MUFFIN"

"Hcre they come, Muffin. Let's go

AS Davy Blake spoke, Il large, hand
some cat, whose brindlcd sides fairly
shonc in the August sun came out
from behind a heap Of dusty books
which had been thrown ON the floor
some days previous and was picked up
by the boy.
Muffin was an armful, as Davy had
said on more than one occasion, and
when the two reached the light and
had STEPPED outside the little Long
Island home, the cat mounted to the
boys shoulders and purred in the most
affectionate manner
1t was just after the battle Of Long
Island, in 177G--a battle fatal to the
little army commanded at the time by
Washington in person, and the victors,
led by Lord Howe, had taken posses
sion of the island and were marching
upon Newton, where the general *

GERRYMANDERs IN GREAT BRIT
AIN.

Guido Anything to he Found In
This Country.
'They order this matter better"-or
worse-in Great Britain and ireland;
the matter under consideration being
the gentle art of gerrymandering. We
have had some pretty bad examples
of it here, of late, but at u worst,
we must, according to figures given by
the New York Tribune, yield the palm
of badness to our kin beyond the sea-"
The present apportionmcnt Of members
of the house Of commons was made
by what was called a reform bill.
Either that nomenclature was a Ia
terpiece of irony or else the former
apportionmcnt was bad beyond all
reckoning. for it really is difficult to
Imagine anything more ineqnitable than
the present system. The boroughs of
Dcnbigh. Flint and Montgomery, for
example. each elect n member and
the total number of voters in all three
is only 1O,401; while Huddersfeld,
with 1850 voters, elects only one.
Again. Merthyr, with 1852 voters,
and Derby, with 1921, each elect two,
while Cardiff. with 1883, elects only
one. 1pswich's 0.4l4 voters and Daven-
PORTS 1875 elect two members for
each place, while Dudlcy's 1886 and
Wandsworth's 1862 elects only one
for each. There are not less than 81
English boroughs with fewer than 5000
electors each. One Of them is now
represented by a Liberal nionist, six
by Radicals and fourteen by Conserve
tives. All parties, therefore, profit by
this unequal distribution of members,
and if the Conservatives have now
on the whole, the advantage their ten
ure of it will probably not be long.
The new registration bill seems design
ed to swing the pendulum far to the
other side and to give to the Radicals
undue representation. Thus five Irish
constituencies, with an aggregate poll
of only 1900, will send to Westmins-
ter one representative each, while Rom
ford, with more than $4,000, will send
only one; in the one case, one to $500;
III the other, one to 10000.

A Danville girl tells the Advocate the
following with regard to waltzing: mo
one waltz, even when danced with
the same partner, is exactly the same.
1t is always a new sensation. The mu-
sic is not in the same key, and the
waltz does not touch the same chords
Of ones soul. If l dance twenty
waltzes in the evening I have twenty
different thrills of pleasure. With one
partner it is soft, insidious movement;
with the next, a long and %languorous
movement; with the third, more of q
hop, that gently jars the brain into a
delicious dreamy, forgetfulness; while
the fourth cavalier, with a heroic tread,
bears you away with strong and vigor-
GUS rhythm into still another world.
The lights Of this go out, you lose con-
seriousness, but you feel no dread as you
lie within those herculean arms like
a child rocked to sleep in his fathers
embrace. Your feet are no longer on
the earth. It's a celestial rotation out
into space, and when you light on earth
again you feel like a tired bird stopping
from a long flight"

point Of view.
AS the British had complete posses

care, and the boys managed to slip be-
tween the pickets and appeared on the
parade ground, where but a few days
previous Davy, and Muffin on his shoul-
ders, had witnessed q drill by the
American troops. But the scene had
changed now, and instead of the rag
ged regimentals' Of Washington's army,
the camp was filled with handsome
scarlet uniforms.
Davy had already learned that the
colonel whose dog had suffered so Sc
verely in the royal battle with Muffin
was Donop, one of the bravest officers
in the kings service, and he had no
trouble in finding his headquarters.
The boys were seen as they came
down the camp street toward Donop's
house, and some of the boys called out
that there was the boy who owned the
''rebel cat"
Nothing daunted by their reception.
Davy Blake walked up to the stately

Found a Strong Cigar at Inst.
A tobacco manufacturer who o W
in a select coterie Of tobacco-loving
friends was recently told by one Of
those connoisseurs that he had yet to
find a cigar that was too strong for him
to enjoy. Acting on the suggestion, the
manufacturer took occasion to have a
cigar especially constructed Of stems
and neatly covered with a rich, appe-
tizing Havana leaf, rolled into points at
both ends. This he presented to his
friend with the wish that it might
prove strong enough to suit his taste.
Suspecting nothing, the friend proceed
ed to smoke, and was soon surprised
to see Goals of red-hot nails excluding
from the end of the cigar. AS the skin
peeled off his tongue his brain began
to reel, and he soon gave up in an old
fashioned attack OF nausea. He no
longer boasts Of his capacity before
people who AFT, in the business.-Phila-
