Twenty Tons of Elnbalmed Cats.

A startling sale has just taken place in Liverpool. It consisted of an auc- tion, held by Messrs. Leventon & Co.,, csnsignees, of 18O,000cats. They rep resent, Tn fact, little less than twen- ty tons of Egyptian history; little less than twenty tons of the household love and tile muslc of the great, stcried, and pyramided cat farm of antiquity, the Nile empire of twenty centuries gone hy. Their discovery is an interesting story. It was made by fellah. who, while employed in bus bandry, fell into a pit. This pit had an opening, and he entered the open ing. A subterranean chamber devel- oped itself, followed by other subter- ranean chambers. All was silent, strangely silent, for a temple of even cat ghosts In these chambers were laid away, shelfon shelf, and pile on pile, small yellow bundles There were limitless bundles stretching through the gloom of seemingly end less mortuary halls. He unwrapped one and found it to be cat. They were all cats, embalmed, swathed, and wrapped up like mummies to protect them from the cold and microbes of later and degenerate eras.
 Satisfying himself of the extent of the cat mine, he told hls master. His master presumably wrote to the edi- tor of the Luxor Answers to Core spondents" to ask hlm confdentially what he would do with 1S0,000 cats if he had them, and by this means the master came into conference with an Alexandrian speculator. The specu- lator found that the supply already exceeded the demand in the cat mar ket, but tired Liverpool as a venture. The British merchant met the expec- tation, and promptly offered them as fertihzing material for farms.
 The consignment represented only the amount left after the Egyptian farmers had glutted themselves and their lands with the tabbies which laborers dug out by hundreds of thou sands. The cat cemetery had long been suspected as existing, and Its dis covery created no small excitement in Beni Hassan, about 100 miles from Cairo. where it lies.-London edition N. Y. World.

George Kennan, the Siberian trav- eler. author, and lecturer, Is one of the most fluent, interesting, and inexhaus- tiblc onversatioualists. The Russian exile system is he subject nearest his heart and he never tires of discussing 1t. Ills conversation is animated, his words we'll chosen, and his style we'll nigh perfect. After listening to his c5nversation one would not imagine that he spends hours polishing the sentences of hls magazine articles and lectures. He goes over hls work again and again until he Is absolutely con tent with even it's rhythm. No one who has talked with Mir. Kennan would question for a moment his sin cerity. His eyes fill with tears as he speaks of the friends he made while in Siberia and of their sufferings. He keeps up constant correspondence with the exiles by the underground system. Major Pond says that Mir. Kennan is by far the strongest draw ing card Tn the lecture field to-day Current Literature.

NIunicIpaI Gas Works.

is 1t better for town to own it's gas works? MT. Bronson Keeler discusses this question in The Forum:
 In Europe it is as common for cities to own gas plants as it is for them to be the owners of water works in America Without exception, the result is favora- b!e. Eight cities in the United States own their gas plants. Four of them are in Richmond, Danville, Alex a1S:ria and Charlottesville. The othe-n are Philadelphia, Bellefontaine, O.; Wheeling, w. Va, and Henderson, Ky. The prices range from the highest, S1.Gs at Alexandria, to the lowest, at Wheel ing, 75 cents per thousand cubic feet.
 The gas works at Wheeling the writer considers a model of excellence. What a city can do with her own plant is well shown here. The municipal authorities bought the gas works of Wheeling in 1868 for SlT6, 6,000. Gas was then S2.50 thousand. From the profits, under city management, debts were paid and the works rebuilt with modern improve ments without taxing the people dollar The plant is now worth half million. The product has been lowered to seventy five cents per thousand, and the streets, the markets, school and engine houses, all the public buildings and the Young Mems Christian association are lighted free of charge.
 Yet the Wheeling gas works in 1888 turned into the city treasury net profit of S27, ,l66 The Wheeling rate for gas is the lowest in the Union. It is because the works are out of debt, and there are no dividends to pay to stockholders. With modern discoveries and improve ments the manufacture of gas is becom- ing constantly cheaper. The prediction is made that in a few years it can be manu- factured to sell for 9 cents per thousand. Then, or even when it comes to be as low as 50 cents, it can be used for fuel the country over. Mir. Keeler finds there can be no such thing as competing gas companies. Customers who do not like one company, in the nature of things, cannot change to another, unless they move their houses. Moreover, a gas company never yet was started to compete honestly with another. The new company is always founded to blackmail the old company into purchas- ing it, just as parallel railway line is constructed.

A Darney Butt, an OK to Death.

