A certain charitable mission enterprise,
connected with an important church,
says the Boston Transcripts. II presided

an whose benevolent interest in the mis-.
sion work has been supposed - include
the clergyman at its head. She had been
indsfatgable in her endeavors to teach
and entertain the boys. and often ad.
dresses them in little speeches.
The other Sunday this young lady was
speaking to the boys in the presence OF
the clergyman. She had exhorted them
to be good and studous. to avoid bad
company, profanity and other demoraliz-
ing things, and closed her little exhorta-
ton with these words:
II want you to be good boys, and do all

REFUGE FOR CATS.

How Philadelphia HAS Provided for Hes
Decrepit Felines.
One of the most unique of Philadel.
phia's institutions is the Refuge for
Lost and Suffering Animals. more
commonly called the Cat Home" al
No l242 Lombard street. The
refuge" does an extensive business
in providing easy mortuary honors for
old. decrepit and vagrant felines. who
are daily dispatched by the fumes o,
charcoal. 1t is a feature Of the wom-
ans branch of the Society for the Pre-.
veniion # Cruelty to Animals and il
in charge Of Superintendent John c.
West. Superintendent Vests report
for 1887 shows that IL. 81 cats met $
painless death. together with 2.15s
dogs. 4 rats. 8 rabbits. 8 canary birds
and 3 chickens All the In ter were
killed at the request of the owners.
Bcarders are also taken IN the shape
of pet cats. whose owners leave the
city. or who desire that they should
have good care in their declining days.
The charge per week Is fifty cents.
and the menu consists of milk. fish
and bread twice each day. They are
kept in = latticcd Enclosure. and. bar
ring the occasional differences that
arise between them. seem 10 enjoy their
quarters. When an animal is received
rs . boarder its name. il it has one. is
registered. rs i that of its owner. and
all the personal marks and peculiari-
ties it may possess No responsible
ty, however is assumed i'm ease al
sickness or death of the animal il
charge. Any one having cat they
wish mercifully put to death has but
to send word to the refuge and Frank
Ryan. who rejoices in the title Of ''cat
messenger" will call and remove the
cat. carrying it away in large bias.
ket divided within by partitions each
large enough for one animal This is
done to prevent family. Jars and in.
tcrnal conflicts which would render
Mr.. Ryan's position irksome. No
charge is made. but an established
custom is the payment Of car fare.
I'VE don't kill all the cats" explained
Superintendent West. I'VE often
come across very good animals in
some of the patches Of kittens We re-
ceive. These We always pick out and
experience no difficulty in finding
them good homes We are frequently
consulted rs TO remedies for sick ani-
mails and are often asked To receive
them at the refuge. but tha.responsi-
bility we have to decline. This want
has been supplied BY the generous gift
of e7O. 900 by the late Mrs. r w.
Ryerss. who bequeathed that amount
to establish an infirmary for animals.
which is entirely distinct from tho
refuge" -Ihilade ,phta Inquirer.
