floor, would form heap high enough

Though the Welsh had high
opin on of the cat, the ancient Egyp-
tians had a still higher. These ntel-
ligent and civilized people treated
cats with great distinction. It was<a
crime to kill one, and when they died
they received public burial,~as
which the people mourned, having
first shaved oil their eyebrows as a
token of sorrow. The most promt-

A Marvellous Medical Discovery.
While it has long been known that

arrive at 4 milestone where the way
Is besieged with all sorts Of Serpents
and fiery dragons, medicine and
science are now able to demonstrate
snakes live and move in ones being.
An important discovery in this direc-
tion only few months old'in Europe
and Just announced in this country
was told a representative Of the
Washington Post the other day by
DR.. c. w. Stiles Of the bureau Of ami
NAL industry at the Department OF
Agriculture. It is a small white
snake that lives in the veins secur-
ing entrance into the body through
the medium Of drinking water. 1t
wriggles about and chases up and
down the avenues Of the blood at its
pleasure. These little reptiles have
strange domestic habits The male
is about four-flfths OF an inch in
length and curves himself into the
form CT half cirle- On the inside
of the curve be forms little canal

than cotton thread, nor longer tAan

not a comfortable thought to know
that you may have few pairs Of
these animals tucked away inside
your jacket. The medical men have
another name for the disease which
results from their devastations, but
it would be popularly called "poor

"a wheel that sells now must be
very light, the brake and all super
fuous appliances that weigh drachm

geared, with high seat and low

Gle Of today. Such a wheel is un-
safe to coast upon, so much so that
coasting is out of fashion. To ride
one Of these bicycles one must get a
big hump on his back and assume a
very uncomfortab position. have

Heroic Work by a Servant Girl.

The heroism of servant girl saved
q span Of valuable horses for John
Moser, Of Perkiomenville. The large

burned on the hsnde and face, though
not seriously. She was greatly cheered

This Goat Could Count.

In the days past before the begin
ming of the land speculation in the
building of this city Charles B. Sc
vier was the fortunate possessor of
as fine a specimen of the Angora
goat as could be asked. In fact. it's
pedigree was longer than that of
blue grass racer. When Mr.. Sewer
was a younger man, he obtained this
valuable goat, which he trained in
many ways. Then each year the
fine wool the goat produced yielded
a revenue that was the foundation of
his fortune. Mr.. Sewer made the
goat regular mathematical table,
and so trained was the goat that he
would send him into the orchard to
procure a dozen sweet timber twigs,
and the goat would butt the tree
until just II nice ripe apples would
fall. Then the goat would pick up
the apples and put them into bas-
ket and bring them to the house.
He could send the goat for one or a
hundred apples.
So it was in everything. The goat
would be sent to feed the horses and
told to let them eat just ten stalks
OF green corn in tho field. The goat
would perform the service and butt
the horse away from the eleventh
hill. If the goat was in a muddy
field and started to go to another,
he would climb to the top of the
fence and wipe the mud off his feet.
In this way he did not abstract the
soil from either Ben Margrave's or
from Parker farm on to Charles Sc
vier's farm.
In time the goat became so valua.
bio that Mr.. Sewer used to sit on
his porch and direct the goat to keep
the wheels turning. At last the
goat could not digest an empty whis
ky bottle, and it died. So after this
sad occurrence Mr.. Sewer sold his
farm to the East Tennessee Land
company and moved to Hartman,
where he now resides. He still in
