Cats in Paris.

The French capital harbors the largest
number of cats of any city in the world
in proportion to its size. Whole colonies
of them are to be found in the vicinity of
tho markets, where they feed on broken
victuals and make incessant war ON the
rats. AT the Halles Centrales their num-
bers have increased SO rapidly of late that
q portion of them had to be destroyed, as
they roamed about in bands like wild
beasts, and were beginning to be dan
gerous. Duprez, the. well known tenor
singer, has earned the LIE pere des chats,
for he daily feeds hundreds of these
animals at his w expense. The pre-
lecture of police likewise entertains a
large colony of cats, which are placed
under tho caro- of an old woman of 10,
who supplies them with daily rations of
meat and milk.-Le Magasin Picturesque.

SONG OF THE SNOWFLAKE.


Like a cloud upon a mountain,
Like n bubble on a fountain,
am seen and pass away as In a dream.
For the wild wind drives me ever,
Over land, and sea, and river,
Till the sunshine shall dissolve me in its beam.
/ am swept on the wings of the storm,
And / rush 'twixt the earth and tho sky,
Tit earth that seems shnpless in form,
And the moon that Is clouded on high;
l rush DER the oceans dark waste,
And the white spray leaps upward to me,
Till ! feel in its kiss ns we minglc, the taste
OF the salt of the boistcrous sea.
Ipass DER the ship,
And l hover and dip,
Midst the masts, and the sails, and the shrouds,
But the wind with q whirl,
Makes me eddy and curl,
And bears me once more to the clouds.
From the place of my birth,
Iswoop downward to earth,
am borne DER the plain and the hill, -
And 1 long for my rest,
In the grounds snow clad breast,
Or a homo in the stream or the rill.

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.

The assignment of the Union Cattle
company is peculiar in the respect that it
IS not made at the instance of any press
ing creditors, but at the request Of the
stockholders themselves. With a valua-
bic but widely scattered business on their
hands their financial affairs assumed such
n shape that an overzcalous creditor by
throwing the matter into the courts and
precipitating legal entanglements might
be the means of frittering away the prop.
erty without advantage to any Of those
directly concerned. 1t was therefore
thought best to have receivers appointed
who would be in a position to hold the
business well in hand and in the readjust-
ment of the affairs give to all concerned
what was Justly due them.
Placing the affairs of the company in
the hands of receivers, " said Mr.. Thomas
Sturgis, in conversation last night, docs
not, Of course, involve the private affairs
of any of the stockholders beyond the
amount of stock which they individually
hold. The move can have no direct local
effect for the reason that those most con-
cerncd live elsewhere and the company's
liabilities, 50 far as Cheyenne is concerned,
amount to very little aud can ut once be
liquidated. As to the men in the employ
of the company the same is true, and
their will be forthcoming whenever
they are due. The business OF the com
pany will be continued in much the same
channels as now, but of course under the
direction Of the receivers. ] believe it
will only be a question Of five or six
months until the affairs are again salts
factorily adjusted and the company once
more assumes control Of its v business
or is merged into n new company"
What effect will the company assign
ment have on the cattle trust2'
1T can have no effect. The company
may possibly withdraw from the trust, but
that organization has now assumed such
proportions that it cannot b affected by
the m,sfortunes of a single company.

There il in England a curious system
Of contract labor which has lately in
terestcd not only writers on economical
subjects, but tho English government rs
well. In Tho Fortnightly Review the
system Is described at length. 1t is also
mentioned in the report to parliament by
j.. Burnett, whose duty it was to inquire
into the labor problems of the cast end
Of London. This plan of work is known
a5 the sweating" system. 1t is preva-
lent in many trades, particularly in
manufacturing districts. BY it the
owner of q factory obtains the cheapest
possible labor. Heemploys a contractor,
to whom he pays a gross sum for q GER
tain amount Of work. This sum is less
than it costs tho manufacturer himself
TO arrive at the same results. The con-
tractor then, by increasing the number
Of hours Of work, and perhaps by re-
ducing the pay of the ''hands" he hires,
Is enabled not only to do the required
work, but TO obtain for himself u com
Portable profit. This system of slavery
is said 10 be so extensive in England as
TO call for legislation. Trunk making.

other trades flourish entirely on this
