Ways OF a Captive Wildcat.

Everybody has heard of Mic Arend's
wildcat. The eat was given Mic some
months ago, and ever since has been
living on tie fat Of the land. The
cook, a colored woman, at Mics place
feeds the cat, which has manifested q
great fondness for her. When she ap-
proaches the cage he purrs in the most
pleasant manner, but if anybody else
comes about him he Immediately
growis and shows his wicked locking
fangs. The cat is perfectly satisfied
with his horae. Two or three times
his cage door has been accidentally
left open, but he never even walked
outside to see what the rest of the
world looked like. However, whenever
it occurred that the cage door was LETT
open, Mic always missed chicken.
The other day ne saw the cat catch
one. He simply crouched down by
the door and waited until the chicken,
oblivious of danger, came along, and
then he shot out his paw and had the
chicken by che head. After be catches
and kills the fowl he picks all the
feathers off it almost as carefully as a
cook, and uses his:mouth in the opera
ton while holding the bird between
his psws.-Florida Times-Union.

GOT into the street he perceived Ee-

an acquaintance, and who had fine
new umbrella hoisted over his head.
Running up to him, therefore, he
clapped him on the shoulder, saying
as he did so by way Of joke! "pu
take that umbrella, If you please" !"
The Individual thus addressed looked
round and disclosed a perfect
stranger, but before the other could
apologize, he said hurriedly: Oh, its
yours, is it? Well, didn't know
that. Here, you can have it," and
broke away, leaving the article in the

strictly true, affords valuable hint

Plenty Of Food in Sight.

According to Mr.. Urquhart's figures
he 4, ,000,0 900 tons of cotton seed pro-
duced by this country annually, after
yielding an unlimited supply OF oil,
would yield 100000 tons Of meal.
No attempt to utilize this -four as food
FOR the human race has yet been made
except experimentally. At well
known public institution in Brooklyn
the newsboys were fed for several
months free of charge on johnny cake,
bread and cookies made of cottonseed
aour. 1t ranks in nutriment next to
wheat -four, but it never has been
used for food because it has not been
oeeded. There is such an abundance
Of wheat and corn that the waste cot
tonseed cake is sold to feed cattle and
chickens. Cottonseed -four can be
produced at less than half the present
cost of wheat -four, and it is calculated
that the country is producing sufficient
cottonseed cake to fill, if ground, l5,'
900, 900 barrels. Our wheat crop this
year apprenticeship, 900, 900 bushels,
and figuring four and q half bushels
IS equivalent to barrel of -four this
would yield about s3,300,0 900 barrels.
Ii we run short Of wheat We need not
go hungry, for we can still fall back
On our cotton fields. Wonderful is
the cotton plant that gives us clothing,
oil and food for man and beast. t.-NeW

An Interesting Use OF PnoTagrapny

A French photographer lately invented
a process by which bit of ordinary
paper-the leaf of a book, for example
--can be made sensitive to light without
affecting the rest of the page. Acting
on this hint the French War Minister has
begun to take the portraits of conscripts
and recruits on the paper, which gives
their height, complexion, age, etc., aud
the cheapness and swiftness of the op-
Grafton, which is already in use in the
French army, IS something remarkable.
1t costs only one cent to get two copies
of a portrait OF JacquesBonbomme-oue
for his individual register aud the otnei
for his muster roll; and so rapid IS the
process that in few hours whole regi-
meut can be so photographed. The
soldiers file along, one by one, and each
sits for three seconds IN the Photographic
chair and the thing is done.

number on his breast with chalk, aud

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The project of the Nicaragua Canal
has been debated in the U. S. Senate
very vigorously. One thing should be
remembered about that climate, it is
death to almost every foreigner who
goes there, and laborers especially sue
cumb. It is said that the Panama Rail
road cost life for every tie. What an
idea of pains and aches is in this SEN
tence. 1t is mostly due to carelessness.
Every laborer provided with St. Jacobs
Oil would be armed against these
troubles. Mems muscles there are
cramped with rheumatic pain and they
ache all over. That's just the condi-
ton where this sovereign remedy can
do its best work. The fearful malady
is very much like the break-bone fever
