BIG CATS AND CATNIP.
Leopard and Tiger Fairly Reveled In
the Odorous Plant.
Some one at the Wf^dngton zoolog
ical park obtained tbe permission of
tbe authorities to try the effect of cat
nip on the animals there. So far as
known catnip does not grow in the
native homes of these animals, and
this was the first time they had ever
smelled it
Tbe scent of the plant filled the
whole place, and ns soon as it reached
the pnrrots’ corner the two gaudily at
tired macaws set up a note that told
fearfully on the nerves of all and
made for thnt side of their cage, pok
ing their beaks and claws through it.
When tbe catnip was brought near
them they became nearly frantic.
They were given some and devoured
It, stem, leaf and blossom, with an
eagerness that equaled the noise of
their cries.
Next trial was made on an African
leopard. Before the keepers had reach
ed the front of the cage he had bound
ed from the shelf whereon he lay, ap
parently asleep, and stood expectant
A double handful of catnip was passed
through to the floor of the den.
Never was the prey of this spotted
African in his wild state pounced
upon more savagely or with such abso
lute enjoyment First the leopard ate
a mouthful of the stuff, then lay flat
on his back and wiggled through the
green mass until his black spotted yel
low hide was filled with the odor. Just
as you have sen a cat act when it re
ceives some catnip.
Then he sat on a bunch of the cat
nip, caught a leaf laden stem up in
either paw and rubbed his cheeks,
chin, nose, eyes and head. He ate an
additional mouthful or two and then
Jumped bnclc to his shelf, where he
lay the rest of the afternoon, the very
picture of contentment
In one tiger’s cage there is a very
young but full grown animal. When
this great, surly beast inhaled the first
sniff of the catnip he began to mew
like a kitten. Up to this time the soft
est note of his voice had been one
which put the roar of the big maned
lion near him to shame.
That vicious tiger fairly reveled in
the liberal allowance of the plant
which was thrust into bis cage. He
rolled about in it and played like a
six-weeks-old kitten. He mewed and
purred, tossed it about, ate of it and,
after getting about ns liberal a dose
ns the leopard hnd, likewise Jumped
to his shelf and blinked lazily the rest
of the day.—New York Herald.
HIS MOST ANXIOUS MOMENT.
When Dewey Feared Ho Might Be
Branded aa a Coward.
Admiral Dewey tells In his autobi
ography the story of his most anxious
moment. It was when he was execu
tive officer of the warship Mississippi.
After passing the forts at New Orleans
his ship was nbout to sink under Are,
and tlie crew hnd to be taken ofT In
boats. There were not enough boats,
and the danger of a magazine explo
sion became so great that the crews
showed Increasing hesitation In return
ing for another load. On a sudden Im
pulse Dewey Jumped Into one of the
boats to go after the rowers and com
pel them to return. He continues:
‘‘Not until we were free of the ship
did I have a second thought In realiza
tion of what I hnd done. I had left
my ship In distress when It Is the rule
that the last man to leave her should
be the captain, and I ns executive offi
cer should be next to the last
“That was the most anxious moment
of my career. What If a shot should
sink the boat? What if a rifle bullet
should get me? All the world would
say that I hnd been guilty of nbout as
craven an act as can be placed at the
door of an officer. This would not be
pleasant rending for my father up In
Vermont. He would no longer think
that I had done the ‘rest’ reasonably
well. If the ship should blow up
while I was away and I should appear
on the reports ns saved probably peo
ple would smile over my explanation.”
As it turned out, however, the maga
zine did not explode, and Dewey’s
presence was needed to bring the boat
crews back and save the men still on
the sinking ship.
A RACE FOR FOOD
It Was Slow and Painful and Over
Arctic Ice Fields.
PLIGHT OF TWO EXPLORERS.
Thair Fight Against Death by Starva
tion and the Visione That Were Con
jured Up by the Torture of the Mad
dening Pangs of Hunger.
The terrible phantom that haunts
every traveler In the desert is the pos
sibility that he wilt not find water.
