A REVISED FABLE.
You may sny, "The gropes are sour,"
Smiling add, "They're hunting high,"
And it is not in my power
Tho>e assertions to deny.
But I'd like to turn the tables,
And display the other side;
For I sometimes think old fables
Show extremely narrow pride.
And the fox—poor, ancient creature!
Has been most misunderstood.
For he surely had one feature
Which we all consider good.
When we lorg a hope, most cherished,
Who of us does not feel sad?
But the fox, when his had perished,
Made tlie ruost of what he had.

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP
BY JOHN ALT CJIS,
Poor Tom! He was a fellow among a j
thousand ; brave as a lion, merry as a j
lark, and so handsome and dashing!
Shoulder to shoulder we marched |
many a long mile under the baking j
African sun; and when Tom succumbed
to fever and died, there was not a dry
eye in th< regiment.
* "Hurry, old man," he said to me,
watching through an opening in our
tent, the last sunset his mortal eyes were
to look upon, "1 can trust you to give
these trinkets to my sister Mary, can't I? j
She will prize them. She always had a
tender spot in her heart for her goo l I
for-uothing brother. Poor child; she
will be alone now—quite alone. A
risky fate for a pretty girl of twenty.
Well, never mind. My little Mary! j
Harry, I wish "
The sentence was never finished, and
the voice which, with its merry ring,
had given courage and hope to many a
fainting heart of late, sank into eternal
silence.
Reverently I took charge of the poor
boy's legacy to his sister, his medals and !
crosses, won at the peril of his life, j
Soon afterwards fate led me back to j
Europe.
Tom's sister was in Paris, and thither
I was eager to betake myself with all
possible speed, to resign my charge, and,
if possible, on the strength of my inti- ,
macy with Tom, to win a place in his
sister's regard.
If a fellow can fall in love with a pho
tograph and a glowing description, I,
thanks to poor Tom's affectionate elo
quence, was in love with Mary Marsden.
1 believed that my comrade's half-uttered
dying wish was that I might win the
right to protect Mary.
Arrived at Marseilles, I found a letter !
from my aunt, Mrs. Cashmere, begging |
me to visit her for a few days at Mcntone, j
as she had au important matter to dis
cuss with me.
This invitation, interfering as it did
with my desire to seek out Mary at once,
was most unwelcome—particularly as I
strongly suspected the reason of my J
aunt's ardent wish to sec me. She had
doubtless been playing a little too reck
lessly at Monte Carlo—the love of gam
bling being a long-established infirmity |
with her—and wanted me to help her out
of a tight place. Well, one good turn j
deserves another. In my breau-and-jam 1
days many a half-sovereign had found its j
way from Aunt Cashmorc's purse to my
jacket pocket; why should I not put a
cheerful face upon the matter and be- j
friend her now, though I devoutly
wished the summons had come at some
other time.
Accustomed as I had been of late to
the attire of African ladies on their native
soil, my aunt's toilet and appearance
Struck me forcibly.
She was a handsome woman, perfectly
aware of the fact, and the rustling,
tinkling, and faint odor of patchouli
which accompanied her movements, at
tracted an attention which was not, on
the whole, ill paid for the trouble it
took to look. She wore her silky, white
hair high above her still fair forehead; a
soft-tinted shawl liuug usually about her
silken shoulders in a loose, picturesque
fashion; a glittering profusion of costly i
rings detracted from the beauty of her I
hands, and pendent from her waist
dangled a bewildering array of orna
mcnts, mostly of considerable value—a '
velvet bag with massive silver clasps, i
embossed with jewel-studded scent but- |
ties, and a chatelaine so loaded down
with trinkets that it was as if she had
dragged a silver grappling hook across a
jeweller's counter, retaining all the mis
cellaneous haul.
I thought all this display vulgar in the j
extreme, but contented myself with ex
pressing a fear that she might be robbed
some fine day on one of her walks 1
abroad, as she persisted in wearing all
this war paint.
"Don't be a fussy old granny before
your time, Harry, dear," was all the
thanks I got for my solicitude. "I
haven't lived ten years on the Riviera for '
nothing,"—she had not, as her losses at
Monte Carlo could testify—"and I'm
quite able to take care of myself and my \
property. We have, fortunately, out
lived the days of highway robberies upon
public thoroughfares."
My aunt had known Tom Mnrsden's j
family iu years past, and was deeply in- !
tcrosted in my mission to Paris. Very !
reluctantly, to satisfy her almost childish I
pleading, f showed her Tom's souvenirs, 1
placed in my hands in trust for his sister. !
