Snvape man, who has generally been first iu contact with animals, is usually a hunter, and therefore an object of dis like to the other hunting animals and of dread to the hunted. I!ut civilized man, with his supply of bread aud beef, is not necessarily a hunter, audit is just as conceivable that he nihht be eon tent to leave the animals in a new ly dis covered country unmolested and conde scend, when not better employed, to watch their attitude toward himself, says the l'opular Science Monthly. The impossible island in "The Swiss Fam ily Robinson," in which half the an imals in the two hemispheres were collected, would be an ideal place for such an experimtmt. lint, unfortunate ly, uninhabited islands seldom contain more than a few species, and those pen erally birds or sea beasts, and in newly discovered (fame regions savago man has generally been before us with his arrow, spear and pitfall. Some instance of the first contact of animals with man have, however, been preserved in the accounts of the early voyages col lected by llakluyt and others, though the hungry navigators were generally more intent on victualing their ships with the unsuspecting beasts and birds or on noting those which would bo use ful commodities for "truflieke" than in cultivating friendly relat ions with the animal inhabitants of the newly dis covered islands. -V lleserted Spanish Town, An interesting discovery was recently made by Special Agent Horn of tiie interior department, says the Xew Or leans Tieayuue, while traveling in Oklahoma, through a territory that the foot of white men has seldom reached. In a wide canyon among the mountains lie came across the ruins of an ancient c alled city that showed many evidences of Spanish civilization. The Indians who guided him to the scone told him that their traditions related that men I'.ad come there, built a tow n and dug from the earth much precious mot:;! which they melted into yellow bars ami carried away with them to the south. After awhile the metal became scarce -ml many of the people left, the re .naming ones being finally massacred by the Indians. Near the town were the ruins of a large furnace, in which were tons upon tons c.f wood ashes, and not fur from this old lurnace uppearei' o be an old wovked-otit ijinirU lead. Tlpplloj Oleri-yraeii. It is the custom in the large towns of Germany for the clergy and laym of each sect, to form themselves into "clubs," and it is not an infro.-tio:it :.I;-Iit of en evening to -co a "reverend gent" navigating the street-, iu a slight :ate of inebriation. One night, a cer tain Frankfort priest had partaken of so much at the club that he could hardly stand on his feet, and was being taken home by a friend. On t'.r; way they ran ucroi-i a man. stupidly drunk, lying in the gutter. The priest, taking compassion on him, said to his com panion: "Here. Hans, lean t:ie up against this post uud pick that pig up out of the gutter." A Temptiii'r .sight. A pretty story is told of uohlcmni .vhom his barber left lialf-shuved and in a i;reat hurry. His lordship thought the man was mad. and sent to inquire after him. lie returned In porson am! thus explained himself; "I was not mad. my lord, but the sight of that heap of guineas on year dressing table and the remembrnnce of my starving fam ily so affected u that if I had stayed another minute ! :.;iou.ld have cut your throat" "I am glad you didn't do thBt,'a!d his lortl-.hip. gently; "hud by all means take the guincus. I won them at the ganiblmg-tr.bin, and should doubtless havo lot them them" A Fakir Traveling as Freight. The practice of binding religious per sons still exists in India. An incident occurred recently at Merut- A fakir, wearing nearly bve maunds (four hun dred pounds) of iron chains and band on him. recently left the cantonment station. The railway authorities de clined to allow him to travel aa pas aengcr, but sent him aa freight by weight in spite of his argument that native women were never charged for their anUiots and bangle. The iron absorbed tho heat no much that the roan had to bo Incessantly sprinkled with water. He la an old man, and nearly died at the station. , HATETigUiITTE IN PARLIAMENT. Tile Stovepipe Species of Headgear Is th Only Correct Thing. Nowhere is the unwritten law o) fashion in regard to head covering more strict than at Westminster, says tht Yorkshire Post. The chimney pot is de rigueur. A man may give his fancy considerable play In the matter ol clothes, but the great hat ordinance must be observed. The only concession made is in the case of the messengers of the opposition whips, who wear the plebeian billycock. Hut this is not be cause tho men themselves prefer the more humble headgear. They are com pelled to vvenr it, presumably ns a badge of the fallen condition of their employers, and when the government changes hands the messengers of the two parties will, metaphorically speak ing, change hats. To the hater of the tall hat the worst of all this is that he may not even enjoy the luxury of going about without a hr.t. Parliamentary custom has ordained that the whips ol the respective parties shall be the only people, save tho uniformed servants of the house, who shall appear in the lobby or anywhere within the precincts of the house without a hat. Should you chance to oifend against this rule you are soon made