Few cities in the world can boast large,
number of public parks than Washington;
In fact, 1t is said to lead them all. But
many of these parks are mere small tri-
angles Of green at the junction of streets
and avenues. These, of course, all belong
to the United States, and are cared for at
government expense, and the expense is
expensive.

4 Ca, Th., oo.. Fishing.

A very ordinaty-looking and mild
hammered cat is one Of the inhabitants
Of Garry Benson's swimming-bath at
Albany. N. Y. She is the mother Of
. promising family Of three. and to
the superficial observer appears no
more, no less, than a well-behaved.
sweet-tempered, motherly old tabby.
But, as a matter of fact, this cat is
rather an anomaly among cats.
Whether she was born that way or
whether Garry's own nmphibious dis
position is infectious. is not stated.
However she may have come by the
popularity, this cat is an exceedingly
good swimmer and appears rather to
like the water. She sits on the edge
Of the s.crib" at the bath for hours
Watching the little minnows which
swim or are swept by the current In
through the latticed sides. When at
length a luckless fish does come within
the range OF her paw she reaches out
like flash and with one swift sweep
Of her fore paw she lands him on the
platform, where she devours her prey
at her leisure. Or, II the fish remains
just out Of her reach, she will leap
fairly into the water, seize the prize
with her teeth and swim to the side
again. where she strambles up and
shakes herself after the fashion OF
dogs.
And, by the way, says the Albany
Journal, the largest dogs have no ter
rors for her; she win fly at them with
claws extended, and it is q brave ca
nine which dares her fury after the
first onslaught. Yet she is as gentle
as can be with her family or with
kindly disposed human visitors. who
never would suppose het to be the
ferocious fisherman she is.

could not got away. and then. in the
second place, we would run the danger
OF bringing infection to our homo and
undoing all the work that We had done
during the summer. But ono day
took my horse and went in search Of a
physician. I started out in the morn
ing and 1t was nearly night before !
returned with the nearest doctor that
could find. 1t was more by luck than
good management that got this one.
He had been in Jacksonville during
tho first OF the epidemic and had done
heroic work there. But finally he
took the yellow fever himself and had
recovered, but not feeling able to un-
dertake his work again In jackson.
vile he had come up to the
ST. Johns River for a period
OF rest, while he was recovering
from the effects of the terri-
BILE disease. begged him not to
tell my wife that he had had the fever
or that he had been In Jacksonville, and
l explained to him how terrified she
was about the disease. He promised
that he would say nothing to alarm
her. When he saw our little girl, he
looked very serious. It was evident
that she was extremely i'll. However,
he said he thought We could pull her
through with good nursing and atten-
dance. He advised me to keep UP the
quarantine, II possible, more rigidly
than before and to have no communica-
tion whatever with any one outside.
This tended to confirm me In tho wis
dom of the precautions l had taken
during the whole summer, and we
now made our quarantine stricter
than ever. because it was well on to
September and the fever was abating
at Jacksonville. or at least it seemed to
be at that time, although they had
quite siege Of 1t afterwards. The
case Of my little girl was 80 serious
that the doctor stayed right with her
night and day. At last, when she was
we'll again. he spoke to me as we sat
together on the porch overlooking
tho river.
"Look here, are you certain that all
OF you have had just the same trouble
as this little grip"
"Yes," answered, 1--WE have all had
it. but not any OF US as badly as she
has"
SWELL, then." he said, 'if I were
you should call in my quarantine"
why" 1 said, "why would do
such thing as thatP The fever is as
bad as ever in Jacksonville and we are
still In the same danger"
my dear SIR" he said. "each one OF
you has had the yellow fever and didn't
know it, so you see you needn't keep
up your quarantine unless you have
got habituated to It and want TO do It
for the fun Of the thing. You have
had regular yellow fever camp here
all summer, and the chances arc, that
II you had known what It was. some Of
you would have been dead by this
time"
Twas aghast at this and concluded not
to tell my wife and family anything
about 1t until we got north again. And
to tell you the truth. haven't had tho
courage to tell her yet or suppose I
could not have got her down this winter
