The Cat and the President.

Chicago Herald: The other even
ing while the president and Mrs.
Cleveland, accompanied by DR.. Ward
and Mrs. Lamont, were seated
in a box at Albaugh's opera
house witnessing the play Fedora" a
ludicrous scene occurred. At the
climax of the last act. shortly after Fe
dora drinks the phial of poison, and
while she is in the death throes a big
black cat, the theatre mascot, walked
on from behind the scenes, and, cross
ing the footlights, leisurely made his
way out on the rails before the presi
dents box. Stopping before Mrs.
Cleveland he carefully surveyed her
and then attentively scanned the other
members of the party. Satisfying him
self that it was the president and not
an imposter that had attracted the gaze
of the audience throughout the play. he
slowly turned about and disappeared in
a vacant box. The audience enjoyed
the incident hugely, but Fedora's death
scene was ruined.

A STRANGE SLEEP:
The Dcathlike Trance OF Laura Web
ster-Ten Weeks I'm Bed, 49,. =

San Francisco Chronicles: The one
house in the block that would not inn
press reporter with the idea that there
is mystery within, is that at 122 Eddy
street.
In bed in the front parlor, however.
is young lady, Miss Laura Webster,
who had lain there. accrediting the
statements Of her half-sister, for ten
weeks.
Miss Atlanta Webster said it was a
case OF catalepsy.
"Poor Laura has not moved from that
bed" she said, Excepting when | carry
her to the armchair, for many weeks.
DIR. Perry, her physician, has been in
attendance upon her, and he is satisfied
that she will eventually recover"
Miss Laura Webster is twenty-five
years old Last October she returned
from the country. Shortly after her re-
turn she became hysterical and afflicted
with nervous prostration. She COM
planned Of nothing more than lassitude
Finally she took to her bed, and when,
the next morning, an effort was made to
awaken her she was found to be uncOn-
scious. The heat of her body and her
regular, though faint respiration, indi-
Gated that she was still alive, but her
pallid features and rigidity suggested
death.
zone day the doctor stuck a needle
into her arm and she moved away and
cried OUGHT She can tell what food
she wants when suggest dishes to he II
and is very fond of pie and cake. One
day was cooking something and the
odor penetrated the bedroom. When l
asked her what she wanted to eat she
chose the very dish l had just cooked"
said her sister.
During the first few weeks of her
Illness" said Miss Atlanta, "she re-
fused all nourishment. She became
quite emaciated, as you may see, and
then she took her food regularly. About
two weeks ago she first began opening
her eyes and staring before her in a
really spoke coherentlywas the other
day, when she asked for coffee and
toast She told me when | brought it
to her she that she wanted the toast
dipped in the coffee"
1T is all very strange to me. A young
lady friend of mine who is quite as
skeptical as you are came here to see
Laura. She is beautiful singer, and
while she sang she kept her eyes on
Laura by looking in the looking glass.
AS the song grew in volume Laura
opened her eyes and looked directly at
my friend, and appeared to enjoy both
bnc slphb vi lhc young Blfl anu Vle
sound of her voice. She closed her
eyes as soon as the song ceased and nc
coaxing could induce her to open them
again"
The entire case is undoubtedly II most
peculiar one. The story of the sister
would lead to the belief that there is
something wrong while the looks of the
patient, her sore ears and her emaciated
condition are genuine.

The experiments Of NM. Coulter and
Mascart, extended by Aitkin, have
demonstrated that in q perfectly moist
air no formation of fog Is possible, now
ever much the temperature may be
lowered, so long as the air IL absolutely
free from dust, and that the more air,
sufficiently moist, may be charged with
such foreign particles, the more dense
will be the formation OF fog under q
sufficient lowering Of the temperature
or pressure of tho air. Let filtered and
completely moist air in a glass ball have
It's pressure diminished, then only q few
particles Of fog will reveal themselves
to the most careful inspection, even
under the powerful light OF an electric
lamr---particles Of fog which, moreover.
yield not the slightest colored image.
If there be now admitted into this FL.
tered air few cubic millimetres OF
ordinary house air, which always con-
tains numerous notes or PARTICLES Of
dust, a very fine. silvery, transparent,
fog will at once form itself, of such
slight density that, even in the case Of
a considerable area Of 1t. the transpar-
ency of the atmosphere would be but
very slightly affected. IL at the first
moment of its formation a reflected
image Of the sun, or a reflected light Of
an electric lamp, be viewed through it,
the image will be seen surrounded by
an intensely luminous blue or greenlsh
light. These Investigations may be
said to be the latest, as they are also
the most interesting and complete yet
made In this direction.

Some Enormous salerics.

Some interesting figures in regard to
Ealarles have been elected in suit
in Brooklyn against q baking-poWder
company. 1t was shown that the
President Of the company draws a SAL
ary of $4,000 year, the Vice presi-
dent $50, 900, and the Treasurer $4,000.
The PRESIDENT of paint and varnish
company, who was introduced as an
expert In regard to saleres, stated that
the Superintendent Of his company
receivei $4,000 year. while the
yearly business did not exceed $3,O00,-
200. Another witness stated that in
companies with which he was acqua,n.
ted the chief ofllcerS received from
$4,000 to 1000 a year, while repre-
sentative Of o kerosene-oil company
taid that he kssew one officer OF large
corporation who received salary or
$50 600 u year, and two others who
receive $4,000 each. These figures
are enormous, and were unknown until
tho days OF trusts and combinations.
The explanation is furnished in the
testimony Of one of the witnesses, who
said that the business Of the company
with which he IL connected had been
Increased until the profits had reached
450 per cent. on the original capital
stock,

with q plain ground and gilt fgures is
nrettiest. The knob or point Is to be
securely glued into a large square or
circular block, which it will be neces-
sary to have made by a carpenter, as IL
must be smoothly finished to look well
after IL has been painted. This block
must also be heavy enough to act ms r
stand for the umbrella, to hold it stead
lily in It's upright position, that It may
not be easily knocked oyer. The block
is then painted the color of the um
Shrella, and decorated like 1T with gilt
figures. To prevent the umbrella from
falling open, the points or the ribs
which project beyond the paper cover.
Ing are iDterlaced with satin ribbou'
Either several shades of the psrrowest
ribbons are turned in and out OF the
ribs or sticks like basKe -work, or a wide
ribbon may be used Instead OF q mar
row. Sew the seams with silk to match
the shade OF the ribbons. The umbrella
should not be quite half open. A piece
Of gilt paper Is cut to at around the In
side of the umbrella sticks, and thus
prevent papers and scraps from falling
through to the point, from whence 1t
is difficult to remove them. If narrow
ribbons are used for the laclngs, tie q
bunch of them round the handle with
long loops and ends, ana their many
colors make q gay trimming; or should
the wider be used, tie q full bow Of 1t
around the handle. The gilt paper
which Is used as a lining to cover the
sticks and hold the scraps must be
glued to keep it in place. This can be
easily done without injuring the cover
ing of the umbrella by touching each
stick with a little strong glue or gum.
ana press the paper against 1T. When
1t dries the paper will adhere and keep
in place nicely. They are very odd and
pretty scrap baskets, and not difficult
to make.
