Forms of business expression have
become.so stereotyped that e departure
from the ordinary always creates sur
prise. For this reason the Pittsburgh
Dispatch makes note of an original re-
ceipt given to a resident of that citv in
the course of transaction in horses
The citizen had heard of team that
he thought would suit him at q point
many miles away from the railroad.
He managed TO find the place. and dis
covered that the owner of the horses
was woman-one who had made a
success OF farming, and evidently had
exalted ideas regarding the fair sex's
adapta bility for managing business.
After agreat deal of bargaining. in
which the woman endeavored to show
off shat superior skill which had made
her successful. while other farmers OF
the stc-ner sex had failed all abou,
her. the price was agreed upon. "WeIl.
I'll give you my check for the amount. "

take the horses" The gentleman told
her shat he did not have that amount
of money with him, bat would send ii
out II her the following day. This
next day he dispatched his coachmar
for the horses with the money and
told him to bring a receipt. The coach.
man brought the horses and piece OF
paper back On the slip of paper was
written: You got the horses; l got

THE CONTRADICTORY CAT.
curious characteristics Attributed to the
Feline.

suIiouS NhaHSCtcIAotfSS hsS1hOotSu ~ sseO
Feline.
There are contradictory elements in
me character of the cat. No animal is
more independent, says the London
Saturday Review, and, If we may
speak freely concerning cats" like
Montaigne, no animal is more capri
.ious in its choice of home than a cat.
Yet none is more remarkable for its
power of finding its way back from
yreat distances than a cat is If it
pleases so to do. As Mr.. Romenes says,
The psychology of the cat unsubdued
by civilization fits it for a Robinson
Crusoe-like existence in the woods.
A dog lost in a wood howls all night
and disturbs a whole county. A cat,
Instead of using her ''homing in
stinct." makes herself at home with
rabbits, pheasants and small birds.
Again. the cat in towns sometimes de-
serts his home in dudgeon at some per-
haps imagined insult. and abandons
himself to life conducted entirely on
lpolaustic principles. Everyone knows
that perfectly comfortable, well-fed
Eat will occasionally come to his house
md settle there, deserting family by
whom it is lamented, and to whom if
1t chose it could find its way back
with ease.
This conduct is a mystery which may
cad US to infer that cats form a great
secret society, and that he who was
king of Cats" was really grand mas
ter, an Aramis of eats. Doubtless they
come and go in pursuance of some Sc
.ret policy connected with the educa-
lion of cats, or perhaps with witch
:raft Otherwise, why should crea-
:ure which does not know the manacles
Of space leave one home for strange
residence?
We have known a cat to desert a
house for years: once in six months he
would return and look about him with
IN air of some contempt. "Such," he
seemed to say, "were my humble be-
ginnings." He went on no offense
given, and in about three years he
came back for good, his mission else
where having probably been accom-
olished

Nujeff, in addition to the regular

"Reminiscences Of the Mutiny there
was q large body of archers on the
walls, armed with bows and arrows,
which they discharged with great
force and precision, and on White rails

was shot right into his feather bonnet

however, he had placed his forage cap,

through. the arrow stuck in the folds
IF the forage cap, and ''Dan," as he
was called, coolly pulled out the
arrow, paraphrasing quotation from

Ranald MacEagh made their escape
