A GIRL AND A WILD CAT.
The Cat Smelled Mince Meat, But
Wasn't Permitted to Get It.

Wasn't Permitted TO Get IL.
n. Y. Sun.
Miss Angie Hosmer, a daughter
of Elijah Hosmer, of Spruce Hill,
Sullivan county, carries revolver
and knows how to handle it. On
last Tuesday morning Miss Hos
mer started for the honse of her
sister, Mrs. Abel Fitch, who lives
on the Clark road, three miles west
of Mr.. Hosmer's. Miss HOsmer had
a quantity Of mince meat in bas-
ket for her sister, and while she was
trudging through the Ames hem
lock woods to Mrs. Fitch's, she
heard footsteps behind her, and
looking back she was startled to
see a wild cat following her. The
wild cat was working its sntellers,
Miss Hosmer said, as though it had
got scent of the mince meat, so she
struck into a faster walk, thinking
to throw the animal off the scent
and thereby get rid of it without
any trouble.
| The wild cat also increased its
speed, and when Miss Hosmer
glanced back again it was closer to
her than at first, and was licking
its chops as though it imagined it
could almost taste the food in the
basket. Seeing that the wild cat
was bent on following her, Miss
Hosmer shouted at it to scare it
away but in that she failed, for
the wild cat instead of turning
back, began to lash its tail fiercely
and to show by the swapping Of its
eyes that it was angry, and not
frightened, at the young woman's
voice.
Miss Hosmer came to the cOnclu-
sion that il would not be safeeither
to proceed or shout any more at the
wild cat, so she pulled off her nit
tens, got the revolver from her
poke, and placed the basket on the
ground. Hardly had she done so
when the wild cat sprang at the
basket and started to tear it open.
Miss Hosmer then blazed away at
the fierce brute, sending bullet
into its head killing it almost in
stantly. 1t had nearly wrecked
the basket but it hadn't got at the
meat. Miss Hosmer dragged the
the wild cats carcass over to her
sisters, and presented it to Mr..
Fitch, who is going to have it
mounted. 1t weighed 234 pounds.

STYLES IN HEARSES.

Simple at Present, the Tendency is
Toward Even Less Display.
New York Sun.
A hearse built for city use usu-
ally costs from $1,000 to $500;
more costly hearses are sometimes
made, but not often. Hearses
built for use in the country are
generally cheaper, costing from
$500 to $1,000. In suburban towns
10 the neighborhood of New York
the hearses used are of the same
style and the same cost as those
built for city use. The cheaper
hearses sold in country towns go
usually to places where there is no
competition. 1t sometimes happens
in towns or small cities, even in
remote parts Of the country, where
there are competing undertakers,
that the heaases used are as mod
ern in style and as costly as those
used in the city.
The present style Of hearse is
square, with plain glass sides. 1t
is simpler than any ever before
used, and the tendency is toward
still greater simplicity. Urns vary
ing in number are still used upon
the roofs of hearses, and the tips
of these urns can be removed and
plumes placed in their sockets
but these urns are also so made
that they may be detached entire
ly, and they are nowadays fire.
quently removed leaving the roof
perfectly clear. Hearses in this
form are more and more used by
persons seeking to avoid display
DrapCries are so made that they
may be used inside the hearse OIL
placed upon the outside com plete'
ly shielding the casket from view
In these days of funeral directors
the hearse is sometimes called a
funeral car.
When the style changes, hearses
of the present style have been in
use about ten years, and the
city undertaken buys q
new hearse, the manufacture
er takes the old one in
exchange. The secondhand hearsC
is put in order and sold to an un
dertaker in the country. AS time
goes on the old hearse recedes t.
some part still more remote; il
might be difficult to say just wha1
finally becomes of it.
American-built hearses are sole
in Mexico, Central America, Cuba
and South America. Hearses tha'
are more elaborate in design anC
finish and more costly are sold IL
those countries. Not infrequently
they are finished with gold fringe
and tassels instead of black, anC
with carved work picked out will
gold instead Of being finished il
PLAIN black. Perhaps the mos
costly hearse of American-builC
sold in South American was on
sold about three years ago for Sc,
900, to go to Caracas.
All hearses are provided will
lamps. There are probably yer!
few city people who ever saw
hearse with lighted lamps; tina
would not be so remarkable a sight
however, in the country, wher
hearses go long distance.

sDoing" the Cheap Jack.

