rasUeu"s Greatest Achievement.

PaSLeurS GreateSt AcnleVement.
The greatest single achievement of
Pasteur was his restoration OF the
silk worms in France TO their normal
health, after he had discovered and
treated successfully the disease which
he found them suffering from. The
wool-worm or sheep of France was
suffering, too, from fatal disease,
ANTHRAX, which nobody had yet ex-
pia...ed or found remedy against.
For quiet and practical benevolence,
no act of man in France for many
wears equals the work of Pasteur in
searching out and overcoming these
two pests of the industries by which
millions are supported, and the beau
ty of his achievement is that it seems
likely to hold good for all time, and to
be, as it has been, the indication for
other discoveries of even greater inn
portance. 1t is not likely that even
Pasteur himself will make many more,
for he is now 62 years old, and has
never fully recovered from the paraly-
sis which attacked him in 1868, at the
close of his labors in the silk-worm
regions of France. 1t is needless to
describe what he did in this enterprise,
for it has often been published and is
the most romantic episode in his ro-
mantle career He restored to its for
mer prosperity the cocoon industry
which had yielded more than 100000
900 francs "a year, but which the pep
perage" (pebrine) had reduced in
amount to less than 30,0O0,0 900 francs.
The yield had been 26,000, 600 kilO-
grams of cocoons in 1853, but in 1865
only 4,000 000.-so that the pecuniary
loss in II years amounted by that
time to $2j, 900, 900 year. No other
achievement of Pasteur's had such
immediate and beneficial pecuniary
results-for now the yearly income
has been restored, and not only in
France, but in other countries of the
silk lk-worm.-SprinQfeld Republican.

A Polite Cat.

A member of the British Geological
Society tells this story, SO it must be
true: Il once had a cat VINO always sat
up to the dinnertable with me, and
had his napkin around his neck, and
his plate and some fish. He used his
paw of course; but he was very par
ticurlar and behaved with extraor-
dinary decorum. When he had finished
his fish l sometimes gave him piece
of mine. One day he was not to be
found when the dinner-bell rang, SO
we began without him. Just as the
plates were put around for the eiatree,
puss came rushing up stairs and sprang
into his chair with two mice in his
mouth. Before he could be stopped, he
dropped mouse on to his own plate
and then one on to mine. He divided
his dinner with me, as / divided mine
with him."

Andrew JOhnsOn's Industry.

Andrew johnson has had few equals
in industry in the white house. He
rose at 6, and until breakfast, which
was served at 7:30, looked over the
newspapers. Immediately after break
fast he went to the executive apart
ments, and commenced the labor of
the day. First, there were bundles of
letters to be read and the replies die
tated to tho secretaries. Applications
for appointments, promotions, dis
charges from the army and navy,
political advice, petitions for executive
clemency, and innumerable other sub
jects were disposed of; but before half
completed, the visitors commenced TO
flock into the anteerooms and thrust
their cards upon him. Pardon-seekers
swarmed on every hand. Former
owners of confiscated property paced
up and down before the door OF the
presidents room, AID females w''
describable effrontery, iusif
immediate admittance.
