A Cat That Goes Cycling.

Chicago boasts Of feline oyclist.
He is Dixie Norton, OF 4011 Drexel
Boulevard, and as his mistress, Mrs.
Leland Norton, spins down the boule-
ward he stands erect in O fanciful In
dian basket that hangs from the handle
bar, and watches the sights with all
the eagerness Of a happy child at o
carnival.
"How did Dixie learn to rider
Why" said Mrs. Norton, che was al
ways crazy to go out, and one evening
last summer I picked up his basket
and( held him at arms length while ]
rode aBound the block. After that he
used toperch on my shoulder, but as
his avoirdupois increased, I was
Obliged to swing him from the handle
bar"
The query, Dixie, darling, do you
want to go to rider" is sufficient to
send Dixie bounding with delighted
squeals headforemost into his basket,
where he wriggles and twists until
''heads are up" when he sets up q
piteous howl. When taken from the
wheel his vocalization Is something
terrific, and he frantically clutches
end claws everything in reach. Mrs.
Norton believes he is equal to a hun
dred mile run, and some day gold
century bar may rest on the snow
white breast Of Dixie Norton. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

A Farmers Views.

The farmers real taxes are not those
which lie pays into the town treasury,
but tho most burdensome tax Is the
unnecessary expense which he must
meet wherever he does his work at O
disadvantage. II he insists on cut
ling grass with scythe where q now
ing machine could be used, he is
saxing himself by as much as the in
creased labor, but it doesn't seem like
.axes because IL isn't called by that
name.
If he goes twice to town instead Of
once with given load, his tax Is very
materially increased, but in spite Of
this, he too often objects to paying
put the dollar that might bring him
two In another way. In view OF these
actA it is refreshing to receive letter
pom farmer, who says that he be-
Iieves in the extensive building OF
permanent highways for tho reason
that such means Of communication
would decrease the farmers taxes
rather than increase them.-L. A. w.

Making, Charcoal.

The word charcoal is popularity ap-
piled TO the carbonaceous residue OF
vegetable, animal, or mineral sub
stances, when they have undergone
smothered combustion. Wood char.
coal is made by building up vertically
in two or three rows so as to form q
large conical heap, sticks Of wood cut
as for fuel. This is covered over
with turf or moistened with charcoal
ash, and holes left at the bottom for air
toget in. An open space is also left In
the middle Of the heap to serve as o
hue. The heap is set on fire by put
ting burning wood into the top Of the
central opening. The combustion
proceeds gradually from the top TO
the bottom, and from the center TO the
outside, and as the central portion
burns away, fresh wood is continually
thrown in at the top. so ns TO keep the
heap quite full. The smoke is thich
and white when the process is going
on properly. II it becomes thin, and
especially if blue fame appears, the
wood is burning away too fast anG
the combustion must be checked by
closing the holes at the bottom, or by
heaping fresh ashes on the top anc
sides. As soon as the combustion il
completed the heap is entirely covered
with tnrf or ashes and left to cool foi
two or three days. It is then taker
to pieces and the portions still hot ar'
cooled by throwing water or sand upor
them. The alder, the willow and til,
boxwood are the woods in general US,
for making charcoal.

a Lame Boys Heroism.

We are accustomed to read OF In
dian bravery under the excitement Of
battle, but seldom hear of the ex-
hibition of any noble qualities what
ever on the part of the red man who
lives q dependent lifo among the
whites. An pct of heroism on the part
Of lame little Indian boy in an Ore
gon town is worthy of note, for moro
reasons than one.
On one Of the last days OF last
March, two ladies of The Dalles, Ore
gon, Mrs. Buchler and Mrs. Gossler,
were ont gathering wild flowers. They
were accompanied by little girl whose
name was Belot. On the way home
the party were passing over foot
bridge, across Mill Creek, the waters
Of which were high, when tho little
girl slipped pnd fell into the stream,
and was instantly borne beyond reach
by the current.
The two ladies started to run down
the bank of the stream, hoping for
chance to rescue the child, when their
way was suddenly barred by high
and close barbed-wire fence. They
struggled TO get over it, but failed.
Meantime they called loudly for help.
But there was no one within hearing
except 4 littl6 crippled Indian boy
named JIM Busha. He came hobbling
along on his crutches on the other side
Of the fence. They asked him to go
in search Of help, but when little Jim
saw the child In the stream, and how
necessary it was that yahatever help
was given should be given instantly,
he preferred to supply the help him
self.
He rushed into the whirling water
as far as he could go, and held out his
crutch to the girl. She managed to
seize IT,, and Jim, holding in really
manful way to the footing that he had,
pulled the child near him, took her 10
his arms, and brought her safely to
the shore. :.

volcano as a weather Prophet,

Scientists have recently been inyes.
tigating the belief, now many centuries
old, that the volcano of Stromboli is 0
weather prophet. For two thousand
years the inhabitants Of the Lipari Isl.
ands, between Sicily and Calabria, and
the mariners on the adjacent waters
have looked to the burning mountain
for advance information regarding wind
and weather. BY day the gigantic
plume of vapor by its shape foretold
the coming windj and by night the
glare Of the subterranean fires striking
upward on the clouds gave warming Of
storms that were brewing. DIR. Ber.
CERT, the distinguished scientist, who
has been studying the volcano, accepts
and explains the popular belief. He
says that If moist masses Of air blow
over Stromboli it's plume Of vapor will
be greater and will thus foretell rain.
In the night this larger cloud will re-
fleet greater amount OF light. Thus
the belief that 6tromboli was prophet
is justified by modern science.

ItnIinns in Now York. K.

The census Of 1890 credited New
York with an italian population Of 3d.
951, which has not been reduced In
the last seven years. Mulberry Bend
Park borders on representative
italian quarter. In thatregion italian
signs, italian shops and italian bank
ers abound; italian mothers tend their
children, usually busying themselves
with something else at the same time;
italian laborers, for the moment urN
employed, sit on the benches, or talk
together, usually with some apparent
excitement In groups in the street.
Where there are Italians In numbers
there Is bound to be animation, and
the Mulberry street side Of the Null
berry Bend Park Is one Of the most
animated centres OF New York.
Most OF the Italians In New York
are very poor, and are ill-houssd and
coarsely fed, and have much appar.
emily to lower their spirits. But they
seem never to feel any worse than they
can help. They are industrious and
very frugal, and save money. Some
Of 1t they gamble away, and some 10
stolen from them by swindlers, but q
good deal stays by them. Most Of
them were pinched bypoyerty at home
before they came to New York, and
