apparatus consists Of q pump, which

by the tree trunk. As soon as the pres.

CATS THAT SEE NO DAYLIGHT

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 mali
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 a study of them. The conse-
quence 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

THE SWEATER.


A Curious Funeral Rite Which Obtained
In Wales.
The principality of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the "sin-eater." 1t was the
practice for q relative-usually WON.
an-to put on the breast of deceased
person 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. Itwas
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 after the ceremony was con-
cluded? Did his appropriation" of the
dead mans sins imply q sort of moral as
sanitation of them, answering to his
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 is natural to ask what hap
pened at the decease of a 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.
1t 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 own
similar burdens.
We yield to none in admiration of The.
quiet and homely heroism of the medi-
cal profession, but we doubt whether 1t
would enable them to face such an or
deal as this. AS to the Welsh practi-
TONERS to whom we have compared
them, we shrink from pursuing the an
alysis further. It is evident that, as in
the schoolboy game of "conquerors,"
where stone which can smash the
of, say, 43 other stones takes
over oil it's conquests, and becomes it.
self "forty-fourer," SO the responsible
tiles OF these unhappy men might ac-
at an alarming rate. One
hardly dares to contemplate the inter-
nal condition of the sin-eater who had in
life attended long series of other sim
eaters. The cheese would be almost
converted into Welsh rabbit before he
nad got it down.-London Times,

The states OF North Carolina, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Arkansas are
peculiarly rich in hard woods, which
also abound throughout the northern
part of the gulf states. All these will
be deliberately displayed, and the re-
suit will be collection Of peculiar at
Effectiveness to the true lover and one
calculated to arouse interest in the
mind of every visitor.
For those who care more for the ap-
plications of natural wealth, the ex-
hibit of forest products will command
attention. In this class the processes
of manufacture are to be everywhere
illustrated. Aside from the many
wares composed of wood, such as
cooperage, basket and bent wares, hol-
loware, ETC., and the product Of the
pine rosin, there are forest industries
peculiar to the south. Among these
may be mentioned moss bedding, made
from the Spanish moss, which grows
in such an abundance on the like oaks,
and the pine fiber, product Of the
leaves of the pine. All these voried
wood manufactures displayed in the
successive stages Of their making, from
the rough material to the finished ar
ticle, will form part of forestry ex-
hibit that will tend to suggest to the
visitor an answer to the oft-repeated
question; "What is done with all the
wood that is cut?"
Aside from these varied collection ex-
hibits, space is being taken by large
concerns so that the commercial aspect
will not be lost in the Forestry building.

In 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 crossfertilization of flowers, this
supposed anomaly has been the subject
of much comment. 1t 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
ner indicated.
The question of the influence of the
size of seeds upon termination and up
on the size of the plants that spring
therefrom has recently been studied
anew by Mr.. b. II. Galloway, a summary
of whose conclusions is given by the
Gardeners Chronicle. The weight and
size of the seed are of great Importance.
large seed terminates better and more
quickly, and with it one can count upon
having ut the same moment from IS to
90 per cent. of the total crop,while with
small seeds the crop reaches maturity
only in successive periods of time, so
that at no moment in gathering the
crop in toto could we have the same
proportion of the whole. Besides,
where with small seeds four successive
crops are obtained, we have six with
large seeds, their evolution occurring
with greater rapidity.

which terminated in a knob got on at
Franklin street and sat down beside a
little girl about five years of age, who
was accompanied by a brother of
twelve. She was sharp-eyed, hand
some child, and after few minutes the
red-nosed man felt his heart warm up
to her and he said:
well, little girl, are you going some-
where?"
She looked up, but made 40 answer,
and after minute he smiled more
blandly and continued:
You are an awfully nice little girl,
and wish l had some candy for you.
Is that your brother?"
Say, mister!" called the boy as he
leaned forward, 'you don't know much

Six passengers on the opposite seat
NIL began to grin at once, and the man
with the nose got up and solemnly and
stiffly marched up the aisle and opened
the door and dropped into a seat in the
next car. He thought he knew ali
