A CATS SAGhCITY.
Tfo Keene Delight Taken by 1t in the
Killing OF "A YearlIng.

Speaking OF Intelligent cats, we
owed one when we We're Camped on
the Big Sandy river who knew thing
Or two. The Doctor was not hand
some; none of us thought that, but in
a country where one saw only Indians
and coyotes week in and week out,
cat was II good companion for a man
who had to watch the camp when the
others were away with the cattle.
The most noticeable thing about tho
Doctor at first blush was his face and
his eye. There was white spot
over one eye and half OF his face which
made him look like Il baId-faced
horse. To add to the odd effect
caused by this blotch. the Doctors
eyes were OF different color5. One
was green and the other a sort Of
brown. But if the Doctor was not
noted for his beauty he was much re-
spected on the Big Sandy, and no little
consideration was shown him in look
Ing after his wants. 1t is c. 'Fin that
as far rs provisions went he always
Jared better than any man in the
camp.
II there was one thing which tho
Doctor and the rest Of us took lively
interest in, it was the killing Of YEAR
ling to get fresh meat. 1t may be
supposed that fresh meat was not
scarce in a cattle camp. but this was
not true. 1t was not often that the
few men who watched the herd found
time to do any slaughtering. So when
1t was decided to kill yearling there
was an unusual stir of interest among
the men.
The Doctor in a short time got to
know so much ABOUT this operation
that at the first sign of preparation he
gave expression % the widest gleo.
AS soon as one OF the men began to
sharpen his knife the Doctor climbed
a fence post and on top of it began a
series OF crazy antics. He raised his
b'SA' "Ati ib4t otdliliillH tI) Ilht IJOl-
cupine quilts, and howled until the
men started to lassoo ycarling. Then
the Doctor became four-legged fiond.
With wild scream he leaped from the
post and ran before the horses, tum-
bling over and over, clawing at the
ground and tangling himself up with
the horses feet.
But when the yearling was caught
the Doctor became still more violent,
and his actions We're simply demoni-
acal. Not till the yearling was killed
did he become calm, and then the con-
trast was startling. He walked around
the PROSTATE animal with an air Of the
knenast delight, always ending his
celebration BY leaping lightly to its
back and sitting there, purring softly
and looking contonted with the world
and every thing on its surfoce.-N Y,

Cause of Smut in Wheat.

This disease is not due to the w,rrN ~
insects, but is caused by the growth OF
minute parasitic plant or fungus
through the tissues of the wheat stalk.
The dark -colored, ill-smelling powder
is made up of innumerable spores or
reproductive bodies, each of which is
capable of injecting healthy wheat
plant, if it can come in contact with il
under proper conditions. THO only
time when infection is possible is when
the plant is young, and to. guard
against this the spores on the seed
wheat must be destroyed before the
latter is sown. This may be accom-
plished by treating the seed by either

NEW STYLES IN DOGS.
Mastiffs, Bulldogs and Terriers Have
Taken the Place of the Pug.

Now nothing is so scorned as Spitz
or the pug. The huge mastiiT, the
bulldog, the bull terrier or the fox ter
rier are a la mode. The little Blen-
holm has certain cachct, because the
United States is, in roundabout way,
connected with the Marlborough
family. The bulldog. when at all
amenable to the wilcs of mankind, is
gentle and very atfectionate, althOHgh
it looks so wicked. But OF the entire
procession of smart dogs the fox ter
rier undoubtedly, metaphorically ana
really, takes the cake. His body
should be entirely white and only one
half his face and ears should be
marked; his tail should be bitten off
just after his birth, and in time a few
hairs grow on the end Of it that are
plumy in effect. The fox terrier is
Frightfully nervous, consequently he
is not a good dog TO take out driving,
as he wants to meandcr all over the
carriage and have you stop while he
exchanges greeting with any large
dog he may notice on the sidewalk.
He has a weakness for large dogs. If
he goes out for walk he loses no op-
portunity to ingratiate himself with
bloodhounds, mastiffs or Newfound-
lands. His overtures are seldom met
with enthusiasm, and he is apt to bo
sat upon materially after the first
greeting, but this does not Grunt hi
or affect his belief in human nature.
as developed in great size. Men OF
his size he cares nothing for.
1t is at hoE.e that the foX-terrier is
seen at his best He adores children
and spools of thread; he endeayors to
swallow bonnet-pin with the same
ease that he does a chicken bone. Ho
has rooted likes and dislikes, ard he
knows when he is being spoken to
whether his name is mentioned or not,
Just as well as he knows the difference
between ginger-ale and champagne.
He is not greedy dog but he is a
dainty one. He sympathizes with you
in your woe by series of most exuber-
ant kisses, and when you are glad
about any thing he dances about you
wildly, expressing his great glee at
your joy. He will let small child
tear him to pieces, will walk on two
legs or on his ear to conciliate the
baby. but from grown person permits
no contemptuous trihing, even with his
tail. His memory is good. He never
forgets friend or foe, and he has
fine set OF teeth with which to revenge
himself. He is as mischievous as Puck.

These concerns cheat hundreds

Their victims are generally women.
and they are always so shrewd in evad-

take hold OF them. A similar swindlc.
whose success derends upon woman's
dislike to reading legal documents, is
worked by fellows who pcddle rugs
and pictures. They visit houses when
they know no men are about, Offering
their foods on the easiest conceivable
time-payments. After the lady con.
sents to buy, contract, containing
great quantity OF matter, printed very
finely, is presented, and the lady signs
it, assured that it is only matter OF
form. Some weeks afterward she has
learned that she has bought the
goods on quite different terms from
those represented to her, and she has
to pay twice as much as she thought
she would. She objects. but there is
contract signed by her. And the
