what the Cat n Ksn, For.

Boston POst.I
A few days ago a teacher in one
of the primary schoolsin a city not
far from Boston was instructing
her lowest class in natural history.
Her subject was the cat and its
habits, and as she proceeded with
her remarks she was charmed with
the wrapt attention of her diminu-
tive auditors. After her tale was
over she proceeded to question her
scholars in order to see how much
they knew of the subject under
consideration, and many were the
nSwers-showing that she had not
wasted her effort-that she received
AT last she said to the smallest ol
her boys, little mite with chubby
cheeks and glistening eyes:
johnny, what does your mother
keep a cat for 2"
To lay Kittens" was the unex,
pected reply.
The questioning for that session
came to an abrupt end.

little scratched, but not otherwise
injured.
Reignier, the strong man, then
clinched with the gray bear, the
brown bear meantime dancing a
clumsy war dance in the corner.
The first bout between Reignier
and the bear was a simple clinch,
in which neither got the advantage,
but in the second the bear threw
his antagonist heavily, and in a
matter Of fact way that was ludi-
crous in the highest degree. AS he
placed his big paw on the breast Of
the PROSTATE man he looked toward
the audience for approval. Moth
ing daunted, Reignier clinched
again, and was again thrown, al
though he gave Bruin a very good
handful. at length, amid cries OF
"Don't try it again!" he went for
the sixth trial. This time he got
an inside grip, but this Bruin easily
threw of. Then Reignier, who
was down on his knees, seized the
bears paw and held it firmly. This
mode of wrestling was evidently
novel to the bear, who tugged and
pulled in vain to release himself.
In the wildneSs of his strainings he
lost his habitual caution, and Reig-
nier, seizing him behind, actually
threw him head over heels and fell
upon him. This is the first time
Bruin has been hoored. When he
rose to his feet he was fresh anC
anxious for another bout, but Reig,
nier had retired.

Papusn naturalists or dealers to
prepare them for sale by drying the
bird with its plumes after taking
out the intestines and tearing off
the legs. 1t is rarely found except
ing in the countries which produce
spices, and particularly in Austral-
asia, New Guinea, which is COM
prised in that part of the world, and
the Aroo Islands near, contain
many specimens. The pine apple
and the nutmeg tree grow there in
the midst of immense forests, and
supply their principal food. The
Papuans, barbarians as they are, de-
rive considerable profit from the sale
of the bird, and take it with nets
or sticks smeared with birdlime.
In the latter case they take it alive,
but as it is very difficult to preserve,
they prefer to use the bow and
arrow. The manner in which this
chase is carried on is very curious.
The men climb silently in the dark
like cats into the trees in which the
birds sleep, pass the night in the
forks Of the branches, and at day.
break shoot at the birds while they
are still asleep, with very light ar
rows made from the ribs of the
leaves of the palm-tree. Their ad-
dress is so marvellous that the bird
generally falls to the ground intact,
stunned rather than wounded. The
men continue as long as they can,
and then descend to the ground
and proceed to the preparation and
embalming of their victims. The
Malays of Malacca are the chic
purchasers of the birds, which they
carry to the Moluco Isles, whence
they are sent to India, China and
Europe.

Is therefore in effect q simple partnership OF
persons for insuring each others lives. There
being no stock, there can be no sale Of the
Company from one set Of owners and man
ayers TO another; but its affairs remain per-
petually in the entire control Of the members
themselves, to elect board Of twelve direc-
tors each year. This board meets weekly,
and directly supervises all the business of the
Company.
The Company Issues whole life policies with
either annual premiums for life, which il pre-
ters and recommends, or with limited num-
Der Of premiums; it will also issue long-term
endowments. Experience has sheWn that
these are the most advantageous forms of pol
icies, both to the individual and to the Com
pany. We shall, therefore, restrict ourselves
TO them.
The surplus earned in any year is returned
20 the following year. emily By reduction of
premium, thus limiting the payments to the
actual current cost Of the insurance.
