They Wild Animals In the City. Tho greatest surprise I ever experi enced in the unexpected appearance o? a wild creature in the heart of the metropolis, was ene day in the spring cf 1S01. when I saw a 'possum cross ing. Broadway near Chambers street. The creature had no chance; I think it was a truck that killed it; and a great crowd gathered, stopping traffic, excitedly discussing the trag edy. The majority declared thc ani mal to be a rat; tho minority main tained that it was a guinea-pig. Then as the police Interrupted discussion by clearing the car-tracks, a large negro dropped from the back of a truck, seized the animal, and mounting the cart tall once more, held his priz aloft, grinning from ear to ear. "Das ser 'possum," he said, and pocketei the future piece de resistance, have never learned where that 'po* sum came from; but there's no doab where he went. Ducks, geese, snipe and gulls, pass over in their migra tions, and it is not uncommon t f^ajph a glimpse of hawks hangln high above tho city smoke.

"Ycs'm, and they said they'd, wait I've shown them into the drawing room." "Very well, I shall be down In a moment." "Tho gentlemen told mc not to dis turb you, but I thought you would like to know they wero herc." "Thank you. Mary." "Will thc gentlemen stay to dinner?" "No, I hope-I mean I thick not. Yen may sound the gong at the usual time. Don't forset, please." "No'm, I won't fo/gct." And Mary smiled significantly to herself as she retired to the kitchen. This would not bo the first time she had been called up?n to scund the dinner gong f.t Holly 1 o^rc ar, a gentle hint to visitors that it was timo for them to KO. Mary had discovered long ago, that hospitality to "master's friends" was not one of her young mistress' vir tuos. "And I don't blame her, neither," said Mary to herself; "it's only nat upral she shouldn't want them always hanging around and taking master's attention off cf herself, and she only married six months." Mrs. Mowbray gave a little p?tu lent sigh. "I suppose I must." she murmured, addressing her looking glass with a frown. And then she began to smile, half reluctantly, at the face she saw reflected there. lt was a pretty face. The frown clouded the prettiness, but the smile made it bewitching. Yet Mrs. 'Mow bray frowned almost as often as she smiled. But then things happened to annoy her. Harry was a near boy, of courso, but-well, he certainly had his faults. What made him so late tonight, for Instance? ?surely he hadn't gone off igain to play chess with that hcrnd Bob Jollibois, as he did only the other week. Eut, no, he wouldn't be so selfish md horrid when he knew perfectly Krell how unhappy it would make her. She had told him so when he carno llorac at 8.30 o'clock the other night, md he had vowed never to do it again. Harry was a man of his v/ord; she ivould say that for him. Ho had promised before they were married o give up that hateiul volunteering far gone to give up everything, as Mowbray docs. You don't think he'll come to tho smoker?" "No-I'm afraid he won't. Since he's been married he can't be induced to spend an evening away from her." "Poor old Mowbray. He's bound to get tired of it." "Yes, a man wants a little change, even if lie's married an angel. Human nature can't stand monotony." "Adam's relying on Mowbray to ring. Thc fellows will be horribly dis appointed if ho doesn't." "So will Mowbray himself. He used to bc uncommonly keen on it. Of course, he'll refuse, simply because he's afraid of hurting hi3 wife's feel ings." "It strikes me he's carrying devo tion a bit too far. Why, ho seems to have thrown over every blessed thing lie ever cared for. Thc Growlers are furious in his desertion. They've lost their best halfback. And old Harding was grumbling to me, only last night, because Mowbray hasn't put his nose inside the Schcol of Arms for months." "That must have been a blow to Mowbray, to give np these bayonet compe'iiicns. He was a dead certain ty for at least on-j prize. " "It's the same with everything. He's losing his form ail round. It's a sin that such a good sportsman should be allowed to run to seed; and a woman who makes her husband sacrifice all his pet hohbito must be-" Tho speaker paused expressively. "Well, of course, we don't know thal it's her fault. He never so much as hinted at- it. Pretends he's drop ping out of things to please himself." "But who believes that?" "Nobody I Oh, you're quito right lt ia my fault!" ft waa not Jack Hunt's voice that answered his friend Bundy's question. Tho two men turned to the speaker with startled faces. It was Mrs. Mowbray, who detached .herself from tho shadow of tho screen at the door and carno toward them with outstretched hands. "It was mean to listen," sbe said, flushing all over her pretty faro, "but I couldn't help it. You didn't hoar mo come in, and-something you said made me wait, and so I-I overheard. Oh, pleaso don't think me a-a hen pecker!" she added hurriedly. "But when you said that about taking warn ing by Harry, and not getting mar ried, it-It wasn't in human nature not to listen. I've been thoughtless and selfish. It's done me goori io hear thc truth. Won't you shako hands?" Ten minutes later, when Harry Mow bray came home, ho was amazed to find that his wife had set her heart on his singing at tho Jackdaw's Smoker, and when she insisted cn his. spending the entire following evening at the club it dawned upon bim that something extraordinary had hap pened. I WEST POINT AND ITS EF.GINNING. How Thia Strategic Place Was Occu pied in the Revolution. Tho antiquity of Fort Putnam, at tho West Point Military academy, has been a question of dispute the last few days, but it will probably soon be righted, and its proposed restoration to its original condition, or something like it, will bc carried out. How thc military academy came into being, and various other fads about it, are of in terest to every loyal American. The tract of land owned by the govern ment at West Point contains 2105 acres, and was first settled in May, 1723. The greater part of this area was purchased from Stephen Mooro on September 10, 1790, for $11,085 The smaller and southerly portion was bought from Oliver Gridley on May 13, 1824. for $10,000. On March 2, 1826, the State of New York ceded jurisdic tion over that part of the property on which the principal edifices connected with the institution stand, and only "reserved thc right to execute any pro cess, civil or criminal, wherein the real or personal property of the United States was affected." The importance of West Point in the Revolution was due to its com mand of . the Hudson river, then the thoroughfare tor freight and passenger traffic between the seaboard and the interior. Eai'ly in 1775 the pro vincial congress, pursuant to thc wish es of the continental congress, re solved to fortify the highlands, and sent commissioners, accompanied by Colonel Bernard Romans, with 24 men, to execute its plans. Romans was a willful choleric Hollander, an engineer by profession and an employe of tho British Crown. He constructed the fortifications on Constitution Island (then Martclaed's Rock), but in such an unscientific manner as to invite the strictures of the most capable ex perts of his own profession. For this reason, and also because of a report by a special commission of inspection, made to congress on November 23, 1775, that the words coald be assailed from tho. higher ground across the river without any danger to the enemy, it was planned to occupy and fortify West Point, but tho proposition was *v!orT!fffttt?^^ Lu'e'paT sago of the Highlands temporarily fell into tire hands of the cueiny." After the British had abandoned the High lands in August, 1777, Generals Put nam and James Clinton were detailed to supervise tho reconstruction of the fortresses, and on July 2o, 1779, the headquarters of the commander-in chief were transferred to West Point. It was here t:.at General Washington issued, among his "many and pointed orders" one "against that unnecessary and abominable custom of swearing." West Point had cost $3,000,000, in addition to throe years of labor by the local force, and was accounted tho "American Gibraltar."-New York Tribune. PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Observations mado in several bac teriological laboratories have lately been published, in which a claim is made that some fruit juices, more par ticularly lemon juice, nave power to render inactive the bacillus of typhoid fever. The exact, method of investiga tion is not detailed in the literature at hand, but it is worth noting at the outset that the general restraining ef fect of acids upon beneficial develop ment has been long known, as has also the fact that several of the 30-called vegetable acids, though commonly sup posed to bc of feeble chemical power, are really very active. The obs'erved feebleness is duo to thc high dilution in which they commonly occur. Ci!ric acid in concentrated form is a strong acid. General adoption of the view j that some fruit juices can render harmless articles ol' food cr drink con taminated with tho typhoid germ should only follow much careful invo3- I ligation, a?d even If the decision is favorable, it will possibly be found that some cf the common mirera' acidf. will answer the same purpose Philadelphia Medical Journal.

