The babiroussa is an Indian hog. not a very pleasant sort of animal to look at. and an excriedingly disagreeable one to meet when it L- not in the best humor. It has two pairs of tusks, those in the lower jaw being somewhat like a wild boar' " but the pair which spring from the top of the upper jaw are very long, and carve inwani. almost touching the skin of the forehead. The upper tusks do not spring from between the lips, but cut their way through the skin, and have the appearance ofgrowing out of the upper part of the snout. The animal usually grows to the or dinary size of wild hogs, but some have been "killed that were as large as a donkey . It can run very fast, and is a most dangerous enemy when brought to bay. It L of a gray color, the skin hanging in folds or "wrinkles about the body, whieh is covered very thinly with short bristles. The tail b nearly with out hair, save at the end. where it forma a sort of tassel. The female has the merest apologies for tusks, the bone hardly showing through the skin, and in many casts she cannot even boast of that much. These animals hardly ever have a regular home, they wander from one part of the forest to the other, bat al ways in the wet. marshy portions, feed ing on leaves, grass and water plants. They are remarkably good swimmers. andoften cross large lakes rather than walk around them, and thev never hesi tate to take to the water when in flight. Swimmins: appears to be as much an in stinct with the youns babiroussas as with ducks, for they plunge boldly into the water as soon as they can walk. If -uddenly roused in its lair, instead of seeking -afety in Sight, the babiroussa rushes out upon its assailant with the utmost fury, and although its tusks are curved so nearly to the flesh, it can in dict most dangerous wounds. By the natives Its fieh is considered a great delicacy, and all the more so because they rarely succeed in killing one save at the expense of several live The-e hocr- usually are found in herds of six or eight, and the males a.- well a the females care or the young, petting them in their swinish way as human parents do their offspring. Savage as they are. there L- no more dangerous time to approach them than wsen the younr are -naIL The females will irather around the younc ones, whilt the male- will rush out to give battle without waiting for an attack. Funk, the naturalist of Cologne, tells of an encounter with a babirous-a which was related to him by a sea-Captain. Two sailors and three natives came suddenly upon a herd of five full-grown hogs and two young ones. The two females of the party immeiiiately covered the vounc with their bodies, while tb: males da-hed forward with such fury that all the oartv save one of the .k i sailors, were overturned, and at the mercy of the -avage brutes. One of the native was instantly killed. the lower tusks of the hog beins: driven through his eye into his brain. Another was fatally wounded, and not one of the party escaped .rerious injury. Dur ing the affray, which did not last many minutes, the hunter had had an oppor tunity to tirp among the herd but once, and that without inflicting any injur-. It was almost impossible for the part even to drag their wounded companion. ont of the reach of the infuriate, i beasts, and they did not succeed m doing so until after several more severe wounds had been inflicted by the hogs, which pursued them quite half a mile. The traveler Brim, writing of the fortunate chance which gave him an opportunity of earefully examining the babiroussa, was much more successful. He says; "I was once in a low, damp forest on one of the Malaccan islands, when one of my guides drew my attention to a noise as of the grunting of hogs but a short distance away. It was morv of a low, whistling sound than a or-unt. although now'and then could beheard the queal peculiar to the common hog when angry or frightened." The guides were familiar with the sound, and without stopping to explain their course, or even to give any advice to the traveler in their charge, they started off at full speed, leaving the explorer with no weapon save a light gun. and no ammunition save the two charges it contained. Bnm knew from the stories he had heard, from the natives that his guides had been frightened by the hogs, and he was all the more anrdous to capture one because of their rareness- The noise, which ax first seemed near by. was farther away than I had thought, for it was not until I had walked quite a mile and a nTf through the thick underbrush, that I could "distin any living thing. Then the gray forms of several hogs could be indistinctly seen through the foilage. and I deter mined to risk everything for the sake of basrinjT the largest of tfie herd." W nether the hogs were startled by - i something otner than the hunter, or whether it was because they were in no mood for fighting that day, can not be told, but certain it is that, contrary to their usual habits, instead, of rushing upon the intruder, they ran swiftly past him to a brook near by, leaping in as if in the greatest excitement and. fear. They certainly swam under the water at least forty yards, for from the time they plunged in I could see no more of them until they scrambled out. squealing and whistling, on the other side, ity gun was loaded with, large ehot, and since, owing to the absence "of ny ammunition carrier, I had no bullets. I gave the largest of the parry my com ijliments in the form of a charge of shot-'- The animal was hit just behind the fore-leg. and tumbled over dead, while kk companions, instead of continuing their flight, surrounded him aa it to tH him in his trouble. A second shot had the effect of dis persing them, and the brave hunter had! the satisfaction of cxaming the prize aC his leisure. It proved to be a full-grown hog, "weighing about one hundred and. nffv pounds, while its thick, round body measured three feet in length, and over two ieet in height." Barker's Ycung People. Tb Lsi Swamp. There is a beauty, a charm, an en- ' chanting serenity, and a delight in the Louisiana Swamp which the devotee to the city's flare and flush, the lover o rugged mountain fastnesses, or he who vaunts the graces of the unruffled frairie would scarce concede. Wild, evel. gay as these, it is unlike them; yet none may say it is not beautiful, lovely., exquisite." Far from the rattle and racket of the great city, leagues beyond craggy mouht:iin range, remote from the wide stretch of prairie, and ignorant of the village church bell's sound, the Swamp's ' broad aisles and lengthy collonades invite the lover of Nature to feast.

