Sir David BreMster,s Cat.

Margaret Marie Gordon, writing from Nice to the Home Chronicle, says: "NIy father, Sir David Brewster, had a strong dislike to cats; he said that he felt something like an electric shock when one entered the room. Living in an old mouse-ridden house, I was at last obliged to set up cat, but on the express condition that it never was to be seen in his study. was sitting with him one day. and the study door was ajar. To my dis may pussy pushed it open, and, with most assured air, walked right up to the philosopher, jumped upon his knee, put paw on one shoulder and paw upon the other, and then con- posedly kissed himi Utterly thunder struck at the creatures audacity, my father ended by being so delighted that he quite forgot to have an cleo trio shock. He took pussy into his closest affections, feeding and tending her as if she were child.
 "One morning, some years after ward, no pussy appeared at breakfast for cream and fish; no pussy at din ner, and, in fact, months passed on and still no pussy. We could hear nothing of our pet, and we were both inconsolable. About two years after, was again sitting with my father. when, strange to say, exactly the same set of circumstances happened. She was neither hungry, thirsty, dusty, nor footsore, and we never heard any thing of her intervening history. She resumed her place as household pet for many years, until she got into a diseased state from partaking too free ly, it was supposed, of the delicacy ot raw flesh, and in mercy she was oblig- ed to be shot. We both suffered SC much from this second loss that we never had another domestic pet"

The Chinese at Table.

Chinamen consider the stomach the source of intellectual life. and there fore the fattest man goes for the wisest one. They affect to believe that for eigners come to China to eat because they have not enough to eat at home. It is considered a mark of refined po- liteness to treat a guest or a visitor to meal at any time of the day. Only those Chinamen who have families take their meals at home; the rest eat at hotels. They usually have two substantial meals a day-one an hour after getting up in the morning, the other between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. The well-to-do class take three or four meals day. Often the father alone eats meat, while the rest of the family have to be satisfied with rice. Poor families usually get their meals from street vendors. The well-to-do ones employ cooks, the lat ter getting their degrees and diplomas like men of science. The Celestials use no tablecloths, napkins, knives, forks, spoons, dishes, plates or glass ware. Instead of napkins they use packages of thin soft paper, which also serve them for handkerchiefs. After using they throw them away. Each guest has saucer, pair of sticks, package of paper and minute cup with salt saucer. The Chinese women never dine with the men. Everybody smokes during the eating of formal dinner, and the dinner is crowned by story or legend narrated by some more or less known orator. No topic ot general interest is discussed at such dinners; but gastronomist who knows all about the preparing of food re. | ceiyes attention.

The Crndle Of the Wnshburns.

One of the relics in the Norlands H. brary at which l looked with unusual interest, writes the Lewiston Me. ] Journal "Rambler," was the Wash burn cradle-the cradle in which all of the seven Washburn brothers were rocked. It looks like picture l had seen of a cradle imported in the May flower. It is home made piece of furniture. constructed of pine-boards an inch thick, rudely dove-tailed to- gether. It has buggy top and solid pine rockers, shaped like half moons, with no twist or scrolls to decorate them, but numerous scars where chips apparently had been knocked out of them by the paternal cowhide boot. A crack had necessitated the mailing of a large cleat on the inside. The outside is painted a dark green tint The inside never was painted, but it Is well Drowned by age. Its associations make this one of the most remarkable cradles in existence Four Congress men rocked in 1t. Two ministers plenipotentiary to foreign countries have been lulled to sleep within its pine boards. It's soporlhc influence has been grateful to two governors It has held a secretary of state. whom I saw looking at it with smile, the other day. By the side of the cradle and equally venerated by the family, is a very old spinning wheel, once op- erated in the chimney corner of the Washburn homestead, by Martha Ben. jamin Washburn, the mother of the renowned seven sons.

The Quicksilver Supply.

Up to the present time the Roths- childs have controlled the quicksilver supply of the world, but the discovery of a new mine at Schuppiatena, near Belgrade, in Servia, will probably break up the monopoly. There are but few quicksilver mines in the world, the only two of any importance being To- cated severally in Spain and California. Both these mines are owned by the Rothschild family, and only limited amount is permitted to be put out every year, so as to prevent glut of the market. The yearly consumption of quicksilver is cut down to 100000 bot ties, the largest part of which comes from California, while Spain furnishes about 10000 bottles.

HaiIstones and Tornadnas.