To win wager of $5, "Blg Six" a negro pugilist of considerable local reputation, few days ago butted an OK to death, at Birmingham, Ala. The OK was 3 years old and well grown. The negro caught the animal by the horns with hls hands and but ted it between the eyes. When their heads came together the noise could be heard block away Four times in rapid succession the colored giants head struck the OK squarely in the forehead with terrific force. Then the animal began to reel and stagger, and, gathering himself for final plunge, Big Six" drew back a full arm length and ran his head agalnst that of the OK with the force of battering- ram. The animal fell to the ground and Tn five minutes was dead,
 There was small lump on "Big Six's" head, but he said he felt no pain whatever. Big Six is about 5 feet 10, and weighs 240 pounds. On his arms, shoulders and chest the muscles stand out in great black knots. He IS a giant in strength, but knows noth- ing of the science of pugilism. Ills strong point in fight in hls tough ness. It seems almost impossible to hurt him. For glass of beer he will break piece Of scantling over his head, and for half dollar will butt the head out of an empty beer keg.
 For five years Big Six has met and defeated all pugllists who came here and cared to try their powers on him. No negro can be found in this sectien who will face him. Probably the best fight of his life was when he knocked out Mervine Thompson, of Cleveland, O., in three rounds Tn a glove contest at the Casino Theater last December. Thompson struck him some terrible blows on the neck, face and body, but none of them staggered the black giant; while right-hand swing by Big Six caught Thompson in the ribs, lifted him off his feet, and lad him senseless on the stage,
 Big SIX" was recently offered S20O to go to Louisville and face Peter Jackson four rounds, but he refused He works as a common laborer at the brewery. He was for a tune employ ed as driver, but was too brutal. Il mule or horse angered him he would knock the animal down with one blow of his big fist.

The Suicide Club.

Wendell Baum, the secretary of that unique organization, the Bridgeport Conn. Suicide Club, has fulfilled the membership agreement by killing him. self. The history of this astonishing society is one of intense interest to the student of morbid psychology. Four years ago five citizens of Bridgeport, all Germans, met one day when all were rather low-spirited, and, half ln jest, organized the Suicide Club. The agreement was that one member of the club should end his life that year, enc the next. and so on until all were gone. This agreement has thus far been faithfully kept. When the an- nual meeting was held in January there were only two members to at- tend 1t, the secretary and president. It was proposed at this meeting by the secretary that the President should make away with himself during the year, and by the president that the secretary do so likewise. There beng no better way to settle the question, it was mutually decided that the polls be held open until a new member was pledged and initiated. A letter car rler named Mayby talked seriously ot becoming a member, and the president and the secretary had great hopes ot him until one morning it was learned that he had committed suicide without first joining the club. He carried, hew ever, a handsome silk umbrella, whict he bequeathed to the secretary of the club, Wendall Baum. But the longer Baum carried the umbrella the more unhappy he became, and when hi, friends tried to cheer hlm up he sad "A cloud hangs over me. I an doomed. |"
 Finally he sold his property, turned the money over to his wife and gay, the umbrella into the charge of ; friend, directing that it be sent to tn, president of the club. He then cut hls throat. The president of the clul isanOw the only member left, and an other year will show if he keeps hi oath.

No less than 4,965 papers daily make their ap- pearance in the world. Some of these appear Tn two or three languages, one of them generally being English. Fifty-nine different languages are em- ployed.

Walking Clubs.

How can nature take care of us if we ever go to see her? She cannot; that is plain. It is a thought that is at last be- ginning to percolate the brains of many town people. We live and thrive by the workings of nature within us. Unless we go out now and then to sojourn be- heath thesum and sky, and to be in touch with mother earth herself, we can have no long continued well being of soul or body.
 Mindful of this, city and town people are forming walking clubs. They take what they call cross country walks. A party of pleasant acquaintances, whose days are doomed to be spent behind desks and within walls, meet at an early hour of the morning at a designated spot and take train to station few miles beyond city pavements. There they leave the cars and start on their walk. It is anywhere from ten to twenty miles long. Dinner is taken at some pretty rustic inn, where cream, fresh eggs and milk are plentiful. Sometimes a lunch Is carried along. In every case the cross country walkers provide abundantly for inward refreshments.
 Men and women both go in the walk, ing parties sometimes, though often each sex tries it alone. Sundays and holidays are chosen for the walks usu- ally. The route is selected beforehand, sometimes on level roads, again in a hilly country. The walkers gain a knowledge of scenery and landscape, and healtA gracefulness and good looks besides.
