Pussey Learns a Lesson.
Providence Journal.

1t was an ordinary, everyday, smut
ty-nOzed cat that to all outward APP
pearances had no soul above milk or
possibly diminutive rodents; but be-
meath its cOat of cat hair there lurked
almost a human intelligence. The cat
had been wearing a collar encircled
with little tinkling bells, and with
more or less pride had displayed it to
other cats, and the feline jealousy
awakened thereby had resulted in sun
dry fights, in which the cat with the
musical collar had lost one or more
bells. His mistress, who is a firm
believer in the ability of mind to tri-
umph over matter, argued the case
with the cat, and finally, by the aid of
mental suasion, coupled with the use
of a small switch, succeeded in teach
ing the cat that to lose a bell was to
get a whipping. Wednesday the cat
dropped a bell on the street, but heard
the tinkle as it fell, and realized the
compromising situation at once. To
leave the bell was to get a whipping,
SO he at one took it in his mouth,
trOtted home, and jumping into the
lap of his mistress, dropped the bell
and held his head to have it replaced
IN the collar. The cat and the bell
can be shown if this story is doubted.

Look Him In the Eye.
ne fnterior Presbyterian.l


Look your minister in the eye when
he is preaching. He is talking to you,
and has a right to your strict atten-
ton. His discourse has relation to
your spiritual welfare, and should
arouse your deepest interest. Before
you allow yourself to grumble at the
dullness of a sermon, consider if the
dullness is not in your own brain.
When inclined to complain of the
preachers mOnotOny, see if the real
monotOny is not in the organ, the pull
pit furniture, the rows of pews, the
the wall decorations all of which you
have gazed at with a restless vision to
the neglect of the preachers face, which
really is aglow with enthusiasm and
aptly expressive of the sentiments his
lips are uttering. Further remember
that the minister is delivering a mes
sage from your Lord and Master. You
are bound by every holy obligation to
the message with reverent re-
gard, and to give the messenger a re-
hearing.

SOME DANVILLE HORSES.

Within a few years the town of Dan
Ellie has gone back to raising good
Orses and there are just now a num-
yer of good breeding mares and STALL
B. f. Haviland, is not selling any
sOrses this season but has some fine
hes in his stables. One of the hand
bmest is Phyllis, a very dark bay
$Drse owned by James A. Bryan of
Jew Berne, n. C.. She was sired by
Phil Sheridan and 10y Gray Eagle on
be dams side, and therefore comes
BON q valuable HambletOnian strain.
% came here May &c and is having
ser speed developed and improved
Eherwise. She is driven from eight to
n miles a day and has many elements
a good trotter in her action. M. w.
#impsOn of California, but formerly of
s%OstOn, has a valuable five-year-old
ere who was sired by Abdallah
Wilkes and his mother by Cassius
Bay. 1t was bred by George Bill of
lbany and was purchased for $500.
llbert L. Way of New Berne is a low
of good horses and brought two of
Eis favOrites with him this
ne, a Morgan mare by Billy Root, is a
pod roadster and both horses are re-
barkably handsome and highly priced.
Abel Hartshorn has two stations
hich he values highly on account of
|leir good blood. One of them, the
hree-year-Old, is considered by some
40 handsOmest stallion in Danville.
e was sired 10y Membrino Wilkes and
hs good Morgan blood in him from
10 mothers side.
On the large farms of j. Cole 81 Sons
b the West Danville road is the stall
on Ned Lambert. He was sired by
Duke Alexis and his dam was sired by
PANEL Lambert. He took the first
'remium at the fair when only four
Eeeks old and has never failed to take
premium wien shown. The horse
las bred by J. b. Cook of Greensboro,
nd three of his get on the farm give
rOmise of making good horses. A val
able breeding mare here is LOttie, a
pur-year-Old who took first premium
t the last fair. The Coles have also a
earling by Golden which bears the
~reatest resemblance to Golden of any
+ the colts this famous stallion has
red.
At the ElmwOOd stock farm, D.. K.
Wakefield & Son prOprietOrs, is Nor
an Wilkes, a bay stallion by Major
axter of Derby Line, VT. The Wake
elds have owned this horse since 1884
nd he will probably be handled this
lmmer to ~develope his speed. He is
red by Abdallah Wilkes, and his
fand-sire is George Wilkes who has
p of his get in the 2.30 list. The dam
lack Nellie is by Black Morgan and
organ Wilkes combines as his name
aggests two of the most fashionable
reeds on American soil: He is a very
andsome, highly finished stallion and
us the combination of blood that will
rOduce good trOtters or saleable road
ers.
Johnny Greenbanks, a stallion sired

Jew Greenbanks of South Danville.
nice stallion colt is owned by Charles
elsey of North Danville where are al

Non-BreakabIe Lamp Chimneys.

Some person has studied out this
way to prepare lamp chimneys so that
they will not break: With a diamond
cut the bullying part of the chimney
with perpendicular lines at short dis
tances apart. These cuts are said to
give the glass the necessary room for
expansion and contraction when quick
ly heated or cooled. If a diamond is
10 available, put the chimney in a
pail, for protection, and immerse it in
the reservoir of water on your cook
stove when the water is cool in the
morning and let it remain all day
while the water is hot and all night
when it will slowly cool. This is a
kind of annealing process that is said
to tougher the glass. The use of soap
suds is to be avoided i'll cleaning, and
only clear hot water used.-[GOod
