Why 1t Is ga TabbY Cat"

Some writers on the curiosity of
animal nomenclature tell us that the
reason we call feline of certain
markings Of color 'tabby" cat is
because Tabitha was the goddess of
the crooked clawed species. Wag-
ner's Names and Their Meaning"
although it has a splendid depart
ment ON the nicknames of birds, does
not refer to those applied to the ami
mai species at all, therefore it will be
of no use to consult that work to find
out why "tabby' cat bears its
unique name, or why a Jerusalem"
donkey is 50 called.
In a curious old work priuted in
London III 1866 entitled Names AID,
piled to Animate Things, " l find the
following, which seems to explain
the tabby cat enigma: The termt
Table Cat is derived from Atab, {
famouse streete i'll Bagdad, a cittie O.
the Orient. This streete is inhabited
by the manufacturers of a sillzen STUFF
called 'atabi, the wave dmarkings o
the watered silke resembling a cat
coat From that we call all cats 81
marked 'ata'b, 'atabbie, or simpl,

Iht+Su wide Open and Tor
HeadIOng to Death.
On Wednesday morning last there
started ffom the station at Padua
q. the Bologna railway line, a goods
ilTrin that should have reached 30
logna in the evening. There were
GA the engine the driver and stoker
10th natives of Bologna. On the trair
arriving at Foggio Renatico, small
station close to Ferrara, the stokel
found some means to get rid of the
driver. He told HIM that the station
master wanted him. The driver, as
he afterward asserted, left the train
without the slightest suspicion of
anything.
The stoker then, without being
seen, detached the engine from the
rest of the train, put on full steam
and started off with the engine. He
tied the spring of the whistle down
in such way that the engine ca
reered along at always increasing
speed, whistling all the time. He
also kept filing up the furnace, so
that there was no chance of the
engine working itself out. The en-
CINE at a tremendous pace passed
through five stations.
The Bologna papers say that for
those who witnessed the mad race
of the engine, going to certain ruin
as it rushed through the different
stations, the spectacle was terrible.
At all the stations the officials rushed
out and made signs for him to stop,
at the same time turning on all the
danger signals The stoker, how
ever, stood calmly looking out of the
cab of the engine without taking tire
slightest notice.
AT the different crossroads the
men appointed to bar them when
the trains passed, on hearing the
whistle, We're able 30 do SO II time,
or some bad accident might have
happened. kilograms were immedi-
ately sent to the station at Bologna
warning the station master. He at
once had the principal line cleared
and switches put on which would
turn the engine on to side line.
The engine soon appeared at full
speed, and men were stationed along
the line to call out to the stoker to
stop or to throw himself off the en-
CINE. He stood there, however, look
ing as pale as death, but only smiled
at the shouted warnings Of the men.
He calmly walked along the side of
the engine and placed himself on
the standing board in front right
under the funnel A moment after
ward the engine dashed into rail
way carriage that had been left on
the side line.
The crash was tremendous, the
carriage was smashed to bits and
the engine damaged in such a way
that it had to be broken up. The
stoker was found under the debris
fearfully crushed but still alive, and
was taken to the hospital 1t is sup
posed that he had gone suddenly
mad.
1t seems, as far as can be made out
by what he said, that his intention
was to commit suicide in that horri-
bic manner because he was mixed up
IN theft of 10 francs and was afraid
OF being found out.-London Tablet.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitunal RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result; and unless the inhamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed
