PRIZE-FIGHTING CAT.
He Is the Pet of the Police Force
of st. Louis.
Whips Anything in sight and Is Not
Afraid to Meet Any Number of
Antagonists-IIas Never
Been Licked.

Capt. Sam Boyd, of the Seventh dis
trict station at st. Louis, claims he is
the possessor of the brainiest, scrap
piest and biggest cat in that city. This
feline wonder is known as plain Tom
and nothing else. When quite young
he showed decided penchant for rats
and mice, and after his sojourn in the
-Four Courts of two years, he had every
thing in the shape of rat or mouse
on the run. He grew up big and strong,
and while at the Four Courts licked
every dog that tried to tackle him. Capt.
Boyd guarded him with jealous care,
and woe be unto the man who tried to
injure Tom in his presence.
One day Tom was sleeping in the
boiler room beneath Chief Desmond's
Office, when Ryan, the engineer, sicked
his Scotch terrier on the sleeping Tom.
They both pitched in and fought fast
and furious for Is minutes, at the end
of which Ryan's terrier was stretched
out on the floor badly battered up.
Every officer in the district chaffed
Ryan over the defeat of his dog, and to
get even one day he brought another
terrier down to the Four Courts, and
after Turing big Tom downstairs, he
set both dogs onto him. Tom stood his
ground like a veteran and fought the
dogs until he fell to the ground ex-
hausted and bleeding profusely. At
This time Capt. Boyd had been moved
up to the Seventh, and telephone mes
sage informed him that his cat was
dying. The captain hitched up his
buggy and drove in all haste to the Four
Courts, and the sight of his pet, cut and
bleeding, almost made him desperate.
He swore by his shield that he could lick
the man who was instrumental in in
juring his cat, and Ryan took yaca-
ton. Tom was tenderly carried back to

American sunday-schooIs.

In the 70 years of its existence the
American Sunday School union has
founded 100000 schools, from which
5000 churches have sprung. Last year
it started 1,sOO Sunday schools, and dur
ing that time 1OS churches developed
from schools which previously had been
opened. The greater part of this work
is being done in Minnesota. the Da-
kotas, Montana. Idaho, Texas. Kansas,

The Origin of the Eel.

Prof. Grassi, of Rome, is said to have
been the first to discover the cells origin,
and it is only within the last two or
three years that accurate information
on the subject has been obtained. 1t
has long been known that at certain
seasons young elvers ascend rivers, but
no one could tell from whence they
came. Prof, Grassi's patient labors
have been rewarded by finding that
cells, after descending rivers, travel
long distances, until deep parts of the
ocean are reached. Eggs are deposited
in depths of about $50 fathoms, and
from their transparent, colorless, thin
bodied creatures are developed which
were formerly thought to be a different
family of fishes. The larvae, when they
reach a certain size, cease to eat, the
body shrinks, and the elver that as
cends the rivers is formed.

the captain, VINO actually shed tears
of joy. 1t turned out that the cat sup
posed to be Tom was stray one which
some boys had killed and left in front
of the station.
Tom struts around the station as
though he owns it while the captain is
around to protect him, but when the
captain is away Tom goes visiting, and
awaits his return at the front door,
when he walks in proudly and takes pos
session of the office. A short while ago
he spied strange cat on top of the
station, and made straightway to do
him. They fought all around the roof,
and suddenly they fell to the ground,
a distance of 80 feet, but the action did
not stop the fight. Instead, they kept
it up after reaching the ground. The
captain saw the whole thing, and he
danced around the fighting cats, all the
while urging on Tom. Tom won, and
the captain proudly carried him into
his office and fed him on cream and cake
for week. The captain says Tom has
never been licked, and that he would
not sell him for love or money.