awn re of your de linquency by the frowns of the gf'at ones In authority, who Insist on the covered hend with as nuieh emphasis as the custodian of the Mohammedan mosque insists on the removal of the shoes. The hat therefore plays a great part in parliamentary life, and on that ac count the headgear of the new mem bers is very critically inspected by their brother legislators who had previous experience of parliamentary life. On the whole the budding statesman seems to have a pretty accurate notion of what the necessities of the situation demand, and the hats are en regie. Even Dad abhai Naoroji, the 1'arsee member for Finsbury, wore the orthodox "stove pipe," though in doing so he broke one of the most stringent sumptuary rites of his race and placed himself in danger of excommunication. There were, how ever, some notaiile exceptions to the general rule. Mr. Hums, for example, figured in the democratic billycock and Mr. Davitt in a tourist's hat of soft felt, while Mr. Keir Hardio sported a mar velous arrangement in the shupo of it tiny tweed cap such as railway travel ers affect. SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS. Although They Have to Do with Crime They Are ol Interest to All. Every reader knows what absurd con clusions as to the social and moral con dition of a country are often drawn from imperfect statistics, but Dr. William Duffleld Robinson, physician for ten years to the eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania, has figured some facts down to a fine point. He declares that the sentence to the penitentiary may bo taken as fairly representative of the to tal amount of crime prevailing in the entire district from which it receives prisoners, and that the extent of terri tory and period of time covered bv the calculation make the deductions a fair index of the criminal phenomena of the whole country. Ho argues that reformation is practic able from the fact that one-third of the criminals are between twenty and twenty-five years of ago. Ho finds that men of sixty are about right times as trustworthy as men of twentv-ilve.or, to put it in another way, of eight men who are criminals at twenty-live seven will bo law-abiding citizens at sixty. A ter ror of the law has brought about the reformation in most cases, he thinks. It is true that an ovorwhelmiii" ma jority of criminals are young, but does it follow that most of them reform as they grow older? Is it not likely that they die twice as fast as other men? His division of crimes as to the ago when they are most common is very in teresting, lie conclude that personal assaults, including assault anil batterv in till forms, mayhem, poisoning and sennuul crimes, aro steadily on the in crease, and forgery and counterfeiting n the decline. THE LOYALIST ARISTOCRACY. The Survival of the ISrltlili Social Code In Lower Canada. "The exclude social life of Salem and Portsmouth have long had its coun terpart In that of these old Xova Scotia towns," writes Arthur Wentworth Eaton, in the Xew England Magazine. "There was not one of them which did not have its little aristocracy of coun try squires and landowners und lawyers and judges, about whom us a brilliant center the social life of the township or the county revolved. The influx of Tory blood and culture into tho society of the province between 1770 and 17SSis in great purt accountable for the strongly l'.rltish and intensely aristo cratic feeling which always in old times prevailed, but no one can know the con ditions of life in Nova Scotia without feeling that even Puritanism, under monarchical institutions and not, as in New England, sopuiate from the Influ ence of the mother country, is in some ways very different from Puritanism under a republic and in democratic environment. Perhaps the most Im portant of these Nova Scotia towns was Windsor, tho scat of Kings college, the oldest colonial college of the ltrit -Ish empire. Its early population was a mixture of New England people, Scotch. Irish, and r-otirtMl Enaliah of fleers, and it was commonly conceded, at least In Windsor Itself, that nowhere nut of London oould such good society ) found. " An Adlrondaek Dear fltory. The Kingston (N. Y.) Express saya that often, when the natives In the Catakills have a bear in a trap as that he can bo kept there for awhile with out any danger of escape, they notify some New York sportsman (?) of the capture, and give him a chance to come np and shoot the bear. Then the sportsman can go back to the city with the bear's hid and truthfully say to his friends that he shot the animal, and from his Imagination manufacture such a tale of hair-breadth escape and ad ventures as will best suit hi taste and is calculated to awoken enthusiasts admiration. THE CONSCRIPTION PLAN. A Law That Loses More to si Nation Thau Is C.aiued by It. When the gain of what is termed a whole nation under arms is estimated, the exaggeration, says the Fortnightly Review, of the pompous phrases hides the nakedness of tho fact that large numbers of young men are lost to their country by the means to which they resort to escape military service. In Italy and Germany these may be counts ed by legions; in France men are less numerous, because in France men are more wedded to the native soil, aud take to service more gayly and more naturally, but in Italy and Germany