Learned In One Lesson.

A truly remarkable story Of feline in
telligence was lately told by 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.
I am induced to send you an account
of a remarkable instance of feline sa-
gacity which occurred in my house last
week.
About a fortnight ago my black Per
sian cat brought to the house young
sparrow, and taking it to the front door
mat, began stripping it of its feathers.
The cook, not approving Of the litter
made by the said feathers, doubled the
mat over and told the cat he must not
make such Il 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 heavy COR
mat-over 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.

Cremation Growing In Favor.

The movement i'll favor of cremation
as against earth burial is growing i'll
England. The other day Mr.. William
Rathbone, ex NJ P, stated III public
that he had made provision for crema-
ton in his own case on principle and
with view to promoting the reform.
At this moment q new crematorium is
almost ready for use at Liverpool. 1t Is
a neat building of red sandstone, simple
and chaste in design. The main door
opens into a small chapel, From this
room the coffin will be carried after the
burial service is read into small apart
ment beyond and there placed upon an
iron frame running on wheels and rails
in line with the furnace and pushed
noiselessly into the abode Of flames.
From the chapel the clergyman, fol-
lowed by the relatives of the deceased,
will ascend stair Oh the opposite side
from the door by which the coffin has
been removed into small gallery over
looking the door of the furnace. From
this gallery the service prescribed for
the grave will be read and the mourn
ers will take the last look Of the coffin
as it disappears within the furnace.
The situation of the crematorium at An
field is wisely chosen, being i'll the heart
of a pretty suburban neighborhood and
accessible from all parts of the city.
There is an office, with a cottage for the
caretaker attached, at the entrance gate
The crematorium will be opened for
public use not later than April l.

CRANKY GUESTS.
Experience of Hotel Clerks In Dealing
With Some of Them.

81 cannot sleep i'll that room, said
guest at hotel in this city last evening
as he walked to the desk i'll the office
and threw the key upon it.
"What is the matter with it," asked
the clerk.
''There is nothing the matter with 1t
except that the bed is i'll the wrong
place." the guest replied. For more
than 20 years have slept in bed with
the head toward the north, and it has
become such a habit with me that it
would be actually impossible for me to
sleep with the head in any other direc-
ton.
at will be impossible for me to give
you q room containing a bed with the
head in that direction, said the clerk.
1.-THE hotel is we'll filled tonight, and l
have only two vacant rooms, but l Will
have the bed turned for you. Calling
a porter, the clerk instructed him TO
turn the bed in the gentleman E room SO
that the head would be TO the north.
The guest followed the porter up stairs,
and as nothing further was heard from
him it is presumed that he retired and
slept peacefully. -.
"There is no accounting for tastes, -
said the clerk, turning to the reporter,
"and the funny experiences we have IN
the hotel business would fill volume.
Before the night is over we may have
calls for beds with their heads turned to
every point Of the compass, and OF
course we are obliged to accommodate
every one.
~ remember an instance like this
several years ago. A man slightly in
ebriated came into the hotel one night,
and producing a pocket compass said
that he wished a room where the head
of the bed should be placed to the
northeast. We sent two boys with him,
and they turned the bed as requested,
The joke was that the compass was
furnished with little stop, which held
the indicator in certain position. 1t
SO happened that the gentleman's bed,
which had been carefully placed north
east according to the compass, was III
reality placed with the head to the
south. The man discovered his mistake
the next morning and was cured OF the
fad. "-Philadelphia Bulletin.

FRANCISCO MIRANDA.
Held In Reverence In Venezuela as q Pho
neer of Liberty.

neer Oh
Francisco Miranda was type of the
reckless fighter and adventurer always
dear to the hero worshiper, and he was
so closely identified with the inception
Of Venezuela revolution against Spain
that he will always be held as nation
al hero.
He was born in Caracas in 1856 and
entered the Spanish military service
when he was II. He served in ia 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
ed the rank of major general His name
is on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris,
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 the 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
superior Spanish force, losing many OF
his men, The Spanish captain burned
Miranda in effigy 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.
1t 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 III
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 proprieties finally got him
into trouble. His fellow officers among
the revolutionists turned against him,
he was accused of being a 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
