THE CAT CAME IN.
Is It the Reincarnation of the Old Musi-
clan Who Didn't Come BackP

Is 1t the Reincarnation of the Old MuSi-
clan Who Didn't Come BackP
"Hants? Why of course believe in
them," said Wes Hearn to group Of
congenial Bohemians crowded around
the lunch counter about midnight
There's hant now," and he pointed
to big black cat which stealtkily made
its way in the door and under table, out
of the shadow Of which his eyes glowed
red and green. THAT cats hant and a
mascot all in one.
Zone stormy night about four years
ago he came in here, and he's never been
away since. There used to be an old
musician who visited US every night
steady for years He used to come in
hollow eyed and haggard. He never said
a word, but laid down his money, got
his bracerlOldL Tom gin-always the
same, and went on his way. The utn1v
the cat came in the night man noticed
that the old musician hadn't appeared It
was stormy night, too, just about this
time. The wind howled and moaned,
and the lightning flashed in red ribbons,
while the thunder cracked like the guns
Ct battle and reverberated in a boom
that made all the dishes in the house
rattle. It was bad night, too dismal
by far for people to be out in. Every
body was sitting around the stove talk
ing. Just as the clock was striking 10,
Mr. Frazee expressed wonder that the
old man, meaning the musician, hadn' t
come in. At that moment the big black
cat came in and took his place by the
stove and never uttered meow, and he's
never been away since, and, more than
that, he never sleeps. If that cat should
go to sleep, believe the house would
fall down Once in awhile he gets lit
tie bit sick, and then everything goes
wrong.
'But the strange part of the story is
that the old musician never came back
Two days later he was pulled out of the
river dead. He must have jumped in the
same night that cat came / believe the
Spirit of that old man is in that cat.
What makes me believe SO is that as
soon as band passes that door playing
that cat makes for the river as fast as he
can tear. He goes away the moment any
music is heard, and he doesn't tarry
when he starts What he goes to the
river for don't know. Perhaps it was
music that drove the old man crazy.
I've heard some music that would drive
anybody so. FLORIDA Times Union.

An Effective Whistle.

One Of the popular English authors of
the day was wholly incapacitated from
work by lady who lived next door and
strummed through Handel's messiah. :"
His idea Of the inviolability of an Eng
lishman's house did not allow him to
send in any message, and he was at his
wits end till he saw in daily paper
that steam whistles could be bought to
fit onto kettle spouts. He provided him
self with one and put the kettle ON the
fire in the room nearest the singer. As
soon as the whistle began he went out.
OF course the bottom came off the ket
tie, but it cost little to solder it on
again, and after two or three solderings
the lady took the hint.-San Francisco

PopulatIon of the Ocean.

A striking proof of the vastness and
variety of the population Of the sea has
been furnished by the results of explora-
tions made by committee Of the zoolog
ical department of the British associa-
tion in that part Of the Irish sea sur
rounding the isle of Man
Out of 1000 species of marine ami
mails collected, 224 had never before been
found in that region, 3S were previously
unknown as inhabitants of British wa
ters, and II were entirely new to science.
Indeed they were animals whose exist
ence had never been suspected.
II such discoveries reward few weeks
of searching in so minute speck of the
sea, how many volumes would be re-
quired to contain list of the still undis-
covered Inhabitants of the great oceans?
