The King. and the Cat

Mr.. and Mrs. w. ID. P. King, of $40 Vir-
GINA avenue, southwest, passed through
an experience early one morning that will
no doubt linger in their memory for a long
time. While Mr.. King and his wife We're
wrapped in slumber at about O'Clock a
large sized cat entered the house
through an open window, it is supposed,
on quiet hunt after the many birds, both
stuffed and alive, which are in the house
While the cat was meandering about the
room Mr.. King awoke, and jumped from
the bed 10 put the intruder out. The cat
darted for the stairway, and as he passed
Mr.. King struck him with his hand, knock
ing Thomas against the wall The blow
aroused all the savage instincts of the ami
NAL, and he made furious onslaught on
Mr.. King, fixing his teeth in his right
hand, decorating it severely, and using his
claws TO good effect on his nightrobe.
The noise of the struggle alarmed Mrs.
King, and she bravely came TO the rescue,
driving the cat away from her husband;
but the savage animal attacked her fiercely
and tore her hand For some minutes the
battle ragged furiously, until Mrs. King
managed to secure a firm hold upon the
cats throat, and choked it until it was in
sensible. Then Mr.. King took il by the
tail and dashed its head against the wall
until 1t was apparently dead Mr. King
threw II into the yard, and after bandaging
up their wounds he and his wife retired 10

morning Mr.. King went to the yard to see
how the cat looked by daylight; but it was

4 Marvellous Rifle

Another repeating rife is that invented
by Corsican, NJ. Luigi, an ex-officer in
the French army, which processes to be an
improvement on the Lebel II is destined
more particularly for volley firing. and has
this advantage, that its magazine, which
may be constructed to hold from four to
five cartridges, can be filed up at once,
without the cartridges having to be insert
ed one by one. as is the case with the Lebel
rifle. A powerful spring worked by the
trigger throws out each empty cartridge
when fired, and simultaneously adjusts
another in its place
The front part of the barrel is separate
from the remaining portion, and after
each discharge is slid back so as To open
the magazine for the election Of the empty
cartridge. 1t is then brought back into
position locked, and the rifle is once more
ready loaded for firing. BY special sys-

Samson and the Jawbone.

In town in New jersey there used to
live dentist whose name was Samson.
As II TO prove that there is something in a
name, this DR.. Samson was a powerful
man, and his mighty right arm never
failed to bring with it whatever his forceps
had fastened upon. "As strong as SAM
son" had a local significance in that town.
1t happened, however, that DR.. Samson
did not like references to the significance of
his name. Like many other men whose
names mean something" he had heard
these jokes until he was heartily tired of
them.
One day a townsman came in who had a
tooth TO be pulled. The patient" was a
foppish, rattle headed fellow, who tried to
keep up his courage by putting on jest
ing exterior.
Now, DOCTOR" he said nervously, 81

The Great Moon Dragon"

II is a time honored belief in Turkey that
an eclipse Of the moon is caused by n huge
dragon which seeks 70 devour it. and in
making the attempt winds his Shiny body
about it, hiding it from terrestrial obServ-
ers. The writer was in Constantinople on
the night Of Aug. y. 1871, the occasion of
the great total eclipse throughout Eastern
Europe and Western Asia and was "A wit
ness 10 the peculiar ceremony Of 'kaki-
mayi-yi,' which was calculated 10 free the
moon from its scaly antagonist. There
was general attempt made to brighten
the dragon by firing muskets and revolv-
ers and by beating upon cymbal=, kitchen
utensils. etc. As i'll times past It was found
that the moon soon showed her face, and
congratulations We're everywhere heard
upon the victory gained. This queer lunar
superstition i lay no means confined to the

The Danger of Too Much Fxercis.

DR.. Patton, chief surgeon Of the National
Soldiers home at Dayton, O., said in an in
terview in Pittsburg the other day that, of
the 5000 soldiers in the Dayton home,
fully ~ per cent. are suffering from heart
disease in one form or another, due to the
forced physical eXertion of the campaigns. -
And he made the prediction that AS large
percentage Of the athletes of TODAY will

victims of heart disease, resulting from the
muscular strains they force themselves to
undergo. As for the likelihood of exercise
10 prolong life, il may be said that accord
ing 10 the statistics of NJ de Solaiville
there are more people living in France to-
day who have passed the age of sixty than
there are in England, the home of athletic
sports. There is probably no nation in
Europe more adverse to muscular cultiva-
ton for its own sake than the French.

Chance for Women in Journalism.

Women make splendid typesetters, good
prorfreaders, good reporters and fair edit
ors. They do not make as good editors as
men, for the reason perhaps that they are
not 81 much in contact with public men;
and this simply because their sex prevents
them from gathering in hotels, clubs, cafes
and places of like character, where men
find il convenient to sit and discuss all
sorts of topics. l see no reason why wom-
en- should not in the near future find daily
