A CATS WONDERFUL HIDE.

Clinging to the Axle on an Express
Train, Pussy Made $50 Revolutions
Per Minute and Travelled ~ Miles.
From the New York WoAd.
Cats have shown wonderful bowers of
coming unscathed out of perlous posi-
tions, if half the stories which have been
told are true, and the latest cat story,
which comes from England, proves no
exception to the rule The cat in this
case lived in London. but for some reason
IL perched itself upon an axle of one of
the cars composing an express train on
the Midland hallway. The train is fast
one and did not stop until it reaO he'd het-
terlng, seventy-two miles from the start
ing point. There the t,ainmen, making
their rounds of inspection, found Pussy
stu perched upon the axle, somewhat
dizzy and much rumUleL as to fur, but
stlll ready for more adventures.
The railroad men were puz led to know
how the cat could haveretained her hold
upon piece of iron revolving hundreds
OF times per minute, and the more they
discussed IL the greater was their aston
lshment. Finally, a Manchester engi-
neer determined to tgIre out just what
that cats endurance amounted TO. He
consulted the time-taDl to find the speed
OF the train, and got he dimensions of
tH0 Car Wheels from Lnt company S OHlcl-
ais. Then he started his figuring.
Supposing the wheels to be 3 feet 6
inches in diameter, and the distance from
the terminus at ST. Pacras to Kettering
10 be seventy.two mics. he found that
the pussy cat must have performed "a $50
re olutlons in one hour and twenty-seven
minutes, which is iol that only very
big, powerful and exceptionally determ-
med ten-pound cat could hope to tackle
with any hope of success.
IIhen the engineer lad recourse to a
diagram of the cat sling to the axle to
ana him in his furmer calculations.
Pussy's center of grivity, he figured,
would fall about twelve inches from the
center of the axle, and 1t speed of sixty
miles an hour it would reel OF the mere
bagatelle of 4o0 revolutions minute, the
velocity or her center of gravity mean
while being fifty feet per second. He then
tounq that there had been something like
seven hundredweieht thrown upon the
leading claws when travelling at full
speed.
The engineer then male a personal ex-
animation of the cat, taxing exact meas
urements of her toenaik, and, as a result
OF more calculations of very fine nature,
he found that Pussy's resistance to cen
trltugal force was equal to seventeen tons
per square inch of claw section. There
were other factors to be considered in an
exact solution of the matter, such as
wind resistance when passing through
the top centers. But theen gineer thought
he had gone about far enough.

MIXED THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
Startling Results of the Pictorial En-

From the Philadelphia Call


A morning newspaper displayed on one
of its pages the day after the republican
convention a series o admirable portraits
of the nominees. The pictures were scat
tered through the general reading matter
of the page, and at a frs glance the ef-
feet was somewhat startling.
The friends of Candida Smithers. for
instance, were amazed when they unfolded
this particular paper to see that gentle

FOR A GREATER NEW YORK.
Busy Week Begun by the Lawmakers
 at Albany.

ALBANY, Jan. 15.-For the third week in the legislature this will probably be the most important in many years. Contrary to the usual method of proceeding, a great many Of the more important measures pro- posed for the session were introduced dur ing the first few days.
 Perhaps the most important work of the week will be the hearing before the cities committees of the senate and assembly on Wednesday afternoon for the bill provid- ing and submitting to the people of the territory sought to be consolidated the question of a greater New York. The hear ing will be held in the senate chamber, and large delegations are expected to be present.
 On Tuesday afternoon the same commit tees will meet to hear arguments upon the Buffalo charter amendments designed to restore the charter to the shape in which it was last year before the Sheehan bills were passed. It is expected that very large delegations to support both sides of the question will be present from Buffalo.
 No date has as yet been set by the com mittee on judiciary of either house for hearings upon the proposed amendments to the election laws, and probably there will not be any this week. Neither has any day been set for hearing upon Sena- tor Leow's bill providing for a nonpartisan police commission in New York city. This is a subject upon which other bills are lia- bic to be introduced, probable one being the measure to be prepared by Elihu Root, which will divorce the election bureau from the police commissioners and have it composed of two Democrats and three Re publicans, one Republican and one Demo crat to be members of the bar and all to serve without salary

How to Avoid il Cold.

