ssNo," said Barney, you're a good little
fellow; I'll take it out myself" and
then he handed the boy the nickle.
After the boy had left Barney ATTEMPTED
to unload the sack but the wild thing
tore dash down the back of one OF his
hands and then lit on his head and re-
peated the operation with her hind feet
on his face. Then she escaped and
jumped on the shelving of the store
scattering Barney's tin ware right and
left and finally wound up in corner be-
hind heavy stove where she remained
for three days without food, mewing
every little while as if in pain. At last
Barney, fearing the thing might die with
hunger, got the help of neighbor to
move the stove, when he discovered for
the first time that the cat had about half
yard of string hanging out of her
mouth This led to an investigation
which resulted in the discovery that the
boy had baited a fish hook, on the end of
string and throwing it in the way of the
cat she had snatched it up in her mouth,
only to be snatched in turn on the end
of the hook. After the boy had caught
the cat in this fashion and finding it
impossible to go near her without being
scratched, he drove nail in slanting
position into neighboring wall and
placing the string back of the nail he
wound the cat up till he had her swing
ing in the air. Then he took hitch on
the end of the string and getting a sack
drew it up round the cat and after she
was safely enclosed in the sack he cut
the string and there she was. Barney,
not wishing to kill the poor thing, good
naturedly called in the aid of neigh
boring druggist who put her under the
influence of chloriform while the fish
hook was cut out of her jaw. Sayre's
uncle demonstrated with the boy for his
cruelty but he only answered with sur
prise "Hurt her? Why you can't hurt
them wild cats.''

PROSPECTS OF RECIPROCITY.

Under reciprocity treaties made and
being made with foreign countries, the
United States will get exceptional ad-
vantages in one fifth of the worlds avail
able trade.
The worlds trade in 1889, according
to MulhalPs dictionary of statistics, was
$15, 1856, 900 900; two-thirds of this Is in
Europe, or $l1 $50, ,OOO, 900 and no sane
man looks on the trade of Europe as in
any sense available. England, with the
advantages of 500 years of manufactures
and accumulated capital, has one-third,
or $500, 900, 900 and nearly all the rest
is protected by tariff.
There remains in the world at large,
says the Philadelphia Press, as the field
of growing and increasing trade $3,715,-
100000, divided between Asia, Africa,
Australia, and North America, outside
of the United States. OF this field
which is the world 8 open market-$73O,- :
900, 900, or one-fifth, is in South America,
Mexico and the West Indies. This is as
large commerce as that of India, as
large as Canada and Australia put to-
.gether. 1t is at our doors, and it is the
only great tract in the worlds trade to-
day living open to our advance.

the free use of straw for repairing streets
and roads and contends that where this

in the finest roads in the world, solid,

How Little Sayre Rinehart caught cat
With q Fish Hook.
Little Sayre Rinehart, the eight year
old son of DR.. Rinehart of this city is
developing precocity of inventive gen.
ius that, if the boy is spared will one
day make him a man of mark in the
world. A short time ago he spent a
while at the residence of his grandfather,
in Summerville, Union county. While
there his gran father and uncle used to
frequently give the lad small pieces of
money which, of course he religiously
devoted to candy, of which, like all other
boys, he is very fond. One day he ap-
preached his uncle for 'bit" where
with to buy his favorite relish, when the
uncle, to get rid of him carelessly said
so, have got no bit for you. If you
want a bit go and catch one of those cats
and sell it, pointing to a litter of half
grown cats that belonged to the house
and that were as wild as domestic cats
could we'll be. The uncle thought moth
ing more of the matter till about an
hour after when the boy approached
"Here uncle, here's a cat, now give me a
bit for it,, The uncle said ssI don't
want to buy cat,'' and thinking to
have some fun with the boy, he added
There's a man over the way wants to
buy cat You go there and he'll give
you good price for it. The boy went
as directed, only to find that the man
had just bought a full supply of cats''
but there was another man, little far
ther down the street who wanted cat
and hither the boy went, to meet with a
like disappointment. At last the lad
was directed to go to the tin store of a
good natured German, named Barney
Hubert and as he entered the store he
said Mister do yon want to buy cat?''
Barney said How much do you want
for the cat?n The boy answered "a bit

Comic Things About Wires.

Attention has recently been called to
the fact that out West the red cedar tele-
graph poles are often attacked and rem
dered useless by the borings of the wood
pecker, which not only uses the pole as a
kind of apartment house but makes it
into granary also. Some poles have had
as many as 700 holes, large and small,
made in them. In Natal, South Afri-
ca, corresponding trouble has resulted
from the ingenuity of bird whose eggs
had hitherto been eaten BY snakes. 1t
seems to have struck the birds that the
snakes could not climb the smooth poles
as easily az they could the trees, aud 50
there has been an emigration to the
poles. A singular fact is that, since
making this change of base, the birds,
which had placed the opening of the nest
at the bottom, to render entry by the
reptile difficult, have now, under the
safer cond iuons, reverted TO an earlier
practice Of leaving the oriice in the side.
It is stated that in Brazil, the telegraph
wires have suffered from the growth
around them of orchids. Similar trouble
has been experienced in other tropical
regions from the tricks of monkeys,
which have not only used the wires as a
free gymnasium, but have tried their best
to undo the painful work of the lineman
and constructor. But, after all, the
monkeys swinging from the wire by their
tail: and cracking cocoanuts on the in
sulators, find their rivals in some of our
sharpshooting cowboys, who, when feel
ing specially festive, will ride across the
plains at full tilt, aiming as they go
at the glittering glass knobs of the teIe-
graph line, which, of course, soon sue
cumb to few volleys of this searching
nature.-Ne~ FORK Commercial Adgertis-

The Food Value Of Wheat.

When wheat is low and corn high,
says L. d. Pierce, there is often a narrow
margin between the two. If the wheat
is of poor quality, or for any reason
grades low, the difference is still less,
and when to this is added the price of
grinding the corn, or the milIers profit
on wheat ofal, some farmers figure that
it is poor economy to sell wheat and buy
feed. Why not feed the wheat2 thev
ask, aud some do. This would be sound
reasoning were the feeding value the
same. know nothing of the physiology
or chemistry OF the matter, but it is the
testimony of those vino have tried that
wheat has not feeding value equal to
its price. A friend bought 900 bushels
OF wheat from a burned elevator to feed
to hogs. 1t was but slightly damaged,
yet the result was such that he said he
would rather have wheat offal, ton for
ton, than whole wheat If we study the
matter from human dict standpoint, we
find that white wheat -four is mDhatical-
ly the food of brain workers. In spite
of all written about graham, cracked
wheat, farinose, etc., its use does not in
crease as fast rs the population. The
higher the civilization the greater the
demand for the finest flour. Between
the products of the inside aud the out
side of wheat there is a great gulf, and
this divides the human race from the do
nestle animals.-Nsto York Tribune.
