THE CATS NAME WAS SMITH.
The Embarrassing Mistake of an Alb.
sent-Mindcd Gentleman.

Up in New Hamphire, some few
years ago, there lived family who
were engaged IN farming. and who had
employed mysterious hired man, who
gave ne other name than ''Mr. Smith, !"
and was never called otherwise. He
served his engagement faithfully, and.
departing, left behind him a pretty
kitten, which he had picked up some.
where, and which was named by the
family in his honor "Mr. Smith. -
''Mr. Smith" grew TO cathood, and was
greatly esteemed member of the
family being affectlonate and faithful.
possessing all the feline virtues, so that
when the family finally left the farm
and moved down Lowell they brought
Mr. Smith along with them.
One Sunday morning. after they
were settled in their new home, which
closely adIoiRed another house, the
head of the house stepped to the back
door, and seeing the cat, saluted him
Familiarity:
AHA. Mr.. Smith! Taking your air
Ing, eh? You're fine animal, Mr..
SMITH"
He noticed that a spruce-looking
man in the next yard looked UP in some
surprise at this remark, but said moth
ing.
Another day, later on. having gone
out to call the cat, he again saluted
him thus:
well. Mr.. Smith, how do you Tx.
it down hereT Do you get pleuty
rats to eatP''
Glancing over he saw lis neighbor
again, and this time the neIghbor -
peared to be regarding him vsrI
lntently, with a queer expression o.
his face. So he thought to propitiata
him by friendly salutation:
Good morning, sir.'
"Morning. But why in the world do
you ask me whether l get rats enough
to eat, and why co you cali me line
animal?''
IL didn't know did, sir.''
well, you did. l am the conductor
on the Boston and Blank Railroad and
my name is Smith: and you are always
coming out of your door and calling
Mr.. SMITH Mr.. Smith, or making
some such cOnfounded remark as you
did Just now. / want to know what
1t all MEANS"
The explanation wasn't particularly
difficult; but out OF consideration for
his neighbOr's feelings the owner OF
Mr.. Smith" has given up the use of
that name for the animal out OF doors.

Postal Chirography.

How about the d lfliculty of illegible
handwritings?" asked a reporter of the
superintendent of the Chicago Post
Oilice.
well, that is. generally speaking,
not as bad as might be expected, espe-
cially in a cosmopolitan city like CHI
cag0, which can boast of all sorts of
national handwritings. Long practice
has skilled our eyesignt and gift of dis
tinction so that we but rarely have
difficulty in deciphering any style of
writing. In my twenty years. expe-
rience l think L remember only two or
three occasions when / was unable to

Indulge in

writers, and then some of the Scandi-
navlans and a few of the Germans, who
affect German script and get of some
very bold figures with the pen. The
Americans are, that goes without say.
ing, the plainest and most distinct
writers. But even among them there
are a good many who affect such pecu-
liarities of handwriting that puzzle US
not little. Especially what's called
the 'back-handed' ones-it may look
pretty enough, but the characters all
run into each other and make the effect
of blurring the whole. 1t takes study
TO decIpher this style of writing, and
you often have to twist the letter and
turn 1t sideways and upside down to
get any sence OF it.''

Ozone and MaIarIous Emanations.

The air of mountains possesses a
greater amo unit of ozone than that of
the seashore. What particular effect
ozone may have upon the health of
man has not yet been clearly made out
In some directions it seems to be abso-
lutely injurious. There is good evil
dence to show that it is often produc.
tive of bronchIll affections and espec-
tally of influenza. During epidemIcs
of this disease an increased amount of
ozone has been found in the atmos-
phere. On the other hand there is no
doubt that ozone is a great purifier of
the atmosphere, and it is doubtless
owing TO the increased amount OF this
agent in the air of mountain regions
that its salubrity is in a great measure
due. 1 have subjected putrescent meat
and vegetables to the action of ozone,
and invariably the bad smell was at
once corrected. 1t may, therefore, be
regarded as a destroyer OF certain
germs which are capable OF producing
disease. This is especially true as re-
CARDS what we call malaria, and which,
as everybody knows. produces In the
human system some very characteristic
diseases. Several observers have found
that this antagonism between ozone
and malarious emanations really exists.

Banquet TO the Deaf and Dumb.

A banquet to 200 deaf and dumb
mep and women took place at st.
Mande, near Paris, recently. Several
speeches were made, which were
eagerly followed, if not listened TO,
aud very much applauded. Perhaps
this needs an explanation. The term
deaf and dumb has become a IN s.
nomer. Children born deaf are no
longer dumb, as they were necessarily
OF old. They are now taught by in
genious methods to understand and
Initiate the motions of the lips in ordi-
nary speech. The Able de | Epee Is
said to have originated the system
whereby those born deaf and dumb are
put into communion with the rest of
mankind. His school was placed under
tie patronage of the nation by an act
OF July 23d, 1871, and it WAS to cele-
brate this anniversary that the men,
bers of the Friendly Society OF the
Deaf and Dumb met at the Salon des
Families.

Severity OF Scarlet Fever.

From an analysis OF over 6,O00 cases
of scarlet fever, it appers that liability
to the disease is very slight during
early infancy, reaches the maximum in
the fourth or fifth year, and dIminishes
every year afterward. The severity is
greatest in the first two years, lessen
ing year by year throughout childhood
and adolescence. Females are more
liable to attack afte- infancy than
males. but attacks among males are
more fatal.

PiaaistS' Cramp.

Certain functional disorders of the
hand and arm have been observed in
pianis,s by Mr.. Vivian Poore. This
cramp of the pianists he estimates to
be eight times as common as the
cramp OF writer's, and he finds especi-
ally liable to it those who practise
with the wrist continually held rigid.
The symptoms are painful stiffness of
the shoulder aud OF the right arm,
less frequently of the left side, cramps
of the little finger and of the ring
finger, sometimes with trembling
this distressing condition often per.
sisting after exercise with the keys,
and being brought back by the least
exertion Of hand or fingers. Cold,
sedentary habits, weakness and predis-
position to rheumatism and govt in
crease the liability to it.
