Cats Customs.

Cats are not supposed to have the in
telligence OF dogs, and yet if We observe
them we find that they are capable OF
great deal of reasoning. A cat belong
ing ts us had kitten, which, when it
learned to drink milk from saucer
with its mother, was given to Leigh-
Dor. For many days after, the old c.
never drank more than 8 certain quanti-
ty OF the milk given to her, leaving tie
rest for the kitten, which was hourly ex
pacted to return. After a time, flnd n
that the kitten did not return, she re-
sumed her habit of drinking the W ole
of the milk placed in the saucer. We
were calling at cottage, when an old
cat came in. "Ah,' said the woman o.
the house, I" she has been to see what
our neighbor's cat has got for her. She
is too old to hunt for herself, so Gu
Deighbor's cat will keep mouse or
bird for her, and she goes regularly every
morning to see what is for her." An
other cat we have seen who has been
taught tricks in the same manner as
dog, and if her master places her on the
table and says DE-" she will lie quite
motioDless, and mot move paw or her
tail until he tells her to get up, when
she jumps up Immediately, and is as
frisky as ever.

The Nevada schoolmaster.

Harry Fioty was a univ ~aity man
who had been some time in Nevada, and
having had bad luck, couldn't DO better
than to leave the digging and take 20
school teaching. He was pale, slender,
and scholarly looking, and the president
of the bosrd OF trustees said to him,
sorrowfully, as he brushed tear:
& Mister, you may be book learned,
but it takes more than that for teacher
in the Cranberry Gulch school, as you
viii find. The last teacher zlasee

and the one before him was very much
eaten by the eels when we found his
body, and the three before him ran away
with only about four eyes and six legs
between them. Our boys are rough and
don't stand no nonsense"
4" Let me try" replied Harry, mildly.
" I'm weak, but have will. I'll open
next Monday at nine a. M"
At eight Harry went down to the
school>house, with the key in one hand
and valise in the other.
Sixty scholars were ioafng around in
a good big crowd to see what would turn
up, while the undertaken stood near
waiting for job.
" Ready to slope if he finds we are too
much for him, whispered the big bow
legged, cross eyed bully OF the school, a
deyilish looking chap, nineteen years
old.
The new teacher gazed pensively at
the adjacent graveyard. opened the valise

1t cannot be that earth is mans only

life is a bubble cast upon the ocean OF

face, and then go down into nothiDgness
snd darkness forever. Else, why is it
shat the high and glorious aspirations
which leap ike angels from the temple
oi cur hearts are forever wandering
abroad, unsatisied7 Why is that the
ixinbow and the cloud come over with q
beauty that is not of earth, and then
ass od and leave US to muse on their
iaded loyeliness? Why is it that the
stars which hold their festival around
the midnight throne, are set above the
grasp OF our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproachable
glory? And finally, why is it that
bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sented to the view. and then taken from
us. leaving the thousand streams OF the
affections to flow. back in Alpine torrents
upon cur hearts. We are born for a
higher destiny than that of earth.
There is a realm where the stars will
be spread out before us like the islands
that slumber on the ocean ; and where
the beautiful beings that here pass be-
fore us ike visions will stay in our pres

CHINESE RICE PAPER.
The Material of which its 8ade-Ifs
Vsrfou. Uses. -

The nRteriaI of which it's 5ade-Ifs
Vsr'ou. Uses. -
Every body is familiar with those bril-
liant. quaint pictures of insects, birds
and flowers, painted upon a thick, soft
translucent material we have always
called rice paper" This is not made
of rice. 1t is the thin slices of the pith
of a plant or tree of the l'Aralis" family
the fatsia papy ryera OF modern botan,
lists. The tree grows about 20 feet high
and its pith is an extensive article of
commerce in China, for it is used in the
manufacture of many articles, especially
toys and artificial flowers. The cylin-
ders OF pith exposed on removing the
bark and woody fiber are rarely an inch
and half in diameter, and as the sub
stance is delicate and tender rare skill
and practice are required to cut the
whole stick from circumference to center
into one continuous sheet. A long.
thin, very sharp knife is used for this
operation. The largest sheets that can
be obtained in this way are about Is in@
ches long by 10 wide. AS soon as the
sheets are cut they are spread out, all
little holes carefully mended with bits of
mica and then they are pressed under
weights until dry. The refuse scraps.
etc., go to make pillows the ordinary
sheets are dyed brilliantly and sold to
the flower makers, while the lart est
sheets are destined for the foreign mar
ket after being carefully painted by
skIllful native artists. There is no SUBJ
stance yet discovered that so we'll repre-
sents the delicate texture OF the petals
of flowers as this paper Of pith, and it is
exported to some extent by artificial
flower manufacturers. The tree could
no doubt be grown here, as our climate
is much like that of China.
One of the most interesting things to
see in China is the daily flower fair in a
certain street in Pekin. Stretching
along the narrow street for more than
halt mile is a grand exposition of pith,
paper and silk flowers Foreigners stand
fascinated before the stands watching the
skill of the flower makers. Each one is
provided with an assortment of pinceTs,
some wire, pot of glue, knives and
some pith paper of many hues. In a
short time, while his deft fingers move
with bewildering rapidity, he will coun-
ter'eit the dahlia, aster, rose, or what
ever real flower lies be fore him for
model. His skill in cutting leaf, calyx
and petals is equalled only by his mar
velous eye for delicate differences OF
tint. Here the peddlers get their sup.
plies for the day. 1t is astonishing to
see how fond the people are of these
beautiful counterfeits of nature. The
Chinese women wear no bonnets or hats,
but do their hair up in elaborate fashions
and wear flowers instead In soma
parts OF the kingdom you may know II
woman be maid, widow or "latron by the
color of the flowers she wears In her
hair. The parasol, where the women
wear no hats, is of course,,an indispensable
article for any outdoor excursion, and
the whole family of psrasols and umbrei-
las in China is marvel. They are gep>
orally made of silk or paper and are often
chef PPuvres of art.
