A Word for the Cat.

Kittens are mystery of the beautiful
and graceful The wonder always is how
the feline tribe could have developed at the
same time Tabby and tiger But Tabby,
while owing much to human friendship,
has put us in deep debt in return. You
may laugh at an old maid for petting cats;
no one can live and keep sane without a
pet. know woman who began with
habits of extraordinary neatness. She
drove off all the cats and dogs because they
soiled her floors. Then she made war on
flies, and her horror was lest visitor
should let fly into the house. Her win
dows were darkened and her doors closed.
At last the woman went mad on tidiness.
She could not endure to have her husband
enter the house for fear afy would come
too.E Fa va
OF course no one visited such a house
after awhile, and the poor creature was
quite daft. Old maids that love cats are
sensible 1t is far better than to fall in
love with broom and scrubbing brush
But really what a marvel of cleanliness a
well bred cat isl They deserve cushions
and a place on the fire rug.-Mary E. Spen-
Ger in St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The other day young man sauntered
into saloon and asked for glass of beer.
The barkceper, German, recognizing in
the stranger q fellow countryman, set out
glass Cf the required beverage for his re-
fection. Taking the glass in his hand the
stranger walked to the end of the bar,
opened his coat and proceeded to pour the
beer into q funnel. "Mein Gott in him
mel!' shouted the astonished bartender.
"Vat you do nit dot beer?" "I am
drinking it," replied the stranger, calmly
emptying the last drop into the funnel and
nlaeng the glass on the counter. The bar
keeper was paralyzed, and nothing short
of full explanation fully reassured him
1t developed that the stranger had some
time ago swallowed some carbolic acid by
mistake, which had caused structure of the
throat. He is unable to swallow even
liquids, and his only means of taking food
or drink is through tube which runs into
his stomach.
Through this he drinks and eats, first
chewing his food and then passing it
through the tube into his stomach His
case was such rare one that the barkeep-
er took him to see some of the doctors of
the city. He is in good health, and does
not seem to suffer much from his strange
affiiction, conversing readily, though un
able to swallow anything at all. The tube
through which he takes his food is re
moved when not in use, and when he is
hungry he places it in position and through
it eats whatever he wants.-Savannah

An. Attractive Library.

The library of Mary Mapes Dodge is
often mentioned by literary people, who
consider it charming spot, both on ac-
count of the distinguished people to b.
met there, as well as the cozy comforts,
many of which she herself has planned,
independent of reigning styles. Low
bookcases, half worn easy chairs, and
oriental curtains make this a charming
place. 1t is becoming common to have
the library light, cheerful abode,
rather than the dark, heavy interior,
the style for SO long, and SO many of
which can still be seen. The latest is to
have a five foot wainscoting in light
oak, capped by a molding carved with
festooned garlands and ribbons. The
ceiling is intersected with beams, also in
light oak, the floor only showing old
oak, but covered by rugs in shades of
light brown, ecru and, perhaps, dull
blue or red to correspond with walls in
these same subdued but cheerful tints.
Even ivory white is now seen in COM
bination with yellow as the prevailing
tints of the modern library, but while so
pretty in the drawing room, most people
find themselves unable to make this
combination seem just the proper thing
for the library. Light oak combined
with natural cherry is proving most
satisfactory, the effect being neither as
heavy as the old style nor as light as the
modern colonial. Brooklyn Eagle

While legal proceedings as to the
ownership of the famous Red Rock
caverns, below Mention, in which has
been recently found a still further group
of neolithic skeletons of giant man,
are still pending, an almost equally in
teresting discovery has been made in a
deep railway cutting at Andresy, in
Seine-et- Disc, near Paris, where the
workmen ran upon huge Merovingian
cemetery of the Sixth century. Already
there have been uncovered nearly GOO
tombs, extending over an area of 2115
miels, yielding a hitherto unheard of
mass of carved sarcophagi, knives,
spears, vases. ornaments and pottery of
unique shapes and styles of decoration.
1t is recalled now that the tiny hamlet
of Andresy, in the generations succeed
ing the Introduction of Christianity by
Genevieve and Clovis, was an important
missionary center. The expected scien-
tifc examination of these multitudinous
remains will throw flood of light on
the origins of the church among all
ranks.-Paris Letter.

Clouds of LOcusts.

The locusts are reappearing in Algeria
in greater numbers than ever, in spite Of
the efforts that were made by the French
administration last year to annihilate
the pests. 1t is now believed that they
come clear across the desert from tho
Soudan. The period of incubation
varies from twenty to thirty days, and
the locusts require only about two
months to attain their complete develop
ment. This fact gives a realizing sense
to the prodigious numbers in which the
terrible insect may multiply during its
progress across the Sahara. Great
clouds of the locusts have already been
seen on the northern edge of the Sahara
making their way north. The news
comes from Touggurt and Ghardaia in
the Sahara that early this year the
locusts suddenly invaded those places
in such enormous numbers that for four
hours they fairly darkened the heav-
ems. About a month before similar
clouds of locusts were reported in the
valley of the Niger river in the Soudan,
and it is believed that in the four sue
ceeding weeks they had journeyed to
the northern part of the Sahara.-New

A Possible Solution.

