One of the most charming pets we have kept, and the most particular as to washing and brushing its feet and fur, was a lovely bryvu opossum from Tas mania. "Sooty phalnngist" was, we be lieve, its scientific name. It was cov ered with deep rich brown fnr, had a face something like fox, a jink nose, hwds with a r.aiiles.s thumb, ami long claws on the fingers. It washed its feet every two or Ihree minute. Water rats are very clean animals, and wash and brush their faces, "like Christians. "' We saw one on a poud at Welling, iu Kent, swim out 1 pick up the blossoms of an acacia tree which were falliug ou the water. After daintily eating each flower on the bank he licked Ins hands, wiped his mus taches and swain oft for another. We also tried an acacia blossom, but except a tlightly weet flavor, could find noth ing to accouut lor the rat's taste for them. Sporting dogs, which are used in mud, tnow and wet, are strangely clever and quick in cleaning and drying their coat-?, and it is a suro Mgn that a dog ha- b-eu over tired if he shows ato trace of mud or- Out neifc morning, ilost of their toilet, i dono with the tongue, bat they very ckvt r :.i us ing a thick box bush or the ;,i.h- of a haystack as a rough towel. One small spaniel which we allowed to live in the houe was well aware that if he returned dirty he would not be admitted indoors. About an hour before the dost? of the day's i looting he u-ed to strike work ami begin to clean himself, and if urged to do more would slip oil' iiome and pre sent himself neat and (dean in the din ing room.

In passing a drug store I noticed an oil paint in"; placed in the window for exhibition. While looking at it I sud denly saw a small dark object spring out from a crevice near the window, leap high into the air, make a quick move ment an I drop back to the floor. So quick was tho motion that it was ail over before it reached my brain that what I had seen v.;.- a mouse. The little creature, now sat looking intently at m. as if to say, "What did y.u think of that?" while Jit the same time 1 observed that by its cat like movement it had se cured something which it was chewing with great relish. Presently the mouse stealthily con--"al':-d jt.-elf iu an opening and left only its poitr.eu nose visible. It remained perfectly still; not a muscle moves:. Then a fiy (lew past. 0uick as light ning the sprang into the air. caught the iic eci iu its mouth, devoured it greedily ami resumed its former posi tion. This wa- repeated several rimes within a few minnres. In every movement the mouse shelved cuniiiiig ;:nd quickness similar to that of its much dreaded ene my the cat. I wondered if it had profited by the le: -sons its old enemy had laught it. It never faih d to catch its prey as it flew wit hi to light upon the Youth's C i i": pa i i i on . reach or chanced piate glass. Cor. The Ii','iihici.-in "An interesting avf tl.o S-iits. little incident oo- enrreu at the Theatre de Varieties,' writes a New York r traveling in France toan acquaintance in this city. A young Missourian. accompanied by a lady, found to his annoyance that his seats hat been appropriated by a military looking individual. Ite explained the situation to the attendant, but that func tionary was too frightened to do any thing in the affair, and the American learned from bj-standers that the in truder was Capt. C . a famous duel ist and bully of the Cuirassiers. "I am sorry to disturb you, monsieur," he said, walking to the captain, "but yon have my seats." The reply of the captain translated into Fourth ward patois would be. "What are you going to do about it?'' "Nothing now,"' quietly replied the son of the States. "I have a lady with me. But. as you leave the theatre to night I shall shoot you through the head. Uood evening."' While the American was returning to the hotel wit h the lady the cavalryman left the theatre and took the express train for Munich. New York Tribune. Political Way Ar Mysterious.

Finally they began a whi -pored omvtr sation and kept pointing to an article rin a counter; then the oldest reached the counter and timidly asked the sales woman the price of a red worsted hotal. The answer was, "Two dollars and twenty-five cents." Tho little girl's counte nance fell, and opening her hand she began to count some pennies sho held. The open hand showed the lady just nine cents-. The little one joined her sister. She was disappointed, and the two girls counted their money over ami ovr, then to ;'.; another l.,ok at the hood aud walked away. The lady ma le her way to the conifer, and, making a confidant of the sales-.voTJiMn, told her she wanted the little ones to have tho hood, for which she would pay hrs-lf. but did not intend that the girls should know that it was not their own mony that berught the hood. The saleswoman became interested at once, and leaning forward she beckoned to the girls and said. "How much money can you pay for this beaut iful rod hood?"1 The eyes of both brightened, and with out av.wering the child put forward all sir- ha 1 i:i tin: world her nine pennies. "What are yon going to do with this h.Mid." the saleswoman asheil. "C.'vo it to niam:;::i for her Christ ina''." '-claimed both at once. The L: Iv tun:-! away and phrvd her hari'i:ej-ce.;ef to her face to hide the t. that filled Iter eyes. Another qu-s-t'cTt made her turn toward the children t'.ga'n. - -T i -1 you Chvi.-'.ma:,?"

Tic money was luo.'d'-l over, the pie-';-age done uj. and tile little ones went away happy, both wauling to carry the precious bundle, ."u 1 both laughing and crying with d'-i ig'if about the present for mamma. The following morning just as the so re was opened a poor woman entered villi a small bnrid!. and two little girl--. After looking around the older girl pointed to the hood counter ami was at once recognized by the friendly sales woman. The party walked Inward the counter and the older girl, pointing to the sale-woman, said. "That's her." The little ones were trent!.:'';:::': ihe mother lee!;.- d anxious, and could hard ly ask. "Did this l.ou I come from here, miss?" The saleswoman not icr-d the bundle. ami r. .vrei "Well." sa'd the mother, "that hood is marked ."j:2.2.", and my little girls tell me they bought it for nine cents. I have never known them to lie to me, but I am sorry to say I could not believe th"tn this time. I was so afraid to come into i he store and ask. but I must know the truth; please tell me about it. for 1 havei.'i slept a wink all night, though the 11 n le girls styd it was a Chri -i ma present . and I was afraid I was afraid'" the tears now stopped the mother's words. The saleswoman could stand it no longer and leaning over the counter she whispered the whole story to the mot her. The oldest girl could not understand why her mother took her in her ami and kissed her. Then all three went home. Sadie Loraiue Handy, 12 years old, in New York Telegram. The I'rajer A heel of India. The prayer wheel consists of a metal box abtiut as big around as one which holds boot blacking, and about twice as deep. Through it a wire is stuck, and is fastened into a handle a foot long.