A cheap Jack was trying to attract an
audience in market town the other day,
and by way of astonishing people he first
of all offered genuine half sovereign for
auction and declared he would really give
it to the highest bidder. People were skep-
teal at first, but after carefully examining
the coin, they concluded it was a good
one, so bidding began at Cd. and rapidly
went up to Is.
Above that point, however, things went
on rather slowly, as vague shadow OF
misgiving was apparently abroad, until,
On reaching the sum of IS. 3D., no further
bids were forthcoming. The hammer fell.
"Here you are, sir, it's yours" says Jack
to a rustic who had made the last bid.
HHand over your SIS. cd. please"
But the simple swain knew better. "Ah,
I'm agreeable, sir, said he, ''but just give
me the change" So the half sovereign
bought itself, and the calculating rustic
walked off with the Is. Cd. to the amuse-
ment and establishment of the audience

CHANGE IN POTATO ROTATIONS.
Rendered Necessary Owing to the Increas-
ing Prevalence of FungouB Diseases.

Rendered Necessary Owing to the Ancreas-
ing Prevalence of FungouS Diseases.
To rotate crops so that potatoes shall
not be grown successfully on the same
land Is more than ever necessary. The
germs OF potato disease are believed to
live two or three years under some condl-
tons, so that if the potato field be seed
ed with clover and this be plowed under
the first or even second year OF growth
there will be some germs of the fungus,
which will rapidly increase as soon as
potatoes are again grown on the land.
A longer rotation between potato crops,
so as to give time for a thorough extir-
patton of the germs of disease in the soil,
is now needed. Growing a corn crop
after the first seeding with clover after
potatoes, and then seeding with clover
again and blowing under this second
crop for potatoes. will efectually de-
stroy the germs of potato disease in the
soil, according to American Cultivator,
from which the following is reproduced:
There are some who would follow a
corn crop on plowed clover ley with a
potato crop, giving it the benefit of the
second years use of the fermentlns
clover sod as fertilizer. But though
this makes the potato crop less liable to
injury from blight and rot it does not
secure SO large crops of potatoes as will
the blowing under of a clover ley after
the land has been long enough uncrop.

of disease. 1t is better not to bring pc.
tatoes again on the same field until five,
six or seven years after the land has been
In potatoes before. If this rule be adhered
to and the germs of blight that float in
the atmosphere are destroyed by spray
ing the foliage with copper solutions, it
will be possible to grow potatoes again
without fear of blight or rot. Of courst
1t will be necessary to destroy all dead
potato tops by burning them when dry
either in the fall or winter.
When farmer finds that one field
brings large return in potatoes, he is
apt to bring it again to this crop sooner
than he should. 1t will cost some money
to underdrain and manure the neglected
parts of the farm so as to fit them fol

the potato crop much surer than it now
is and will abundantly pay in the end

drained to produce potato yield that
the very first season will repay the ex-
pense of the undertaking.
Fresh manure is thus constant source
of potato disease on farms where large
amounts of potatoes are yearly grown
There are always many potatoes toe
small or otherwise unstable, and these
are fed raw to the stock. Cooking these
potatoes effectually destroys the germs
of disease, besides making the potato
more digestible.

Practical Philanthropy.

Mrs Frederick Vanderbilt likes to fit
girls for self support. Through the pas
tors of the foreign missionary churches in
out of the way corners of New York she
learns of girls Of ability who only need
start. This she furnishes by sending the
girl $500. One girl thus helped fitted her
self at cooking school for the position of
a Gordon bleu; another went to training
school for nurses; another studied art.
Every year at least 10 young women are
thus started in life.-New York Examiner.

THAT DAY.

am drea ming, sweetheart, dreaming Of the
day-that wondrous day
When your eyes, with lovelght sparkling, will
beautify my way,
And all hopes of fame and glory in the dis
lance fade from view
When dreams of that day, dear one, make my
heart beat all for you.
No cloudlet hovers lonely in the beaming
stretch of sky,
As that day SO full of promise on the wings of
love draws nigh.
In every flash of sunshine, on the roses bloom
ing fair,
see the bright reflection Of my sweetheart
painted there.
The gentle breeze that's toying with the daisies
in the fields
Tips with playful impudence, and kisses for
me steals
From those lips of richest ruby, where smiles
forever stay
A welcome from my sweetheart and token of
that day.
