"a CONTEMPLATING CAT.
The Wonderful Intelligence of Gam
bler's Feline Pet.

The Wonderful Intelligence of Gam
bler's Feline Pet.
In high-toned gaming-house at
Wichita, Kan, a correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat was lately
introduced to a sagacious cat that for
the past few years has proved a verita-
BILE bonanza to his master. The animal
belongs to professional gambler
known from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and goes by the euphonious name Of
Pete.
For centuries monkeys have made
not only their own living but have fur
nished many a meal and countless
nights Of good lodging, to say nothing
about the incidentals. for the swarthy
sons of sunny Dagoland, but it has
hardly been suspected that cat could
take the place Of the monkey.
Pete plays cards, or at least takes
such part in a poker game as entities
him to a rake off. When he was young,
obscure and waif the gambler, of
whom he is now the constant compan-
ion, and who would as soon be without
his wad as without his talisman-for as
such he regards his pet-found him in
a gutter in San Francisco and adopted
him. Taat was eight years ago.
The superstitious master. like such
distinguished poker players as the King
Of the Sandwich Islands, had an abid-
ing faith in the efficacy of stroking a
cats tail as a means of changing luck,
and for this purpose Pete was con-
slant visitor to the gambling houses
frequented by the sport. EARLY in his
business career Pete learned what some
men never have sense enough to under
stand, and that is, that it pays to be
both obliging and pleasant, and he
cheers many weary soul by the anus
ing way he has of Strengthening up the
"thrown down" hands.
He invariably squats on the corner Of
the table, and when it comes to a ''show
down" and the chips are raked in, Pete
then commences to get in his work for
himself and his master. He extends his
tail to the loser, who will, if he is a
genuine gambler, invariably take hold
of it and shake it. AT the conclusion of
this ceremony Pete reaches out his
paw, picks out red chip if a white one
is lot handy, starts to the bank and
gets it cashed and then returns to his
master with the tin"
BY this Napoleonic method of tinan~
ciering Pete usually manages to rake
in from one dollar to three dollars a
night, and he has enough accumula~
tions to keep him in Incidence and
luxury during the rest Of his natural
life. While not depraved, Pete is fond
of his beer and generally disposes
of "a couple of glasses during a nights
session.

1t is very curious study to note the
variety of feminine mentation in
the different nations, and how what
may be considered as g. beautifer by
one race becomes a positive monstros-

One Of the most curious decorations
in the world is adopted by the women
of the Manganja tribe, inhabiting a
country in Africa near one of the north

called the ''pelele.' This is ring but

metal or bamboo, according to the
wealth of the wearer; is nearly an inch
in thickness, and varies in diameter &C

nearly three inches in diameter from
outer edge to edge.
When the girls are very young they
have the lip pierced with two holes
close to the nose, and a small wooden
peg inserted to keep the wound from

js1nall holes are left in the lip, into
which larger pegs are successfully in

ifull-sized "pelele" can be worn. Its eff

When at rest it hangs down over the
mouth; when food is taken it projects
horizontally, like a small shelf, and

Antiquity of the Indians.

i, Henshaw, of the Archaeological So
iciety Of Washington, declares that the
languages of the Indians of this coun-
try, of which there were fifty-eight lin
guistic families and 800 languages and
dialects, north of Mexico, at the time Of
the discovery of America, are none of
them related in any way to Asiatic
tongues; also as to the origin of the
Indian, it must have been in ages SO far
removed from our own time that the in
terval is to be reckoned, not in years Of
chronology, but by the epochs of geol-
ogic time.

WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.
Some of the Things Which Deter Them
from Entering Such a State.

Some OF the Things winch Deter Ehem
from Entering Such a State.
There are three general causes which
bring marriage into disfavor with
women): philanthropy, higher edaca~
ton and self analysis, writes Mrs Kate
Gannett Wells in the North American
Review. The first has been powerful
factor in it's subtle influence against
permeated with the idea Of responsible
ity for another''s happiness. Woman
now feels herself accolin ia BILE for the
welfare OF humanity, and through the
exercise Of that responsi bility has found
occupation for mind and heart, which
has prevented absorption in her own af-
fairs.
Higher education has affected mar
rage, inasmuch as it has opened new
avenues of employment for women, has
fortified them for life as a whole, and
has led them to regard marriage as an
incident. 1t has given girls a COM
munistic feeling which makes them
prefer to teach where there are other
teachers rather than to live on a hill
top and read aloud to their parents, or
to retire to Il farm or d tenement and
bake and brew for their husbands. The
higher education has separated mar
rage and motherhood Almost all
women love children, and would gladly
use their knowledge for the delight and
profit of a family, but they do not want
the intervening marriage.
Analysis has advanced from being a
method in textbooks to the study of
ones self The age is analytic. Once
work was so constant that married
women did not realize their loneliness or
the want Of appreciation which befell
them. Now society and the middle
states of mental solitude, and to see
just where husbands are wanting.

II have heard and read many pa.

Washington Star reporter recently,
shut none of them ever awolxe Sc much
sad sympathy as one which Prof.
Gallaudet related the other day. The
professor has favorite pupil, a little
deaf mute boy who is exceptionally
bright. Mr.. Gallaudet asked him If he
knew the story of George Washington
and the cherry tree. With his ni1nble
fingers the little one said he did, and
then he proceeded to repeat it. The
noiseless gesticulations continued until
the boy had informed the professor of
the elder Washington's discovery of the
mutilated tree and of his quest for the
nauti]ator. When Georges father
asked him who hacked his favorite
cherry tree signaled the voiceless
child, George put his Ratchet in his left
hand Stop interrupted the pre-
fessor. Where do you get your author
ity for saying he took the Ratchet in his
left handa' Why responded the boy,
who knew nothing of speech, he needed
his right hand to tell his father that he
cut the tree.'''
