this has gone far enough For. not satisfied
with charging him with other things. the gov
eminent is now charging the defendant with
being a bad lawyer.
Mr. Davis remark caused considerable merri-
ment and the court decided that the matter
had been pursued far enough.
The district attorney closely questioned
Arnold concerning HIS acquaintance with Mrs
Kramer and afso h.s efforts IN her behalf but
ELECTED nothing new. Arnold stated that with
the exception OF the woman and her sister he
had never Mentioned the threats made against

between hiIn and Kramer, Arnold was asked
why he did not leave the spot when Kramer

Prior had several qualifications for
diplomatic work. Though he must come
times have been hampered by his hum
BILE origin, no never failed to maintain
tho dignity Of his official position. His
special knowledge Of commerce, his
readiness, his humor, his fiuency in
French. his familiarity with Horace "a
useful accomplishment in the Augustan
agc) and even zee yisage de bois, as Boil
ingbroke called it, must often have been
Of service 10 him But Prior's life when
ho had the honor Of representing Queen
Anne at the French court was not happy
His letters during that period show that
ho was uneasy about the prospects of his
party and felt his own position to be in
secure
In those days, moreover, the British
government was not good paymaster;
generals had sometimes 10 find money
from their own pockets 10 pay their sol
diera, and ambassadors salaries were
often in arrear. When the crash came,
Prior found himself in an unfortunate
plight. lie was looked coldly on both by
the new administration and by his own
party. II was stated that he had made
revelations, and il was even supposed
that his indiscretion was the cause Of
Bolingbroke's III judged flight. For this
malicious report there is, so far as we
know, no Trustworthy foundation. Lon

AN OFFICIAL CAT.
The New York stock Exchange Feline
Has q Steady Job.

The New York Stock Exchange Feline
Has Steady Job.
1T isn't every cat that has the good
fortune to come into a settled income,
but that pleasing distinction from the
rest of his race is enjoyed by an animal
attached to the produce exchange stat,
says the New York Times. He has had
the job of looking after the mice and
rats on the big exchange floor ever since
his kittenhood, and he is now very
nearly full-grown cat, and stable
one as we'll. Grain samples are sure to
attract the rodents, and the produce ex-
change did not secure exemption from
their visits. Traps were tried with
some success, but the relief thus OBJ
tanned was only temporary, and it was
finally decided to resort to cat. To
secure one which would not run away
at the first opportunity, it was deemed
wise to obtain kitten, which, having
no experience of the delights of mid
night battles on back fences, would be
satisfied to get along without them.
The theory of this has proved to be
correct The cat never leaves the main
floor of the building, and apparently is
satisfied with the hunting ground it
offers, spending the nights there with
praiseworthy regularity. At nine
o'clock each morning he gives up busi-
ness and seeks rest in a carpeted cor
ner of the superintendent's Office:
When the gong rings at three o'clock
to warn the brokers that the exchange
day is over the cat starts out to patrol
his beat, making leisurely circuit of
the hall and completing about the time
the last stragglers are disappearing:
He is good hunter, and eclipses the
achievements of the traps, his presence
on the floor at night having resulted in
rendering the rats and mice far less of
nuisance than they were. His pay
comes in the shape of regular rations,
while polished metal collar about his
neck shows that he is the ''oficial' cat
of the exchange.

SOME FAMOUS OLD WOMEN.

The Countess OF Desmond Lived to 10
145 and Then Died by m Accident.
It is an acknowledged fact that .
great age is attained by women oftener
than by men. Tissot, with what the
st, Louis Post-D Dispatch calls doubtful
gallantry, accounts for this by declar-
ing that the large amount OF talking
for which women are famous is very
healthy exercise and promotes the cir
culation Of the blood without overex-
erting the organs The true reason,
probably, lies in the quieter and more
regular life usually led by women,
whose nervous system and brains are
consequently not worn out so quickly.
as a rule, as those of men. One of the
most famous of female centenarians
was the countess of Desmond. who
lived to be one hundred and forty-fve
and died in the reign of James |. from
the effects of an accident. This won
derfuF woman found herself at the age
of one hundred SO lively and strong as
to be able to take part in a dance, and
when she was one hundred and forty
she travelled all the way from Bristol to
London-no trifling journey in those
days-in order to attend personally to
some business affairs.
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown into the shade by a French
woman, Marie Prion, who died in st.
Colombo in June, 1888, it is said, at the
wonderful age of one hundred and fifty
eight. Toward the end of her life she
lived exclusively on goats milk and
cheese. Although her body was SO
shrunk that she weighed only forty-six
pounds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the last.
It is an extraordinary but incon-
testable fact that some women at the
age when most people die undergo a
sort of natural process of regeneration
the hair and teeth grow again, the
wrinkles disappear from the skin, and
sight and hearing reacquire their
former sharpness A marquise de Mir
abeau is an example of this rare and re-
markable phenomenon; she died at the
age of eighty-six, but a few years be-
fore her death she became in appear
ance quite young again. The same
change happened to a nun of the name
of Marguerite Verdur, who at the age
of sixty two lost her wrinkles, ressained
her sight and grew several new teeth.
When she died, ten years later, her APP
pearance was almost that of young
girl.
