What the Telegram Contained.

Despite the familiarity that breeds
composure, if not "despisement," in our
daily relations with the telegraph,
hardly any one is proof against the ex-
element created by the arrival at I'm.
wonted hours of one of those messen-
gers of fate that bear their utterances
into our homes. A lady, whom we win
call Mrs. Jones, the mother Of school
boy named Percy, then at home for the
holidays, was recently aroused fro
deep sleep by violent ringing at hcf
front door bell in the dark hours just
before daylight. AS none of the servants
heard of paid attention to the appeal.

who, spelling out her name on his enve
lope by the dim light of the street, de
manded to know if this was the right
house. "It is from my husband, OF
course she said to herself, smitteE
with terror at the thought of what
might have happened to her absent
lord. With palpitating heart and chat
tering teeth she put on a wrapper and
slippers and ran down the steps, while
depicting inwardly every misfortune a
lively Imagination could conjure up;
then, partly Opening the door, she
stretched out an agitated hand for the

The Market Place.

There is no doubt that the protection
which used to be accorded to the mar
ket place from the earliest barbarian
times has played an important, though
not all exclusive, part in the emancipa-
ton of the medieval city. The early
barbarianS knew no trade within their
village communities; they traded with
strangers only, at certain definite spots
on certain determined days. And, i'll
order that the stranger might come to
the barter place without risk of being
slain for some feud which might-be run
ming between two kins, the market was
always placed under the special pro-
lection of all kins. 1t was inviolable,
like the place Of worship under the
shadow of which it was held.
With the Kabyles it is still annaya,
like the footpath along which women
carry water from the well; neither must
be trodden upon in arms, even during
inter- tribal wars. In medieval times
the market universally enjoyed the
same protection. No feud could be
prosecuted ON the place whereto people
came to trade, nor Within certain "a
dius from it; and, if quarrel arose
in the motley crowd of buyers and sell
ers, it had to be brought before those
under whose protection the market
stood-the community's tribunal, or the
bishops, the lords, or the Kings judge
A stranger who came to trade was 4
guest, and he went on under this very
name. Even the lord who had no scrn-
pies about rObbing a merchant on the
high road respected the Weichbild, that
is, the pole which stood in the market
place and bore either the Kings arms
or a glove, or the image Of the local
SAINT or simply cross, according to
whether the market was under the pro-
lection of the King, the lord, the local
church, or the folkmote-the vyeche.-

How a Cat Turns Over.

The French Academy Of Sciences, 4
very learned body, has lately had under
examination and discussion question
of decided interest. This question is:
why does q cat always fall OH its
feet?' The old answer. "In order that
it shall not break its back" does not
serve in this Investigation. The Acad-
envy must know not only the real raa-
son, but the precise method by which a
cat, when dropped feet upward, man
ages to turn over instantly in the air,
with no object to brace itself against
in order to procure the muscular reac-
ton which seems to be necessary for the
revolution.
To assist its study, the Academy had
one of it's members prepare a series of
instantaneous photographs, showing a
cat in various stages Of fall from a
considerable height. These photo
graphs were obtained under the person
al inspection of members of the Acad-
envy, and several successive ''drops''
which the unfortunate cats must have
been totally unable to account for, We're
necessary.
The photographs, it may be mention
ed, failed to establish anything, except
that the cat actually turned over in the
air. AS to how she did it they afford no
clue. And as it was already known
that she did it, the camera may be said
to have contributed nothing toward the
solution of the problem.
The society next set itself about set.
Ting the matter by discussion. Several
members presented their theories and
compared notes. The laws Of mechan-
les and geometry were applied to the
known movements of the cat. with no
other effect than to prove that cat
cannot possibly turn over in the air
which, however, it is we'll established
that she does.
One academician maintained that the
animal is able to displace it's internal
organs in such q way as to affect it's
center Of gravity while in the air, caus-
ing it to turn by a new center of weight
to one side, and then, by another dis
placement, so to throw the weight that
it's back comes uppermost.
proved theory. Another man insisted
that, at the very instant when the cat
is dropped, say from the hands OF the
man who holds her, feet uppermost,
she is able to make an. impulsive move
ment, using the operators hands to
push against, as it We're At all events
the cat begins to turn instantly upon
being let go.
However, it has against it the fact
that the cat turns successfully when
there are no hands or other objects 10
push against-when, for instance, she
is firmly held, back downward by
threads. which are cut st the right mo-
ment, allowing her to drop suddenly.

Primitive Illuminations.

From the moment when people ceased
to observe the regular bedtime of ami
mated nature and began to sit up at
nights, there began new era in hui
man affairs. We don't know much
about that Palpeolithic man who hunt
ed bears and rhinoceros and such small
deer about our primeval forests; GER
tainly not enough to say whether he
used lamps or candles, or rerforce
contented himself with the rudy glow
Of the fire, around which he would sit
with his family, toasting mammoth
marrow or grilling hyena steaks or
other toothsome morsels.
Perhaps our primitive nan was too
fond of fat as an article of diet to care
to waste it in experiments, else he
might easily have invented the rush
light, so simple and primitive is it, and
still made and used in primitive house
holds such as you find now and then
among the Welsh hills.
A bundle of dried rushes dipped sew
eral times in melted mutton fat, there
ture torch is the result, which the most
boisterous winds can hardly extin-
guish. Now, something Of this kind our
primitive man may have known how
to make. If he had not arrived at
his muttons, the fat Of the cave bear
or the bison might have served his
turn.-All the Year Round.

The RetOrc Courteous.

The heavy swell had inadvertently
met the man not in his set the night be-
fore. and after the manner of an apos-
tie of swelldom, he had not been at any
pains to cultivate the acquaintance. lie
fact, he had really been rude. A night
or two after the two men met again and
were introduced. This time the swell
tried bluff.
Il believe we have met before" said
the common man.
"Ah?" responded the swell.
''Yes; don't you remember, at the
club?'
Really
The common man began to get hot.

"Ah-I think not"
''Weil really" said the common man.
