SPlkSTERS AND CATS
Much OF Divine Providence In the Stately
Old Maid and Her Pet.

Nature is full OF balance. The ami
NAL world, breathing in oxygen and
breathing out carbonic acid, is bal
anced against the vegetable world,
which selves the carbon from the car
bonic acid aud restores the oxygen to
the air. And in the animal world the
~carniTOrOus creatures are balanced
against the herbiyOrOus on which they
prey, Man steps in and alters the
balance Of nature. He clears the
forests. he Stays the ca%rnivorous crea-
lures for sport, and the herbivOrous
for sport and food. Who can say what
ultimate changes are effected by his
actions? In but few cases a we at
tempt to follow them. Darwin de-
scribe8 n which ! will give in a
somewhat extended form. Who would
think that the force and vigor Of the
English race depended largely on the
number OF old maids in certain dis
tricts? And yet the two are connect
ed in a beautiful manner.
Everyone knows that the character
Of John Bull is mainly the result OF
the roast beef that he consumes. But
the beasts from which some OF the
best roast beef is obtained is fed on
clover. The clover is fortified by
humble bees, which carry the pollen
from flower to flower. The more
humble bees, therefore. the wider fer.
t~ilization. and the better the crops OF
English clover. But the number Of
bees is dependent on the number OF field
mice, which destroy their combs and
nests. The more mice the less bees
and worse clover. Now, the plumber
OF mice is largely dependent, as every
one knows, on the number Of cats; and
to complete the chain, the number OF
cats, it is said, depends on the number
and amiability, or the reverse, Of the
old maids in those parts. Thus, many
old maids mean many cats, and many
cats mean few mice; few mice bring
many bees, and many bees luxuriant
clover; good clover crops mean good
roast beef. on which depends the yigor
and force OF character OF the English
race, who have thus, perhaps, taken
that great cat, the king OF beasts, as
their device from purely geological
considerations. Atlanta.