thousands flock to immigrant ships, thus choosing life-long self-expatriation, Hiid every year, us the military and fiscal burdens grow heavier, will lads go away by preference to lands where, however hard be the work, the dreaded voice of the drill sergeant can not reach them, and they can "call their souls their own." Patriotism Is a fine quality, no doubt, but it does not accord with the chill and supercilious apathy which charac terizes the general teaching and temper of this ago, and u young man may bo pardoned if he deem that his country Is less a mother worthy of love than a cruel und unworthy stepmother, when she demands three of the fairest years of his life to be spent In a barrack yard, and wrings his ears till the blood drops from them or boats him about the head with the butt of a musket because ho does not hold his chin high enough or shift his feet quickly enough. MORE WOMEN THAN MEN. Figures Showing- That the Popular Kz plnnutlon Is Not a True One. It is a well-known fact, says the Chi cago Mail, that there are more females than males iimong the civilized Chris tian nations of the world, and scholars have generally asserted that the cause of the differences was the frequent wars in which many males, but no fe males were killed. Statistics now proves this theory altogether erroneous. If it were correct, those nations which have had most wars onght to have the greatest preponderance of women, chief among them France and Germany. And the most peaceable nations ought to have nearly as many males ns fe males, lint statistics proves the con trary. Finland, a very peaceable coun try, heads the list with l,l:0 women to 1,000 men; Norway and Sweden, which have hardly had a war for the last two centuries, follow next with 1,070 womcu to 1,000 men. France, which has been carrying on more wars than any other great nation for nearly three centuries, has only 1,007 women to 1,000 men, the same as Belgium, the most peaceable nation on earth. Germany, the war like, nnd Switzerland, the peaceable, are both down in the list with 1,040 fe males to 1,000 males. In the llalkan peninsula where small warfare is being carried almost without ceasing, there are only ',14(1 females to 1,000 males, and in Greece nnd Hosnia only 000 females to 1,000 males. So, evidently, war has nothing to do with these inequalities in the number of sexes. Hut probably Charles Darwin in his theory of sexual selection with its influence on births, may offer an explanation more satis factory than that of deaths in war. IMIVJENSE AQUARIUMS. The Three I'lnces Where tho Largest In the World Are Found. The three largest aquariums in the .vorld are tho.-e at Brighton, Hamburg and Paris. The Brighton aquarium which takes the lead, has forty-one tanks, containing all varieties of fish, from the stickleback to the sturgeon. Its area is Tl." feet in length by 100 feet in breadth. Some of the tanks are of vast capacity. There is one in particu lar, which contains 100,000 gallons of water, and has a plate glass front, through which the habits of very largo fish may be studied. The Hamburg aquarium is nearly the sanio sizo aa that at Brighton. The Paris aquarium, belonging to the French Acclimatiza tion society, in the Bois do Boulogne, is fifty yards in length by about twelve in breadth, and contains forty tanks. All three, however, are about to be eclipsed by an aquarium at New York, whore the well-known depot of immi grationCastle Garden is to bo trans formed into an aquarium, which is to have 1.10 tanks for smaller fish, while there are to lie gigantic pool or pond tanks for sharks and other large and dangerous fish. A Queer Italian Inn. The only subsidized inn, perhaps, Is ou the island of Capri. Mine host, grate ful for the long-continued patronage of artists, who ore the chief foreign resi dents of the Island, and knowing that they are far from rich, left tho inn to his heirs with these curious conditions annexed: The charge per day, two bot tles of red Capri wine included, is never to bo more than six francs; if ony artist is too poor to pay so much he shall pay what he can, and paint a picture upon some wall space, receiving all the accommodations accorded to those pay ing the highest price; if any German artist who has failed as a student of art in Italy shall come to the inn he shall be accommodated, and shall receive the amount of his fare to Germany upon his promise never to return to Italy. Tho provisionsof tho will seem to havo been carried out faithfully, for the prices are nvxlernto, the rH wine ia always ob tainable and the walls of the inn are covered with paintings, the work of Impecunious artists. The Shah's Compromise. The shah of Persia, Nasr-ed-Din, was In England in 1873. When informed of the immense wealth of more than one of the English dukes, he calmly told the prince of Wale that all such sub jects wore dangerous, and therefore should be put to death, and zealously enjoined upon the prince the necessity of so doing. "But," replied the prince, "I cannot do that" "Yon." said tht hah, in astonishment "you, the heir to the throne, and cannot put a subject todeuthr . "By no means," said the prince, "without process of law," "Well, then." said the shah, politely, a if to compromise th matter, "I would I put out their eye." Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