The arctic explorer rarely suffers from
thirst, but another danger, equally
terrible und menacing, is always on his
trail—starvation.
In "Lost In the Arctic" Captain
Ejnar Mikkelsen, the explorer who
after having been given up for ueau
for over two rears, mi.- pi, lied up In
east t two in,i oy a sailing vessel,
g.ve.- a graphic account of his race
against hunger. Their sledge dogs
dead, their outfits abandoned, every
morsel of food long since devoured,
tbe only hope of Mikkelsen and his
companion was to reach 17 Kilometer
Naesset where, on the fall trip, they
had left a few tins of food.
"Every two hours we make a short
halt, hut tlie rest is spoiled by the
thought of tbe uncomfortable quarter
of an hour that awaits us when we
start and try to get our stiffened mus
cles into working order again. Our
feet especially are very painful; the
ankles are swollen and horribly tender.
"Tile [tangs of hunger increase every
minute. For my own part, 1 can
think of nothing hut food. At first my
thoughts dwell upon till sorts of dishes,
hut gradually they concentrate them
selves upon sandwiches—Danish sand
wiches In particular my fancy turns
upon the food that I have seen given
away to beggars, and I grow furious
at the thought of the contempt with
which these gentry often regard such
gifts.
“Gradually the thought takes posses
sion of me that 1 am walking In the
streets of Copenhagen, eagerly on the
lookout for sandwiches. Suddenly I
spy what I ain seeking, a little white
object lying to the right of me. I turn
to pick it up. but ns I stop my foot
strikes against a stone. The shock
brings me back to stern reality. 1
take in my belt und stagger on again.
"Iverson is in no better case. I notice
that he frequently stops and peers
through the fieldglass at something on
ahead; then he lets the glass fall again,
with a shake of the head. Once or
twice I ask what he Is looking at, but
the answer is always the same—he
thought be had discovered a case of
provisions, but it turned out to be a
rock.
"According to our reckoning, we
ought to reach 17 Kilometer Naesset
by about 6 in the evening. We keep a
sharp lookout for the point and sight
something about 4 o’clock that looks
like It. Once more, however, we are
doomed to disappointment It is not
tlie point.
“We pass many old camping places,
relies of the Denmark expedition; but,
although we search long and carefully
among tlie old tins for any remains of
food, we And nothing In the gather
ing darkness every point we approach
seems to us the'one we seek. Encour
aged by the thought of food, we re
double our efforts. But when we get
close enough to see that it Is not the
point our flickering tlauie of energy
dies down, and we stagger sullenly
along with bowed bends
"We have uo longer any idea of our
whereabouts, and it Is indescribably
uncanny to see time after time the
same headland with the two small hII
loqks at Its foot, the ghost of 17 Kilo
meter Naesset. About 10 o’clock, half
mad with hunger and exhaustion, we
give It up and, creeping as close to
gether as possible, try to sleep. But
the [inln In Iversen’s leg Is so great
that he cannot sleep, and he Is half out
of his mind. He wakes me at mid
night and begs me to go on
"It Is bitterly cold, and the wind has
shifted so that it Is blowing In our
faces Staggering unsteadily and feel
Inc our way with our sticks, off we go
Into tlie darkness.
•T'tmilly. after another long march,
we sight a point that resembles 17
Kilometer Naesset. and this time It Is
no trick of the Imagination. The race
Is won. for at the point w» tlnd fuel
and tins of soup and pens.”
Ancient Memphis
Over the site of the nnetent city of
Memphis, once the fair city of the
world, now buried by a thick deposit
or Nile mud, stand stntely palms,
which yield a luscious fruit. Over the
city the peasant Egyptians carry on
their agricultural pursuits, and the
palms yield the entire food of the
peasants during a large part of the
year.—Argonaut
Carrying a Point.
“You made some enemies," said the
consoling friend, "but you carried your
point.”
“Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum,
"sometimes a man carries a point with
about the same amount of personal
comfort that be derives from sitting on
a tack.”—Washington Star.
