Pussy in a Strange Role.

In the mountain district of Pennsyl-
vania two wrens had built their nest
under the caves of an old farmhouse
and there they reared a small and in
teresting family. Among the attaches
of the farmers household was white
cat and when the wrens became SO
tame that they used to hop around the
piazza in search of crumbs the cat
would lie in wait for them, and several
times came within an ace of catching
the adult birds. When the farmer
noticed this he kicked the cat and she
finally learned that it was dangerous
to fool with the wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger
one of them one day fell out of the
nest and being too weak to run and
unable to fly lay helpless on the grass.
The cat saw the accident and ran rap
idly to seize the bird. but seeming to
remember the lesson taught her, when
she reached the helpless little thing
she only touched it daintily with her
paw and then lay down and watched
it. Presently there came back-and-
yellow garden snake toward the tlut-
tering birding. The cat was doing
and was awakened by the futtering Of
the bird. Instantly she arose and
struck at the reptile with her paw.
This was an enemy the snake did not
appreciate, but was hungry, so it
darted forward and attempted to seize
the bird under the very shelter of the
cats head. Like flash the cat seized
the snake just back of the head and
killed it with one bite. When the
farmer happened along in the after
noon he found the cat crouching in
the grass sheltering the bird and ten
feet away was the dead snake.
This made it clear that the cat had
carried the bird away from the snake
and the young adyenturer was soon
restored to its anxious parents. Bran

DEADLY LONDON FOG.
Every Ten Days of 1t Kills Two Thousand
Five Hundred Persons.

It is not necessary to describe the
misery of London fog to any che who
has been compelled to reside in the
metropolis during few days OF its
prevalence. The painful irritation to
the eyes, the choking sensation in the
chest, together with the general de-
preston of spirits and many other all
ments. are the lesser sufferings that
few who are exposed to it escape.
But it is not realized what an amount
of serious illness or how many deaths
one week of London fog causes. 1t
NAV be accepted that every ten days
of this terrible visitation kills $500
people, and if we calculate nine seri-
Gus cases of illness to each death, we
have % 900 people laid upon beds of
sickness, says the Contemporary Re
UieU.
To a certain extent the cold that al
WAYS prevails during these dense fogs
may be credited with portion of this
sickness, but not to any great extent,
as neither fog nor cold in country
places produce any such change in the
death rate. There can be little doubt
that the extreme discomfort, as well
as the deadliness of the London fog,
arises from the poisonous gases with
which the damp air gets saturated,
and increasingly so the longer the fog
lasts.
The smoke which gives the fog it's
yellow appearance and is so dirty and
unpleasant, is not injurious, being only
carbon; probably. indeed, it prevents
the poisonous gases from doing much
more harm.
The fog, it is needless to say, is
caused by atmospheric conditions.
which keep the lower stratum of air
comparatively stationary and prevent
smoke rising, as it ordinarily does
even when there is no wind to move
it. Consequently, the air in our
streets remains to great extent I'M
changed during the prevalence of a
thick fog, but it by no means remains
in the same state, for the gas generated
in the $500 miles of sewers is rising
through the grids and mixing with the
air, which is also being corrupted by
the emanations from the millions of
men and animals that live in the
metropolis.
1t is difficult to realize how foul
must be the air Londoners breathe
after two or three days of fog, and the
wonder is not that so many are sick
and so many die, but that so few do
so. The poisonous fog so deteriorates
the vigor of life that, in addition to
its directly injurious Influence, it rem
ders the system incapab bic of resisting
the cold.
To prevent these fogs seems impos-
sible; the draining of marsh land
would probably do something to miti-
gate them; the discontinuance of the
use of open fires, or the general use of
smokeless fuel, would make them less
unpleasant, but they would remain as
poisonous as ever.

