a.-...... l;eIiied Jail Cat.

A cat has grown up in the Camden county jail in an eccentric sort of way. It has been tine especial pct of all the pris- oners and is on calling terms with tho elite of murdercrs' TOW It has fared well at tho hands of its admirers, who spare some scraps from their scant rations, but it steadily refused to grow sleek and fat as all well regulated and well fed cats should do, but, on the contrary, has reach ed a slabsidcd maturity that was. for & time mystery to the jail officials. No one could account for its knife blado shape Finally it was noticed that it just snugly fitted in between tho bars as it passed in and out of the cells. Then it was found that this constant movement had kept it's lateral growth down, while it developed properly in all other directions. ns.-Philadel- uhja Record

AwI<wnrdly Told.
 Last year, while certain distinguished English lady was travelling in this coun- try, she expressed astonishment at tho vast fields of corn presented to her view during a journey through Indiana and Illinois, and she wondered what the Americans did with tho enormous crop. To this a bright young American girl in the party answered, We cat what wo can and can what we can't" The witticisIn would have been lost upon her ladyship had it not been for tho friendly offices of others in the party, who, by dint of labor, diagrams, chisels, etc., finally got her ludyship to seo the point of the joke. Then her ladyship was so pleased that she put it down in her notebook to spring it upon her friends at home This is tho way tho witticism sounded when it was let loose at one of her ladyship's dinner parties, Tn America, you know, they have so much maizc that they cat what they can and tin what they can t. /"
 When the Knights Tomplars journcycd to San Francisco, tho most fclicitous toast offered at their splendid banquet was in these words: 'Thc ladies-Gotlb bless thcml What would our Knights be without then?" An Englishnan present was so delighted with the plcasantry-for tho British adore punuing--that when he got back to Australia lie attempted to perpe- tratc the toast at local banquet, and ho wondered why there was no outburst of hilarious applause when he arose solcmnly and cried passionatcly: "'rhe ladics-God bless thcml What would our Knights Tclnplars bo without thcm?''

The claim is made for Germany Of
having the most complete and success
full system of sewage disposal of any
country on the continent Of Europe.
In Berlin, where the features of this
system are so perfectly represented,
the drains from the houses receive
both the rain water, the refuse water
from the kitchen, etc, and the con-
tents Of the water closets conducting
them to an arrangement of radial
sewers, through which, by natural
fall, they pass to a dozen different
pumping stations within the area Of
the town. From these the sewage,
through the medium of combined
force and suction pumps, proceeds
through pipes of three feet or still
greater diameter to the land which
the corporation of Berlin possesses,
the material thence making its final
exit through a system Of conduits SO
arranged that, before reaching them.
it has parted with all it's manurial
power to the soil through which it is
made to pass. The sewage water thus
filtered reaches the river through the
natural fall of the conduits in COM
paratively purified state,

In an interview with q reporter of
the New York Sun the representative
Of the Hamburg-American line de-
clared the number of steerage passen-
gers going to Europe from this coun-
try within five months was surprising
ly large as compared with the same
period of 1893. In the case of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. line the increase
has been almost 80 per cent. The rep
resentative of the Anchor line reported
that the exodus by his line had never
been equaled, and was les per cent
greater during the first five months of
the present year than during the same
time in 1893. One of the vessels of the
Red Star line on her last voyage
brought in 80 immigrants and returned
with $50. The French line reports al
most the same condition of affairs.
The North German Lloyd, while not
carrying so many eastward as some Of
the other lines, reports decline Of
about 100 per cent in the westward
bound emigrant traffic. The Cunard
lines eastward emigrant business in
creased about one-third over the
figures Of last year for the period
named. This is the first year in the
history of the traffic when the outgo-
ing Storage passengers outnumbered
the incoming.
