A Cat Exterminat0r.

An Iowa mai has at last struck the
correct method of dealing with cats, &C.
cording to the Detroit Free Press.
Many people have spent sleepless hours
in the long watches of the night trying to
solve tho cat-problem. It is true that
the young lady in Belfast. Me-, thought
she nad hit on their proper treatment,
when she could entice q number of
felines into q room and then pounce
upon one, whirl the cat around adozen
times to excite it's interest in the pro-
ceedings and then suddenly bring pro-
ceedings to a close by letting the cats
head come in violent contract with a
chair. This plan, though good, is nee
essarily slow, and so precedence must
be given to the Iowa mans invention.
He secreted ten pounds of a reliable
brand of gunpowder where it would do
the most good. He then induced a grand
chorus of cats to collect in the immedi-
ate neighborhood by means of q liberal
collation. of milk, etc. An electric spark
set off the gunpowder. The cats left.
If it had not been for the presence of
mind of the man we might never have
learned the number of cats killed.
However, he took the %precaution to count
thirty-one Just before the explosion, and
it was we'll he did 80, for no n could
make out the number by an examination
of the remnats which were scattered
around afterwards.

Ants Small Talk.

"Two ants" says Buchner, "when
they are talking together, stand with
their heads opposite each other, work
ing their sensitive feelers in the liveliest
manner, and tapping each others
heads" Numerous examples prove
that they are able in this way to
make mutual communications, and
even on certain definite subjects. 81
have often" says the English naturalist,
Jesse, "placed a small green caterpillar
in the neighborhood of an ants nest.
1t is Immediately seized by IN ant,
which calls in the assistance of friend,
after Intellectual efforts to drag the
caterpillar into the nest. It a be
clearly seer that the little creatures
held a conversation by means Of their
f~eelers, and this being ended, they re.
pair to the caterpillar in order to draw
it into the nest by their united strength.
Further, I have observed the meeting
of ants on their way to and from their
nests. They stop, touch each other
with their f~eelers, and appear to hold a
conversation, which I have good reason
to suppose refers to the best ground for
obtaining food" Hague writes O letter
to Darwin, that he one day killed with
his fingers number Of ants that came
every day from q hole in the wall to
some plants standing on the chimney
piece. He had tried the effect of brush
ing them away, but it Was of no use and
the consequence of the slaughter was
that the ants who were on the way i'm
mediately turned back and tried to per-
suade their companions who were not
yet aware of the danger to turn back
also. A short conversation issued be-
tween the ants, which, however, did
not result in an immediate return, for
those which had just left the nest first
convinced themselves of the truth of the
report.

Suicide and Hard Times.

Plenty of suicides are still reported,
says a New York correspondent. Many
Of the victims are persons who were of
no account in the world, but now and
then we hear of the suicide Of a man or
woman who promised we'll and who
might have done well. Failure to find
work is frequently the cause of the act
on the male side, but not always.
Domestic trouble usually leads to it
among women. 4 few days ago a
Spaniard, a man of good family connec-
tions and fair personal accomplishments,
committed suicide in his boarding house.
He had made a living by singing in
opera, but latterly this o failed
him, and as his prospects in life were
growing dark he closed accounts with
the world by leaving it. One of his
fellow boarders testified before the
coroner that the Spaniard had frequent
ly expressed a horror of work and said
it would be more honorable to die. But
most of those who take the last desper-
ate leap do so because they cannot, or
fancy they cannot, find means to live.
New York swarms with men of fair ca
pacity who cannot get employment of
any sort. AS a rule, such men fare
worse than men of a coarser fibre. be-
cause they are disqualified for taking
hold of the odd jobs that men of the
rougher class occasionally pick up. 1t
would be almost suicidal for q stranger
to come to New York expecting to find
O. situation.

Utilizing the Flood Water Of the Nile.

Another gigantic engineering project
has been suggested, namely, diverting
It portion of the food water of the Nile
into the deserts Of Nubia, Libya> and
Soodan. As is we'll known, the main
stream Of the Nile is fed by the great
equatorial lakes OF Africa, and it's annual
foundations are caused by the thrush of
.torrent water, laden with soil from the
fertile slopes of the Abyssinian plateau.
This silt is now for the most part depos-
ited in the bed of the Mediterranean,
where Il is gradually forming a new
delta. Sir Samuel Baker, in a letter to
the London Times, after rehearsing
these facts, proposes a plan by which.
not only the water of the Nile, but the
mud which it now deposits wastefully,
may be utilized as a g Of ~fertilizing
the deserts south of Egypt. He pro-
poses, by suitable engineering works, to
divert a portion of the Nile food water
into these deserts, where it can deposit
its rich sediment in the sands, and also
irrigate them 30 as to transform them
into "cotton fields that would render
England Independent Of America" He
would construct sluices and dams at diff
ferent points of the Nile !; tthe cataracts,
for instance. These dams and %sluices,
by enabling craft to pass the cataracts,
would also render the Nile navigable
from the Mediterranean to Gondokore.

