The Cat and the Lizard.

We have all heard Of the odd power
lizard has of throwing off his tail
when frightened or excited. We wit
messed q curious instance of this when
sitting at tea on the fowery terrace of
one Of 8. Remo's pretty villas. The
cat of the house appeared, returning
from a hunting excursion, with o
still wriggling lizard hanging from
her mouth, and the cats mistress at
once made q humane effort to rescue
it, with this success, that the lizard
was next seen running away to q
neighboring tree, but without its tail.
Then q queer scene occurred. The
ownerless tail, still retaining its vital
ity, spun round and round upon the
tagged terrace, at intervals executing
a f1imble skip up into the air, while
the cat, disappointed of her original
prey, returned to play with it as she
would have done with a mouse. She
sat down to watch the pranks of the
playful tail, occasionally giving it Q
gentle pat with her paw, or starting
back as It made one Of its higher skips,
as II half afraid of the uncanny power
of the thing, which was now neither
animal nor really alive. Finally, as
the mechanical vitality died out grad
ually, the cat swallowed the tail and
returned to the tree to look for its
owner, which, let us hope. she did

The Mystery of the Barometer.

That the. barometer should be so
important factor in indicating me-
neurological conditions is to many an
unsolved mystery. There should,
however, be no difficulty in under
standing that the simple principle
underlying the construction is that
the free and unfettered air balances o
column of mercury varying in height
according to the circumstances of the
moment, whose average elevation at
the level of the sea is thirty inches.
1t is known, because directly ascer-
tainvble, that thirty cubic inches Of
mercury weigh close upon fifteen
pounds avoirdupois, and, therefore,
as commonly expressed, the pressure
of the atmosphere is, under normal
conditions, fifteen pounds to every
square inch-equivalent to nearly q
ton on a square yard, and of 100 tons
on square of ten and quarter feet
side. Scientific calculation also places
the aggregate weight of the atmos-
pheric envelope surrounding the world
at about five trillions of tons, and this
may be represented as the weight of
solid leaden ball having diameter of
sixty miles. Such figures, says o
writer in Longman's Magazine, are
really beyond human comprehension.

He Made q Sale.

He was very small boy and very
ragged, but there was look in his eyes
of shrewd intelligence beyond his
years. His left hand he held behind
his back, but bis right was extended,
and between two grimy fingers he held
a half-smoked stump Of cigarette.
He had his eye on a well-dressed man
who was walking jauntily along the
street swinging his cane.
Say, mister" said the boy, gimme
match, will yer, please"
The man stopped geod-naturedly and
smiled when he saw the dirty cigarette
stump. He made a pretence Of search
ing his pockets for match, and finally
said:
II haven't one bub."
The boy hastily slipped the stump
into his pocket, and withdrawing his
left hand from behind his back dis
played a large box containing an as
sortment of small boxes.

he, "now's a good time for yer ter

Inscriptions and Errors.

Sculptors of public statues are re-
quested to be more particular about
their spelling of notices and things
before their models are cast at the
foundry. Now it is discovered that
the Beethoven statue in Lincoln Park,
Chicago, not only has two German
words misspelled, but, what is worse
yet, nine of the sixteen notes of the
lode to JOY" are mistakes. This is
rough on Chicago's musical and intel
lectual aspirations. AS to Beethoven,
poor chap, he is SO used to being NAL
treated by music scholars, such a
trihe as that won't disturb his repose.

Humorous Signs.

Of unwittingly ludicrous or humor-
Gus signs there are plenty. A tin
smith near Exeter, England, has sign
which reads, "Quart measures of all
shapes and sizes sold here" At q
market-town in Rutlandshire the fol-
lowing placard was affixed to the shut
tiers of matchmaker who had decamp-
ed, leaving his creditors mourning:
"Wound up and the handspring
broke" Equally opposite was one in
Thomaston, Ga. On one of the
principal streets the same room
was occupied by a physician and q
shoemaker, the disciple of Galen in
front while he of st. Crispin's trade
worked in the rear. Over the door
hung the sign ''We repair both sole
and body" On the windows of q
London coffee-room there appeared the
notice: "This coffee-room removed up
stairs till repaired" The proprietor
of the place was not an Irishman,
though the Trainer of the notice over
the entrance to a French burying-
ground, "Only the dead who live in
the parish are buried here" must
have been. One may see in the win
dows of a confectioner in Fourth
avenue, New York, "Pies Open All
Night" A Bowery placard reads,
''Home-Made Dining Rooms, Family
Oysters" while a West Broadway
restaurateur sells Homemade Pies,
Pastry, and Oysters, "and still another
caterer, on East Broadway, retails
"Fresh Salt Oysters" and Larger
Beer" "Boots Polished Inside" is q
frequent sign in New York, and on
Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, there is a
Stationary Library" the latter is
really circulating library, and the
word Stationary" adorns one window,
and Library" the other. Philadel-
phia has sign reading "Ho Made
Pies!" and barber shop in the same
city bears this inscription on its win
dow, "G Washington Smith, tonsor-
ial abattoir. "-Demorest's Magazine.

