ONE KIND OF CRANK.

young gentleman, son of one of the
most notable families in the country whose
great-grandfather started with peddler' $
pack upon his back, leaving millions to
his children, has two fancies One is cats
of the Maltese breed, the other is trousers
Being gentleman he wears trousers; if he
was a gent" he would wear pants:
youthful readers will please observe the
distinction. 1t CHANGED that | ran across
this young man in Newport not many years
ago, and on our way home in the Fall
River boat, while sitting in Captain Sim
mons office, he showed me Maltese kitten
with the most extraordinary tail | ever saw
on cat of any sort or age. On the back
of each ear was a polka dot. During a
somewhat discursive talk he informed me
that he had SO cats of the Maltese variety,
the oldest of which was twelve years of
age, and had been in his possession five
cats, with an attendant whose sole duty is
to feed, watch and protect them. In the
center is an iron CRATE, swinging on hinges,
SO as to rest level with the wall when not
for any reason he desires to separate the
sexes, this gate is used or if any of the
cats develop peculiarly pugnacious DISPOSE
ton he can by means of this gate corral
them, separating them from the others.
In one corner of the room is an iron cage,
in which he keeps any cats which may be
i'll, for any reason.
Well, he told me all about this on the
boat, and subsequently showed it to me
| looked at him with a perfect amazement.
He talks sensibly on other matters, and in
spite of his excessive admiration of his
family and its wealth, is reasonable good
fellow. While we were in Newport, saw
him ON several occasions, and couldn't fail
to notice that on each successive appear
anee he disclosed an entirely distinct suit
of clothes. After | became we'll enough
acquainted with him to refer to what
struck me as a feminine idiocy, he explain
ed that he had over 100 different suits, en-
bracing coat, waistcoat and trousers, and
that. in addition, he owned twenty-five or
| thirty pairs of trousers. which could be
worn with any of his coats, Now, there is
a man, % years old, with present fortune
of s25, 900, and the certainty of fortune
somewhere i'll the millions within the en-
suing fifteen years at the furthest whose
great ambitions in life are to own the fin
est procurable specimens of Maltese cats
and kittens, and to be considered in his set
the best and most elaborate man in town.

BLUM DERS.

On the edge of a small river in the coun-
ty of Cavan, in Ireland there is-or used
to be-a stone with the following inscrip-
ton cut upon it, no doubt intended for the
information of strangers travelling that
way:
IN. B.-When this stone is out of sight
it is not safe to ford the river"
But this is surpassed by the famous post
erected few years since by the surveyors
of the Kent roads, in England:
This is the bride path to Faversham.
If you can't read this, you had better keep
to the main road
We are also reminded of a debate which
took place in the Irish House of Commons
in 1895, ON the Leather Tax, in which the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John
Plunkett, observed, with great emphasis,
that i'll the prosecution of the present
war every man ought to give his last guinea
to protect the remainder.
Mr.. Vandaleur said, However that
might be the tax on leather would be Sc
verely felt 10y the barefooted peasantry Of
Ireland.
To which Sir B. Roche replied that ''thi,
could easily be remedied by making the
underleathers Of wood
An anecdote is also related of professor
whose pupils making too much noise felt
called upon to remind them of the fact
and said;
Gentlemen, if every one of you will dc
me the favor of remaining perfectly silent
for few minutes, we shall be better able
to distinguish who the individual is that i,
making the row." which is quite equal {,

There exists at the present time great
number of influential families in Dublin

FRETTIyG.

