One of our well-known citizens is the
possessor Of cat, which is great pet in
che family. Indeed, it is doubtful if the
family could keep house without that
cat. A few evenings ago the cat came
into the house bringing mouse, no un-
common thing for the cat to do, as it Is
q good mouser. But the cat played
with the mouse for an hour and half,
then set it up by the wall and crept into
bed and went to sleep. The mouse,
though still alive and apparently unin-
jured, remained just where the cat put it
for so long that the family became inter
ested ia the mouse, and the gentleman
proceeded to stir itup. The little animal
started to run, went short distance and
returned to the very spot where the cat
had left it. Then the gentleman tried
TO entice the mouse away with bit OF
cheese. This succeeded only so far that
the mouse would leave its position, get
the cheese and return. This was tried
again and again, and always with the
same result-the mouse returned to its
former position as If under orders which
it dared not disObey. Later the cat
awoke and also the mouse.
Now the family are very much inter-
ested in the question: What did the
cat do to the mouse to make it so anxious
to remain just where the cat left it until
the former could look after itl Was it
animal magnetism. or was there some
subtle means of communication between
them, and the cat told the mouse to remain
there, and the mouse did as it was told,
except when interfered with by more
intelligent humanity 2''-F Providence Jour

A Marine Monster.

The whaling bark Alaska, which ar
rived in this port few days ago from
the Arctic ocean, brings a strange story
of the narrow escape from death of six
of her crew. The first officer, George
johnson, stated the circumstances to a
ChrOEacLe reporter, as follows: When
the vessel was forty-six miles south of
Alaska, an object was perceived in the
distance whose proportions and shape
indicated it to be monster sea lion. "A
boat was Immediately lowered and
placed in charge of First Officer John
son and five of the crew, named Andrew
Nelson, William Wilson, An
tone Nagai, George Marshfeld
and Hans Stuten. AS the distance
was being decreased between the boat
and the huge animal they became con-
vinced that it was the famed sea serpent.
When they came within few hundred
yards the monster made dash for the
boat, striking out its immense tail
against the craft. Several of the occu-
pants were precipitated into the water.
but were rescued with difficulty. Al
harpoon and lance were fred into the
body Of the beast and it disappeared be-
meath the surface Half an hour later it
reappeared, floating on the water, dead.
TWAS secured with ropes and towed
to the vessel and hoisted on the deck.
There the capture was seen to be vii
famous looking thing. It's head closely
resembled that Of an alligator. while the
body resembled that Of = lizard. It
measured thirty three feet in length. the
tail alone being nine feet long. The tail
was cut off and brought to this city and
is now on exhibition in waterfront
saloon. San Francisco Chronicle.

From the very earliest times, the
necessary act of disposing of dead
body has always been attended by cere-
monies Of some kind expressive of aftec-
ton and grief, and also of the popular
religious sentiment among those taking
part therein. Funeral rites among the
most primitive people always involved
extravagant expressions of grief, as tear
ing the hair, beating and sometimes cut
ting the body. Funeral feasts have pre-
vailed almost universally, from the most
barbarous ages down TO the present time.
These had their origin, no doubt, not
simply in desire to do honor to the
dead, but in a belief that the departed
spirit also took part in the good cheer.
The rude music which usually formed
a part of the funeral ceremony among
uncivilized races, was undoubtedly in
tended to ward off the evil spirits which
were supposed to be in the vicinity of a
corpse. Funeral dirges were adopted as
an expression of poignant grief. These
were an important part of funeral rites
among the Greeks. The Egyptians held
q tribunal over the dead. Any one was
allowed to bring to this tribunal accusa-
ton against the corpse, and
if it was shown that he had
lived an evil life burial was
refused. If no accusation was brought,
the relatives ceased lamenting, and pro-
nounced encomiums on the dead, en-
larging upon his many virtues. The
laudations of the dead, to which we may
trace the funeral sermon Of the present
day, probably originated with the Jews.
The Greeks had funeral orations in
which they gave full history, not only
of the deceased, but of all his ancestors.
The komans took this custom from the
Greeks. The funeral customs Of the
early Christians were partly adapted
from the Romans, and modified so as to
express the belief in resurrection. They
adapted the custom of vigils also, IN
which the survivors were expected to
ponder upon the shortness and uncer-
tainty of life and s'the narrow house ap-
pointed for all living" A service also
took place at the grave, the object of
which was originally to declare the be-
lief Of the survivors in the future rising
of the body This service was abolished
in Scotland at the Reformation, and a
service and exhortation in the church
substituted. A part of the services is
still performed at the grave by all using
the form of burial adopted by the Eng
lish Church or that of the Roman Cath
olics, but many Protestants omit it,

Red Pepper Baths.

Red pepper baths, that's the latest
fashionable wrinkle, and it takes like

of West Forty-eighth street to a New

similar ailments. In the hands of an
ordinarily intelligent person these baths
are quite simple, and when used with
discretion are really eficacious."
How are they applied7"
"The pepper is simply placed in hot
water in certain proportions, and the
parts of the body mostly affected are
thoroughly well rubbed with coarse
Turkish towel. People who suffer from
sluggish circulation have been greatly
benefited.

'Ts the remedy unpleasant"
THAT depends good deal upon the
temperature Of the patients body. Upon
some it has the effect of extreme irrita-
ton. The skin tingles for days after.
On others it produces frequent coughing.
These symptoms, however, soon pass
away as the patient becomes used to the
remedy. IN cases, however, where it
continues for an immoderate length of
time it. is better to discontinue them. /"

chiefy2"
Wealthy persons beyond middle age.
There is always certain kind of people
who may be said to live chiefly by doc
toring neutrality-suspicious. whose all
ments are mostly those of the imagina-
ton. They are too weak-minded to dis
cipline themselves, or too selfish, which
ever you like to call it, and prefer trying
some new remedy to striking at the
cause of their supposed ills. For in
stance: Instead of regulating their sys-
TENS upon daily scale of dieting, they
will entirely disregard their physicians
instructions and then blame him because
his treatment is not successful.
There are hundreds of just such people
In this world, and as they invariably try
every new-fangled remedy that comes
out-especially if it be fashionable
they become very profitable to people
who give them baths for their relief. .