Lieutenant Finley, an officer of the United States signal service. says: Every hailstorm would be tornado if it reached the ground. The atmos. pheric conditions producing hail are precisely similar to those generating tornado clouds. Prof King. the aero naut, announced that discovery after passing through hail cloud and not ing the phenomenon. Tornadoes have always been feature of the Mississip. pi and Missouri valleys and will con- tinue as long as the world lasts. Through the vast forests of Minnesota and Wisconsin tracks are visible where the tempest of wind hewed its clear cut patha century ago. Even the tra- ditions of Indians are full of accounts of the mighty storms which struck terror to the hearts of the aborigines and leveled their forests. The Signal Service at Washington is in constant receipt of letters from Canadians and Eastern people desirous of going West, inquiring the portions of country un- visited by tornadoes. In 1879 torna do insurance was not thought of, Last year over s28,O00,000 was writ ten"
 Speaking of hurricanes, Lieut.. Finley said that they were merely straight winds moving at velocity of between so and 150 miles an hour. The Texas mortimer" is cold trade wind, the Montana chinook" is warm current and the blizzard" a hurricane with particles of ice and snow in its teeth. Tornadoes are known as "wind falls" | in the West.

The Cnlprit Cadets.

A cadet has been writing his remin-. iscences of military life at West Point, for the New York Sun. He winds up with this good story:
 One beautiful June morning during examination days all the cadets, ex- cept those under fire from the acade- mic board, were in their quarters. Two of them occupy ing a room in the third division overlooking the plain, were engaged in discussion as to the probability of an inspection of quar- ters that morning, They finally agreed, as it was examination time, no inspection would take place, and accordingly blankets and pillows were thrown on the floor, the uncomforta- ble dress coats were cast aside, and uniform trousers soon followed suit. Pipes were lighted, and all necessary arrangements for the passing of hot morning comfortably were consum- mated. So busily were they engaged in conversation that they did not hear the tap of the inspecting officer on the doors of the rooms near their own. Suddenly sharp rap came upon the door, which opened to admit, not the company's regular inspecting officer, but the commandant of cadets him. self, accompanied by no less an august parsonage then Gen. Buell.. Both cadets from force of habit sprang to their feet and stood at at tention, only wishing that the floor might open and swallow them. One was dressed in a shirt and a single sock, in which costume he had one sock the better of his comrade.
 The pipes had been hurridly thrown under the clothes press, but the tell tale smoke was wreathing their heads in rings. Gen. Buell. was, at best, a solemn looking, taciturn man. but on this occasion he had hard work to pre- serve his dignity. The commandant was furious, and took pains to impress upon the General that one of the cul. prits had once been suspended from the Academy, and that the other wa: by no means an angel. The next day separate reports for smoking, not being in full dress during call to quar-. ters, and for having bedding on tho floor were made out in the command. ants name against each offender.

TncklInr n Devil Fish.


 Some years ago some devil fish ap- peared in a harbor where several schooners were lying, and the sailors, who were Swedes and had nev. CT seen one of the fish before, saw them playing around in the harbor, and thought 1t would be a good joke to spear one. So they took light skin and pair of old whale harpoons and ropes that belonged 10 schooner and started out, and were joined by the other boats. In short time one of the boats got alongside of sea-bat, and rouser it was, too. When they struck it you'd have thought the whole bottom had been hit, and a sec ond later that boat was rushing up the harbor at a rate she had never went before. It was blind lead, though, and the fish had to turn, and the skin was jerlSed around so quickly that she half filled, and one man was tumbled overheard.
 Up the channel they went. some yelling for the boat and others to cut the line as it was evident that she would i'll in a moment; but it happen cd that the only man who had knife had been dropped overheard, and as they couldn't get the line united, they had to let it go. They said afterward they were about to jump overheard and let everything go, when the fish changed it's course and headed right for one of the schooners They had to jump then, anyhow, and, as they went overheard, the fish diyed under the vessel, and the skif struck her side with crash, and was knocked all to pieces. The end plank, as they found out later, to which the line was made fast, went off with the fish. The men were picked up, and two days later the devil fish floated ashore It meas ured eighteen feet across, and was estimated to weigh ton. York Sun

A Bee SuperstitIOn.

Says an English exchange: The in. stance given of the carrying out at Geeston, in Rutland, of the supersti. tion that bees will not remain after a death in the house of their owner. es. pecially of the owner himself, unless an intimation be given to them of the fact, might be multiplied indefinitely, for it prevails over a considerable DOT. tion of England. In the case men. toned, the widow knocked at the bee. hives one after the other, repeating each time the formula, "IIe's gone. he's gone," and as the bees hummed in re- ply it was understood that they accept. ed the news and would stay. In Here fordshire it is considered sufficient to tie piece of crape to a stick set in front of the hives, and in other counties those or similar precautions are always observed by persons who would not lose their bees. It is difi. cult 10 account for this widespread be. lief, or to give any possible conjecture as to it's origin.
