CUPID AND THE sAGAcIous CAT.

How Tabby Carried Tender Messages Be-
tween a Lover and His Sweetheart.
3 It was in the spring Of the year 1889
Swhen met my husband, says writer
in the New York Recorder. / held
position as artist for one of the large
firms in New York city, and he held a
position as boolxkeeper for the firm
two doors below the one we occupied,
and / became acquainted with HIM,
and soon our acquaintance ripened into
q close friendship, and many were the
notes he would send upstairs. At last
he hit upon the novel idea of using the
large office cat for messenger boy,
and the first thing in the morning
would see Tommy at the door Of my
room crying to be let in. AS soon as
the door would be opened he would
walk into the room and wait patiently
for me to take the note that my friend
had tied to his collar from him, and
after would answer it he would stand
still until gave him little petting,
and then off he would go and deliver
the note to my friend.
Strange as it may seem, that cat
would not allow anyone to touch him
while he was carrying the note.
Through these notes friendship
into love, aud we called Tommy our
messenger boy.
Just fore we were married Tommy
disappeared and we could find no
trace of him. but my husband de-
clares he must be still living and carry
ing love messages for some other happy
ones

HARD WORK NOT INJURIOUS.
With Good Habits Neither Brain Nor
Body Can Be Hurt lY Labor.

With Good Habits Neither Brain Nor
Body Can Be Hurt 10y Labor.
DR.. Pye Smith holds that there is no
fear of the ordinary man using his
brains too much for health and he does
not believe that mental labor or honest
work of any kind interferes with health
or shortens life a day. He maintains
that excessive eating is the abuse that
tends to the injury of brain-workers
more than any other ca'1se.
Many active brain-wo1 l1ers have sud
denly broken down, and fancied that it
was due to brain fatigue, when, as
matter of fact. it was due to overstufhng
of their stomachs. The furnace con-
nected with the mental machine be-
came clogged up with ashes and carbon
in various shapes and forms, and, as a
result, disease came, and before the
case was fully appreciated a democrat
lied condition Of the nervous system
was manifested, and the prosaic canse
for the collapse was suppressed under
the euphemistic mental overwork.
Dr. Smith insists that if man will
take nutritious, digestible food, in jul
dicious quantity, Live and work reg
ularly, and rest when fatigued, culti-
waiting at the same time a philosophical
habit, and keeping himself aloof from
fret and annoyances, the chances are
that he can do an almost unlimited
amount of work for an indefinite length
of time. He must. however bear in
mind that when WEAKNESS comes he
must rest and not take stimulants and
work upon false capital.

I'm Our Geological Formation Creeping
Animals Once Predominated.
There was time sin the wide revolv-
ing shades of centuries past when our
globe was wholly i'll the possession OF
walking, swimming and flying reptiles.
Being OF the dominant type they were
divided into three great classes, In the
ocean they became gigantic padding
enaliosaurians; on dry land, or rather
wet land (for the whole face OF the
earth was doubtless q quagrnire at that
time), they became INDUSTRIOUS ichthy-
osaurians, some of which had legs iii
teen feet or more in length: those which
inhabited the regions Of the air were
the terrible flying pterodachtyls. For
vast but unknown length Of time
these awful creatures literally ruled tho
earth. Finally, after they had seen
their day." they began to grow less and
less One BY one they died out in the
face Of the younger and more vigorous
fauna, until at the present time only q
few miniature alligators and crocodnes,
q few toy snakes as reminders Of skulk-
ing lizards and geckos remain Of the.
enormous reptilian types that once
crowded land and sea.

FAMILY GRAvEYARDs.
Lonesome Sights That Are to BE Seen on
southern Indiana Farms.

Lonesome sights In2t are 60 DC seen On
southern Indiana Farms.
ssThere is no place like southern Indi-
ana for graveyards, said a resident Of
Bloomfield, Ind, to Chicago Globe
man recently. CHOW, that section in
GLIDING Green, Monroe, Brown and Sui
Ivan counties is wonderland to trav-
erse. It looks as though the old settlers of
fifty years ago wanted each one to have
a graveyard Of his own. Every mile or
two, often far from any roadway, total
~ inaccessible to wagons without lay
ing waste the fences, you come upon
little rock-walled or rail-bound in
closures containing the dead Of one
family Father, mother and several
children lie there, and none others.
''These places have long been for
saken and forgotten. Weeds flourish in
stained tombstones from view. Often
with a companion I have entered one
of those little Enclosures, trampled and
torn out the weeds and righted the five
or six headstones that had fallen and
buried even the inscribed virtues OF the
dead into the wormy earth.
'"These people had no country church
yard. No preacher except the visiting
parson who came monthly on horse
back They had no funeral in the pres
ent sense of the word. Plain wooden
boxes were used for collins and often
the sturdy youth of the family made
the coffin for the dead parent or rela-
tive These little spots were dear to
those families. One can see that by the
loving little inscrip tions and decora-
tions. When they were all dead no one
remained to care for them and they fell
into decay and ruin.
<'They are lonesome sights, those
little groups of white pillars. In the
winter when the trees are bare and the
grass dead, have seen flocks Of crows
coming and circling about the clump Of
trees that usually cluster about those
places. The bitter wind means through
the cracking branches and those crows
wheel about and cav and croak until
the world seems truly a place of sorrow
and DEATH"

syAsPs AND SPIDERS.
vi ire lsirds e Are Nbt Disturbed "
the Miners.

