move is 70 teach the cat 10 sit up and beg;
then they must creep through chairs and

Tho professor holds the view Of many
people that cats have no affection at all;
though they are 30 fond OF a single locality
They do al times show signs Of affection,
though nothing like the dog or the horse
Still a eats affection is largely dependent on
being fed regularly. To make a cat perform
in a private room is quite another thing from
making it perform before an audience Still
cats can be trained % care little about an
audience, and TO get over stage fright and
like actors and actresses, they very easily get

that the cats, when once used to il, pine for
it, and grumblo about want OF appreciation

Ii is true that in those earlier ages men

they die for them in this age. Every

fidelity 10 ideas The poor switchman
that last week leaped on the railroad

train and flung two little children from

died because of his idea Of duty. Ii was
not his duty 10 fling away his own life
for that Of others, but he thought 1t was,
and he did il. Self sacrifice, unseliish-
ness Of the highest and nOblest sort, Is
not of any particular age, but OF all ages.
The spirit Of compromise is the spirit OF
selhshness. and il Is not an exclusive
growth of the present time.
Indeed il would De difficult, if not i'm

Ii Is not only in this country, but in all
countries, that benevolence flows in

Tie land is thick with great charities.
We need but look about any great city

broad and deep the stream of charity
flows. 1t is epitomized i'll scores Of In
situations kept alive at q most enormous
cost for the helping Of those who need
help; there are hospitals, homes, asy-
lums, refugees, schools numberless, which
all represent the worlds unselhshness,
its liberality and charity. This age is
not worse but better. than those which
went before it, because there is ever
potent spirit abroad in it helping and
improving it. Religion, education, social

A letter written in 1892 by the Duke
of Wellington contains a piece of advice
which might really De laid 10 heart by q
good many young men and others anX-
i0us TO improvc their fortunes. The duke
was writing 10 a Mr. Foster, clergyman
in Ireland, and porsuading him not to
emigrote He insisted on the sacrifices
which men must make who cmigrate
and goes on 10 say: My opinion is, if
those who 60 abroad and still moro those
who 60 10 the colonies 10 economic,
would submit 20 make the same sacrifices
as home as they must make abroad and
an the colonies they would find that they
could subsist as cheapiy, particularly in
Ireland, as they could either abroad or
in the colonies. The fact is that men
cannot bear those sacrifices in the pres
enceOf their neighbors and friends which
they do not scruple 10 make before
strangers, on I'm a forest or swamp, or in
"a desert in America. boston Herald.
