The Cats Nine LIVES.

Of the cat it is commonly said that it
has nine lives. By this saying nothing
very definite is meant beyond the opin-
ion that under various kinds of death
the cat lives much longer than other
animals that have 10 I've Killed by yio-
lent means. When any question is
asked of the police or of other persons
who have to tako tho lives OF lower
animals, they tell you. wishous exeep-
tioh, according 10 my experience. that
the cat is the most difficult to destroy
of all domestic animals, and that it en-
dures accidental blows and falls with
an impunity that is quito 4 distinguish

The general impression conveyed in
these views is strictly correct up To a
certain and well-marked degree. By
the lethal death, the value of the lilo
OF the cat is found to be, at tAc least,
three times the worth OF the dog In

exactest comparisons were made, tho

of the same ages being placed in u
lethal chamber, the cat may, witt per-

the dog The lethal chamber being
large enough to hold both the eat and

En- gliSh Journalism. j

A great London editor visited New
York last week and expressed surprise
at the methods of American Journal
ism. He was astonished at the fiippant
tone that pervades the American news
papers, and at the articles published
that could be construed as libellous.
why" said he, ''to show you how
careful we are in London, let me tell
you that nearly every reporter on the
Times is lawyer by profession, and if
a speech is made in court or in Par

man, the reporter would not dare to
use it until he has himself investigated
the facts and learned of their truth.

the speech"

The Girls and the Grabs.

They were very jolly crowd of half
dozen pretty young ladies, says the
Savannah Nclcs. They had spent the
day at Montgomery, fishing aud crab
bing, and had had lots of fun. All the
the party left the train at the Anderson
street depot TO take the street car A
brother of one of the young misses, a
lad of 16, carried the empty lunch
basket and the crustacea. The mid
day sun had kissed rather too ardently
their sweet faces, and twelve fair
cheeks reflected a ruddy glow. suggest
ing an application of sour cream st
night They were chatting and laugh
ing merrily all the way down Whitta-
ker street past the park extension.
just as the car was nearing CASTOR
street an unlucky jolt sent all the pas
sengers humping against each other.
The same moment the basket contain
ing the hard shells went spinning out
from under the seat, and the top cover
rolled of, strewing the floor with two
dozen swapping, business-ike crabs.
They started to hunt for water imme-
diately and hustled along pretty lively,
swapping viciously at six pair of dainty
shoes that were in the aisle. Six
piercing shrieks; but before the last
note glided out of the car door every
one OF those girls was standing upon
the seats. How they got there Is lost,
An expert with stop-watch could not
have timed them. They were high and
safe, graSping their skirts.

Two Singers.

One touched his facie Tyre TO please the ear
And win the buZZing piaudirs Of the town,
And sang a song that carrOed loud and clear,
And gained at once a aZing, brief renown.
Nor he. nor all that crowd behind, there saw
The ephemeral list of pleasant rbymers
dead
Their verse once deemed title without flaw
TO fame whose phantom radiance long had
fed.
Another sang his soul OFT to the stars
And the deep hearts of men. The few who
passed
Heard low, thoughtful strain behind the
bars,
As of some captive in prison cast.
And when that thrilling voice no more was
heard,
Him from his cell in funeral pomp they
bore;
Then all that he had sung and written stirred
The worlds great heart with thoughts un-
known before.

La st Words.

Dear hearts, whose love has been so sweet to
know,
That am looking backward as 90.
Am lingering while haste. and in this rain
Of tears of joy am mingled tears OF pain,-
Do not adorn with costly shrub. tree,
Or flowers, the little grave that shelters me.
Let the wild. wind-soWu seeds grow up un-
harmed,
And back and forth all Summer, unalSrmed,
Let all the tiny. busy creatures creep;
Let all the sweet grass its last years tangles
keep;
And wren, remembering me, you come some

And stand there, speak no praise but only
say,
How she loved us! 1t was for that she was
dear!
These are the only words that shall smile to
hear.

wealthy persons the humber sort being content to
weigh themselves against spices or grain. On the
