Sad Fate of Two Baby Leopards at the Zoo, three hundred members of the ght O’clock club went to the Zoolog- ical garden yesterday to see Dan and Spot, the biby leopards, but to their surlzriau and grief they learned that the little pets wore dead.” All day the chil- dren lingered around the cage, watch- ing Mrs. Bob, the mother of tie pair, stride up and down the inclosure. Scarcely any of the children suspected that the cute litile animals lmb heen eaten by their own mother, yet that is the coneclusion the keepers have arrived at concerning the manncr of their death, says the Philadelphia Record. Danand Spot were kepuin a large box which was placed beneath their moth- er’s cage. Mrs. Bob reached them by climbing throngh a trap door in the floor of her place of coufinement. Oue of the first instincts of the leopard fam- ily is to conceal 1ts young immediately after pirth. and when Dan and Spot were born the keepers of the lion house built this box for Mrs. Bob to hide her babies in, She was so zealously protec- tive of her children that the keepers were not allowed to approach their box, and Dan and Spot ceuld not be seen ex- cept when their mother brought them out. These receptions became opular and crowds of little folks waited in front of tho eago every duy for the uppear- ance of the twin babies. Last Monday Mrs. Bob kept b children in their nursery, and on Tuesday they did not make an appearance in public. Ou the afternoon of that day Keeper Shannon, of the lion house. noticed that Mrs. Bob acted in a strange munuer, She entered the box cautiously and crept out again in a fow minutes with n guilty expression in her eat-like eyes. Then she sat for along time on the high board which runs across the back of the cage. Then she would re-enter the box and immediately come outagain and try to bido herself in the far corner of the inclosure. The keeper’s tuspicions were aroused and he decided to make a close examin- tiou of the box 1o which he supposed the baby leopurds were. e knew that it was not at all unusual for animals in on;n;ivl? to neglect and even destroy their offspring, ‘This is especially trae of the leopard. Their hatred of “captivity geuerally in- duces them to kill their cubs rather than have them grow up in captivity, ‘When o leopard is born it is usually re- moved from the ecage at once, as the mother generally devours it immedi- ately afier birth. Mbrs. Bob seemed to be s0 proud of her youngsters and gave promise of becomn | ing such a gentle mother that this pro- caution was neglected 1 the case of Dan aud Spot. % Keeper Shannon’s examination of the box was made with great difficulty. He erept beneath the platform on which the cage rests and cautiously closed the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, trap-door through which the mother descended to her, cubs’ hiding place and then turned his attention to the box. At first glance the bed of straw did not seem to be _disturbed, and ap- parently in excellent condition. But dan and Spot were missing. With the aid of & lantern he then made a closer examination of the bottom of the box and found to his horror a fow bloody shreds of fur, which he quickly recog- nized as belonging to the unfortunate cubs, He sorrowfully made his way to the group of expectant children standing in front of the cageand told them of tho death of the little leopards.

DIED IN HIS CHAIR. The Sad Picturo of Wantand Snif a New England Tow One day last week the attention of tho Norwich board of charities was called to the condition of adestitute family, the head of which was sick with pneu- monia, says the Norwich (Conn.) Bul- letin. How sick uneither the wife o husband realized, One can imagine the surprise of the visitor, who found the man dangerously ill with pneu- in, when tho wife told him: y man was that pressed for breath last night that he went out on the door- a while to get a good ng in breath of air.” Tho sick man _was provided with a seking chaiv and the family was fur- nished with the necessarics of life, The tenemont was a poor ono and its fur- nishings wore scanty.

Youare the only one I can think of that plays.” The idea of the face being the *'m ror of the soul,” is, in point of fact, more literal thau poetic, but it is a mirror that reflects other men’s souls rather than our own. Wo give to our faces tho expression we think is most dosired by those who are looking, a most unselfish and praisworthy effort, surely; but suppose this same sprite removing the coating of the conven- tional quicksilyer from the mireor, and allowiag the “true inwardness” of our thoughts to be revealed. A young man comes to take leave of his hostess at the close of the receplion, and makes the familiar romarks, ‘'S0 s0on to tear my- self away; have had u delightful time with such charming peopie,” while his truth-assecting face says toher, “Thanlc heaven, I can go at last! 1 have been bored to ceath! Such a lot of homely girls I never saw!” Or the hostess her self, though she smilingly suys all sorts of protty things about the pleasure of having seen them, yet her couutenince makes the awful statement: **Well, [ amn thankful it is over with! Tam tired to death standing here and trying to say this to everybody, and all the time keep smiling."” Then think of the amount of martyr like endurance and heroism that would thus be rendered unavailable. The girl who goes to the opera wearing a psir of new boots, and, though suffering in- quisitorial torture from them all the evening, still unceasingly bestows upon her escort beaming smiles and enter- taining remarks, and ay pm-tiu¥ swectly assures him that the evening has been one of the mest intense and unalloyed delight. The man when at a party, who, while entertaining a charming young lady, suddenly fecls his back coilar button slip its moorings, yet bravely hides the agonies of his racked soul and continues to be entertaining, though caution com- pels him to assume a dignified restraint in his movements. The womun who has her most cavefully guarded corn ruth- lessly trampled upon and still giving no sign of the torment she is en- duriug or of her burning desire to strangle the great blundering brute who did it. Such glowing examples of noble self-repression must claim our deepest admiration and respect. And how much harmless joy is given by casting over the rugged sides of commonplace fact the besutifying yeu sometimes deceptive light of facial ex- pression, How abunduntly blessed is the diffident young man in society when u lovely woman smiles up at him with an ‘expression of admiring appreciatior of his intellectual power and sweetly murmurs, **What beautiful weather we ave having!

