I.assOing A Wild Cat.

A writer thus describes the novel fun
of lassoing a wild cat: "While talking
to my companion, Drake, who was on
his horse and had his lasso on his saddle,
tremendous wild cat, fully four feet
long, Jumped up in front of us and
started for the brush. But the rowels
were already in the fianks of brakes
horse, and at break. neck speed, the lar
lat curv1ng its graceful coil above mis-
head, went pursuer and pursued When
within twenty-five feet of his catship,
the lariat was thrown, and, encircling
like the weird chain of a magician, land.

ihe Mo aern Red Riding Hood.

The subject of this sketch was
ciever little girl, who derived her odd
name from wearing or her head the
the sleeve OF her fathers old red flannel
SHIRT. She was an Independent little
piece, and when asked why her mother
didn't buy her new bonnet, said she
would ''lusta leave wore what she had
oa." When one of the ueighbors' chill
dren sneeringly said ''Your pa gets
drunk. Little Red Riding Hood respor.
ded ; "Your pa would, too, but he can't
afford 1t > and when the next-door boy
ill-naturedly said ''Your mother takes
IN washing, " Little Red Riding Hood
answered. She don't take in much
when your mother gets the first whack
at the line"
1t will be seen from these Incidents
in her life that though little read. she
was well posted, and Ihe confidence
with which her mother dispatched her
to carry cod fish balls down into Stoors
township to her sick grandmother is
easily understood.
Holding the lead dime, which her
mother had given her for her car fare.
tightly in her hand, Little Red Riding
Hood started for street-car, and hay
ing q few minutes to wait, improved
the opportunity by setting up a howl
that attracted the attention Of benevo-
lent old gentleman, TO whom she ex-
planned her cause for grief. She was
going she said, to her poor, sick grand
mother. and had been put Oft car be-
cause her dime was q counterfeit. The
gentleman gave her a quarter and put
her on the next car. Tie conductor in
due time called on Little Red Riding
Hood for fare, when she produced her
lead dime. "This is counterfeit" said
the conductor whereat Riding Hood
fell to sobbing as if her heart would
break, the conductor passed her, and
an old lady gave her II dime and
boy shared some gingerbread with her.
Arrived at her grandmother house.
Little Red Riding Hood sat down and
ate the eQAfsh balls. then she bought
ome, receiving from him sixteen cents IL,
change, after which she proceeded to
her grandmother's and staid with her
for three weeks.
In contrasting this story with the
original Little Red Riding Hood, the
reader should bear in mind the disa,1-
vantage our heroine laNored under in
being her own wolf, Tolc which she
sustained with signal ability. There
does not appear to be anything more to
add except that the town is full of our
kind OF Little Red Riding Hoods.

OK tent Of her possible good fortune, fol
fear of disappointment.
So on returning to her, the young
lady only said:
MY mother thinks this may be
something VIC have seen advertised fol
in that square, SO will go with you to
the house mentioned.s
THANK ye kindly, Miss.
''The footmen in them grand houses
wouldn't look at the likes o me.
''They'd just slam the door In my face,
if [ made so bold MS to ring.
AS she tripped along, the young gov
eyness's heart beat high at the prospect
of what might be the happy result oi
her errand.
No more shaving for poor Mary; good
food for Jim; an airy lodging at the sea-
side. where he would soon recover hls
strength: clothes and furniture redeem
ed from pawn; and after an interval OIL
rest and ease-sorely needed after their
sufferings-her humble friends restor'
ed to their old life of industry and COM
fort
1t is needless to dwell upon what fol-
lowed when Miss West was shown up
into the drawing-room, and displayed
before the enraptured eyes of its oscu-
pant the precious jewel whose loss had
caused her such tribulation.
AS for poor Mary, it was some time
before she could realize her good for
tune, or take in the bewildering tidngs
of the wealth that had so providentially
come to her and them.
And Jim, what news for him.
There was healing in the very though
of such prosperity.
So it came to pass that III the two
homes, clouded so lately with trouble
aud anxiety, peace of mind was restor-
ed.
Heaviness had entered for a night-a
long, weary night in one case-but Joy
had come to both in the morning.

Nothing But A Boil.

