Puss II All Right.

Tho cat has ever been regarded as
mysterious creature and has Of a conse-
quence been Stunned, as amateur swim
mcrs avoid deep holes. by tho youth Of
our land In their literary efforts. Tho
dog and the horse are notoriously what
are termed "old stand bys' as subjects
for composition, but it is noteworthy that
the cat, though even moro familiar TO all
than either of tho aforementioned ami
mails, is neglected in all Friday afternoon
literature. The kitten is much beloved
by reason Of its frivolous and gay nature.
Its propensity to amuse itself with any
light object or, in default of other mov-
ables, its own fleeting tail endcars it TO
all young persons, but there is an un-
natural gravity and air Of absorption in
deep philosophical matters about tho
mature cat which Is forbidding, not TO
say awe inspiring. Itmay be that its un-
canny nature has caused 1t TO be associ-
ated with witches. Certainly its habit Of
being out at all hours Of the night gives
color TO the suspicion that 1t is q baleful
beast. A cat acts as IL it knew that the
disclosure of Its secrets would result in
death to all Its kind at the hands of an
enraged humanity. Now there is some
thing frank and open hearted about a
dog. Hc may bite an enemy, but cat
will scratch its dearest friend A dog
cannot keep secret. A cat never tells
one.-Chicago Mail.

lilies and Wolves,

When visiting friend last summer he
called my attention to a curious plan for
preventing the plague Of flies in his
house. The upper sash of one of tho
windows in his sitting room being open
for ventilation, there was suspended out
side piece Of common fishing net. My
friend told me that not fly would ven-
ture TO pass through 1t. He has watched
for an hour at time, and seen swarms
fly to within few inches Of the net and
then, after buzzing about for little, de-
part. He told me the flies would pass
through the net il there was a thorough
light-that is, another window in the
opposite wall. Though the day was very
warm, l did not see q single fly in the
room during my visit, though elsewhere
in the town they were 10 DO seen in
abundance. Isuppose they imagine the
net to be spiders web, or some other
trap intended for their destruction.
My friend mentioned the curious fact
that in Russia no wolves will pass under
telegraph wires, and that the govern
ment are utilizing this valuable dis
covery, and already clearing districts Of
the country from these brutes.-Notes

The Paris ExecutiOner.

! There has been considerable talk about
Deibler's want of dexterity in dispatch
ing Prado. After every execution we
hear the same thing, for Deibler IL a
little, hesitating man, with anything but
an impressive way of doing business.
His appointment as executioner caused
many heartburnings, for, when Helm
drichs died, there were 300 applications
for the post. Deibler has married the
daughter Of Roch, the previous "Nion-
sieur de Paris" He had also served as
assistant to Hendricks. and had made
several important improvements in tho
mechanism Of the guillotine. Consider
ing his familiarity with blood, he /. Is a
very nervous man, and he has never for
gotten Tropman's biting of Hendricks
fingers during the operation Of adjusting
the lunette. The fact il that 1t Is very
difficult in tilting the bascule to 80 work
II that tho neck Of the condemned man
falls exactly into the hollow Of the
lunette so that the blade should strike In
the right place; but Deibler was only
quarter Of minute in fixing Prado,
though, no doubt, it seemed much longer
to tho waiting crowd, and to Prado.--

Extraordinary Canine Devotion.

The residence Of Enoch McMahan, an
old and highly esteemed farmer, near
Anderson, Ind, was burned. All the
family, except the old man, were away
at singing school at the time, aud he
perished in the flames, his half consumed
body being dragged from the burning
building with poles by the first persons
to arrive after the fire was discovered.
1t has been q question as to whether or
not the old man was murdered and the
house robbed and burned to conceal the
crime. Leastwise, when tho neighbors
gathered they found Uncle Enoch's dog,
Mingo, bowling dismally about the
burning building, and from that day to
this the faithful animal has never left
the place. The house was never rebuilt,
and no one has since lived ON the farm,
yet "Mingo" fingers about the ruins and
until recently slept in rain and snow.
For months kind hearted people carried
him food and water, and they built him
q comfortable house On the spot where
his master was burned, and like a hermit
he stays there day and night, despondeut
and melancholy. Indianapolis News.

Is found In maintaining a speed Of fifteen
miles an hour. A Science representative was

carried over tho road from Fourteenth to
Fiftieth street at speed approaching twenty

easy, and there was nothing but tho entire
