-" If l ADAPTABILITY OF ANIMALS. Bow They Yarr Their Food to Salt Chanced Conditions. An impression prevails that insects and other creatures arc so co-related with their food that they can scarcely exist unless special food seemingly es sential to them is ready to hand. This is believed true not only of food, bnt of their habits in general. The yucca and the yucca moth are so closely con nected that it does seom as if each is absolutely dependent on the other and sne might as well ask what would the chimney swallow do without chimneys in which to build its nest or cherry or peach treo gum with which to build them. But just as the Tepetarian would have to abandon his principles where there was nothing; in the icy rcfjion but musk oxen and walrus to feed on eo animal nature gene rally has tho in stinct of preservation to take to that which first comes to hand when favor its resources faiL Tho chimney swal low built its nest somewhere before the white man constructed chimneys. The potato beetle had its home on the plains lonjr before it ever knew a po tato, and the writer has seen the com mon elm-leaf beetle feedinp voraciously in the mountains of North Carolina on a species of skull-cap Scutellaria touching apparently no other plant, in localities where elms were absent. In German town gardens half-starved bees take to grapes and raspberries. In the same locality the common robin has had hard times. There had been no rain from the 4th of July to Octo ber 11, and, everything having become parched long since, insects that live on green food had not increased. The robins took to green seeds and fruits. The apples on the orchard trees were dugout as if by mice. An American golden pippin, with a heavy crop, pre sented a remarkable appearance with what should be apples hanging on the trees like empty walnut shells. In brief, no creature will ignore the promptings of nature. It will change its habits when necessity demands. Jlcchan's Monthly. II of ale In England. In England mosaic is an exotic craft The antique pavements scattered through the length and breadth of the country are essentially Roman, al though in many instances constructed entirely of local materials; and the 13th century mosaic-work in the shrine of Edward, the Confessor, and in the tomb of Ilenry 1IL, at 'Westminister abbey, was executed by Italians, pu pils, probably, of members of the Cosmati family. It is only in recent years that English glassmakers have producer an opaque glass suitable for mosaic, and that English craftsmen have used it for the decoration of structure. The naturalization of the craft depends upon the competence of English master craftsmen to adapt mosaic to our at mosphere, to our buildings, and to our sense of fitness. That opaque glass will stand uninjured for a great number of years is proved by mosaic! in Borne and Ravenna, erected as early as the fourth and fifth centuries of our era. It is true that the atmosphere of Rome and Ravenna has not the corro sive properties possessed by that of London and of our other great centers of smoke and population, but glass, it made with due regard to the combin ing proportions of its ingredients, is Impervious to the action of all ordi nary acids.

Grant, which the Union League club, of Hrooklyn, bought for presentation to this city, was unveiled here with im posing ceremonies. The veil was lift ed from the statue by the hand of lit tle Ulysses Grant, grandchild of tho general and third son of Col. Fred Grant, of New York. The statue, re puted judges say, is a beauty of its kind. It is of heroic size, 10 feet high, made cf bronze and weighs 110 tons. William Ordway Cartridge was tho sculptor. Its base is a square granite block 22 tons in weight, supporting three similar blocks. The general is repre sented in soldier dress, his slouch hat drawn well on his head and overcoat on. The horso stands with his four feet firmly planted on the pedestal, head up, ears alert. Aside from the unvc'.ling the great feature of the cele bration was the military parade, about 6,000 men being in line. BIG FIRE AT CRIPPLE CREEK. The c olorado Mlnlnir Town Visited by a KI.OOP.OOO lllazo. CnirrxE Cheek, Col., April 27. Tho greater part of this town was burned on Saturday. All the theaters, danca halls and sporting resorts, were de stroyed, together with the post office, the First national bank, tho Midland railroad depot and trestles, the Times newspaper office and manv stores. An angry woman in a dance hall threw a lamp at her lover and started the fire. Tho loss was rouirhlvcstimatcd at over $1,000,000. With 3,000 people rendered homeless in a day, of course lodging houses are in greatest demand, and many of these are rapidly progressing. Fortunately, tho weather is remarkably fine, so that the sleeping in open air docs not en tail suffering and few have been com' cum pelled to do this. Already the worn of rebuilding the burned district has begun, and last night, by the light of the full moon, nails were being driven in many houses. RUSSELL SAYS NAY. lie Kcqaests Democrats Not tn Use Ills Nihdo for the l'resldency. New York, April 27. Tho World prints tho following signed statement of ex-Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, in response to a question from one of its staff correspondents: I am greatly surprised to hear that the action ot the Massaehusettc contention has at tracted any special attention outside the state- While 1 greatly appreciate the compliment of an Indorsement by my state.

