WASHINGTON WIDOWS.
They Persist in bringing Number
One to the Front ON Every
Occasion.

/ like gratitude / like to hear of CRATE
full people, and an anecdote heard recent
ly of one Washington man has pleased me
immensely. He has recently married the
widow Of very wealthy gentleman, and
on the proceeds of the transaction he has
built handsome house. When the house
was finished and the moving into it was &C.
complished, the wife and her mother fell to
discussing just where they should hang the
portrait of the former husband. They had just
decided to hang it in small room on the
second floor, when the new husband came
In and heard of the matter.
Hang him upstairs!" he said. mo,
stree. No, stree That man was my bene-
factor. lowe everything ! have to him. He
shall hang in the place of honor.
And husband No. / now smiles down
from the mantel Of the drawing-room.
But that makes me think Of another
Washington widow who has recently be-
slowed herself and her belongings on Sec
ond husband.
"It's SO Fortunate" said she to me; "my
first husbands last name began with w,
you know, and SO does my second hus.
bands first name. All Mr.. WIS handker.
chiefs are just the thing for Willie, and
haven't even had to have the initial on them
changed. "-Washington Post.

Music as a Cure for Neuralgia.

Long-drawn arpeggio chords on the
pianoforte have been found efficacious
as a panacea for neuralgia in the case
of William +. Gladstone. Music alone
relieves him, it is said, of the intense
ayonies he suffers, and in order to at
ford him relief a young lady, who is
staying with Lady Clara Spencer, comes
in daily and produces weird chords that
prove completely consolatory to the
grand old man. In some cases, 1t Is
to be feared, the discourse Of long
drawn arpeggios would prove worse
remedy than the disease, but, after all
the music cure is no new thing, and
any method by which the wonderful
ola statesman can get relief must be
eagerly welcomed by his friends.--Chi.

ADOPTION OF THE CAT.
When 1t Was Introduced to Human
society In q Mystery.

1t is impossible to trace the origin OF
the domestic cat with certainty to any
existing species or variety of wildcat.
Indeed. the time at which the cat was
first domesticated and introduced to
human society is simply matter of
conjecture. Prof. Shaler expresses the
opinion that the domestication of the
cat must have been much later than
that of the dog. while naturalists give
reasons for believing to the contrary.
Some people agree with Prof. Shaler,
and for. this reason: That dogs were
probably first domesticated in order to
assist in hunting, ana therefore, prob
ably in what is called the hunting age
of human society. whereas the cat has
nowhere been generally used as u hunt
ing animal. The dog is essentially gre
garicus; he loves to hunt in packs, and
when introduced to a human family, he
regards the family as his pack and
hunts accordingly, so that he is easily
made serviceable by the human hunt
er. The eat. on the contrary, is I'M
social: it lives alone and hunts alone,
so that it cannot be expected to be cas-
lily trained to hunt, either with men or
for men. In fact, the only member OF
the cat family that has been known
to have been trained to hunt is the
cheetah, though an ancient Egyptian
painting, which may be seen in the Brit
ish museum, represents cat which is
apparently assisting hunter to catch
| birds.
There is another reason for thinking
| that the cat must have been adopted
by man after the hunting age, namely,
the cats wonderful attachment to To-
calities Animals like the wolf, with
which the dog is most closely allied,
follow their prey over vast tracts of
country, and seem entirely destitute
| of local attachment. The wildcat, on
the contrary, settles down in particu-
lar spot and waits for it's prey to come.
When removed from its accustomed
habitat it seems to lose its skill, and
therefore would be useless to man in
hunting age. because in that age
men seldom had fixed habitatiOns, but
roamed abroad, where game was to be
found. OF course, much of this is con-
I lecture. Whether the cat or the dog
was first adopted by man cannot now
be certainly known, but the cat was
well known as a domestic animal al
