Cat Bites.

Cat bites" said DR.. Gibier, Of the
Pasteur institution, ''are much more
common in Paris than they are. here.
Since l have been in this country |
have treated only two persons who l
had reason to believe were bitten by
mad cats.
lin Paris mad cats are almost as
common as mad dogs. People are
often bitten by them while returning
from the theatre. The cats shun the
light and take refuge in dark Railways.
The noise Of the people cropping their
way up the stairs late at night stirs
the animals up, and often they fly at
the faces Of their disturbers. Before
Pasteur, many people died in Paris
from hydrophobia resulting from cat
bites. But hydrophobia whether
caused by cats or dogs. is far more
prevalent abroad than it is in this
country. New York Sun.

At one O'clock in the morning the village
was still astir, and hardly house was

rode into Scarth Abbot and up 20 the
Grange with the joyful news that Hassan
had galloped into the courtyard half An
hour before. The animal must have gone
miles down the river before he could lind

washed away by the food, and he had
made his way unerringly to his home.

cannot call the handsome Sir Philip the

the sunshine while riding round the court
yard on Hassan's back. The noble animal
seems proud Of his tiny burden, as If he
knew that he was carrying the heir of an
ancient race and his loved masters son !;
and the golden-haired mother looks OH
