A few years ago the forum of Traj jan
was used as a depositing place for cats
which were not wanted, but as it does
not present the same facilities of retreat
and hiding as the forum of Augustus
street boys and others took every OPP
portunity of stoning the unfortunate
animals. Finally the authorities, after
many complaints, refused to allow any
more cats to be thrown there, and in or
der to get rid of those already living in
the forum presented one to each sentry
box on the walls of the city They all,
however, speedily disappeared from
their new homes, some returning to the
foot of Trajan's column, where they
were either killed by the street boys or
transferred to the forum of Augustus,
while others, it was whispered We're
sold by the sentries for a few confines
to enterprising young medical students
in search of subjects for dissection. -

A mans past record, with but few
ton of his eligibility for credit in the
future. If he has been slow pay in the
past, he will probably be slow pay in
his next purchases. If he has been
prompt and satisfactory he will likely
be the same again. AS an instance
might mention a case which recently
came under my notice. A trader who
had gradually got to be slow and un'sat
isfactory was compelled to assign. His
failure was not due to any misfortune,
such as fire or food, but seemed the
natural consequence of his Incompetence
and lack Of management. A wholesale
house which had been supplying him
lost heavily, but compromised, and as
be continued they still sold him, but on
80 days time For awhile he promptly
attended to his payments, but after a
time he got slower and slower and as
he was liberal buyer and his purchases
were allowed to accumulate he soon

would warrant AS this dragged along

chung to his old creditor and again or
dered goods, promising to send the
money within 80 days. But his past
record was too much even for so lenient
q creditor. He was told plainly that he
would get no more goods on credit and
that if he ordered anything cash must
accompany the order in every case.
Now, a man of this stamp is positive
detriment to man who pays his bills.
After thus being refused credit by the
old house he will try and get it else
where and no doubt will succeed. But
If his record is known it should be a
final answer to the question of granting
him credit Hardware

On the verge of insanity, Miss Hattie

Ing young woman, not yet eighteen years
old, is so great that when she reappeared
in public her friends cou1d hardly believe
the evidence that their eyes clearly showed

Miss Kiog became greatly weakened
by a complication of physical troubles,
and was looked upon by her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.
Her stepfather, Charles M. Burnett, tells
OF her strange cure as follows:
Hattie first complained Of dizziness,
which steadily grew worse.
"She suffered with nausea and attacks
Of vomiting; could keep but little on her
stomach.
Kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when drop was
drawn by the prick of needle, was al
most as colorless as water.
Her heart was affected. She would
frequently faint from the slight exertion OF
rising from bed or from chair.
"She eoughed continually, so that her
friends feared she was consumptive.

fined to her bed for two or three weeks at

A Great PolyRlor.

- Solomon Caesar Malan habitually
conversed with his children in Latin,
but on his deathbed, when Solomon,
his son, began to recite psalm in the
familiar Vulgate of his youth, the dy-
ing man, scholar to the last, muttered,
"Non tia, non tia Hebraice;' so the
son repeated it in Hebrew.
He could, for that matter, just az
we'll have said it in Coptic or Chinese.
for to him all tongues came naturally.
At IS he could write in 13 languages
oriental and European, and among his
published works we find translations
from the Arabic, Persian, Syriac, Ethi-
opic, Hebrew, Coptio, Armenian, Geor-
gian, Mongol, Chinese, Korean, Japa-

At the beginning of the eighteenth
century soldier belonging to one Of
the French garrisons in India became
enamored of the eyes of Brahma in the
temple of Serringham. These eyes were
diamonds, more brilliant than ever
shone under the eyebrows Of Crapaud $
European divinities. Their luster cap
tivated his soul. He haunted the tenn
pie and, yielding to the might of the
god. became convert to his worship.
At least so he persuaded the priests,
who went so far as to admit him to
some care of the temple, doubtless
trusting Brahma to protect his own.
But on a stormy night the convert dis
appeared, and with him one of the
idols eyes, the other having resisted
all his efforts to dislodge it. So Brahma
was left squirting, and the perfidious
Frenohman sold his prize to a captain
In the English navy for about $40, 600.
Later it was bought by the Armenian
merchant Schaffras for more than five
times this sum and shown by him to

