A good cat story, says the London cor
respondent of the Yorkshire Post, comes
from Bombay. InAugust Liverpool resi-
dent proceeding to Bombay took out with
him a cat which he intended to present to
a friend in India. Some days after the ar
rival of the steamer in Bombay pussy was
missed, and though she was searched for
high and low she was nowhere to be found.
Her owner had quite given her up for lost
when he received intelligence from Eng.
land that the cat had made her appearance
at her old Liverpool home as calm and col
lected as though a trip to India and back
was quite in the ordinary course Of her life.
The facts are vouched for by u Bombay pa
per, and there is no reason to doubt their
substantial accuracy, but it is not made
clear whether the cat was not slowed away
in the steamer in which she went out TO In
dia and carried back on its return voyage
in the ordinary course. Under any circum
stances her adventures are, however, sufii
ciently remarkable to deserve recording

THE AUTOMATIC HANGING MACHINE,

In front of the condemned man. in this
position he has clear view of the prisoner,
and also Of dial over the door through
which the man must pass.
Instantly the platform settles lever is
worked which releases an adjustable slid
ing valve at the bottom of cylinder (C),
containing so pounds of Shot Like the
sand in an hourglass, the shot runs out of
the opening. This allows plunger OBJ to
drop slowly into the cylinder AS this
falls it pulls a cord (E), attached to which
is compound lever (F), and also works
the dial, giving warning as to the prog
ress of the machine. This mechanism can
be set for any time desired. AS the cord
tightens and is pulled downward by the
plunger it slowly opens the compound
lever, which at certain angle, perfectly
adjusted, pulls bolt, and the great dead
weight (D) is released.
AS the big weight falls down the grooved
track to the ground under the building
the hempen rope, running over pulleys on
a cross beam (F), will quickly jerk the
condemned man seven feet into the air. On
the drop there will be a rebound and the
man will be suspended with his feet about
two feet from the floor.
The mechanism is inclosed by parti-
tion along the entire side, so that nothing
can be seen by the condemned man except
the moose. The machine works noiseless-
ly, and the weight falls upon soft dirt.

The last time that spoons were vividly

preaching the climax of his speech lowered
aiarge spoon on string till it hung within
sioot of him. The generals eye had not
Ueen operated on then, and he could not SEE
very well.
The indistinct vision of something in the
air caused him to step back pace or two
and strike at with his hand. He probably
thought it was fly. The spoon descended
another foot, and he then recognized it.
Inc spectators were watching the scene in
speeclless ama2ement, wondering what
would happen next. The lecturer paused
amoment, then quietly extended his hand
and grasped the spoon.

WILL 1T BE HEAVEN WITHOUT THEM
A Jersey Preacher Thinks Women VIII Be
Shut Ont of Paradise,

Rev. R. A. Motley of Jersey City seems
to entertain a rather selfish view of the
hereafter. He has decided that no women
need apply at the gate of st. Peter and
quotes the following verses from Mark xii
in support of his conclusions:
'Now there were seven brethren, and
the first took wife, and, dying, left no
seed. And the second took her and died,
neither left he any seed, and the third
likewise. And the seven had her and
left no seed. Last of all the woman died
also.
I'm the resurrection therefore, when
5hey shall rise, whose wife shall she be of
them, for the seven had her to wife? And
Jesus answering said unto them; Do ye
not therefore err, because yc know not the
Scriptures, neither the power of GodS For
