loose among a variety of manuscripts of
varying degrees of legibility, containing
names of Tom Smith and many others liv-

business as those who are acquainted with
the prairie soil and climate. This, how
ever, as referred to by some of those who
are greatly interested in the bureau comes
possibly from railroad man who does
business with a line that finds 1t more
profitable TO handle passengers and house

only get per cent from some homeseeker

even farther east. The mailing list as has

Where all day long the maple shadows swing,
Alike as speeches., DER the vacant floors

Two Steamer Loads of Cats.

From the Saturday Review.
The Egyptians mummifled mice,
bulls, alligators, and animals gen
eral, partly because they were, as q
rule, gods, partly to supply, we pre-
sumo, the fauna OF Amenti, the home
of the dead. Not long ago a modern
fellah fell into an ancient cats ceme-
terry by accident, and found himself
among the rather CHASTITY feline
mummies of 900 years ago. Then
awoke the modern spirit, chartered
two steamers, and carried twenty
tons of tail-waggers off to Liverpool.
These cats had been divine, all of
them children of Pasht. When they
died the neighbors cried, the family
shaved itself, and went into mourn
ing. At fire the main object of
everybody was not to put the fire
out, but to keep the cats out of it.
"The cats lie covertly in watt"
says the old translatorof Herodotus
"and sodenly coursing toward the
place, mount and skip quite over the
heads of the people, into the fire, at
which chaunce, whenever it comes to
pass, the Egyptians are extremely
sorrowful. A cat dying is solemnly
carved to the temple, where, being
well powdered with salte, she is after
buried in the city ofBubastis" Ifan
ancient Egyptian met friend with
no eyebrows, he knew that cat was
dead in the house, and behaved with
sympathetic solemnity. And now all
of'these hundreds of thousands of
cats, which had been waiting hope
fully till Osiris came again, are to be
made useful. Every one of them was
separately and neatly laid out in his
tight little shroud 1000 years ago.
To-day they are manuare, and the
divine bodies, scattered over British
fields, may effect a saving in guano.
They fetch f3 lbs. Cd. a ton, and
there go to the tons about 5000 of
these minor divinities.
