QUEEN, COUNTESS AND CATS.
A squnbble In the Royal Household
Precipitated by the Noisy
Eelfnes.

The death Of the empress of Austria
has served TO revive many old stories
of her aversion to conyentionality, but
in this she was far excelled by her sis
ter, the former queen of Naples, who
after her husband had lost his throne,
took up her residence at Rome with the
king and her child. She occupied a
palace adjacent TO that inhabited by
the mother Of Cardinal Antonelli, the
papal secretary Of state. That aged
lady was passionately devoted to cats
ard these animals, in accordance with
their invariable custom. were wont to
make the otherwise equisite Roman
nights hideous with their concerts.
The queen repeatedly sent to the old
Countess Antonelli, entreating her TO
keep her cats under proper restraint
at any rate at night. This the countess
refused to do.
At length the queen became desper-
ate, purchased several saloon rifles and
air guns, and proceeded to shoot the
disturbers of her rest. The old count
ess, frantic with rage, appealed first to
her son, the secretary Of state, and then
to the late pope himself, insisting that
some check should be put upon the
sporting proclivities of the royal Diana,
and that she should be debarred from
potting cats under the very shadow OF
the walls of ST. Peters and the vatican.
But the good pope declined TO interfere
intimating that the cats should 1ot
have made such horrible noises, and
that they practically deserved their
| fate.
For a long time Rome laughed about
this cat episode, popular sympathy be-
ing all with the former queen, though
it is doubtful whether Cardinal An
tcnelli ever forgot or forgave the IN
Jury done TO his mothers pets. AT any
rate the queen and her husband found
il preferable year later to abandon
their residence in Rome, on the ground
that they were subjected to too many
annoyances by the papal authorities on
the plea of avoiding conflict with the
Neapolitan government.-N. Y. Herald

And water jewels for their waving arms;

Untf their splendors dazzle mind and eye.

"One Of the strangest as well as the

riod when the offspring is very young.
Between the toes of all the feet will be
found a hcle which extends into the
foot about an inch, terminating III a
sack in which is secreted musk or
scent of very strong odor. Ordinarily
when the deer is walking the air leaves
enough scent in each track to enable a
dog or wolf to follow it several hours
after IT has been made, but the foot of
the doe is changed for several months
after the fawn is born. The glands, if
glands they are, dry up, and there is
not bi. of odor in the track, and no
