The Most Superior Cat,

A literary friend of mine at Bath says contributor to the London Stand. ard, had been often vastly amused ai the interest with which her cat appear ed to view her proceedings at the writ. ing-table. He would sometimes ium, up beside her and lay his paw on her wrist. On ono occasion, however, ht leaped on the table in front of her aad 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 t. lay down her pen and look at him What was her surprise and delight to sec 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 hin in fun: "Oh Timothy, have lost but. ton off my dress. l wish you would find it." The animal looked at her, walked out of the room and returned in few minutes with the missing button in his mouth. Alas! poor Timothy! h, has disappeared, and this is probably the only permanent record of his win 'ing ways.

Fighting Sleep with Tea.

The practice of taking tea or ccffee by students, in order to work at night, Is downright madness, especially when preparing for an examination. More than half of the cases of break k-down, 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- 4uiry, have learned-in almost every instance-that the 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 "Lifo of Julius C@sar," 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 dif- ference between his age and mine, and but for this dreadful cerebral strain. rendered possible only by the alkalod (for otherwise he would have fallen 10 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.-I0palar Science Monthly for December.

Airing Beds.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the advisability 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 GOV erings, only to draw them back half an hour later The unsavory fact that the body actually loses weight during a 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 holsters should be beaten energctically. Then, even in the btterest weather, the windows should be opened wide, if only for ten minutes, that the atmosphere of the apartment may be completely changed.
 Nor is 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 eningn 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-linc.
 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 q 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, a mustness 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 a hostess or is too little at home in house to ask for addi- tional blankets has shivered all night in 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 stufling be- tween being held in place by tufts of worsted to match, These are prefera- ble to tho heavy alleged ''comfortahles' sold in stores. .-C Chicdgo Tribune.

CARP POND.

Wherever there is a small natural BODY Of
water it can be utilized. a pond 100 by SO

though one of an acre or two will enable the
owner to sell fish. Let willows fringe the
banks and pond lilies grow in the waters
1t can be made in pretty ornamental shapes,

ning stream or swampy ground at the foot of
hills can also be utilized for a fish pond.
The illustration shows pond of very sim
pie construction. In making it, writer in The
Southern Cultivator says that he simply built
n dam as high as he wanted it, and saw how
far the water would back. Next, he writes:
Il then went far enough above and started a
ditch to take all the water from around the
pond, except enough to supply the pond and
keep small stream running off. In the
figure ID Is the dam; y is water way with a
wire gauze across it to keep in the fish; B
Is ditch running above the head of the
pond; & Is the feed pipe which may be opened
or closed at will. With this arrangement
high water never affects the pond
Fish eat up ''wigglers," and so keep off
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and malaria are said
always to exist together, and it is quite pos
sible the carp will also eat the vegetable
germs which are believed to produce malaria
The ponds must have an outlet and an inlet
The outlet should have across the mouth
some kind of perforated covering, to prevent
the escape OF the fish. Wire cloth screens are
recommended i'll carp ponds" Mr.. Smiley
uses three of these of different fineness, placed
at intervals. The water must be drawn off
once or twice year to get out rubbish,
snakes and outsiders destructive to carp
Ice ponds may be well utilized for fish
Ponds should be not less than three feet in
depth i'll their deepest part, says the govern
ment report. and they should gradually lessen
10 depth of one or two inches, to provide
the shoals required for spawning. Small
knobs and islands should be removed, as they
generally afford harbor fer the enemies of
carp.