A Wedding and a Funeral.

The funeral of the late Sylvester
Hondlow, the well-known real estate
broker, took place yesterday afternoon
from the Church of the Holy Trinity,
at the corner of Clinton and Montague
streets Brooklyn Heights. The attend
ance was large but, by request of the
daughters, there were no floral decora-
tions. The rector, the Rev. DR..
Charles H. Hall read the burial service
and made an address, in which he spoke
with warm appreciation OF the worth OF
Mr.. Rondlow.
About an hour before the funeral the
rector solemnized at Mr.. Hondlow's
house No 81 Monroe place the marriage
of Miss Minnie Hondlow, Mr., Hond-
lows eldest daughter, to the Rev. Will
lam P. Short, assistant pastor of the
church. Mr.. Hondlow's unexpected
death left his motherless daughters
without a living kinsman to whom they
could look for protection or counsel,
and it was deemed best by the friends
of both the bride and the bridegroom
that Miss Minnie be married at once to
Nj. Short, whom she was expecting to
we'd in the spring. The young lady
was finally persuaded to waive her natu-
raj reluctance, and with tears in her
eyes was welded in the house where her
fathers remains lay ready for burial.
The marriage covenant ratified, the bride
and bridegroom went together to the
church and thence together followed
the fathers remains to their resting
place in Greenwood.-NeW York World.

His Letter Answered.

A susceptible young law student in
Cleveland, catching a glimpse of a
sweet-faced woman in a street car and
following her on the opposite side
of the street until he saw her enter a
house, turned aside, wrote a love letter
to the fair unknown "with bright blue
eyes, who wore a mink boa, and a seal
brown Dress" and left it at the door.
Now, q middle-aged couple lived in the
house ; but their niece, a young married
lady from the west-side had called there
on that afternoon. The letter was sent
to the young wife, and she la~ughingly
told her husband that he must answer
it. This he did somewhat as follows
Mrs -('the young lady with the
bright blue eyes, who wore a mink boa,
ETC., } returns compliments for the ,ad-
miring note written by yourself but
does not think that at presentshe desires
to correspond with any law student, no
matter how brilliant his prospects may
be. She will file your application,
however, and when she is the recipient
of a certain paid-up life insurance policy
which she holds against my life, she
may be willing to correspond with you.
Pending that time, she begs me to sub
scribe myself for her-The Husband of
sTheYoung Lady WITH etc."

The Chinese Question,

San Francisco now figures out a pop
ulation of $780, "The only dis
couraging feature of this population"
the San Francisco Chronicle says, sis
the presence of 30 many non-assimila-
tive Mongoliaps. One year ago there
were 80, 900 of them here, and there are
probably about 40, 900 now, nearly all of
whom are males. This reduces the
white population to 23O, 1000. In 1876
there were loo, 1850 white males over 81
years of age, and the present number is
about III, 900. While the number of
Chinese would not be of any great con.
sequence if there were as many women
and children among them as among the
whites, the fact that out of a total Chi
nese population of 40, 900 at least IS, 900
are adult males, making one-fourth Of
the total adult population of the city, is
full of significance. It shows the nature
of the competition u laboring men
have to withstand"

A Mustard Plaster.

How many people are there who really
know how to make q mustard plaster !
Not one in a hundred at the most, per-
haps, and yet mustard plasters are used
in evsryfamily, and physicians prescribe
the application. The ordinary way is to
mix the mustard with water, tempering
it with a little -four. Such a plaster as
this makes is simply abominable. Be-
fore it has half done it's work it begins
to blister the patient, and leaves him
finally with a fayed, painful spot, after
producing far less effect in a beneficial
way than was intended. Now, a mus
tard plaster should never blister at all.
If a blister is wanted, there are other
plasters far better than mustard plasters.
Then use no water, but mix the mustard
with the white Of all egg, and the result
vii be a plaster which will "draw" per-
fectly, but will not produce a blister on
the skin of an infant, no matter how
long it is allowed to remain on the part.

