A Pussy BeII-Ringer.

''Purr, purr, purr!'' Pussy sat on
the kitchen window-sill with her eyes
half shut. and purred, and purred. She
looked very sleepy indeed; but she was
more sly than sleepy. She was an
Angora cat, and very handsome. She
had long, silky white fur, and fringed
ears, and bushy tail like a squirrel.
She often curled it over her back, just
as squirrel would.
Pussy was in the kitchen a great
deal, and she saw the cook make GUS
tards, and puddings, and cake. She
wanted some. She meant to have
some. She noticed that. whenever a
certain bell was rung, the cook left the
kitchen and stayed out for several
minutes. The bell-cord was within
her reach if she stood up on her hind
feet. 1t was not where the cook would
see it. Pussy slyly pulled the cord
with her fore-paws. and rang the bell.
The cook went to see what was wanted;
and pussy devoured a custard in great
haste.
Sly Pussy! When the cook back she
lay in 9 corner, and seemed fast asleep.
She played this trick over and over
again. But after while some one hid
and watched while the cook was out
and saw Pussy ring the bell.-Our Lit

Fire Customs in China.

a friend in Chicago, will interest a gooo
many people: Last week there was

buildings are of brick with tile roofs.

were burned to death. A strange Gus
tom in connection with any fire IS, that
the owner of the building where the fire
breaks out is taken to the yarmin (place
of public business, police court, etc. }
and severely beaten, suppose the idea
being that he must have been careless
to have let it happen. In this case the
man was hurt at the fire and died from
the beating. Another strange thing is,
that all the stores near, for several DAYS
are obliged to sell their goods cheap.

was no hope of progress until daylight.
But near at hand was little village

suggested that the passengers adjourn
to the hall and listen to an address BY
their distinguished fellow-traveler.
He finally consented to do his part;
the hall was warmed and lighted, and
the lecture took place.
The next day the gentleman was ap-
preached by sturdy young yeoman.

The identity having been established
he went on:

The orator experienced the genial
glow which unconventional and un-
sought praise is wont to inspire. and he
cordially took the honest fellows hand.

Pressure Of the Sea.

It is often asked, when an ocean-go-
ing vessel has been lost at sea, and it is
supposed that she has foundered, why
none of her timbers rise to the surface
again and float, as submerged wood
will nearer shore. The explanation is
that if the vessel has been sunk in deep
water the pressure to which it is sub
jected will be so great that a certain
quantity of water will be forced into the
pores of the wood, and thus render it 50
heavy that even when detached from
the ship piece of the timber could not
float. 1t is becauss of the constantly
and rapidly-increasing pressure. too.

In choosing fish one has q chance
to show considerable judgment. Fish

is not always possible. The freshness
of fish is indicated by its being firm and

not quite right, and the extent of this
dropping is fair guide in Judgment of
