SLAUGHTER OF FEliNES.
Medical Students Are ON . Still Hunt 10
Cats to he Diss scted.

Medical Students Are ON = Still Hunt for
Cats to he Diss scted.
At this period of the year each oil
the medical students in Chicago is re-
quired to dissect an animal and mount
it's skeleton. The animal preferred is .s
cat. There are some 200 medical stu
dents in Chicago IN their first year, ami
each of them is instructed to keep hi.
eye open for a cat, and they have been
rrowling down alleys in search of fe-
lines, and perhaps half of them have
been lucky enough to be successful in
their search.
1t is not an easy thing to find cat
when you want cne. Ordinary mortals
see plenty of them as they squal!
through the night outside of their win-
tiows. But it is different with the med
ical student. When he wants a cat he
finds it very difficult to get one, anil
therefore he is forced to make very
thorough hunt before bogging his
game. On this account the medica!
student finds it better to make the resi-
dence districts his hunting grounds,
where he may be able to catch some
very tame feline who has wandered
from its house and home to sun itself on
the steps.
The stray cats are much harder to
capture, because they are not as tame
and have been taught by sad experience.
to regard all men as their enemies. The
pet tabby is less suspicious and falls ali
easy prey to the medical student when
she wanders from her own firesida.
Hence it is the most of the cats which
are being made martyrs to science are
well groomed and high bred. Fully
score of beautiful Angoras and nearly
as many Persian cats have been captured
alive and chloroformed by the students
during a recent week.
There is student at one of the med
ical colleges who has been so success
full in capturing cats that he has been
making business of it and is laying By
q store of money to help pay his ex-
penses through the college. He has a
winsome way of saying PUSSY, pussy"
which few cats seem able to resist, and
as result has caught 16 during a
week. which he has had vefy little diff
fculty in selling to less fortunate hunt
ers of the feline Chicago Times

Told His Storx In Latin,

At the time of the peace jubilee pr.
C. B. Porter, of Boston, returned to his
office one day, and found the slate in
the hall covered with Latin words
anG signed o. w. Holmes. He inme-
diately got down his dictionary, and
with much effort discovered that he
bad been in the peace jubilee, had soiled
his boots SO thoroughly with dirt that
lie did not like to go down town il:
such plight, and had stopped and
asked Mr.. Porter's servant for foot
brush that he might clean up his boots;
and he had dignified this rather me-
nial performance by writing it all out
in Latin and leaving it on the slate

nerrils romping toward him over the
SNOW the inspector got Gurried, missed
with both barrels, flung down his gun
and buried his head in the snow, seek
ing to burrow out of sight. The bear
came on in a great fury. Two of the
soldiers waited until he came to close
quarters and turned him back with !,
volley. They then charged with fixed
bayonets and finished him off in true
military style. They have been re-
warded for their presence of mind in
saving the life of the guardian of the
peace by having their photographs

THE RUNAWAY STAR.
Travelling Through Space at the Rate OF
Two Hu dred Miles a Second.

Travelling Through space at the Rate OF
Two Hu dred Miles Second.
The greatest velocity that has been
recognized among the stars is found in
the motion of Il star known as 1880
Groombridge, or the runaway star, as
it is sometimes called, which is believed
to be rushing through space at the rate
of 200 miles per second. This star ap-
pears to be moving in, a perfectly
straight line through the sky, ard it
may be visiting our star system for
the first time, but whence it comes or
whittier it is going no one can tell and
IL is great enigma to the astronomers.
It's wonderful velocity cannot be ex-
planned, as it is far greater than could
lie produced by the influence of al!
known orbs in the universe, and. on
the other hand, the combined attrac-
ton of all the other stars cannot stop
this wanderer in its solitary fgh.
through space, until it has rushed on
to the remoter distances, beyond which
the largest telescopes have never pene-
trated.
1t has been mathematically demon
strated that n body approaching the
center of our system from an infinite
distance cannot move with greater
velocity than 25 miles a second, if in
fluenced by the attraction Of the masses
in our universe alone, but here we have
been considering star moving with
eight times that velocity and still, not
withstanding the fact that it has the
greatest motion known among the
stars, it would require $4,000 years for
this remarkable star to complete an en-
tire circuit around the heavens.-Chi-

CHANCES OF MARRIAGE.
Things for tho Young Girls and Spinsters
to Ponder Over.

Things for tho Young Girls and Spinsters
to Ponder Over.
What useful knowledge the facts con-
ceming marriage and age constitute
for women who are unmarried! They
clearly indicate to the woman whose
age is from 20 to "a that she shall par
tNularly favor the attention of men
from 90 to "a, or 25 to 30. She had best
pay particular attention to the former,
because the sterner sex marries much
more frequently at that age than after
reaching the age of 25. So a spinster
from 25 to 90 years old has the surest
choice of men aged from 30 to "a and
35 to 80, the former group supplying
the better chance to her.
Out Of every 100 women on the aver
age only SO remain unmarried.
Now, then, how is it as to what may
be called the marriage combinations?
Naturally these are only four in num-
ber-witlows and widowers, bachelors
and maids and vice versa. The fact
shows that IS out of every 100 mar
riages are those of the bachelor and
maid and that the bachelor and the
widow rarely wed. This is by no mean"
to be construed, however, that the
widow is unpopular. On the contrary,
she holds her own with the maids, ap-
parently without difficulty. There is,
in these modern days, apparently as
much cause for taking the advice Of the
elder Mr.. Weller TO heart as ever.-N.

their victims. For breakfast and
