,' The Animal In the Zoo. The Bleeping Lours of tbe animals at the zoological gardens In Regent's park vary as much, according to the families to which they belong, as do their other characteristics and habits. The orang outang goes to bed at sun down, draping its head In a blanket and refusing to see visitors after dusk. It is also an early riser. With the lions, tigers and other members of the cat tribe the'night finds them at their liveliest, and they sleep most between the midday meal and supper time. The eagles go to sleep Just about the time their neighbors in the owl cage are waking up, while the bears during tbe winter months apparently sleep all day and night too. The residents of the monkey house object seriously to being disturbed after dark, and If one of the keepers happens to take a light Into their quarters they scold him un mercifully. On the other band, it would probably take a dynamite bomb to arouse the rhinoceros, and It is not uncommon, the keepers say, to find rats biting holes In Its thick hide with Impunity. London Mail. .,. A Ban on Patterns. "There Is one kind of correspondence sometimes received by women clerks that makes heads of firms hopping mad-," said the pretty stenographer. "That Is dress patterns. They don't mind letters and magazines, but if a girl wants to keep on good terms with her employer and mnybe keep her Job she had better advise pattern compa nies to send their communications to some other address. I know one em ployer of about 100 girls who has put up notices la the workroom to the ef fect that no patterns can bo received at that office. Not many men go that far, but all hold the same grudge against patterns. A girl who has a new dress to make up can't help spreading the pattern out the minute she gets it. Then every other woman in the ofllce becomes interested. Noth ing is so disorganizing to women clerks as patterns. Nothing takes up more time that belongs to the firm, so you really can't blame the bosses for putting a ban on patterns." New York Tress. A Beautiful Lake. Tcrhaps the most striking instance to bo seen in the whole world of the wonderful apparent coloring of bodies of water Is the marvclously beautiful Blue lake in Switzerland. Encom passed on nil sides by lofty mountains, their lower ranges luxuriantly clothed with verdure down to the edge of the water and adorned with many fine for est trees, while their higher acclivities are garbed in a mantle of eternal snow, the little lake, nestling in its deep hol low basin and protected from winds and storms, is quite startling in its singular and strange beauty. The water, although really pure and color less, appears to bo of a most vivid and intense sky blue. And its transparency Is so remarkablo that a small nickel coin dropped into the water in the center of the lake can bo seen gyrat ing downward until it reaches the bot tom, apparently more than a hundred feet beneath. Japan's National Beverage. Sake is tho national beverage of Ja pan. It has a peculiar flavor not com parable to any European drink, is made from fermented rice by an intri cate process in winter time and con tains from 11 to 14 per cent of alcohol. It is a necessary constituent of every ceremonial Japaneso dinner, is served in little, ampulla-like jnrs and drunk with much formality from squat, ear less sake cups containing approximate ly about two ounces. To tho European palato it tastes sour at first, but a nrpforeneo for it is readily acquired. Curiously enoueh. It has a much more powerful effect on the Japaneso than on Europeans. A stronger variety, shochu, contains from 20 to CO per cent of alcohol. Another form, mlrln, is moro or less a llqueuor. London Lan cot. The Peanut. The common ponnut, beloved of the small bov. crows hi a way that is ais tlnctlv orielnal. Tho little plant sends up its shoots, with tho fruit on tho end of a somewhat stire stalk, ana then before it rlnens the stem bends over and carefully pushes tho fruit un derground. As pigs are said to ue especially fond of these, it has been suggested that the plant does this to hklo Its nuts from the porker's too jn qulsitlve investigations. Svatam Reauired. Clerk May I have a day's leave to sir? It Is my mother-in-law's funeral. Employer My dear Iluber, this mustn't occur again. Last weeu your wife died, and now your mother-in-law's colnir to bo burled. You must arrange things better in your family and sco that they happen in tue uou days. Lustlgo Blatter. Unkind. Medical Mau-Jobson has done the meanest thluc 1 ever heard of.

A well of flro five or ten miles in width was sweeping through tbe for ests of Idaho to tbe Montana side near Trout Creek, Mont., this week, ac cording to reports from western Mon tana.

Tbe accident hap pened on tbe afternoon of July 18, near ber home and is supposed to have been oaused by stepping on a parlor matob, tbe lighted end flyiog up and igniting her olotbiDg. of SUMMONS.