#vVhyssstAOs Btfd8s ss Are Nbf Disturbed by
N the Miners.
The miners Of Colorado who have
built cabins on the mountain sides know
what q pest the small brown wood
spider proves to be, says the Great Di-
vide They throw their webs over our
best clothes, cooking utensils, in every
corner where you can get them IN your
eyes and mouth Not only that. but
they. will drop into the frying pan,
water bucket or upon the table where
you are eating.
Bnt nature furnished a remedy and a
friend when she gave the spider hawk.
The name is given by miners to a small
steel-blue wasp, about three-fourths OF
an inch in length He can easily be
recognized by che quick, nervous strokes
of his wings. They build nest up
among the rafters Of your cabin of wood
pulp or furze from the outer coating OF
old dead trees Then they are ready
for business. Every few minutes you
can see your hawk climb up the rafters
with spider, sometimes carrying one
four or five times it's own weight. Some
times they get spider SO heavy that
they will fall many times before they
succeed in reaching their nest: They
never give up, but keep on trying until
they succeed When the spider is safe
ly placed in the nest the female hawk
deposits her egg in the dead body.
The hawks live only in pairs as far as
my observation goes. They become
rather tame and seem to be obliged to
you for building the spider trap for their
benefit

MOUNTAINS in THE ATLANTIC.
Their Tops Covered with Shells Miles Be-

Their Tops Covered with Shells Miles Be-
low the Surface.
Four years ago the British govern
ment sent out an expedition to map the
bottom of the Atlantic ocean. The
work is now about completed and a re-
port has been issued. It shows that if
the water We're drained away the bed of
the ocean would show vast plain trav-
ersed near the center by mountain
range running parallel with the Ameri-
can coast. Another range, running
almost at right angles to this, extends
from Newfoundland to Ireland. In a
general way these facts were known
before, but it is now ascertained that
about two miles below the surface and
that the basins, instead of being Gun
fathomed Depths are about four and
one-half miles below the surface OF
course this is far enough, but one would
a great deal rather know that the bot
tom is five miles down than to be told
that it's location has not been ascer-
tanned The latter is SO utterly hope
less. A curious fact regarding the
mountains is that their tops are as
white as though they lay in the region
of perpetual snow. The reason for
this, according to the Rochester Post
Express, is that the mountains are
thickly covered with a species Of pure
white shells. The legends Of the lost
Atlantis are borne out by the finding Of
IAN elevated plateau, the shape and ex-
tent of which corresponds to the size OF
the lost Atlantis almost exactly

Sat times the snakes head was close

An insurance Agents check.

On the strength of his remarkable
resem blance to ex-senator Miller, a
Philadelphia insurance agent gained
entrance some time ago to the floor of
the senate chamber at Washington.
He was at first challenged, but when
he Indignantly said to the doorkeeper:
ssDon't you know ne?" that official
made profound obeisance and opened
the door forthwith. It is said that this
interesting Philadelphia was once in
trodnced to Gen. Grant as Senator Mil
Ter, and the general did not discover

H COMING CRISIS.

There never was a time when people
should be more reasonable than at
present. This is a critical era. Our
people are arrayed against each other,
divided by political differences, some
of them just, some unjust. THE Pro-
GREssIvE FARMER will not say anything
to fan the flame either way. We have
placed as many facts before our read
ers as we could, and shall continue to
do so. We have not tried to be on the
popular side, but have gone straight
ahead, regardless of consequences,
whenever we thought it our duty,
granting to others the right to differ at
all times.
That our farmers and busines IS men
and mechanics are in a ~deplorable con
dition, no one will deny. In the South
the price of cotton and tobacco has
much to with it. In the North prices
OF farm products, caused by combina-
tons, which our Congress has failed to
suppress, has nearly ruined the coun-
try. In the West and in the stock
raising sections the people are in the
same condition, for they a no longer
market their stock, WOOL orbeef cattle
at living prices. Contraction of the
currency has much to do with il IF
business vas done between man and
man, according to the golden rule all
could get along better. When the neo.
pie, o any portion of them, fail in this
it is the duty of our lawmakers to see
that the country has proper laws and
that they are enforced. For the mast
twenty years nothing has been done
All the laws made or bills put throuob
our national legislature, has been.
against the masses, in favor of a few
individuals, who are now miIlionaires.
Perhaps two thirds of the lawmakers
that have lived in that period are now
millionaires themselves, made so by
aiding monopoly or by winking at the
schemes of monopolists instead Of sup
pressing or exposing the same.
The country cannot last long at the
