Love,s Labor Lost.


 About six weeks ago there wandered into the editorial rooms of the American a big gray feminine cat, with soulful eyes and very long striped tail. She was docile ami nal, and she soon became acclimated to her new surroundings much so, in fact, that no amount of coaxing can persuade her to leave her new abode. Her catship has waxed prosperous on spring poetry and mice during these six weeks. Not that she is fat, for she has that spiritual type of beauty which de- spises corpulence and preserves the slender and graceful proportions of the anatomy. There is also in the American office an editor whose sympathies are so big that they take in the world. One day last week this editor looked at the cat, and, with sympathizing pity, mistook her spirituel beauty for starva- tion. Straightway he went to his home and had sumptuous meal prepared, and, with loving kindness, brought it to the editorial rodms. He saw the cat and called, Pussy" Pussy" in tones that would have melted a heart of Baltimore county granite. Pussy answered and when the feast was spread pus- sy went to work like Jersey tramp on piece of fresh pumpkin pie. The meal was nearly finished and the sympathetic editor was enjoying the satisfaction of good deed nobly done when the office boy approached and said, ''That's not our cat" And it wasn't. It a one-eyed Thomas feline, from heaven only knows where, but the agil ity with which it avoided the editors boot leads to the suspicion that it was formerly the chief acrobat in travelling menagerie.

SENATOR BLAIRsS VICTORY.
 Senator H. w. Blair may have some faults his enemies say he is full of them-but he is evidently very shrewd politician, as even his enemies can now perceive. His very complete victory in securing reelection to the United States Senate establishes his rep utation as wirepuller, for he had some ex- cellent wirepullers to fight against. including the Hon. W. E. Chandler While they we're talking Blair was working, and the re- suit was his nomination on the first ballot
 The contest was an interesting one. Blair has been freely called crank and a vision. ary, but he made the most of his crankiness this time. It is said that every Grand Army post, temperance association, and, in partic- ular, a certain religious sect, have been 1a- boring for him. The women suffragists had female lawyer at Concord from Washing ton in his interest. The legislators from back towns answered every statement about his record with the remark, ''But MT. Blair is such a good man." The labor organizations were with him. None of his various bids for votes failed him or clashed with each other. The very things GnaU WOu1O nave WT0CReQ most men nave saved him. His canvass was not a costly one, but he won by personal arts. All the leading men in the State opposed him; some were candidates, and he beat them all.
 When MT. Chandler walked up to the fact that Blair was likely to beat him he pre- pared, it is said, charges against his politi- cal and business record, but he did not make them public. The correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, however, did. Blair is reported as saying that in a short time he will take them up and answer them publicly, especially with reference to the Shipherd Peruvian business and certain of his business transactions. He says in the Shipherd affair he has letters from many Senators which are interesting, and he has often been tempt ed to publish them to clear himself.
 Two years ago there was bolt against the nominee, but no bolt is expected this time. Blair will probably find plain sailing, and he doubtless thinks he deserves it.

The Sense of Boundary fin Dogs.


 have been much interested in the com munications which have appeared from time to time in the Spectator in reference to ''ani- nal intelligence" Recently my attention has been called to a somewhat striking illus tration of it in the case of my own dog and his canine neighbor next door. "Wallace" is an Irish stag-hound and is about year old. My neighbours dog is pointer and is considerably advanced in life. There is no hedge nor fence separating the two estates. The dividing line runs between two stone posts about foot in height and more than two hundred feet from each other. The dogs have never been friendly, the pointer having repeatedly driven ''Wallace" back over the boundary when he has caught him trespassing. Both dogs, even when going at full speed, stop the moment my dog has crossed the line. How does the pointer know where the line runs and how does Wallace" know when he is safely across ita

The Herb Doctor,s Paradise.

