A Cat Moves Her Family.

The NEWS gang were startled the
other day by strange scratching
noise in the loft over the office. In
vestigation discovered the office cat,
which was Immediately rescued from
her lofty perch. AS soon as she was
liberated she trotted off. The cat is
the proud possessor of four quite
large and heavy kittens. and great
was the establishment of the boys
when she appeared on the scene with
one of them dangling In her mouth.
She jumped onto desk, then onto
the top of it, then crawled along the
narrow top of the paper shelves, un-
til she came below an aperture in the
ceiling. She TODD the altitude of
this very deliberately and then bolt,
ed up through the opening nearly
perpendlcularly, kitten and all. 1t
was a great jump, and 1t Is wonder
she did not strike the little thing a.
gainst the boards. Having laid it up
there, she came down again and hur.
ried off for another and did not stop
until she had fetched all four. Al
the studding jOists are twelve fee
high, and the top of the paper shelves
is about nine feet high, it can be east
ly seen what a difficult leap it was
However, although she had to scram
bic for the last two leaps, puss go
her progeny up all right, without in
Jury either to herself or them.

An Important Announce
ment.

Many thousands of general inves-
tors, capitalists and manufacturers
throughout the North and West and
Great Britain will have a clearer in
sight INTO the advantages of the
South and a better knowledge of
what it is accomplishing, through
series of special issues OF the Manu-
facturer's Record to be published
during the next twelve months, than
they ever had before. The value OF
these issues in attracting attention to
the South cannot be Overestimated.
The Manufacturers Record
has undertaken this series of
special editions in order to make
each one emphasize some striking
feature of Southern advancement
which could not otherwise be brought
so conspicuously to public attention.
1t is proposed, in this series, to be
issued in the next twelve months, to
present to the world at large the most
comprehensive outlines of the ex-
expansion of particular interests in
the South. The very remarkable
progress of the foreign trade of the
South, so essential to the prosperity
of the whole section, as outlined IN
the Special New Orleans Issue of
July II, will be followed next by one
lhaving as its central idea "Kansas
/ City and the Gulf Trade" the aim
being to show the influence upon
Southern development of the con-
centration of railroad and business
Interests at Kansas City looking to
1.-THE Gulf as an outlet TO foreign mar
kets. The foreign commercial inter
ests have been taken up first because
the increase of Southern comm srce
means the broadening and expand
ling of the whole business interests OF
this section, thus greatly strengthen
ing the industrial situation and bring
ling about well-rodnded develop
ment. Following this will be sever.
al special issues covering other feat
ures of Southern upbuilding. Ar
rangements have been made to guar
antee that these issues will exceed IL
circulation any proceeding publica
ton. During the next twelve months
regular advertisers in the Manufact
urers' Record will have the benei
of this remarkable extra circulation
without cost.

Whitwel Schools.

Visiting Whitwell last week we
were delighted to find 100 children
attending school although the day
was unpleasantly hot, but happily the
school house is situated in pleasant
grove and could be made an ideal
school house. We were glad to hear
that the people are interested in get
ting nine months school, as Captain
Crozier informed us that a subscript-
ion has been or will be started to con-
tinue the school when the appropria-
ton is exhausted. 1t is creditable to
the citizens of Whitwell and it is
right for them to Loyalty support the
public school.

nearly approach the truth, since, when
glasses are needed and are accurately
fitted they will not be given up be-
cause OF the assistance they render to
vision, the comfort they give in read
ing and in the long and continued use
OF the eyes they render possible. The
fiippant remark that is yet so univer-
sally popular, "Oh, l am not old
enough to wear glasses" would now
seem too silly for any one to make.
Like many other sayings, however,
that we have fallen heir to, this one
has come down to us from tn remote
period when our ancestors had no
other, or rather developed no other,
errors of refraction than the one we
call presbyopia (old vision). But this
condition of the eye is purely a
physiological or a natural one, since
it is caused by the hardening of the
lense coincident with the hardening of
the bones, gray hairs and other evi-
dences of approaching senility.
Our ancestors did not so often tax
their eyes sufficiently to bring out
their pathological errors-the imper-
feet focusing powers of their eyes
by much study and close work, as is
the custom in this day and age.

A few days ago was standing by
an American gentleman, says writer
in Truth, when expressed a wish to
know which point was north. He at
once pulled out his watch, looked at it
and pointed to the north. / asked
him whether he had a compass at
tackled to his watch.
"All watches" he replied are COM
passes"
Then he explained how this was.
Point the hour hand to the sun and
the south is just half way between the
hour and the figure XII on the watch.
For instance, suppose that it is 4
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
four to the sun, and ii on the watch
Is exactly south. Suppose that it is 8
o'clock; point the hand indicating
eight, to the sun and the figure X on
the watch is due south.

In the Black Forest the Christ
Child announces his arrival at the
door by ringing his silver bell. Then
the door is partially opened, and the
gifts are thrown in. Sometimes rod
or handful OF peas are thrown in for
the naughty folk. The rod is for
punishment, and the peas are for
penancc.
In northern Germany lights are

Saturn's temples were hung with

Christ Child.
The Christmas tree, born in Ger

where the Christ Child is known and
loved.
American children have chosen the
best of all the Christmas customs of
the old world. Santa Claus comes
from Holland; the stocking is French
or Belgian; the MERRY Christmas" is
English, as is also the mistletoe; the
holly is Norwegian, and the happy,
happy whole is American.

ne Got Judgment.
Washington Star.

