How Black Feline / earned to Re.
spect Fly-Paper.
When a young man who lives near
Druid Hill Park appeared at his Office
the other morning his face in it's per-
turbed expression showed that he had
passed sleepless night. In fact, he
had spent considerable portion of
the hours which are supposed to be
passed in pleasant dreams trying to re-
move a sticky fy-paper mixture from
the caudal appendage of his particular
pet-a large and handsome black cat.
The possibilities are that neither the
young man nor the cat will ever forget
the experience. The drama opened
about 8 o'clock at night. While prowl-
ing about the house the cats evil genius
led him to jump upon the sdeboard.
The fay paper IVES there. just how 1t
happened the sole witness of the dis
asted did not know, relates the Balti-
more News. There was Il whlSk of the
cats tail, a loud growl as 1t touched
and clung to the fly paper. Then there
was pandemonum for fifteen minutes.

to rid himself of 1t by rolling, and lSade
it stick tighter. The cat hissed, spit
and uttered blood-curdling shrieks. He
fled under the sofa and then upstairs.
The youngest of the family was asleep.
She awakened in terror as the cat rush
ed across her bed leaving section Of
the paper on her face.
Into the next room rushed the cat.
He rolled ON the bureau, and about
twenty-five pins, two pieces of ribbon,
lot of cigarette papers, scarf and
II necktie stuck to his tail. Downstairs
he went. carrying the collection with
him, and, took refuge under the refrig-
orator, when his owner who had vain
ly been trying to seize him, managed
to get hands on him. The frightened
animal had been terrified into docility.
Warm water, olive oil. alcohol and ben
zine were applied to his once smooth
black tail afterpthe articles he had
gathered UP on II had been picked Off
one by one to an accompaniment OF
news and spits. 1t was past midnight
when this was accomplished. In the
r.orning the cat made Il hostile demon
stration before another piece of fly pa
per, but left II alone.

An ingenious table intended for tn

An ingenious, table intended for the
use of invalids who are confined to the
bed, has been devised. 1t is SO arrang-
ed that it can be raised or lowered,
and can be increased or decreased in
diameter, to overlap the side of the
bed. BY pressing knob it can be con-
verted into reading-desk, and spring
clips are provided for holding the read
ing matter in position. The mechan-
ism of this table is so easily worked
that an inavlid can operate it without
assistance.

APhosphorescsnt Crab.

There was recently added to the
aquarium at Calcutta gigantic crab
about two feet IN diameter across it's
shell, and having legs three feet long,
which was captured in dlag-net in
the Indian ocean about mile from the
shore and at depth of 40 fathoms.
After being placed in large tank it
devoured the fish and smaller crusta-
ceans that were its fellow prisoners,
and later, in the evening, surprised its
keepers and visitors by emitting a
white phosphorescent light, strangely
illuminating the gloomy corner where
it had concealed itself between two
boulders.

Scotch Soldiers Experience in the I
Battle of Atbara.
A letter written by Corporal Laurie |
of the Seaforth Highlanders to his sis
ter, describing the battle of Atbara,
says: Il suppose you have seen me re-
ported as slightly wounded and pic
tured me as an interesting invalid.
Well, | was struck, but the effect was
so small that l have often been worse
hurt in football match. But during
the rest of the day and for some days
afterward l have been an object of in
terest, and have been questioned by al
most every officer and man in the bat
talon, referred to as the 'bullet-proof
man. and asked if would mind letting
a section fire few rounds at me to see
If they could do me any harm. The
fact is that | got most of the corners
of my clothing shot off, while person
ally was uninjured.
Before | entered the zeraba l was
not struck, but shortly afterward
bullet took off the toe of my left shoe
without hitting my foot, the shoe being
a size too big, for easy marching and
sleeping at night. Then my bayonet
was struck and bent over at a right
angle. Then shot went through my
sleeve, near my left wrist, tearing two
holes, but not hurting myself. Then my
rifle was struck while | was loading,
the bullet splintering the butt and be-
ing stopped by an iron bolt which it
met. This bullet would certainly have
gone right into my body but for my rifle
being there. Then niger in trench
let drive at me with spear, missed
my ribs by an inch and slit up my
haversack. a bullet then grazed the
back of my hand just enough to make
1t bleed.
which was nearly perpendicular, shot
came from the bottom, about twenty
feet below and little to the left,
which caused the wound am supposed
to have got. and was so curious that |
was paraded before the General. 1t en-
tered through the lid of my right am
muniton pouch, which was open; went
into my right coat pocket, smashing a
penknife and two pencils, tore four
holes in my shirt. made surface
wound two or three inches long on my
left breast, and came out near my left
shoulder through my coat and ammu-
milton pouch braces.
''In the afternoon strolled over to
the field hospital and got piece of
dressing on and it has never troubled
me at all; in fact, it was farce to put
it in as wound, and was done with
out my knowledge by the color SER
geant SO you see I've really been, as
I'm told by everybody, wonderfully
lucky in getting off as | have done,
while other poor chaps were given no
chances. ."-ScOtsman

