evidenced by tho length of its fur. Tho snow leopard is docile, and good natured, so that tho keeper can eu tor his cngo with impunity. Tho black loopnrd, on tho contrary, is forocions Although in a wild Htato, snow loop ards nro by no means uncommon in some parts of tho Himalayas, and their skins aro no unknown trophy to hunters, tho newcomer of tho zoological gardens is the only representative of the Folis uuoia ia captivity. His present abode is iu the lion houso, whoro he is housed because of the dryness of tho atmosphere, which in marc OBsontiul to his well being than his inative cold, for he is a martyr to bronchitis. On the voyage home he be came, very friendly with the xik and thoreliy contracted luxurious habits. With his morning meul ho drinks tea and milk, and mutton broth is his favor ite food. Tho agos of the two newtiomers ore uncertain, but they are believed to be between 18 mouths and 2 years. Of tho i two the snow leopard is by fur the moro'.valuuble from the zoologist's point of -.view. Ho represents a totally distinct species, the Folis uuoia, from which is idqrived "ounce," a name by which he is lineally known, and ia as different from the ordinary leopard aa the Poraiun is from the ordinary short haired cat. -Luiidou Graphic. Origin aSUuy' Hrigwhw. Tho Rov. . At Doming of the New York Baptist Missionary society recent ly delivered nu .address on "The Boys' Brigade" iu the Strong Plaoe BoptiBt church, Brooklyn. Mr. Doming is the originator of this brigade and spoke (eloquently of iu object, growth and power throughout the United Btutus. Tho idea of a boys' brigade originated in the west and proved very popular iu that Motion of the country. The ilrat compuuy iu New York was organized iu 1803. Then oompauies were formed in Brooklyn. Iu Brooklyn and New York there are over 8, 500 boys eurolhid us members of the brigade. Mr. Doming said: "The movement is uot a scheme to provide for the boys a perpetual picnic or free oirous, neither does it duvulop iu them a spirit of belligerency. It is om phutioully the opposite of till this. Its Isoloaim is to create iu the boys tho highest Christian character possible, ' Brooklyn. CitUseu. ml X VL "klv A MODEL WIPE. Bfc H4 Good DpkI to Try Hr, hat SIM Wonlrtn't Got Angry. The best imtured woman in tho world resides in tho city of Austin. She ha been married a nnrabcr of years to a man named Pcterby, who is one of the most disagreeable, quarrelsome mon outside of the Texas legislature. And yet Mr. and Mrs. Poterby have never bad a quarrel, for the reason that it is impossible to mako her angry. Ho has cowled at her and occasionally wafted a chair at her, just to see if sho wouldn't got angry, but ho suffered disappoint ment in earh nnd every instance. Peter by had been bragging to his friends about what a good nntnred wifo ho has, and Gilhooly offered to bet ffi0 that if Poterby wore to go home, raise a fuss and pull tho tablecloth full of dishes off tho table she would show signs of tem per. Ho had tried that with his wife once, but ho nover repeated tho experi ment. Pcterby said he didn't want to rob a friend of his money, but he know ho conld win. At last ho made tho bet. The friend was to watch tho proceedings through a window. Pcterby came home apparently fighting drunk. She saw him coming, went out to tho gnto, opened it, kissed him and assisted his tottering stops into tho honso. Ho sat down bard in the middle of the floor and howled out: "Confound your ugly picturo, what did you pull that chnir from under me for?" "I bono you did not hurt yourself?" she replied, smiling kindly. "I was to blame for it. I am so awkward. But I'll try and not do it again if yon will forgive me this time. " And she helped him to his feet, although she had noth ing to do with his falling. He then sat on the sofa, and sliding off on the floor abused her like a pickpocket for lifting up the other end of the sofa. She said she was sorry and finally led him to the supper table. Ho threw a plate at her, but sho dodged it and asked him if he would take tea or coffee. Then the brute seized the tablecloth, sat down on the floor and pnllod the dishes and every thing over him in one grand crash. Some women might have lost their tem per, but not so with Mrs. Peterby. She did not blubber like a child; she did uot even sulk or pout With a ploasant smile, she said: "Well, George, this is a new idea. We have been married 10 years and never eaten our supper on the floor. Won't it be funl Just like those pionics we used to go to before we were mar ried," and then the angelio woman de liberately Bat down on the floor along side of the wretch, arranged the dishes and fixed him up a nice supper. This broke him up. He owned up he was only fooling her and offered to give her $50 to get herself a new dross with. She took the money and bought him a new suit of clothes and a box of cigars with it Heaven will have to be repaired and whitewashed before it is fit for that kind of a woman. Tammany Times. Wai Shjrlock Jew? Eleven different versions of the pound of flesh story exist in tho early litera ture of Europe, none of which is found ed on a historical basis, have one related by tho biojrraphor of Pope Sixtus V. The original tale runs as follows: Simon Cenada, a Jew, cnterBintoawagor with Sochi, a Christian, staking a pound of his flesh against a large sum of money of the Christian. The Jew loses the wagor and Sechi insists on his forfeit The case is roforrod to the governor of tho city, who, in turn, places it before tho pope, who condemns both to lifelong imprisonment, from which they are finally released on the payment of a heavy fine. An Italian, Giovanni Floron tino, in the sixteenth century, was the first to change the roles of tho Jow and Christian, and in this altered form the bard of Avon found the Btory. The poet himself could scarcely have known any Jews personally, since they were ex pelled from England 800 years before his time and wore not readmitted until after his death. From stage presenta tions, from descriptions in books or from popular reports, which wore always de rogatory to the Jewish character, the poet derived his knowledge of the Jew. Menorah. Saving Fnnd Tcnu Hunk. The New York Recorder tells a story of a young man who wns induced to join a loan association, although somewhat skeptical of their merits. Ho resolved as a test to put by $10 a month in tho loan association and a similar sum each month in a savings bank. At tho end of 10 years he balanced his cash and found that he had $1,800 to his credit iu the association and only $1 in the bank. This is accounted for by two circum stances, one being the dread of fines if delinquent in the association, the other being that the book value of his associ ation stock was always so far ahead of the savings bank account that when he wished to expend any money he fonud it much less expensive to draw it out of the bank, heuoe would not disturb his shares iu the association.

