Capt. Luce's Cat.

To appreciate story told by Capt. j. L.
Luce, a well known lake captain, it is neces-
sary for the general reader to understand
that wreck found floating at sea is pro-
nounced a derelict, the property of any one
who will take her to port, unless some living
creature is found on board. This creature is
generally dog, a cat, or a bird, though why
a captain should take a cat-an animal that
has natural antipathy-on board with him
Is unexplained. Capt. Luce tells a story of
cat that nearly saved for him ship in which
he was interested about eight years ago
This was fine cat, black one that had
sailed with me for several voyages We
were wrecked off the coast of Newfoundland
and deserted our vessel She was subse-
quently picked up and lowed toward harbor
This cat was on board and consequently
saved tho property, excepting salvage, to the
owners. Another storm was struck and the
vessel went to pieces on the coast. The mate
was the only man who escaped. He went
ashore on a piece of a mast with the cat
clinging to his shoulders. When he was
thrown up among the rocks the feline skipped
off, and we never heard Of her afterwards
She propably concluded that she had had
enough OF the sea. Chicago Tribune.

GRAFTON, and carry on the above calcula-
ton to the time of William the Conqueror of

Now, supposing we make the usual allowance
for the crossing or intermarrying of families
in a genealogical line, and for the same per-
son being in many of the intersections of the
family tree, still there will remain a number
at that period even TO cover the whole Nor
man and Anglo-Saxon races. What, there
fore, might have been pious, princely, kingly,
or aristocratic, stands side by side in line
with the most ignoble, plebeian or democratic.

Dividing the Estate.


A large part of the estate of the late Ed
ward Richardson, of Vicksburg, consisted of
thirty seven plantations. There are five
heirs 10 the estate, four sons and one daugh-
ter. A novel method was adopted TO make
an equal and fair division of these planta-
lions among the heirs. Five lists were made
out, with the names of seven plantations on
each list, so selected as to make each list as
nearly desirable as any of the others The
lists were numbered and corresponding num-
bers placed in hat. The parties in interest
drew the numbers from the hat, and each
took for a share the list of seven plantations
belonging to the number drawn. Every one
was satisfied and pleased with the result, az
Mr.. Richardson had left his affairs In good
shape and had shown such good Judgment
in his investments that all the plantations
are desirable and profit paying property
The Refuge Oil mills and Wesson mills are
still undivided, the heirs equally sharing in
the profits.-San Francisco Argonaut.

headed a line of five from the cemetery The
osculatory proceedings were stopped and a
lady made for the car

as he spitefully pulled the bell, show some
women think they can stop a car while they
kiss all the neighbors."

Something In the Name.

The old name of "Pile of Bones Greek, !"
given to a tributary of the Qu' Appellee river,
in the northwest, is the translation of Was
cana, and that is said to be a corruption Of
the Cree word Oskana, meaning "bones,"
and owes its application to the fact that a
huge 'pile of bones" of slaughtered buffaloes
had been raised by the Indians, who were
wont to dry their winter meat there, and
who believed that the living animals would
visit the place where their bones were treated
with respect. -Moutreal Gazette
