ing every wrong aud outrage while living has been
basely vilihed in history. You have ably cleared
up some of the dark points of her story. on which
malignitY had succeeded In casting a shade, and
have shown her as worthy of love as of pity.
1t is one of the special offices of literature -

historical questions of the Old World TO reudge its

The First and the Last Snow.
o. mamma, Is il snowino2r

"Oi mamma! Is it snowing?"
Eyes, darling, it has just begun"
"Isn't it nice, mamma; you know
wanted to live to hear the sleigh-bells
again"
." Hush my child, mamma will not let
you die. No, darling, you shall have
many sleigh-rides yet before you die"
mo, not many, mamma; if l could
have just one it would be so nice"
1t was last Tuesday and little girl
who had seen the snow come and 90 nine
times lay dying in in her humble home
on St. Antoine Street. Weeks and
weeks the fever had burned within her
and its fierce fire showed itself in the
deep blue eyes and the lovely, innocent
face. The mother, an ever constant
watcher at the sufferers pillow, had
never given up hope, but the child with
that knowledge which seems to come to
all before death, knew that she would
never join her merry playmates over on
the school ground. Day by day as the
fever burned she had wished for the
snow to come and when the white
flakes fell the other day the loving
mother changed the child's position
that she might unwarned, catch the
first glimpse of the fieecy snow. The
child gazed out into the Hurried air
long and earnestly and then when the
pain made her writhe, she turned an
appealing look to the sad-faced mother
and said
but, mamma, l don't believe Ishall
ever have another sleigh-ride. Now
promise me if this snow is on the
ground when die you'll have nv coffin
carried to the grave on Sleigh
"Why, my sweet child, why do you
make such a request? You shall not
die-you will grow better tomorrow"
"But, mamma, promise me, will youP
Please, mamma, please"
''Yes, darling, yes"
80, thank you, mamma-that's so
nice. See, it is growing dark outside.
Pull the bed nearer the window,
mamma. so that l can see the street
lamp. There, see-the-fiakes- they
glisten just -like-diamonds. 1t will
be sleighing in the morning, mamma,
and shall hear the bells.''
Like the snow fake that falls upon
the warm earth, she melted away and
no one knows whether she woke to
hear music and bells on that morning
we shall all one day open our eyes upon.

A Disguised Englishman.

1t would be impossible to convey to
English readers any idea of the extent
to which the chewing of tobacco and
the filthy habits to which it gives rise
are prevalent in the States. The first
day that spent in New York l called
upon a gentleman whose name is known
throughout Europe as a railway mag
nate of the first magnitude. A chair
was placed for me about three feet
from his own and | noticed that be-
tween US was a handsome china vase
AS my friend asked permission to finish
a note, l contemplated this vase from
the outside and became doubtful wheth-
er this was the American substitute for
a waste-paper basket or whether the
owner was lover of old china and al
ways kept specimen by his side. On
the note being finished he turned, as
thought, to speak; but before doing so
he poured a cascade of brown fluid
from his mouth into the vase, followed
by the remains of an enormous quid,
and it was not until this operation had
been completed that the gentleman was
able to proceed to conversation.
But my experiences at New York
were mild compared with what found
further West. At Chicago the floor of
the Exchange was entirely covered and
quite slippery with discharged mucus
and saliva, mixed with chewed tobacco
leaves. On a raised platform stood a
number of leading members engaged
in making bids. They appeared to be
as close together as they could stand,
but this did not prevent them from dis
charging streams of saliva from their
mouths, which poured down quite close
to the coats of their neighbors. The
Corn Exchange at Kansas City is not
crowded like the Exchange at Chicago,
and was admitted to it just after the
conclusion of sale. Seats had been
placed for the purchasers and it was
easy to discover exactly how many seats
had been occupied by the pool of saliva
discharged by each visitor during the
short period he was present. At public
meetings l constantly found a stream
of saliva pouring down close to my coat
from the lips of bystander, and if
pause occurred in the discourse, instead
of the traditional pin, you heard saliva
pattering on the floor. This is by far
the greatest scourge of American life.
In travelling it is impossible to escape
from it, and although perhaps it is not
SO constantly seen in private houses, l
found some cases in which men did not
hesitate to expectorate on their own or
other peoples carpets. The loss of
National health and strength resulting
from this practice must be enormous,
and probably the money value of the
waste of saliva in the States is greater
than the annual interest of all the Ma
tional debts in Europe. Islanders

Americas Champion Cat.

The residence of Mr.. Bancroft, No.
% Morgan Street, says the Hartford
Comm Times, is a point of attraction
to a good many visitors aside from those
who make friendly calls upon the fam
lily. Many strangers ring at their door
upon the same errand-an errand of
curiosity. They are DESTROYS to see a
certain famous cat, which makes its
home with the Bancrofts. This animal,
which has become an object of curiosity,
is an ordinary house cat in all except
its great size. 1t is as big as two or
three ordinary cats, having at its best
tipped the scales at twenty-seven and
a quarter pounds, though at the present
time it is two or three pounds lighter.
So far as known it is not only the
champion cat of America, but also of
the world. The cat shows of England
have never yet produced one that equals
it in size. "Boutfe, " as the cat is called,
was twelve years old last April and
COMFORTS itself with as much dignity as
a cat of its size and age should. He
seems to know that he is an object of
attraction and when visitor calls he
takes stand upon table and poises
for admiration. Bouffe has lost his
teeth within the past year and old age
begins to tell upon him. In his younger
days he was a splendid mouser as well
as good rat-catcher. He cleared the
house then so effectually that he has no
opportunity to show his proves now.
But with his teeth gone he could prob
ably come the gum game successfully
over any rat he might meet. When
Bouffe shuflles off this mortal coil his
remains will be in good demand. One
person has spoken for his skull an an
other wants him to stuff, but for all this
he may be consigned to the "cat GEM
etery" in the back yard, where the re-
mains of five felines are already inter-
red. One of the cats weighed fourteen
pounds and another was sixteen years
old when it died.
In speaking of other cats, we may
say that Martin B. Bidwell, the North
Main Street grocer, has fine specimen.
Maltese and white, which weighs fifteen
pounds. But Bouffe, as we said before,
attracts strangers from far and near,

has been provided and the visitors are
requested to leave their autographs.
In looking over this book we found
names from Boston, New York, Albany
and other distant places, showing that
the fame of Hartford's big cat is not
bounded by the circumscribed limits of
Connecticut.
