MR. PORTER PRAISES HIS WORK.
In This Matter, Which Examplifies the Old
But Truthful Saying That Self
Praise Is No Praise.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The superinten~
dent of the census has submitted to the
secretary of the interior a report Of the
operations of the bureau for the six months
ending to day. On the subject of the app
portlonment of Representatives in Con-
gress, Porter says the apportionment of
Representatives to Congress was not de-
layed moment by the failure of the CEN
sns office to have the official returns of the
population on the converting of Congress.
Ii the apportionment bill which passed the
House should pass the Senate and become
law, superintendent under the eleventh.
census would be about tive years earIiey
than any heretofore made
TN the subject of farms, homes and
mortgages, etc, Porter says: s'The work
accomplished by this division up to date
may be briefly stated as follows The
NUMBER OF counties IN which complete
abstracts have been made is ?, US; number
OF counties in which abstracting is un,

United States, IS2. Number of counties
IN which supplementary work won't be
done, owing to incompietness of abstracts

stracts were made, S5l5,j I5. 1t is esti-
mated that the number of mortgages for

gagged. While the facts obtained by this
investigation will throw new light upon
the subject of mortgage Indebtedness, and
while the material gathered bids fair to be
far more complete and far more reliabIel

FREAKS OF CATS.
One Nurses a Rabbit, Another Wood

One Nurses a Rabbit, Another a Wood
chuck, and Another Plays the Plano.
This year has developed some queer
traits among the animals in Connecti-
cut A. L. Olmstead, q Moodus mar
ketman, has cat which gave birth to
three kittens recently. Evidently
thinking her family too small for her
capacity as nurse, she left her box
and went over to a neighbours rabbit
warren, where she found young
bunny, and taking it carefully by the
neck carried 1t to her home. She has
fully adopted it. nursing it at the same
time with her kittens, but she can't
understand why the young animal
doesn't play with her tail, as his foster
sisters do.
Gelston Mitchell, also of Moodus,
has cat which is even more odd than
Mr. Olmstead's. She has taken to her
affections young woodchuck which
Mr.. Mitchell captured several weeks
ago. She allows the woodchuck to
nurse with the kittens, and the mother
cat ticks him and makes his toilet with
the same impartiality she exhibits to-
ward her own offspring.
Another cat story comes from
Bridgeport mike" is brindle puss
belonging to Miles B. Ferris. Twenty
eggs packed in sawdust were standing
in the window of Mr.. Ferris saloon,
when Mike took it into his head to go
to sleep on them. Every attempt has
been made TO drive him away from the
box, and every inducement in the way
of soft beds was offered TO him, but he
persists in lying on those eggs all day,
only leaving them long enough to eat
and drink. Next week the period Of
incubation will have expired. What
Mike will do with his brood, if he is
successful, is an interesting question.
But perhaps he knows what he is
about and is Matching them for his own
especial benefit.
Milton Moshier of Shelton heard
sounds from his piano the other morn
ing and knowing that no one was in
the room he began TO be q believer in
spirits. On investigation he found his
cat prancing up and down on the key
board, seemingly delighted at the
sounds produced. After that she was
watched, and whenever the piano is
left open she will play TO the best Of
her ability.

A Oneer Pct

The Biddeford, Me-, Journal has
found Saco lady who has very odd
pct in big garden toad which has for
three years passed his existence in the
lady's front yard. No dog ever knew
his master or mistress better than this
toad does the lady of the house. When
she puts in appearance the toad in
variably comes out from under the
step to greet her and blinks wisely and
attentively as she talks to him, but
should any other person or voice in
trude upon the scene, Mr.. Toad quick
ly retreats TO his abode under the
steps. During one of the hot days the
lady went out into the yard to water
her plants and the toad promptly ap-
peared, wearing an Enthusiastically OPP
pressed aspect. 1t seemed to the lady
that he was begging for shower bath
and she gave him one. She says that
the toad actually smiled his gratitude
to her and sang contentedly until she
left him. Upon warm days since the
toad has had as regularly for his
shower bath as the plants have for
their sprinkling.

Slams Sacred Elephant.

The sanctity of a white elephant
dates from the earliest period of Bud
dhist history. One of the proudest
titles of the king OF Siam is Lord OF
the White Elephant In 1882 q real
white elephant, one who excelled all
of his fellows in beauty, was brought
into BankOk with all the pomp and
ceremony that could possibly have at
tended the arrival of an emperor. He
was quite an albino, the whole body
being Of pale reddish color, with a
few white hairs on the back. The iris
Of the eye, the color OF which is held
to be a good test OF an albino, was a
pale naples yellow, in fact, more red
than yellow. The next day he was
blessed and baptized in the presence
of the king and all the nobility. One
of the high priests Of the ceremony
then presented the sacred beast a piece
of sugar-cane, on which was written
the elephants name in full. The
beast readily devoured it-proof that
he had accepted the honors conferred
upon him. The following is transla-
ton Of the inscription that hangs over
the stall of this sacred Siamese ele-
plant; This elephant is lineal de-
scendant of the angels of the Brahmins.
A perfect beast in color hair and nails;
a scion OF high and noble family;

BANKER ST. JOHN.

Banker W. ?. st. John Of New York
thinks that to open the minis to equally un-
restricted coinage Of gold and silver is the
proper policy for the United States to adopt.
Mr.. st. John quotes in support of his opin-
ION eminent professors OF English colleges
VINO have written or spoken in favor Of free
coinage by the United States at all hazards.
While the United States is getting little
shy Of the advice Of European political econ
omists, il Is well 10 give due consideration
to their views. Mr.. St. Johns present
proposition is that silver bullion worth in
gold about - cents shall be coined and de-
clared dollar without other restriction
than IS placed upon the coinage of gold
bullion worth in gold 100 cents. Mr.. ST.
John will hardly contend that the opening
OF the American minis to the free coinage
OF both metals will at once bridge over the
gap between the market price OF the two
metals. What then will be the relative
value of the dollars of the two metals while
this difference exists? Is there any hope
that the equality Of dollars will be main
tanned in the face OF % per cent difference
IN the value Of bullion. with no restriction
on the coinage of one metal that is not
placed also upon the other? Is it presum-
able that the owner Of 500 worth Of gold
bullion would exchange il for the same
number Of dollars that the owner of SIS
worth Of silver bullion would get for his buI-
lion? The immediate effect Of the unrestricted
coinage of silver would be the removal of
gold dollars from circulation Gold, whetb-
er in the form of coin or bullion, would be
held at premium approximating to the
difference between the market value Of sill
yer bullion and the market value of gold
bullion. 1t is possible that in the course of
time this premium would disappear. Under
free coinage silver may rise to parity with
gold. But meantime debtors having obliga-
tons payable In gold would be compelled to
purchase gold at the market price. The
present silver policy of the United States if
persisted in is as certain to cause the appre-
citation of silver to parity with gold as free
coinage would be, and it avoids the disturb
ance that must attend the temporary adop-
ton Of the single silver standard. All the
silver the country now produces. above that
which Is required for other purposes than