It seemed a sacrilege to produce them in |
such an atmosphere. My annoyance was i
extreme when Aunt Cashmore hogged to I
he allowed the custody of these valuables j
until evening, as she particularly desired j
to show them to a friend. I refused at \
flr-t, but her voluble pleading at last i
made ine weakly give in.
A few hours later, as I was particularly j
distinguishing myself over a game of
billiards,a fellow brought me a note sum
moning me to the Hotel des Palmicrs.
where my aunt lived, with all possible
speed.
Here I found a pretty state of commo
tion. Mrs. Cashmore, my aunt, had been
attacked in the avenue and robbed, the
thief escaping with his plunder. As soon
as I had ascertained that my respected
relative hud come oil without bodily
hurt, I could not repress an unworthy
feeling of inward triumph at my astute
prediction being so promptly and forci
bly verified, but I, of course, maintained
a discreet silence upon this point while
listening to the victim's account of her
misfortune.
"I was returning t< luncheon leisurely
enough," she began, "when, on turning
into that quiet bit of ilex walk, 1 was
startled by a man jumping over the hedge
and saying something to me which 1 did
not understand. Then, all in a flash, lie
pushed mc back against a tree, clapped
one hand over my mouth -oh, such a
dirty hand: -and with the other tore off
my l ag, the chatelaine, and all the rest
of it. He got some of my bracelets, too.
though 1 don t quite know how ni ny.
Thou he bctttcd, and how I did yell! but
it was of no use. A cloud of waiters
went scudding down tho road after the
rascal, but he was too quick for them.
I'm very sorry, Horry, but those medals
and things of poor young Marsdcn were
in the bag. They were fortunately not
of very much value, and I don't sup
pose—"
"Good gracious! you don't mean to
say the thief has got Tom's last gifts to
his sister!" I cried, in horritied dismay.
" Yes, thoy are gone; but what are
those bits of things compared with my
black pearls and real Indian filigree,
and ."
I interrupted with some exclamation
more forcible than polite, I fear, for I
was vaguely conscious of my aunt's gaz
ing at me in high dudgeon.
What a fool I had been to allow Tom's
trust to leave my hauds for a moment! I
was no more fitted to be given such a
mission than auy rascally blackleg.
Could I ever hold up my head again at
the bare thought of Marv Marsdcn, whom
I had so wronged by my dastardly care
lessness? And as for looking in her face,
how could I dare do that, unless those
j stolen goods could be recovered ?
| They must be recovered; if it took
Imy last penny I would win back poor
Tom's legacy, or never know alight con
| science aguin.
| "What was the fellow like, aunt,
i who made the attack?" I asked, with
I liuttering eagerness.
1 "A shortish, stumpy man, with a
I broad nose, and small, dark eyes. One
of his hands had a deep scar on the
back."
This was a useful and important clue,
which the police officers noted with
avidity; and I shortly had the assurauce
that the best measures possible for trac
ing the criminal will be taken at once.
My state of mind bordered on despera
tion, and I could see no clear way out of
mv difficulty. 1 shrank from presenting i
myself before Miss Marsdcn minus her j
bi other's gifts, and yet she might won i
der ut my non-appearance, having been |
told of my mission by Thompson. On |
the other hand, I loathed the idea of
tarrying at Mcntone where the mishap i
had occurred.
In the midst of my perplexities I
heard the day after the robbery that sus- I
picious characters had been traced to j
Marseilles, one of whom might turn out |
to be the man we desired to entrap. I
Marseilles being a step towards Mary, I!
decided to betake myself thither to find I
out if there was any truth iu this state- j
ment.
My only companion in the railway !
carriage was a sharp-featured lady of un- j
I certain age, with multitudinous parcels j
and bogs. Not wishing to annoy her :
with attempts at conversation which ;
might be unwelcome, I retired behind
my newspaper, and forgot the lady's cx-'j
j is ten ce.
Though I stared fixedly at the printed
page, my mind was miles away with j
Mary, whom I was fated, perhaps, never ;
to see.
' Mr bitter-sweet reverie was disturbed j
1 unexpectedly by my travelling compan- ]
ion twitching nervously at the corner of !
my paper. I looked at her in a9ton j
! ishment, and saw that she was much ,
agitated; she drew the paper from my
hand, pressing her linger to her lips to ;
en join silence,
j "I'm in for some sort of a romantic
set-to with a crazy woman," I thought
to myself, as 1 involuntarily glanced at j
the alarm signal on the wall opposite, j
| The lady wrote hastily some words |
: upon the margin of my paper, which she
then returned,
j I read:—
| "There is a man hidden uuder the !
seat. Arc wc in danger of au attack?" I
Much puzzled to know whether my
i companion was oil her head, or really '
frightened with cause, I wrote in reply:
"Are you sure? Did you see him get
! in?"
