A large glass tank of clear water occupies one end of the room, and into this precisely at noon an attendant throws a handful of tiny fish, a few of them still living. Then the side of an adjoining cage is removed, and down plunge the penguins to seize their prey, It must be confessed that their table manners are not fine. They literally gobble fish after fish, and then hnrl themselves about in the water, evidently delighted with their bath. Another : bird a slender, graceful creature, familiarly called a "darter'' is admitted alone to the tank, and his motions in eating his fish dinner are wonderful to see. He sweeps through the water like an arrow, and impaling each fish npon his bill lifts his head, and in some mysterious and lightning- like manner catches the victim and swallows it. THE BIDS ON THJB ELEPHANTS. Later in the afternoon the pelicans are fed in the little yard where they strut solemnly all day long. A small pond occupies its center, and into this bits of fish are thrown, in search' of which the birds rush pell mell, covering the water with a confusion of gigantic waving wings. As tne attendant approacnes to carry out this pleasing ceremony, the birds awaken from their drowsy calm, and it is a sight not soon to be forgotten if one can watch a stately old pelican lift Ilia wings and begin an awkward curveting in token of his joy. In the bear pit, a deep and well lighted inclosure, dwell two bears, who are un wieldy with the fatness produced by many buns. They have been so per sistently fed by visitors that when one looks over the railing his bearship calm lv rises, holds out two entreating fore paws and sits in pleased anticipation ol a feast. He catches bits of bun in bis mouth with the unerring skill given by long practice, and will even climb the pole in the center of the pit, u one will but noia a bun over it suspended from a stick. "But how will he know I want him to climb?" said a little girl, who had just been provided with this plummy bribe, Just hold it near tho pole where he can get it," said an attendant, "and hell do the rest. He knows as much as we do." So, heavily and with much panting. the awkward creature mounts his pole, seizes the bun, and descends to munch it in content. The crowning joy of all perhaps for little visitors is that of riding the ele phants, which, provided with great sad dles, large enongh for a dozen people, take their load of shrieking, laughing children and go lumbering off down the walks, waving their trunks this side and that in tho hope of receiving a stray tit bit from the neighboring crowd. FEEDING THE LIONS. Later in the day comes one great event, to which even the most serious grown person must be interested. At half past 4 the lions are fed! Long before the time visitors begin to pour into the building where, in large cages against the wall, lions, tigers and leop ards are pacing restlessly np and down. The creatures themselves need no watches to tell them dinner time is near. At the appointed moment a man en ters, pushing a barrow of bleeding meat. and wheels it past the cages to the very end of the room. At the smell and sight pandemonium breaks loose. - One terrible roar, made by many voices in awful concord, fills the place. At the last cage the barrow stops, a bar is thrown back, and two large pieces of meat are thrown in. The lion seizes them in his paws and lies contentedly down, to gnaw and lick them with the delib eration of a well fed animal So the programme goes on, until one voice after another is silenced and the barrow is empty. One very interesting fact is always to be observed. The a-nimaia do not, on receiving their first piece of meat, retire to devonr it; they wait for the second and then turn away with both held securely m their paws. They have evidently learned how much to expect and can count up to that number. Indeed the delights of the Zoo are almost inexaustible to animal loving children. There is the monkey house, where those grave, wrinkled, half hu man creatures sit picking fleas from each other with an air of funny absorp tion. There is the chimpanzee "Sally, who will count five for her keeper by passing him the renuiaito number of straws, and who, at request, will eat with her fingers, as she "used to do,' and then with a fork, an she does now that she is civilized.

Tho Pekin Gazette contains a curious ; memorial from the viceroy of Canton re- specting 103 7f-centimeter guns manu factured by Krupp on the order of Chang Chihtung, the late viceroy of the prov ince. The viceroy says the guns are excellent in every respect, but they do not suit the fortifications for which they were intended. The damp climate of the province and the white ants, "which eat anything and everything," would destroy them; the district is so hilly that they could not be moved, the coast is composed of wet Band, in which the wheels would get fixed immediately; the guns are too long for the embankment on which they were to be placed and could not be turned around; there are no horses in the province to drag them, and if there were there is no forage for them; finally, the horses in the adjacent prov inces are so small that if they were im ported they could not drag such heavy guns. The obstacles being so numerous and insurmountable, the memorialist asks that he may be allowed to transfer the guns to his brother, Li Hung Chang, for use in the north, payment to be made for them when he can. Should be re ceive any money from his brother on this account, the memorialist promises to report the fact. The emperor author ires this course to be followed. Death Above Her and Death Below.

Swinging in midair, with death above and below her, until almost exhausted by fatigue from the terrible strain! This was the dire predicament in which Miss Norah Oldham, of Nashville, was placed, and it was only due to her cool judgment and calm presence or mind that she was saved' from death. In attempting to cross the railroad trestle which extends from Cedar street to beyond Line, she was run down by an express train, the engineer of which, Dickson, was trying to enter tne Union depot on time and had been running un usually fast for some minutes, tone was compelled to let herself down on the outside of the track and hang on until she was rescued.

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels forth in state, Her horses, full of fire and pilde, go prancing from the gate:. But all the beauties of the day she views with iRnimiri eve. Her flesh in weakness wastes away, her voice is but a sigh. For Mrs. Million is . in an advanced stage of catarrh, and all the luxuries that wealth can buy fail to give her com fort. She envies her rosy waiting-maid, and would give all her riches for that young woman's pare breath and bloom ing health. Now, if some true and dis interested friend would advise Mrs. Mil lion- of the wonderful merits of Dr. Saee'a Catarrh Remedy, she would learn that her case is not past help. $500 reward is offered by the manufacuri ers for a case of catarrh in the head which they cannot cure.

Leaves A Card to the Public. I would respectfully inform the pub lic that I have been able to procure a pretty fair outfit for raising or moving houses, and am' willing to do that kind of work at reasonable figures. But I do wish it distinctly understood that, after looking at a job, I am to be the sole judge of the price to be set upon the work that I am to undertake, or may do. If there is any person who may think that there is big money to be made at house moving in The Dalles, by doing work for less than I can do it, I would advise v him to prepare himself, by buy ing tools, and reap some of the rich har vest. In conclusion I will say that if I am called upon to do any workin my line, I shall endeavor, in the future, as in the past, to give entire satisfaction in all reepecta to my employer. r Most Respectfully, ' A.KDBEW VkLAEDK.
