practical education, goes to one of these
colleges and pores for four years over
the dead languages. Latin, Greek and
Hebrew. and frequently graduates as

time as he is of cash. He has body to

As Mad as n Halter.

The most striking Gin two senses)
thing about the hatter's art. in old
times when felt hats were made by
hand. was the beating up of the felt.
Dipping the mass of wool and hair. from
which his fabric was to be formed, fire.
quently into hot water, the halter was
then wont to fly at it, as if in passion,
and give it a violent beating with two
sticks, one held in each hand. till it was
matted together into the felt. which, in
time. after numerous combings and
dressings and shearings. became the
stylish beaver worn by the men of fifty
years ago. The halter seemed to be
very mad at this object of his labor. and
.'mad as a halter needed no explana-
ion in those days.-BHrlington (U.)

A Singular Adoptioj


 In barrel in the basement of Merrill s cafe on Central Row is a cat and her three young kittens. The latter have not as yet got their eyes open and receive sustenance from their parent The other day the stew ard of the establishment went into the cellar and while there put his hand into the barrel, when suddenly full grown rat jumped out A watch had been kept and the rat has been seen on number of occasions lying in the barrel among the kittens and depriving them of their full quota of sustenance. One of the employees of the cafe yesterday caught the rat by the tail and drew him away from the cat The rodent twisted himself free, how ever, and escaped Aside from the unnatur- alness of the rats habit, not the least remark able thing aboutssthe instance is the change which has come over his foster mothers character. She has always been known as an inveterate and successful rat hunter, but she now appears to make no distinction be- tween the rat and her kittens. .-HoattosW p0of
