A NATIONAL car SnOw.-T'h e
eighth national cat show was opened
on October 20 at the Crystal Palace,
London. There were sos cats on ex>
hibition. Some were arrayed in white,
gray and silver dresses, and some had
coats of wire that emitted phospho-
ric sparks when the fur was rubbed
the wrong way. One of the exhibi>
tors set value of 925,000 on Little
Brownie short haired tabby aged
three years. This highly esteemed
little puss was described in the cata-
logue as being OF thoroughbred des-
cent from cats in possession of the
owner and her father for nearly thirty
Years, and a tabulated pedigree for
seven generations framed and glazed
was affixed to the sales office in the
palace. Notwithstanding the feates

Weight Of the Human Body.

There are few people but.like to be
weighed occasionally some do it re-
gularly at certain hours, before and
after meals, or taking a bath, etc. =
Yet there are few things SO change
aole as the weight Of the body; in
deed it is rarely the same for "a few
minutes together; and if u man were

day, the other plate would be con-
stantly oscillating within certain

time OF the year in huence our wei 5ht.
Ia summer we grow fatter than we
are in winter, such is the genera
rule; yet most people believe that
hot weather makes lis ealler. 1t is
true we eat less and perspire more J;
these are. certainly two causes of loss;
but. on the other hand, we expend
less to keep up the temperature Of the
body, and moreover we drink more,
and our beverages possess the curious
property of increasing our fat. Beer,
and even pure water, are great
fattening agents. Cattle reared for
slaughter get a great deal to drink
which increases their bulk considers
ably the tissues are gorged with
liquid, and SO the weight. increases,
but the system is weakened. In
winter, the organism has to be pro-

also expend more to keep up tn e

we drink less, sothat, on the whole,
the loss is greater than the gain, and
We grow lean. In short, we tatten

DEATH OF john, HUss.-When John
iTuss, the Bohemian martyr, was
brought out TO he burnt they put on
his head a sripfe crown of paper with
painted devils on it. On seeing it he
said
"My Lord Jesus Christ for my
sake wore crown of thorns why
should I,then, for his sakenot wear this
light crown, be it ever so ignomin
ious? Truly will do it, ard that
willingly
When it was set upon his head the
Bishop said
Now, We commend thy soul to the
devil"
"But I" said Huss, lifting his eyes
to heaven, ''do commit my spirit into
thy hands Oh, Lord Jesus Christ,
to thee I commend my spirit which
thou hast redeemed :"
When the fagots were piled up to
his very neck the Duke of Bavaria
was otiicious enough to desire him to
abjure.
"No," said Huss, Il never preach,

and what l have taught with my lips

TIE INNOCENT FATHER.-Hundred
of people yesterday remarked that it
seemed just like spring weather. The
rain, and mist, and fog, and the public
expressions, probably put the idea into
the Starting boy's..head. He came down
town and bought stuffed robin at a
bird store, went home and placed it on
the limb of shade three, aud when the
father came home to dinner his atten-
ton was called to the fact that the spring
birds had returned.
"Good gracious me !" lie exclaimed,
as he put on his spectacles and saw the
robin.
"Winter is over, isn't it!' inquired
Mrs. Startling.
"Of course it is. Well, that beats
me. You might as well take that money
I laid up for more coal and fix the chill
dren up with new shoes.
While the old man was combing his
hair for dinner Tom put the bird on
the gate post, and his father saw the
second robin and exclaimed
''Eliza, if any poor folks come around
here give 'em half those 'taters in the
cellar, for the weather'n be hotter'n bla-
zes In less than month"
Before the innocent man showed back
from the table the bird was roosting on
q shrub, but careless handling had pull
ed all the ail-feathers out.
ssThat can't be robin," mused the
old man, and he put on his hat and
went out and lifted the bird from the
limb. While he was lifting, Tom was
flying down the alley. How he came
out last night the public may never
knox

The correspondent of the Paris Tens
who has followed the Prince of Wales
in his tour through India, relates ali
amusing story of an over-zealous police
man. While in Cey Ion, the Prince
paid a visit to the public gardens at
Colombo, and police officer noticing
that "tail gentleman with a heavy
beard" was following close behind him
went up to him and said in an angry
tone "Why the devil don't you take
your hat off sir2" The gentleman replied
that when be met the Prince or had oc-
cassion to address him, he took his hat
off, but that at other times he remained
covered. AS the policeman had not the
power to compel him to walk barehead-
ed, he contented himself with limiting
in menacing tone 'tYou had better
stand back, and not dog his Royal High
ness like that" The correspondent of
The Temps adds that the police officer,
whom he ascertained that the "suspici-
GUS character" was the Duke of Suther-
land, "was on the high point of falling
to the ground senseless, as one who had
had a sunstroke." But French CORE
epondents are prone to invention.

And so "the boys were sent TO school;
While Tom, OF course, was left behind,

But he went to work on the farm again,

And people said he had common sense.
