REFUGE o CATS
How Philadelphia Has Provided for Hss
Docrspit Feiines.

One of the most unique Of Philadel-
phia's institutions is the Refuge for
Lost and Suffering AnimsIs, more
commonly called the Cat Home" at
No. 1919 Lombard street The
'.refuge" does IN extensive business
in providing easy mortusry honors for
old. decrepit and vagrant ~felines. who
are daily dispatched by the fumes Of
charcoal. 1t is q feature of the wom-
ans branch Of the Society for the Pre-.
vention II Cruelty to Animals, and is
in charge of Superintendent John c.
West. Superintendent Vests report
for 1887 shows that II. 81 cats met a
painless death, together with 2,159
dogs, 4 rats. 8 rabbits. 5 canary birds
and 2 chickens. All the la ter were
killed at the request Of the owners
Bcarder5 are also taken IN the shape
Of pet cats, whose owners leave the
city, or who desire that they should
have good care in their declining days.
The charge per week is fifty cents,
and the menu consists Of milk, fish
and bread twice each day. They are
kept in a latticed Enclosure, and, bar.
ring the occasional differences that
arise between them. seem 10 enjoy their
quarters. When an animal is received
as a boarder its name. if it has one, is
registered, as is that Of its owner, and
all the personal marks and pe~culiari-
ties it may possess. No responsible
ty, however. is assumed in case Of
sickness or death Of the animal in
charge. ANY one having q cat they
wish mercifully put to death has bat
TO send word to the refuge and Frank
Ryan, who rejoices in the title Of cat

large enough for one animal This is
done to prevent family jars and in.
ternal conflicts, which would render
Mr.. Ryan's position irksome. No
charge is made, but an established
custom Is the payment OF car fare.

Of $40, 900 by the late Mrs. R W.

to establish an intirmary for animals,
which is entirely distinct from the

RATS AND POULTRY.

Good Cat

The best protection against rats and
mice in the poultry.runs is a good.
well.trained cat. 1t is practically inn
possible to exclude vermin OF this kind
by building against them. and II by
any art the runs are ono cleared, they
are liable to become infested anew o..
most any day. Idon't believe a dozen
rats have been bred on my premises In
as many years. and yet every little
while a colony Of them put in an ap.
pearance. But the poultry house cat
does not permit any increase Of num-
bers. and the last member Of the
colony rarely survives a week. Under
my system of feeding there is always
plenty Of food In the house at all hours
to tempt them, and but for the con.
slant watchfulness of the cat l have
no doubt l should be overrun with
them as lone Of my neighbors
are. Frequently a single rat
comes apparently on a tour of in.
spcction. II be gets well established,

occupied summer pig-pen, in which s
quantity Of old bedding was left over.
They were secure from cats. but moi
provided with food. The first one
came when there was just snow
enough so that his tracks could be
seen. He burrowed his way into the
poultry house and got his colony es'
tablished.
They had evidently visited the
poultry house in the absence of the
cat, and thought they had secured s
supply Of food for the winter: Blu

U COSTUMES.
A Variety of Charming and Fashionable
Gowns for Home Wear.

Just now fashion proscrIbes a special
corsaee for breakfast gowns. The
material may be almost any thing Of n
simple nature. though wash goods are
best. The distinctive feature is a sem.
biance of the crossed handkerchief,
something like those of our great
grandmothers' days. These may be Of
muslin and lace. or of soft-colored
stuff. Tho wedge of neck is left bare,
tie sleeves are above the wrists, the
hair is dressed high from the neck, and
it requires only a fresh. healthy, amia-
bic wearer TO be positively irresistible.

WOMEN At U
b Position OF Diplomatic Females in
the Courts Of Europe.

At Euro pean courts daughters have
no rank whatever, on account of their
fathers official status. aid in En-
gland even wives have no precedence
on this account. Many a time have /
seen Mrs. Gladstone utterly neglected
at court ceremonies. when her hus-
band as Prime Minister was hobnob-
bling with royalty. While the Sha of
Persia was in London there was a
great fcte in his honor at Greenwich.
given By the First Lord of the Adj
miralty, and two thousand guests
were present Tho royal family at

