Both Good.

Many interesting stories have been
told about that favorite son Of the south,
Henry w. Grady. One that was heard
O few evenings ago at an assemblage
largely made up Of Presbyterian clergy
men shows that his colored coachman,
who has not appeared prominently be-
fore the American public, was well
worthy to be in the service of such a
master. The Rev DR.. Henry NJ. Field
was the relator Of the incident. Dr.
Field was visiting Atlanta and of course
met Mr.. Grady. Mr.. Grady placed his
carriage at DR.. Fields disposal, ar after
driving about the city, on being let at
Mr.. Grady's Office, DR.. Field rewarded
the coachman with big silver dollar.
Later in the day Mr.. Grady remarked
to DR.. Field that his coachman had told
him of the tip, and at the same time had
said that certain Baptist clergyman,
whom he had driven about the city a
few DAYS before as Mr.. Grady's guest,
had at the end of the ride rewarded him
with his blessing, saying that he could
give no other reward. Mr.. Grady asked
which he preferred, the dollar or the
blessing, and the coachman, scratching
his head, replied that both were good
and that he thought he preferred them
mixed. land there are many others OF
us, think" concluded DR.. Field, who
prefer them mixed. New York Times.

Cnltiratinc Color In Cats.

Never have cats held so important q
position in the animal world as they 90
at the present time. In days gone by
pussy's chief value consisted in her capa-
bilities as a mouser, and so long as she
accomplished her work satisfactorily
that was all that was required Of her.
Nobody troubled as to the shortness Of
her face, the size of her ears, or the
length of her tail. Every one was per-
fectly b..tisfed with her sober gray coat
and four white feet. Fer green eyes,
too, we all took quite as matter of
course. But now very different state
of affairs exists. In many instances her
propensity for mousing only composes
one of her numberless characteristics, if
indeed the most aristocratic specimens
deign to catch a mouse at all.
The markings which are now produced
in our cats are certainly wonderful. We
have striped Tables and spotted tab
bies, the stripes and spots so clearly and
regularly defined in the best cats that it
seems difficult to believe that 1t Is all ma
ture. The colors, too, are most beautiful
the rich orange, delicate chinchilla,
dusty looking smoke, vivid red and last
but not least blue-blue, or what theun-
initiated would undoubtedly term slate,
being one Of the most fashionable shades
among the pussies Of the present day
London Lady.

which he was driving home. The cows
affection for its offspring had attracted
attention moro than once.
At length river was reached, which,
being unabridged, the cattle had to ford.
The water was deep, and as the cattle
plunged in they were swept off their
feet, the mother COW among the rest.
The calf meantime was taken by the
current several rods down stream, and
when the poor COW regained her footing
and discerned this her distress was ap-
parent. Instead of making for the oppo-
site shore, as the other animals had
done, she swan down the stream below
her calf. The current drove the young
creature against the protecting bulk OF
the mother.
The cow, satisfied at this state of af
fairs, started for the shore, the calf swim
ming alongside of her. About midway
Of the river the swift current, striking
the calf in the fore quarter, swept it be-
hind the COW, and again it foundered
down stream.
Once more the mother went to the
rescue. She had to swim around to the
other side of the calf, and, this done, she
had to steady herself in the stream until
the calf was against her side. Her eff
forts were this time successful, and COW
and calf swan safely to shore.-Indian-

,.n.. Limit. Of Human Hearing.

We can do a great deal to cultivate
the ear, but we can do nothing to e1-
tend the range of sounds which the tym-
panum can receive. The ear may nave
great keenness Of perception, may near
sounds extremely small, distant and
faint, and yet be always deaf to any
noise, however loud, if it is lower or
higher in pitch than the tympanum Is
made for. Various experiments show
that about the lowest, or what IN mu-
steal instrument would be called the
deepest bass sound, consists of 12f undu-
lations in the second, and the highest OF
rather more than 5000. Human ears
have not all the same compass. A party
of Young people, all with excellent hear
ing, may go into the meadows, and some
will hear the shrill note of the common
crasshopper, and some will not hear 1t
even family, but simply hear nothing at
all. -
hearing never extends more than note
or two above the cry Of the common
Gryllus campestris." He gives scale
of sound which he found to be inaudlble
TO some ears. He found that some people
could not hear the cry Of the bat, nor the
chirping of sparrows, which Is four &C.
tayes above T in the middle Of the piano
forte. Not to be able to hear this last
note he considers to be very rare. He
believes the whole range Of human hear
ing to be compressed between the deep
est notes of the organ and the highest
cries of the insects, including fully nine
octaves, The whole of which are distinctly
audible to most ears.-New York Home
