CATS THAT SEE NO DAYLIGHT

New York Post once Has Rather Re-
markable Rat Service.
1T may not be generally known that
there is remarkable aggregation OF
cats in the big city post Office in New
York." said a traveller to Washington
News reporter. II served in that office
once and became SO interested in the
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
cats in the basement of the building
that began to make sort OF study OF
the animal in general. These cats are
kept there to prevent the mice from
chewing up the contents OF the man
bags. So necessary are they regarded
that an appropriation of twenty dol
lars a month is available for their sup
port. The light of day never strikes
the room in which the cats are allowed
to roam, and from year in to year out
the electric lights are kept burning.
These cats know very well that the
light is artificial, and no one can tell
me to the contrary, for, as say, have
made study of them. The conse-
uuencc is the animals labor under the
delusion that all time is night time,
and IN spite of the fact that several
hundred persons are at worl: IL the
room constantly, those cats are not de-
TERED from indulging in their noe
turnal serenades. They howl and fight
and scratch exactly the same as If they
were stationed on back yard fence
with the darkness of Egypt about
them. Oh, yes, the clerks become used

HER HUSBANDS SERVANT.
Only - such Can Mrs. Toy Yee Return
to This Country.

Only ~ such Can Mrs. Toy Yee Return
to This Country.
Because the new Chinese treaty
makes no specific provision for estab-
fishing the status of a Chinese woman
who may desire to leave this country
with intention to return, says the Phil
adelphia Record, Mrs. Toy zee, the
wife of Lee Hoe, q wealthy Race street
merchant, has applied to Collector
Read for permission to accompany her
husband to China in tie c9nacity OF .
servant.
Some weeks ago Lee Hoe sold out his
business to Lee Chow, and determined
to make visit with his wife to their
old home, near Hong Kong. Lee Hoe
las been registered with Internal Rev
enue Collector Doyle, and his credeE.
Malls as a merchant, with some thou
sands of dollars to his credit, were all
right. 1t was the intention of Lee Hoe
and his wife to remain in China not
longer than a year, and when they filed
their applications for privilege to re-
turn with Collector Read, and gave him
their photographs, they were surprised
to find that there was a barrier against
Mrs. Toy Yee. The law was plain
enough SO far as Lee Hoe was con-
cerned, but nothing was said about the
wives of Chinese merchants. The law
did say that the servants OF merchants
might enjoy the same rights as their
masters, so Mrs. Toy zee bought new
hat, arranged herself in true American
fashion before a photographers camera
and soon brought her picture to the
|
with her husbands photograph, and
the whole matter given to the specia
treasury agents for investigations.
The treasury agents have reported
favorably and Mrs. Toy Yee- will leav'
for Hong Kong via Richfield. VT, in
few days. The government takes
liberal view of the case and looks upol
the husband and wife as one, but tn
safeguard of strict compliance with tn
law has been adhered to.

He HAD COURAGE.


nut nAs meke-Up was Lacking In Strategy
and 1t Awaited Him Not.
There are many times, albeit not char
acterized by startling frequency, when
the nerve - the emotional nerve - of
Macallister Mcnhenny reasserts itself,
and for the moment gives hope to his
friends that he will yet storm the cit
adel of some fair maiden's heart and
claim it as his own, says the Detroit
free Press. The latest recrudescence,
30 to speak, in this line manifested IL
self recently. a
The buoyant and hopeful Mac had
found another sweet creature who had
permitted him to visit her after the first
call. In that alone was certain tri-
nmph to which Macallister McIlhenny
WAS not slow to respond.
On the occasion Of which this chron.
icle treats he had tarried until he was
in sight of the wee sma' hours, and in .
wild burst Of enthusiasm he had pro-
posed to her, as he had many, many
times proposed to so many, many other
maidens.
But the girl resented It asif men were
plenty.
"Go!" she answered him, haughtily
Ego, sir!"
She was 30 radiantly beautiful, and
Macallister McIlhenny was SO dead In
earnest, that before she knew what
had happened he had bent forward ant
kissed her with loud report
"Sir!" she exclaimed, with great in
dignation, "you have gone too far"
Il beg your pardon" he replied, non
chalantly, ''you told me to go, but yoa
didn't say how far, and l went"
But it availed him not. He had tn
courage, but he lacked the strategy
quality, and once more he found him
self an emotional wanderer upon tn
face Of the cold. repellent earth.