million of inhabitants. Great cities
could not endure then. First, the
people could not be fed, for most of
the population had to be fed and food
produced within twenty miles of the
place of consumption. but science has
now made it possible to transport food
half way around the globe, and has
discovered new methods of preserva-
ton as well. Nor was city popula-
ton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS died off,
the death rate was continually high,
and from time to time there were the
ravages of pestilence; and even where
there were sewers they were to drain
the ground of water rather than to
carry away sewage.
One of the surest indications of adj
vance of civilization of to-day is the
interest in and care of children, conf
pared with that bestowed upon them
in the last century. Books written
especially for children are decidedly
a modern institution. The first Sun
day-school was founded only a little
over one hundred years ago, but it
was not until many years later that
Sunday-schools became accepted insti-
buttons and allies of the church in
England and America. The common
school system, with it's aim to provide
a free elementary education for oil, is
in its full development the work of
the present century. while the trade
schools are entirely growth of recent
years. The children are being cared
for as never before. Their morals,
their health, their education and now
their amusement are made matters of
public concern. It is only within
comparatively few years that people
have begun to realize that children's
Fairgrounds are public need which
should be provided. It is not yet
fully recognized that the providing of
such grounds is legitimate charge
upon the public treasury, but that will
come.

Rich Men In Kanshs.

There are no rich men, says William
Allen White in the August Atlantic, In
these KANSAS towns. The men who
own a million dollars worth of proper
ty number less than half score in the
whole State. Those who control half
million dollars worth of property
might ride together in sleeping-car,
with an upper berth or two to spare.
Every town has its rich man, measured
by q local standard, who Is frequently
retired farmer turned banker; but
not one ii five of these Is rated at
300, 900. Yet each Is the autocrat of
his county il. he cares to be. The
handspring that moves the towns
1aily machinery may be found in the
back room Of the bank. There it Is
decided whether or not the bonds shall
be voted. There it is often determined
whether there shall be eight or nine
months of school. There the village
chronicles are spread upon the great
edgers every day. The town banker
supplies the money for every contest.
If he is wise, he watches his little cor
aer of the world as spider watches
from his web. The great trust which
1e keeps requires knowledge of the
letails Of the game that men are play
ng around him. Yet with all his power
his town banker would be counted
ooor man in the city. Seldom is his
annual income as much as $40, 900.
But he lives in the best house in the
own. The butcher saves his best cuts
or him, the grocer puts aside his best
vegetables, and the whole town waits
20 do his bidding.-William Allen
White, In the Atlantic.

The Queerest of All Models.

La grippe, that Russian bugbear
which has made things interesting for
the doctors and uncomfortable for hui
manity during the past three or four
years, is more dreaded for its conse-
quences than its original attack, re-
marks the st. Louis Republic.
This year, while the grip was not as
malignant as In years gone by, the
aftermath was often serious for those
attacked with it. 1t seems to have
weakened the larynx in many cases.
leaving behind swelling of the vocal
cords and an Inflammation of the
larynx itself. Local treatment is
necessary in that case, and that means
the insertion of larynx mirror to e1-
anime and treat the diseased parts.
Now. it is just here where the diff
Guilty comes In. Few persons can
stand the introduction of the laryneo-
scope, and physicians have to train
them to it gradually. A prominent
local physician and surgeon said the
other day that when he practiced at
Vienna in the hospitals and clinics the
students relied for a study of the
larynx upon larynx model. This
was woman, who had so trained her
throat to the insertion of the laryngo-
scope that she could stand it for hours
at time. She was in great demand,
going from clinic to clinic, and offer
ing her services to the students and
practicing physicians.
This might prove a lucrative voca-
ton for q woman in these parts of the
country. Plenty Of nerve and patience
should train her to be capable of hold
ing her mouth open with the laryngo-
scope sticking In her throat.

mot Worth a Rush,

When calling anything mot WORT, a
straw" one means to imply that it is
worthless. The older saying was, mot
worth rush." and this brings out the
origin Of the phrase. In the days be-
fore carpets It was the custom to strew
the floor with rushes. When guests of
rank were entertained fresh rushes
were spread for them; but folk Of lower
degree had to be content with rushes
that had already been used, while still
humber persons had none, as not even
being worth rush"

The Plague In Foochow.

The Shenpao states that the bubonis
plague in Foochow this year is much
worse than what was experienced in
that city last year, when between TO-
600 and $4,000 persons died from it.
The same paper concludes from the &C.
counts it has been receiving from time
TO time since last March that the VIC
Tins of the plague in Foochow this
year will not fall far short Of 10000.
The natives of Foochow call the plague
"the rat epidemic, probably owing to
these rodents being first attacked by it.

New Use For the Sand Blast.

The sand blast has frequently been
adapted to number of ingenious op-
erations, and the latest phase of its
utility is in the cleansing of ships bot
toms. The Atlanta, one of the United
States men -of-war, was recently dry
locked and by means of compressed
air sand was forced against the sides
of the vessel, cleansing and polishing
the iron and steel as bright as silver.
