The Kitten Will VOuch for This

One the seventh floor of the St. Cattle
rine flats, at Fifty-third street and Madi-
son avenue, particularly pretty Nal
tese kitten has the good fortune to live.
Her favorite snoozing place is on the
seat of one of the windows overlooking
the court yard. This window happened
to be open for a few minutes the other
morning, and the kitten, quite carried
away by the novelty Of the idea, stepped
out upon the window ledge to take a
cats eye view of the yard below and the
surrounding country generally.
An instant later her paws slippo.
from under her upon a piece of ice and
over she went. she fell trihe of some
six stories and then landed feet fore
most just upon the extreme edge of the
roof of one of the outbuildings: But so
terrific was the force with which she
landed there that she bounced from off
the roof like a rubber ball, and after
this instant's respite continued on her
headlong journey toward the ground.
She landed on her feet again, shook
herself for moment just to see that
she was all there, and then giving vent
to a faint vowl of triumph, as one would
say, Flows that for high?" picked her
way toward the house again with de-
ightful air of nonchalance and totally
oblivious to the fact that she has only
eight lives left to her credit.-New York
Evening Sun.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1891-03-12
Sreed in Ocean Travel.

"The great drawback" said Mr.. Rich-
srd, one of the agents of the Hamburg
American Packet company, ''to crossing
the ocean quicker than we do at present
is the expense of coal. More powerful
engines could be built which would in
crease the speed, but these engines would
require so much more coal. The steam
ers Of the Hamburg-American Packet
company now consume about 80 to $50
tons Of coal day; if $50 tons were
needed daily, these steamers would be
run at loss, for, besides the cost of and
the valuable space required for the addi
tional 100 or SO tons Of coal, more en-
gineers, more stokers, etc., would be
needed. But if we went to an unlimited
expense for the most powerful engines
in the world the gain of time in crossing
the ocean would not be more than eight
or ten hours, SO long as coal is used.
81 have great faith, however, in cleo
tricity some day or other taking the
place of coal for the propulsion of ocean
steamers, and when that is brought
about they will be run much cheaper
The weight Of the coal does not make
the steamer slower; that has nothing to
do with it. Sometimes a weighted
steamer goes faster than one that is not
weighted, all depending upon the wind
and weather.
"SteamerS can never go as qulL i~r.s
locomotives, because they have to con-
tend against water and air. whereas the
railroad cars have only air as resist
ance. Assuming the maximum speed of
q locomotive to be about sixty miles an
hour over short distances, it may be said
that it goes three times as rapidly as a
steamer, although the average time made
by the faste7t limited express train is
only twice the average time made by a
fast steamer. Epoch.

She Had to Wash the Pets,

A curious case Of special interest to
elderly spinsters and lovers of house pets
is shortly to come before the Berlin
courts. A young woman was engaged az
companion to an old lady at stated wages,
but ran away from her place two days
after entering service.
Her mistress procured her arrest under
the law that servant must give due no.
tice before leaving her situation, but the
police, after hearing the girls statement,
told the lady that she could not compel
the girl to return, and could only claim
damages in the civil court.
For the girl stated, and her statements
have been proved true, that on entering
the lady's fat four immense dogs jump
ed at her, although they did not do her
any harm. In the next room another
big dog, with a litter of pups, met her
gaze, while the third room was tenanted
by at least three dozen different varieties
of birds
The kitchen of the old lady was given
over to cats, and the girls sleeping room
was converted into temporary hospital
for invalid members of the animal world.
''The old lady" said the girl, ''was
very kind to me, but as my duties con-
sisted in washing all the dogs daily, and
I had to share my bed with half dozen
dogs and cats, I was obliged to run away
to avoid sickness. London Telegraph.

low form Of seI1snDess, curaDIe onIy
by punishment, whether the natural
punishment of starvation or an artificial
one. The man hates the self suppression
involved in work j|1t as savage does,
but he can suppress himself if lie chooses,
and invariably does choose, if for any
reason he passes under the terrible
though avoidable discipline Of convict
prison. The compulsion which usually
falls upon the idle takes the form of bad
food, bad lodging and want of tobacco,
and it is not sufficient
Such wants are all horrible things, but
they are none of them so horrible as
steady work, which presses and tortures
and almost maddens the really idle, just
as civilization, which is its essence, is a
multitude Of small restraints, does the
savage. They will not put up with the
suffering for the time necessary to teach
them that it is endurable, and will
rather break away into the desert, often a
street, where there are only bread to eat
and water to drink and no shelter, but
where there also is no work to do.-Lon-
don Spectator.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1891-03-12
An illumination.

Our esteemed contemporary falls into
a vulgar error when it says that the
young lady who is to wed the Rev.
Thomas G.. Milsted is to become that
worthy gentleman's helpmeet. We OBJ
ject to the word ''helpmeet." The only
excuse for its use is it's usage by and
among ignorant people.
When God saw that it was not good
for man to be alone he said, 81 will
make him an help meet for him" These
words, recurring in holy writ, have been
COMPOUNDED by the careless and the un-
thinking, and the result is that abomina-
ton ''helpmeet."
Christ babe the Pharisees and Saddu-
Gees ''bring forth fruits meet for repent
ance." If we are to have helpmeet, why
should we not also have fruitsmeet?
The confusion of ideas induced by the
juxtaposition of certain words is felici.
tously illustrated by the old story of the
pastor who, rising in his pulpit, said:
Brethren, [ take for my text today a
part Of the fifteenth verse of the thir-
teenth chapter of the gospel according tc
st. Mark, 'Topl1not, so DOWN. "-Chica.
