jealousy Guarded Gems.

When the French crown jewels
were sold by auction last season it
is well known that the finest and
most historical of the gems, including
the famous "Regent" diamond, were
reserved, and these may now be
seen in the Louvre in the
gallery called after the well
known statue of Apollo, which
is such prominent object in it.
Before these priceless gems were
exposed, however, a committee of
skilled officials and experts was APP
pointed in order to decide on some
plan for rendering their loss by theft
virtually impossible, andtbis is what
the committee decided upon:
The jewels are exhibited in a
showcase, glass plates OF
which are exceptionally thick, and
the iron framework of which is alb
normally strong, and an attendant
has been appointed to specially keep
watch over the precious exhibit all
day long. Should he have the slight
est cause to suspect any visitor or Wis
itors he has only to touch button
easily within his reach, whereupon
the glass case promptly disappears
from view and sinks into specially
constructed shaft, over the top OF
which the same automatic machinery
causes thick covers, formed of thick
metal plates, to close with a SHARP
snap.
The ingenuity displayed in carry
ing out this plan is remarkable, ano
the fact that the clock work apara
tus has cost close upon $500 will con
vey some idea of its complicated
character.

Slips Of the Tongue.

Metathesis-the transposition of
letters in a words a source of many
clerical mishaps. A writer in late
number of the Spectator adduced
some curious examples of this PERM
cious habit. He cites the case of a
clergyman who, wishing to say that
1--WE all knew what it was to have a
half-formed wish in our hearts," as
tonished his hearers by announcing
that tive all knew what it was to
have a half-warmed fish in our
hearts," and of another, who, having
"started out" to say that "we would
not bow the knee to an idol" arrived
at the conclusion "that we should
not bow the eye to needle"

Value of Intelligence in Horses.

In selecting family horse, the
first requisite is intelligence. If the
animal be intelligent he is pretty
sure to be safe, whereas even agentle
horse who is stupid is always a source
ofpossible danger. He may be so lazy
and lifeless that the most timid wo-
mad could not be afraid to drive,
and yet he is pretty sure to kick the
carriage to pieces or run away when
ever anything breaks. On the other
hand it is almost impossible to scare
a really intelligent horse. He may
be disconnected or alarmed, but he
won't lose his head. 1t is, however,
astonishing how little interest in this
all important question OF intellect the
usual horse dealer takes. The reason
probably is that he feels perfectly
competent to manage any horse, no
matter what the animals character
may be, and he regards him simply
as a beast of burden, and not in the
least as a companion and friend. An
acquaintance of mine sends very
shrewd Jockey to Kentucky for the
purpose ofselecting saddle horse.
He brought back handsome animal,
thoroughly trained and perfectly sat
isfactory to his new owner. But any
body who had studied horses eyes
would have seen at a glance that the
high-priced "saddler" was a fool,
and so he turned out to be, for he was
easily frightened, and finally ran
away and had to be sold in disgrace

REFUGE FOR CATS.
How Philadelphia Has Provided for Her
Decrepit Felines.

One of the most unique of Philadel-
phia's institutions is the Refuge for
Lost and Suffering Animals. more
commonly called the Cat Home" at
No. 1912 Lombard street The
''refuge" does an extensive business
in providing easy mortuary honors for
old, decrepit and vagrant felines, who
are daily dispatched by the fumes Of
charcoal. 1t is a feature of the wom-
ans branch Of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. and is
in charge of Superintendent John G.
West Superintendent Vests report
for 1887 shows that II, 81 cats met
painless death, together with 2,159
dogs, rats. 8 rabbits. 8 canary birds
and 2 chickens. All the latter were
killed at the request of the owners.
Bcarders 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 latticed Enclosure. and. bar
ring the occasional differences that
arise between them. seem TO enjoy their
quarters. When an animal is received
as a boarder its name, if it has one, is
registered, rs is that of its owner, and
all the personal marks and peculiari-
ties it may possess. No responsible
ty, however. is assumed in case Of
sickness or death of the animal in
charge. Any one having cat they
wish mercifully put to death has but
to send word to the refuge and Frank
Ryan, who rejoices in the title of ''cat
messenger, will call and remove the
cat, carrying it away in large bas-
ket divided within by partitions each
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 lare.
1--WE don't kill all the cats. !" explained
Superintendent West. 1--WE often
come across very good animals in
some of the patches of kittens we re-
ceivc. These we always pick out and
experience no difficulty in finding
them good homes. We are frequently
consulted as TO remedies for sick ami
mails and are ofe asked to receive
them at the refuge, but that response
bility we have to decline. This want
has been supplied by the generous gift
of $4,000 by the late Mrs. R. w.
Ryerss, who bequeathed that amount
to establish an iniirmary fol- animals,
which is entirely distinct from the
refuge" -fhildde' phta Inquirer.
