For Adoption.

A gentleman living near Allegan,
Mich, relates an interesting story Of
feline sagacity. Some person owning a
cat with three kittens, and desiring to
be rid Of them, took them in bag to a
wood near the gentlenaans house. and
dropped them.
In n short time the mother cat was
seen to approach the house with n kitten
in her mouth. Reaching the door, she
dropped the kitten and retreated to the
woods, from whence sho soon returned
with another kitten; but instead Of leav-
ing it where the first was left, she took
1t to neighboring house, then return
ing to the woods brought out the third
and last kitten, and left It at still an
other neighbor's.
1fe old cat then disappeared, and was
not seen again until it was time for the
kittens to be fed, when she visited each
house, iursed the kittens, and then dis
appeared again.
This course Of procedure she followed
until the kittens were weaned, when she
disappeared, and has not been seen since.
Was 1t reason or instinct that caused the
mother cat to distribute the kittens to
different homes, 80 that all might be
adopted and the lives Of all spared2-

Aacp,s at Stealing.

The native races along the southern
coast OF South America are described as
professional wreckers and thieves. Their
practices are told by the nuthor Of "The
Cruise Of the Falcon" not for commend
alton, of course, but to warn sailors who
may be cast away on those shores.
- Ono sailor is sitting half asleep on his
sea chest, A gaucho comes up and taps
him on the back.
"Bueno, Johnny; bueno, Johnny"
eff you are not off will send q bullet
into you," says Jack.
: "Bueno, Johnny; bueno; till to-mor-
rows" and Off skulks tho gaucho to his
horse, which he mounts. With sar-
donic smile he takes off his hat to Jack,
bids him farewell, and digging his spurs
into the hanks of his wiry little horse,
leans over his neck and Is off ut full gal
lop over the short grass Of the sandy
plains.
At the first stride of the horse, to
Jacks intense surprise, his box is
wrenched violently from under him. He
jumps up, rubs his eyes and before he
can recover his senses he sees his prop
t-rrry rossi.>t, a,a -h,,mning away over the
sand hills Mt the heels of the s~ucho's
steed; for this clever gentleman had
managed to make one end Of his lassc
fast to the handle of Jacks box while
engaged in conversation with him.

Bacilli on n Bald Head.

DR.. Saymonne claims to have isolated
n bacillus, called by him "bacillus crini-
vorax," which is the cause Of alopecia.
1t is, he says, found only on tho scalp of
man, other hirsutc parts OF the body,
and also the fur of animals, being free
from it. The bacilli invade the hair
.follicles and mako tho hair very brittle,
so that they break off to the skin. Then
the roots themselves are attacked. If
the microbes can be, destroyed early in
the disease the vitality Of the hairs may
;oe pxsserved, but after the folliclss arc
invaded and an theffeAs.e.,arss injured
the badness is incufable. The follow
ing is Dr.. Saymonne's remedy to pre-
vent badness: Ten parts crude cod liver
Oil, ten parts of tho expressed Juice of
onions and five parts of mucilagc or the
yolk OF IN egg are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp and we'll rubbed in once q week
This, he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair If tho roots are not already
destroyed, but the application ce tho
remedy must be very distressing to the
patients friends and neighbors.-Medi.

Of railroad etiquette:

of nervous littlo man entering q car

strap to tho great discomfort or oil his

tho seat in front of him left tho car.
Then he turned over the back and put
his feet on the scat and kept on snap

other side got up, walked over, pokcd
the little man in tho ribs with his
finger and said: Mammals little baby
shall have q plaything. 1t shall have
a little rattle and little doll" The
passengers chcered, and tho snapper
got out of tho car as quickly as he
could.
This story reminds us of, what we
