Performing Cats.

Those persons who believe cats to be
incapable of profiting by education would
change their opinion if they could see
the exhibition of performing cats in
Paris, France. The skill and docility OF
the little animals are truly wonderful,
and would, even in dogs, be considered
a proof of great intelligence. The cats
are concealed in two small wooden
houses or kennels, which stand opposite
each other, with u row of fifty chairs
between them. The performance begins
by the trainer tapping on the roof of one
of the houses. Immediately cat
comes out of the door, and, after being
stroked and patted by its master, leaps
to the top of the first chair and then
goes lightly and gracefully from one
chair to the next, stepping only on the
backs, until it reaches the other house,
into which it retires. Each cat does
this in turn, and then two cats cross the
chairbridge in opposite directions, one
going over the tops as before and the
other passing along the hotizontal bar
just below.
Long, wooden planks are then laid
over the chair backs, and number of

tervals, and the cats wind swiftly in
and out between the bottles without
missing one or knocking one over. A
still greater difficulty is presented by
small, wooden disk being placed on the
top of each bottle and cat stepping
from one to another, while other cats
follow the serpentine walk among the
bottles below. Chairs and planks are
then removed and a number of trestles
set up between the two houses. The
cats leap from one trestle to another
with the precision and agility of cir
cus-rider. A large wire hoop, wrapped
in tow which had been soaked in alcohol,
is held up and set on fire, but the pro-
ccssion Of pusses, nothing daunted, leap
through the flames obcdiently. Tight
rope dancing is the next performance,
and number of live, white rats placed
on the rope receive no attention what
ever from the cats. Il Farm and Fireside.

A CABBAGE ROMANCE.
What Some Big California Vegeta-
bles Lead To.

Romance and the rose 90 hand-in- hand
and the dainty violet and the modest lily
have often opened the portals of love,
but it has been left to California to pro-
duce the only cabbage that ever led to
real romance that wound up in we'd
ding.
Eighteen months ago, according to
the unquestionable statement of Gran
vile w. Alexander, grain merchant in
this city, there stood in front of the door
of one of San Francisco's real estate deal
ers cabbage from San Bernardino
county weighing ninety-two pounds, and
said to be the largest ever raised While
this production of California's greatness
was on exhibition the Oregon express
landed from England two Britons, so
flesh from their native soil that they
walked along the dry and dusty streets
with surtouts down to their ankles and
their trousers rolled up to meet their
coats. They were both bound for Aus
tralia. Passing along they espied the
wonderful cabbage. Both men stopped
short Up went two single glasses.
"By Jove, old boy, but that's doos-
cdly large cabbage, doncherknow."
"Doosedly large" replied the second
surprised son of Albion, and then they
both went in and inquired of the real es-
tate man where it was grown.
Both men were wealthy. Both men
were cousins, and while unknown to
them the busy hand of fate was now at
work, it only seemed to the curiosity
seekers that in deciding that life would
be misspent unless they saw the land
upon which this cabbage grew, that they
were only obeying the idle whim of idle
gentlemen in going to San Bernardino to
do so. And so they went.
Englishmen as rule are not garrulous,
and these two friends were no exception.
Once in San Bernardino they were di-
rected to the farm where the cabbage
grew. They remained two weeks. At
the end of that time one of them said to
the IaEcher:
81 want so much of your land in a
certain section. How much is it worth?'
"Four hundred thousand dollars"
1t was paid for. The other friend
said to the rancher:
Your daughter is very beautiful, and
| love her. l want to make her my
wife"
Two months ago there was wedding
at the ranch. There were number of
people present, friends of the family,
and the groom threw aside his taciturnity
long enough at the supper table to tel
how the big cabbage had led to his hap
piness.-L San Francisco Chronicle.

Historians always stop to describe
the dying of Wolfe and Montcalm, the
two opposing commanders in the battle
of Quebec But their deaths were simply
heroic compared with the Christian death
of Stonewall jackson.
About 1.3O on the day of his death he
was told that he had about two hours to
live, and he answered feebly but firmly ;
"Very good; it is all right"
A few moments before he died he
cried out in his dclirium; "Order A. P.
Hill to prepare for action. Pass the in.
fantry to the front rapidly. Tell Major
Hawks" then stopped, leaving the
sentence unfinished.
Presently a smile of ineffable sweet.
ness spread itself over his pale face and
then he said quietly and with an ex,
preston of relief 4" Let us cross over
the river and rest under the shade of the
trees" And then, without pain or the
least struggle, his spirit passed. III Phila

The Effects of Forests.

At the international Agricultural Con
oress. at Vienna, one of the first papers
read was by NJ. Prosper Demontzcy, "on
the Prevention of Torrents and the Reaf-
foresting of Mountains" in which he de-
scribed at length the experiences OF the
Forest Department of France, of which
he is the administrator. He pointed out
the importance of assisting nature in re-
storing the forests which the seltishness
of man had destroyed, thus creating
real dangerto the public, and urged for
esters to perscvere in their efforts, not
withstanding the indifference and oppo-
sition which they at present met with.

of the Munich University dealt with the
hygienic importance of forests, and sum.

the voyage six cases of cholera occurred.
This led to the ship being detained in
quarantine at the great Red Sea port for
ten days. When this period had
elapsed another case was declared, which
involved a second quarantine. BY this
time the period of the sacred ceremony
of walking round the Kaubah or temple
of the Prophet and kissing the black
stone said to have been given by an an
gel to Abraham was at an end, and the
poor pilgrims having spent all they had
upon this pious duty were compelled to
return as they came. 1t is painfully sig
nificant that the Deccan brought back
122 persons less than she took out. A
similar incident, it is said, has not oc-
CURED for halfa century. 1t is regarded
by the faithful as a visitation of Divine

THE STORY TOLD ANEW.

In the dusk and down a lane
Two walked, hand in hand, together;
Blew the wind and fell the rain,
Little needed they the weather.
Cold March winds might storm about,
Warmth within mocked cold without.
Had the road been paved with gold,
They had never seen simmer;
Had the stars left heavens high fold,
Night to them had grown no DINNER
Earth, unto its widest hem,
Consisted of four feet for theml
What said he to make her start,
Flush and glow with a sudden pleasure?
What could cause the woman5 heart
Then to beat faster measure?
Why did eyelids, prone to rise,
Hide the light OF glowing eyesP
Twas the story told anew,
Old, but never antiquated;

just the case so often stated
Just the same in every wise,
AS once was told in Paradise