Her Class. A beautiful young lady coming out of Farwell Hall. Chicago. Sunday after noon, was warmly greeted by a gentle man, and thev stood to chat a moment. Catching -ight of some third party, the lady said hurried! : "See there: that's him." Where? Who?" asked the gentle man, turning in the direction indicated bv the ladv's eves." "Wny. iny boy?" "Your boy' What do you mean3 What do you mean3" "Oh. right here to our left. The one nearest to" us. See. he's talking about me now and pointing me out to the others with him He- awful jealous of me." "Your boy! Jealous of you! Is it possible you allude to that" Chinaman twere? Whv. he must be at least thirty year- old. You're a great joker." "Not at all. You don't understand. He's my class. I am a teacher in the Chinese Sunday School up stairs. Each lady has one Chinaman as a class. We girls call our class -our boy." and it i- a fact. I learn, that each -class calls his teacher 'his girl." I do believe some of the boy-" are in love with their teachers genuine, human- love. They dress very richly in their style on Sundas and they make us very rich presents. Some of the girl- have received gold watches and chain-. Why, if I had not put a stop to it my boy would bring me something every Sunday He has brought me silk, handkerchiefs, lace handkerchiefs and lace collars. He gave me this deep collar I have on. He said he would leave mhool and go back to China if I did not accept it. It is real lace and cost at least thirty-five dollars. But I shan't accept anything more. He is a good boy. and I can do anything I like with him. He learns rapidly. He is an apt scholar. It is laughable. "Some rimes I go acro-s the room to talk with one of my lady friend- in another class and he sits still and contented, but if a gentleman speaks to me for a moment Lang fires up like a real, splendid lover. His eye flash, and he jabbers to him self in a great way. and I have to rush back to him or he would leave the room, and. I suppose, go back to China. He is jealous of me now. Excuse me a moment till I go and tell him you're my brother." The lady went over and pacified the glaring CelestiaL and he walked away with his companiMi.. When she re turned to the gentleman, he asked her something or other in a jocular way, and she replied, smiling: "Oh he says we Meiiean girl- have too many broth ers.' too many -dudu brothers.'"'. The group of Chinamen had taken, a street car. and she laughed heartily. They were out of hearing, and the centiemaa joined in the IaughT Chi.tag6Eeral3. The Majority of the CxareTitcfc. A correspondent, writing from St. Petersburg "on the 18th of May. says-To-day being the sixteenth anniversa ry of his birth, the coming of age of the Czarevitch was celebrated according to custom by ceremonies and rejoicings of great solemnity and splendor. The city was decorated" with flags from an early hour, and a very pretty effect was pro duced bv anchoring a whole flotilla of Imperial yachts and launches, gayly j decked with bunting, in the broad wa- I ters of the Neva beneath the w.ndow of the Winter Palace, where towards one ' o'clock the Court. Diplomatic ( orps. de- tacnment of troops of the Guard, and deputations from all classes assembled The chief feature in the day's cere- ' mony was the swearing by the young Prince of a special oath of allegiance as heir to the throne, and theordinary military oath as a soldier of the Rus sian army, into which the Czarevitch enters to-day as a sub-lieutenant in the First Brigade of the Horse Artillery of the Guard. The former oath was ad ministered in the Palace ChapeL in the course of a special servi -e, by the Met- , ropolitan of Novgorod and at. Peters- , bnrg, in the presence of some fifty royal ?ie-sonages. among whom was Prince Villiam of Prussia, and the Corps Dip- ; lomati'jue. the members of the Holy Synod, etc. The following are the terms . of the oath. J In the n-inw of God Almighty, i upon His Holy Gospel. I promise and , vow unto his Imperial Ma esty, My t most Gracious Lord and Father, truly and without deceit to serve and in afi , things o jey hioi. sparing not life itself to tue la.-t drop of blood to preserve j and defend to the utmost of my reason. . cauabil tv and rower all the rights anJ ' prerogatives appertaining to the high . authority and power ot his Imperial Majesty by law established, or to be es- i taoii-hed aid ng in all things t'iat may contribute to the loyal service of hl Imnerial Majesty and the good of the Empire, and a- heir to the throne of All the Ku ias and the thrones of the Kipgdem of Poland and 'irand Duchy of Finland united with ic. I prom se and ' vow to ob-erve all the regulat on- as to the succession of the family establisn ment as set forth in the fundamental ' laws of the Empire in all their force and integrity, so may I answer before God on the day of ..uiigmen:. Oh Lord God j of our Fathers. Ruler of Rulers' inform, J teach and direct me in the great work ' to wrnch I am appointed' May that ' wisdom which is before Thy throne be with me: from Thy holy Heavens let it light upon me. that I may