so common til 1t very few people, unless

tention to cold. New York is one of
the healthiest places on the Atlantic

cases of catarrh and consumption which

A Gallant Rescue.

Here is a very charming cat and dog
story for the truth and accuracy of
which the proud inhabitants of the
Swiss village where it occurred quite
recently are, mi and all, ready to vouch.
A troublesome cat in the village had
been doomed to a watery death, and the
children of the owner had been told off
to take it in a sack to the river Aar and
there to drown it. The house dog ac-
companied the party to the execution.
which was carried out according to
parental instructions. But, much to the
surprise of the inmates, a short time
after the cat and dog, both soaking wet,
reappeared together at their owners
door.
This is what had happened: The dog.
on seeing that the sack containing the
cat was thrown into the river, jumped
after it, seized it with his teeth, dragged
it to the bank, tore it open and restored
his friend the cat to life and liberty. 1t
goes without saying that the death war
rant of the cat was destroyed after this
marvellous escapade.-London Million.

The Tailor's Friend.

A New York tailor struck up an ac
~quaintance with a local politician, and
they became constant companions. The
politician may be called Jones, and his
nickname is Bud, which stands for Ben
jamin. AS Bud the tailor met him, and
as Bud he has always known him. One
evening the tailor and his friend were
in an up town cafe, chatting and drink
ing, while another man kept a sharp
eye IN them. Finally the two friends
parted, and then the third man hastily
approached the tailor. well, he said,
did you get anything out of him?''
The tailor did not see the point. IBID
you not say anything to him about max
ing a payment" said the other. tWhat
are you talking about?'' answered the
tailor. That's my friend, Bud Jones'"
"That may be, but he's Benjamin Jones,
who owe you $240. I've been trying to
find him for three weeks to collect it.
The dickensl" said the tailor, Il
didn't know that. Guess you'd better
not try to collect that bill just yeti

A woodchopper,s Vision,

A chopper in the Kilkenny woods re-
lates a story that he implicitly believes.
This is his narrative: II was at work
for Van Dyke, at Connecticut Lake.
The night was dark and rainy, and the
wind howled and moaned in the tree
tops. l went to bed, as the whole camp
does, at 9 O'Clock that is, the lights
are blown out at that hour, as is the
rule in camp. Directly opposite my
bunk was a small window that one
could see ont. I could not sleep and
kept rolling and tumbling.
II think / must have got into a sleep,
for I was awakened by a light shining
into the window, and a woman's face
appeared as if looking in. I am sure
it was the ~countenance of my sister, who
died in Quebec two years ago. Strange
to say, l was not scared. The light dis
appeared, and then again it shone in.
This time the woman's hand appeared
at the window, reckoning me to come.
I got up and pulled on my trousers and
went to the door. By this time the wind
had stopped blowing, the rain had ceas-
ed, and the moon shone through the
clouds at times.
Standing near the woodpile was my
sister. l recognized her now. I stepped
toward her, but she motioned me back,
saying, Joe, don't work tomorrow, and
vanished. l saw no more of her that
night. The next day I staid in camp,
and before noon Bill was brought in
dead. A limb had fallen and broken his
skull. He and I worked together. My
sister has come to save life once since.
Boys, this is Gods truth. "-Manches-

q y LITTLE MINcH.


b Trick by Which the Famous Race
Horse Got His Name.
Many stories are toldof Little Minch,
the race horse, which indicate that be
Is a remarkably sagacious animal. Some
would assert that he is capable of rea-
soning, but horse fanciers are liable to
distort instinct and pure ROBUSTNESS
into reason and sagacity. 1t is said that
while this son of Glenelg was being
transported east after his sale as a year
ling he was given a nickname by a rail-
road engineer that was subsequently ap-
piled to the horse, and under it he won
his ~laurels. Little Minch's car was at
tached to the front end Of a passenger
train, and the bellrope passed through
it. the same as it would through a pas
senger car. The horse was playful, and
after several unsuccessful attempts TO
seize the rope in his teeth the spitefuI
little youngster finally got the cord and
gave it a lusty jerk. The hell in the en-
CINE cab sounded, and the engineer, fear
ing something was wrong back in the
train, made haste to shut off steam and
apply his airbrake. After coming to a
stop he waited for the astonished train
men to come up to his cab. They de-
MED that any one had pulled the cord,
and the engineer passed the occurrence
with the remark, Maybe the rope
caught and frightened while we were
going around a curve"
But the mischief loving Little Minch
was having a lot of fun in the car. No
sooner had the train got under Roadway
again than he again seized the bellcord
and gave it another jerk. Once more
the engineer came to a stop, declaring
that the bell ringing was the work Of
tramps, but a search for the ride steal
ers failed to reveal any, and the train
proceeded. With almost human rogu-
cry Little Minch again seized the
rope, but he was not content with one
jerk, and the way he pulled that rope
was a caution. The enraged engineer
slipped back in time to see the horse
Juggling at the rope, which he had bit
ten in two by his efforts, as if his life
depended upon his ability to tear it out
of the train. "Oh, you little minch! So
it was you, was it?" cried the engineer.
And the horse stopped and hung his
head much as a guilty hoy would have
done. The story was retold many times,
and the animal was named Little
Minch.-Chicago Tribune.

Plaster Casts.

My advice to those who contemplate
having a plaster cast taken of their
heads and faces is don't. Two friends
of mine, amateur sculptors, persuaded
me to let them take a cast of my face,
SO as to reproduce and immortalize my
features. I had no idea what the proc
ess was, and though 1 objected to it On
general grounds did not imagine that
any torture was connected with it.
Judge of my horror, then, when /
found that my n~ostrils had to be stuffed
with cotton wool and that a nasty, sticky
substance was pressed tightly all over
my face SO as to secure an impression
Of my features. Nothing SO utterly I'M
comfortable could be imagined, and the
desire to scratch portions of the face
specially irritating was almost irresist-
ible. But the greatest agony was to
ome The young men had forgotten
in their hurry some precautions which
it Is usual to take in order to make it
easy to break the cast in the center and
take it off in two pieces.
Hence it failed to respond to their
efforts to make it split, and l had to
wait until they could break it off in
sections. The heat in the interval was
oppressive in the extreme, and as they
pulled off large pieces of flesh and
enough hair to make a small wig my
sufferings a easily be imagined. If
I ever obtain fame, which I do not an
ticipate, my features will have to be
immortalized in some way other than
by means of a bust. st. Louis Globe

Big Potatoes.

A French scientists plans for secur-

follows: He stepped his cuttings for %
hours in a solution Of 6 pounds of salt
peter, 8 pounds of sulphate of ammonia
and 80 gallons of water. He next al
lowed them to drain a whole day in or
der that the eye buds might swell be-

treated in this manner and planted in
the usual way he obtained a yield of AZ
tons of potatoes to the acre.-St. Louis

Tit For Tat.

The parson was complimenting the
tailor on some mending which he had
done for him. In the course of the o
versation he, however, incautiously OBJ
served: When I want a good coat, Z go

Before leaving the shop he inquired, by
the way, do you attend my church,
NO. replied the tailor. When /
want to hear q good sermon, I go up to
