Pussy's Peculiar Faculty.

Among the habits and traits Of the do
mestic cat that are familiar to all is its
well-known attachment to particular
localities, and its faculty for finding its
way back from the most remote places
although carried away under cover. No
body has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of how it performs such feats. Ono.
theory, advanced by MI. A. R. Wallace,
in Nature, is that cat which is being
conveyed to distance blindfold will
have its sense of smell in full and acute
exercise, aud will by this means take note
of the successive odors it encounters on
the way; that these will leave on its
mind ga series of images as distinct as
those we should receive by the sense of
sight" and that "the recurrence of these
odors in their proper inverse order
every house, ditch, field and village hav-
ing its own well-marked individuality,
would make it an easy matter for the
animal in question to follow the identica!
route back, however many turnings and
crossroads it may have followed" 4
any of our readers know of mofs
reasonable theory we shall be glad to
learn of it.

, Says the Atlanta Constitution, the chill
dren began crying for water, when Miss
Maggie went to the well to draw it. The
well was about 100 yards from the house,
and as the night was bright and clear
she did not hesitate to go. While draw
ing the water a, sensation of awe came.
over her as her quick ear detected the
sound CT feet upon the ground-great,
numbering steps which she only too well
recognized. Looking around she saw q
huge bear in the pathway which led
back to the house. toward which the
bear was advancing. The door was
open, and the cries of the children, as.
they caught sight of the ugly brute adj
vancing toward them, nerved the girl
for the fight. /,
Grasping her fathers hunting knife,
which she had carried out with her for
protection, she ran rapidly after the ami
NAL in order to dispatch him before he
could begin his work upon the children. $
! Just as the bear had reached the door hs
heard the footsteps behind him, turned
about and raising upon his launches let,
fall his big paws upon the glrfs
shoulders, as she simultaneously buried
the knife in his throat. With conyul-
sive shudder the, bear fell backward.
Miss Maggie then sent another thrust into
his heart and then left him for dead, and
then went to bed and slept for the rel
of the night. At daylight she arose, and
with the aid of the other children skinned
aud dressed the carcass for market.

A terrible tale of suffering from ship

DRINKING A FARM.

MY homeless friend with the chromatic
nose while you are stirring up the sugar in
ten cent glass Of gin, let me give you a fact
to wash down with it. You say you have
longed for years for the free, Independent
life of the farmer, but have never been able
to get enough money together to buy farm.
But this is just where you are mistaken.
For several years you have been drinking
good improved farm at the rate of 100 square
feet at gulp. If you doubt this statement,
figure it out for yourself.
An acre of land contains 43. $50 square feet:
Estimating for convenience the land at s43.5 So
Der acre, you will see that it brings the land
TO just one mill per square foot, one cent for
ten square feet. Now pour down the fiery
dose, and imagine you are swallowing a
strawberry patch. Call in five OF your
friends and have them help you gulp down
the 5OO-foot garden. Get on prolonged
spree some day and see how long time it re-
duires to swallow pasture large enough to
feed cow. Put down that glass Of gin;
there's dirt in it-100 feet Of good, rich dirt,
worth s43.5G per acre,-BuIdstte'

ANOTHER INDIAN BATTLE.
rhirty-three of the Hostiles Bite the
Dust,

Early on the morning after the fight at
Wounded Knee another bloody battle took
place between the Indians in Two Strikes's
band and soldiers near Pine Ridge agency.
A number Of soldiers were killed and
wounded and thirty-three Of Two Strikess
band were killed.
The Indians who made the attack were tho
ones who took to the hills about tho agency
when the news Of the other battle in the Bad
Lands came. They ambuscaded the supply
train belonging to the Seventh Cavalry,
which was returning from the scene OF the
fight, just before it reached the agency, and
opened brisk fire on the troopers who ac-
companied it.
The attack was sudden and unexpected,
but. the cavalry men returned q brisk
fire and succeeded in keeping the saw
ages in check until the arrival Of
company of infantry, which was ordered
out from the agency when the sounds Of
the battle were heard there. The Indians
were then repulssd with the loss Of thirty
three killed. They fed to tbs hills without
stopping to pick up the dead.
No attempt was made to dislodge them
from their position in the hills. The agency
was in state of SIEGE and another attack
was expected at any TINA unless reinforce
ments were received soon.