CONCERNING DREAMS. thj Occupy Only a "w leoonds and Are Attested by Events, Doctors assert that dreams occupy a few seconds only at most the space of about three minutes. This statement Is startling to those who have not no ticed for themselves what part time plays in such a connection. The writer baa bad several opportunities of prov ing its correi.iess herself, and many might arrivo at a slmflnr knowledge by asking to bo awakened ft minute or so after falling into a first sleep. All who dream will do so immediately on fall ing into unconsciousness. Another reli able test is to be found in the sleep thnt follows upon tho morning summons for rising. A few inoro moments snatched for the tempting after doze will not nn frcqnently mean a dream of a very elab orate nature one which implies almost as many hours as seconds. Are dreams affected by tho events of our wakeful hours? Is the question thnt has been asked over and over again, but the result of obsorvntion lends cne to be hove in such being the case or not, nc coiding to the importance with which we treat them. In connection with such a question events and individuals can scarcely fnil to require separate consid eration. Events that are all important to some do not commend themselves in that light to others, and this fact lends one to express the opinion thnt, accoid ing to the intensity with which outward events occupy our thoughts, will our dreams be in anyway affected by them. To ono woman the exercise of hos pitality means the entire surrender of her mental domain to all the worries, real or imaginary, consequent upon the preparations for the contemplated en tertainment. To another, the noedtul directions once given, there is an imme diate return to considerations which out weigh in ber opinion the more material ones that held a whilom place in ber thoughts. In the one esse culinary fail urea and visions of indifferent service will probably haunt the d renins thut precede or follow thnt entertainment. In the other no such tortures are in volved in the sleeping hours. There have been stnrtling instnncesof the brain'spower to solve dirllcult ques tions during sleep. A case in point is that of a lawyer engaged in a criminal defense. The examination of one wit ness after another seemed only to add to the proof ot his client's guilt. Wearied one night with trying to find some point which might turn the scale In the pris oner's favor, he fell asleep, and in a dream the desired point stood out clear ly. On awakening it was immediately worked out, and the verdict of "not guilty" was found consequent upon thnt revelation afforded during the hours of sleep. When exercising the imaginative fa culties to any gieat extent, the dreams will always preserve the ideal charac ter of the wakeful hours. The composer will dream of the melodies which pro vide his own lullaby when dropping into slumber, and the artist and the writer enter the land of dreams in com pany with those that the pen or the brush are guided to depict with such a loving hand. Plot? have been furniBbed and subjects for the canvas have been suggested over and over again in the quiet hours of the night, when to all outward appearances there is nothing but the most peaceful slumber on the pait of tho sleeper. Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette. African Disappointments. As a continent Africa is the home of a vigorous race of mankind, which, while resisting assimilation with Euro pean civilization, defies permanent con quest. European travelers, traders, mis sionaries, conquerors, may at their will and at their peiil penetrate into this dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for a day, and on the morrow tho faint traces of tbeir passngo are obliterated by the exuberant growths of barbarism. Grudgingly as it is sometimes conceded, it is nevertheless a fact that the bulk of the continent of Africa is still untouched by western civilization. 1 for one can not believe that Africa will ever be Europeanized or bionght within the pale of western progress, for in order that Africa may progress it is absolute ly essential that it be developed along natural lines, but as yet the Inherent powers of native genius have neither been discovered, nor in the absence of any cohesion among native tribes and in View of European rapacity are they, even if discovered, ever likely to bo en couraged or fostered. No; Africa is a continent fated to be conquered and ex ploited by the heirs of civilization, to whom it may pay tribute, but homage never. Nineteenth Century. To Keep Ona'a Tooth. A distinguished English scientist, Mr. William Kinnear, in a magazine article insists that the secret of perennial youth is to be found in the use of distilled water and phospborio acid. He says that death, or disease that produces death, is caused by the deposit in the human system of calcareous or earthy matter, and that the drinking of dis tilled watei, which is itself a great dis solvent, and the use also of from 10 to IS drops of diluted phospborio acid in each tumblerful of water will remove such deposits and prolong human life to the very latest limit. In several of the great hotels in New Vork distilled water is provided at the table and for the use of the guests in their rooms, and the advertisement of this fact attracts many patrons. Detroit Free Press. About Gingerbread. The homely luxury, gingerbread, has been popular ever since the fourteenth century. It was then made and sold iu Paris, In those days it was prepared with ryemeul made into a dough, and ginger and other spices, with sugar or honey, were kneaded into it. It was in troduced into England by the court of Henry IV for their festivals and was soon brought into general use, treacle being after time employed In the muunfueture instead of honey.
