Animal Wisdom.

In moving to new place of residence
we found on the premises large cat
which had been left there by the former
occupant. She was not of the real do
nestle kind, but lived principally in the
barn, occasionally venturing into the
house to obtain her food. On one &C.
casion, much to the surprise of my wife,
she came up to her and mewed several
times, turning each time toward the
door leading to the barn. This she re-
peated until Mrs. N was induced bv
curiosity to follow her, when she led the
way to a barrel half full Of straw, up
the side Of which she climbed, all the
time mewing and looking at my wife,
and there were five kittens, cold and
dead. Mrs. N remarked, "They are
cold and dead, pussy" and the cat went
away satisfied.
She would sometimes scratch the chill
dren, and We were fearful she would
seriously injure them, and one day
said in her presence that Il would shoot
her." She was missing for about six
weeks, and Of course l had then "got OF
the notion. Forest and Stream.

A Successful Ruse.

A couple of thirsty fellows who had
been loafng all the forenoon on the
quays at Stockholm were struck with a
brilliant idea. They borrowed an old
brandy keg and half filed it with water
Then one of them slung it on his shout
der and took it to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had been
sent by one of the shippers in port to
have the keg filed with brandy.
1.-The captain is sorry he only got it
half full yesterday and thinks it would
be better to have it filed to the top"
The keg was accordingly held under
the tap till it was full. and the fellow
hoisted it on his shoulder, but as he was
about to walk off with it he was stop
ped by the clerk, who demanded pay
ment for the spirits.N
Hasn't our skipper a running &C.
COUNT
Certainly not"
"Bless met must have gone to the
wrong shop! There is nothing for it
but to empty half the keg back again"
This was no sooner said than done;
after which our hero merrily went in
search Of his companion.-Dagblaedt.

Paying Women tn. Sam. "a Men,


The school board of st. Paul has abol-
ished the distinction of sex in the mat
Ier Of salaries. Hereafter the women
teachers will receive equal pay with the
men. In establishing the schedules Of
future compensation for the teachers of
the high school and the manual labor
school no sex distinction is made. Here
after it Will be purely question of CO.
pacity, individuality and efficiency. The
schedule adopted reads:
Grade 3-First year, $3.50; second
year. $1,000; third year, 81 900; fourth
year, $1,10O; fifth year, $1,100: sixth
year, 81 200.
Grade 2-First year $1,000; second
year, $1,100; third year 81 ,2O6; fourth
year, $1,000; fifth year, 81, 400; sixth
year, 81, 500.

Tho Tall Hat In England.

No one ever says good word for the
tall hat. 1t is reviled and abused on all
sides, and yet it holds its own against
all comers with an inmobility worthy
Of q better cause. Nearly all the syn
Cnyms-and they are many-adopted to
designate the tall hat are Of disrespect-
full character. Men liken 1t to a stove
pipe Or chimney pot; the name topper"
itself is decidedly lacking in dignity.
But though we are told that nothing
kills like ridicule, ridicule mas who. =
failed to overthrow the dominion Of the
tall hat. II the last man be an English
man, we can well imagine that his i'm

In India they drown great many Of

from therapeutic standpoint. In civ

Without more ado the young woman
ran up to the cat and was horified to
find that the animal had evidently been
run, over by q wagon, as its spine was
dislocated and 1t was barely able to
crawl by dragging it's hind legs.
"She's done for, sure enough" COM
mented the Evanstonian. ''She won't

The girl suddenly Strengthened up to

"Hurry up. dear!"
For a moment the young man did not

he began to grow angry. "See herer'

The Indian attendants who now inva-

OF great trouble to the court officials
who have charge Of the various arrange

by themselves in o separate saloon. and
their meals and all refreshments must
be served to them in the train at the
stopping stations instead of their going
to the Bullets with the suite and the
European servants.
Special arrangements have also to be
made for the Indians at the hotels, which
