The Tale OF San Francisco Cat.

In tho STORE of Castle Brothers. on
Front street, was n cat. This cat is
death on rats and such small deer, and
is, therefore, treated with distinguished
consideration by the proprietors and
their employees. Whom the cat camo
into tho Office ono morning with q yerv
melancholy look on her face, and
mournfully cried as if in dcop distress,
the human brotherhood were much dis.
turbcd. Tho bookkeepor determined
to follow her and sec what was the mat
ter, and she led him to where some
boxes were overturned. Upon lifting
them up he discovered three small kit
Is crushed beneath them and diving.
The cat saw them die, and after mourn-
ing their pntimely fate, she went about
hor usual aVocation of eliminating the
rodent. In n fow weeks she appeared
In the office looking more lachrvmoae
than .eVer,i and her plaintiVe cries aoain
aWoke tho echoes of the store. This
ilmo less time was wasted on blandisb-
ments, and the bookkeeper followed
hor again. She took him up stairs and
10 the iurthest corner of the store and
mounting somo extra boxes, drew his
attentlon by scratching and mewinp to
Cho lacI 'hat one empty box, at the bot
tom OF whici: was q lot of old, mating
was full of loose boards standing on

fort. Ho removed the boards and she
thanked him by rubbing herself against
him and purring. The next day thoro
were some soft, fat littlo kittens in her
box. If that cat didn't tell that book
keeper that her kittens were being
crushed, and afterwards the boards in
the box prevented her from having a
nice place for some moro kittens, and

How n Lady Should Mount.

The most graceful way for lady to
reach the saddle, and 'thc ono that is
taught i'll the best riding schools, SAYS
tho american UOrScU0ne0l3, is by the
assistance of gentleman. The riders
education will not bo complete until
she has learned this method Of mount
ing, which, when accomplished easily
and gracefully, is delightful to witness.
In 1T tho rider will haVo three distinct
points of support, namely, tho shoul-
der OF the gentleman, the united palms
OF his hands, and her hold upon the
pommcl. The stirrup having been
placed across the shield Of tho saddle
IN front Of the pommcls, tho lady,
holding the rcins and tho whip, with its
point down, in her right hand, (which
must rest upon the second pommcl, -
should stand with her right sido toward
the horses left, about four or five inch
cs from it, her left shoulder being
turned slightly back. Then, taking u
hrm hold upon the second pommcl
with her right hand, she should with
the left hand lift her riding-skirt
enough to enable her to place her left
loot fairly and Squarcly into the gentle
mans palms, which should be claspcd
firmly together. This done, she should
! drop the skirt, place her left hand upon
his right shoulder, bend her knee, and
give the word ''rcady" or 4 signal, and
at once spring from her right foot up
and little toward tho horse. Tho
gentleman at the same moment, must
raise his hands and move them toward
the horse. The lady must, when ris-
ing. press or bear lightly on his shoul-
der, and also keep Il firm hold on tho
second pommcl, which she must not
rclinquish until she is seated. Tho
gentleman should then remove tho STIR
rup from the front part Of tho saddle,
while the lady transfers the rcins to
her left hand, passes her right knco
over the second pOmmcl, and her left
over the THIRD. She will then be ready
to have her foot placed on the stirrup.

A Pussy Adopts q Rat.

