but for the first time on record grief
followed the move. Pierre and Jeanne
We're taking their usual morning game
in the sunshine of the little shop door,
wh@n a bic brindle stranger appeared
on the banquette without. Straight as
a die Jeanne was in her cage and Pierre
had gone in hot pursuit of the brindle.
The chase was a hard one, and Mann
zelle says Pierre must have been gone
long time, but she was busy serving
customers, and by and by noticed
Jeanne hopping about the counter.
Thinking, of course, that Pierre had
retuS ned. she took no further notice
of the bird. A little later, however,
hearing a dreadful connection on the
banQuette she ran out to witness the
sad little tragedy which /, too, arrived
Just in time to see, but too late to pre-
vent. Taking advantage of Pierre's
protracted absence an ugly-tortoise
shell from the next block strolled to
the little shop in search of Jeanne.
Finding her out hopping about unpro-
tected, he began siege at once, no
doubt. Mam'zelle and | arrived just in
time to see the tortoise-shell pounce
on poor Jeanne as she sat perched on
top of the swinging cage and bear her
with him to the pavement. Before
either of US could interpose the deed
was done, and then in moment there
came Pierre rushing round the cor
ner, and as quick as a fash he had
taken in the situation. With one fierce
bound he sprang upon the tortoise
shell and swept poor Jeanne from his
clutches. For a brief moment he sat
guarding her, but that moment was
long enough to tell him he was too
late.
Then letting Mam'zelle take the little
corpse from under his paw, he swooped
down upon the tortoise-shell. 1t was
only for a little while, and when the
battle was over both cats lay dead on
the pavement. Pierre had laid down
his life to avenge Jeanne's death, and
the little Mam'zelle mourns both her
pets.-New Orleans Cor. Philadelphia

THE CAT WAS FAITHFUL.
Laid Down Its Life to Avenge the Death
of a Bird Friend.


Some time ago, in quiet little corner
way down on the Rue Royale, l CHANGED
upon queer little Creole creature,
whom the neighbors called Mann
zelle." If there was ever any name
attached, it must have been in pre-
historic times, for now there is not even
sign upon the door of the little bake
shop where Mam'zelle sells bread and
cakes to the neighborhood. Very good
bread and cakes they are, too, as l can
testify, for recently | have found Mann
zelle's coy shop very comfortable
resting place after a mornings tramp
in quest of news. In this way l have
come to be pretty well acquainted with
Mam'zelle and Pierre, the cat, and
Jeanne, the bird.
Pierre is a handsome black and white
fellow, with noble head, and he and
the little canary, Jeanne, were about
the same age. Mam'zelle told me in
her pretty Creole patois how devoted
the two pets were to each other, and
l myself saw frequent evidences of
their kindly relationship. In a quiet

Pierre and Jeanne taking their break
fast together from the same plate, and
by and by, when the cat would lie doz-
ing in the sunshine, the bird would
hop about him, or cuddle up snug and
comfortable between his outstretched
paws. When Mam'zelle was busy so
that she could not keep an eye on the
little birds safety she would swing the
cage in the doorway, while Pierre would
stretch himself on the floor beneath,
keeping guard over his friend. And
woe betide the stray cat that wandered
that way. Pierre was always on the
alert for squalls, and if a cat came
too near to suit him he would send
Jeanne hustling into her cage while
he chased the offending feline off the
street.

FARM AND GARDEN.
DRAINAGE OE ROADS.
1t Is of the Utmost Importance to the
Preservation of Highways.


