this city and his charming wife.
Under the circumstances, it is
natural. Yesterday the bankers
wife was sitting, with her pretty
fve.months-old baby. in her car
rage in front of the bank, when q
friend came up and stopped for q
moments chat. The gentleman,
after paying his respects TO the baby
carried the youngster into the bank.
Thought I'd bring my little girl in
to see you" he said to the banker,
" and by the way. don't you think
she looks very much like your boy?
They are both the same age, l be

msrkable," replied the other, as he
patted the pink and white cheeks oil
the laughing infant. Calling to his
cashier, he said: "Come here and
see the handsome baby and the strik
ing resemblance to my boy. Think
I'll have to tell my wife about it,
Your little girl is almost the image
of my boy" The gentleman, who
was unable to keep a straight face
any longer, took the baby back tc
the carriage and told the mother all
about his interview. 1T isn't posi-

mean to say that my husband didn'
know his own child? I'll go in and
see about it." 81 guess I'll CO.

The Very L.atesf.

"Ohl There's u horrid bug on
your. trousers. Brush it off, Jack"
A pretty girl and a particularly
well-dressed youth were walking out
Walnut street yesterday, toward 6
o'clock. The pretty girls face filled
with horror at the sight of a long
and brightly colored caterpillar,
which extended itself lengthwise on
her companions p~antaloons above
the knee. She struck it deftly with
her parasol, but the insect chung to
the cloth, which was a fine quality
of black cashmere. A second poke
with the parasol failed to dislodge it.
Finally she stopped to pick it off,
but it refused to move.
Better leave him alone, SIS"
laughed the young man, and upon
her asking what it was explained as
follows:
Its a new wrinkle. You order O
jet black pair of trousers with a
shine on the cloth. Then, after
your tailor has cut the pieces, have a
spot marked on the piece over the
left knee, and get ONE n 10 en-

some such insect. It's only been

THE CAT.

somesntpr About an Item OF very
Natural History.
/ am going to write this article Tor my
own amusement to 6ll up space. My
editor objects to natural history anec'
dotes, but / feline know more about the
cat this week than anything else, so am
preparing this item on purpose.
1t has been limited in well informed
cirles that the cat is a quadruPed, be-
cause. forsooth. it has four feet, but any
such claim is four.feeted when We re-
member that every yard contains at
least q cat at nights, and a yard is only
three feet.
How cats originated is only known TO
the promoters Of the scheme, but they
are indigenous to roofs, back fences and
vacant lots. and command considerable
attention from the community at large
and small. 1t is belle sed that the ear
lier settlers came from kamscatks,
while other accounts assert that Gaia
lonia was their native country. When
you meet Q Catalonia you might ask 1t.
Cats are o~mnivorous, ~carnivorous'

LOUISVILLE, July 25.-John NJ.
Atherton, Thomas Sherley and
Major W. H. Thomas, three of the
largest whisky manufacturers in
Kentucky, have been summoned to
Washington to explain certain mat
tiers connected with the whisky trus
in Kentuck. Sherley and Thomas
say there is no such trust in Ken
lucky. Some time since the dis
tillers of Kentucky undertook to
form an agreement limiting the pro-
duction of whisky, but a number of
distillers would not sign this agree
ment, so that il is not binding on
any OF them. Its terms do not go
further than to fix the amount of
whisky that each manufacturer may
make.

Mrs. cleveland ana Her Mother
ray the Tax ON Their Canine
Pets.
It was the duty Of every person
owning a dog to godown to the col
lector's Office on the LIST Of July and
pay the dog tax of 81. Since the 1st
inst, more than 500 dogs have been
licensed and tagged, among them
some very distinguished CANNES.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom
took out tags Nos. 3l3 and 314,
respectively. Mrs. Cleveland's dog
is put down on the public records as
a French poodle, residing at the
White House. Mrs. Folsom's dog
resides al Oak View, the Presidents
country seat, and is called Bolivar,
and his colors are black-aud-tan.
He is an imported animal of a rare
species.
All the Cleveland dogs do not live
ut the White House, however, and
it was remarked in the tax Office that
if the President is as big a favorite
next fall as he is with the Democratic
CANNES he will be a sure winner.
There are a number of Grover
Clevelands, and Grover and Cleve-
lands on the license books, and there
is not a Harrison to be found. This
is probably on account OF all the
dogs being provided with names be-
fore tho nomination was made. DR..
Clark, who issues the licenses, and
is an authority on dogs, says there
will be "a new crop Of dogs, before the
fall elections, and then we may have a

CURE FOR SMALLPOX.
A Simple Remedy which Was Csed Durin
the Civil War.

Simple Remedy which Was Csed During
the Civil War.
Regarding the remedies for small
pox gentleman who was connected
with the medical and surgical depart
ments during the war says: during
the time intervening between the bat
tie of Stone River. at Murfreesboro.
Tenn. and the Missionary Ridge
conflict on the heights overlooking
Chattanooga a smallpox epidemic
was a fright that scared more than it
killed. A large smallpox hospital was
established at Bridgeport. Ala. and
the average number of inmates was
represented by more than three figures.
But what wished to arrive at was
this. the deaths were very few and the
treatment was quite simple. We only
gave the patients plenty of ventilation
by raising the sides of the large hos
pital tents, kept their bow els freely
open and gave the men good rations
of English ale. commodity that was
generously supplied by the Christian
Commission of the North and Uncle
Sans Commissary Department.
Il have here also in my pocket-book
distinguished physicians recipe for
the small pox. and know it is good.
but l will give it to you with his own
comments:
"This receipt has been used to my
knowledge in hundreds of cases. and l
know it will prevent or cure small
pox, though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered the cow-pox
in England. the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head. but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the wcrld-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox. it passed UNI
needed. 1t is unfailing as fate and
conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by a well-person.
1t will also cure scarlet fever. Here
is the recipe as 1 have used it and
cured my children of scarlet-sever;
here it Is as have used it to cure small
pox:
.'Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis). one grain; half tea
spoonful of sugar; mix with two tea
spoonfuls of water. When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces OF water. Take
a spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For
child smaller doses. according to age.
If counties would counsel their physi-
clans to use this there would be no
need of pest-houses. If you value adj
vice and experience, use this for that
terrible disease. San Jose (Cdk)
