The ancient Parrhasius and Zenxis
used TO think it better than human
praise, and the highest triumph OF ex-
cellence, to have the birds peck at their
pictured fruit, or dog wag his tail on
looking at their portrait of his master.
Perhaps II really requires greater skill
to deceive instinct than to deceive reason.
The following anecdote is related to IL
lustrate the perfection with which auto
matte toy animals are made TO initiate
the originals;
An immense cat, fat, sleek and a
great favorite, lived and roamed at will
from the top floor to the sub-cellar OF
one OF our business warehouse. He
knew very well what rat was like.
One day a fun-loving clerk bought toy
rat, with a spring inside, which he
wound up with a key as he would
watch. The cat was near by, and while
one clerk stroked and pctted him, an
other one put the toy on the floor few
feet of. Instantly as he took off the
weight Of his hand, the rat started on
run, and like a flash of light puss had
his paw on it.. While it was held down
the spring could not work; then puss
let it 90, as cats will when teasing thcil
poor frightened prey, when it ran away
again and puss after it.
The least change in the way of hold
ing, would send it off in a different
direction when free, but finally puss
thought it time to eat the rat, and
caught it in his mouth.
"Whir-r-r-r" -The un-rat-ly racket
made puss drop the horrible thing,
which fell on its back and kicked. With
eyes dilated and splitting out fright, he
looked for one second, and then, with
tail erect, fed for his life and has never
come back We know that when the
weight was lifted off the spring it must
run itself down; but puss, although she
knew better than we how TO catch and
eat real rat, could not understand the
mechanical. Little GEM.

They Didn't Sell Stoves.

Four or five weeks ago a woman with
an undecided look on her face entered
Detroit hardware store, threaded her
way for sixty feet among coal stoves of
every pattern, and timidly inquired;
do you keep stoves hereP'

Coal Stoves?'
Yes m"
She said she had been thinking OF
getting coal stove for the winter and
the clerk took her in hand He showed
her how the doors worked and how the
hampers were arranged, and the lucs
situated, and he talked of double drafts,
great savings increased cheerfulness,
reduction in price, and all that, and she
said she'd think it over and drop in
again.
In about three days the woman reap
peared and inquired Of the very same
clerk If they sold coal stoves He replied
that they did sell one now and then, and
he cleared his voice and began the usual
thirty.minute lecture on the Michigan,
Detroit and the Peninsular base-bu
ers, The beautiful nickel-plate, the place
for the tea-kettle, the ornamental legs --
the anticlinker shaker--all points were
touched upon and praised and explain

take one along under her arm just then,
but would call again She called again
that same week, heard the same Lecture
from the same clerk, and started for tue
bank to draw the money to pay for n

her for a week, Then she walked softly
in and innocently inquired

THE PROHIBITION TIDE.
Politicians at Loss to Know How
to Meet It..

WASHINGTON, August, 23.-The
rapid spread of the prohibitionmovc
ment and its aggrcssivcness confuse
and alarm politicians here. They do
not know what to make of it or how
to treat it. All popular movements
resting on moral and sentimental
grounds are objects Of annoyance tc
the practical politicians. The re-
ports from the west show that the
movement is assuming formidable
proportions, and is injecting large
districts of territory. That it will
play an important in determining the
results of the campaign in the com
ing elections is acknowledged, and
the movement is looked upon as ono
that will not eXpend its strength in
the immediate future.

A NOVEL DUEL.
Desperate Battle Between a lat
and a Snake.

Garter-snakes abound in fremont.
a gentleman who recently took a
house near One Hundred and Seventy
eighth street and Third avenue said yes

morning as was dressing looked out
Of the window aud saw the cat acting
oddly. She Was springing from side
to side and evidently trying at times to
avoid something and then to seize it.
| hurried into the garden and found
the Cat engaged in fight with a gar
ter-Snake. The reptile was 80 intent
on keeping its enemy before it, it's on
ly hope for life, that it did not see me,
but the cat noticed my approach,
though she lost none of her vigilance
i'll doing so. She is slnall animal, IA
capital mouser, but certainly inexperi-
enced us snake killer. She seemed at
first a little frightened, but seeing me
she gained courage aud her attacks up
on the snake becam9 feIcer and more
frequent.
1t was like sparring match. Eve
ry effort of the cat to seize tile snake
was foiled by the rapid movement Of
the reptile, which repeate dly struck
fiercely at its ssSailant, beating her
back, but apparently not iljuring her.
Finally the cat adopted curious tactics.
She walked roun d and round the snake,
forcing the latter, wit its read raised
high above the grass, to twist in one
direction in order to face her, until It's
body assumed spiral form. OF course
it could not continue tlis movement
indefinitely, I'd when it could 60 no
further and the cat still moved a
round it, the reptile, with lightning
like rapidity, twirled The other way.
For the inliuitessimal part of second
its eyes were not turned towards its
enemy; but it was enough. The cat
had been watching for the opportunity
thus offered, and, quick as it was the
snakes movement, her own was quick
er. Before ii could face her she had
seized it about four inches below the
head. In vain the snake writhed ard
coiled around her. 1t could not shake
off The cruel hold, which was only re-
IL nquisEed Wien tie reptiles head was
entirely severed from IFS body.
