A TRUE CAT STORY

A Wakefield family who reside in
Magnolia during the summer. when
they removed to Magnolia last June,
took with them their pet cat. but
pussie did not like the roar and dash
of old ocean, but sighed for her home
by the placid waters of 'Lake Guam
napowitt." She disappeared, and
was not seen again all summer. The
family returned to their Wakefield
home about the middle of September.
They had been at home about two
weeks, when one morning the daugh-
ter of the house was in the basement
and heard a cat new, and 10, at the
window was her darling pet cat that
she had long mourned as dead! It
could not be; where did she come
from? 1t must be a strange cat closely
resembling peanuts" $50 called be-
cause of her fondness for the article).
"Well," said the mother, "there is
one sure test. 'DOn,' the house dog,
will know his old playmate" Don was
called and the recognition was mutu
al; they both seemed delighted to
meet again. It was evident the cat
had travelled all the way from Mag
nolia to Wakefield, through the woods
of Magnolia, Manchester, Beverly,
over Beverly Bridge, Salem streets,
Peabody, Lynnfeld, found Wakefield
how did he know it to be Wakefield?
and hid up at her old home near the
lake. I never saw creature so de-
lighted to find her young mistress and
the other members of the family.
What guided her over SO many miles?
Was it animal instinct?

The familiar dancing beans'' which
have been displayed of late in the
shop windows have become a very
popular novelty, and great quantities
of them have been sold throughout
the country at ridiculously high pric-
es. The bean is seed of the Sebastiana
palmeri, shrub which grows album
dainty in Alamas, Sonora, and other
parts of Mexico. The curious move
ment or "dancing" is caused by the
antic of a larva, the Carpocapsa sail
tanss, which is imprisoned in the hol-
low shell of the bean. The larva re-
sembles closely the common apple
worm of our orchards. The bean has
no particular intrinsic value.

And Holmes said, "Ah,you rid Il see!"
"Capital, capital" cried Peabody.
That night he went back home and
said to his wife, "Holmes got off a
good joke to-day" His wife asked
him what it was. "Why, was to
meet him down at the statue of Fury
dice; and, when I arrived, he said,
quite happily, ooh, you came in car
riage!'' And then DIR. Peabody won
dered why his wife didn't laugh.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S SIM
PLTCITY.

James G.. Blaine used to tell good
story illustrative Of the quaint man
ner of President Lincoln, and showing
the strong contrast between senatori-
al dignity and presidential simplicity.
At the beginning of a session of con-
gress Mr.. Blaine had been appointed,
by the speaker of the House of repre-
sentatives, a member Of the joint com
mi6tee to wait upon the president and
inform him that the congress had duly
assembled. Senator Foote Of Vermont,
one Of the most dignified Of men, was
chairman of the committee
On being ushered into the presence
of the president, Mr.. Fo ot involunta-
rily struck an attitude, and proceeded
to say in his stateiiest manner
"Mr. President, we have been ap-
pointed a committee on the part Of
the two houses of congress to apprise
you that they have met and organic
ed, and are ready to receive any com
munication which it may be your
pleasure to make to them"
AS he concluded, Mr.. Lincoln step
ped up to him, and, taking him famil-
iarly by one button Of his coat, said: -
"Now, look here, Foote, if it is a
matter OF life and death with you, L
can send my message in to-day; but,
if it isn't I should like to keep it till
to morrow, to slick it up little.''

An investigation Of a table of the
comparative wealth per capita Of ma
tions will show where Great Britain
gets all the money she invests in the
United States and elsewhere. 1t shows
in plain figures that England is the
creditor nation of the world, altho'
she has a great national debt. This
also shows why Englishmen of the
present generation are almost unani-
nous in insisting on the single gold
standard.
Excluding Alaska, the amount Of

some people are trying to blot out of
existence, yet Nevada is the richest
state in the Union per capita, the av-
erage wealth to each individual being
SO, 941. The whole extreme western
division of our country is very rich,
the average to each person being
So, $50. The poorest state in the Union
is South Carolina, with an average of
only $34S.
Great Britain, including even Ire
land, averages of wealth to each in
dividual 81, 1877. If few more of our
millionaires move over there and take
their money with them, the average
will be Increased. The poorest coun-
ira in Europe is Russia, with only
