A BEREAVED CAT ADOPTS A PUP.

Rears 1t From Blind Infancy and
Tries to Teach 1t Kitten Trick.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weggie, who live on
Wells street, near Chestnut, have a
double curiosity in a cat that has
reared a puppy and a puppy that was
willing to accept such a foster parent.
Old Mouser's litter Of kittens was
taken away from her soon after birth
and sent by the water route to where
there may be cats but certainly NJ
wooden fences. About the same day
the mother of the puppy died a VIC
lent death under one of Mr.. Yerkes'
cable trains and puppy was the only
n of his family to survive the shock,
or rather to accept artificial nourish-
ment. Mr.. Weggie suggested trying
1t On the dog" and on the bereaved cat
at the same time. He introduced
Puppy to Mouser and the plan worked
well from the start. The Juvenile
canine made himself at home at once
and the staid old tabby seemed
pleased to have something on which
to lavish her affections. AS time
passed on the Weggies realized that
they were to be repaid for all their
solicitude in behalf of their dumb
friends. The old cat has tried in vain
to persuade her foster son to play
with and finally devour mice, and the
pup has furnished much amusement
in a seeming attempt to %onverse with
his benefactor in banks. Just now the
cat is puzzled to know why her 9TH
erwise Obedient ward cannot spring
nimbly into chairs and shows no
prediction for walking along the
tops of fences and area ratings.
Though the puppy has grown large
enough to care for himself, his move
ments are still closely watched by his
vigilant protector.

In an old black letter translation of

POISON in LIQUORS.
DEADLY COMPOUNDS IN FRENCH
WINES AND LIQUORS.
Startling Results Obtained From
Experiments on Guinea Pigs That
Probably Account for the Low
Birth Rate fn France.

Whether pure alcoholic beverages in
limited quantities exert a baneful or
beneficial effect upon the human sys-
ten has long been a matter of dispute
among learned physicians. Much light
has been thrown upon this point by
some experiments recently made by
DR.. LabOrde" of Paris.
The slow but steady diminution of
the birth rate In France is attributed
in a great degree to the enormout con
sumption of wines and to those insid-
ious liquors which also form so i'm
portant a portion of that country's
exports.
""There is every indication that in
temperance Is increasing and will in
time destroy u.s." said DR.. Bergeron,
Of the French Academy of Medicine,
in 1869. "The diminishing birth rate,

work and had to give it up. The disease

We were forcibly struck with the
earnestness Of Mr.. Baker and his state
ments may be relied on.

condensed form all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the

They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu-

Mummy Two Thousand Years Old.

Mummy Two Thousand Years Old.
A Baltimore clergyman has just
brought two mummies from Egypt
which are to be given to the Woman's
college of that city. They are about
1000 years old, and are thought to be
the bodies of p%rincesses. 1t is strange,
by the way, how inconsistent people
are in their way of looking at things.
If some n were to bride the curator
Of a modern cemetery to let him have
two dead bodies, and were then to
place those bodies in a public museum,
there would be a howl all owe the
country, and the perpetrator of the
deed would be called a ghoul. But as
these %princesses lived a long time ago,
in a distant land, and were only heath
ems, anyway, no one objects to their
being taken from their resting place.
Besides, how could we study archae-
ology if we didn't rifle the graves of

"How can l see the pope?' is one of
the first questions asked by many Wis
itors for the first time in Rome. On
the seventh day of February is the
anniversary of the death of the late
pope, when a requiem mass is cele-
brated by Leo MIL, or by a cardinal
officiating for him in the Sistine
chapel and is the greatest function of
the year at the Vatican, the pope al
ways celebrating the mass. To be
present is a great treat, the pope being
carried in his chair on a platform sur
rounded by his Swiss guard. cardinals,
bishops II others, wearing his tiara
and blessing the people as he passes
through the crowd. The bestowal of
hats on the cardinals recently created,
and the ceremony of the Identification
of new saints, these are the few func-
tions at which those who have been
able to obtain tickets have the Drivi-
lege of seeing the holy father. In at
tending any of these functions, ladies
must be in black, with wells on their
heads, no gloves; gentlemen in full
dress suits, no outer garments or hats
allowed in the chapel. Those persons
who have influence with a cardinal
can sometimes obtain the privilege of
being present at the private chapel,
which holds about fifty persons, on a
Sunday morning when the pope cele.
brates the mass. After the mass a
few receive the holy communion from

IMPROVED WOOD PAVEMENT.
1t Is Filled in with Asphalt and
Wears Exceedingly Well.

With all the advantages possessed
by wood and asphalt as materials for
road paving, it is believed that in GER
tain states of the weather they be-
come extremely slippery and are a
fruitful source of accident, but Lewis
Clement has invented a nOn-slipping
wood paving of a simple and inexpen-
sive character, which is claimed to
remedy this defect. 1t consists in pre-
pairing the wood blocks before they
are laid by boring a few holes in them
and filling the holes with a hard-set-
ting substance, composed of crushed
stone, bitumen and Portland cement.
The compound is cleared off level with
the surface of the blocks, and when
they are laid the roadway is covered
with a series of rough spots which, it
is stated. arrest the foot of the horse
in any condition of the weather and