The department of public charities and
correction of New York city, with it's $4,000
wards, received s2,166,237 in 1891, and re-
quested an appropriation of 50, 0S2245 for
1892 If part of the money that is an
nually devoted to keeping alive the help
less and suffering could in some way be
diverted toremedying unhealthy domiciles,
relieving overcrowded tenements, dissi
pating polluted air and foul gases, supply
ing the best food at cheap rates, educating
the masses in the simple principles of
hygienic living, and in many like ways
checking the sources of disease and degen-
Grafton, the knotty problem would find its
best solution.
The way we can cure is by preventing.
We permit factors to exist that degenerate
men physically, mentally and morally,
and then bring up clumsy, mechanical,
outside philanthropy to try and reform by
patchwork. DIR. Henry D. Chaplin in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

A Disinlerited Astor.

Mr.. Henry Astor, a brother of the late
William Astor, a farmer of Columbia
county, comes in for codicil which sets
forth that neither he nor his issue shall
have so much as one red cent to rub against
another The father of these two men,
William 3. Astor, gave Henry small
amount of money, although he had offend
ed the family by marrying a respectable
girl, the daughter of Il farmer employed
on the Astor estate at Rhinecliff-on-the-
Hudson. This was the only otfense
charged against Henry, so far as the pub
lie ever knew. This offense will not strike
most people as being objectionable, and
yet, in the eyes of the relatives, it seems to
be growing in Nervousness as the years
go by.
1t wasn't so dreadful during the lifetime
of his father, for that stern parent con-
ceded him few paltry dollars; but COM
ing down to this generation he doesn't re-
ceive so much as plaster, and plaster
for the son of an Astor is mighty short
pasture, so to speak. Perhaps as the years
glide by and his offense becomes still fur
ther intensified, his branch of the family
will be required to pay in something each
year to the other branch by way of further
atonement for marrying whom he pleased.
1t is gratifying to know that Henry Astor
has been doing right well since he con-
tracted this marriage, notwithstanding
that his rich relatives didn't like it.-John
A CockerilI In New York Recorder.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. kept store on Sixth
avenue and Twenty-first street, and their
living apartments were in the rear One
evening after they had retired Mrs. S.
could not sleep, for she felt as though some
thing was going to happen. So she arose
and examined the doors and windows to
see if they were secure, and finding that
they were, she retired again, and had just
fallen asleep when her pet parrot, which
was near by, commenced to flutter and
scream, "Ann, Ami get upl there is man
by the bed"
She quickly arose and looked toward the
door and there saw masked man and an
other on his knees close to the bed She
called her husband, screaming, Burglars

pivine service by relephone.

The mayor of Nottingham, accom-.
panied by several members of the corpo-
ration and other leading men of the town,
recently attended divine service in a
novel fashion. The meeting house was
the local exchange of the National Tele-
phone company, but the service in
which they participated was conducted
at Christ church, Birmingham, fifty-one
miles away, :he communication being
Of course by telephone.
They sat on each side of the long
table on which thirty receivers were
placed, while at the church end were
eight transmitters-two in the belfry,
two in the choir, two in the reading
desk, and two in the pulpit, switched on
and off as exigencies required-an ar
rangement which has been in operation
for some weeks for the edifcation of
Birmingham subscribers. The Noting
ham congregation were able to hear
the bells very distinctly, and the re-
sponses and other musical portions of
the service, while the preacher, having
a clear voice and deliberate utterance,
was very audible, and his sermon was
listened to with close attention. Lon

Fat People on a Hot Day.


On one OF the recent hot, soggy after
moons. when every man hated his neigh
Dor and tried to keep at distance from
him, perspiring. heavily clothed fat
man waddled into an elevated train at
the city hall station and prc-empted one
Of the cross seats. He brea-hed like a
porpoise and mopped his face with a
large handkerchief.
Just before the train started a woIl1li,
heavy almost beyond description wit.
adipose tissue, entered the same car.
The car creaked beneath her tread. The
passengers were many, and those who
adjoined empty seats watched her prog
ress with a nervous glance. But with
as great a degree Of blindness Of choice
as is sometimes said to prevail in mar
riage, she plunged tc the center Of the
car and pressed herself down into the
space beside the fat man.
The fat man looked at ber moment,
but she seemed oblivious of his regard.
Then he braced himself for move and
got out Of his seat. Then the fat woman
became aware of his presence.
Don't move-plenty of ROOM" said
she,
Madam" said he, and his voice was
high and clear, Its hot day. | am
fat. You are fat. We've got no busi.
ness to be any where near each other.
SO you'll excuse me-" And he moved
away with an imitation of dignity,
while the passengers laughed at his
forcible English.
But the fat woman, nettled at first,
thought better of it, and as she spread
herself over the entire seat murmured
to crowded neighbor, There's some
advantage in being fat after all. Her