understand that which is good in Thy eves, and that ; which is righteous ae -ording to Thv I word. My heart be in Thy hand. Amen." The second oath was administered in ' the magnificent hali of the military Or-' der of St. George, where, in addition to ' the above-named, were gathered the re-t of the i ourt, the troops, the pupils of the Military Schools and. others. The oath was in the following terms "I promi-e before Aim ghty God to serve his Imperial Ma'ety and most Gracious Lord, my Father, according to all the military regulations, truly, obe- ' iiently and exaetlv; I prom-se to op- ' pose to His enemies and the enenres of the Empire a brave and determined re- sistance with body and blood, in field and in redress, by sea and by land, in combat and battle, in siege and assault and in ali m'lirary eventualities what- soever. I promise to report whatever I may hear or see aga;nst his Majesty, ! his Majerv's soldiers, his sub ects. or ! the interest of the Empire, and to de- fend and preserve all these to the best of my conscience and ability so truly as are dear unco me. my honor and my life. I promise in all things to do as becomes an honest, obe dient, brave and valiant -oldier So help me Lord God Almighty' Amen.'' In each case the Emperor led his son to the aitar which had been -pecially raised, whereon lay the cross and a copy of the Holy Scriptures. The youthful heir to the throne of aU the Russians, though somewhat pa e with emotion, pronounced the oath.- without faltering in a loud, clear voice. London stand ard. Esquimau Do:rs. When at Fort Albany we saw several Esquimau dog. a species of canine un known m civilized communities. These dogs are very large, larger tnan our Newfoundland, and much stronger when in condition. Their strength, however, varies. In the winter, when they are well ted for driving, they are much stouter and stronger tr.an in sum mer, when the are poorly fed, w ithout exercise and languid from the hear, which is very telling upon them, as their native climate far to the north l invanably severe. Their colors are white an i yellow while impure breeds are white and black tae hair thick and bushv. ami the tail long, bushv and curling up at the end. At times they are very quiet, at others very savage. They are driven ordinarily hve in num ber, but often many more, beiore sleds, one. invariably a female leading, tor the other- will follow her more readilv. Each dog has a separate rem. which is held xby the driver, who has also a great long whip made of -eal-kin, plaited as ordinary whips, but with the heavy part of the lash about the thickness of a man's wrist. The lash i- from -ix to nine fathom- long, and the handle--made of wood from a foot to a foot and a-half in length. When a dog is not drawing properly or misbehaving in any way he or she is drawn by his sepa rate rein ont of the rest of the pack to restive chastisement with the whip, and so well do they know what is com ing that just as soon as the reai is pulled tne victim begins velping and strug gling to correct his or her ways before the whip comes thundering along. Great sill is required in the a3c of tuese whips, for if not properiyhandled the great heavy lash cracks around the manipulator s body and legs, inflicting very painlul and sometimes severe wounds. But in the hands of a person -killed in the use of them these whips can be used with great precesion and effect, sometimes completely cutting s dog's ear off. Very remarkable stories are told about the manner in which the Esqui maux handle their whips, but are, I magine. slightly exaggerated- It is said that they have frequently attacked and k3Jed white bears, the most fero cious animals in the vicinity of James Bay. with a knife attached "to the end of a whin One of our party tried his hand" with one of these dog whips, and succeeded in punishing his legs rather severely, while a Hudson Bay company's officer used it with a much ease and precision as a horseman would have used an ordinarv whip.

Cor. Toronto Glote. Round Hats. Small bonnets are so generally worn, being adopted by mis-e- of sixteen who are -till at boarding--cuool. that there have been verv few importations of round hats. The novelties in hats now come from London' instead of Parie. and in the large shapes in which En glishwomen delight. For spring day3 in the city there are compact shaoes, such as Hen-i Deux with irs square crown and clo-e brim cut very narrow in the back, and trimmed with three or four nodding piumes placed far for ward in front, and a narrow bias band of velvet around the crown: these come in musnroom brown shades, gray, black and red. and w.li serve later in the summer for traveling hats. The Alpine hats with high sloping crows are next in favor, and are more youth ful and fantastic than those just de scribed, and these will be the shape most ned for country hats in midsum mer. The rough straws are effe tive in these, especially when the hat is black, and thi Loudon models are trimmed with velvet bands and rosettes in which it i- the fancy to thrust the eye part of peacocks' feathers.