Their belief, however, is different from the metempsyehosis of more enlightencd men, for, instead of believing that the soul of man after doath enters into the body of an animal or bird. they believe that the soul of an animal or bird after death enters into the body of a man— in short every man represents some animal, veptile or bird that lived years ago.

Today in looking through some back numbers of the (;nl?x_v [ ran across a romarkable arcticlé’ on dreams and dreaming, in whi¢l the author, Mr. Lewis, presents r e novel theories, says a writer in the' §t. Louis Republic, The result of ang, number of experi- ments, he says, sustain the following facts: Speaking in a low, monotonous tone close to the ear of a slesper will almost invariably cause him to dreaw of terrible adventures on water, such as shipwrecks and drowning. Singing or slaying on musical iustruments induces reams of dead friends, funerals and othor lonesome and gruesome things, often causing the sleeper to moan or even cry outright in his seeming agooy. Tt seems that sleep soon after meals does not causc worse dreams than the simple and very prevalent habit of seek- ing to court the sleepy god with arms against the headboard. The worry which may not be caused by the habit of laying with the arms resting above the nead according to this experimenter, could not be induced by an after-dinner uap after freely partaking of ssurkraut and pickles. Mr. Lewis alse seeks to explode the old theory that somnambu~ lism {8 cnused by weighty trouble on the mind of the sleeper, and he combats the idea that any great proportion of dreams are the results of trouble, worry and excitement. His thoory that “the many dreams we dream’ are but the ro- sults of waves of thought across the brain, he thus aptly illustrates from an experimont. “*Whiie one watched the sleeper and the other the clock, the third loudl slammed the door about ten feet away the effect was almost instantaneous; the man sprang up at the sound, looked around in alarm and then exclaimed: “Thank God _ that it was only a dream.” 1t seemed that he had dreamed of being on a crowded street in front of a building which the peoplo about him pronounced unsafe. but that he still lingered near the top- pling wreck. Thon he tried to elbow s way throngh the erowd to a place of safoty, but the people jeered and laughed and held him fast. He begged, coaxed, threatened and eutreated,. still they held him, until the building fell and the shoek broke the spell. e must have dreamed the entire dream ina second, vet it seemed to him that he was in danger as long as half an hour before the final awakening scene was enucted, To put the thought flash theory beyond dispute many exj ments wers indulged in.

Smith informs me that at the timo the picture was taken it had been very rainy and damp for sever: ys,and the proba- bilities are, nccording to my judgment, that the room was very warm inside with a good fire burning. Now, it may be that at the proper time, when tho punes woro just damp and warm enough to be sensitive to an impression, that a heavy charge of electricity removed the cloth, so to speak, and indelibly traced the outlines of the many-colorcd bow on the place prepared by man and nature, acting, unknowingly, on the man’s part ut least, 1n co-operation, The fuct that this wonderful thing exists again raises the vexed question: **Why is it not pos- sible tophotograph in color Chauge of life, backache, monthiy irregu- ies, hot flashes ure cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine, I'reo samples at Kuhn & Co.'s 15th and Douglas. photograph ," the rainhow. every writer on the curious side - A Land ot Tartloes. A correspondent of a Ceylon journal ives some interesting information about the turtles on the coastin the neighborhood of Jaffun, in the north of the island, which are said to be innum- able. They are of three species, llod sea, milk and pavinh turtles ro- ctive turtle is gener- ally large in siz et with cvery where at sea around Jaffna. Two tiny islands, called Iranativu, ave hterally swarming with the creatures. ‘I'ne islunds themselves are stervile and always oxposed to inundations tho itants are poor and ignorant of age and live chiefly on the tur- tles. They use the shellsof the largo ones as seats. In the town of Jaffna the ordinar turtle is always procurable, and is g favorite article’ of food for the people. The milk-turtle is small in size, and is to be found only in welis and bauks. It is not an article of food exeept with the poorer elusses . The paviah turtlo has a high back, and}a shell which somo what resembles that of a tortoise. It is found in marshes and ditehes. 1t is not an nrticle of food but is highly vatued by the native medical men, because its flesh and blood are supposed to Lo a panacea for ailments pecular toehildren.