why Certain Metals Cannot Be Cast.

why Certain Metals Cannot Be Cast.
AS is we'll known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
like iron, can readily be cast in any
desired shape. The property of casting
we'll is said to depend upon whether
the metal contracts or expands on So
lidify ing from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
Gold and silver contract in cooling,
and therefore, are not suitable for cast
ing.

1t is probable that in the future
moie root crops, such as beets, turnips
and carrots, will be grown for stock.
The difficulty has been in the labor of
sliciug the roots, which is necessary
when feeding them to cattle, but with
in the past few years root cutters have
been introduced, which cut all kinds
of roots into thin slices, bran and corn
meal being sprinkled on the food so
prepared, which makes meal that is
not only highly relished but one that
is cheap and promotive of the thrift OF
the animals.

1t is great mistake to make large
tea biscuit. Properly speaking, tea
biscuit should not be more than two
inches in diameter and proportionately
thick when baked. This gives deli
cate, moist, flaky biscuit which will
be cooked through before the outside
crust has become hard or over brown.

Extend the Road.
Bismarck Tribune.

General. w. D. Washburn,
president of the Bismarck,
Washburn & Fort Buford rail
way company, has filed with
Secretary o Estate Falley notice
ut the change Of the name of
the road the Bismarck, Wash
burn & Great Falls railway.
Private advices indicate that it
is the intention of General
Washburn to make his railroad
project more extensive than at
first proposed and build the
line ultimately from Bismarck
along the Missouri river and
through the Judith Basin to
Great Falls, Montana. This
would mean a road along the
Missouri river for an extended
distance, tapping a section of
fertile country, and some of
the great cattle ranges of the
west. General Washburn has
also decided to follow the line
nf the old Bismarck, Aberdeen
Missouri valley survey from
Bismarck to Aberdeen if the
500 road fails to- extend to Bis
naarck this year. This would
give the Missouri slope a CONS
peting line to the Twin Cities
and shorter than any other
line than at present, for at Aber-
deem the road could connect
with any one of a number of
lines entering the Twin Cities.
The main object of General
Washburn is to secure all in
dependent line over which the
coal from the fields on his
lands can be shipped to the
Twin Cities, he believing that
the coal industry is destined
ultimately to become one of the
valuable in the state.
General Washburn's interest
i'll lands along the Missouri
is certain to prove of
greater benefit to the slope
than is at present thought by
many. He is an energetic rail
road builder and has doncmuch
in this line for Minneapolis
and the tributaryroads which
he has been instrumental in
having opened up
new country for them
and given them the benefit of
competition.

To Protect Game Birds.

A Washington dispatch tc
Pioneer Press, dated January
10th, saws: A number of pro-
positions have been. offered in
congress from time to time to
restore game birds to those
parts of the United States
where they have become
scarce or extinct by the inroads
of hunters and sportsmen.
Representative Lacey of Iowa
has introduced an interesting
bill in this connection, the pur
pose of which is to prohibit the
transportation by Interstate OF
game killed in violation OF
local laws, The bill authorizes
the secretary of agriculture t.
purchase such game birds and
other wild game as may be
necessary for the purpose OF
restoring species that have be
come extinct in various sec
tions'of the country. The bill
makes unlawful for a common
carrier to transport the deac
bodies of Wild deer. elk, ante:
lope, caribou, buffalo ard {
variety of other animals and
game birds killed in violation
of state laws. The bill is re;
ferred to the committee on in
