Cats of Other DAYS.

The lot of the average nineteenth
century cat does not compare favorably
with that of it's ancestors. rybody
knows that the early Egyptians held
the cat sacred, and any one injuring a
sacred animal was liable to severe pun
ishment. Among the ancient laws of
Wales was statute which prohibited
the slaughter of cat under curious
penalty. The owner of the slaughtered
animal held it by the tip Of the tail,
with its nose touching the floor, and the
slayer had TO give him, by way of COM
pensation, as much wheat as would
bury the entire animal out of sight.
The grain was supposed to represent
the amount that the owner would lose
through the depredations of vermin by
being deprived of the cat.
Saxony, Switzerland and other Eu-
ropean countries also had laws enacted
for the protection of cats, which were
regarded of economic value. Now, how
ever, pussy is simply decorative do
mestic adjunct.

Swapping Telephones.

The following story comes from the
Grand Rapids Press and has to do with
a man and a woman who are employed
in different offices in one of the large
buildings of that city. Each Office has a
telephone, but as il happens one is an
instrument belonging to the Citizens
company, the other Bell instrument.
One day the man had occasion to use
the Citizens line and stepped across the
hall TO the lady's office.
"Have you Citizens phone?'' he
asked, and she replied in the affirmative.
"Well, he ventured: I'm a citizen.
May use it?'
Why. of course he might use it, but
inwardly she was inclined to envy his
ability TO stand up and assert his citi-
zenship in this way, for some of her
womanly propensities were Of the new

The Howell Torpedo.

Commodore John A Howell, who
has just been promoted TO the rank Of
rear admiral, is the inventor of a self
propelling torpedo that differs in sew
eral respects from the Whitehead. The
chief novelty of the American system
relates to the mode of driving the screw.
Whitehead stored compressed air in
a chamber in his torpedo and placed i'll
an adjoining compartment a small en-
gine which should be operated thereby
at the right juncture. Howell employs
a heavy fywheel, which is put in rapid
revolution, just before the torpedo is
launched, by connecting its projecting
axle with a steam engine that is entire
" independent of the torpedo. The
Howell system has been improved since
it was first patented in 1871, and it has
been extensively used in the United
States navy.

Fortunes From Bananas.

Immense fortunes have been made
out of the banana business. Revenues
do not accrue alone from the sale of the
fruit, for the leaves are used for pack
ing; the juice, being strong in tannin,
makes an indelible ink and shoe black
ing the wax found on the underside of
the leaves is valuable article of COM
merce; MANILA hemp is made from the
stems, and of this hemp are made mats,
plated work and lace handkerchiefs Of
the finest texture. Moreover, the banana
is ground into banana -four. The fruit
to be sold for dessert is ripened by the
dry warmth of fiaring gas jets in the
storage places in which it is kept, and
immense care has TO be taken to prevent
softening or overripening. The island
of Jamaica yields great crops of this
useful and money making fruit.

HORSES ACTIONS IN BATTLE
Some Keep Their Heads In the Mad Rusht
Some Lose Them.

A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle. 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck by bullet, are out of their
saddles within minute. If hit in the
breast or shoulder, up go their hands
and they get heavy fall; if in the leg
or foot or arm, they fall forward and
roll off. But even with a foot cut of
by jagged piece of she'll horse will
not drop. It is only when shot through
the head or heart that he comes down.
He may be fatally wounded, but he
hobbies out of the fight TO right or left
and stands with dropping head until
loss of blood brings him down. The
horse that loses his rider and is un-
wounded himself will continue TO run
with his set Of fOurs until some move
ment throws him out. Then he goes
galloping here and there, neighing with
fear and alarm, but will not leave the
field. In his racing about hs may get
among the dead and wounded, but he
will dodge them, if possible, and in
any case leap over them. When he has
come upon three or four other riderless
steeds, they fall in'' and keep together,
as if for mutVal protection, and the
''rally" on the bugle may bring the
whole of them into the ranks in a body
A horse which has passed through
battle unwounded is fretful, sulky and
nervous-the same as a man-fOr the
next three or four days. His first battle
is also the making or unmaking of him
aS a warhorse. If the nervous tension
has been too great, he will become
bolter in the face of danger, and there
by become danger in himself If the
test has not been beyond him, he will

high and flecks of foam blowing from
his mouth as he thunders over the

A Stone That Grows.

A West Gouldsboro (Me. man tells
a queer story about stone that grows
1t is an egg shaped, fiinty looking rock,
which he picked up III a cove near his
home over 30 years ago. Then it
weighed about II pounds and from its
odd shape was kept in the house and on
the doorstep as a curiosity. AS the
years passed the stone increased in size
Six years ago it weighed 40 pounds,
and now it tips the scale at 90 pounds
The owner swears it is the same stone,
and tells a likely story, with numer-
Gus witnesses to back him up.-Ex-

