Mrs. platt,s Correspondence.

Mrs. Thomas G. Platt receives many
more letters than the ex-senator. Most
OF them come from unfortunate and i'm
pertinent people, who want everything
mortal can want. Money is the gen
eral demand. Other supplicants want
assistance in getting employment, pro-
motion or transportation. Some want
autographs; others politely ask for let
tiers of introduction to the families of
the cabinet officers, president or senator's;
others beg for sufficient influence to get
a precocious son or aspiring daughter
admitted to an educational dramatic or
musical organization.
Among the requests for material aid
are calls for books, old clothing, second
hand furniture, wash boards, tubs, type
writers and toys. She is asked to sign
leases, buy stock, advance capital, take
subscription books, purchase poems,
stories. pictures and souvenirs, and go
security for rents. household supplies.

Cats as Chronometers.

An acute observer of contemporary
life remarked the other day that the
typical cat devoted each one of his nine
lives solely to the cultivation of his voice.
The statement, although obviously ex-
aggerated, serves very we'll to convey
the impression which the cat has made
upon those who know him best. The
weasel having largely supplanted him as
rat and mouse exterminator he has
come to be regarded as an animal of leis-
ure, much given to music, but bearing
few or none Of the practical burdens of
existence. But attention has lately been
directed to the fact that. the Chinese use
cats to tell time
A Celestial who was asked what o'clock
it was took up q cat and examined it,
and replied that it was two hours past
noon. On being asked how he told time
in that way he explained that the pupils
of cats eyes were largest in the morn
ing, and that they gradually grew
smaller as the light increased till they
reached their minimum at noon; that
then they began to widen again till at
night they once more became large

Early Minstrel Shows.

1t was in the early ffties that minstrel
shows first became so popular in the
States, and in 1857 Jack Raynor, who
used to be middleman and bass singer
for E. P. Christie when his troupe
played in old Mechanics FALL ct No. 472
Broadway, New York, started the first
Christie minstrels in London. Raynor
is one of the few old timers still alive,
and he lives in Paterson, N. j., to-day.
Another of the old leaders to the front is
Dick Hooley, who used to be with
Campbell's for years and afterward run
a minstrel theatre of his own in Brook
lyn What's he doing now, d'you say?
Why, it's the same Dick Hooley, of
Hooleys theatre, Chicago, tod&y, and
the same Cool White that was middle
man and stage manager of the Hooley
Opera house of the war times, is mana

When Railroads Lose Money.

For the personal damages to passengers
on the West Jersey railroad at Mays
Landing the company paid out $S1, 900,
and got off very luckily, as there were
nineteen deaths and twice as many in
juries. Such terrible accidents as that
at New Hamburg, on the New York Cen
trail, or at Ashtabula. on the Lake Shore
road, cost a company a fortune and Sc
riously impair dividends. Generally the
companies are glad to settle in such
cases, and are able to secure favorable
terms on condition of prompt payment,
especially in cases where claimants are
poor and DESTROYS of avoiding protracted
litigation. But where claimants insist
on enormous claims the litigation is both
costly and protracted, and is seldom sat-
isfactory to either party.-Tnterview in

Characteristic Autographs.

Count Enzenberg, the Hessian charge
d affaires in France, had one hobby-the
collecting of autographs of famous men.
On one of the pages of the Hessian's al
bum the statesman Guizot had written:
"All through my long career l have
learned to forgive much and often, but
to forget nothing"
The sentiment is not Christian one,
nor is it notable for its worldly wisdom
1t is strange that Guizot, who was a pro-
fessed Christian and reputed to be world
!: wise, should have written it. His
rival Theirs must have noticed the in
consistency, for underneath it he wrote:
"a little shortness of memory cannot
detract from the sincerity of forgive
ness"
Bismarck, while Prussian ambassador
at Paris, being asked to write something
on the same page, wrote:
"As for myself, existence has taught
me to forget many things, and to get
myself forgiven for great many more. :"

He Wished She Was a Centineda


A party was given in St. Louis to
which was invited noble but bashful
cowboy.
He was good looking fellow, and one
of the young ladies present kindly took
an interest in him and tried to make him
feel at ease. He fell desperately in love
at once. and the hostess, noticing this,
encouraged him all she could. In leav-
ing the house the young lady who had
taken a friendly interest in the cowboy
forgot her overshoes and the hostess told
the young Lochinvar from the plains
that he might return them to the girl if
he wished
The herder leaped at the chance, and
presented himself in due time at the
young lady's house. She was surprised
to see him, but greeted him cordially.

package.
She thanked him and opened it. why,

Expected Shakespeare.