both ends opened into the vacant fielu.
The next morning Mr.. Hog started for
the cornfield as usual. He trotted along
the fence until he came to the log, and
worked his way into the hollow log.
After moment he emerged at the OPP
posite end of the log. He was probably
the most surprised hog in history. He
looked around in dazed way and then
gazed reproachfully at the log. Again
he entered the log and again he
emerged on the wrong side of the fence.
Thus he spent the forenoon, and only
gave up the task when it was apparent
that some one had done him wrong.
There is a moral in this story" said
Uncle John, as he lighted another
match, '"but you can apply it to suit
yourself. / am afraid that as people
we too often resemble Farmer Joe's
hog, and that no matter what we do
we come out on the same side of the
fence"

THERE STOOD TOM.

the Seventh and surgeon summoned,
who, after exhausting his skill on Tom,
succeeded in saving his life. He grad
ually became stronger, and to-day he is
the cock of the walk at the station.
The captain, in speaking of Tom to a
reporter, tells a very funny story of
how he walked up the street one day
last summer and found Tom lying in
front of the station dead, with a rope
tied around his neck. He walked into
the station, and his anger knew no
bounds. He lined up every sergeant,
oflicerand clerk and closely questioned
them about the killing of his pet. He
then pulled off his shield and dramat-
ically said: 80" cur that was cruel
enough to mu. 4 Tom will have to
do likewise witt me. Step out here
and be man and take your medicine"
Not a man budged, aud this irritated
the captain more than ever. He walked
into his office and for over a week he
hardly spoke to his men. One after.
noon, about IL days later, Tom walked
through the window into the captains
Office. The captain stood up and gazed
at the form of Tom as though in a

eyes; but there stood Tom as big as
life. he was taken up-and caressed by

but for some reason kept swimming in a
circle of small diameter, while the
clumsy turtle slowly turned and
snapped at it. Sick as it was, the trout
eluded the turtle for some minutes, but
the end was near. The turtle suddenly
changed its tactics, and instead ofturn-
ing, waited for the sick fish to come
around again, and in flash shot out its
cruel beak and chopped piece out of
the trout's back. The fight was over
from that moment, and the snapper de-
voured part of its prey.

FOG Purlfie. Atmosphere.

Fogs are said. to be great purifiers
of the atmosphere. There is a belief
that smoke may be turned into a
hygienic ally and be made to help pre-
serve the public health. 1t is suspected
that the breathing Of arsenic and other
minerals in finely divided state, Gs it
is found in the smoke from some fur
naces, may account for the immunity
from epidemics enjoyed by certain in
dustrial districts, while pestilence has
ragged in elevated residence towns not
far distant.

PIGGY GAZING AT THE LOG.

gate had not been opened and there
was no apparent break in the fence.
Farmer Joe drove him out, but next
day he was back again. He chased him
up and down the fence but to no pur-
pose. The hog would go out only
through the gate, though it was certain
he had not entered by that way.
Farmer Joe was curious, and decided
to keep a watch and solve the porcine
mystery. In the early morning the hog
skirted the fence until he came to a
huge log which formed part of it. The
log was hollow, and by some effort the
hog squeezed through and entered upon
the promised land. Nothing could in
duce him to go back by that entrance
and the gate had to be again opened.
upon examination Farmer Zoe dis
covered that the log was crooked and
half circular in shape. With the aid of
a hired man he uried II around so that

HOG BADLY FOOLED.
Mean Trick That Was Played on an
Innocent Shoat.

THE meanest trick that was ever in
vented was played on hog" said Uncle
John. as he lighted his pipe and settled
back in his chair for an after-dinner
smoke. "a neighbor of ours owned this
hog, and he was mighty wise critter,
as my story will show. This neighbor
also owned large cornfeld, among
other possessions, and this cornfeld
was well guarded by a fence with but
one gate. Well, this old porker had
the liberty of field next to the corn
patch, and the farmer was astonished
one day to find the hog wandering
around in the forbidden territory. The

Tom Garrison, of Greenwood Lake,
was in town the other day to see his
friend Louis LaRoche, of Vesey street,
and the first thing he talked about, says
the New York Sun, was an interesting
incident which he witnessed in passing
Peter Cooper Hewitt's trout pond, near
Ringwood. Tom said that his attention
was attracted to a commotion in the
pond near the railroad bank, and a mo-
ment later he saw that sick trout,
nearly foot in length, was at the
mercy of swapping turtle.

its back and was evidently in dying

Lions Affected by weather.

