ing anecdote Of d cat:
"she was very still, and appeared to be fast
asleep, when suddenly she sprang into the mid
de OF the room where she f1ed her feet on
limited spot on the floor, to which also her nose
was applied, as if closely grasping something
she held in her claws. This continued for
short time, when the nose YVES gently raised, and
the visible attention was directed to the feel,
which still continued their grasp; but after 3
time one Of them was gradually removed,

Effect OF London Water Upon the

The reason Of it, however, has been aacertained
andTil I be- obgiated~ But the discovery suggests
conaide1ations @ Of no small interest to a large
nart Of our London population. The Directors
of the aquarium had unsuspectinsly supposed
that water which is considered to be puro
enough for uB to drink would be pure enough
for fishes, water beetles and such small fry to
i've in. They filed their tanks with the water
supplied by the London company, and as tlla5

She thus secured party in her favor, which she

Tho Old Tavern Sign. EE
Within those early days which led

Ths legend OF onr nations glory.
It told Of Yorktown-when the flush
or victory had crowned with laurel
Theae arms which since have left the blueh
To teach that foe second moral.
The artist we'll had there portrayed
These heroes In their regimentals,
The red-ooats vanquished and dismayed
Before the rebel continentalsi
MY boyish fancy heard the shout
OF triumph loud above me ringing,
And saw the flag Of freedom fiout
The azure while the sign was swinging.
It was our road on market days,
And Uncle Ben, who drove the wagon,
Would always halt and let me gaze
While he went in and quaffed his hagon.
Since then no masterpiece Of paint
To me has ever been go speaking
Az that old turnpike sign, 80 quaint.
Above me ct the readable breaking.
The sign Is gonel The post alone
Stands guard bereft OF paint and gliding;

And temperance House" is on the build
