A Cat Trap.

Over in certain west side neigh
borhood the residents have been great
" ANNOYED by q horde of bowling cats,
and as poison, bootjaclSs, soap dishes
and other bric-a-brac have proved un-
availing in attempts to arrest the
plague, tho people have been at loss
what TO do. Finally an inventive
young man arranged trap which has
proved highly effective in some cases.
He first spent some time in fixing up
an artistic wire moose, and this he ar
ranged over pulley in the she'd just
back Of his house.
1t was SO arranged that cat pok.
ing his head through the moose would
spring the trap, and a ten pound dumb.
bell on the other end of the wire would
descend and jerk the offending feline
up toward the roof. In day or so
the remains of the animal would be re-
moved. At first it was difficult to get
the truant cats TO poke their heads
through the deadly moose, but a lady
who lived next door, and was in sym.
pathy with the movement, furnished
a little catnip, and this was sprlnklcd
about the trap. It was great bait, and
already eight cats have climbed the
golden stair via the deadly wire route.
The name and address OF the young
man is withheld out of respect for the

Tho praircs of the west are great

graph operator. II used to have a
Station out in Nebraska, right out in the
open prairie, and the way the wind
blew there was caution But it was
a lucky wind for NE. At station
about thirteen miles west my girl
lived, and, as l had no Sunday trains
or business of any kind, used to 60
up there and stay over Sunday.
"But a livery horse from Saturday
night to Monday morning cost me too
much money, SO l rugged up sail on
an old tic car. All l had to do on
Saturday night was to hoist my sail,
push the tic car out On the main
track, and in less than an hour I was
at my journeys end. For moro than
a year 1 went to see my girl every
Saturday night by means OF that sail
car. Pretty sleek, wasn't it9'
YES, pretty sleek. But you don't
mean to say that the wind blew in the
same direction every Saturday night
during all that time2''
"Of course | don't"
"Wcll, how did you manage on
those nights when the wind blew in
the other direction2'
easy enough. I had another girl
at a station fifteen miles cast. "-New

How Backward China Is.

The verbs have no lenses, there is
nothing to mark transitions of time,
or, indeed, of place. It is only by per-
sistent questioning that one gets the
clew to the labyrinth and at every
question your Chinese friend gazes at
you with a bewildered look as if you
had lost your senses. Any idea what
ever comes asa surprise to the unedu-
Gated Chinese, and it takes him an ap-
preciable time to get such intellectual
forces as he has into position to be
used. His mind is like rusty old
smooth bore cannon, mounted on a de-
crepit carriage, which requires much.

To Cure ChiIblains.

The following is a certain cure for
chilblains: Steep thirty capsicums or
chillies in double their weight of rec
titled spirits of wine, keeping them in
a warm place for a week to make a
strong tincture; then dissolve gum
arabic in water to about the consist
ency of treacle, making the same
quantity as the tincture; stir both to-
gether with a small brush until thor
dughly mixed, when the preparation
will appear cloudy and opaque. Then
take some sheets of tissue paper, coat
one surface of each with the mixture
and let them dry, after that give an
other coat. If the surface is shining
when that has dried, enough has been
applied; if not, third coat is neces
sary. The paper thus prepared is to
be applied like court plaster to un-
broken chilblains. 1t soon relieves
the irritation and pain, and rapidly
effects cure.
Where ehilblains are broken, they
should be poulticed, and relief is often
found from the application of glycer-
inc. A good wash for hands affected
with chilblains is made by adding
three parts of sulphurous acid to one
part of glycerine and one of water. 1t
should be made UP by chemist and
labeled "Poison.o For unbroken
chilblains the following also is useful
lit should be. applied night and
morning: Sal-ammoniac, one ounce;
glycerine, one and a half ounce; rose
water, eight ounces; shake till dis
solved. Mustard and water is also
good remedy. For broken chilblains,
CT those with a tendency to break, the
following is of service: Tincture Of
catechu, two fluid ounces; honey, one
ounce; water, seven ounces; mix and
rub on.-Exchange.
