While extending and repairing the old
buildings of the late Royal Naval school
at New Cross, S. E., which is shortly to
be opened by the Goldsmiths' company
as their Technical and Recreative instl-
tute, it became necessary to remove the
floor of the old gymnasium In dong so
the worklnen discovered the skeleton OF
a cat in close juxtaposition to that OF a
RAT. The bodies of the animals were not
quite two inches apart in sort OF
wedged shaped cul de sac. which was
wider at the top than the bottom, and
so preventing the cat from quite reach
inc the rat. When found, the entrance
TO the hole or passage was filled up with
dust and rubbish, and there was nothing
to prevent egress of the animals by the
wav they had entered except the disin-
clination of the cat to leave its prey.
The skeletons when found were more
than half covered with dust from the
floor above them, and have probably
been many years in the position they
were found, in which position Mr., Red
mayne. secretary of the Goldsmiths' IN,
stitute, has had them carefully mounted
and photographed. A curious GOMEZ
dence is that exactly the same discovery
of the skeletons of cat and rat together
under floor occurred while pulllne
down some old buildings to construct
the Peoples palace, which is the imme
date predecessor Of the Goidslnlths IN

Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone were staying at
the country house of friend, and in ac-
cordance with their usual custom attend
ed o'clock service, before breakfast, at
the parish church. Coming out OF church
Mrs. Gladstone was walking off one way,
when Mr.. Gladstone called to her, Come
this way; this is nearest" She replied, Il
don't think it is very near" and wanted to
argue the point.
But, an unusual thing for him, he was in
no mood for arguing, and said: We'll
easily settle this question as to which is the
shortest way. You go one way, I'll go the
other, and see who arrives home first" OFF
he started one way; she the other 1t is
needless to say he arrived home easily first.
He went as hard as he could go, and would
have killed himself rather than she should
win, but whether it proved which way was
the shorter is another matter; anyway he
was satisfied.

Strange to say, there are very few women
who understand the difficult art of using
perfumes 1t is a great mistake to change
in this respect, according to the dictates Of
fashion, and thoroughly refined and ele-
giant woman never commits this error. She
adopts one particular scent and uses it to
the seclusion of all others, rendering it thus
peculiarly her own, proceeding which
stamps her at once with ''cachet" of
daintiness and exclusiveness. 1t need not
be added that heavy scents are vulgar and
disagreeable, besides being positively dis
tressing to persons whose olfactory nerves
are delicate and sensitive. Something
slight and subtle, such as a mixture of peau
Espagne and Russian violet, or gray am
Der and sandalwood, is exquisite. Partisan
dressmakers and couturiers never omit to
ask when dress is ordered from them what
perfume is adopted by their client, and
they then proceed to introduce between the
Innings tiny fiat sachets prepared in ac-
cordance with the answer. These are mex
pensive little details, which add greatly to
the charm of toilet and which anybody
can afford to indulge in.-New York Trib

Beyond question the blue jay is the
prettiest of American cone bills AS his
name indicates. blue is the predominant
color of his plumage, and it runs through
all its most beautiful shades along his
back and tail until it merges into silver
white on his breast. He has heavy,
pointed crest of dark, yet brilliant feath-
ers raised above his head. His eyes are
large, fierce and radiant, and his bill is
short and strong. He is somewhat
larger than the black faced redbird of
the south, which he resembles very
closely in shape and in the way he flies.
The common cry of the blue jay is
harsh and disagreeable, and it sounds
not unlike "de-jay, delay" but his love
notes are tender and sweet, ''too-loo-loo,
too-loo-loo," as if his mates name was
Lulu. He cannot be tanned, and is quite
unlike himself when caged.-Philadel-

Where Crocodiles Are Found.

Crocodiles are found in Africa, Asia,
the tropical parts of Australia, Central
America and the West Indies. while the
alligators, with the exception of one spe-
cies discovered some few years since in
China, are found only in America. They
are all of them terribly destructive crea-
lures. The young feed principally on
fish. but as they grow larger they attack
every animal that they can overcome,
dragging their prey into the water and
so drowning it. 1t has been said that
more people are killed by crocodiles than
by any other of the wild beasts of Africa

Advantage Of Poor Clothes.

If you want to deal with New York
truckmen, cabmen, street vendors, and
many small tradesmen at bottom figures,
wear poor clothes or send somebody else.
The well dressed man who carries about
in his personal appearance the signs of
prosperity will often be compelled to
pay double. He will frequently be made
the victim of various kinds of extortion,
and will get no sympathy from any
quarter. On the other hand, the poor
have soft heart for each other, and the
appearance Of poverty insures the lowest
cash price for goods or service.
If you don't believe this. try it on
some favorable occasion, and you will
be both amused and instructed

Mr. Selous' authority for saying that he
is extinct. 1t is to the occupation Of
northern Mashonaland. which has kept
the native hunters to the west of the

tributes the fact that in this part a few
specimens still survive the constant per-
secution which in less than twenty years
has utterly exterminated them in every
other portion of south central Africa.

Girls, as rule, respond more quickly to

So far as my personal experiences are

almost every case where have sought by
the means within my power to make it pos

Ihave up to this time educated, or rather
been the means of educating, between three

have been rewarded by their gratitude,
their aptitude, their general excellence in
behavior, and their more than general sue
cess in their chosen careers The girls in
whom have been especially interested ard

me are the daughters of journalists-the
men and women of my own profession are

the daughters of clergymen. AS a rule the

therefore been with particular pleasure that
have afforded them opportunities to help
themselves.