"No, I felt him; he clutched my foot,"
i was scribbled hastily beneath my query.
! It was clearly my duty to investigate
the cause of my fair neighbor's growing
! alarm; so with astute caution I asked,
with marked distinction, if the lady ob
jected to tobacco smoke, contorting my
lace the while with signs that she was
i not to answer in the negative,
j She confessed to a decided preference
| for the odor of a good cigar.
"Thank you for the permission,
madam; deprived of my smoke, I really
; sufi'er."
i It was such a relief to speak after our
1 solemn interchange of written sentiments
upon tho ragged edge of the Times, that
I I was prepared to give utterance to any
j amount of garrulous platitudes. I lighted
a match, talking volubly the while, and
| when it was blazing, purposely dropped
I it upon the floor, exclaiming at my own 1
awkwardness:
"It was my last match, too. I really
must try to save a spark of it to light my j
j cigar."
I stooped to pick up the burned frag- (
mcnts, and took one sharp, corapre- |
hensive glance beneath the seat. My j
, companion was right—a man lay |
crouched and huddled there among the j
j shadows. His face was turned away,
j but I saw his hand clearly, upon the
back of which the scar was visible >
through the dirt and grime,
j At sight of this villainous-looking l
hand, my heart began a merry dance. !
Not from fear -my self-respect obliges
me to protest against this possible impu- !
tation- but because we seemed to have |
in our clutches the rogue who had stolen '
poor Tom's medals.
I might dare to present myself before |
Mary, after all, instead of hanging back
like a whipped hound.
"Am I not right?" the lady said, with ,
her eyes this time, instead of with her
pencil.
1 "Yes," I wrote; "we must give the
i fellow in charge as soon as possible.
| Don't let him know we suspect his
! presence."
| I reliected that our precaution of
j writing everything referring to the cul
! prit was perhaps needless, as a common
| thief from the Riviera would scarcely be
i likely to understand English, still, in
, such cases, the extreme of prudence was
better than the lack of it altogether.
| The half-liour elapsing between the
: discovery of this man and our arrival at
( the next station was fraught with ill- I
j concealed terror for the sharp-faced lady, I
| and much repressed excitement for me.
: t\ ould tho man dash out, and either at
i tack me or make good his escape before
j tho train stopped: Far better for me to
be worsted in a tussle with him than to
I se him and his booty for ever. I could I
- : not form a guess as to his strength, not !
having seen more of him than his branded 1
1 band. For the lady's sake, 1 devoutly '
' | hoped that we might be spared a scuttle, j
r j Presently, to my intense relief, the I
J train began to slacken its speed, and the
f : hoarse voice of the guard shouting the
* | name of the station sounded like celestial
i music in my cars.
1 seized upon the first official I could
1 find as we stopped, and he collecting the
21 desired force, made short work of nr
I ' resting the man who was stealing his
i ride. He was dragged forth with very
I"! little resistance; he saw how useless a
! fight would be, and was soon in safe
custody.
I To my inexpressible joy, poor Tom's
• medals were found upon the thief's pei
son, together with the greater part of my
: ' aunt's property.
Two days later I was in Paris and the i
happy recipient of au invitation from !
Miss Marsaen to dine with her at the
villa where she was temporarily lodged,
teu minutes'distance by rail from the j
city.
Lovely, dark-eyed Mary, pale as a lily
• in her black dress; my heart went out to
her in sympathy for her great sorrow. I
loved her from the moment when she put
both her hands in mine and welcomed
me as a friend and companion of her lost
brother, and before munv weeks had
passed by I had won from her the assur
ance that my love was returned.—

A WORM EATING PLANT.
Curious Evolutions of Nature in New
Zealand.
One of the officers of the steamer Mari
posa had a sort of a missing link on ex
hibition yesterday. It is a combination
of animal and vegetable life called bul
rush caterpillar in New Zealand, of
which country "it" (or they) is (or are)
native.
The caterpillar part of the specimen is
just au ordinary every day caterpillar, of
the kind scientists cail the Sphceria Ro
bcrtsia.
The bulrush part of it grows out of the
back of the worm's head, and but for the
fact that it has a fork iu it it could not
pose as a miniature American bulrush of
tho kind commonly known as cattails.
It i 9 about eight inches high, and hn3
"whiskers" at the tip just as a cattail
has.
The catterpillar is only three inches
long.
