A Cats Pathetic Suicide.

While Superintendent Daubney, of
the Western New York and Penusyl-
vania Railway, was on his tour Of in
spection of the road in his private car,
near Nunda, N. Y, he heard screams
above the roaring of the train. The
superintendent signalled the train to
stop aud made an Investigation.
On one side of the track lay one
half of little black dog, and on the
other side of the track lay the other
half. Sitting on the bank near by, and
making the most pitiful wailing was o
large maltese cat. The cat gave every
sign of genuino grief, and showed al
inclination to fight when any one dis
turbed the remains of the dog, SO the
cat was left alone to its grief, and the
train departed.
Following the superintendent's
special was regular train No. 212, and
but. ten minutes apart. The two trains
passed at siding along the line and
on the pilot of the engine, resting on

the cat headless. The train was
stopped ut the next station, where the
engineer reported that few miles
back the cat deliberately walked Oh
the track in front of the train and threw
itself at the engine. The cat and dog
were playmatcs, and belonged to a
nearby farmhouse. York World.

The First United States Volunteer

The First United States Volunteer
Cavalry, rs the troop OF ropgh b riders
is termed on the muster roll, is made
up of picked men. 1t is not COM
posed entirely of cowboys, or of
rough riders," or OF fox hunters, or
of heavy "swells. Men of oil classes
who fill the requirements have been
enrolled. These requirements are
perfect physical condition, skill in the
saddle and at workmanship, and fa-
miliarity with rifle and revolver. Not
many cowboys are in the ranks.
Ranch owners, superintendents and
foremen, hunters, guides and many of
the storekeepers and traders of the
Territories comprise the greater part
of the regiment. From the East have
come about fifty adventurous spirits,
most of whom are college graduates
and athletes. Some zee men who
have seen the rough side of life in diff
ferent parts of the world, and who can
feel as much at homo eating fried
bacon scraps, with rubber blanket
for O seat and without q "boiled
shirt" in the tent, as when discussing
metropolitan dinner at Sherry's or a
supper at the Union League Club, in
New York. Others are. new to West
ern life. These include polo, football
aud baseball experts, thoroughbred
horsemen and golfers. They are up
to-date Americans-many of them, like
Roosevelt, wealthy, and more than
one a millionaire. Some of the best
known are Craig Wadsworth, noted
crosse country rider; Hamilton Fish,
yr., polo player; William TIT
fany, New York society lead
er; Horace Devereux, the pride
of Princeton's football team; and
Ronalds, Yale's great half-back.
A number of Chicagoans, prominent
insocial and athletic circles, are also
enrolled as troopers. The others may
be called plainsmen, coming from q

The Volcano of the South.

1t seems probable that we shall,
within a few years, learn something
more about the wonderful volcano,
12, 900 feet high, which Sir James Ross
saw, half century ago, ,discharging
fame and smoke amidst the vast snow
and ice-felds of Victoria Land. at
the Antarctic Conference of the Royal
Society in London, last February, the
desirability of a thorough scientific
exploration of the South Polar regions
was strongly urged, and still later the
German Antarctic Expedition Commit
tee at Leipsic unanimously resolvedto
advocate the sending .of ship toward
the South Pole to explore Victoria

Carvings in n New Material.

Something entirely new in the way
of carving has been introduced. 1t is
done upon leather and has an appear
ance of fine etching with the effect of
heavy embroidery. Special tools are
used; some of these are sharp-pointed
and long, while others arc short and
dull and still others have bread blades.
An awl is also numbered among these
utensils. This is for boring holes in
representing the centres of plants or a
stipple effect of shading.
It is claimed that any one having o
little artistic sense can take up this
work. All sorts OF things may be made.
from belts and cardcases to soft GUS
HONS and chair backs. The leather
used is q soft yellow, and has an ex-
tremely hard finish, so that every
stroke O. scratch tells. AS yet this
art is little known, but is much liked
by those familiar with it.

The Hammock in War.

The only difficulty about the use of
the hammock by an army is in regard
to it's supports, and this one difficulty
is not half so serious as 1t may seem.
With supply of hammocks available,
American soldiers who have not suffi-
cient "gumption" to find or to pro-
vide supports for them are not fit to
send to Cuba to make war. With an
article so vitally important to the
health of the soldier as is q good ham
mock, properly hung, the question OF
supports--whether it be trees, light
wooden tripods, or stakes of metal
pipe or of woods one which must
be settled for each body of troops, ac-
cording to the conditions to be met.
In garrison or in permanent camp it is
o simple matter. On the march,
through treeless country, something
of wood, light enough to transport,
must be provided. 1t is fair to assume
that in all the thousands of American
soldiers who will land in Cuba, there
will be very few so lacking in ingenu-
ity and resources that they will sleep
on the ground because they can
neither find nor make supports for
their hammocks.-New York Sun.