The Wildly Reckless Financial Career Of
Baron Albert Grant.
One of the most dramatic if not ac-
tually one Of the largest failures, so far
as the liabilities were concerned, was
that of Baron Albert Grant of Emma
mine" notoriety. Grant was the un-
crowned king of the financial world Of
his day and generation. He made mil
lions almost as deftly as the late Mr..
Barney Barnato, and he spent them
right royalty. He bought Leicester
the people of London. He gave din
ner to nearly a thousand city magnates
at a cost which was popularity reputed
at the time to have exceeded 100 guineas
a head, and which, in any event, un-
doubtedly established a record in ex-
travagant dinner giving which has yet
to be beaten.
And he started out to build a palace
in Kensington which should "knock
spots off" all other private residences,
past, present or to come. Everything
was got up regardless of expense. The
ballroom walls were inset with panels
of pink Italian marble, costing 500
guineas each. In the entrance hall were
four pillars of pOrphyry, worth e4, 900.
The building was scarcely finished
when the crash came, and it remained
for long a brick and mortar white ele-
phant on the hands of the trustees in
bankruptcy. Eventually most of the in
terror fittings and decorations were dis
posed of piecemeal. The grand staircase,
which had cost TO build some e40, 900,

of the late Nine. Tussaud for a trifle
over fourth of that sum. Itnow forms

principal suit of rooms of the new ex-
hibition buildings in the Marylebone
road. London Mail.

The Rarest Bird.

The rarest bird in existence is a GER
tain kind of pheasant in AMMAN. For
many years its existence was known
only by the fact that its longest and
most splendid plume was in much re-
quest by mandarins for their headgear.
a single skin is worth S400, and the
living bird would be priceless, but it
soon dies in captivity.

Gentlemen Have taken Paines celery

it cannot be repeated too often that the
stomach is the fountain which supplies every
part Of the body If the stomach is sick
the brain, heart liver, bowels and kidneys
are all sick. The trouble may all be felt in
one spot ii may be in the stomach itself or
it may be in the brain, or in a rheumatic
muscle. 1t will be felt in the weakest place
Paine's celery compound is fully competent
to correct all such disordered conditions of
the stomach. and to restore healthy, hearty
tone that will enable it to meet every demand
made upon it by hard-worked brain, heart
and nerves.
A dyspeptic stomach cannot furnish sweet.
healthy chyme, as the digested food is called
but acids and poisonous gases, and the brain
and nerves thus get poison instead of food.

STILL NO AGREEMENT


In the Convention of Mine Operators
and WorNcrS In Chicago.
Chicago, Jan 22.--After waiting upon
the scale Cummi tee since Tuesday the
delegates to the interstate joint con-
ference of bituminous coal operators
and miners of Pennsylvania, OHIO, In
diana and Illinois, and the miners of
West Virginia, received a very unsat-
isfactory report 1t was presented at
yesterday afternoons session and en-
bodied these propositions; The adop-
tion of the mine run, or gross weight
system, and the uniformity of houls of
labor. No mention of an advance in
wages was made.
The report was accepted by the con-
vention, and its consideration seriatjm
was commenced. But it quickly be
came apparent that no progress could
be made under the rules governing the
convention, which require an afIirma-
tive vote to carry any proposition.
Finally the convention was resolved
into a committee of the whole. A vote
was taken on the motion to adopt the
mine run, and resulted: Yeas, 2l; nays,
u. This vote the chair ruled, was a
defeat for the motion.
At the evening session Operator Rob
bins, of Pennsylvania, presented a reso-
luton embodying the adoption of a uni
form screen in the competitive field OF
IL inch mesh. This plan was discussed
at length. Several amendments thereto
We're defeated, and the motion went
over. 1t is quite evident that it can
not be put through, as a single objeC-
tion Will serve to defeat ii.

1t is not food swallowed, but food well di
gested that produces flesh and blood. Paine's
celery compound disposes the body to take on
flesh. 1t makes the breath sweeter, tho
strength more enduring, the body plumper
and the spirits better.
Dyspeptics and nervous. sickly persons
whose whole lives are failure, both as to
enjoyment aud usefulness, ought to learn
how closely their debility, aches and pains
depend on their general rundown condition,
and that the sensible, lasting cure can only
come from building up their general health
and constipation. This is the grand mission
of Paine's celery compound 1t cures neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, stomach troubles, blood
diseases ana headaches by this enlightened,
broad treatment. Pure blood and plenty Of
it, quiet, satisfactorily fed nerves and a con-
ditiOn of the brain that makes sound, SWEET
sleep safeguard against all nervous
troubles como when Paine's celery compound
is used.
If you are played out" to use forcible
street phrase, can't digest, can't work and
have lost courage, Paine's celery compound
will show itself to be the best friend you
ever had. 1t will enable you t. forget your
stomach, and will do for you what it has done
for so many others-make you again a
healthy, active man or woman.

Like Goldsmith's parsOn who
Tried each art, reproyed each dull delay,
Alured to brighter worlds and lead the
way,
great preachers throughout the country have
been the most untiring and earnest in telling
the truth about Paine's celery compound, in
urging sick people to use it, and at the same
time they themselves have employed the
great remedy in their own homes with re-
suits that have steadily kept up their faith in
its health giving powers.
1t is significant that Paine's celery com
pound stands alone as the one remedy that
is freely used in the homes not only of clergy
men, but Of all literally as well as profess
sionally educated men: physicians, lawyers,
school teachers and others, while every other
remedy purporting to accomplish equal re-
suits, is promptly shown the door.
No class of men have the public good so
disinterestedly ~ at heart as clergymen; none
Others see so intimately the affairs of so many
homes. 1t is their business to know the sad
side, sorrows and suflerings. As coniidant,
ronfessor and comforter they learn the truth
as even the physician often fails to do.
And clergymen recommend Pain"s celery
compound wherever they enter "A home where
some member needs a general building up OF
the body, "a purifying of the blood and a
