An amusing thing happened at recent
dinner given by a physician well known in
New York, says the Recorder. The affair
was mans dinner, aud given to welcom
home distinguished traveller. Just as the
host was putting the finishing touches to
his own toilet his butler came up to his room
to say that the cook had a bad pain 10 his
chest, and would the master please sead her
one of his prepared mustard plasters Dr.
M. D. hastily picked out couple OF plas-
ters from the tin box In which they were
kept, and at the same time took up par
eel containing the menus for the dinner, aud
gave both to the butler, with Instructions
to place The menu, as usual, one at each
plate.
Soon the guests were all seated at the
table and as soon as the first wine was
poured the host arose and proposed that the
company should drink a cordial welcome to
the guest of honor.
The guest, who had been observed to look
puzzled and then amused. as he opened his
menu (which was double card like little
book arose and responded that nothing
could DO warmer than the welcome offered
him by his old friend, DR.. NJ. D., and that
he could not be sufficiently grateful for the
precautions taken 10 provide against his
suffering from the effects of this, his first
banquet, since his return TO civilization.
With this he held up for observation one of
the mustard plasters which the butler had
carelessly allowed to slip within the menu
A New York WON an had an experience q

which she will not soon forget-one which,
considering her environment was very sur

high-class apartment houses in Fifty-ninth
street, overlooking the park. The library
Is on the second floor, and In this room she
was seated one night last week when a
peculiar noise from the family parrot, who
was in his cage in au opposite room, at.
tracted her attention.
Thinking the bird was merely restless and
wanted his cage covered, she picked up a
soft wooden couch cover and started across
the hall At the threshold Of the second
room she saw crouching on the top of the
parrots cage gray cat, which had sue
oeeded by his weight and clawiug in incliu-
ing the cage almost to the tipping auRle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up and down
the upper side in frenzy of fright. The I'M
equal struggle could not have lasted many
seconds longer, and, urged by the crisis,
though reallyalarmed at the unusual size and
fierce appearance OF the cat. Polls mis-
tress advanced into the room, shaking the
couch cover and attempting. after the man
ner of women, to "shoo" the cat away.
She had half crossed the apartment when
the animal made a spring at her, and but

her face would have received the brunt of
the attack. As it was the cat clawed vioS

aided by the desperate push which the now
terrified woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.

the door between herself and the cat, then
violently rang the bell for assistance. The
maids responded, and, after carrying Poll
to place Of safety in a remote room an
attempt was made to disodge the cat from
the library. AT sight of his pursuers the
creature began to rush about, jumping
through brass screen with force enough
to break it, knocking over bric-a-brac and
loose books and ending by scaling the
window casing as If ii were tree

he glared down at those beneath him until
Mr.. IS arrival shortly afterward. He
was then prodded down and leaped through

below, darting off to the park as soon as he
reached the ground.
Policemen and others familiar with Cen
trial park say that stray city cats often find
homes in it's sequestered hooks, growing
wild and raising progeny that become al
most as fierce and terrible as genuine wild
cat. In this instance the animal WAS doubt
less driven from its hauntS by hunger and
getting in on the ground floor, was attracted
upstairs to the parrots cage by the scent of
the bird and its food.
Evidently nature. says Clara Belle in the
Times Democrat, thought it unwise 10
leave mating to the judgment, for there is a
creed in touch of lips beside which reason
seems heresy. Yet all girls are not nice to
kiss. OF course 1t is sad to become an epi-
curesn judge Of kisses. 1t means that you
are growing old, and that even the best
later day kiss is less and less a match for
that first kiss. However, directly You are
old and sad enough to compare kisses you
must make yourself an epicure or lose all
delicaoy Of judgment. First, the girl must
not be too tall. IL she is too tall she must
kiss you, that is, she-but that is another
part of the subject. The girl should be
half a head shorter than you, anyhow. 1t is
best that she should have curly hair
because curly hair looks well unused, and
it is 30 dishearteniDR Co see a girl emerge
from kiss all tousled witn long loose locks
hanging about her ears. Directly you be-
come an epicure you notice these things.
Her complexion must be good, the smoother
and softer the better, A nice, cool, clean,
odOred skin is the incest. The mouth
should not be two small II should be red
and firm looking. with full under lip. Never
kiss girl who has projecting teeth, unless
she is your first girl; then you won't mott
it. Otherwise, go and kiss the handle Of
water pitcher instead. The shirt-rrouted girl
is hard to kiss. A woman's shirt front will
crackle 1t is distracting TO the ate ation
and interferes with your feelings. Nothing
should be allowed to interfere with your
feelings when you are kissing a girl When
it is the first girl nothing does, but later on
almost anything will distract your mind.
For that reason girls should not wear great
corsage bouquets pinned with a hatpin.
There may be time IN your life when a
hairpin penetrating your liver won't inter-
fere with the execution, completion and in
ioyment of kiss, but in later days a thing
ike that makes you want to stop right off.
A real eDicure never starts right in by
kissing girls mouth. Take things slowly.
She will last longer so. Kiss her hands, her
temples, her hair, and then don't kiss her at
all for a week. She will miss it: so will
you. 1t is a great thing to be able to miss
Kissing girl. You can never accomplish that
il you start right off by kissing her mouth.