A popularity noticed by the keepers
is that bad weather affects lions just
as it does human beings. A rainy day
will make them limp and listless, and a
glimpse of sunshine makes them happy
as crickets. Bad weather, however,
does not prevent them remembering
when meal time is at hand, and they
are as restless as young kittens till
their food is forthcoming.

Tho faces of the women ono pass

too often, saddoning story, says
tho Family Doctor. Ono woman
purses up her lips, another screws
her eyes into unnaturalness, while Il
third will wrinkle up her forehead
and eyebrows until sho looks abso-
lutoly ugly. Tho trick is an uncon-
scious one, but it is mono tho less Il
trick, and bad ono There is no
reason why n woman should look
forbidding and bad-temperod just
because sho is annoyed about some
thing. Deep seated trouble has n
way of writing itself upon the face
whether we will or not. Sickness,
too, has it's own handwriting, and
will not be concealed by art. But
the frown caused by superficial trou-
bles should not be entertained by
the face for an instant. We should
strive to look as pleasant ~ possible
for tho sake Of others; a correspond
ing cheorfulness of temperament will
inevitably result, and always to the
sweetening of our nature
We cannot afford to go about with
gloomy faces. TO depress others ie
not for us; our work is to choor, to
raise up, to comfort, but wo shall
never do this unless we cultivate q
pleasant demoanor, and the cheerful
temper insoparable from it. This
brings us to that question of worry.
Can we put it moro strongly than to
say that it is "a duty to put care,
worry, fretfulness behind oneH The
habit must be learned, or wo shall
not "grow straight in tho strength
of our spirit, and live out our life as

it. "It is difficult to 90 that" says

Of difficulties. Tho more difficult
tho right thing is to do, tho greater
reason for doing it. All we need is

Columbia, S. c., juno 22.-In the
two and half hours session which
the court Of inquiry held yesterday
nine witnesses were examined, and
almost all tho evidence that the
court will require heard. Major b.
B. Evans seemed to consider tho
proceedings q huge joke.
General Watts took tho stand and
made a statement Of his posit ion and
also to say that the press Of tho State
had done him an injustice. At II
O'Clock the court was called to order.
a number Of ladios and spectators
wore in attendance. Police Sergeant
Jones said that he gave orders, az is
tho custom, for Policemen Dowio
and McQuarters to act under the
orders Of the officers in charge of the
inspection.

he said there was no order in the
company. He wont back to Police
man Dowie and triod to stop the
fight. A student cursed him and he
answered back that the student had
better not attompt violence rs he
had his gun and would uso it.
Major B. B. Evans, who had been
invited to accompany General Watts
on tho inspection, said that as to tho
cause of the disturbance that there
was an evident desire on tho part Of
some to have trouble, which he
thought could easily have been
averted by the authorities.
Professor Sloan, in his opinion,
however, WAS determined to show
that he was president Of the college,
and General Watts wished it under
stood that he was head of tho militia.
This was tho cause Of tho disturb
ance, Of which he has boen more
fully convinced since by the inham-
atory speech of DIR. Woodrow to the
students upon his return. The col
lege boys would rather fight than do
anything olse.
Asked about tho disturbance at
the third base, tho witness answered
that when General Watts ordered
the policeman to move back the
crowd there was jeoring. AS to its
| nature, he said he could not initiate
it. If anyone did call out to "Eat
him up, whiskers," he supposed it
| had been because General Watts no
longer had any moustache. Cribs refe-
ronco was to Con Watts having shaved
off his moustache.) Major Evans
throughout his testimony showed II

as if tho proceedings wore farccal

Of his former testimony and stated
that on ordering the police to movet the
crowd back and tho students refusing
to 90, the problem presented itsolf
