Nature Notes relates a curious case
Of adoption by a pair of cats, tor
toise-shell and a white one, owned by
a family in Berlin. Seven chickens
had been deserted by their mother, and
the white cat went to the basket where
they lay, covered them over, and kept
them warm, its example being after
ward followed by the tortoise-shell cat.
The action Of the white cat can be ex-
planned to certain degree by the fact
that she had three kittens a fortnight
before, which were taken away from
her. Conversely, at Halves hen has
voluntarily taken charge of family of
kittens. When the cat comes to pro-
vide her young with their natural
nourishment the hen steps aside for
awhile, but returns to her place when
ever the cat leaves them.

Artistic Furnishing.

The supreme artistic quality is sim
plicity, even in furnishing and decora-
ton, which should be guided by few
simple ideas. The first of these is
"Confine yourself to what is needed
the second is, Let the few essentials
be good for their purposes" and the
third is, "Let them be as beautiful as
is consistent with use and durability
The commonest fault in American fur
nishing is the overabundance of every
thing. Pictures upon walls are good
but many pictures in a room destroy
one another. Their abundance makes
them useless. Picture galleries are
wearisome in ones home or out of it
One good picture is not only better
than many poor ones, it is also better
than many good ones. A dozen bronzes
on a mantel must quarrel. The ia
panese method of storing artistic treas
ures and bringing each to light for a
time is the right one. Tudor jerks, in

WHEN DAYS WORK IS OVER.
Mutual Pleasures and RecreatIons OF
Husband and Wife.

uuSDduu anu htes
IF wives and sisters would try to
supply something restful and quiet on
the arrival of the man of the family
from his daily work, might not much
of the hopelessness and the discomfort
of home life be done away WITH"
Women work hard all day, too" was
the answer, "and they are just as tired
at evening time. You cannot expect a
miracle from them" But it seems TO
some of us that just such things can
be expected of them, and that were the
miracle performed the hopelessness of
existing conditions would vanish, says
Harper's Bazaar. The beginning OF the
miracle might be brought about II
women, no matter how busy they were,
nor what had happened during the day,
would arrange to spend an hour in
some sort of recreation with their hus-
bands every evening. This recreation
might take any form, from quiet COM
panionship, as the wife sewed or
knitted beside her husband as he
smoked, TO pleasant work upon some
particular hobby which she had taken
up because 1t was interesting to her
and interesting to him, and including
anything in the form of outdoor life
after the supper, walking or taking
part in some game with him. The
duties Of the two are bound to be OF
interest to both. 1t is the pleasures
and recreatiOns of both which require
study before they can become of COM
mon interest and it is part of the wife's
field to give sufficient thought to these
matters so that they may become OF
practical use. The miracle might go
even a step farther, for the wife or
daughter could cultivate some one
pursuit or interest of her own, throw
ing into it her enthusiasm, finding in
it refreshment, and making of it an
object by which the sympathies and
interest of her husband or brother
would be aroused. This is only sug
gestion, but it has it's significance. II
has it's significance, because it can be
tried IA any home, because whatever
is done with this purpose sincerely in
view is just so far step, and a good
step, in the right direction, and be
cause any wife or any sister may tit
its application to her own case, and
start at once to produce some little
result.

A Big Eli

On the Deadwocd, S. D., branch of
the Burlington Railroad is a gulch 700
feet wide, known as Sleeps Canyon.
This was crossed, until recently, by a
wooden bridge. 126 feet high, which
took over 240 600 feet of lumber in the
building. Recently this trestle was
nlled in, and the great undertaking at
tracted the attention of railroad men
all over the country. 1t took twenty
weeks to accomplish the task. 1t was
necessary to haul 2,SS0,00O cubic feet
OF earth one and one-half miles up a
two per cent grade and unload off the
nigh bridge. This required 1886 trains
OF fifteen cars each; $4,000 carloads in
all. 1t was stupendous undertaking,
but now the bridge can't burn, and it
doesn't cost lot of money every year
for repairs and watchers.
