Stuffed Kittens in Favor.

In Boston 4 lady has been quite ex-
tensively epgaued in preparing kittens
for tbs art maj ket Che is studying for
the medical profession, and while de.
irving profit from her present pursuit,
learns something from her work in pre-
pairing the little animals for stuffiDg.
The first stuffed kitten that she saw
was imported from Italy, and as an eI-
pertinent she esssyed the work. A
gentleman friend contrived q machine
which chokes sir kittens at once. and
he is so tender. he, ,rted that he turns
his bead during their dying struggles.
The lady prefers to leave this part of
the work TO others than herself. She
recently stated that single firm had
purchased from her 381 stuffed kittens,
and tnat she had prepared over 600 in
all for the market. At times kittens
of desirable size become so scarce that
it is difficult to fill orders without q
systematic canvass Of the cat popula-
ton of the section in which she lives.
The favorite colors are Maltese, gray,
and black and white, but ali colors ap-
pear to find admirers. 1t is curious
business for lady, but it pays, and her
work is appreciated by those who are
in search Of pretty novelties.

J. ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND, SATURDAY,


Thousands Of people receive all the
benefits from local paper, prosper, and
forget the editor whose heart and brain
have been devoted to the interests OF
building up the town or community in
which these Same people have met with
success. Many paper located in some
unheard Of town or county has been
the means of bringing the natural advan-
tages to public notice, built up the viii
lage into town, labored for the pros
perity of the county, assisted every one
else to front seat and then failed be-
cause short-sighted public no longer
see direct income from the money ex-
pended to support it. When railroads
were building, when public institutions
were wanted, the local press was kept
oiled and editors kept from starvation;
but now it is as popular to send to some
noted city for fashionable dress goods,
clothing, furniture, carpets, etc." The
above sound doctrine from the Bur-
lington Harkeye is verified by the fol-
lowing from the Western Homestead:
"A large portion of the people do moth
ing to support their local papers, and
yet reap tho benefit every day OF the
editors work. A man will say, 'Ad-
vertising does not pay in my
business. / have to keep my men on
the road, and get my customers by
going after them,' and yet the fact is
that the town in which he does business
would be unknown, the railroad over
which he ships his goods would be un-
heard OF, if it were not for the news
paper which he says does him no good.
The local paper is Of advantage to every
man in the community, and when man
refuses to contribute to support the
newspaper on thu ground that he
does not need it, he might as
we'll refuse to pay his ,axes for the
support of the courts and police force

law and does nos need the officers.
There are men who believe themselves
honest and pious, who are doing busi-
ness in every community, and every day
approrriating to their own use the
fruits OF other mems labors, by reaping
the benefit Of the newspaper without
contr, ,outing accent to its support, and
get they would be terribly shocked if
they should be charged with stealing
from their neighbors. But the princi-
pie is just the same, the only difference
is that the law can reach them in one
case, and III the other it cannot, but NOR
ally, it is just as dishonest to steal the
fruits of your neighbor's enterprise as it
is to steal his chickens. Too much
credit cannot be given the newspaper
for the work it has done and is still
doing for the benefit of this country"