Hunting q Jack.R Rabbit.

A letter from Standing Rock, Dakota
Territory, describes q hunt on the
prairies. After killing a fox the writer
continues But it was not long before
we met an animal worthy of our steeds
and hounds. It was q meek, lamb-like
~jack-rabbit, and when he vas routed
out of his snug bed by the army of
horses and dogs, the cool manner in
which he took in the situation would
have called forth the admiration of the
most self-collected road agent the West
ever produced. He didn't make a fool
Of himself like the Inflated fox, and run
himself out OF wind right away, but in a
quiet way took up the mathematical
problem OF putting down three and
carrying one, meanwhile keeping his
top eye peeled on the hounds all the
time. As the dogs drew near he quietly
and gradually got his surplus leg down
to business. Then the dogs thought
they had him, and piled their legs with
all their might. Now they are close on
him and are about to gobble him, when
10 ! he suddenly changes his mind as to
the course best to be pursued and angles
off short to the right, and is twenty rods
away from his pursuers before they can
change their course. Again and again
do the dogs draw up to the rabbit, only
TO find themselves the victims of mis-
placed confidence, and pursuing with all
their might a direction opposite to that
Of their intended prey. AS the dogs
learned his tactics they scattered out,
when he ceased his lettering, laid his
head-back on his shoulders, and began
TO tuck his hind legs under his fore ones
with such lightning rapidity that the
space between himself and his pursuers
grew wider and wider, till he was lost to
view. When last een that rabbit was
waiting around the foot of q bluff two
miles away. To our eye he seemed to
be about the size of a grain of shot,
while the hounds resembled SO many
pistol balls. The deer and antelope
are swift runners, but it is our humble
opinion that the iack-rabbit is the
t~icetest animal on the prairie.

S0yereigns of the World.

The Oldest reigning sovereign is Will
liam, German Emperor and King OF
Prussia, who is eighty years of age ; the
youngest is Alphonso XII, OF Spain,
who was twenty last birthday (2Sth OF
November, 1877. The average age OF
the sovereigns now reigning is forty
eight and a half years. It may be added
that four out of the thirty-si8-to wit,
the King of Bavaria, the Duke of Bruins
wick and the Princes of Schwarzburg,
Rudolstadt and Lichterstein-are bach
elors, though all happily provided with
heirs p~resumptive. The thirty-one SOW
ereigns have between them ninety-fve
children living, to say nothing of grand
children, which gives them an average
of more than three to each.
The titles borne by the lllustrlous
personages are many and varied. Five
have in modern times assumed the I'M
perial style. the oldest of existing I'M
perial titles being that of the Gar,
whose predecessor, Peter the Great,
dubbed himself Emperor in 1892, and
was soon after generally acknowledged
as such. The Emperors of Austria, as
such, date from 1906; the title OF En-
peror of Brazil from 1922. The King OF
Prussia has been styled German En-.
peror" since 1871, and the Queen of
England has been proclaimed Empress
of India.
The sovereigns not being emperors
are eleven in number, seven dating their
titles from the present century. 1t is
difficult to say which of these klngly
titles in existence is the Oldest. Those
of Denmark and Norway seem to run
each other closely. On the other hand
our own sovereigns, though in diploma
tic documents they bear little which
dates from 1901, are called by the people
they govern and by the rest of the world
kings or queens of England, a title dat
ing from 1928, when it was first assumed
by Egbert. Down to the reign of Henry
IL, however the sovereign seems to have
been more commonly called the King OF
the English. Harold II. was king of
the English and Lord of the Island OF
Britain"
Four of the sovereigns above men
toned bear titles originally bestowed by
tho Pope, the Emperor Francis Joseph
being "Apostolic" King of Hungary,
whatever that may mean; Alphonso
XII, the "Catholic" King and the
King of Portugal "the Most Faithful "
King. The Queens title Of "Defender
of the Faith was conferred on Henry
VIII. for an indifferent theological
treatise against one Martinus Eleuth-
erus," who was officially proclaimed by
the privy council to have "erred sore."
Those princes who are not emperors and
kings are "princes, ""dukes," or 'grand
dukes" Amaiority of them will proba-
bly, have ceased to exist as sovereigns be-
fore very long. Indeed, the claim of
some of the German princes to be re-
garded as independent sovereigns is
somewhat doubtful. Pail Mall Ga