Keep your mouth shut. If people would only 0o this, they would avoid colds and coughs and ofttimes serious illness. The prescription is very sim pie one, and not even the merit of orig nality can be claimed for it, but it un- doubtedly is et1icacious. MT. Catlin, the celebrated traveller among the North American Indians, discovered that they were free from many of the diseases which affiict civilized nations, and he attributed this exemption to the prac- tice of keeping their mouths closed at almost all times. except when they are eating or talking. The mothers teach the children this from their earliest in- fancy And does it not stand to reason that it is better to breathe through the nostrils the chilly air when leaving a heated room for the street, CT even when going into cold passage, than letting it go straight to the lungs in an ordinary way? MT. Catlin declares that shut your mouth is the most important motto which the human lan- puaoe can convey.

 There has recently been great change in bedroom washstand appoint ments. The water jug with square mouth has been replaced by those set in a stand and requiring merely to be tilt ed. The patterns of the Doulton ware seem most attractive. The newest re- ceptacles for tooth and nail brushes are upright jars. There is a decided tend ency for plain milk white table ware. Its merit lies in its strength and in the fact that it can be easily matched. Tbe Shropshire variety of this pure white ware has already been seen in the dain- ty covered tea cups and bread and but ter plates shown for some time past for invalid and bedroom use.

A GRAVE SUBJECT.
"A Flash of Light on Our
 Duty to the Dead.

The Jew on the Gentle, the Atheist CT of belief, stands in silent communion with himself as he looks for the last time on the form and features of his dead friend. What Is our duty on these OCCASIONS: It consists of rendering whatever assistance we can when called upon, and to do 1t promptly and without reserve. To be asked by the family to act as Pall-bearer is a special mark of respect, and there Is no excuse for being late and keeping the funeral waiting. Hackmen are paid to be on time, and they always have plenty of notice when the funeral takes place. We have spent ten years trying to educate haekmen to their duty. When we want them to remember anything We write it down in red ink and paste 1t in their hats We know they won't forget their hats. Very often people have to sit up for weeks with their sick friends and are therefore in d weak condition. This is why so many object to standing so long garound the grave at interment, especially in cold weather It Is very easy to catch cold and disease standing still. However, the wishes of the family become a duty with us. We always make it a point to consult every wish of the family and that is why our funerals pass of with such little friction. Our patrons always become our friends.

JOYCE HOLDS THE FORT.
With Two Revolvers the Principal Re
 fuses to Give Up His School.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 15.-Martin Joyce, employed as principal of the public school in Lackawanna township, has turned the school into fort, which he guards with the aid of two large sized revolvers. Prin- cipal Joyce had frequent complaints made against him to the school directors. It is alleged that he gave grave offense to the fe- male portion of his school.
 At the meeting of the school board last Monday it was decided to close the school on Thursday, and after that day Joyce was not to be an employee of the town- ship. On Thursday, when Director Mor- gan went to the school after his keys, he was met at the door by Mir. Joyce, who pointed a brace of revolvers at him and ordered him away, refusing to hand over the keys.
 Joyce staid in the building all night. On Friday morning Joyce refused the janitor admittance to the building. He opened for school at the regular hour. A few pu- pills came, and through them Joyce got provisions and oil for lamp to burn at night. The schoolteacher was still in pow CT Sunday, and when the constable de- manded the keys of the building he was informed that he could not have them. It is customary to hold Sunday school in the public schoolhouse. but no services were held, as Joyce refused to grant admission to the building to any one. The school di- rectors will appeal to Sheriff Fahey to have Joyce dislodged.
