The Place Where Cats CANT Live.

Jim Townsend. of Lundy. ha, been
making some experiments with an or
dinnry domestic cat. II has been re-
peatedly stated that cat could not
1.-Two at mn altitude of 1900 feet above
the sea. MIR. Townsend has demon
strated that such is the fact. On Mon-
day last he and another gentleman
made the ascent of Castle Peak, which
is little over $4,000 feet high. They
took with them cat-Thomas-tha
was year old. and had lived at an al
titude of 5000 feet with no symptoms
of disease. Mr.. Townsend had the cat
in box. and as they went up he took
observations and noted very carefully
its every movement. When the sum-
init was reached they pitched their tent.
This was about 2 o'clock in the after
noon. The cat partOOk of some food,
and after playing for an hour or 30, fell
asleep and did not wake up again until
near midnight. When it did recover
consciousness it set up Il howling and
appeared much distressed. Townsend
piticd it and endeavored TO make it feel
at home, but of no use. 1t kept up its
constant moaning and displayed symp-
toms of having fits When morning
came the cat was offered food, bat it
refused to cat. and acted even moro
strangely than during the night. Town
send says it would open its mouth as if
gasping for breath; would jump about.
and then 60 to sleep and wake up with
. start. All this while close watch was
kept and every movement noted. At
8 o'clock in the afternoon the cat died
of exhaustion. = Bodie (Cal.) Free

Female Slavery.

Paul Boyton, in his trip down tho
Missouri, has run across curious mat
rimonial custom that the Government
should look into. One plight he was
entertained by rancher named George
Minco. A comely squaw presided over
his household, and three pretty half
breed children called him father. To
his guest he confessed the fact that he
had bought this woman ut Sliding Rock
Agency for horse. He purchased her
as q substitute for his Indian wife,
whom he had bought several years ago.
married. overworked and maltrcated
until she had run away. The squaw is
kept hard at work. and the husband OF
master does not allow her to sit at tho
same table with him and beats her
whenever he pleases. What Mince has
done is a common thing among his
neighbors. ''rhis system of female
slavery" says Boyton, lis much moro
extensive than the public generally
suppose. Scores of white men are ac-
cumulating wealth from the physical
labor of these poor women and their
children" Capt. Boyton says that o
few days ago a white woodchopper
bought a 12-year-old Indian girl for
$3.50 at the Berthold agency, and it was
action. As all half-breed Indian chill
dren are entitled to rations and cloth
ing from the Indian agencies. the inn
portance of this immoral slavery qucs-
ton as a mere matter of governmental
economy is self evident. This is q phase
of the Indian question which is kept in
the background. but it is fruitful
source Of evil and misery which needs
immediate attention. Buffalo COuy'-

Einlaging.


Writes q correspondent: 'The next
competition was between women. and
is called 'einlaging.' Strings are thrown
dow. about eleven feet from tho ground.
From the centre of each is suspended a
potato, tied in handkerchief, which
the women, blindfolded. are to try and
strike. The sport caused q great sem

The young men. holding one in each

the string was and set the prizes in the
window. This proceeding was repeat
ed, there being two other pairs of
prizes. The old women tried first.
Each stood about ten steps of from the
suspended potato. facing it. She was

wooden ladle, with which she was to

Whittier's Boyhood DaYs,

The Oxford (Pa.) Press prints the
following interesting letter from Mr..
John G. Whittier, written to young
girl in that town in response to an in
quiry as to how he spent his boyhood
days:
''AMEsBURY, Mass, 9th no., II, 1881
My Dear Young Friend: l think at

The I,;fa of garfiald.

The announcement that Mrs. Garfield
is to supervise the biography Of her late
husband, will of course give AN addi-
tional and unique interest to it. She
will not undertake to execute it herself,
but to superintend tho execution. II
one may trust the stories of the materi-
ais for it. it will bo very valuable as
we'll as interesting work. Large num-
bers of boxes are said to DO filled with
letters received by him during his po-
litical life. The letters arc all classi-
fed, briefed and arranged utter . sys-
tematic method. In addition to these
Mrs. Garfield has copies or drafts of
many Of his answers to them. as weu ~
large numbers of diaries kept and in
dexed. Some of these are Shorthand
notes, SO that It is difficult to imagine
circumstances more favorable for pro-
duction of biography and history OF
the times. 1t is not surprising to learn
that the publishers arc already compe-
ting for the opportunity Of publishing
it. Mrs. Garfelds sympathy With her
husband and all his plans. as well as
her intelligence and literary ability,
ought to result in a work moro inter-
estfng and quite as famous as Martins
Life Of the Prince Consort, of which
Martin was the nominal, Queen Vic
toria the real, author.

The Blood and the Brain.

The announcement some time since
that DR.. MaSso, IF Turin, had measured
the consumption Of blood by the brain

IrYing's Home.

Washington Irving's home of Sunny

he left 1t. The house is small. but snug
and commodious. and his study is q
very agreeable room with the morning
sun upon it. When he settled there
the situation was delightfully."- quiet and

the cottage is perched. involves consid-

worse, screaming of steam whistles.

the vital functions. promotes energy and

infuses new life and vigor throughout tho
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
case which arises from impurity OF the
blood need despair who will give AYERS
SARsAPARILLA a fair trial.
1t is folly to experiment with the numer-
GUS low-priced mixtures, OF cheap materials.
and without medicinal virtues, offered as
blOod-purifiers, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. AYERS SARsAPARILLA is a
medicine of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,

Physicians know its composition, and pre-

years, and has won the unqualified conf
dence of millions whom it has benefited.
