Cat Meat.

Chambers Journal tells us: Ludlow
street, a very unsavory quarter of New
Yark, is inhabited chiefly, if not wholly,
by Poles. They are the cat meat pur-
veyors of the city; hunting the streets at
night to capture cats for sausage. Three
OF them especially devote themselves to
getting, feeding, and breeding cats for
the table. The cats captured are care
fully examined. Those in good plight at
once killed. The others are fattened.
When kept in yard, the walls are
smeared with something so obnoxious to
the feline nature that no cat will pass it.
A recent visitor to Ludlow street yard
says: at presents most amusing spec
tacle. About 100 cats of all sizes, cOlors
and ages were sleeping, eating, quarrel
ling and caterwauling; all grades being
represented, from the handsome Angora
and Maltese to the homely backyard
Tom. When considered fit for eating
the cats arc sold to small butchers who
make specially of cat sausage. The
delicacy has ready sale, which is ever
increasing. Those who indulge in it de.
clare cat meat superior to any rabbit.

White Wax.

1t will be II surprise to large number
of our American women to be told that
the white wax, of which they make such
constant use when engaged in their
household sewing, is the diseased secre-
ton of n peculiar species of fly found i'll
the eastern portions of Central China.
Most Of our countrywomen, if they have
given thought to the subject, have sup
posed that this white wax was some re-
fined product of ordinary bees-wax-an
article that has about it the conditions of
cleanliness and healthfulness, which is
more than can be said of exudations of
insects due to some bodily malady.
These flies apparently become diseased
from feeding on the leaves of particular
kind of evergreen tree or shrub, Of which
they are exceedingly fond. The twigs Of
these trees in certain seasons of the year
are thickly covered with flies, who, in
time, leave upon them thick incrusta:
ton of white matter. When this has
increased to sufficient size the branch
is cut off and immersed in boiling water,
which causes the WAX to come to the sur
face in the shape of a viscid substance,
which is SKINNED off, cleansed, and
aftcrward allowed to cool in pans. The
trade in this article is quite IN extensive
one, as it is estimated that last year the
crop was worth not less than $3, $50, 900.

The Eternal Procession.

1t is n curious fact not generally
known that at certain point on the
upper Columbia, close to the waters
edge, the fine sand is continually travel
ing up stream in one eternal procession.
Talk of the great army of Xerxes on the
march-what was that to the myriad bat
talions that pass the marge Of the mighty
river? In comparison with these tiny
travellers what are the "leaves Of the
forest when summer is greene" This
sand is being continually washed ashore,
and as the water falls away with the
dearth of the season it dries, is taken up
by the winds, carried back up stream, is
blown into the water and makes another
voyage; and SO the work of trausporta-
ton back and forth, by land and by sea,
goes on forever and ever.

The DEVILS Grayestone.

A curious story which will be new to
many is told at birmingham, Mass. Sew
erl years ago there lived in birmingham
hollow prosperous family of Shakers.
At one time several of their porkers were
taken sick, aud they could account for
the complaint in no way except on the
supposition that the devil had entered
into the swine. They tore down the pens
to find him, and in the midst of the work
a weasel ran out from the rubbish. 1t
was perfectly evident that the devil had
passed out into the weasel, so they gave
chase. The creature ran to the top OF
hill and the people, breathless and ex-
cited. followed. At length he was cap

Henry Clay's Wager.

In 1914, when the Peace Commission COM
posed OF Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams,
James A. Bayard and Albert Gallat1n on the
part OF the United States, and Lord Gambler
and Mr.. Goulbourn on the part OF Great Britain,
were endeavor1Dg to come to an understanding
on the important questions of the navigation Of
the Mississippi river ana the fishery privileges,
the British plenipotentiarieS sought to alarm
the Americans by informing them of the inyln-
chile army which was moving on New orleans,
supported by. q powerful fleet. They dwelt on
the gallantry and daring Of Packenham, laid
much stress upon the superb character of his
troops, which they truthfuily declared were the
flower of the British army, veterans of the vic
torious Peninsula campaign, and Lord Gambler
gleefully remarked: New Orleans will soon be
In our possession, and the free navigation OF the
Mississippi assured to u.s."
This greatly nettled Mr.. Clay, who had deter
mined never toconcede the point as to the great
river, which with prophetic eye he saw must
one day become the grandest commercial high
the true kentucklan, he at once offered to
wager Lord Gambler that the British army
would never capture New Orleans and that
Packenham would be disastrouSly defeated
FOR" said he, II am informed that General
Andrew Jackson, from Tennessee. has gone to
New Orleans, and have the most implicit faith
IN BIS ability TO cope with your army" Lord
Gambler joyfully accepted the wager. which be
