TRAITS OF THE CAT.

some Points Which Prove Ys Go be a soIi.
 tary Animal.
 All the cats habits show it to be by nature a solitary animal. Even in early life, when family ties bring out the instinct of association. this is ap- parent If you compare the play of puppies with that of kitten you will ma in one case that companionehip of some Kind is essential, for if a puppy nas no playmate of his own species he VIII always try to make one of the nearest oiped; whereas a cork or a bit or string is all that Is necessary to sat- isly the requirements of the kitten. The way in which the cat takes it's food is a sure sign that in It's natural state it is not in the habit of associatinK with greedy companions.
 When given something to eat it first carefully smells the morsei, then takes IL m a deliberate and gingerly way. ana sits down to finish 1t at leisure, There is none of that inclination to snatch hastily at any food held before It which we observe even in we'll train- ca dogs, nor does a cat seem in any hurry to stow it's goods in the one place where th1eving rivals cannot interfere With them. Indeed, no greater contrast ln natural table manners can be ob- served anywhere than when we turn rom the kennel or the pigsty and watch the dainty way in which cat taxes its meals. That cat allows peo- pie to approach 1t while feeding with cut showing jealousy proves that it ooes not attribute to human beings like tastes with it's own.

A Grateful Cat.

A Boston family had cat of which they thought great deal. The cat was sick, and in spite of careful nursing, catnip tea and all they could do, the cat grew worse, and they had to call the doctor. The doctor soon put pussy on her feet again.
 Not long after this doctor was called again to see member of the same family. No sooner had the doctor en- tered the room than the cat appeared, took a seat beside the doctor and did not stir until the physician had left. Every day the doctor returned, and every day the cat sprung to greet him with every appearance of delight.

THE PRINCIPLE OF INERTIA.

inches in diameter are made by past- ing together strips of writing paper an inch wide. Two sharp table knives or razors should be held by two persons, each holding one on the same level with the sharp edge upward. Over these the paper rings are to be passed and the broomstick suspended by the paper rings. The performer then takes a strong stick and strikes the broom- etiek a sharp. strong blow in the mid- dle, and it breaks instantly, without fearing the paper rings or causing them to cut on the razors.
 Or this can be done by sticking needle in each end of the broomstick and resting the needles on the edges of glass goblets stood on chairs. In either case the blow struck in the mid- dle breaks the stick without moving the supports. A pile of checkers may be put on the table and by one blow with the edge of a knife the center or even the bottom one may be removed without disturbing the others.

How to Make Paper Fish Swim

HOW 10 htake Fhper h1sh swim.
 Cut out of ordinary paper fish. In the center of the body must be cir- cular opening, communicating with the tail by narrow canal. Place water in an oblong vessel and lay the fish carefully on the water, so that it's un- der side will be thoroughly wetted, though it's upper surface remains dry.
 Pour delicately one or two drops of oil within the circular opening. The oil will strive to spread itself over the surface of the water, but by doing so it can only travel along the little canal that leads to the tail. By reactive ef- feet the fish will be impelled in direc- ton opposite to that in which the oil will go. The movement will last quite long.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, April 1.-THE impulse among
wheat SPECTATORS at the start was to sell
on the government crop report. which was
regarded as bearish. May opened with a
quarter cent lower at from 711sc down to
7CBc. and as there was no great amount
of wheat wanted to begin with, the price
declined steadily to 703sc. The drain was
accentuated by report from Kansas City
to the effect that the Kansas crop had
without doubt improved wonderfully in
the last few days. The more the govern
ment report was considered and analysed
the more the trade was inclined to doubt
if 1t could rightly be given a bearish i'm
probation and many of the early sellers
wanted back former holdings May whea
rose from around 7012c to 7lssc. In the end
the market began to yield to the little
peeping note of improving prospects in
Kansas and to turn deaf ear to the
perfect howl of distress from other quar-
ters. Liquidation set in on heavy scale
and the market lost the advance about as
fast as it gained it, May closed with sell
ers at 71AG71asc. a net gain of &c.
The corn market kept in touch with
wheat There was a fair cash demand.
May closed unchanged.
Oats were fairly active, with trade of a
general character. May closed &c higher
Liquidation weakened provisions. Cash
trade showed some little improvement
but the stocks of lard are accommodating
fast and bulls in this product were dis
couraged because the May and June sup
ply of hogs is now near. Pork lost 15c,
| lard 17hc and ribs DC.

slight set-hacks regularly bringing new

volume, bringing the total to nearly three
quarters of million shares. There was
continuous support by large operators, ac-
companied by optimistic utterances. Po-
tent allies of higher prices were the show
ing of the government crop report on
winter wheat, which was better than ex-
pected abundance of money at easier
sales and Washington advices that sud-
den call on the depository banks for the
funds to pay the Spanish indemnity was
not contemplated but that the withdrawal
of government funds would be gradual as
hitherto. A sentimental influence was the
knowledge that presidential proclama-

would be issued to-day. The grangers
