A Cat UsefAl for Once.


The domestic cat has often been
quoted as one of the readiest sources
whence frictlonal electricity may be
derived, but in its latest connection
with electricity it plays an entirely new
part. A building in a Massachusetts,
town has been wired for electric lights
and it was found necessary to pass an
electric wire from one side of room to
the other under the floor. This was
likely to entail serious loss of time
and labor in excavating, but an ingen-
ious ruse got rid of the difficulty. One
OF the men hit upon the plan of making
a hole at each end of the room. Then
taking a long piece of fine twine he
tied it around the body of live kitten,
which was placed through one of the
holes into the space under the floor. BY
little coaxing the cat soon found her
way to the hole at the other end of the
room, where the light was shining in.
Thus the fine twine was passed through
and was attached to stronger piece,
which was in its turn drawn through
and made the means of drawing the
wire right through the opening. -Elec-
trical Review.

in opposition to it we. find purple, it's
contrast, and the same with the other
primaries. The half way color, be-
tween the primary yellow and the Sec
ondary orange, which is yellow-orange,
finds its perfect contrast on the op-
posite side of the circle, which is blue
purple, and SO on all around the circle.
To show the use of the chart as
determiner of harmony we will take as
an example purple. The dots marked
on the line toward the center, white,
denote the various tones of purple pro-
duced by it's admixture with white.
Any of these tones form harmony
with pure purple. Moving along the
circle on each side of the purple we
find it's harmonies decreasing as we
leave it, until we reach it's most i'm
perfect tones, blue-green and red
orange. Continuing the round of the
circle, we approach it's contrasting
colors, gradually getting more pleas
ing until we reach it's perfect contrast
in the primary yellow.
A study of this chart will greatly as
sist the decorator in the grouping of
colors, and it will be useful if kept as

THE GERMAN FRAULEIN.
Her Life Is One of Industry, with Few
Pleasures to Divert Her.

Her Life Is One of Industry, with Few
Pleasures to Divert Her.
We pity the daughter of the self-com-
placent German matron, who describes
in the practical weekly journal for all
housewives" the Furs Haus, the way
in which she divides the girls time.
This energetic mother rouses her
daughter of sixteen at seven a. M sum-
mer or winter. Half an hour later she
must be at breakfast serving her
brothers and sisters, after seeing that
they are properly dressed for school,
Rid of the young folks she must make
her bed and clean and dust the whole
OF the rooms of the house by ten a. m.
On three days in the week she sets out
for dressmaker's and learns the busi-
ness till half past twelve. On the other
three days she practices on the piano
and learns English. Twice week the
hour from twelve to one is devoted to
music lessons. At half-past one dinner
is finished, and the girl herself must put
away and lock up all the remains, after
which she is allowed TO read some en-
tertaining book or play piquet or domi-
noes with her father. At half-past two
she must do plain sewing till four
o'clock, The whole family then take
coffee and walk for an hour and half.
By six her father pounces upon the
unfortunate girl and gives her subject
in history, geography or literature on
which to write theme in the space of
an hour, without book or other assist
ance. Next the young lady must pre-
pare tea, to which the family sit down
at seven o'clock, ''punctually." After
that she may take up her embroidery
or crochet, and the family read aloud in
turns till close upon nine o'clock when
the poor eldest daughter is sent to bed.

THE OYSTERS GROWTH.
Each Overlapping Layer of Shell Means .
Year of Age.

Each Overlapping Layer of Shell Means .
Year of Age.
The oyster at the commencement of
it's career is so small that 1900, 900
would only occupy a square inch. In
SIX months each individual oyster is
large enough to cover half crown,
and in twelve months a crown piece.
The oyster is its own architect, and the
shell grows as the fish inside grows,
being never too small
1t also bears it's age upon it's back,
and it is as easy to tell the age of an
oyster by looking at its shell as it is
that of horses by looking at their
teeth. Everyone who has handled an
oyster shell must have noticed the sue
cessive layers overlapping each other.
These are technically termed shots,
and each one marks years growth, so
that by counting them the age of the
. oyster can be determined.
Up to the time of it's maturity-that
is, when four years of age-the shots
are regular and successive, but after
that time they become irregular and
are piled one upon another, SO that
the shell becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been seen of which
each shell was nine inches thick, whence
they may be guessed to be more than
, nine hundred years old.
One or two million oysters are pro-
duced from a single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted for by the fact
that man is not the only oyster-eating
- IL
and prcys upon it increasingly. A va.
riety of wheik is also very fond OF
young oysters, to get at which he bores
right through the shell and sucks the
fish up through the hole thus made.