lSC LOUIS tioDe-DeInOcFaIJ
 Consul Wright, of Santos, Brazil, enc1os- es in letter to the State department notes upon the medicinal plants of that country. The compilation is the work of s. s. Schin- dler a natiye-born citizen of the United States, who is now in Brazil. From MT. schindler's notes it appears that the coun- try abounds in herbal remedies, and that alvelos, the new cancer cure, is but one of hundreds of plants possessing properties of value as yet almost unknown to materia med ica..
 Alvelos is shrub, Mir. Schindler writes, discovered by an eminent physician of Per ambuco to be specific for caDcerous ulcers. The juice is a powerful caustic. Applied to cancer it produces an irritating effect, which increases to strong inflammation, and at last cicatrization takes place. Mir. Schindler says that the alvelos treatment has proven successful in every case of cancer of the lips, tongae, nose and breasts where it has been tried.
 Baycuru Mir. Schindler says, is curious plant of Brazil which buries itself in the sand, number of leaves rising above seven inches long by two inches wide. The flow CTS resemble saxifrage. The whole plant is sometimes for days together covered by the
  one inch thick and of tortuous shape. Ex- formally it is chocolate brown, internally, flesh colored. It is unfailing remedy in all kinds of enlargements and giandular swellings.
 The juice of the fruit of the cajueiro tree is one of the most powerful blood purifiers known.
 decoction from the bark of the root of the calunga shrub is a remedy for dyspepsia and intermittent fevers.
 The leaves of the eamapa plant contain narcotic principle, and the juice of the root and fruit is found excellent for rheumatism and liver diseases.
 Boiled fruit of the arvore do pao tree makes powerful poultice for ulcers.
 The fruit of the cabaoinho has an adm1ra- ble effect upon dropsy.
 The most stubborn coughs yield to tea made from leaves of the ma1varisco shrubs.
 Pawpaw has been found to possess the property of destroying the false membranes of oroup and diphtheria.
 Papaine is another diphtheria cure.
 Poracary is sure antidote for bites of snakes.
 Sapucarsira bark makes decoction which seems to be natures remedy for kidney ail- ments.
 There are no less than three hundred and twelve plants or trees in Brazil which possess strong medicinal properties. Mr. Schindler's catalogue of them contains remedy for cry ill known to human flesh, and the wonder inspired in the reader is that people should ever die in that country

Republican grip" But it won't do for the
 Democrats to show any consideration for

 polygamy.
 The injustice of the mileage system as ap- piled to State legislators is well illustrated in Tennessee. The legislature of that State has recently been convened for a session of twenty days. The salary paid members is $4 per day, to which is added an allowance of sixteen cents for each mile travelled in go- ing to the capital at the opening of the ses- sion and returning home at it's end. The re- suit is that the representative chosen from the city of Nashville will be paid in all only $80, as he is entitled to no mileage, while members from the extreme eastern and west ern ends of the State will draw out, besides the ssO salary, $1OO or more above their actual travelling expenses. The representa- tive from Carter county, for instance, who comes about four hundred miles from the east, is entitled to $132 for mileage. In point of fact, he travels on 8 free pass, but if he paid the regular railroad fare both ways it would take less than $25 of the $132, and he would pocket over $207, as against the $S0 for the Nashville member.
 The last report of the director of public relief in Paris states that the total number of persons in receipt of public charity at the end of last year was 123, 1894, and that, though the figures do not show an increase of those of the last triennial census, the number of persons in receipt of relief was only 90, ,287 twenty years ago. and that the subsequent increase has been greater in pro portion than that of the population itself. These 123, ,234 paupers comprised AZ, ,627 families (menages), of whom only 10, 796 were Parisians by birth, 33, GA coming from the country and 3,187 from abroad. The, number of foreigners relieved is proportion ately very large, especially among the Bel gians and Germans. The Germans, thou gh not forming 20 per cent. of the total foreign number more than 40 per cent of the foreign paupers, and in one of the districts of Paris out of ,425 German resi- dents, 569 were in receipt of public relief. Every profession contributed it's contingent to the total of paupers, the majority of whom, however, were day laborers, shoe makers, carpenters, concierges, upholst erers, masons and tailors upon the male side, and charwomen, dressmakers, seamstresses, concierges and ragpickers on the female side.