terminated by the neat and effective
constructions of the day At Miss
Beveridges forge the tire of truck
might easily have been raised to weld
ing heat, or n needle tempered, yet the
continuance could have been picked up
by a man of ordinary strength.
The forge. however, was the only
one Of the tools that seemed in keeping
with the slightness of the artisan. At
one time she would be swinging ham,
mer that weighed twelve pounds, and
n moment after would drop it to grab
some other implement AS much too
heavy for her hands. When there is
heavy welding or drawing to be done
Miss Beveridge is usually assisted by
some one of her boy companions in the
smithy or by her INSTRUCTOR, but she
is slow to admit the need of such help,
and is sometimes found struggling with
bit of work calculated to tax the
strength of man. Such occasions are
not frequent, however, because it is
not to the more common branches of
blacksmithing that Miss Beveridge is
giving her ATTIC ntion. Her purpose is to
become accomplished in the making of
ornamental forged iron work, in which
it is rare to find any single piece that
cannot readily be manipulated by a
woman. If when an ornament must be
put together and finished greater
strength is needed there are sings and
cranes and other devices in plenty that
enable the woman still to be mistress
OF the situation.
1t is the belief of Miss Beveridge that
In designing curious and attractive iron
ornaments womanly fancy will prove
itself more alert and dainty than that

At Chicago she will demonstrate her
ability to do work that will sell for
good prices, and thereby prove that in
one form of craftsmanship at least woman
may be self-sustaining.
Another of her self-imposed duties
will be to show and explain the methods
used in accomplishing her work,so that
their simplicity may be generally un-
derstood and her example be followed
by other women.
The precise place in the Exposition to
which she will be assigned is not
known, but the managing directors
have promised that suitable provision
shall be made tor Miss Beveridge and
her workshop.
A place near or in the machinery de-
partment would be preferred by her in
order that she may utilize steam power
as much as possible, but she is willing
to go under any Inconvenience. The
diminutive blacksmith made "a pretty
picture when, after long period OF
labor, she flounced down upon her anvil
for season of rest. The nnstudied

WHEN LINCOLN DIED.
The Very Same Moment Ts1any's BiR
Clock stopped Short.

Probably not one in thousand of
the multitude who daily look up to
Tiffany's big clock on the front of their
massive tireproof building on Union
square, New York, and set their pocket
time-pieces to correspond, has any
idea of its interesting history, that it
has marked the various stages of the
progress of this remarkably successful
house, and also became famous at the
time of President Lincoln's assassina-
ton, when its hands stopped at the
very hour of his death.
In talk with Mr.. Tiffany, the we'll
preserved octogenarlan and active
head of the great jewelry house, the
writer learned that the clock was con-
structed for the firm long before the
war, in fact, nearly forty years ago,
when the firm was yet in the infancy
of its business career, and made their
first bold move uptown from 271 to $50
Broadway. 1t was when the building
which still stands, was erected on that
site that the famous clock, so closely
associated with the Tiffany fortunes,
was first put up.
The clock is mounted on wooden
figure of herculean proportions, repre-
senting Atlas unfolding the world up
on his shoulders; it was carved for
them by a well-known firm of Ameri-
can ship-builders, who at the time be-
came renowned for their superior mod
cling of figures and tigure-heads, such
as were used in ornamenting the bows
of vessels. The figure itself stands
nearly nine feet high, while the circu-
lar space behind the dial of the clock,
above the tigure.is almost large enough
for the man who cleans the dial to
stand up erect inside. 1t was while at
$50 Broadway that, by strange CO.
incidence, it recorded one of the sad
dest events in the history of the coun-
try; for, without warning, and with
out any apparent cause, the hands
stopped at the hour of President Lin
coins death, at 1922 on the morning of
April 10, 1865.
After the firm became settled in
their handsome new building ON Union
square. over twenty years ago, the
clock was mounted in its present posi-
ton. where it continues to mark the
time of day, after forty years of SER
vice, almost as accurately rs the chro-
nometers in the watch department, on
the ground floor.
The clock stands on the second lloor
of the building, Tilted into the center
window on the outside. The works
were made in Tiffany 4 Co.'S own
clock shop, and are not behind the
dial, as supposed, but in glass case
on the floor above, and are SO con-
structed that several clocks can be run
in different parts of the building, all
by this same movement. Altogether
it is unique piece of mechanism, with
history rs interesting rs the famous
firm whose building it adorns.

of man, and thereby both increase
present demands for such handwork
and create new markets. AS part of
her scheme of manual education she is
to study designing, drawing, and
modelling, and she is encouraged in
thinking that she may rise above medi-
ocrity because her present experience
has shown that she is gifted with a
fine appreciation of form, relations, and
color. When to such natural adapta-
tions she has added the finish of the
schools she will call herself black
smith, but not before.