He was quite dead, of course, and care
j ful dissection showed that the root of the
j bulrush had eaten out every particle of
j the woiill's interior, so that the hairy
] hide simply formed a shell to cover the
I root.
I The plant is scientifically known as
I mctrosiaeres robust a. It grows in New
Zealand in more profusion than this par
ticular variety of caterpillar does. While
! the bulrushes are frequently found with
out the caterpillar, it is seldom that the
i caterpilhu is found without some bulrush
jis using him for a vegetating pot, and
| the extra size of tho rushes that spring
J from the caterpillar betoken that there is
a natural affinity for flesh on the part of
the plant.
I Those who have investigated the sub
| ject of the strange combination state that
the caterpillar burrows in vegetable soil
I prior to its metamorphosis, and in its
burrowing gets some of the minute seeds
j of the bulrush lodged in the scales of the
j neck. Nourished by the warmth, tnois
j ture and richness of the iusect's body,
the seeds strike root into the unfortunate
caterpillar's brain. The change into
I chrysalis is at once stopped, and after a
j few days the caterpillar dies, whereupon
the bulrush proceeds to convert the en-
I tire animal substance into plant life.
! The hide undergoes this change also,
but does not lose its form, anu many
specimens possess the horns, legs and
! ( laws intact but for the transformation
of substance from animal to vegetable,
j The bulrush pursues its way uninter
rupted until every particle of the cater
pillar is transformed, when it, too, dies,
and the hunch of seeds at the top blow
l away to chase other worm vitcims.
The native New Zealandcr is very fond
of the combination when it is fresh for
j food, and when evolution is complete
; for coloring matter to be used in their
| tattooing.
| Decomposition has never been known
to occur in a case where the rush com
pleted its deadly work. The plant usu
ally completes it, too, for if the stalk is
; I broken off during growth a second one
j immediately sprouts just below the
• j wound.—[Sun Francisco Examiner,
' Hawaiia's Leper Colony.
, I The leper community is on the island
of Molokai, iu the Hawaiian archipelago.
H On this island are a number of precipi
-3 ( tous peaks, and at the base of one of
I these, which is 0,000 feet high, lie the
Kalaupapa plains, stretching seaward,
I and wholly without communication with
, j the rest of the island, except by sea, as
r | the wall of rock stretches on either side
|to the water's edge. To this plain, thus
r I isolated by nature, all lepers are ban
i | ished as soon as the first symptoms of the
disease appear. This settlement was
! formed by order of the king in 1800, for
it was found that, in spite of stringent
I commands to secure the isolation of in
dividual cases, these could not be carried
out while the lepers were allowed to live
I with their families and friends. Out
side of the fact that the lepers are dc
j barred from any direct communication
I with non-infected persons, no restriction
,is laid upon them. Their village, which
| has usually an average of about eight
i hundred persons, has its churches,
I schools and stores as other villages have,
j and also government officers. The gov
j ernment provides all with shelter, nec
essary clothing, and daily rations of good
| food ; for all luxuries they must depend
i upon their own resources or tho gener
j osity of friends. Medicine and the at
| tendance of a physician are provided by
( the government, which also appropriates
I $*20,000 a year, a certain portion of
: which is to be given for every instance
| of actual cure in the case of a leper. All
| officials of the island are lepers; the
i teachers and ministers, with the exception
. of a Roman Catholic priest, arc lepers.
I These unfortunates employ themselves
•in many ways; have a band of music
and a military drill. There is a large
hospital kept in admirable condition in
which the more advanced and serious
cases arc cared. Their disease is the
Chinese leprosy, in which the flesh be
comes discolored and decays.—[New

Horned Toads from Texas.
The latest arrivals at the Central Park
menagerie, New York city, who are well
worth attention, but probably will not get
it, owing to their small size and retiring
habits, arc four horned toads from Texas.
| They were sent by Mr. P. B. Goodnow.
They look more like fantastic objects
made of painted cardboard than living
things. They are not toads at all, but
members of the lizard family. The reptiles
average about four inches in length from
their heads to the ends of their tails.
The skin of their backs is hard and curi
j ously knotted, and covered by a fantastic
. pattern in faint blue and pink. Crawling
in the sand they are scarcely noticeable,
j but against a darker ground they look
' very pretty. Their heads and tails are
, fringed with spikes, and there is a circle
■ of these on their backs. They have been
1 put in tho snakes' cage, where, if they
i were ordinary juicy garden toads, they
l i would soon bo digested, but being horned
J I lizards they are in no such danger. The
; GOBBI per has often seen these horned
s j frogs in Texas, and pondered over the
•' j curious construction of their internal
1 affairs, which enables them to survive an
2 j indefinite length of time without food.