Preservation of Highways.
With wet or clayey roadways, surface
drainage alone is not sufficient. With
out undertakings the crown of such
roadways will dry only by slow process
of evaporation, during which time the
topping becomes more and more rutted
by the passing traffic. A subdrain in
such soil will not prove efficient for
more than about IL feet on each side;
hence, two lines of longitudinal SUBJ
drains are needed on those parts of our
country roads that pass through wet
places, low-lying lands or clayey soils.
They should have an average fall of
about one in one hundreds; minimum
fall, one in one thousand. At short in
tervals, say from SO to 100 feet apart, are
placed cross drains to discharge the wa
ter into the side bitches. These cross
drains receive a greater fall, say up TO
one in thirty. Generally two and one
half to three-inch pipes are sufficient.
1t is advantageous TO bed these tiles in
well-drained brick fragments and to
cover them with road metal. Be certain
llldG IliC llltS dIC COIItCllN ltill anu IlldJ
nothing interferes with their free dis
charge. As said before, unglazed round
tiles, about three inches in diameter
and, under certain conditions, jointcd
with loose collars, are most suitable for
subdrains. The bottom of the tiles
should be laid both to the proper grade
and below the frost line, after which the
tile trench is filled up to subgrade with
clean gravel, small field stones, road
metal, or broken bricks. The cross
drains are also made of unglazed tiles,
with the exception of their outlet sec
tions, which should consist of vitrifed
culverU pipes. Regular branch pipes
should connect the longitudinal and
cross tiles. On level reaches the lateral
roadway slopes for surface drainage
should not be less than one in twenty
four, and side bitches should be pro-
vided, if necessary, as previously in
dicated. Finally, a rapid discharge of
the side bitches, if required. through adj
jacent lands, is Of the utmost i'm.

Queer Experience at Sen.

a unique experience, even in the an
mails of the sea, was that of the bark
Alice, which reached Portland, Me-,
after stormy voyage of 10 days from
Turks island, in the Caribbean sea.
The bark carried a cargo of salt, and she
had been out but day when it was
found that tie salt had soaked through
into the water butts and every drop of
fresh water was spoiled. The captain
hoisted signals of distress and made
provisions for condensing water, but
oil he could do was to provide half
"upful day for each man. 1t was
seven days before vessel was sighted
and small supply of water secured.

MAY INVALIDATE THE WILL.
Litigation Likely Over Disposition of
Baron Hirsch's Millions.


Baron Hirsch's Millions.
A flaw has been discovered in the
will of Baron de Hirsch which may
seriously affect the fortune of his
adopted daughter Lucienne, the lille
ultimate child of his only son, Lucien,
who died before him. The baron de-
cided that his will should be probated
according to Austrian law, laying par
ticular stress upon the fact that he
was, above everything else, an Aus
trian citizen. Now, according to the
Austrian code, an adopted child, when
the adoption has been put into legal
form, has identically the same rights
as child of the testator born in we'd
lock. Under these circumstances, Lu
cienne, who is now Is years Of age, has
a right not merely to the $1,000, 600
which the baron bequeathed to her,
but to one-half of his entire fortune,
the remaining half going to his wife.
According to legal experts this law
suffices to invalidate the entire will
and to annul all special requests, leav-
ing the whole fortune of $50, 1000, 900 to
be divided in two equal parts between
the young girl and the widow.

THEY GO TOGETHER.
Better Roads and Wider Tires Are Needed
Everywhere.

Everywhere.
Farmers have more reason TO agitate
for good roads than any other class, not
even excepting bicyclers. Good roads

ing markets; often better markets, be-
cause they could be reached at the
right time; advantages of social life

in time and in the wear and breakage OF
wheeled vehicles, and a general ad.
vance in all that pertains to a higher
state of civilization.
Bicyclers are doing much to pro.
mote good roads. Now is the time for
our farmers to make a positive move
in cooperation with them.
One improvement must go along with
that of better construction and drain.
age of the roads. The wheels of all
vehicles should have wider tires. In
France the width of tire is from three
to ten inches, with the bulk of four
wheelers six inches. In Germany every
wagon for heavy loads must have at
least four-inch tire; Austria requires
a tire of AZ inches wide; SwitZerlad
requires all draft wagons to have d
siX-inch tire. If we were to build good
roads our wagons, as now constructed,
would speedily destroy them. They
are rOad-destroyers as certainly as if
built for the purpose. Go on and build
the roads, and begin at once to reform
the wagon wheels.-Western Rural.
