From The Nelo Yoyh Tribune.


Mrs. Catherine Love, Of No. 100 Baxter
street, WAS buried in Greenwood Cemetery
yesterday. Had she lived until July T.,
she would have been of the same age of
Mrs. Mary Murphy, who died a week be-
fore, l0l years old. Mrs. Murphy was
born in the south of Ireland, Mrs. Love in
the north. Mrs. Love came to this city in
1900, when she was "a years old. She was
a belle in her day. She had a fine form
and beautiful light-brOWn hair which, with
her merry blue eyes, placed her in great
demand with the beauX OF the day. Katie
was constantly at parties and in the skGt-
ing season she was particularly popular.
When she became old she used TO tell how
she skated on pond where now the lower
end Of Fourth avenue is. She WaamHr-
ried, but her husband died 10 years ago.
lie was then 81. Mrs. Love had a fine COM
pleXlOn, and this and her fine hair did not
desert her ut lob years. She had several
children, but they all passed away before
her. Two nieces were her next of kin.
One Of them said yesterday:
"Aunty was a wonderful woman. She
was always active and busy about the
house. Three years ago she became child
jsh and it was found necessary TO have
some one to take care of her property.
Did she leave muchY Oh, yes, she LETT
$4,000. Aunty was well all her life, even
within two days of her death. Her eye
sight remained good. Even in her coffin
she looked beautiful. Her hair and face
were as fair as a child's. Did she ever
take medicine? Well, she used to like to
have the doctor come around. She would
chat with him and he would leave his
medicines. When he was gone aunty
would let them take care Of themselves.
She never took drop Of N edicine, even in
her fatal illness. She simply dropped
away from old age"

HOBNELLsVILLE, N. Y, July 1.-Some
curious freaks Of Lightning and electric

Farmer Wiley stood on his porch looking
in the direction Of the cattle. Suddenly
there came binding flash Of lightning,

Wiley saw number Of his cattle fall 10

and found nineteen of the cattle dead.
The ligntnlng, after killing one OF the ami
mails, had lett three or four that had stood

another ON the other side Of them, and had
selected the nineteen from the group IN
that way. There were no marks on any

An Impending Crisis.

They were sitting on a settee languid-
ly, trying to appear unconscious of the
impending crisis. The conversation
had gone, like beginner on skates,
slowly and slowly around the objective
point, and collapse wassimminent. He
had said SO much to her of an admiring
kind that he felt he could not go home
without proposing to her, unless he
wished to show that the truth was not
in him. She had accepted his compli-
ments with the sincerity which is so ex-
asperating in a Irritation. There had
been pause. Her hand, loosely grasp
ing her fan, lay in simple beauty on the
rose-pink of her dress.

The Parrot and the Monkey Story.

A well-worn American anecdote de-
scribes the result of owning both par
rot and O monkey. When the owner of
the bird and the beast comes home one
day he finds the monkey decked with
red and green feathers, but he does
not find the parrot for long while. At
last the bird appears from an obscure
corner plucked bare save single tail
feather. He hops upon his perch with
such dignity as he can muster, and says,
with infinite pathos: "Oh, we have had
a hell of timep At first nothing could
seem more American than this, but my
friend, Mr.. Austin Dobson, has recent
ly drawn my attention to story essen
TALLY the same in Walpole's letters.
Yet another parrot story popular in
New York, where a well-known wit hap
pens to be notorious sufferer, is as lit

sufferer is supposed to ask the man
who offers the parrot for sale if it

Machinists and engineers often have
occasion to use mortar, and will value
the appended information: Good NOR
tar is solid silicate OF lime, that is,
the lime unites with the silica or sand
to form silicate of lime. In ancient
days those who had some conception OF
the way the two things united super
intended their mixing; but nowadays
anybody is supposed to know how to
make mortar, while nobody knows much
about it. Dry lime and sand laid to-
gether or mixed and kept dry thousand
years would not unite to form silicate
OF lime any more than acetic acid and
carbonate Of soda dry in a bottle would
effervesce. To make silicate of lime
Just as good as was made by the Romans,
all that rs necessary is to proceed in
diligently: Procure good caustic, fresh
burned lime, and if you find it all pow
der, air slaked, don't use it; use only
clear Jumps. Stake this Off possible in
covered vesseD, using only enough
water to cause the lime to form pow
der. To this while hot add clear sand
not dirt and loan, called sand, but
sand-and with the sand add enough
water to form paste. Then let it lie
where it will not become dry by evapor-
alton, if in cellar SO much the better
for as soon as you have mixed the sand
and lime as above, they begin to react
one on the other, and If not stopped by
being deprived of moisture will go on
reacting until silicate of lime (as hard
as silicate of lime ever was) is formed.
But if you take the so-called mortar
as soon as made, and lay bricks with it,
unless the bricks are thoroughly wet you
stop the formation of lime, ana might
as we'll lay your bricks in mud Lime
and sand, after being mixed, might lie
two years with advantage, and for GER
tain uses. such as boiler setting, or
where the whole structure of brick and
mortar is To be dried, the mortar ought
to be mixed for one year before use, and
two would be better; but for house
building, if the bricks are SO wetted as
not to rob the mortar of its moisture as
soon as used, mortar that has been
mixed q month will form good solid
silicate of lime among the bricks it is
laid within ten years, and will be still
harder in hundred years. The prac-
tice of mixing mortar in the streets and
using it at once is as foolish as it is ig-
norant, and would be no improvement.
Silicate of lime is made only by the
slow action of caustic lime and sand,
one on the other, under the influence
of moisture. Dry they never will unite,
and mixing mortar as now mixed and
using it at once, so as to dry it out and
stop the formation that the mixing
induced, ~ wrong. -4mericGn Guilt

