Marvellous Instinct OF q Cat.

The marvellous instinct of an animal
is said to sometimes be a sure warn
ing of impending danger. It seems
to be the case of the pet cat of the
steamer City of Kingston, This ami

lar recommendation except it's purr.
ing proclivities, has long been at
tached to that vessel, and not even
the most persuasive coaxing could in
duce it to leave the confines of the
ship. It has never been known to
miss trip.
When the Kingston arrived in
Seattle from Victoria early Sunday
morning, for some mysterious reason
the feline went ashore, and when the
time came for the departure for
Tacoma, which resulted in the dis
aster to the Kingston, the animal re-
fused to be coaxed aboard. Finally,
a saucer of milk proving uravailing,
one of the ships crew took the cat in
his arms and carried it aboard the
vessel, but just as the lines were
hauled in and the steamer was leav-
ing the dock, the sagacious puss
sprang from the Kingston to the
wharf and disappeared in pile of
bags. It is now alive and the ad-
miration of all hands at Yesler wharf.

WORK OF A NOBLE CHARITY.
ChiIdren's Aid Society Giving Relief t
Hot and Tired Poor Little Ones.


The Children's Aid Society, Of New York
City, has begun its summer work for poor
children. The summer home at Bath Beach.
which had been closed during the winter,
was invaded on the opening day by some
800 little children from as many miserable
homes in the tenement districts. The cot.
tage for crippled children received twenty.
four OF these little unfortunates.
The building which they occupy was cou.
structed especially with view to their
comfort and happiness, and nothing Is un'
thought Of during their stay that will con.
tribute to their enjoyment. 1t is the desire
Of tie Children's Aid Society to send sew
eral thousand little girls from the indus
trial schools during the summer to Bath
Beach, and as many boys to the Brace
Farm, at Kensico, Westchester County.
The Health Home ut Coney Island, in,
tended for sick infants, accompanied by
aforementioned branch of the summer work
of the society is most beneficent in its re.
suits. The lives Of hundreds Of young
children are saved annually by means OF
that instrumentality, and the rest and
recreation afforded their tired and eI-
hausted mothers is q boon Of priceless
value.
To carry on these various branches and
to enable the Children's Aid Society to ex-
tend their operations so as to include as
large number as possible Of poor and
helpless children, liberal contributions
from the charitable and fortunate are
necessary. Checks may he sent to c. Lor-

To Take SpOth From Carpets.

For taking spots from carpets use
ammonia or OK gall and water. For
the former use two tablespoonful of
household ammonia to four quarts Of
water. Half that amount will be all
that will be needed usually. Use one
tablespoonful of OK gall to quart of
water. Take a sponge or flannel, not
too wet, and rub until nearly dry.
Lime spots can be removed with vine
gar. Use quickly and wash of. For
SCOT cover quickly with salt or corn
meal and sweep up. For ink, pour
milk over the place and as it becomes
dlscolored absorb it with blottine
paper or coarse butchers paper. Then
wash with warm water and CASTLE
soap. Cover grease spots with pull.

ler's earth or buckwheat -four. Cover

has been taken out it can sometimes
be restored by sponging with weak
vinegar or spots made by an ulkali by
using chloroform.

The Uses Of Adversitv.

Secretary Wilson tells story which
illustrates the uses of adversely. A
farmer out West planted a lot of
ground to sugar beets. They grew
beautifully and sent out a glorious
foliage of dark-red leaves, with deep.
red veins in them, which he admired
very much. A tornado came and cut
them off close to the ground. The
poor farmer was discouraged. It was
too late to plow up the field and plant
another crop. His whole spring labor
was wasted and all his money was
gone. He decided that he would give
up farming, advertise his place for
sale and 60 back East to his wife's
folk. Before they had finished pack
ing. however, he noticed new, healthy
shoots coming from all the beets, and
told his wife he guessed they would
better hold up awhile and see what
happened. In few weeks the foliage
was as fresh and strong as before, SO
he hoed ont the weeds with confidence
of getting a good crop. When he
dug up those beets and took them to
the sugar factory that fall they were
found to contain more saccharine than
any others that were offered, and upon
an investigation at the experiment
station it was decided that their su-
periority was due to the storm. From
that time on beet farmers have imitat-
ed the example of nature and cut the
tops off their beets at least once dur
ing the season. Chicago Record.

The Miners Wear Diamonds.