Now that Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks
has really recovered from his attack of
so-called "senile gangrene," story has
come out which is decidedly at the ex-
pense of his physicians. On the very
day, the tale runs, to which the medical
phrophets in attendance had limited his
life, blunt old granger-aIso doctor
after fashion-called to pay him fare
well visit. After pathetic interview
the country practitioner thought he
would take look at the gangrene"
which was about to terminate his illus
trious friends life. He did SO; stared
at it open-mouthed for moment; and
then with a derisive grunt and an
indignant, humping oath. roared out:
/" Nothing but boilI' Surely enough,
Mr.. Hendericks was very soon rushing
along the high road to recovery, and
the able physicians who attended him
are keeping moderately quiet.

The MaelstrOm AS It Is.

Nearly midway IN London strait, a huge,
naked rock, which might fairly be called
an island, lifts itself above the waters.
breastlng the conflicting currents caused by
the winds and tides. Between this rock
and the cape on Muskong IS the famous
Maelstrom, which fertile imaginations have
clothed with many terrors. Its geograph-
lcal position is such as to expose it to fierce
tidal currents, and, when they are assisted
by high westerly WINDS, they are, no doubt,
terrific. The bottom of the strait is strewn
with immense bOulders, which are so ar
ranged as to give the current spiral mo-
ton, directed toward the isolated rock
from the northern side, which is much in
creased in times Of high tides or storms,
when it whirls quite around the island
rock. Then it is that 1t becomes really
Itficult for boats and vessels without
steam power to keep clear of the rocks
against which the waywarG currents would
dash them. While there are at times vast
and powerful eddies, which give objects
aoatlng upon them fearful spiral motion,
there is nothing ike vortex produced by
subterranean discharge of the water,
although the tumbling and boiling char
acter of the spiral currents may submerge
temporarily objects drifting on the surface.
No doubt In the course of time the action
of the water has tended to level down the
bed of rocks, some of which, We may
presume, showed themselves above the
surface. This may have made the Mael.
strom much more terrific than it is now,
and better justified the ancient fable. As
it Is, in ordinary times and in favorable
weather. the fishermen do not hesitate to
seek for fares throughout these waters,
which to strangers are suggestive OF the
most terrific dangers.

Charms Against the Evil Eye.

The supposed liability of the innocent
multitude to the malevolence of the evil
eye caused the superstitious to have
recourse to many charms, incantations.
and ceremonies to avert ill-conssquences
and render the poisoned glance innocu-
Gus; among which, as just recorded,
prayer and the use of saliva were con-
spicuous. The wearing of coral
brooches, beads, and earrings is still

evil eye. SIN Scotland" says Mr..
Graham Dalzell, in his addenda, "a
red thread tied about child's neck, or

In the Middle Ages an amulet, of

was worn in the bosom as certain

Of the elder tree, affixed to cow-houses
and stables, was supposed to protect
the cattle from all possible harm. A
branch of the rowan tree was also in
great favor, and to hold up but branch
or twig in the presence OF an eye-biter
was sufficient to render her deadliest
wishes OF no avail. A four-leaved

that every evil genius is baniAhed.
The election of saliva was also consld
cred charm of peculiar efficacy.
Pliny speaks of it as a certain anudote
~ ---------sa--. a preSerVa-
tive from contagion, and in pugiIistic
encounters as certain to agerava.s. s,.;s s,,s

Greek mother, as if commemorating
spits in her bosom to repel fascinating
glances directed toward herself, and,
dreading the gaze of the sterile on her
child, spits in it's face" But the most
common of all the charms ia use against
the eyil eye is that very vulgar gesture
of applying the thumb to the moose,
stretching out the fingers, and "twid-
ding" them with rapid motion for
few seconds, commonly practiced by
London street boys, without the slight
est knowledge Of its origin or meaning,
and known in slang parlance as "talling
sight" The Slang Dictionary says
that ''to take sight" is vulgar action
employed by boys to denote incredu-
hty or contempt for authority; but the
real meaning in ancient times, forgotten
and wholly unsuspected in our own,
was to show contempt and defiance OF
the Vaccinations of witchcraft, and to
render the evil eye powerless. This is
the action that so offends the good
natured Pho Mono, not for itself, but as
q manifestation of the public opinion,
that he possesses, independently of his
will, q power that he would be the last
to exercise designedly. This vulgar
sign, modern as it looks, is as old az
Egyptian civilization, and was known.

gar inhabitants Of those ancient cities.
