THE FRENCH SonDIER's CAT. lL During the Crimean war, little cat, reared in his mothers cottage, followed young French soldier when he left, his Ifntive village. The lads heart clung to this small, dumb member of his family, and he gave pussya seat on his knapsack by day on the march and corner of his couch at night. She took her meal on her masters knee, and was R general pet in the company. On the morning that his regiment Was, hrst. ordef- ed into action, the soldier bade his little cat farewell, and left Ter fh Sharge of sick comrade. He had marched about a mile from camp, when what was his sur prise to see Miss Pussy running beside him. He lifted her up of1sber usunl seat, and soon the. engagement commenced. Twice did the soldier fall, but the cat cluiIg fast hold. At last n severe wound Btretch- ed him bleeding on the field No sooner did pussy catch sight of the blood flowing from her master, than she seated herself upon his body, and began to lick his wound in the most assiduous manner. Thus she remained for some hours, till the surgeon came up to the young lad and had him carried off to the tent of the wounded. When he recover6d consciousness, his first question was, "Shall live3' TfYes, my good fellow" was the surgeons answer, ''thanks to your little cat for if she had not used her tongue so intelligenHy, you would have been too exhausted by the loss of blood to recover. You may be sure that pussy was well cared for, and, con trary to all regulations, she was allowed to accompany the young soldier to the hos pital, where she was fegalcd with the choicest morsels from his plate, and be- came very distinguished eharncter 'i lt ]. f------4--- 7i.'

of these requirements may indicate extra

Advantages Of Crying.

A French physician is out in long disser-
tation ON the advantages of groaning and
crying in general, and especially during
surgical operations. He contends that groan-
ing and crying are two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish; that those
patients who give way to their natural feel
irgs more speedily recover from accidents
and operations than those who suppose it
unworthy a man to betray such symptoms
of cowardice as either to groan or cry.
He tells of man who reduced his pulse
Sroln one hundred and twentysix to sixty
IN the course of few hours by giving full
vent to his emotions. If people are at all
unhappy about anything, let them go into
heir rooms and comfort themselves with a
.oud boo-hoo, and they will feel hundred
per cent. better afterward.
In accordall1e with the above, the crying

TIE Co-oPEaArlvE PLAN.

Probably few of the people arc aware
of abe extent to which the cooperative
plan has been successfully carried out in
Great Britain. 1t appears from report
recently made by Consul Lathrop, of
Bristol, to the secretary of state, that the
fetal trade transacted by the cooperative
societies there from 1852 to 1882 amount
cd to 81, 1886, 900, 600 I'm which profit oil
nearly $lO6,o0O,OO0 was earned and ai.
vidcd among the members. In the lat
ter year there were 1;oG4 cooperative
retail societies, OF which 1856 made effi-
cial reports. These Kaye q membership
of 65o,O45. and nearly all this number
being heads OF fam lies. 1t Is estimated
that considerably more than 2500,000 of
people are connected with the co-opcra>
tive movement. AS yet, however. its
benefits have been confined to the more
prosperous portion Of the working classes,
the poorer classes being too much en-
gagged in the constant struggle tor live>
Iihood 10 take interest in matters beyond
their daily bread.
In 1854 wholesale cooperation wss
successfully established. Such of the
retail stores as choose to unite were sup
piled by the wholesale establishment.
Fifty societies j"ined that year, with
membership OF 1880 and a capital Of
S4.SO0.. In seven years the membership
had increased to 49, 900 and the capital
to $4,000, besides loans amounting to
as much again. They began by dealing
IN Sfocd products only, but they soon
branched out in other directions, Their
dry goods sales in 1888: amounted to
over million. They became furniture
dealers, establish ID butter-buying agen-
cies in ireland, and are now the largest
importers OF Irish butter in England.
They own fleet of steamers to bring
over the products purchased by their
agents in Hamburg and c penhagen, and
their agent In New York in 1888 forward
ed them products to the value of over a
million. In 1879 they became bankers,
and in 1888 their business 10. this division
was $79,0oO,000. They are their own
underwriters and have established sue
cessful insurance company, have engaged
IN various manufactures, and one OF their
shoe factories can turn out million
pairs of shoes year Some OF their en-.
tcrprises have been failures, but the los.
ses have been more than compensated by
bringing the members in moro direct
communication with the producer and
lower freights.
The same system is firmly established
