The Most Super,or Cat

A literary friend of mine at Bath, says contributor to the London Stand. ard, had been often vastly amused at the interest with which her cat appear ed to view her proceedings at the writ ing-table. He would sometimes jump up beside her and lay his paw on hcI wrist. On one occasion, however, hs leaped on the table in front of her and watched her narrowly, and with such a preternaturally knowing glance in his bright eye, with his head held slightly on one side, that she was impelled to lay down her pen and look at him. What was her surprise and delight to see him walk deliberately to the ink. stand take pen in his mouth and, leap. ing to the floor, commence tracing characters with it on the carpet, for. tunately for which poor Timothy had forgotten the ink.
 Another day his mistress said to him in fun: "Oh Timothy, have lost but ton off my dress. 1 wish you would find it." The animal looked at her. walked out of the room and returned in flew minutes with the missing button in his mouth. Alas! poor Timothy! he has disappeared, and this is probably the only permanent record of his win. ning ways.

Fighting Sleep with Tea.

The practice of taking tea or coffee by students, in order to work at night, is downright madness, especially when preparing for an examination. More than half of the cases of breakdown, loss of memory, fainting, etc., which occur during severe examinations, and far more frequently than is commonly known, are due to this.
 frequently hear of promising stu dents who have thus failed; and, on in- quiry, have learned-in almost every instance-that tine victim has previous ly drugged himself with tea or coffee. Sleep is the rest of the brain; to rob the hard-worked brain of its necessary rest is cerebral suicide.
 My old friend, the late Thomas Wright, was victim of this terrible folly. He undertook the translation of the Life of Julius Cesar" by Napoleon III, and to do it in cruelty short time. He full filled his contract by sitting up several nights successively by the aid of strong tea or coffee q forgot which,. I saw him shortly afterward. In few weeks he had aged alarmingly, and become quite bald, his brain gave way and nev- CT recovered. There was but little diff ference between his age and mine, and but for this dreadful cerebral strain, rendered possible only by the alkaloid (for otherwise he would have fallen to sleep over his work and thereby saved his life), he might still be amusing and instructing thousand ofreaders by fresh volumes of popularized archaeological research.-I0pular Science Monthly for December.

Airing Beds.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the adyisability of airing beds thorough ly. To carelessness in this regard may be attributed the close offensive odors which frequently meet one, not alone in the homes of the poorer classes, but in the bedrooms of the high-priced hotels. It is not enough to turn down the cov- erings, only to draw them back half an hour later. The unsavory fact that the body actually loses weight during night slumber shows clearly that more vigorous methods of treatment than these are required to free the bed cover- ings of the exhalations from the sleeper. Counterpane, blankets, and sheets should be stripped from the bed, well shaken, and hung on two chairs to prevent their gathering dust by resting on the floor The mattress should be half turn ed and propped against the foot-board, so as to allow the free access of air to both sides. Pillows and bolsters should be beaten energetically. Then, even in the bitterest weather, the windows should be opened wide, if only for ten minutes, that the atmosphere of the apartment may be completely changed.
 Norris this enough. Two or three times winter, oftener in summer, the mattress should have half a days sun ming. The cotton-cloth mattress covers mentioned before do much towards pro- tecting the bedding from precipitation; but even with this thorough sweet ening" in the sunshine is occasionally essential. This course should not be followed with bolster or pillows. The heat of the sun acting upon the animal grease in the feathers produces an un- pleasant odor. The best method of freshening pillows is to lay them on the fresh turf in the shade. When this is out of the question let them be hung on the clothes-line.
 While the custom of keeping guest chamber always in readiness for chance visitors has its advantages, there are strong reasons against having the bed prepared until just before it is to be oc- cupied. There is a comfort about a newly-made bed that disappears from one left standing for weeks or even days. A dampness seems to gather about the sheets, mustincss about the blankets and bedding, that gives the oc cupant an unpleasant sensation that the couch has not been properly aired, and awakens fears of colds, rheumatism, and other feshly ills.
 A plentiful provision of extra covering should always be prepared for the guest room. Many visitor who dreads to hurt the feelings of hostess or is too little at home in house to ask for addi- tional blankets has shivered all night in a handsomely appointed chamber, or been reduced to piling his own gar ments upon the bed to secure the need ed heat. The silk or satin duvets stuffed with eider-down are at once the warmest and lightest of covers. But when these cannot be procured an ex' cellent substitute may be made of col ored cheese cloth. lined with cotton batting or French wool wadding. Very pretty are those with one side cardinal red, the other light blue, the stuffing be- tween being held in place by tufts of worsted to match. These are prefera- ble to the heavy alleged ''comfortables' sold in stores. Chicago Tribune.

