Man vs.. Wildcats.

When a farmer at Catskill, N. Y,
went into his barn the other morn
ing, he was startled at seeing pair
of eyes cleaning from the haymow.
Taking pitchfork he rooted out the
intruder, which proved to be an I'M
usually large wildcat. The animal
showed fight, but the pitchfork was a
formidable weapon, and before many
minutes had passed the cat lay dead
on the barn floor. The farmer threw
down the fork, and was viewing his
PROSTATE foe, when he heard a Pc
culiar cry, and almost Immediately
another wildcat jumped from the
NOW above, and began tearing and
clawing viciously at his face and
clothing. The attack was so sudden
that the farmer was quite unprepared
and, though he kicked and dubbed
the ugly brute, the left sleeve of his
coat was torn completely out, and
deep, ugly scratches covered his neck,
left shoulder, and both arms. He
finally despatched the creature.

Catholie.Pretestant Marriage.

The results of the intermarriage OF
Catholics and Protestants are being
Investigated by the Catholic author
tiles of this country under orders
from Rome. Archbishop Ryan, in
common with all archbishops and
bishops, is engaged in the work, and
the result ofhis inquiries will be trans
mitted to Rome. While the Catholic
church permits such marriages I'M
der certain circumstances, its priests
always do all in their power to dis
courage them, because of trouble
that frequently arises between father
and mother as to how the children
shall be raised, and for further rea-
son that oftentimes the Catholic
husband or wife is lost to the church
altogether through neglect to obey
it's laws.
Archbishop Ryan said one evening
that he was engaged in collecting
data relative to the number of mixed
marriages in each parish during the
past 10 years, whether the promises
exacted by the church that the chill
dren shall be reared in the Catholic
faith have been faithfully kept; in
how many cases the Protestant part
les have been converted; if any cases
have occurred where the Catholic apos-
tacized from the faith, and the num-
Der of children who have been lost
to the church through mixed mar
riages. The Archbishop stated that
he presumed that similar efforts were
being made to collect the same infor-
mationi in all the dioceses ofthe United
States.
The request for this information
comes from t. sacred college of the
inquisition at Rome, but it is not
publicly known what the authorities
there propose to do in the matter
The marriage of a Catholic and Pro-
testant is not permitted in any do

Fans an Old Institution.

The Hebrews, Egyptians, Chinese,
and the miscellaneous population OF
India all used fans as far back as
history reaches. Terence, a writer Of
Latin comedies who lived in the sec.
ond century B. e., makes ono Of his
characters speak Of he fan as used
by ladies in ancient Rome: "Take
this fan and give her thus a little
air." From this Roman origin the
fashion of carrying fans was handed
down to the ladies Of Italy, Spain,
and France and thence introduced
into Britain. Queen Elizabeth, when
in full dress, carried q fan. Shakes
peare speaks of fans as connected with
a lady's bravery and fnery: "With
