puss's Table Manners,

This remarkable story of a cat Is told
by member of the London Geological
Society: | once had a cat which al
ways sat up to the dinner table with
me, and had his napkin around his
neck and his plate and some fish. He
used his paw. of course, but he was
very particular, and behaved with ex-
traordinary decorum. When he had
finished his fish | sometimes gave him
a piece of mine.
One day he was not to be found
when the dinner bell rang, so we be-
gan without him. Just as the plates
were put around, puss came rushing
upstairs and sprang into his chair with
two mice in his mouth. Before he
could be stopped, he dropped mouse
on his own plate and then one on
mine. He had divided his dinner with
me as l had often divided mine with
him,

MR.. NIELDS
WINS A POINT
Court Holds That Record
is the Proof of Pris=
Oner's Reputation.

Oyer and Terminer Court this morning
was occupied by argument on the matter
raised In the Fisher case yesterday after
noon as to whether Fisher was compelled
to answer the States question if:he had
ever been convicted for breaking.
Mr.. Nields for the defense, spoke briefly
in support of his contention Of vest erday
afternoon and was followed by Mr.. Cooper
who submitted half dozen authorities In
support OF his contention that he should
have an answer in order that he might dis
credit tho witness.
The argument brought decision from
the court In Mr.. Nields' favor. The dc els.
ion marked the birth of q new rule In the
court. Heretofore similar questions have
been asked and answered by prisoners
without any objection, but the fact that
the Court record is bettor testimony than
verbal testimony, as Mr.. Nields contended
and which the court upheld, insures pro.
cess IN that manner hereafter
The question occupied the Court until
IL 80 o'clock. Before adjournment Fisher
said he enter ed the house for the purpose
of robbery. Argument will be made be-
fore the jury this afternoon.

Sweetest Love Story in Literature,

wherever Mrs. Browning trod, what
ever she touched, because endowed with
the sacredness of her presence" wri os
Clifford Toward OF Robert and Elizabeth
Barrett Browning in the Juno Ladies'
Home Journal. "When MIR. Browning
returned with her on visit to England,
after an absence of several years, he re-
paired to the little church in which they
had been married, and there, at the en-.
trance, no reverently kneeled and kissed
the paving. stonos upon which she, tho
light of his being, had stepped. And in
after years, when the light had gone from
his life. he sought this sacred spot on the
twelfth OF each September, and in the dusk
OF the evening shadows passers.by might
have seen white-haireG man kneeling
for moment as If in prayer before the
doorway of the dark and silent church.
Yet little wCuldithey have thought to rocog
nize in this man the poet Browning: be
whose mystical writings had led tho world
to regard him ms a man OF austerc nature.

Adjutant John NJ. Rankin and the chap
lain OF the Second Regiment, Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, encamped here.
The soldiers here badly need the equip

much grumbling is heard. Tho rain has
left the camp 10 miserable condition and
tho men are all wishing for clear weather.
The surgeons equipments arrived to-day.
The officer of the day was Captain Wil-
liams, Of Company D.
The usual guard mount took place In
the afternoon, Toward evening the big
rifles In The DUPONT yards were fired to
test powder. and their roar reyerberated
through the encampnents.
Major Grugan of Battery NJ says he has
received no instructions as to the depart
ure or the battery, or where 1t will be as.
signed. He says he does not permit such
q question to keep him In state of un.
certainty. The men, however, take the
matter In different light. They know
they are relieved from duty. and they are
under orders not to loave the camp for any
great time, for fear that orders for a hasty
leave would arrive during thoir absence
They are willing to 60 wherever sent,
but they desire to know what their duty
will be. q: =. -.

Before the feast Of the passover, Judas

Think OF great state appropriating
100000 for the sole purpose of getting
rid Of a certain family of moths! This
is what the state of Massachusetts has
done, and the gypsy moth is the ex-
penslve insect which the state board
of agriculture seeks to drive out. The
creatures have proved such pest that
it has been found necessary to employ
hundreds of men to do nothing but
destroy the insects, their eggs, their
larva and their pupa. 1t is estimated
that 100000 will be expended in this
way before the work OF determination
is completed.

where BAIT Is Found.

the boys are always digging for bait,
and If they are not posted they NAV
find their search fruitless, or, baitless,
rather.
Angle worms may be found in any
moist, mucky soil, where sod or trees
or bushes are growing, but you must
dig around the roots, the banks of a
river or lake being capital places for
the search
Best to capture frogs, search for
them in the marsh grass not far from
grassy ponds; but hunt early in the
morning or at dusk in the evening.
when the dew is heavy.
You can usually find crayhsh in CLAW
soil that is moist. where they dig holes
resembling snake holes, and can be
tempted out by chunk of raw meat,
which you may tie to long piece of
string and drop into the hole. When
you feel tug at the string, slowly pull
the meat out and the crab will follow.
Fat white grubs, the best of all
spring bait, may be found In quantities
in decayed logs and stumps, or in that
portion of the barnyard compost pile
which lies next to the side of the barn.