She had just come back from the
sunny south" and pinned at her collar
was great yellow dandelion, the
cheeriest, most joyous of flowers, which
would be SO popular if only each scpar-
ate blossom had a money value of half
dollar. And as she stood waiting for
car most of the passers-by glanced, if
no more, at the little fower-sun, and
the visions they saw in it were piled
high around the unconscious girl.
Ghosts of long-dead people looked over
her shoulder, old lovers met above her
head, loving but half forgotten play
mates kissed again in front of her and
the wreathes of countless defunct din
ners crowded and jostled each other
right under her nose and eyes.
An old man passing gazed at the
CHEEKY flower, and straightway there
arose before him grassy field thiclxly
dotted with its sisters, and in the midst
OF it he saw himself trying to fill his
arms with more of them than he could
carry. The old man sighed, for in that
moment he saw how all through the
long years since then he had been load
ing himself with gold of another kind,
hardly more lasting, only to have it
drop from his embrace as he reached
for more.
And joined to this field was another,
in which a middle-aged lady saw her.
self walking with man she should
have married-and did not. The same
sun which frightened these pastures
shone on the lovely face of a maiden
bent over a bunch of ''dandies," and
the young man who saw the dropping
head wore crepe on his hat. The man
whose arm was drawn through his had
a vision, too that of baby (grown to
woman long ago) playing with the
golden blossoms, but neither mentioned
what they saw. Then woman, dressed
all too smartly, tripped along, and the
frozen smile on her painted face
changed to natural sadness as her
eyes fell on the dandelion, for it looked
at her with her mothers tender gaze.
Close behind her came sad-faced,
worn-looking girl. and momentary
youth entered her heart, as she saw the

How a Shoe Is Made.

The Boston Globe says that in pair
OF fine shoes there are sewed pieces,
2 inner soles, stiffenings, 9 pieces of
steel to give spring to the instep, 2
rands, 10 heel-pieces, 2 sole Innings, 20
upper pieces, 80 tacl1s, 10 nails in the
heels and 90 buttons, to say nothing of
thread, both silk and flax, but the Won
der is found in the rapidity with which
these multitudinous pieces are COM
bined in single completed work, for,
as an experiment, some shoe factories
have from the leather completed pair
of shoes in less than an hour and half,
and, as test, single pair of mems
shoes have been finished in twenty
minutes.

van scene which rose before him than
the busy, crowded city. The CHEEKY
whistle of ''St. Patriclz's Day in the
Mornin'," died on his lips as he looked,
and, for a wonder, he passed the next
saloon without going in. The careworn
woman who met him at the door of his
house had been a merry maiden the
day that flower recalled. Following
him closely came two Italian women
and the eyes of both grew moist, and
the baskets poised SO firmly on top of
the black braids trembled sadly. For a
moment the dirty street gave place to a
glimpse of sunlit ocean and breath of
country air. And the eyes of the In
dian woman, who stood on the corner
selling ''sassafras" bark, filed for a mo-
ment with an expression of such bitter
longing that a little child, passing near,
grew afraid and shrunk away.
One after another the crowd hurried
by, and to almost every one the dande-
lion had a message to give. Merry
children, weary invalids, sad passion
ate souls, ight-hearted girls, despair
ing men, thoughtless youths, over
worked horses, homeless dogs, stray
cats, and city-bourlN pigeons, to all it
brought bit of brightness. But the
best thing it did was the reconciliation
it caused between two people who were
enjoying their first quarrel. The be-
ginning of it had been so small that
neither could tell what it was, but it
had progressed finely, and now both
had bad case of heartache. And as
they passed the waiting girl both
thought of the bright June day, not a
year ago, when he had asked the
momentous question. Presently one of
his hands touched hers, it might have
been by accident (but it wasn't), and
somehow it stayed there So that
quarrel came to a premature end, and
the little flower had one good reason
for it's existence, should it's usefulness
ever DO questioned.
But this time the wearer of the sweet
little blossom began to notice the at
tention everyone gave her, and, woman
like, she resented it. Perhaps if size
had realized how many hearts the
homely flower had softened and cheered
she would not have thrown it into the
middle Of the street, with the mental

with the greatest care; rags, fat, bone,
metal, paper stock, ETC., being stored
on the lower deck of the dock. The
silver and jewelry form no small item
of the contractors profit, and the total
value of a scow load is estimated at an
average of two hundred dollars.
The space between the dock plat
forms is often closed in with odds and
ends, and the interior converted into a
miserable habitation by the trimmers,

cans can be bought at such places for

The furnace is an old soap boiler,

the bowl is then filled with cans; a
quart of kerosene poured over them

The heat developed by the oil is not
great enough to attack the tin, but

bottom of the bowl. The solder recov.