1t Wasn't a Suicide.

About 1890 O'Clock this morning a
ringing report of pistol shot was heard
in the neighborhood of the Tribune
Office, and an excited individual Was
seen to rush frantically across the street
towards Peacock's saloon. A crowd I'M
mediately gathered, and above the din
could be heard the dulcet tones OF p. II.
Lannan, inquiring as 10 the cause of the
report. Investigation developed the
fact that the shot was caused by
young man named Tucker, who
recently assumed the duties Of "A
nightwatchman in the place OF
Mr.. Brady. 1t appears that
the youthful night watch was coming
out of Peacock's saloon, swinging his
cane, which struck against the hammer
of the pistol, which be had in his over
coat pocket. and discharged it, burning
a hole in his coat and frightening him
considerably. The wonder is that the
ball did not enter some part of his
person. Tucker is new hand st the
business. and is said 10 be young and
inexperienced. Fl

The KiIlIDg of Crawford.

CITY OF Mexico, April 2.-Presidenr
Diaz sent his message to Congress to-
day. He says, regarding the killing of
Captain Crawford by the Mexican
soldiers. that the Mexican force was
composed of volunteers from Chi
huahua, who naturally would not
believe that the Indians with Captain
Crawford were friends, for according
TO the treaty which permitted
the soldiers of either Republic to cross
the frontier in pursuit Of hostile Indians,
only regular troops were allowed to
cross. The President expresses a regret
at the occurrence.

OF the free ship bill. Referred.
Private business was dispensed with
yeas us. nays IL. and the House went
into committee of the whole on the
labor arbitration bill.
The amendments to the O'Neil bill
were all voted down, but the first section
of the bill was modified in several par
ticulars. The committee then passed on
10 the consideration of the second sec.
ton.
Mr.. Breckenridge. of Kentucky,
moved 10 strike out so much OF the sec
ton as gives the board of arbitration
power to administer oaths, subpoena
witnesses, etc.
Mr.. Lawler, Illinois, said that the op-
ponents of this bill had had three long
months to prepare something upon the
question, and had not done so. But
now they insulted the intelligence of
well-meaning men on lie committee of
labor, who had given it their attention.
Passing on to the consideration of the
strike on the Missouri Pacific, he de-
clared, that, without wishing TO become
communlstic in his utterances, ne was
free to say that if Jay Gould was hung

would be a blessing to the community
known as the United States. daughter
The action of Jay Gould might cost
hundreds and thousands of lives
throughout the Western States. The
death OF 4 man like this was nothing
compared with what might occur If the
difficulties were not settled in those
States. There was no sentimental basis
in the matter. 1t was justice to the
Workingmen. There was no harm in
this bill and the discussion of il had
a healthy effect upon the country. 1t
was an honest bill, and if there was
anything wrong with it, Congress
could repeal it at any time.

feated.
Mr.. Kelly of Pennsylvania offered an
amendment, appropriating $50, 900 for
the payment of the expenses OF the ar
bitration.

diana. an amendment was adopted,
providing that, in no case. shall any
witness be compelled to disclose the
secrets or produce the records of any
labor organization of which he may be
an officer or member. The second sec
ton of the bill was agreed to, with Ger
tain amendments recommended by the
committee on labor, and the third and
fourth sections were agreed TO without
change.
