Met n Wildcat,

The Winsted Citizen relates an odd ex-
perience of George o. Hill of Burryille
while driving home on recent night.
He was driving along at a rapid gait,
when suddenly his horse stopped and stood
stock still. Mr.. Hill, wondering what
made his horse act in such manner, got
out of the wagon, when terrifying sight
met his eye. 1t was large wildcat stand
ing in the middle of the road, his eyes
cleaning in the darkness.
After Mr.. Hill had somewhat recovered
from his scare he made an attempt to get
into his wagon, but the cat growled when
he moved, and Mr.. Hill staid where he
was. He could devise no means to get
away, and the more he looked at the cat
the more he wished he was home by his
own fireside. When he compared his own
predicament to the comfortable situation
of his own home, he began singing, If we
may credit The Citizens story, Home
Sweet Homo, in manner that would ex
cite much merriment If the situation was
otherwise. The sound found its way tt
the ears of party in q neighboring farm
house, who ca1ne to the rescue armed witt
guns and sticks. The cat, when he caught
sight Of the rescuing party, evidently
thought discretion the better part Of valol
and "vamoosed.

Distressing Possibility.

Ordinary people, who don't buy bonds,
have talked recently more about the Roent-
gen discovery than about anything else.
1t is the most genuinely astonishing thing
in science since the invention of the pho
nograph. The medical aspect of the discov-
cry, which may lead to the photographing
of ones internal organs as preliminary
to every visit of the doctor, is possibly the
most interesting side of the matter, though
the promise of French savant to so adapt
the cathode rays'-if they are the cathode
rays-to the eyes that we can all see
through solid substances may be the most
startling feature Of all. If the day should
ever come when that should be done, what
a world of humbugs would be at an end
Clothes of course after that would be worn
simply as protection against cold Ev-
erybody could see how much money every
body else had in his pocket. Skeletons
would be visible in carefully locked closets.
We should begin to feel that tho very se-
crets of our hearts were being laid bare.
And even now we see rather more than is
good for us. Let us hope, on the whole,
that the cathode rays will be left to the
camera. That is bad enough. .--Boston

Intaresting washing.

An amusing little story is told III con-
nection with a French journalist. who
in his early days as a reporter had a
deeply rooted aversion to the regulation
notebook OF his order, and hit upon a
method Of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them, by the aid Of tiny pencil,
be took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts Of places, unobserved by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly puz-
zled by these peculiar Communications,
but as time went on she learned to de-
cipher many of them, and gathered the
news of the week from her patron g
cuffs, much to her delight.
One night, when she took home the
washing, the journalist CHANGED to be
coming out Of his room as she entered.
"Ah, monsieur, !" she said, dropping a
courtesy, "your last washing was very
interesting, but we had less political
news than the week before. Is not sop'

LIFE Is WORTH LIVING.

Is life worth living7 Yes, SO long
AS spring revives the year,
And halls us with the cuckoo song.
To show that she is here;
So long as May OF April takes,
III smiles and tears, farewell,
And wildfiowers dapple all the brakes,
And primroses the dell;
While children in the woodlands yet
Adorn their little laps
With ladysmock and violet,
And daisy-chain their caps;
While over orchard daffodils
Cloud-shadows float and fleet,
And ousel pipes and leverock trills.
And young lambs buck and bleat;
So long as that which bursts the bud
And swells and tunes the rill
Makes springtime in the maiden's blood,
Life is worth living still.
