lation of rats and mice Their food
is regulated by ministerial decree ac-
cording to circumstances and at pres
ent there is a regulation in force au-
thorizing an expenditure of 2k cen
times per cat per diem. But this does
not seem enough, al the unfortunate
governmental cats have grown ex-
tremely thin, so at last the ministry
appointed specialists to inquire into
the matter. These have gravely re-
ported that "the cats OF the army are
very slow to accustem themselves to

and never lap up greasy water unless
actually driven thereto by pangs Of
hunger, so that they are dying Oft or

Brush drains are condemned by

to make one properly. A good deal

The bottom of the ditch should I've

laid in all one way. with the tops down
stream. 1t is best TO have il free and
of good size. Make q depth OF brush
ten or twelve inches, well packed in,
and lay on the top a good slab. Put
upon the slab some straw or leaves
from the woods. To prevent the dirt
from working down into fbc brush.
Such a drain will last for years. When
filing up. round the top well. for the
brush will settle more or less. There
Is q method adopted by some which
combines the use Of both poles and
brush. At one side of the drain lot.
tom is laid a pole six inches In diam
eter, then short sticks three inches IN
diameter are laid crosswise, n end
resting upon the pole, the other on The
bottom of the drain. Now long, light
poles are laid lengthwisc and brush

there seemed to be no connection what

continue much longer I'm flower than

Candle-Power.

The candie-power of a light may be
approximately calculated by compar-
ing the shadow cast by a rod in the
light of a standard candle, with the
shadow east by the light to be tested.
BY moving the latter toward or away
from the rod, a point will be reached
at which the shadow cast by both
lights will be Of the same intensity.
The intensities Of the two lights are
directly proportional to the squares OF
their distances from the shadows; for
example, suppose the light to be tested
Ia three times the distance Of the can

Gladstone an Authority on Old China.
Mr.. G~iadstone's interest in the old
china while waiting for his tea at the
village inn at Caergwrie the other day
was not a passing fancy, for he is an
accomplished judge between real and
spurious ware. When on a visit a
year ago he rather disconnected his
hostess by picking up a plate from off
a table and remarking Now that Is
the finest imitation of Grown Derby
ever made. It was made in the year
so and so, and / rather think the clever
fellow who made it finished by getting
twenty years penal servitude" But,
noticing the lady's agitation on dis
covering that what she supposed to be
old crown derby was really only a
copy Of the real thing, Mr.. Gladstone
remarked 1T is much more rare and
curious than the original, ! do assure
you, madam, and quite as excellent"
Another correspondent writes with
reference to the same subject About
~twenty-seven years ago Mr.. Gladstone
called upon a literary friend of mine
in Derbyshire, who had a small col
lection OF china and other wares. After
the business upon which the great
statesman came had been arranged,
the china cupboard was opened and he
examined and valued every single
piece that was in it. Eventually, and
after my poor friends death, the col
lecticn was sold, and the purchaser
bought 1t on the precise valuation by
Mr.. Gladstone" Perhaps this taste of
Mr.. Gfadstone's for old china explains
his interest in Ii Hung Chang.-New
