How Ho Secured q Pass.

When Agnes Booth was here as Mrs. Schoeffel her husband was on the door up stairs at McVickers one night when young man presented himself and asked that the privileges of the house be extended by reason of the young mans position as correspondent of some eastern newspaper. Mir. Schoeffel said he could not recognize the young man to that extent.
 ''I desire to know who you are, sir" said the correspondent. "Pll attend to you in my paper"
 My name is Schoeffel, sir; John B. SchoeffeL You can have my name and be - to you, sir"
 Il didn't hear the name aright," said the young man.
 "Schoeffel, sir; John, John Schoeffel."
 ''Write it for me; want to get it right" :" thundered the correspondent.
 Mir Schocffel wrote the name on card and almost flung it in the correspondents face.
 That night when the ''count up" was going on MT. Schoeffel found his autograph among the tickets, and oyer it was written ''pass two" The correspondent had utilized the autograph at the box office. MT. Schoeffel is now the partner of Henry Abbey. Chicago Ti,nas

Guyinc the British Detective.

There Is something about the British detective that acts as an incentive to crime do not mean this in the sense of joke precisely. Nobody ever found any particular delight in larking with Ameri- can, Russian or French detectives, but all foreigners who have any intercourse at all with the English detective force feel this temptation to guy them.

Oatmeal as A Ecnd.

Many of the keepers of big groceries in this city tell of the large extent to which oatmeal is used as an article of diet. In thousands of families plate or bowl of oatmeal porridge, which ought to be of the best quality. well boiled, and taken with cream, is tho first thing at breakfast. The children are apt to be very fond of it. It is wholesome. nutritious and advan- tageous to the digestion. It is surprising that more people do not learn how to pre- paro for the breakfast table oatmeal cakes, those thin, crisp, most excellent biscuits which one finds in all households in Scotland and which ought to be eaten with fresh milk. They are easily made, worth making, possess most of the merits of porridge, and arc desirable change from it ct times. The Scotch are also largo consumers of peasemesl, which they make into baunocks or prose, good for hungry people and racy to tho taste. When the wheat crop is short and flour is dear. both oatmeal and peasemeal might be used to advantage in more American families than have ever tried them.-New York Sun

The Cafs of Rarix

We are promised cat show in Paris. This will not, perhaps, be so interesting as a baby show, but it will be a novelty here. The Parisians like cats, and, as everybody knows, they have 0 highly dis tinguished breed. Their long fur, bushy tails and amiable faces have made them celebrated as French cats," although in reality they claim Oriental descent. At all times in favor here, they were chiefly appreciated during the siege. although tho quantity of meat in proportion to fur was often disappointing A good cat of steady habits-the profigate animals arc always lean-was worth twenty francs or moro few days before the equalization. If some old ladies had not clung to their cats with great determination, and checked their rowing impulses. they would doubt less have been all eaten.
 Intelligence in cats grows in inverse ratio to fur. The long furred animals arc sleepy and stupid, the short furred ones, with tails liko rats, are active, wide awake and exceedingly enterprising.

For this purpose placed tho thickcst part of the hair before the mi croscopc. and from the most accurate hundred of such threads placed sido by such hair. If, then, we suppose such a hair to be of round form, it follows that 10000 of the threads spun by the full grown spider, when taken together, will not be equal in substance to the size of a singlo hair.
