Learned In One Lesson.

A truly remarkable story of feline in
telligence was lately told by a CORE
spondent of the London Spectator. In
deed. it might fairly be called incredi-
BILE, only that the correspondent, as will
be seen, vouches for its truth.
am induced to send you an account
of q remarkable instance Of feline sa-
gacity which occurred in my house Last
week.
About fortnight ago my black Per-
sian cat brought to the house a young
sparrow, and taking it to the front door
mat, began stripping it Of its feathers.
The cook. not approving At the litter
made BY the said feathers, doubled the
mat over and told the cat he must not
make such a litter. but strew the feathers
ON the wrong side of the mat and not ON
the top.
A fortnight afterward the cat brought
in another bird and. marvellous to say,
turned the mat-which was o heavy coir
mat-oyer with his claws, and Uttered
the wrong side Of it with the feathers,
precisely as the cook had told him to do.
This is absolutely true, and without
exaggeration.

BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE CATHEDRAL.

And Its Unique Way Of Protection From
Fire by Fountains.
When foreign architects visit Japan
and see the cathedral of Buddhism for
the first time, they are generally aston
ished at the magnificent structure. 1t is
executed in pure oriental style and is
richly ornamented with carvings. H.
Ito, famous builder of Nagoya City.
designed it. The structure was COM
menced in 1878 and was completed in
1895. The cost has been estimated at
$4,000. 600. 1t would have greatly ex-
beeded this amount had not numbers of
Buddhists worked without any recon-
pense.
As the structure neared completion
the committee having the work in
charge was much perplexed as to fire
insurance. They found that no company
would assume the risk ON such q valu-
able wooden structure, the danger of de-
struction by fire being very great, and
thus the premiums would amount to an
enormous sum of money. At last the
committee decided ON a design devised
by DR.. Tanabe. Numbers of powerful
fountains were constructed, both exterior
and interior. which can be made to play
ON all parts Of the structure at the same
time.
Usually only one great ornamental
fountain is playing, rising to the great
height of 157 feet. This is probably the
largest artificial fountain in existence,
emitting S2,0sO gallons per hour. In
case of fire all the water pressure is d.
rected through the numbers Of exterior
and interior fountains. Thus every part
Of the structure, both inside and out,
could soon he drenched and any confla-
grafton soon extinguished.-St. Louis

Americans In Nova Scotia.

A lady of Nova Scotia, writing to tine
Boston Transcript. says that the Ameri-
cans who visit Nova Scotia are almost
without exception pleasant and well
hammered people. "We note some slight
difference between their speech and ours.
Their voices are higher and sharper. and
they are more mp to date as to slang. !
am afraid that in our heart of hearts
we feel ourselves o little superior in re-
pose OF manner, for the rollickipg enjoy
ment OF the ordinary American when on
o holiday in Nova Scotia is, perhaps, too
evident. But when the patience with
which they endure many Inconvenience,
the zest with which they enter into any
pleasures that come in their way, and
the good will with which they are ever
ready to help any charitable scheme
which may be afoot in a place where
they are staying are put in the scale
against the loudness which sometimes
onends us. the trifling popularity kicks
the beam"

= FAMOUS eptrApn.


-
Self Exiled Englishman.
There are some interesting epitaphs in
the old graveyards in Pouehkeepsie, but
probably none Of them has been SO wide
IL known and admired a. that on the
stone which marks the burial place of
John Taylor in front Of Christ church,
ON Academy street. This epitaph has
been widely published ON both sides of
the ocean. it is said, and is believed to
have been written by the English poet
William Roscoe and sent over for his
friend Taylor's gravestone. Yet the
stone lies neglected, and the last three
lines of the epitaph have been broken
of, probably during the work preceding
the building of the new church. The
epitaph was published in Benson J.
Lossing's book ON "Vassar College and
Its Founder" and was greatly admired
and frequently quoted by Matthew Vas
sar, Jr., as many Of his friends remem-
Der. The inscription and epitaph ON the
stone are as follows:

Here Wondering in the dust poor Taylor lies

Which gave q Hampden, Milton, Bradshaw

But when that country, dead to all but gain,
Bowed her base neck and Rugged the Cypress

And nobly scorn to be or hold q slave.
The last line is one that has been par
ticularly admired and frequently quoted
and it is gone from the stone. which i.
broken off just after the fourth line
from the end. That this stone should
have been SO mutilated seems little short
of vandalism. John Taylor is said tt
have come to this country about the
same time that the Vassar family came
shortly after the close of the American
Revolution, and at time when the
English government was REFRESHING ali

repetition in England of the French revo
luton. He was the uncle of Mr. Hudson
Taylor, and the greatuncle of Mr.. Rob
ert E. Taylor. His father, DR.. John Tay
lor, was very prominent man in Eng
land, with many influential friends, one
of whom was the poet Roscoe, who
wrote the epitaph, which reminds one
very much of some of Goldsmith's best
nes.-Poushkeepsie Eagle.

impressed with the necessity of having

sible, should always be kept in the
moonlight.
"Well. the balcony scene arrived. and

Francisco Miranda was q type Of the
reckless fighter and adventurer always
dear to the hero worshiper. and he was

Of Venezuela's revolution against Spain
that he will always be held as nation
n hero.
He was born in Caracas in 1856 and
entered the Spanish military service
when hewas II. BE served in the Unit
ed States in 1880 and later in Cuba. He
was forced to leave Cuba for some illegal
transaction. and for several years led an
adventurous life in Russia. Turkey,
England and Germany. He went into
the French service at the outbreak of the
revolution and by brilliant service reach

as one Of the great captains of the revo-
luton. His reckless and adventurous
spirit apparently kept him in constant
conflict with sober law. for in 1897 he
was condemned by the directory, but es-
capped to England. Receiving no aid in
England, he came to tho United States.
Here he put into motion his scheme
Of freeing his. native country from the
Spanish rule. He found means to equip
two small vessels, and with 200 volun-
teers he sailed for Venezuela. He landed
early in 1906 and was attacked by a
superior Spanish force, losing many of
his men. The Spanish captain burned
Miranda in efigy and offered $4,000
for his capture. He recouped his forces,
and few months later took Spanish
town, but did not succeed in arousing
the people to revolution.
It was some time later that he met
Bolivar and with him went to Europe to
secure aid for their enterprise.
When they returned in December,
1910. Miranda organized the first repub-
lican government, which was made pos
sible by the uprising of the people in
April. 1910. He was vice president of
congress and signed the constitution and
the act of independence. He was COM
mander of the army and won several
victories over the Spanish, but his disre-
gard for all p-oprieties finally got him
into trouble. His fellow officers among
the revolutionists turned against him,
he was accused Of being traitor to the
cause, and in 1912 he was taken prisoner
by his own party.
He was allowed to fall into the hands
of the Spanish authorities, who sent him
to Cadiz in 1918 as political prisoner.
Three years later, ON July IA, 1916. he
died.-New York Mail and Express.
