The Cat and the Mirror.

had q favorite cat which came hab-
itually to my bedroom door as soon as
persons began to move about the house
in the morning, and mewed for admit
tance, scratching to emphasize his re-
quest If immediate response were not
made.
One morning the idea seized me to
place him upon the dressing table while
l was dressing. The cat at once saw
his reflection in the mirror, and began
to arch his back and whisk his tail. He
twisted and turned himself, and began
to spit" as If eager for contest, and
Of course his apparent adversary did
the same. Then he struck savagely at
the mirror, evidently without the de-
sired result. Puzzled, he went behind
the glass to investigate, returning thor
oughly dissatisfied and eager to get at
closer quarters.
began to stroke him, and in the mirror
he now saw his own reflection and
mine, with my hand upon his head. 1t
seemed as If the cat took in the situa-
ton at once, for he glanced from me to
the reflection several times, lost his ir-
ritation, and settled down to watch
the proceedings, every now and then
looking into the mirror and back to me-
Many a time subsequently he took up
his position before the mirror, quietly
and naturally regarding his own and
my image without the slightest emo

I'D THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAws

e 10 Forty.six Years eince They
Fret Came Into View.
Forty-six years ago the bifurcated
garment for female dress was ushered
INTO a cold and critical world, and the
mother Of this now popular invention.
Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, was thereby
placed in the niche of deathless fame.
Mrs. Boomers high social position and
intelligence cannot be disputed. She
was engaged in editing the Lily, tenn
perance journal, when her crusade in
favor Of dress reform was begun, and
the columns of that paper fairly bloom
I'd with the advocacy Of her radical
Ideas.
The use Of the bloomer Is at present
chiefly confined to athletic sports, but
Its originator intended 1t to have more
general adoption. 1t was to take the
place, on every occasion, Of the more
cumbersome skirt, which at that time,
was Increasing In size to such an extent

the new costume was ut ball. given mt
the house of one of the leaders of So
ciety in the town in which she lived,
and she was the center of attraction
during the entire evening.
The press Of the country discussed
the bloomer from all points Of view and
women in those days had not the moral
courage to wear the garment. So II

Saved by Ladybirda,

The secretary Of the committee ap-
pointed by the Royal Society of London
and the British Association for the Ad-
yancement of Science to investigate
'he fauna of the Sandwich Islands has
recently given an interesting account
Of the triu.nphs achieved by coccinella
beetles, or laos ybirds," introduced into
those islands to combat the aphides
and other injurious insects which were
destroying sugar cane and fruit trees.
The ladybirds, as soon as they had bred
In sufficient numbers, swept everything
before them, and saved the trees and
plants from threatened destruction.
This method Of setting one species Of
insect at war with another, for the ben
eft of man, has proved particularly
successful in the Sandwich Islands,
where the struggle for existence among
native insects has not been so severe
ms in continental countries. and where
the hardy invaders were as resistless
as the trained legions of Rome when
pitted against barbarian hordes.

For many years the greatest source
Of the fine grained stone used In lith-
ography has been the Quarries at Solen-

sess particular interest. because in
them have been discovered remains Of
exceedingly strange and rare prehistor-
ic animals, such as some Of the flying
reptiles that once dwelt in Europe, but
have now disappeared from the earth.
The science of geology has gained much
from these fossils, which, fiattened and

whereby she has handed down to us
pictures Of a world whose antiquity ex-

quarries are approaching exhaustion.
and that a new source Of supply of lith-

TIL. shane of the Earth.

A French scientist, Monsieur De ZAP
parent, finds in Nansen's discovery of
the Unexpectedly great depth of the
Arctic ocean an argument tending to
show that the earth Is slightly top
shaped. the protuberance correspond
Ing to the point of the top being at the
south pole. This, he thinks, would ex-
plain the different results arrived at by
the various measurements of astrono-
mers and geodesists. These differences
are very small in comparison with the
entire bulk of the globe, yet they are
readily appreciable, and one Of the ex-
plantations that has been suggested for
them is that the earth is tetrahedral
In form. But Monsieur De rApparent
thinks the top-shape theory is prefera-
BILE. The fact that to an eye looking at
the earth from point in space it would
not sensibly differ in appearance from
q true sphere. shows how refined are
the methods Of science which enable
men living oh the surface of the globe
TO detect variations in its general con.
tour.

BESIDE THE BAY.

A woman by cottage door,
Noting the sunsets golden hue,
Said auaintly to summer guest,
ooh, lookl the lights almost shine
through
Then told the tale tell to you.
The winds blew here the winds blew there,
In Gerry cline beneath the sun.
We dreamed they would some happy day
Bring tidings of our wandering one.
White ships came in from every sea
That beats between the frozen poles.
We watched them bearing up the bay
Their freights of home returning souls.
A loving fancy came to me,
Staid with me, would not 60 away,
That some time should hear his voice
Blown landward from the foaming bay.
One March day, when the tides were out
My man and sat in the sun.
An iris blossomed by the step
Twas planted by our wandering one.
The neighbors slur the ''fond conceit,'
But we both heard these words that day
"Rest comes not to the watching heart.
Abide in peace and hope and pray.
"The sea is Gods. All seas are one.
So sit you here beuide the bay
And think these grading waves perchance
Are loves own hands that show the way
Between you and your lost today"
Since that springtime sweet peace is ours.
We rest and pray and calmly wait
Our wandering boy seems near us now.
The sea line is the heavenly gate.

There is little girl named Nellie

Chronicle-Telegraph, who has aston.
ished the neighborhood by a cute little
trick which was SO bright that even her
parents had to laugh, and she escaped
even scolding. A grocer in the neigh,
borhood had sent out a message to his
customers that he was in need Of money.
The little girls mother thought her bill
was about SIS and gave Nellie SIS bill
to give the grocer and told her to bring
back some sugar.
Can have a penny?" asked Nellie.
ooh, yes. If there is one left you can
have it, her mother replied.
Nellie went to the store and brought
back the sugar. A few days later the
grocer sent his bill, and it contained an
acknowledgment of leash received,
$4.99." The lady had paid no such sum
and asked for an explanation. The gro.
Ger said, "That's what Nellie brought. :"
The little girl was called in to OK.

a penny, and I went to the drug store
