Whistling to a Squirrel.

One afternoon last summer when out

cred in an oak tree, some twenty yards
away, red squirrel stretched at full
length on a limb taking a sun bath. In
stead of raising my rifle and sending a
ball through the little fellow Gt's a

deavOrs to kill all he sees) l decided to
give him a little pleasure if could, so

An Eccentric Cat.

Mr. Willis. who lives in Oldham
County. Ky, had a cat which daily re
NAMED away from the house several
hours at a time. One day Mr.. Willis
was walking through a piece Of woods
about a mile from his house, when he
saw his cat few yards ahead Of him,
sitting in kind Of recess under arock.
It would sit still for a long time, then
walk over to some object near It IN the
hole and rub its head against it. purrlng
most contentedlv. What was his aston
ishment when he came up to the edge
Of the rock. and saw that the object
of the eats attention was nothing more
nor less than a large black snake. The
snake was curled up in aring, and when
the cat would approach it the snake
would thrust up its head to receive the
cats caresses. This continued for
about half an hour, when the cat evil
IDENTIFY grew weary, and, after turning
around several times to insure a COM
Portable position. lay down beside the
snake and was soon fast asleep. The
next day Mr.. Willis took couple OF
friends with him to witness this strange
spectacle. The maneuvers were re-
peated. At length they resolved to kill
the snake, and did so. This seemed to
completely overwhelm the cat with
grief, and it used to visit the rock daily,
as usual, for several days, without, how
ever, finding out what became Of its
rOmnaniOn.

School Teachers Salaries.

A proposal in the Boston School
Board to reduce the salaries Of the
school teachers OF that city gave
Rev George A. Thayer a chance to free
his mind on the subject in a minority
report. He had obtained estimates, he
said. from careful and trustworthy per-
sons. of the incomes enjoyed by sue
cessful members of the learned profes.
sions in Boston. Fifty lawyers make
$4,000 a year and upward; one hun
dred make from 1000 to $4,000; one
hundred or more make from $4,000 to
1000. Eleven doctors are believed to
make $1,000 a year, forty from $4,000
to $50, 900, eighty from %, ,0O0to so, 900.
and two hundred from s., 900 TO $1,000.
In three leading Protestant sects,
twenty-One ministers receive salaries
ranging from S4,0O0to $4,000. For his
part, the Rev. Mr.. Thayer thought that
Boston should seek for the teachers of
its children large-minded persons,
whose abilities would have earned them
distinguished success in any of these
other professions or in trade. But it
could not set such teachers unless it
was prepared to assure them honorable
comfort and an old age free from care
about money,

The Center Of Population.

For several weeks an expert "cal-
culator' has been at work in the census
office figuring out the location of the
center of population Of the United
States. 1t is not an easy task, as one
can imagine who gives the matter a
little thought. The whole territory is
divided up into small squares, and the
population ascertained for each square
This is arrived at by consulting the
population of each civil district, town.
Ship or ward. The squares are made
to balance against each other until a
common center is ascertained. An
expert calculator has already been en-
gagged more than a month in this work,
and another month will be required
before the true center is known. The
work has progressed far enough. how
ever, to show that the center will be
very near Cincinnati, certainly not over
four or five miles from the business
center of the city. A few weeks ago it
was thought the center would make a
final "landing" upon the hills which
encircle Cincinnati to the nOrthward,
but progressive calculations now indi-
cate that it will cross the Ohio River
and establish itself on the south side.
This is owing to the unexpected increase
of population in the South, which will
cause the center to shift further south
ward than heretofore

Viewed from the smoke and misery Of his dim
Civilization,
How seems. I'd like 10 ask-how seems to him
The proud Caucasian
I shape the question as he saunters nigh,
But shame 20 ask II.
We turn to price his wares instead, ana BUY,
Perhaps a basket.
But this Is strangeI A man without preteHse
OF wit or reading,
Where did he get that calm intelligence,
That plain gOOd-breeding:
With him long patience, fortftude unspent,
Untaught sagacity;
Culture with us, the curse of discomfort
Pride and rapaclty
Something we gain of him and bear away
Besides our purchase.
We look awhile upon the quivering bay
And shimmerlng blrcnes
The young sQuaW bearing up from the canoes
Some heavy lading;
Along the beach a picturesque papoose
Splashing and wading;
The withered crone, the camp smokes slow
The pufs that blind her;
The girl, her silhouette On the sun-lit tent
ShadOwed behind her;
The stalwart brave Watching his burdened
wife,
Erect and stOlid.
We look, and think with pity Of Life
So poor and squalid!
Then at the cheering signal of bell
We slowly wander
Back to the world. back to the great hotel
Looming up yOnder.