George Moore, the English disciple of

ton of "Othello" was being rehearsed at
the theatre. He called one morning

Photography Applied to Surveying.

Surveyors are becoming more and
more indebted to photography for the
way in which it facilitates and improves
their work. For reconnaissance the cam
era offers some pleasant features. The
public is always anxious to know what
an engineer is doing with a transit,
but if he has a map of the country and
an aneroid in his pocket, SO that, by
fences or otherwise, he can tell pretty
nearly where he is, he is only an anna
teur artist, making views of scenery,
and the farmer is not suspicious that he
wants to run railroad through his corn
crib Such pictures as may thus be Sc
cured, understanding used may help
to decide where line will probably be
best, so far as the general features of
the country are concerned.
Progress is the order of the day. It
is not long since the engineer who used
a camera to take occasional or semi
occasional records of the progress of his
work was looked upon as putting on airs.
Now, however, the blue print and the
camera come in very handily, so much
so that it is not the engineer who uses
them, but rather the one who does not,
who is the exception. The engineer is
not likely to dispense just now with his
transit, but he who avails himself of
such help as photography can give him,
especially in such work as making close
typographical surveys, will have very
great advantage over him who DOES not.

Ocean Waves.

Waves are very deceptive. To look
at them in a storm one would think the
water travelled. The water stays in the
same place, but the motion goes on
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high and travel fifty miles an
hour-more than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamship. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen times
the height, hence wave five feet high
will extend over seventy-fve feet of
water. Ocean.

No Yenomous Beetles.

Of, more than 10000 species of beetles
widely diffused over the earth's surface
not one is known to be venomous, or pos
sessed of a sting. Butterflies and moths
have no mouths to eat with, only pro-
boscis to extract sweet juices from flow
ers. Neither do they grow after assum-
ing the winged state. When in the cat
erpillar state they are voracious eaters.

ant woman of Japan, wherever she NAV
! be sought for, even in most remote dis
tlcts of the interior, is incontestablv
much more refined than our peasant
woman OF the west. She has pretty
hands and pretty delicate feet; mere
touch would suffice to transform her into
one OF those ladies that are painted on
vases or transparent screens, and there
would be little left to teach her of man
nered graces, of Alterations of ali sorts.
She almost always cultivates pretty
garden around her ancient cottage of
wood, whose interior, garnished with
white mats, is scrupulously clean. Her
household utensils, her little cups. her
little pots, her little dishes, instead of
being, as with us, of common earthen-
ware daubed with brilliant flowers. are
OF transparent porcelain decorated with
1hose hight and fine paintings that bear
witness OF themselves to long heredity
OF art. She arranges with original taste
the altar of her humble ancestors. Final
ly, she knows how to arrange in her own
vases, with the least spray of verdure,
slender bouquets that the most artistic
among our women would hardly be ca
pable of composing.
She may possibly be more honest than
her sister of the cities and her life NAV
be more regular-from our European
point of view, of course; she is also more
reserved with strangers, more timid,
with sort of mistrust and dislike of the
lntruders, Notwithstanding her amiable
welcome and her smiles.
In the villages of the interior, far from
the recent railroads and from all modern
,mportations, in places where the mil
lenary immobility of the land has not
been disturbed, the peasant woman has
probably changed but little from what
must have been, several centuries ago,
her most remote ancestor, whose soul,
vanished in time, has even ceased to
hover over the family altar At the bar
barrie periods of our western history when
our mothers still preserved something of
the grand and wild rudeness of print
tive times, there lived doubtless yonder,
IN those isles at the east of the ancient
world, these same little peasant women,
SO polite and so mincing, and also these
same little ladies of the cities, so civil
lied, with their adorable courtesies.-
