The Fad For Angora Cats,

There is fad, notably in New York
city, just now for Angora cats. OF course
these cats and kittens are not new. They
have been known to fame for centuries.
But the present fad for them is quite new,
and no one need be surprised on entering
a fashionable woman's boudoir to see a
ball OF fluffy cotton on the floor, which,
on investigation, will resolve itself into a
long haired and long tailed Angora. The
New York Herald tells that the fanciers
are selling Angora cats at from $40 for a
small animal of doubtful points to $40 or
$50 for the prize winning beauties of cat

RAILWAY ENTERTAINERS.


Tnslr Delicate Tasks In tho Society Of
Capitalists From Abroad.
Hes the entertainer Of railroad COM
HAny,' said one man to another about
third man who had saluted the speaker in
passing.
And whom does he entertain?'
Mostly men from the other side Of the
Atlantic whom the company wishes to in
terest In Its schemes or securities. Other
persons, too, If need be. Doubtless he has
work of other sorts on hand, but he is
chosen primarily because he knows how to
Bntertain.''
The entertainer of railway company Is
we'll spoken man, who knows just what
to say and when to say it. He takes the
visiting capitalist in hand, introduces him
to the right people and sees that he does
not fall in with the wrong people. Per-
haps he sees that the stranger is made
comfortable at some good club or even in
vited to fashionable houses, although the
entertainer does not make use unnecessa-
rily of what is known as society in further
ing his ends. There are still some rich
Britons who hope to be richer through
transactions in American stocks, bonds
and mortgages. There are some amazing
sudden wealth to be had in such transac-
tions For the most part, however, the
visiting foreign capitalist is in search of
Investments that will pay higher divi-
dends than investments at home. 1t is the
business of the entertainer to make such
men see his road as the managers wish it
to be seen. The task is delicate one, for
the visiting capitalist is often shy and sus-
picious. Being a great man at home, he
would resent a palpable attempt to manip-
ulate him. If he is to see the right people
and be kept away from the wrong people,
the machinery that compasses all this
must be kept out of view.
The entertainer comes out in great form
when he sends party of capitalists ON a
tour of inspection over the road. Some
such tours are historic, and when their
history comes to be written it will be
found vastly more entertaining than the
list Of distinguished guests given to the
press through the agency of the entertain
sr. That shrewd person sees that the trip
is embellished with all the luxuries of the
table, solid and liquid, that the right men
encounter the visitors at the right places,
and that the proper statistics are thrown
in the way of the strangers. There are
great many clever persons employed in
managing a railway system, and consider
able sums are expended by every company
for lubricating oil to keep engines and
other machinery in order, but there is no
cleverer person and no more efficient lu-
bricator than the entertainer. 1t has been
said that no could not stand the test for
moral color blindness, but doubtless this
Is an invention.-Ne York Sun.

A Timely Remedy.

Each season forces upon our
consideration it's own peculiar
perils to health The advent of
fall finds many reducedln strenth
and vigor, poorly prepared to
continue the business of life. The
stomach and bowels, the great
highway Of animal economy, is
especially liable to disorder in
the fall. The nervous system has
also suffered in the struggle. Ty-
phoid fever and malaria in par
ticular find in the fall that + h e
combination of earth, air and wa
ter that mark this season as es-
pecially danger Gus. The falling
leaves, the decaying vegetables
contribute their share to contain
ination. Hoods Sarsaparilla fur
nishes a most valuable safeguard
to these important points, aud
should be used in the fall b fore
serious sickness has laid youlow.