On the contrary, I have already earnestly re quested that no such movement be made In any other state by friends of mine.

The records of Cleveland, Carlisle, Russell, Patti son, Olney, Blond, Boies, Tillman, Matthews, Campbell nnd others will be gone over and the order will be no tified which of these menare objec tionable and which can pass over. It is probable, however, that the democratic national convention will adopt a plank condemning tho order and, if it does, the order will have the whole party to fight. GOLD WILL TRIUMPH.

The repub lican national convention at St. Louts will declare against the free coinage of silver at sixteen to one and for gold as the monetary standard of the United States according to the platforms adopted by tho state republican con ventions which have been held.

Few women have had a inoro miscrablo existence and lived to tell the tale than Mrs. Anna L. Kmitu of 311 Pulaski Avenue, Brooklyn. With all thecomrortsthatmoney aflords. with all tho happiness that many loviug friends can give, the joy of Mrs. Smith's life was blasted for years bv the terrible ravages of sickness. Tlio story is most interesting as told to a reporter: 'I was an invalid for years, suffering first with ono complaint nnd then with another. My caso was truly that of a complication of diseases, duo to an accident which I received sorao years ago. Tlio thing which caused mo tho most discomfort and mado mo offensive to my family was tho worst caso of indiges tion 'imaginable. I mado all around mo miscrablo by my sufferings, and was most miserable myself. 1 had tlio best physician we could find, and occasionally his pro scriptions relieved mo temporarily. But the rtains and misery would all soon return again. 1 became desporate, and started in 1 to try remedies of which I read. Among I them were tlio Pink Pills. Their appear , ance captivated mo instantly, for I am a ' great lielicvcr in tho beautiful. I took tho pills and followed out tho directions to tho ' letter, and before many davs I began to feci like a different woman. "For six weeks I took tlio pills regularly, and I can truthfully add after that I was as well as any one in i the family. This change for tho better in my condition has caused my relatives anil I friends to take tho pills. We buy them all i from tho drug store of John Unryca, at tho corner of Do Kalb and Summer Avenues.

The way-train ahead of us had struck an open switch and been uilciieil, anil two passengers were ; killed outright nnd five or six others more or less injured. The killed and injured were lying on the depot plat form ns our train came up, aud anion,' llio latter was a professional tramp who had been stealing a ride. After the doctor had looked him over the vagabond, who had not lost conscious ness for a moment, smiled faintly and asked: "Wall, pard, what's tho verdict of the jury?" "You are badly hurt," was tho reply. "I know that. I was right in tho squeeze when the two cars cum to- i gether. I'm as flat as a pancake. t ill I ever tramp ajin? "I'm afraid not."

"Wall, I'd hcv liked to got over this and had sumthin to talk about and brag over, buf I ain't doin' no kickin'. My pard was on tho car ahead. Was he hurt?" "No; hero he is." At that moment a ragged, unkempt and typical vagabond camo forward and bent over the victim and asked: "Wall, .Tim, they sav you hev to go?" "Yes." "Howyc feelin' over it?" "Sorter. No use to kick, Tom." "That's right; you never was no kicker, nohow. Got any friends?" "No." "Want word taken to anybody?" ".Vo." "Kin I do anythin fu? ye?" The dying man gazed at him for a moment in silence and then whispered: "Tom, ye ar' the only pardncr I ever had as knowed tho Lord's prayer. Jest say it over to me." The old tramp pulled off his cap and knelt down, and as the score of us un covered and bowed our heads ho re peated tho prayer word for word aud with such feeling as astonished every body. When he had finished ho rose up and said: "That's it, Jim, and kin I f)o any thVV more?" "Xothing moro for him!" answered the doctor, as he looked down upon tho palo face. "Your partner is dead!"

Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects arc due to the fact, that itis tho one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating tho organs on which it nets.