A Washington attorney is rather
noted for the facility with which he
forgets financial obligations. He has
owed certain grocer So for year or
two. The other day merchant con-
cluded to try new course with him.
Meeting him in his store, he said:
Judge, l have a customer who
owes me small bill and has owed it
for long time. He makes plenty of
money, but won't pay. What would
you dor"
"Td sue him." said the lawyer en-
phatically.
"Well, l will put the account in
your hands," and the merchant pre-
sented statement of the account
against himself.
GAIL right, 1 will attend to it," said
the disciple of Blackstone.
A few days later the merchant re-
ceives the following note from the
lawyer:
"In the case of - against II
took judgement for full amount of
your claim. Execution was issued and
returned mo property found My
fee for obtaining judgment is $40, for
which amount please send check.
Will be glad to serve you in any other
matters in which you may need an
attorney"

Maryland, he said, will have the south
ern representative in the cabinet. He
also said that it looked rs if General
Otis of California would be Secretary
of war or first assistant Secretary. As
to the Dingley bill, the colonel said:
alt will not he passed this session.
1t is unsatisfactory to the tariff
reformerS, and is not enough protec-
ton for the high protectionists. A
new measure is being prepared, and
will be changed according to the
results of the tariff hearing December
q, and will be rendered to the extra
session az the measure of the ad-
mlnistration.
"The silver men in Congress will
organize to prevent discrimination
against them and for an increase of
the currency. There is not doubt
that the anti-silver men are being
deluded as the their co-called strength
i'll the next Congress. Many of those
elected as Mckinley men are ad-
vocates of and favor silver. When
they discover that international
agreement is delusion they will
come out and fight openly with the
silver men, and this means a silver
measure will go to Mckinley for his
veto, if he is so bent. There may be a
question over the ratio, but the passage
of some measure for the relief of silver
is inevitable.
Gas to the federal patronage in this
State, and who will control it, Senator
Wilson feels that it must all come
through him, and that no man will
get an appointment without his frank,
Senator Squire being regarded as not
with the organization. If Senator
Wilson's say is to govern, Senator Ide,
of your city, will be United States
Marshal; Colonel Heustis, of Tacoma,
will de Collector of Customs; Henry
d. Miller will be Minister to Japan,
and Fred Wing, of Seattle, will be
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, and there will be other im-
portant Offices sought by other i'm
portant men,"
Colonel Lewis expressed the belief
that the present Congress will do
nothing to recognize the belligerency
of Cuba. He thinks, however, that
the extra session will act favorably on
the resolution. He expresses himself
in favor of giving recognition to the
fullest extent to the Cuban insurgents.

Rather Embarrassing.

Mrs. Hoke Smith, the wife of the
United States Secretary of the Inter
ior, is the wit among the cabinet lad
les, and her descriptions of her exper-
ience with Washington society are
very amusing as narrated by a Wash
lngton' correspondent. One of her
stories concerns an encounter with
another lady of the name of Smith,
who had been spending the winter in
Washington, and had been made a
good deal of socially Shortly after
her arrival Mrs. John Smith attended
Mrs. Hoke Smiths reception, and in a
few days Mrs. Hoke Smith returned
the call. When she entered the
drawing-room, she noticed that none
of the party recognized her, and, by
way of Standardization, stepped up
to the first in the line and mentioned
her name" Mrs. Hoke Smith," The
hostess, however, took it for an in
quiry rather than an announcement,
and replied, rather tartly, MOL am
not Mrs. Hoke Smith, although l am
frequently mistaken for her. never
regretted that my name was Smith
until l came to Washington; but
since l have been here, 1 have been
called Mrs. Hoke Smith regularly ten
times a day, and it has become the
mission of my life to convince people
that am not the wife of the Secre-
tary of the interior" "I am glad of
that" said Mrs. Hoke Smith sweetly,
although she admits that she had
hard work to keep her temper. "The
Secretary of the Interior is my hus-
band, and it would be dreadfully em-
barrassing if you were his wife also"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

If your hall is narrow place a mirror
opposite the parlor door. This helps
out by reflection the very narrow
space usually given this part of the
house.
Woodenware, such as chopping trays
and molding boards, should never be
dried by the fire, as, if exposed to heat
while wet, they will warp and crack.
To brighten carpets, wipe them after
sweeping with warm water which has
had few drops of ammonia poured
in it. 1t will make them look fresh
as new.
One teaspoonful of ammonia put in
a cupful of water will clean gold or
silver jewelry. A few drops under q
diamond will clean it Immediately
making it very brilliant.
A scorch mark, if not too heavy
may be removed by moistenine
with water and laying in the sun
Repeat the moistening two or three
times and the mark will disappear.
To clean windows, put one or two
tablespoonfuls of ammonia into a
bucket of warm water. After washing
thoroughly rub with old newspapers
and they will look beautifully bright.
Grease spots may be taken out with
weak ammonia in water, and if very
carefully applied will remove spots
from paintings and chromos. Lay
soft, white paper over and iron with q
moderately hot iron.
In escaping from fire creep or
crawl along the floor of the room, with
your face as near the floor as possible.
AS smoke ascends there is always a
fresh current of air in which you can
breathe with greater ease near the
floor.
Equal parts of ammonia and
turpentine will take the paint out of
clothing, even if it has become hard
and dry. Wetthe spots often and wash
out in soap suds. Wash hair brushes
and combs in ammonia water, rinse
and dry in the sun.
