A skunk wandered into the National Museum one day last week. It was alive. Furthermore, it seemed to feel perfectiy at home. One pecu- liarity of this interesting animal is that it en- tertains no fear of man. It is absolutely tame | because it knows that it can rely upon the de- fense with which it is provided by nature. After dodging around among the exhibits for awhile the unexpected visitor was spied by some children, who regarded it as curious and were inglined to pet it. Without showing any alarm lined to be caressed. At length it was seen by an attendant who recognized its genus. He gave the alarm, but other persons connected with the establishment failed to de- Yelop symptoms of the sporting instinct. In abort. they were inclined to remain aloof. However. the xttendant aforesaid was un- ternfied. He managed to drive the skunk into ‘small room and even succeeded in cajoling it so far as to make it enter a box, wherein it was Promptly secured. | Then the trouble began. visitor perceived that he was trapped and exhibited s:mptoms of resentment on account of the inhospitable treatment accorded him. People in the neighborhood, who had gathered | sbout through motives of curiosity, began to | disperse rapidly. With singular unanimity | they relinquished interest in the affairand went away. Nevertheless, his skunkship was retained | im eustody and sent out tothe National Zoo- | logical Park,where he will remain on exbibi- tion. pearance there is likely to remain a mystery. | t the most remarkable thing about it is that he is not the kind of skunk that belongs to this of the country. He is of a species which | peculiarly native to Arkansas and that region. | How, then. did he get to Washington? Nobody | has turned up to account for the circumstance. Is there anvbody in this neighborhood who Keeps pet skunks? If such a thing could be | supposed, it might be imagined that he had from confinement. Only one theory suggested thus far. It is as follows: Not long ago Congress saw fit to look | into the expenditures of the National Museum. | the criticisms made bv » member of the 95 paid for one skin of » skunk.

The Earl of Derby died lnstevening. He was born July 21, 1826, and educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1852 he was appointed under secretary of foreign affairs in the first administration of his father, the former Earl of Derby. Under his father's sec- ond administration, was secretary of state for India with, seat in the cebinet. and it was un- der his superintendence that the management of the British India empire was transferred from the East Indian Company to Great Britain. The inte earl was appointed secretary of state for foreign affairs in July, 1886. Mr. Disraeli again intrusted him with the foreign office in 1874. In 1879 the Earl of Derby de- tached himself from the conservative party on the ground that he did not approve the course | of the conservative leadership fu regard to the foreign relations of Great Britain. 4 Derby became a liberal, and was secretary of state for the colonies under Mr stone from 1882 to July, 1885. In 1836, when the division in the hberal party occurred on the issue of home ruie for Ireland, Lord Derby took a stand against Irish home rule, and has since ranked among Mr. Giadstone’s opponents. i Fishes That Do Not Mo From Our Anima!
