Cold storage Rate. ana Cats.


The Pittsburg Dispatch says that In
the cold storage warehouses in that
city there were no rats or mice. The
temperature in the cold rooms was
too low. The keepers soon found,
however, that the rat is an animal Of
remarkable adaptability After some
of these houses had been in operation
for few months. the attendant Is
found that rats We're at work ia the
rooms where the temperature was
cons family kept below the freezing
point Thew were found to be clothed
in wonderfully long and thick fur,
oven their tapering, snake-lilie tails
being covered by thick growth of
hair Rats whose coats have adapted
themselves to the conditions under
which they live have domesticated
themselves in all storage warehouses
In Pittsburg. The prevalence of rats
in these places led TO the roduction
of cats Now, it is well known that
pussy is a lover of warmth and com.
fort Cats, too, have great adapta.
bility to conditions When cats were
turned loose in the cold rooms they
pinned and died because of the exces-
sive cold.
One cat was finally introduced into
the rooms of the Pennsylvania Stor-
age company which was able TO with
stand the low temperature. She was
a cat of unusually thick fur, and she
thrived and grew fat in quarters
where the temperature was below 30
degrees. BY careful nursing brood
of seven kittens was developed in this
warehouse into sturdy, thick-furred
cats that love an Icelandic cline.
They have been distributed among
the other cold-storage houses of Pitts
burg, and have created Il peculiar
breed of cats. adapted to the condi-
tions under which they must exist 10
to find their prey These cats are
short tailed. chabby pussies, with
hair as thick and full of under fur as
the wild cats of the Canadian woods.
One of the remarkable things about
them is the development of their
"feelers." These long stiff hairs that
protrude from cats nose and eye
broys are. in the ordinary domestic
feline about three inches long In
the cats cultivated in the cold ware
houses the 'feelers' grow to II length
of FIVE and six inches. This is prob
ably because the light is dim in these
places, and all movements must be the
result of the feeling sense. The stor-
age people say that if one Of these
furry cats is taken into the open air,
particularly during the hot spell, it
will die in few hours, 1t can not
endure high temperature, and an
introduction TO stove would send it
into tit.

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the
purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweetest
most delicious food.
The strongest baking powder makes the ightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and strong
est makes the most digestble and wholesome food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of
the baking powder which will give her the best food
with the least trouble?
Dr. Hanes, of Rush Medical College, Consulting

is no lack of color In our gardens
where a proper use has been made Of
these plants The dwarf sunfiowers.
nasturtiums, China asters. marigolds,
coreopsis and many others are very
useful when quantities of flowers are

very beautiful, with its long racemcs
of intense blue flowers which con-
tinue to show themselves in spite of
drouth. The many beautiful forms of
the perennial larkspurs have pushed
this plant aside somewhat but it de-
serves place il every collection Of
annual flowers Of course, there are
many varieties, double and single,
and the colors range through various
shades of blue and white and pink,
but none are more beautiful than
those of n clear deep b'ue The China
asters have been changed by selection
and crossing till the plants differ as
widely in habit as they do in the color
and shape of the flowers One can
hardly go amiss in selecting from the
approved strains of the hes = florists,
whether plants are wanted for bed
ding or for cutting. AS the nights
begin to grow cool the single flow

kinds, are beginning TO do their best.
They come in almost all colors COM
binations of colors and form broad
plants hardly mere than eighteen
inches high, so that they need no
stakes, and produce flowers in the
greatest profusion.
The practice OF sowing the seeds of

to be altogether commended. Those

AMiSCEcEEATI0R TRIAL.

Fostoria, Ohio, is much stirred up over
a miscegenation case that recently occur
red there. The pastor of the Methodist
church of the place, white man named
Thompson, was married to mulattress'
Iibbie Hawk. She is said to be young
woman of good education and refined
manners. She has been member OF MT
Thompson's church for long while, and
has been very active in church work
The minister has been paying her very
marked attention for several months, SO
much so that the officers of the church
have several times demonstrated Win
him about it. Finally he married the
girl and his congregation insisted on his
leaving, and closed the church. North
ern people, many of them, have been
wont to say that they did not see any
thing particularly out of the way IN such
marriages, but when it comes down to
the concrete fact they feel great deal
as the southerners do about it. White
men will be white men. .u
