STANLEY AND THE CAT.

According to writer in the Ladies'
Kennel Journal, there is a cat story
connected with the name of Mr.. Stan
ley. When the African traveller was
writing his 'Through the Dark Cont
nent," in saokyille street, he used
often, from want of fat surface, to
spread his maps and charts upon the
floor; and one day the cat Of the
house, which had taken On extraordis

Island DIsuppears in tho Might.

An island in the Missouri river,
broken into fragments and washed
away, was the unusual spectacle Atchi-
son, Kas, people witnessed the other
morning. For yeas an island OF GOO
or 700 acres has been one Of the at
fractions Of Atchison. It was as fer
tile as a garden, and was known all
over the west for the excellence OF the
celery, asparagus, sweet potatoes and
melons il produced. II had the APP
pearanoe of a veritable oasis in the de-
sert, and it's green shubbery, generous
shade trees, velvet lawns and cool
springs were a perpetual Joy. Upon
this island a shooting club had home
and the baseball enthusiasts had their
grounds and grand stand. Altogether
1t was a most pleasant resort.
In a single night this island was dis
solved into fragments. The recent rise
IN the Missouri river struck it, and to-
day it is only a Renaissance. What
was Kansas loss, however, was Mis-
souri's gain. With the obliteration Of
the island the current left the Mis-
souri, shore and struck hard against
the Kansas bluffs. The result Of this
is that the Missouri banner has been
planted a mile westward, and hundreds
of acres of rich bottom land have beer
added to its domain, while Kansas
mourns the loss of its green island anC

TIE UTILIZING OF sPA1x.

The little King Of Spain, Alfonso
XIII, has just instituted the first Ar
Dor Day in his kingdom. Like the
forests Of our own country, those Of
Spain are being rapidly used up, and
the necessity for making mp the loss
Of trees was seen. Recently the
young King went a few miles out Of
Madrid and planted q tree, and after
ward 2, 600 saplings we're planted by
as many school children of the Span.
ish capital Medals we're distributed
among them bearing the inscription;
First Arbor Day Instituted in
the Reign Of Alfonso Kill, 1896. "
These tree-planting festivals are TO be
held yearly in different places. The
mother of the boy King. the Queen
Regent, Marin Christina, is a very
progressive and intelligent woman,
and uses her influence and authority
on the side Of every good thing for
SPANS prosperity that she can. She
never forgets that, though her son is
only a little boy, he is also a future
King, and she tries to make him feel
the responsibility which that position
brings to him. Since Alfonso passed
his tenth birthday last May, he has
had a separate establishment, though
he still lives under the same roof with
his mother and sisters. New York

THE OLD uoRsE's MEMORY.

The introduction Of trolley cars oil
over the country has turned thous-
ands Of street-car horses into other
service. That these animals do not
forget their long employment drawing
cars is often shown. Only the other
day in Portland, Me-, former street.
car horse stood at the curb when a
trolley came along and stopped very
near him. The horse was blind in
both eyes and could not see the car,
but in a minute he heard the familiar
double ring which for years had meant
go ahead to him. In an instant he re-
sponded to the call and started blindly
forward with 80 much zeal that he
could not be stopped until he had put
his neck and shoulders through a
plate glass window across the street.

A BEAR WHO PHOTOGRAPHED HIMSELF.
The desire to obtain photographs
of wild animals in natural and char
acteristic attitudes has suggested to IN
amateur photographer, Mr.. George
Shiras, ON apparatus which he has
made use of during q trip to the west,
1t is described by the Chicago Inter-
Ocean;
The device is very simple, but in
genious. A camera is so prepared
that the pulling of string operates
the shutter which exposes the plate,
and at the same time strikes q match
which sets off magnesium fashlight
cartridge. Behind this light is placed
a mirror which throws the full glare
of the fash upon a certain spot in
front of the camera.
In the woods are paths that are fol-
lowed by bear, elk and deer going to
the water courses to drink before day
break, and again in the evening. BY
one of these paths Mr.. Shirns set up
his camera, and stretched across the
path string connected with the
spriag-shutter discharge. Then he
left it for the night.
It was not long before bear, pass
ing that way, stumbled over the string,
and upon the instant was nstonished
to find himself apparently in the cen
tire of fash of lightning. And the
next morning, when the amateur pho
tographer came to his camera, with
quite as much interest as ? trapper
could visit his traps, he was delighted
to find that it had been sprung, and
afterward to find a good image of a
bear on the plate.
