A HOSPITAL FOR INFIRM CATS.

Atlanta Constitution.
Lots of people speak of a hos
Ital for infrm cats with 4 sheer
that indicates a doubt rs TO the OK
istcncc of such an institution.
There arc IN New York two elder
ly ladies whose benevolent tcndcn-
cics have led them TO establish a
resort for disabled, sick and starry
ing cats. MISS Susan King is
president of the hospital. She res.
cues cats that are being stoned to
death, that are crippled, or that
are being torn by dogs. There arc
usually about ten cats IN the hos
pItal at time and about two hun.
bred are treated in the course of i
year. When cat is cured it Is
turned loose in the streets in the
hope that some charitable person
will take tho feline in and give it 4
homo. Sometimes Miss King is
followed along the street by cats
which recognize her and remember
her kindness.

1t is one of the simplest things
in the world to make a good cup
of coffee, and this can easily Scc
accomplished by applying a little
common sense. Ifyou put boiling
water on coffee and do not let it
boil, you have all the good quail
ties preserved. One reason dys-
peptlcs cannot drink coffee is be-
cause it is boiled. The style of
coffee pot is just a matter of fancy.
| have made as good coffee in an
old tomato can as have ever SIP
ped from the finest French coffee
urn. We should take lessons in
this matter from the Turks and
Arabians, who ground their coffee
to q fine powder. When the cot
fee is ground as fine as possible
put 1T in little bag Of unbleached
muslin, which should be tied tight
ly enough to prevent the escape OF
the grounds. If you use q cup OF
unground- COTE you can make over
a quart of.yery strong black coffee.
In making coffee many people
sacrifice favor for strength. Bit
ternesslcomes from boiling. When
boiling water is placed on q bag OF
ground coffee it should stand at
least three minutes before serving.

WHAT IS FARMING ?
Mckinney Texas, Journal

Mckinney Texas, Journal.
1t is something more than stay
ing on farm. 1t IS something
more than skimming the soil. 1t
is moro than selling hay or pota-
toes, and bulky crops unanimaliz-
ed. Farming is a business, pro-
fessIon, u practical and scientific
operation. The process of nature
must be understood, and worked
IN harmony with the chemistry of
the earth and air. The process of
nature must be understood, if not
in their technical terms and Ian
guago, in that sensible and under,
standing. that common sense way,
that their own advantage and eapa-
bilit1es may be turned to the best
account. The lawyer works by
Jaw and precedent, the physician
works by symptoms and indica-
tons, the merchant by snlcs and
o observation, the mechanic by
me. qsures and capacities. The
farmc,. must work by abby roles,
laws. obse~ ovation and experiment.
lie must be a skilled workman IN
the productive, operative and com
morcial circles in which his bust
ness lies and his sphere OF eIrcula-
LlOn extends.

Percy Smith, writing on the liza
bilitya of trees to be struck by
says "Tho suggestion
that oak trees struck by lightning
be cause they contain iron is both
erroneous and absurd. If oak did
contain iron it would in all proba-
bility increase its conducting pow
er and act as a preventive. If oak
contained an estimable quanti-
ty of that metal the wood would
turn black on exposure to the air
on account of the tannin which is
present. The biackepIng may be
seen surrounding the iron nails in
any oak fence. The contour OF
the ground, nature of the soil, and
the presence or absence Of water
have moro influence IN deciding
the locality of an electric discharge
than the height of tree. Add to
this the difference in conductabili.
ty between various woods and we
have at once an explanation of the
apparent popularity of tall trees
escaping unframed while shorter
trees are destroyed"

This promises to be a year of o-

be carefully guarded against
Abuse is not argument, and the
man that INDUCES in it shows his
own weakness. As far as the Ban
ncr is concerned, it will state opln-
ions plainly and will allow reason
able latitude to correspondents, re-
gardless of what party they belong
to, but abusive language that finds
its way TO our table will certainly
go to the waste basket. Let the
people in every nook and corner
OF the country rise up and make
their influence felt this year, but
lot them be conservative in the
use of language. All men cannot
think alike and we shuold not dis
pute the sincerity of our political
opponents. We believe the people
are as patriotic as they have ever
been in this country and that they
hold liberty of speech and liberty
of the press as sacred as ever.
These rights are the stones in the
