USE OF CATS WHIsKERS

Every one must have observed what
are usually called the whiskers on q
cats upper lip. The use Of these in .
state Of nature is very important.
They are organs Of touch. They are
attached to bed Of close glands under
the skin, and each Of these long hairs
is connected with the nerves Of the lip.
The slightest contact Of these whiskers
with any surrounding object Is thus
felt more distinctly BY the animal,
although the hairs Of themselves have
no feeling They stand out on each
side Of the lions as well as in the com
mon cat, so that from point to point
they are equal to the width Of the
animals body. If we imagine, there
fore, lion stealing through covert
Of wood in an imperfect light, We shall
at once see the use Of these long hairs.
They indicate to him through the
incest feeling any obstacle which may
present itself TO the passage Of his
body they prevent the leaves which
would give warning TO its prey, IL he
were to attempt to pass through too
close a bush, and thus, in conjunction
with the soit cushion of his feet, and
the fur upon which he trcadu, they
enable him TO move towards his victim
with a stiffness even greater that that
Of a snake, which crccps along the
grass, and Is not perceived until Il is
coilcd around itsPrey. Yhcse animals
are all boasts Of prey, and thus we see
how even these seemingly useless hairs
become great hclps to them, and how
wisely God prepares every creature
for lis work. -

THE STRANGER WITNESS

A gentleman, followed by servant
in livery, rode into an inn in the west
Of England one evening, a little after
dusk He told the landlord that he
should be detained in that part of the
country for . few days, and wished to
know If there were any amusemcnts
going on in the town to occupy the
time that he was not busy. He was
informed by the landlord that ii was
their race and assize week, and that
he therefore would have plenty to oc-
cupy his leisure moments. On the
gentleman's making answer that this
was fortunate, as he was fonc of hear
ing trials, the host informed him that
a very interesting robbery trial was to
come of on the next day. That the
evidence was very strong against the
prisoner, and the peoples opinion was
greatly divided, as the man insisted
that be was in another part of the
kingdom when the robbery was com
mitted.
The gentleman expressed considera-
bic anxiety to witness the trial. Ac-
cordingly the next morning the host
procured him a good location through
his influence with the court officers.
While the evidence proceeded against
him, the prisoners eyes remained fixed
on the ground; but upon being called
upon for his defense he looked up, and
seeing the stranger, tainted away. At
first this was supposed to be trick to
gain time, but being questioned on his
recovery, he asserted that that gentle
man could save his life ifhc might put
few questions to him.
The eyes of the whole court were
now turned upon the stranger who
seemed somewhat embarrassed, but
stated that although he could not re-
member the prisoner, he was willing
TO answer any questions that might be
proposed The court granted the pris-
oner's request, and he asked the strang-
er il be remembered being in Dover on
certain date. To which the gentle
man answered that he had landed at
Dover shortly before, but could not
positively affirm that he was there that
exact day.
"Don't you remember that man in
blue jacket and trowsers carried your
trunk to the inn," asked the prisoner.
81 remember that man did carry
my trunk, but do not remember his
Dress
'"But," said the prisoner, anxiously,
''don't you remember that the man
who carried your trunk told you
story about his being in the service,
that he thought himself an ill-used
man, and that he showed you scar
he had on one side of his forehead p
During the last part of the speech
the strangers face changed, and he
said that he did remember the scar.
The prisoner pushed aside his hair dis
playing scar on his forehead, and the
witness. affirmed positively with great
emotion that he was the very man.
A buzz Of satisfaction ran through
the court for the day on which the
witness had met the prisoner at Dover
was the very day Of the robbery
The stranger, however, could not be
certain of the time, but stated that he
sometimes made memorandum Of dates
in his pocket book, and turning to that
found that the date of his landing cor
responded with the prisoners assertion.

well as Of his queue, and when he took

Foiks coy ys're no DER guild yowseiij
But Dell may care;
Gin ys'rc but half ~ good as Ras.
ws'll ask nae mair.
Then dinna seek 10 hnd hawj
But o'er bis faults a mantle thraw,
And leave the rest
To Him who made and tried the heartj
lie kens the best.
A century hence, an wha can tell
What may befa' yer eannis ~r!
Some holy preacher
May TAX the cudgels up for anr
CAD Harry Dcccher.
bae nae doubt ye'd like to ken
wha lis that tak's the auld quillpe
To write this rhyme.
The knowledge wad be little worth
I'm past my prime.
But when lassie, young and fair,
Two wandered aft by bonnie Ayr
WI heartsome glse,
E'cr fate's stern mandate sent me forth
Far o'cr the SEE.
Still Seotia's hills and scotias plains,
Her poets and her poets strains
To me are dear
A desert springs within my heart
They claim u tear.