Many of the miners there display
the most costly diam onds on their
brown hands, marquise, solitaires. At
q church fair given at Butte, Montana,
not long ago over $4,000 was rea.
lized in one week.
The population of Butte and South
Butte is given at $4,000. Counting in
the suburbs of Walkerville, Centreville
and Meaderville the population lis
over 10000. Visiting these suburbs
daytime or night, they are about the
most desolate-looking places possible.
Not blade Of grass, not tree or
rower. Just q never-ending. vista Of
bare earth. The same thing is en-
countered in Butte. No flowers or
vegetation, save in the florists win
dows. Many people contend that it
is the total abstinence of the beautiful
in nature that causes so much vic.
lerce.
Looking at the paved streets and
fine buildings it is difficult to believe
that the ground under the city is lit
orally honeycombed with rich veins
from different mines. Many of them
have been worked little. Real es-
tate is sold only twenty feet below
the surface. On many of the princi-
pal streets may be seen desolate-look-
ing shaft houses where the mines
closed down. Right west of the
court house the Thomas mine is locat-
ed, but the operator had to cease work
as it was having o disastrous effect on
the court house.

The Developers OF Hawaii.

The commercial development of Ha.
waii was begun by the sons of the first
missionaries, and has been to very
large extent carried on by their de-
scendarts. Other white settlers have
married into these families, and so to-
day those who are connected with these
pioneers of Hawaiian civilization,
either through direct descent or by
marriage, collectively are called the
missionary element, and represent at
least three-fourths of Hawaii's indus
trial and commercial strength.
And this element in its full strength
has been literally the salvation of Ha-
waii. It has been the upbuilding and
the cleansing of the islands during
times of extreme individual peril and
uncertain governmental existence. 1t
is the element which furnished the
ministry whose first official act was to
vote down their respe ctive salaries q
couple of thousand dollars each. And
there is not an intelligent anti-mission-
ary man on the islands who does not
know this, and realizes how weak is
the platform on which his clan stand.

A Great Memory For Dates.
HG1aa aaslESll11MkI

William L. McNair, a young man
of about twenty years of age, a resi-
dent of Milton, is the possessor of an
extraordinary memory. The events
of the past nine years that have come
before his notice seem to have been
preserved in the brain, as the cylinder
of phonograph preserves the vibra-
tions of sound. The condition of the
weather, the date of notable snow
storms and the circumstances under
which they came, fires, murders, the
death OF famous men, together with
vast quantity of miscellaneous infor-
NATION, seem to be completely at Mr..
McNair's command, and without the
practice and rehearsal that memoriz-
ing usually involves. There is some
thing almost uncanny in a memory
that permits a man without hesitation

In the Sick Room,

One of the duties which some time
in life falls to the lot of most women
is the nursing and care of a patient
when there is sickness in the family.
However short or long the illness,
let the brightest, sunniest room be
turned over to the sufferer, and let it
be kept scrupulously clean. Tidiness
and neatness in O sick room are very
essential, and the little things which
go to make up the sum total of clean.
illness can be so easily done, while the
difference in the room with evenly
drawn shades. with a pot or two of
growing plants within sight these to
be removed at night and returned in
the morning), and with total ab-
sence of used medicine glasses and
soiled dishes, is pleasant contrast to
the sick rooms where these triaes are
thought Of no Importance. !
The heat and ventilation of the
room must be carefully attended to. A
good-sized thermometer should oc-
cupy a prominent place on the wall.
Great harm is often doue to the pa.
tient by allowing the temperature to
fall too low or rise too high. Seventy
degrees in cool weather, and as near
seventy as possible in warm, is a fair
heat for living room.
When> baths are ordered for the pa
tient bath thermometer is necessary,
as the temperature of the water is
frequently a matter of great impor-
tance. -.
In attending to the nourishment
and medicine OF the patient, the great
est regularity as to time must be OBJ
served. If the temperature is to be
taken at regular intervals, q clinical
thermometer is used, and after little
study it comes simple matter to
read it correctly.
In the sick room avoid creakine
shoes and anything in dress which
rustles or is fussy, and wear an apron
with pockets. Avoid also all unnec.
essary noise, but it is great mistake
to speak in whispered tones in the
sick room. If message is to be
given, or a question asked, let it be in
an ordinary voice-whipers suggest
secrecy to the patients nervous con.
dition-or let l. be an understood fact
that no conversation is to be carried
on in the oom.--American Queen.

each with a cross and gallery, and it
was supplied with 152 bells that we're

rifle fell and was fred of. The bul

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Good Furniture Polish.

A splendid furniture polish, to use
for either chairs or tables, can be
made as follows: One ounce of bees
wax scraped into half a teacupful OF
linseed oil, and gradually dissolved in
turpentine to the thickness of cream.
If a little of this is rubbed on the
wood with woolen cloth, and then
polished with a soft cloth, it will take
a splendid gloss. This mixture can
be also used upon leather or linoleum
with equal success.

there's a chance to Lang them.
