A MreHrY HUNTER AMONG THE Cars

A MIGHTY HUNTER AMONG THE CATS
A certain lady was recently very sick,
says the Lebanon (Ky). Standard, and,
owing to the nature of the disease acute
dyspepsia she could eat no kind OF meat
except wild meat. Her brother engaged
a certain boy to keep her supplied with
squirrels, but, as advancing civilization
has almost driven that species of rodentia
from our midst, and the boy not being an
expert at the business, the supply became
exhausted. This necessitated an extra
exertion on the part of the family to pro.
cure fresh supply of wild meat, and
while they were devising ways and means
for that purpose, domestic cat, belong.
ing to the family, brought in nice young
rabbit, and, with an air Of great satisfac'
ton, laid it by the bed of the sick lady:
This was repeated by the cat several
times afterward during the lady's illness,
but never except when the supply Of wilt
meat on hand was exhausted. 1t nevel
did the like before, and ceased to do Sc
As soon as the lady recovered.

PRESS SECRETS A curious press case
has lust come before the Swiss law courts.
M. Winterther, responsible editor of the
Volksblatt, refused to give the name OF
the writer of an article incriminated.
An examining magistrate being then APP
pointed to discover, if possible, who was
the writer, at once summoned the editor
before him as witness, and under the
threat of legal penalties, insisted on hav-
ing the name. The editor appealed, but
the Supreme Court decided that the
magistrate was right. In future, there
fore, in Switzerland, the manager OF
journal will be unable to conceal any
writer's name in court of justice.

RujIding Houses.

The Pal Mall Gazette says truly that
one of the many errors which people who
build houses are apt to commit is that OF
living in them, or, rather, dying in them,
before they are sufficiently dry for occu-
patton. It not unfrequently happens
that a man, disguised with the effective
sanitary arrangements OF the generality
of houses, ancient and modern, builds a
dwelling for himself and his family, con-
structed with all the modern improve
ments and, in his anxiety to commence
career of longevity, rushes into it
almost before the workmen are out of it,
and while the walls are still saturated
with moisture. The consequences are
as might have been expected; in addi-
ton to the architects charges, the rash
owner is called upon to pay, within the
first few months, o further bill to the
doctor, and too often to the undertaken
also. A Ahouse-agent not long ago, being
asked why the house-agency business
was so commonly combined with thai
of the undertaken, grimly replied thai
the two "went together = and, on being
asked for further explanation, statet
that he had found, as an almost invaria
BILE rule, that when, as house-agent, HI
found tenant for q newly-built house
he was applied to as an undertaken OF
behalf of that tenant or some member o
his family within twelvemonth iron
the date Of occupation. Ae added tina
he himself (the house.agent) would b
sorry to live in any house ''that had no
been baked by six summer suns.
Whether this amount Of baking is abso
lutely required is question for doctor
and architects to decide but there cal
be no doubt whatever that . want 9
caution in this respect leads occasionall
to the most lamentable consequences.
