Observations on the Relative soci.biiity

Observations on the Relative socisbiiity
of Cats and Observation-Disclosures.
Louise Michel brought four cats with her
from Noumea to France. They were given
her when she arrived in New Caledonia by
convict who bad served her time and was re
turning to Europe. The youngest, Moustache,
Is now l6. and the eldest, Ninette, is 49, They
were with her at ST Lazare. The fourth
killed himself under circumstances honorable
to himself and mistress. The day she was re-
turning from London he was on the top Of
house When he saw her getting out Of a cab,
be, in trying TO jump from balcouy to bal
cony, fell into the street from the third story
and was 50 injured that he died in few
hours.
These cats at st Lazare were taught to live
on good terms with the rats that came every
morning in crowds to Louise's cell TO be fed.
I asked the Cheyenne what she thought OF
the rat She said that il was intelligent, in
capable Of attaching itself she thought, to
human being and more on the lookout for
benefits to come than for past ser
vices, but family affection was strong in its
heart. Young rats were not only kind but
respectful to their aged relations and, indeed,
to old rats in general. Mothers; directly they
had weanesl their little ones, not only brought

When a crust was thrown to them younger

comfortably. II a young rat was 81 ill-bred
as to help itself before all elderly one, the

Before the cats had been taught to live in

cording TO Louise Michel there was quite an
explosion Of sympathy among her four-footed
visitors ON. behalf Of the wounded one, and
she gained their confidence by letting it down
with a string from her window into the
court, after she had nursed it for about a
fortnight When she had been some time in
Jail the rats grew 50 dainty that they would
not eat plain bread unless she got it toasted
for them. The governor Of the prison. who
was most kind to her, and who is a naturalist
and un homme desprit, enjoyed her success
full attempts to bring cats and rats to live in
amity and to tame the latter. She could
never domesticate them. No sooner had She
fed them than they all climbed up the wall to
the window and passed out thereby TO return

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 31-One OF
the most interesting will cases ever tried
in New England closed here in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday morning, Judge
Bearesley on the bench. The case has
been before the court in this city for ovel
month. 1t came up here as an appeal
from probate in the matter of Caroline
]. WeltOn, of Waterbury, the wealthy and
eccentric young lady who climbed up
Longs Peak in Colorado two years ago
this month and was caught in a squall
and frozen to death. During the latter
years of her life Miss Welton was an in
innate friend of Henry Bergh. She was
an ardent admirer of Bergh and looked
upon him as one of the greatest reformers
of the age. When she made her
will in 1878 she bequeathed the bulk
of her handsome fortune, amount
ing to nearly $500, 900, to
Mr.. BeTgh for the use of the Society for
the PreveutiopOf Cruelty to Animals
Miss WeltOn only remembered her friends
to a very small extent. The will was so
manifestly out of proportion that some

possible. The viii! and the codicil there
TO were admitted to probable in Judge
Gillette's court in Waterbury, and the
case came up before Judge Beadesly and
Jury in the shape of an appeal from pro-
bate. The appeal was brought in the
name OF George r. WeltOn of Waterbury,
a son of George r. Welton, who was the
original applicant, but has since died,
and Mrs. Horace Johnson, cousin of the
deceased. The jury yesterday brought
IN a verdict in favor of Mr.. Bergh.

FARMERS CHILDREN.
A Suggestion Which Should De Take

A Suggestion Which Should De Talked
Over in Rural Communities.
A country-bred woman living in
large city gave lessons in cooking to
half dozen working girls. She found
them ignorant of the simplest details of
work, because they had never seen 1t
done. If they had grown up in country
homes she would have found them al
ready familiar with the theory of cook.
ing and only in need of practice.
Washington GLADDEN. believed that
country boys made the most successful
men, so ne sent letters TO a hundred
successful business men in all ranks of
oIty life, asking them where their boy
hood had been spent and how their
time, out of school hours. was used
The replies showed that most of them
were from country homes, where out
Of-schoOl duties trained their hands and
gave them habits of industry. In many
large cities there are now schools where
little girls can learn to cook, set
table neatly, sew, darn, mend,
sweep and dust, and their broth
ers are taught to use carpenters
tools, and to model in wood such things
as houses, fences and furniture, and as
their lessons advance, TO make things
of value and beauty, of suitable sizes
for use. The Children's Industrial Ex-
hibition, held in New York CITY. showed
the work from such schools (and some
work done out of schools) by children
all over the country. And there is q

