Ceased to Be MousefS,

'There is family of cats at my house
that sustain the theory of heredity," said an
amateur naturalist "The first of the trioe
that l became acquainted with was Of OBJ
scure origin The most diligent herald would
have hard work to trace her family for many
generations back. But though she was of
lowly birth and had no silver spoon in her
mouth when she first cried NEW she had
what in cat was better-an Unsuitable long
ing for mice. Her appetite for such small
deer was unappeasable, and in week after
she was brought home there was not a rodent
in the house. Those mice that she did not
catch fed from her as from the glance Of
destiny and were seen no more in her do
main.
''Au you had to do in order to test her
blood was to make scraping noise resem-
bling the gnawing OF a mouse, at any point,
and she was on the alert instantly and ready
for spring. But in time she had all the
mice eaten or banished, and her practice as a
mouser fell into innocuous desuetude. She
waxed fat, lazy, luxurious, and would scarce
~ eat any food less delicate than q sparrow,
for which she developed strong propensity.
In time she presented her proud owner with
a litter of young ones possessed Of all their
mothers beauty. The family survived the
dangers of juvenile CAT life, but when they
grew up to the age Of discretion, behold they
were as ignorant of their duties in respect of
catching mice as though they were lambs.
No imitation Of mouse noise stirred them to
action; they never prowled, with cautious
tread, in places where mice most do congre-
gate. The whole lot Of young ones are not
worth a cent, except to catch flies and spar
rows. lay it all to the fact that the mother
had given up housing before she assumed the
cares of family, and her progeny lost, or,
rather, failed to inherit the instinct "-Roch-
ester Post-Express.

They Tried It on the Dog.

By medical student: Do you know DR..
Moyerl He is one Of the lecturers at our
school. One day last week he had been talk
ing on the effects of sna,sthetics on people
and animals. In the course Of bis lecture ne
told Us if we would get dog and try this
effect upon it, and bring it in, he would e1-
plain more fully. That night committee on
dogs was appointed. and 1t succeeded in bring
ing in a fine one We proceeded to do up the
dog, and the following day we dragged the
animal into the lecture room and laid it on
the table. A few minutes later the professor
came in, and as soon as he saw the dog he
threw up his hands. We had killed his dog,
and it was favorite with him, too. But he
proceeded with the lecture. Somehow don t
think that lecture was quite up to his usual
standard. But we couldn't blame him We
offered to buy him another dog, but be de-
cined.-Excbange.

appearance in the ranks Of the rising genera,

effectively with the prevailing types In the
generation which was passing from the stage
As applied to Bazaroff, the skeptical, material
lstic, iconoclsstic surgeons sou In Turgenef's
novel, the word "NIbilist' had . natural
appropriateness WHICH the Russian public at
once recognized. There we're differences OF

class as that represented. By Bazaroff really

term as applied 10 that particular character

word "Nihllst," however, was soon caught
up by the conservatives and by the Govern,

them as an opprobrous and dIscrediting nick
name to all persons who were not satisfied
with the existing order Of things, and who
sought, by any active method whatever, to

Ing Iadian scouts, is now q, 238, = number so
insignifcantly small in comparison with tie

Europe smile. 1t should also make American
tar payers smile, though from very
different feeling. This American
freedom from the excessive taxation and mill Z.

due less 10 any considerations Of economy on
the part Of Congress than to our fortunate
position. II, instead Of having such peaceful

THE president has entrusted the Sc
crets of his message to congress to a
lady, who writes it from his own rough
draft, and furnishes only the number
of copies absolutely necessary. 1t has
been the custom to swear several print
ers in the government printing office to
secrecy, then lock them up while they
printed it, but with all the precaution
possible, the message has usually ap'
peared so far in advance that the presi'
dent could deliver it from stereotype
