SOME SMART CATS.
Wonderful Feline Performers Whose
 Training Required Years of Labor.

Wonderful Feline Performers Whose
 Training Required Years of Labor.
 The most novel and interesting feat ure of the public performances in Paris is troupe of cats at the circus. They do ,Jme wonderful things. and are at tracting large crowds. This is the first time that trained cats have been exhibited in public there, and the fair sex have gone absolutely wild over the clever tricks of their feline favOrites. These animals are natives of Holland, and stare, with eyes wide open and low, murmuring purr, at the ladies who pat them on the head, s.roke their backs and. feed them with candies. The trainer and master of the cats is MT. Bonnetty, and they are familiar, not only with his orders, but his signs and even his looks.
 Mir. Bonnetty gave indications in his early infancy of a love for animals, and showed great tact in their manage mcnt
 Bonnetty practiced with dogs. goats, donkeys, mules and horses, and was quite successful with them. One day it struck him that he hal never tried a cat, and lie resolved to do so. He procured two natives of Horen, said to be the most intelligent in the world, and he found them so difficult to control that he determined to bring them under subjection. H. spent great deal of time and patience in training the two. and finally succeed ed n-getting them to do almost what he wished. One by one he added to the number until at last he had troop of twenty. The late corners were more easily instructed than the first, because they initiated their comrades.
 He first taught them to jump, then to run in circle, and then ', go in different directions-some one wav,: and some another. It was very diff cult 10 teach them 10 jump. z At the word they sometimes stood undecided.

The Science of Palmistry-What Shaking Hands Reveals.
 "George Francis Train is as loony as a wild cat on. many subjects, no doubt,n remarked a physician the other day, ''but there is good deal of method in his mad ness about one thing" | "What's that?" .-t
 Shaking hands. I don't blame him for disliking promiscuous hand-shaking; it has many unpleasant features. "What can you tell by the shake of mans handr'
 "A good deal. Why, can pick out the people in crowd with whom shake hands, who have kidney disease, and they don't know itI'
 q don't understand you. Do you pretend to say there is any thing peculiar in their 'shake'gn
 ''No, not in the 'shake,' but in the 'feer of the hand"
 ''Please explain what you mean"
 "A hot dry hand shows inactivity of the skin. The skin is the third kidney. We sweat out as much water through the skin as we pass off through the kidneys"
 "How much is that9'
 '1n health, several pints a day In the summer we sweat more than in the winter but in health there is constant, though lnvlSlDle escape or moisture through the skin. In the palm of the hand, there are from two to three million little sweat pores. The sweat-glands are great help to the kidneys, and when working health fully in the summer, the kidneys can and do take much-needed recreation. You can prove this, if you notice that you pass less fluids in summer than in winter, if skin and kidneys are healthy.
 You will be surprised, if you shake hands with company of people, to see how many hands feel hot and dry. Hadn't you noticed it!
 'I don't think have.) But what can be done in such casesF" '
 Only one thing can be done, and that is to get the kidneys at work again by a very thorough course of treatment with Warmers safe cure, and giving yourself sponge or wet cloth rubbing (with warm or cold dwater, whichever is the most agreeable) night and morning. Use only the best soap on the body in such cases. Indeed, soap isn't necessary oftener than once a week. Wig orous rubbing with awen wrung towel, fol- lowed by like rubbing with dry warm towelis recommended.
 Palmistry is modern science that is quite a fad with fashionable people nowadays, but there is a good deal more in it than the professional palm readers have yet found out.

ABOUT FROZEN PLANTS.
Reliable Instru ctions as to Their Care
 and Treatment.

and Treatment.
 When by any mishap the plants, whether in parlor or greenhouse, be- come frozen, either at once rem ove them (taking care not to touch the leaves) to some place warm enough to be just above the point of freezing; or, if there are too many to do that, get up the fire as rapidly as possible, and raise the temperature. The usual ad. vice is to sprinkle the leaves and shade the plauts from the sun. We have never found ei t her ren edy of any avail with frozen plants, and the sprinKling is often a seri ous injury if done before the temperature is above the freezing point. In our experience with thou- sands of fro zen plants, we have tried all manner of expedients, and found no better m ethod than to get them out of the freezing atmosphere as quickly as possible, and we have also found that the damage is in proportion to the sue culent condition of the plant and the intensity of the freezing. Just what degree of cold plants in any given condition can endure without injury we are unable to state. Plants are often frozen so that the leaves hang down, but when thawed out are found to be not at all injured. At another time the same low temperature acting on the same kind of plants will kill them outright if they happen 10 be growing more thriftily and are full of sap. Much depends on the temper atilre at which lants have been grow ing. When the frost is penetrating into a greenhouse or room in which plants are kept. and the heating ar engagements are inadequate to keep it out, the best thing to do is to-cover the plants with paper Newspapers) or sheeting. Thus protected, most plants will be enabled to resist four or five degrees of frost. Paper is rather better than sheeting fer this purpose. --AnlsrtcansA qrtculturtst ~-5'i se @

Famous Women.

It is significant fact that most of the women who have achieved fame in art, lit erature, or S'affairs,' have enjoyed vigorous health. This shows that the mind is never capable of the severe and continued applica- body is at it's best. The woman who aspires to fill an exalted place among her associ- ates must be free from nervous debility and female weaknesses. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will banish these, and it is warranted to restore those functional har- monies which are indispensable to health. As specific for all those chronic weak nesses and ailments peculiar to women, it is uneOualed.

Carrying the War Into Africa.

The negro children of Cameron, the German colony on the east coast of Africa, are already prepared to receive the blessings of German education, if we may judge from the fact that the teacher sent there by the Imperial Government has placed an order for large number of black states and pencils with the Rhenish slate factory at Worms. The German schoolmaster, so they said seventeen years ago, conquered the French. Is he now selected to conquer Africa!

Some of the greatest men that ever lived were of small stature and of insignificant appearance. The reader will readily recall many instances. Very small are Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, but they are far more effective than the huge, old fashioned pills which are so difficult to swal- low and so harsh in their action. The 'sPel- lets" are gentle and never cause constipa- tion. For liver, stomach and bowel derange- ments they have no equal