cities as they busy themselves with these

gers; why can they not be helped to
learn still more? Are there not posi-
bilities for cooking, sewing and car.
pentering classes in the cOuntryP
A class of six or more little girls
might meet once a week under tho
guidance of a grown-up sister. auntie
or mother, and cook the meal they eat
together, each one bringing a share Of
uncoOked materials and doing a Bhare
of the work, the teacher watching and
directing all the work, but doing
none. Setting the table and
table manners would come IN for a
share of her care. A workshop for the
boys might be organized during the sea-
son when there is the least farm-work,
and some farmer. handy with tools,
could greatly benefit the boys of tho
neighborhood by giving them lessons in
simple work with the hammer, saws and
nails. Studying books is good; train
ing the hands to make the study practi-
cal is better.
The advantages of such classes would
be many; first of all, the children would
feel that good work is important, and it
would become interesting, and, instead
of hurrying through their out-of-school
duties in the most careless way, they
would find a pleasure in doing them
well. Then, in class, if only three or
four. the sense of companionship and
the efforts made by each one to work as
well as the rest would add a charm for
the children. Try something of this
kind and report the results. Alice

to the open space behind the post-office,
called Mail street, into Park Row under
the triumphal arch in front of the World
Office, and hack into Broadway This de-
tour was more in order to pay a compli-
ment to the enterprise of the World, in
raising the sum necessary for raising
Bartholdi's great work.
From Park Row the route was again
down Broadway to CourtlandU street and
Maiden Lane, where most of the mill
tary, turning to right or left, made their
way TO the river.
The head of the procession reached the
City Hall at noon. At the same time,
whenever the music of the bands ceased,
the chimes of Trinity Church could be
heard PLAYING National airs of France
and America.
President Cleveland, accompanied by
Secretary Bayard. drove to the reviewing
stand at Madison square. He was fol-
lowed by Secretaries Whitney, Villas and
Lamar and Colonel Lamont.
After leaving Broadway at Cortlandt
street and Maiden Lane, nearly all the
military and civic companies made their
way hOmeWard.
At this hour hour O:15 p. m.), the
procession is still vending its way past
the United Press Office, I87 Broadway,
having been over an hour IN progress.
All Inc vessels IN North river are GaIiV
decorated with flags, the Great Atlantic
liners being particularly noticeable as
they lay at their docks, one mass of color
aloit.
The naval parade, which forms another
marked feature of the day, was set for
one O'Clock. The sound of the prepa-
ratory gun, which should nave been fred
at :45 p. m, was not heard until one
O'Clock, and there was considerable delay
in getting the vessels which were to take
part into line. Twenty minutes later the
signal foT the start was given, and the
vessels moved slowly in double line from
Forty fifth street down North river, past
q feet of war vessels, toward Liberty
Island. THIS procession was in charge
Of Lieutenant-Co Commander Rich, and con-
sisted of two divisions. The first division
was headed by the United States coast
survey steamer Gedney, and consisted of
all the larger vessels. The second divi-
sions consisted of tugs and miscellane-
Gus craft of all descriptions. The ves-
sells presented a beautiful sight as they
steamed down the Hudson. On reaching
Liberty Island, they passed astern of the
man Of-War anchored below the island
then up between Them end the island, till
they came to abreast o. the statue head
on tide, where they remained at anchor
until the end of the ceremonies at that
point.

a PECULIAR CASE.

An Interesting Law Point Which Excites
the People of Arkansaw.
An appeal in a rather peculiar case
has just gone before the Supreme Court
of Arkansaw. John Bogworth, who for
many years lived in the village of Rip
vile, Washington County, Ark, came
to Little Rock some time ago and enter
ed into business. Recently he went
back to his native village having re-
placed his slouch hat for a rather high
crowned Derby. When the companions
of his youth saw him wearing the hat
they provided themselves with bean
shooters and began to shoot holes
through it. Finally, one buck-shot,
ranging trige too low, plowed n fur
row across the top of Johns head.
Bogworth had the fellow arraigned be

lis this the hat you woreP" the JUS
tice asked.
"Yes, sir"
s'And the buck-shot that made this
hole is the one that plowed you, eh?"
Eyes, your honor.
Tha Justice, after few moments re.
fection, said: cit is the opinion Of this
court that the plaintiff in this case laid
himself liable, and that if he had not
pulled his hat down 30 far. the buck
shot would have simply gone through
the hat without hitting him.
