The Cats Kept Coming Back.

This cat story comes from Free Bap-
tist Clergyman consequently it must be
true In his parish lived man and his
wife, very poor in all their surroundings,
yet firm in the faith. They were very anX-
iOus for the minister to visit them. He did
so and found a poor house, small-very
small. The minister was given bed-the
only bed. He must tarry another night.
He learned that the woman lodged on a
lounge in the living room, said room COM
bining all the requisites of kitchen, din
ing room and parlor, while the lord of the
household slept on the floor In some way
the minister gave them to understand that
it would delight him to lie on the lounge.
When about to retire, he ementioned to the
man that it would he advisable to put
out of doors two cats in the room, which
was done. After lying for few moments
on his couch cut came two cats from be-
meath the lounge, splitting and crying. He
arose and threw them out. Very soon the
same scene was enacted again and again.
until he became disturbed with supersti-
tious emotions. He knew not what to do,
and still they came, and still out they
went, and in they came all the long night
In the morning when the man came in
the dominic asked: "IIow many cats have
you here? have thrown out so or more,
and | don't know but what there are more
under the lounge"
He raised the valance, and 10, n cat hole
through the wall of the house!-Norway

pssn Sea Coolod Champagne.

"Spcaking of chilling champagnes,"
said the captain of the United States sur
vey steamer Albatross, ~ had an expert
ence at sea one Christmas which was not
only peculiar but surprising. We had been
on long cruise and were down near the
tropics at Christmas time. or course we
observed the day as well as possible under
the circumstances, and one OF the features
was fine dinner. We had some cham
pagne on board, but the weather was quite
hot, and having no ice we were at q loss
to find n way to cool the wine, which
could not be endured as it was. During
our cruise we had been making many deep
sea soundings, and it dawned upon US
that by sinking the bottles down in the
sea about a half mile we could find water
cold az ice. This was an inspiration, 80
we thought and we Immediately sent
down lot on wire for refrigeration.
"At the proper time it was drawn up
and placed on the table, and we found the
bottles delightfully."- chilled. When the
steward opened them, however, there was
no pop to the cork, and the wine looked
fiat and bad when served. What was our
astonishment upon tasting 1t to find that
it was pure salt water. Thought first that
it was bad practical joke and ordered
more wine sent down into the cold sea wa
ter. This was intended for the dessert
course, but when it was opened we were
disgusted to again find only salt water
instead Of sparkling champagne, and our
pleasure was spoiled.
"You are probably puzzled to find So
luton to the matter. Well, it is very sim
pie. In the deep sea, at the depth to which
we sank the wine, the pressure is enor-
mousse great, in fact, that the salt wa
ter was forced into the bottles through the
pores in the corks, and being more dense
than the wine completely absorbed it.
That may sound like fish story, but it is
cold fact. Wine and Spirit Gazette.

A GOOD IDEA.

The Board Of Education of the City
of San Francisco has made an order that
the closing hour OF the last Friday after
noon in every school month be set apart
for the purpose Of holding appropriate
patriotic exercises in all the schools of
the City and County Of San Francisco +;
and these exercises shall consit of: First,
singing of the "Star S~pangled Banner"
by the pupils; second, recitations of a
patriotic character by such pupils as
may be selected by the respective teach
ers; third, brief remarks by the teachers
npon the principal blessings of our Gov
eminent, on biographical sketches of
the heroes of our Revolution, or of liv-
ing statesmen fourth, saluting of the
American flag by the pupils.
This is a scheme OF a character that
should obtain in every school depart
ment in the land, says the Sacramento
Record Union. We need by formal OBJ
servance to cultivate in the mind of
youth respect for the laws, love for the
Government, devotion to republican in
situations and recognition of the flag
and what it stands for. All this can be
most easily accomplished by concerted
and regular exercises, and once a mouth

quent enough, indeed. San Francisco
has set a good example by this order
and ought to stimulate all educational
boards TO do likewise.

THE POISON OF CIGARETTES.

The use OF cigarettes is not merely the
use Of tobacco, it is q vice itself. In re-
formatories where the cure of the
opium, alcohol and cigarette habits is a
business, cigarette patients are o res
tricted from smoking cigars Or pipes,
which are regarded as comparatively
HARMLESS. The cigarette works q spec
ial evil of its own which tobacco in other
forms does not effect. This evil result
may be due to drugs, or to the paper
wrappers, or to the fact that the smoke
Of cigarettes is almost always inhaled
into the lungs, while cigar smoke is not.
Az 10 that, let the experts decide; about
the fact OF the effect there is no doubt
and no dearth of evidence. No other
form of tobacco eats. into the will as
cigarettes do. The adult man can carry
off q good deal Of poison Of one kind or
auother without disaster, and his duty
being fixed and his will formed, he is
usually able TO make his minor vices
subservient t his more important oblig-
atoms. And so it happens that it is a
matter of constant obseI walton in clubs,
and whenever there are intelligent men
who allow themselves all the creature
induleences that they dare, that these
experienced persons are. constantly

shorter periods, and smoking cigars in.