was set for the grandest person
ages, among them the Premier.
but l CHANGED upon Mrs. Glad
stone stumbling along without an
escort half q mile from the dais,
and very grateful she wa for the arm
of a Secretary of Legation, to whom.
as he looked surprised, she exclaimed:
1.-THE wife of the Premier has no pre-
cedence in England"
So far from giving ladies places on
account of her husbands Office, the
Queen more than once has requested
the wives of her Ministers not to come
to court so often; they crowded her
drawing-room. No wife of a Cabinet
o~tiicer. or judge, or Bishop or memb Der
Of the House OF Commons, or officer
Of the army or navy, however high,
has any rank or precedence in En-
gland because of her husband place.
Hereditary rank is all that women can
claim. The wives of peers are peer
esses, and the daughters and daugh-
t~ers-in-law Of a nobleman take rank
according to his degree; but no others.
But although he question Of daugh-
ters never rises in English official
precedence, it has come up in the dip
lomatic corps more than once Of late
in London. When it happened that
the United States Minister had no wife
the Queen invariably refused TO allow
his unmarried daughters to present
their country women at court. Il
American ladies were to be presented,
some English or diplomatic matron
always performed the ceremony. But
more than this, the exact question that
arose in Miss Bayard's case was set.
tied by the Queen. The Dean of the
diplomatic corps for many years was

dor. a widower with four charming
daughters. among the most brilliant
members Of the English court.
These ladies', or their father for
them, claimed the preference a. all
court ceremonies which heir mother
would have enjoyed; and, as their
father was Dean. this would have
placed them at the head of the diplo-
matte corps. Now. in England, the
diplomatic women rrecede the men,
and at drawiu-.rooms 60 into the
royal presence in a body before the
highest English ladies, even the Duch-
esscs. Thus, if the ~prctensjons Of the
Turkish dcmoisclles had been adj
mitted. they would have been the very
firstin the landin point of precedence;

doris and Eavoys disputed The claim

HOW TO BE A POET.
Tricks Of tho Trade Only Learned by
Years OF Experience.

Years OF Experience.
When l first determined to become q
poet l used to lie beneath shady trees
on pleasant hillsides and dream the
day away. ! would be a poet. !
would not write for publication. My
sense was too sound to be exchanged
for wretched gold. would be a poet
for my own qualification. Well did l
know that should any mercenary pub
Usher discover that l was writing
poetry my life would be rendered mis-
cradle by the demand for my work.
Ash say,l used to idly dream, and now
as my thoughts go back can remem.
Der the first poem that l really loved.
1t began:
Now the leaves are slowly falling
And the meadow lark is calling,
Calling, softly calling to his gentle mate,
Telling her the year is dying
And the time has come for flying.
Flying. quickly flying to some warmer State.
! cherished this poem IN my bosom
fully many a day until n day an un-
worthy idea came into my brain. What
if l should send it to u publisher. How
would it look in print. This base idea
grew on me more; day after day it
would come up in my mind until |
could stand the strain no longer, Isent
it. l got it back again. The poem
was accompanied with a polite note
from the editor saying that he was
sorry, but that his paper was a strong
Northern paper and the words "warm-
er State leaned too much toward the
South. l felt badly about this but l
determined that no fawning publisher
should get the best of me. / would
turn that poem into a humorous ef-
fusion and let it appear in some funny
paper. l sat down and changed that
poem. 1t read:
Now the leaves are gently falling,
Let them fall.
And the meadow lark is calling,
Let him CALL.
To his noisy, senseless, restless little mate,
But Susannah Jones' lover,
Let him love.
Near her side will cease to hover,
Cease to hover.
For her papa and the bull dog guard the gate.
l sent this poem away fully know.
ing that had done violence to my
feelings. but did it for revenge. The
publisher had once refused me; they
should 10Y observe my power of sar.
casm. wait ed several weeks with.
out hearing from the publisher but ut
last the poem came back. 1t was &C.
companied by a second polite note
saying that the poem was good. but
almost too pathetic for their purposes.
l got mad then. proposed to have
that poem published il, as my friend
VIM. NJ. Evarls would say. it took a
leg. | went at it again and did get it
published. Not only that, but it filled
my pockets with shckels; and though l
may not have as much fame as l hoped
| should, Ihave more food. The poem
in its revised form was:
| Now the leaves are slowly falling,
On the cold. damp ground,
And the meadow lark is calling
Al he hunts around
For his hoarse, and choked-up chilly, little
mate.
II you'd keep in good condition
And avoid all earthly ills,
