past, laughing, crying, telling what had
heard them tell in many corners of the
earth.

the gale was high and found much work

could not shake off. l used my voice
often at first, giving some order about the
affairs of ship, for | had been told that
otherwise | should lose my speech. At
the meridian altitude of the sun | called
aloud, eight BELLS" after the custom on

cried to an imaginary man at the helm,
GLOW does she head, there?' and again,
is she on her course?' But getting no
reply, was reminded the more palpably
of my condition. My voice sounded
hollow on the empty air, and l dropped
the practice.
However, it was not long before the
thought came to me that when | was lad

where it would disturb no one? MY mus
ical talent had never bred envy in others,
but out on the Atlantic, to realize what it
meant, you should have heard me sing.

Alone in rlid=OCean.

In the first insta lment of his narrative
of his solitary voyage around the world in
the sloop Spray, Captain Joshua Slocum
describes in the September Century his
attempt to overcome the sense of loneli-
ness that beset him on the way from Bos-
ton to Gibraltar:
On the evening of July ; the Spray, after
having steered all day over a lumpy sea,
took it into her head to 90 without the
helmsman' aid. | had been steering
southeast by south, but the wind hauling

lane, heading southeast, and making about
eight knots, her very best work. | crowd

as possible the friendly Gulf Stream. The

sight. Then | turned my face eastward,
and there, apparently at the very end of
the bowsprit, was the smiling full moon
rising out of the sea. Neptune himself
coming over the bows could not have
startled me more. "Good evening, Sir,
! | cried; 81 glad to see YOU" Many a
long talk since then l have had with the
man in the moon; he had my confidence
on the voyage.
About midnight the fog shut down again
denser than ever before. One could almost
'tstand on it. 1t continued 50 for a num-
Der Of days, the wind increasing to gale.
The waves rose high, but l had good
ship. Still, in the dismal fog felt myself
drifting into loneliness an insect on a
straw in the midst of the elements. l

course, and while she sailed | slept.
During these days feeling of awe crept
over me. My memory worked with star

full, the commonplace-all appeared before
my mental vision in magical success

Names Cat Industry.

There were larger shipments of cats
from Maine the past year than for any
season previous, there being over 6, 400
cats shipped out of the State, going to all
parts of the United States and exported
to foreign countries. One concern alone,
the Walnut Ridge farm company of Bos-
ton, sent $50 Angoras; Frederick D. Nudd
of Waterville, 49,, Mr. Emery of North
Arson, $40, Mrs. Mary II. Ranlett OF
Rockland, 279, f. W. Palmer of Rock
land, ia, J. W. Dean of Troy, 40, be-
sides many others. Beside this large
shipment of Angoras there are now over
$50 Angora cats remaining in various
sections of Maine. 1t is estimated that
there are only 80, 800 Angora cats in
all America compared with several mil
lions of common cats.
The number of Angora cats in Maine is
gradually diminishing, there being at
least 100 less each season. The demand
is so great for them that the farmers can
not keep up with a sufficient supply.
Maine people made over $50, 900 last year
on cats. This is rather a lucrative bust
ness when one stops to think that three
years ago but few shipments could be
recorded. The express companies are

PARROT AN AGENT OF DEATH.
Mistress II Sleeptng-Is .
Gas Inebriate.

Alice Knott. % years old. of No. SOB
Twelfth street, Washington, came to
her death the other day through the in
strumentality of her pet parrot, an evil
dispusitioned bird, who was cordially
detested by everybody except his mis-
tress, but who seemed to haXe strong
affection for her. He would follow her
from room to room and was never hap
DIV except in her presence. He was gen.
orally regarded as devil by the ne
proes. and as bird of ill-omen by the
whites. His unpopularity was increased
by an uncanny habit of pulling the tips
off the gas burners with his strong beak
and inhaiing the gas until it stupefied
him. He was gas fiend, feathered
victim Of the gas habit.
While his young mistress was sleep
ing the parrot took off the lava tip in
her room and started on gas deoauch.
This time there was no one near to
avert the conseq uences of his deed.
When Miss knott's relatives, alarmed
at her long absence, broke open the
door they found her dead. Her little
murderer was found half unconscious
by the door. When he found hiroself
succumbing to the gas and was not re-
lieved as usual by his mistress he real
lied that something was wrong. and
had wit or instinct enough to make for
the door and shove his bill as far as he
could underneath it. He recovered, and
while the coroner was in the house the
malignant little bird was caught trying
to turn on the gas again.

public rig, but we can't help it. H
it was his own we could prevent him
from getting a license. He is only one
of many criminals who hold similar pO-
sitions. Innocent strangers are liable
any day to employ him. or some other
fellow with criminal instincts, and suf-
fer some depreciation. Under these cir
cums.ances it would be well for peo-
pie visiting Washington to be careful
whom they employ. 1t is generally
best for strangers to secure carriages
from the hotel clerks, because they are
careful to whose care they commit their
guests.
"One of these fellows was called by
lady on Pennsylvania avenue last
March, and he carried ner to visit
friend on Connecticut avenue. She
still wore her winter furs; but, as ths
day was growing warm. she left her
furs in the carriage, while she entered
the home of her friend. No sooner had
the door closed, than the hackman
drove hastily down the avenue until he