In 1878 in Dcnison one of these toads,

months, was exhibited alive to the lowa

AVAILABLE T.A iiX'&L
Remaining Capacity of tn* Earth
For Settlement.
The subject of the lands of the globe
still available for European settlement
was discussed at a joint meeting of the
Geographical and Economical Science
Sections of the British Association. Mr.
G. E. ltavcnstein reviewed the capacity
of different parts of the earth, excluding
the arctic and antarctic regions as wholly
unavailable, to accommodate population,
lie estimated the total number of per
sons whom the earth could feed at
5,t-09,000,000. The kind of population
with which it shall be inhabited will de
pend to a large extent on the capacity of
Europeans to thrive iu strange climates,
lie spoke of the tendency of population
to move to the southward, but did not
think tropical climates adapted to the
acclimatization of European races in the
sense in which the word acclimatization
is generally used. The health of Euro
peans in tropical countries had improved
in consequence of sanitary measures, but
that was not all. Population iu some
rountries did not increase, and where
they could compare the facts col
lected iu the same country, they
found that the superior race increased
at a slower rate than the inferior
race. That would, in course of time,
keep back the growth of population,
and, in fact, the whole of mankind was
being gradually lifted up to a higher
level. If only the superior, not the in
ferior, people increased, the speaker did
not think the progress of civilization
would be quite so steady. Mr. E. J.
Marend, after his experience in Africa,
wa9 of the opinion that the prevalent
idea that tropical regions arc unsuited to
colonization by Anglo-Saxons is mis
taken. Englishmen live for years iu
Matabeleland, bringing up their children
and keeping their health. Traders,
missionaries and Dutchmen are all able
to thrive there, and the country is com
petent to provide the food supplies for a
large population. Sir lb Hawson believed
that the proportion of land iu the differ
ent zones is as follows: About fifty per
cent, of the whole is in the temperate
zone, about forty per cent, in the torrid
zone, and about a tenth in the arctic
zone. Before going further in dealing
with a future home for the surplus pop
ulation of Europe, we must ascertain the
zones that are suited to a Europeau pop
ulation. The surplus population of Eng
land and the north of Europe could oc
cupy only a temperate zone. It was also
essential that we should knowliow much
is available iu each of the zones. Mr.
John Mackenzie's experience had
shown him that South Africa is
habitable for both the north and
south Europeans. The Rev. Dr.
Cunningham pointed out that the inten
sity of production might be much in
creased through the direction of native
agriculture by European intelligence.
Mr. Wells, a traveler in Brazil, called
attention to an aica in the south of that
country which might be called the Traus
vaal of South America. To the north
west of liio lay a considerable coffee pro
ducing area, with an exceedingly healthy
climate, and the productive powers of
the country were far indeed from beiug
approximately reached. Several speakers
meutioned the necessity of emigrants to
the south adapting their mode of life to
the changed climate, and insisted on the
necessity of temperance. Dr. J. G. Gar
son said the question of drainnge was
most important, though it often occurs
that the first steps toward sanitation arc
followed by outbreaks of fever, arising
from saturation of the soil by sewage.
Elevation above the sea-level exerted
much influence on health, though the
groat thing for emigrants was to choose
a climate as nearly as possible like that
to which they were used. —[Popular

How Lime is Secreted.
The manner of secretion of lime by egg
or shell-producing animals, as birds, mol
lusks and crustaceans, has been made a
study at the Scottish Marine Station for
scientific research. Messrs. Murray and
Irvine, in charge of the station, have
given the results of their investigations
in a recent paper read before the Royal
Society of Edinburgh.
In this paper they describe the manner
in which kens procure the lime for cover
ing their eggs. A number of hens were
shut up in a wooden building where no
lime could be procured, ana were fed
upon food in which no Jimc was con -
tained. For a few days the eggs laid
were covered with the usual shells, but
soon afterwards they had only a mem
braneous covering, and were what are
commonly known as soft eggs. Then
lime in the form of sulfiliate, phosphate,
nitrate and silicate was mixed with the
food, and the eggs were covered with
the usual shells, consisting of carbonate
of lime only. It was believed that phos
phate of lime was formed in the blood
from the lime salts given, and that the
phosphate was decomposed in the act of
secretion of the shells and was changed
into carbonate. This being so, it fol
lows that the feeding of crushed bones,
which are digestible, to hens is the best
way in which to supply tho lime, the
phosphoric acid of the bones aiding iu
the formation of the interior portion of
the eggs.—[Farmers' Magazine.