THE SWEATER.
A Curious Funeral Rite Which Obtained
In Wales.

A Curious Funeral Rite Which Obtained
In Wales.
The principally of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the "sin-eater." 1t was the
practice for = relative-usually WON
an-to put on the breast of deceased
person q quantity of bread and cheese
and beer, and the sin-eater was sent for
to consume them and to pronounce the
everlasting rest of the departed. TWAS
believed that in doing this he absolutely
ate and appropriated to himself the sins
symbolized by the viands, and thereby
prevented their disturbing the repose OF
the sinner who had committed them.
Such an arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side. but how it worked on the other we
are not told. What was supposed to be
the condition of this spiritual under
taker otter the ceremony was con-
cluded? Did his appropriation" of the
dead mans sins imply sort OF moral as
sanitation of them, answering to ms
physical assimilation of the bread and
cheese? The question would obviously
be one of some importance to sin-eater
in large practice. If the responsible
ties of his profession were as great as
ties of his profession were as great as
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early, and to devote a consider
able portion of his closing years to re-
pentance and good works.
Again, it il natural to ask what hap
pened at the decease of q popular or
fashionable sin-eater. Would any
one among his professional brethren
undertake to eat his sins, even in the
first flush of satisfaction produced by
stepping into his shoes? If so, then
indeed, has the epithet of gallant
been rightly bestowed upon little Wales
It is as though one doctor succeeding to
.another's practice should consent to as
sumo the moral responsibility for his
late colleagues treatment of all his de-
ceased patients, in addition to his OWE
similar burdens.
We yield to none in admiration of the
quiet and homely heroism OF the medi
cal profession, but we doubt whether II
would enable them to face such an or
deal as this. AS to the Welsh practi
tioners to whom we have compared
them; we shrink from pursuing the an
alysis further. It is evident that. as IL
the schoolboy game of "conquerors,
where a stone which can smash tn
smasher, of, say, AZ other stones take
over all its conquests, and becomes it
self q "forty-fourer," SO the responsible
tiles of these unhappy men might &C
|, cumulate at an alarming rate. On
hardly dares to contemplate the inter
nal condition Of the sin-eater who had
life attended . long series of other sir
, eaters. The cheese would be aimos

| I'm America it has been observed
that bees often bore tubular corollas In
order to get at the nectar of flowers, in
stead of entering by the mouth, as
humblebees do in Europe. In essays on
the standardization of flowers, this

of much comment. It now appears that
the humblebees of Europe and America
have identical habits in regard to the
manner in which visits to flowers are
made, and that it is the class of insects
known as the carpenter bee. or the
borer, which works in the outside man

She looked up, but made 80 answer,
and after a minute he smiled more
blandly and continued:
"You are an awfully nice little girl,
and l wish I had some candy for you.
Is that your brother?"
"Say, mister" called the boy as he
leaned forward, 'you don't know much

The position taken by the Plat ma
chine in New York. in antagonizing
the nomination and candidacy of Seth
Low, on no other grounds than that
of national party politics requiring the
machine to put a candidate in the field,
is likely to bear fruit. Mr.. Low has
hosts of friends among the Republic
cans of the state, and there is an or
ganized effort to put Citizen Union
tickets in every Assembly district in
the state and fight the Plat candi-
dates for the legislature. This may or
may not insure the return of an anti
Plyatt Republican General Assembly at
Albany, but it will insure either that
or a Democratic Assembly, in which
case Mr.. Plat will find himself out
side the breastworks, with state op-
posed to him politically. New York is
by no means certainly Republican, and
If the anti machine Republicans are
thoroughly organized and backed up
IN their opposition by such men as
Low and Strong they will make Platt
sick OF his Interference in the munich
