Why He "Cussed j" the Cat.

A short while ago lady going up
the slope on Charles street to the Wash
ington monument was very much inter-
ested in the performance of black cat
which was hunting for a tender spar
row on which to make breakfast.
The cat proved to be a successful sport.
He bagged the game and ran across the
path between the lady and gentle
man approaching from the opposite di-
rection. The gentleman was on his
way down town to business When he
saw the cat he stopped short as if he
had been shot, turned around three
times on his heel. said: Darn that
cat" and hurried away from the spot.
The Lady, who very well understood all
the actions of the cat, was so surprised
by those of the gentleman that she be-
came fixed to the spot. She could not
make it out until black woman in
formed her that it twas mighty bad
luck for black cat to cross ones path,
especially on the way to business in
the morning" She also learned that
the way to break the spell of ill luck
was to turn around three times and
''cuss" the Baltimore Sun.

An English scientist is quoted as
authority for the statement that there
are five times as many species of in
scots as there are species of all other
living things put together The oak
tree alone supports $50 species of in
sects, and 200 kinds make their home
in the pine. Forty years ago Hum
boldt estimated that the number of
species preserved in collections was be-
tween 1900 and 10000, but scientific
men now say that there must be more
than 100000, without taking into con-
sideration the parasite creatures. Of
the $4,000 species in Europe, however,
not more than $500 are obnoxious or
destructive. There are more than 1OO.-
900 kinds of beetles.

PRODUCES NO GREAT MEN.

Paris Draws on the French Provinces for
Most of Her Native Notab1es.
The city of Paris with its environs
boasts nearly one-twelfth of the total
population of France, yet. according
to the New York Evening Post, it
does not escape the charge, which lies
against SO many other large cities, of
being huge nav into which the best
of the national life is sucked. Only
in the slightest degree is it the parent
of the energy and distinction which it
displays on SO great scale. In the
political field scarcely one of the
distinguished men of the time is Paris
born. The president of the republic
is not, nor is the president of the SEN
ate or of the chamber; not one of the
ten cabinet ministers, neither of the
chief justices nor of the attorneys
general of the higher courts reck-
ons Paris as his birthplace, nor does
the governor of the bank of France.
Somewhat similar results are OBJ
tanned by scanning the lists of distin-
guished scholars, artists, journalists,
soldiers. From the provinces have
come a disproportionate majority of
the men whose success in life makes
Paris famous. Such facts are more
striking in the case of the French cap
ital, whose preponderance over the
rest of the country has been SO long
established, than they would be in
newer country, where the headlong
rush to the cities is comparatively
new thing.

100000 Gallons of water Used III
AsheViIle In Five Hours.

Every citizen of Ashcvile who takes an
interest in the city's affairs will be fur
thcr interested by statement concern
ing the consumption of water by renters
in Ashcyillc, the facts coming from
Mayer Patton, who has given the water
question much study.
At midnight last night there were
$50, 900 gallons OF water stored in the
reservoir and standpipe. At 5 O'Clock
this morning this amount had been en-
tircly used up. A little calculation on
these figures show that at this rate the
consumers were using water at the rate
of nearly 100 gallons day for every man,
woman and child iii Ashevillc. And this
| too during the early hours of the morn
ing. when the consumption would seem
| to be less than at any time of the day or
night.
| These figures show that there is cxccs-
sive waste Of the water that it has cost
thousands to turn into the city, and is
another strong argument for the meter
system. A few meters have been put III
here and the Board is well pleased with
their working. Alderman Westall tells
of ono livery stable that put i'll meter
in preference to paving new rates as fixed
by the Board. After few days work II
was found that the water used wouldcos
the owners of the stable $1.75 a day i
the usual rate of consumption was kept
up. The meter rate Gxcd by the Boart
is 25 cents thousand gallons. Where
consumers prefer. the authorities place {
meter in the building and make charge:
only by the registry of the machine.