Jack Tar is notoriously improvident, and most of our naval seamen, when they get ashore, spend their money, be It moro or less with a lavish hand. Shore leave Is limited to twenty-four hours, but In that brief time the un restrained sailor manages to run through about all the cash he carries with him. He plunges into a whirl of dissipation and is oftentimes cheated or robbed of a good sbare of his ready -o^y^g Jwj| p percentage of the latter is also apt to go for ?fiSftfrlj ftfift ]M .-" pens to strike his almost childish fancy. Mascots are the seafarer's do light, and whatever he may come across which seems to him to have a I talismanic property he ls bound to buy j it if he can. Hence, when the "pier jumpers" as those on shore leave arc technically called, return in well-filled barges to the ship and under direction of the master-at-arms climb up on deck they are likely to bring with them a miscellaneous collection of goats, dogs, parrots, monkeys, roosters, etc. Ono sailor on the Kearsargc, either in or out of his senses at the time, wont so far as to purchase as a mascot a colored baby from its mother for the sum of forty cents and came aboard with it in his arms. He was not al lowed to retain lt., however, and tho child was eventually restored to the j repentant and hysterical parent. I How many of the mascots may be i kept on board Hes within the dipcre I tion of the captain. A liberal policy ls pursued in this matter. But mani festly there is a limit to the number of those that can bc accommodated. The surplus is sent ashore without de lay. When the returned "pier jump ers" are lined up while the ship's writer calls the roll to discover the laggards, it is one of the most per plexing duties of the deck to decide what dumb creatures may or u.ay not be added to the vessel's menagerie. If the vessel ls on her way homeward from the tropics she usually carries a large variety of living presents for the home friends of the sailors. But these are only temporary tenants of the hold and would not be permitted to remain on board long.-Leslio's Weekly. THE BURGLAR'S LAMENT. Missionary-I hope that you will watch yourself hereafter.

Something to brace thc nerves, in vigorate the brain and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is beyond all question. Every one who has tried it has had the 6ame experience as Mrs. D. W.

There is no better spring tonic, and I have used about all of them. Catarrh in Spring. Thc spring is the best time to treat ca tarrh. Nature renews herself every spring.
