USE OF CATS WHISPERS.

Every one must have observed what
what are usually called the whiskers on
cats upper lip. The use of these in a
state Of nature Is very important. The,
are organs of touch. They are attached
TO bed of close glands, under the skin
and each Of these long hairs ia connec-
ted with the nerves Of the lip. The
slightest contact Of these whiskers
with any surrounidg objects is thus felt
more distinctly by the animal, although
the hairs of themselves have no feeling.
They stand out ON each side of the
lion IS well as in TIP common cat, so
that from point 70 pint they are equal
to the width ofthe animals body. If
we imagine, therefore, lion stealing
through covert OF wood in an i'm
perfect light, We shall at once see the
use ofthese long hairs. They indicate
to him through the incest feeling any
obstacle which may present itself to
the passage Of its body; they prevent
the resting Of the boughs and leaves
which would give warning to its prey,
If he were to attempt to pass through
too close bush, and thus, in conjunc-
ton with the soft cushions of his feet
and the fur upon which he treads, they
enable him to move toward his victim
with stiffness even greater than that
of a snake, which creeps along :be
grass, and is not perceived until it is
coiled around its prey. These animals
are all bessts of prey, and thus We see
how even these seemingly useless hairs
become great helps to them, and how
wisely God prepares every creature for
it's work.

The v,bratory Nats,

In order that professions may safely
cross large suspension bridges, it i.
necessary that they shonld break step
In order to insure safety; and it is told.
IN illustration, that when the first sss.
pension bridge was building in England
fiddler offered to demolish it with bis
fiddle. Striking one note after another
he eventually hit the vibrating note or
fundamental tone, and threw the
ssructnre INFO extraordinary vibrations.
Only recently bridge went down in
france under the tread Of a regiment
OF infantry who neglected to break step
on entering it. Three hundred persons
we're drowned. The experiment of
breaking a tamblet or ether glass vessel
oy frequent repetitions of some parties
ular note of tho human voice belongs to
the same class of phenomena.

That LITTLE GIRL.-The jovial cap
tain Of one of the steamships now in
port tells a good story relative to tn.
May and December marriages 30 com
mon in Brazil. A Brazilian gentleman
apparently over fifty years of age, wa,
q passenger on his vessel. He wa.
accompanied BY two girls one alb W,
fifteen, and another younger. Tn.
gentleman was seasick in the cabin, and
the girls were on deck; whereupon tn.
captain endeavored to amuse them
took them on his knees, and told them
stories, while be enjoyed their prattle
and pretty smile. In the midst of this
pleasant occupation the sentleman
came on deck.
With fierce expression be gazed
upon the scene for moment, and then
inquired in harsh, husky voice: "You,
sir, are you nlarrfed," ''Yes; have a
daughter older than your little girl
here" said the captain. s.She reminds
me very much Of mine" Here he
patted the pretty cheek. ssThat little
girl, sir" exclaimed the indignap,
Brazilian, with great emphasis, ssthat
littls girl is my wife, sir!" The captain
collapsed.

How TO Cook RIcE.-The following
is the method recommended by the
French Academy for cooking rice,
during the siege of Paris. Put one
cupful OF rice and one-fourth of . cup.
ful of water in saucepan; cover and
place it over a good fire; after an hour
the water will be evaporated, aud the
rice cooked tender. but dry, and with
the trains distinct, not in a paste -
Sufficient salt should be taken not to
disturb the rice while cooking. By
adding little butter, and allowing the
rice to dry little more over gentle
fire, most delicate dish is prepared.

VIoLErs.-Perhaps it may be of IN.
terest to some of our female friends to
know how to raise in winter those sweet
scented and beautiful little fowers-v,o.
iets.-first take few old boards and
construct a bottomless box, about three
or four feet in length, and two feet
square, sinking it in the earth nearly its
full depth, ON the sunny side of the gar.
den. The top Of the box should bs
slantlng and covered with a glass door
or lid ON hinges. After having the
box we'll fixed, plant four or five good
healthy violet stalks, and the bed il
complete. But to run the same success
fully great care is necessary. During
the day, IN warm and pleasant weather.
the glass lid should be opened, but al
ways closed at night. when cold wealth,
or sets in the glass should be we'll GOV.
ed with dry leaves and when wanted to
bloom the covering removed. On yerv
cold nights the box should be covered
with three OF four pieces of carpet, AZ
also ON very cold days. The plan ha.
been known to work, and violets on
Christmas and New Year made ou,.
plentiful.