From the Spanish system of local
government the Californians derived
that ubiquitous and arbitrary officer of
Justice, who had general authority to
secure good order, and usually carried
his Office in his hat Studying his
multifarious functions, we discover with
admiration, not unmixed with awe, that
one and the same person was often SUI
preme Judge. clerk of court, town con-
stable, sheriff, recorder, treasurer, JUS
tice of the peace, land officer, govern
ment agent in land deliveries, superin-
tendent of roads, town board of health,
boar of school trustees, arbitrator in
petty disputes, general advisory board
for young and old. and even, near the
coast, Judge in admiralty to pronounce
upon all marine cases. One and the
same room was often the police court,
probate court, civil court, criminal
court. court of equity, court of appeal,
land office, council hall, and concilia-
ton court; it was also bedroom, dining
room, kitchen, library, and drawing
room of the busy, potent, and ubiquit-
GUS alcalde. Strangest fact of all In
this unique combination, the lordly
alcalde palace which sheltered such an
army of officials was probably, in the
mines at least, an edifice of canvas,
with an empty nail-keg for chimney
top. In the pueblos of the coast, the
alcalde assembled himself in some old
Mexican house, under yellow roofing
tiles nodded years before by serfs of
the mission, and beside priest-planted
gardens Of olive aud orange. One
American alcalde of the transition Pc
riod lived and held court in house of
zinc, whose outside measurements were
less than twelve feet in length and
breadth. The law in which these men
dealt was as concentrated and free from
waste and surplus as were the houses
in which they dwelt."

A Million BuriaIs in Seven Acres.

DR.. Beugless, before the Nineteenth
Century Club, describing the cemetery
of Kensal Green, in London, where
Leigh Hunt, Thackeray, and others
famous in English history were said
to be buried, said that seven acres of
the cemetery were set apart for the
burial OF London's poor. The direct
ors of the cemetery, in country which
laid more stress on burial than any
other in the world, said that there were
in the seven acres 1873, 500 graves.
Each grave held ten collins, making the
total of !, 1850 bodies of poor people
buried there, 1t was figured that by
burying over the same ground once
every ten years the seven acres would
last indefinitely. This gave % feet of
surface space to each body for one day
only.

The JOhn-Rabbit.

Soon after the open-eyed pilgrim has
crossed the hmpid Missouri, he begins
to notice pale streaks athwart the land
scape, which he learns ut last are jack
rabbits in motion with their brief yet
genial tails up like o startled steer in
the sweet-corn.
The jack rabbit is not bird of prey.
He does not attack man, unless wound
ed, when he becomes ferocious and bad.
Do not try to go near the female jack
rabbit when she is on her nest, or she
may pounce upon you and injure you.
When a jack-rabbit sees you, he at
first seems surprised and annoyed; then
he makes few awkward attempts to
cord up interesting space between
yourself and him. This leads you on,
for you feel sure that you can put some
salt on his tale in a little while, and
take him home for the children. A
great many men have ATTEMPTED to salt
the tail of the jackrabbit, and yet it is
surprising to know how many of these
animals are roaming over the plains,
whose tails still remain unsalted.
The jack-rabbit is noted for his stimuli
taneous and abrupt movements. He is
also very sensitive. If yon speak a
harsh word to a jackrabbit he will
leave that territory; and i have known
jack-rabbit, who was insulted at 2 p. IN.
on Thanksgiving day, to get mad AID
leave the United States before shutdown.
These animals are not carnivorous,
neither are they indigenous. They
are herbivorous, destebrated and alb
normally whence. You see q john
rabbit engaged in thought and you
make the statement "Scatl" in loud
and discordant tone of voice, and he
will overtake streak of lightning in
his attempts to get into Canada.
Chasing the jack-rabbit with the
broncho and the hound is great sport
The hound ehases the rabbit and the
human being chases the hound, mounted
on sure footed broncho. Now and then
the broncho sticks his leg down into n
prairie dog hole and throws the hunter
over his head. l knew q young man
once who was passionately fond of
hunting the iack-rabbit in this manner.
He became a perfect slave to the habit
ut last. Every spring he would take
the same broncho-steed and the same
high-priced hound and go out to hunt
the same jack-rabbit. ne would gen.
orally break his collar bone in about
the same place and the same physician
would set it for him.
This thing could not last forever,
though Atlast the jackrabbit died of
old age and inactivity. J. Rabbit can
