HLREDlTY IN CATS.

the Animals Inherit
Why does a cat walk around upon the
hearth-rug for about five minutes be-
fore he takes his seat? I'm sure-as
the English people say don't know.
A neighbor of mine, says a writer in
the Chicago Journal, was watching his
cat going through the gyrating prelimi-
naries the other evening, and he told
me what he believed TO be the truth Of
the matter. He says he got his facts
from Darwin, | nope he does; but as
the children in the seventh reader say:
''One cant most always tell" 1t seems
that eat belongs to the leopard, pam
Their and tiger race, So that no amount
of domeStieation has been able to eradi-
cate inherited tendencies. The animals
mentioned live in the woods-when
they are not in the geological gardens
and they have no hired helpto prepare
beds for them. When ready to go to
rest they have to find fallen leaves and
tree branches not well assorted They
tramp round and round on the spot
where they propose 10 lie until it is re-
duced TO the necessary condition for a
couch. Our friends cat was Just carry

cuRlNG A SNAKE BITE.
One Case m which whisky Proved I'm

One Case N which whisky Proved En-
cacious.
An old hunter had been shooting
prairie dogs. on which there was a
bounty Of ten cents per head In max
ing his morning round. say, the Louis
vile COurier-Journal. he would pile up
the dogs he had killed in one place, go
on 10 another place and make another
pile, and 50 on until ne was ready 70 re-
turn. when he would skin each dog and
take his skin to camp. A RATHER was
concealed hcneath one heap of dogs,
and as the hunter was pulling ont dog
the snake bit him on the arm twice. He
at once FASTENED toward camp, a mile
distant, having previously taken the
preeaution to bind his handkerchief
above the place bitten and around his
arm. and twisted it as tight aS possible
with his rife rod.
He was quite sick before he reached
camp, so that he was obliged to rest
several times. In his tent he always
kept a cure for snake bites in demi-
john. On arrival, for once in his life,
he really had a good excuse for getting
drunk, and started in in earnest. When
he felt the medicine beginning to work
strongly on him he loosened the BAN
age on his arm, allowing the blood from
his arm to circulate, having the effect
of at once SOLDERING him up.
Letting the good work go on. he again
resorted to his demijohn. this time keep
ing it up till he was gloriously drunk.
Shortly afterward his partner, return
ing, wished TO send for doctor, but no,
he said: Il am all right" In a few
days the swelling went down, and, ex-
cepting a little sickness at his stomach
at times, he was as well as ever. Asked
if the bite Of the snake was painful, he
described it as the singing of hornet,
only hundred times worse.

BOSTON CULTURE.
Its Lack Was Apparent in the Major oil

Its Lack Was Apparent in the Major on
Visiting Chicago.
Residence in Boston does not. of itself,
argue the possession of culture, as a
Boston man proved to his own intense
satisfaction. The Traveller thus tells
the story:
The major had much fun with the
conductor of the grip" or cable car,
which he boarded at State street
This ear to Washington street," he
asked, meekly, of the conductor. The
latter took his little dog whistle from
between his lips only long enough to re-
ply:
Cert" and then placed the whistle
back there again. The abruptness of
this response to civil inquiry encour-
aged the major to again test the con-
ductor's vocabulary, which he did with
the following result:
Il believe the fare is five cents?"
Correct"
May | smoke on this seat?S'~
Sure"
Il believe State-strset parallels the
lake?"
Bet yer life"
Does this car go near the Union de-
pot?'
'Nixey."
The conductor blew his whistle and
punched up his fares, all unconscious of
the sport the major was enjoying at his
expense.

weighed about twenty-five pounds and
had fifteen rattles.