This morning | got up as cross as
bear. | felt as rough and stingy as a
chestnut burr. | was all out of sorts, and
it seemed to me it would be pleasure to
snap up anybody who spoke to me, as
short as | could
Most likely | would have done so and
set the whole household by the ears for the
rest of the day, but that have had such
moods before and learned by experience
the best way to manage them. "Now,
thought l, ''my best plan is not to in
fluence the whole family but to remain
neutral and let them influence me-" Ae-
cording1y, tried to control myself little
and await events.
Well the two elder children got up merry
and happy as crickets. Papa was in
pretty good humor, and the baby sat in
her high chair and displayed all her little
airs and graces and her newest funny little
capers, and we must all look and admire,
so by the time breakfast was over | was
laughing and smiling as the rest, and pass
ed pretty comfortable day after all.
And as was thinking of this at evening
| thought how easily a little fretting
might have upset the whole family, and
spoiled the day.
Now, fretting is both useless and un-
necessary; it does no good and great deal
of harm; yet it is almost a universal sin.
More or less we are given to it. We fret
over almost anything. In summer because
it is too hot, and in winter because it is too
cold; we fret when it rains because it is
wet, and when it does not rain because it is
dry; when we are sick or when any body
else is sick. In short, if anything doesn't
go Just to suit our particular whims and
fancies, we have just one grand refuge-to
fret over it.
am afraid fretting is much more COM
mon among women than among men. We
may as well own the truth, my fair sisters
if it isn't altogether pleasant. Perhaps it
is because the little worries, cares and vex-
ations of our daily life harass our sensitive
nerves more than the extended enterprises
which generally take the attention of men.
Great wants develop great resources but
the little wants and worries are hardly
provided for, and, like the snail which
strikes the saw, they make not much of a
mark, but they turn the edges terribly. |
think if we looked upon all the little
worries of the day as a great united worry,
self-control to meet it would be developed.
But as they generally come-only one or
two little things at time-they seem so
very little that We give way, and the
breach once made in the wall will soon
grow larger.-Baptit Weekly.

PLEA FOR FLOWER CULTURE.

Professor Mantogazza of Pavia, has
lately discovered that ozone is generated
in immense quantities to all plants and
flowers possessing green leaves of aroma
tic odors. So powerful is this great at
mospheric purifier that it is the belief of
chemists that whole districts can be re-
deemed from the deadly malaria which
infests them by simply covering them
with aromatic vegetation. The bearing
of this upon flower culture in our large
cities is also very important. Expert
ments have proved that the air of cities
contain less ozone than that of the sur
rounding country and thickly inhabited
parts of cities less than the parks and
open squares. Plants and flowers and
green trees can alone restore the balance
so that every little flower-pot, is not
merely thing of beauty while it lasts,
but has a direct and beneficial influence
upon the health of the neighborhood in
which it is found. Sci.

SELLING A DAUGHTER's BODY.

A highly respected physician is authority
for the following story of almost unbe-
lieyable depravity: An old man in this city
depends for support upon the work of his
daughter, his only child. He was not
worthy of that support, for he was slave
to the most hideous of harsh masters-the
whisky bottle. He made no effort to earn
an honest living for himself, although
able of limb and sound of mind but was an
almost constant dweller at whisky shops
and loafng corners. His daughter went
out to sew, and her father compelled her
every day to give him a quarter to buy
liquor. By her toll she secured a sewing
machine and did her sewing at home. She
did everything in her power to draw her
father out of the folds of the monster that,
with thousand arms, was dragging him
down. The neighbors reasoned with him
and scolded him. but to no avail.
Que day, when all the streets of Cleveland
We're covered with ice, the daughter slipped
and fell, near the public square. She was
picked up badly injured and carried to one
of the hospitals. Her fall was too much
for her frail system, weakened and RIM
down by unceasing toll poor food, cheer
less days and nights of sorrow.
For several days she tossed in fever,
and, although kindly cared for, she final
ly died The father missed her daily at
tendance for his rum, and pawned the
sewing machine to buy more liquor. The
poor dead girl was buried quietly, no one
going to the paupers graveyard, except
the undertaken and the father The ladies
who lived neighbours to the girl made
beautiful wreath to be put upon the
coffin. and gave it to the father to be
placed there i'll the grave. The wreath
he sold for liquor. At night, when the
rum cray ings came on strongest, the
old man secured horse and wagon.