"T guess that rat didn't like the way
he was treated" said Mr.. Hiram
Thomas, a Charleston (Mass.) provis-
ion dealer, referring to an orphan rat
which his charitably disposed cat had
adopted into her family, and which un-
gratefully deserted the foster mother
who had SO kindly taken it in "out of
the wet"
A few weeks since tho cat, n NAL
tese, which makes her home in Mr..
Thomas Office, had two wee kittens,
says the Boston Globe. Evidently
ashamed or dissatisfied Mt having so
small family, and feeling that she
could very easily manage and care for
n larger one, she began searching for
some little wanderor who needed tho
kindly attention of q mother. Not
finding one of her own species, and
happening to discover half-grown rat
whose forlorn condition wrought upon
her sympathy, she promptly gathered
him in, and installed him in her little
family. On the following morning
Mr. Thomas found the cat quietly
snoozing in her accustomed place in
the office, with her two kittens and
their foster brother snugly ensconced
by her side.
For several days" said Mr.. Thom-
as. "sho watched he adopted child just
as tonderly as she did her own off
spring, nursing him with them, and
dividing her care generously between
them.
The rat was evidently happy in his
neW-tound homo for time, and was
apparently not disturbed at seeing his
foster mother occasionally rush out
and slay other rats. Finally the ro-
straint of boing "tied to his mother 8
apron-strings became irksome to his
ratship, and he boldly essayed to play
truant. On missing him tho cat would
at once hunt him up, and for tho first
few lntractionS she lot him off with q
gentle reproof and an admonition that
little rats should stay at home, and
not be running at large, learning bad
tricks from older rats, who wickedly
steal ediblcs from the store and COM
NIT other depredations.
Again he ran away, and, when
caught. the cat, thinking it about time
to assert her maternal authority, gave
him " sound shaking up md cuilcd his
cars. This was more than rat nature
could endure quietly, so as soon as OPP
portunity offered tho youngstor made
good his escape, making up his mind
mat 1t was pretty smart cat that
could give him points on getting liv-
ing. Tho cat is now without n family,
as her two kittens were drowned after
the departure Of the rat.

Why a Kerosene Lamp Bursts.

Girls, as well as boys, need to UNDER
stand about kerosene explosions. A
great many fatal accidents happen
from trying to pour oil into lamp
while it is lighted. Most persons sup
pose it is tho kerosene itself that ex-
plodes, and that if they are very care
full to keep the oil from being touched
by the fire or the light there will be no
explosion. But that Is not so. II O
can or lamp is left about half full of
kerosene oil the oil will dry up, that Is,
'evaporate," little, and will form by
mingling in the air in tho upper part of
the can very explosive gas. You can
not sec this gas any moro than you can
SEQ air. But if IL disturbed and driven
out, and blaze reaches it, there will
bo q terrible explosion, although the
blaze did not touch the oil. There are
several other liquids used in houses
and workshops which will produce an
explosive vapor in this way. Benzine
is ono, burning fluid is another, and
naptha, alcohol, other and chloroform
may do tho samo thing. q
In New York shop lately there was
q can of bcnzno or gasoline on the
hoor A boy 16 years old lighted
cigarette and threw the burning match
on the floor close to the can. He did
not dream there was any danger, be-
cause tho liquid was locked up in the
can. But there was II great explosion,
and he was very badly hurt This
seems very mysterious. The proba-
blllty IS that tho can had been standing
thoro good while, and good deal Of
Vapor had formed, some of which had
leaked out around the stopper, and
in nrS ~ i,r II
over and around tho can, and this
cloud, when tho match struck it, OK
plodcd.
Suppose n girl tries to fill kerosene
lamp without at first cxtinguishinp the
blaze. Of course tho lamp is nearly
empty or she would not caro- to fill it.
This empty space is filled with a cloud
Of explosive vapor arising from tho oil
in the lamp. When she pushes tho
nozzle of the can into the lamp at the
top, and begins to pour, tho oil, run
ming into the lamp, fills tho omptv
spaces and pushes the cloud of explos-
i've vapor, and tho vapor is obliged to
pour over tho edges of the lamp into
the room outside. Of course it strikes
against the blazing wick which the girl
Is holding down by the side. The blaze
of the wick sets tho invisible cloud of
vapor on fire, and there is an explosion
which ignites tho oil and scatters ~ ~
over her clothes and over tho furniture
of the room. This is the way in which
n Kerosene lamp bursts. This same
thing may happen when girl pours
the oil over tho fire in the range, or
stove, If there Is n cloud of explosive
vapor in the upper part of tho can, or
II the stove is hot enough to vaporize
quickly some of the oil az it falls. Re-
member that it Is not the oilr but the
invisible vapor which cxploGes. Taking
care of the oil will not protect you'
There is no safety except In 'the rule:
"NcVcr pour oil on u lighted fire or
into lighted lamp. "-Ch,isttan Union.