Lord Byron, in his reported converse
tions with the Countess of Blessington,
remarked to her that medical men do
not sufficiently attend to idiosyncrasies
on which so much depends, and often
hurry to the grave one patient by a
treatment that has succeeded in anoth-
or. The moment they ascertain a dis
ease to be the same as one they have
known they conclude the same remedies
that cured the first must remove those
of the second, not making allowances
for the pecuiarities Of temperament
habits and disposition, which last has a
great influence on maladies. ;" These re-
marks are simple exaggerations of feel
ing and fact Byron was no more enam-
ored of the medical profession than he
was of professors OF divinity, but he
was an acute observer, and it was inter
esting to read his views respecting
idiosyncrasies He judged rightly, very
rightly, of their Importance in connec-
ton with the practice of medicine. -

Weapons Carried by Foreign Miners.


In The Century there are several pa
pers devoted to the Pennsylvania coal
regions Henry Edward Rood writes of
"a Polyglot Community. E" He says
concerning the foreign miners:
The first purchase made by Slovak or
Polack is a revolver, by Italian or Sicil-
ian stiletto; then the newcomer buys
a silver watch, and after that is secured
he begins to save money. If the Slowak
or Polack is particularly thrifty, he
postpones purchasing revolver for sew
eral months and carries in one pocket
a round, hard stone, large enough to
crush mans skull, and in another a
piece of iron filched from the colliery
scrap heap. The Italian or Sicilian too
poor or too penurious to afford stiletto
buys, begs or steals a long nile and sits
down in his shanty or by the roadside,
with two or three stones and grinds it
to keen edge and needlelike point.
Then he fastens the blunt end in a corn
cob and has ready for use a weapon of
no mean possibilities. Once armed how
ever, aud provided with watch the
foreigner manages to live at total ex-
pense of about 80 month-and this
may be regarded as liberal estimate in
most instances. The remainder of his
wages is saved toward the purchase of
vineyard or a farm in the old country,
whittier almost all expect to return and
spend their lives.

She grew quite white. What could
have happened while she slept to MAKE
his manner so cold and distant? 1t was
as il wall of ice had suddenly risen
between them. She knew instinctiyely
that all was over,
All night, after he had seen her safe
ly to her cabin, the doctor paced to aud
fro on the windy deck. How could he
ask her to be his wife? She would con.
sent, of course She could not do other
wise, sweet soul And he would absorb
the flower of her life into the worldly
chaos of his. He would control the in
most sanctuary of her mind; her
thoughts would flow as he directed, and
as he ordained so would her emotions
rise. Apart from the horror of this con-
troll of the lower over the higher, of his
imperfect nature over her pure and per
feet one, he, on his side, would have
for wife little better than doll, II
machine that responded to his wire
pulling without other impulse or law.
1t must never, never be.
About 6 O'Clock Emily came ON deck.
She could not sleep and desired the sane
influence of early morning. The steamer
passed slowly along the river banks,
and there was glamour on land aud
water. She saw him pacing up and
down, up and down. but at first he did
not perceive her. 1t was the end of her
dream, the end of her hope, but the
light of it still lingered--were they not
isolated together on the shimmtTing
deck? The last moment should be dear
in memory, undimmed by the darkness
which lay so close ahead.
He did not come up to her till they
were nearly at Rotterdam. Her eyes
looked unusually large, the pale, pure
outline of her face thinner than its
wont. Already the strain of his power
was beginning to tell upon her. They
talked constrainedly on Indifferent sub
jeots till they reached the quay.

A SNOWY DAY.

Thermometer at twenty-hood and field
Are treble locked and pVtritiod by frost.
Fair natures lovely face is half concealed
And all her rich variety is lost
Beneath a spotless veil of virgin white.
The clouds are densely blnck, the wind
nor east
And wonder schoolboy's shouts are heard a
mile
The idle pillow stands on the upland height
Frost bound immovably, and man and beast
Suspend the industry Of daily toll.
Come forth and breathe the crisp and bracing
air
Till mind and body thrill with genial glow.
Some forth and see and seeing tell how fair
The beautiful monotony Of snow.
