An Epidemic Among FeIimcs.

During the summer months, when
residents of Philadelphia are away
from the city and their houses are clos
ed, the cats are placed lit the care of
the wOmen's branch of the society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
which conducts home for animals. In
the month of July there were seventy
eight felines boarding at the sOciety's
quarters. Early in the month symp-
toms of illness were manifested by sew
eral of the cats, and in n short time
the entire household was afflicted. The
symptoms are identical with the cpl
demc which attacked horses in this
country several years ago. Running
at the eyes, ears and nose, dry, hack
ing cough and funeral at night are
the most common experiences of the
owners of the afflicted animals. The
agent of the society, in describing the
conduct of her charges during their
sickness, said : every summer we
take bOarders. Not the kind most peO-
pie do, but boarding CATS This year
we had seventy-eight and they all
caught the epizOOty. Poor things they
hadn't life enough when they were sick
to talk at night" When the patients
were cOnvalescent their hair would be-
come spotted in various parts of theiI
bodies, making them resemble leop-
ards, the black cats being especially
noticeable when in this condition, said
Mrs. West. at took about two weeks
for the disease to come to culmina-
tiOn, the eats either dying or taking a
turn for the better about that time
| We buried thirteen out of the seventy
eight, and many an aristocratic fire
side is left without its usual occupant
these cool nights"

COnkIing's Revenge.

The intimacy existing between ROs-
coe COnkling and w. II. Hurlburt,
editor of the World, is creating great
deal of comment in political circles in
this state. Mr.. COnkling and Mr.
Hurlburt returned from Healing
Springs, Va, ut which point they had
occupied the same room for over Il
fortnight. Politicians regard such an
intimacy as the result of Il secret agree
ment between Conkling and Jay Could,
which will go far towards shaping
events in New York state during the
present campaign. They say that
COnkling and Gould have formed an
alliance. both offensive and defensive,
which shall surprise the lOngest-headed
statesman and result in Il grand coup
Tetdt, where all the odds will favor
the COnkling- element. The
first fruits of this alliance are pointed
out in the political downfall of Gov
ernOr Cornell. When the latter de-
serted Conllling in the summer of 1881,
and aided greatly in the election of
Lapham and Miller to the United
States Senate, he imagined that he had
rid himself of a dangerous opponent to
his aspirations. The defeated eX-sena-
tor remained passive and quiet until
the union with Jay Gould and then he
speedily constructed coffin for the
governor. But for Conkling, Gould
would have never exposed Cornell on
the "blind pool" and now the new com
bination proposes to strike deeper. As
the World is Gould's personal organ,
the rumor that Conkling is directing
its policy is given increased strength
by his .jaunts with its editor. 1t would
not surprise the democrats if the
World throws a political tiip-top thi.

ent republican Organ.- New York

Jennie Collins, superintendent of
Bof1in's bower at Boston, says in her
twelfth annual report, that an alarm
ing increase in the number of young
women gone astray has been noticed
during the past two years. She as
cribes this deplOrable condition of
things to the low wages paid female
labor, combined with the increased
cost of living. Many housekeepers at
Boston, she says, are willing to pay
only 81 week for the girl who does
the work for Il whole family. Miss
Collins suggests that some able person
establish fund on which poor girls
can draw in case of sickness or extreme
necessity while learning IA profitable
trade

Only Few More Years.

There are only a few years left TO live,
Shall we waste them in idle strife
Shall we trample under our ruthless feet
Those beautiful blossoms and sweet

There are only few swift years-ah! let
No envious taunts be heard
Make life's fair pattern of rare design
And fill mp the measure with loves sweet wine,
But never an angry wOrdi

Did she catch her lovely floating hair.

Nature is the next study. DR.. Jen-
ner was a close observer. He was
the first man to find cut that the cnck.
90 never built nest, but always laid
her eggs in other BIRDS nests. Do the
boys know that when a horse eats
grass he crops back to him, but COW
eats outward from her, because she
has no front teeth in her upper jaw,
and has to gum it. The boys have
seen many white horse, but did they
ever see white colt? Do they know
how old the twig is that bears the
peaches, and how old the vine is that
has the grapes hung on it? Do they
know that hop vine winds with the
course Of the sun, but bean vine als
ways winds the other way? What
timber will bear the most weight;
what is the most elastic; what will
last l)ngest in water, and what out Of
water; what is the best time to cut
down trees for firewood: how man,
kinds of oaks can you count up that
grow in this region and what are they
specially good for; how does bird fly
without moving feather or tapping
a wing; how does snake climb tree
or brick wall; what is the difference
between deer's track and hog Is
track, and now often does bnck shed
his horns and what becomes of them;
which ought to be the largest, the
throat of chimney or the funnel, and
ought it to be wider at the top or
drawn in. Books are wonderful
help, but a man ought not to be salts
fed to go through life and be always
ON the borrow from other peoples
brains. He ought to find out some
things himself, and leave a little to
posterity in payment for all that he
has learned from others.

BITS OF WISDOM.

He who speaks sows; he who listens
reaps.
Good order is the foundation of all
good things.
True eloquence consists in saying
all that is proper and nothing more.
While learning adorns a man, let
us remember that truth ennobles him.
The virtue of prosperity is temper
ance; the virtue Of adversely is forti-
tude.
Judgment aud reason have been
Grand Jurymen since before Noah was
a sailor.
If you know how to spend less than
you get, you have the philosophers
stone.
Mems lives should be like the days;
growing more beautiful toward the
evening.
Economy is half the battle of life
it is not half SO hard to earn meney
as to spend it well.
A man too busy to take care OF his
health is like mechanic too busy to
take care of his tools.
To be criminal is to be afraid OF
the day because you see, and OF the
night because you do not.
What we are merely taught seldom
nourishes the mind like that which we
teach ourselves.
Knowledge is not what we read, but
what we hold; but we are judged oy
the use we make of it.
The fortunate circumstances OF our
life are generally found at last to be
fond of our t,en production.
True happil IS consists OF perfect
health, modera:s fortune and lie
free from effemin.e y and ignorance.
