Cats can be trained to almost anything
If taught when they are young. We have
number of Persians, which sit with equa-
nimity upon the top Of our bird cages watch
ing the canaries hopping merrily about
from perch to perch, making no attempt to
touch them, nor ever dreaming of inserting
a velvet paw through the narrow wires to
the discontinue of the fluttering inmates
They are left alone with the birds by the
hour together, yet an overturned cage or
slaughtered canary is an unheard of catas-
trophe In our household. Chickens, too,
our cats fully realize are forbidden to figure
in their menu. They ramble about at their
own sweet will among numberless broods
of the tiniest bantam chicks, yet one of the
latter Is never missing and they quito seem
to recognize the fact that plump little
mouse or an unwary bluebottle caught
buzzing upon the window pane is their
only legitimate prey. Sometimes we hear
of cats creating terrible havoc in the poul-
try yard, killing chickens by the dozen and
making life perfect martyrdom to the dis
tracted mothers
The best way to cure pussy of this fatal
habit is to take the dead chicken from her,
pepper 1t we'll, and then fasten it round the
delinquents neck. Place her in room
and leave her thus for an hour or two to
ruminate over her wrong dongs 1t Is 10
to II poor puss will ever err again.
Once released from this somewhat severe,
II necessary, punishment she will make off,
with tears in her eyes (whether from emo
tion or the pepper it Is impossible to say,
and for the future she will avoid the poul-
try department with strange persistency
and regard with distrust the fluffy little
denizens of the chicken coops.-London

Appalling Depths OF Space.

In his lecture to juveniles at the Royal
institution in London, Sir Robert Ball said
that q telegraphic message would go seven
times around the earth in second and il
telegraphic message could be sent to the
moon 1t would reach its destination In lit
tie more than asecond. 1t would take some
thing like eight minutes to arrive at the
sun, but how long did they think 1t would
take to get to Alpha Centauri, travelling
thither at $50, 900 miles second2 Seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, would
not be long enough. 1t would not take less
than three years. travelling all the time at
that tremendous pace, before it would reach
its destination.
Ii that was the case with respect to the
nearest Of the stars, what must be said OF
those which were farther Off There were
stars SO remote that il the news of the vic
tory of Wellington at Waterloo had been
flashed to them in 1875 on that celestial tel
egraph system it would not have reached
them yet, even if The message had sped at
tho pace which he had indicated and had
been travelling all the time
Nay, more, if the glad tidings of that first
Christmas In Bethlehem 10 centuries ago
had been disseminated through the uni
verse, there were yet stars of which astron-
omers could tell them plunged into space
in depths so appalling that even the years
that have elapsed since that event would
not have been long enough for the news to
reach them, though it Travelled at speed
of 10000 miles in every second.-Chicago

TIE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Delegates Resigning---The Duty May
DevoIve Upon Our Belgium Minister.

WASHINGTON. March 24-Congressman
McCreary, of Kentucky, rendered his res
ignation to the president yesterday as a-
member of the international monetary
conference. The conference adjourned on
Dec. 10 last, to meet May 30. Since then
two others of its five delegates from this
country-Senators Allison and Jones'
have rendered their resignation
Ii was said at the state department that
at the cabinet meeting this afternoon the
question whether or not a new body of
delegates shall be appointed will probably
be discussed and decided. The opinion is
held by some persons who are in u position
to form intelligent views that President
Cleveland has practically concluded not to
send another delegation to Brussels. II
that proves to be the case the minister to
Belgium will probably be designated to
attend the conference as the representative
of the United States.

CHIEF ARTHUR TALKS.
Ho Tells Of His Connection with the
Ann Arbor Strike.

Ann Arbor Strike.
CLEVELAND, March 25.-Chief Arthur, of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
has issued an official statement regarding
the position the Brotherhood occupies in
the Ann Arbor strike. 1t is as follows:
After reading the various comments
end criticisms in the different papers on
the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michi-
gan strike and Judge Rck's decision 1
Heel compelled to state my side of the story.
In the first place, find it very hard to
make the public understand do not order
any stoppage of work. and could not if 1
wanted to. The men themselves vote upon
1t. and if majority decides to stop work
OF course it is done.
In all cases where the engineers and
hremen have contract with railroad
companies we have no trouble, and find it
much the best way to do. The great
trouble has been on the small roads, es-
pecially they that take advantage of the
men in making them work for less wages
and giving no pay for overtime.
In the last case every honorable effort
was made to adjust the difficulty, but with
out success, and here it is said that the
men stopped work without giving notice,
which is not true, as myself addressed a
letter to General Manager Ashley, inform
ing him that his engineers and flremen had
determined to leave his service at stated
time II their demands were denied.
If there had been head to the Ann
Arbor road that believed in living and let
ting Hive we would not have had trouble;
but so long as this grinding process is car
RED out by the railroads, just so long will
there be trouble with the companies
III men are not at liberty to quit work
when 1t suits their convenience then GER
tainly the same rule will apply to railroad
companies and deny the right to discharge
man at any time they choose without
consulting his convenience or comfort.
We are at any time ready to subscribe to
any rule that will apply alike to employer
and employee

Baldne.s Not Due to Modern Flour.

The human race was afflicted with bald
ness and toothlessness centuries before
white -four was known. 1t is possible that
both these affiictions are less prevalent now
than IN the olden times. All the olden
time pictures and statues of the dead races
showed up agood percentage of bald heads,
and tooth pulling and filling, and even arti
hcial teothmaking, were practiced away
back In history. Out of the ruins of Pom
peii and Herculaneum are taken whole sets
OF false teeth along with loaves Of bran
