Cats on Shipboard.

On board the Elbe we had grand
great yellow cat in the after part of the
ship-for cats have their own we'll de-
fined hor,es afloat as ashore, and resent
lsion within their boundaries from
feline rivals quite as conservatively as
their brethren who enjoy the blessing of
the land. Sandy then, reigned over the
saloon and quarterback and was the
most accomplished and gentlemanly cat
| ever was acquainted with. One morn
ing while we were lying in the Scheldt
abreast of Antwerp, Sandy was seated on
the rail, watching the disembarkmcnt of
the cargo and various operations of the
small craft which surrounded the steam
er, with that responsible air of general
superintendent which distinguished
him, when he suddenly caught sight of
rat in one of the lighters alongside.
Without Il moments hesitation he sprang
down upon the rail sheer into the lighters
cargo space, distance of nearly thirty
feet, perhaps more As may be expected,
he was nearly killed by the fall, and lay
for days almost insensible, but we nurscd
him around again with beef-tea and
brandy.
The other incident was horrible. /
had brought an old cat with me on join
ing certain rat-ridden ship, knowing
him to be good sporting animal; it was
not mine, but one had borrowed for the
voyage on hearing the vessels reputation
for natural history. She was fairly over
run with vermin from stem to stern, but
it appeared that there was an eXtraordi-
nary concentration of the ratty element
in the storerooms underneath the fore
peak. Nothing served to restrain their
depredatiOns or to diminish their num-
bers or audacity; it was scarcely safe to
venture down there, and the storekceper
was at his wits end to know how to pro-
tect the articles under his charge. At
length he asked me tC allow him to put Tim
down there at night, not so much in the
hope of destroying tha rats as of soaring
them away Tim was therefore con-
Quoted thither before the gratings were
put on, and left with his saucer of bread
and milk, his mat, and no lack of com
pany. In the morning nothing remained
of him but some gnawed bones and some
+ scraps of fur.-AU the Year Round.

A Small Boys Inquiry.

An illustration of the ridiculous and
annoying way in which church choir
will sometimes run together the words of
a hymn, is afforded by the remark of a
small boy in one of the front pews of a
large and CalasD fashionable church in
Boston. The hymn beginning,
"The consecratei cross I'd bear"
had just been sung and in the momentary
quiet which followed, the perplexed youth
turned to his father and asked in an
earnest whisper; Say, pa where do they

Many lady endowed by nature with pretty

as the sweetest OF iempers and faultless mental
qualities grows prematurely old, gray and wrinkled,
her form loses its perfect contour, the complexion
becomes sallow, the brightness leaves the eye, .
feeling OF languor takes the place Of the once
buoyant spirits, an irritable nervous fractousness
makes life a burden, things that once were triles
worry her till life becomes unbearable. All this
mon to women, which the innate modesty OF fem
mime nature prevents their making known, and Of
which the ignorance Of the medical profession pro-
vents a cure. Lady reader, pause and consider,
it's dsty you owe yourself, your family and your
God, that you should cure yourself of these
troubles and once more feel the glow Of perfect
health and spirits that nature intended for you.

humanity IT is hoped will never be repeated Our
Hawaiian sportsmen p who are introducing and
trying to popularizs this inhuman sport would
do we'll to ponder those indignant words. Why
destroy life or cruelty MAIN or wound helpless
bird when glass balls sprung from trap will give
all the practice, and be Just test of pre-
cisioni All honor to that royal lady, and true
gentlevoman, Of whom England is so justly proud
this inhuman sport has been tabooed in the best
English society. Fashion drops with blood when
she fills womens hats and covers their dresses with
the wings and feathers of dead birds. Every such
hat and dress stands for low taste, and wanton
shameful cruelty. OF course. the Ostrich feather,
and such like adornments are an exception. Os-
trich-farnling is as legitimate any other.
Third, there should be care taken TO teach the
principles OF kindly humanity. Much cruelty
comes from "Reminiscences and ignorance. The

up by the wind and carried like chat dis.

also taken up by the wind aud carried q

pieces. The house wthstood the storm, al.
though il was almost entirely unroofed, and
the inmates state that it shook like an
earthquake. Mr.. Charles Ruhf's house and
barn, situated on top of the mountain, were
stripped of their roofs, the Shingles and

were only pieces Of paper. The cloud that

A Timely suggestion to Parents.

One evening last week young man from
the neighborhoOd Of Mauch Chunk paid a
visit to his best girJ at her home. The
young people sat upon the wooden steps Of
the porch until after eleven o'clock when
the father of the girl lntimated that ii was
time for all christians to retire. The young
man Bub-.who is particularlya good young
mon-accepled the suggestion and attempt
ed 10 rise from his seat. But fate was
against him. A carpenter had spilled a
can of glue on the porch and the young
Lothario, who sat down upon it at eight
o'clock, found himself at eleven bound by
his trousers to the wooden step. He could
not rise, and time and place were unsuitable
for removal OF the rants. The drowsy
parent came to the rescue. He produced a
saw and cut off the portion Of the step upon
which Bob rested. Bob walked out through
the gate and down the road, "dancing
(mad) by the light Of the moon" and in
full view of the admlring girl who was "tO
loye, honor and obey him." with about two
feet Of porch dangling from his coat tails.
The stairs Of his boarding house were SO
narrow that do what he might his wooden
appeudoGe would persist in banging against
the wall or the banisters. The landlady
and boarders arose as to the sound of burg
lars. The whole position was grasped at
once. In the morning Bob said he had
pressing business at Phi adelphla and he
has never been seen again in the neighbor-
hood OF Mauch Chunk.
