Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to the usual one
storied or low constructions. Some Of
these are built like square towers foul
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at a considerable dis
lance above the ground, and no out
side projections by which thieves
might get in. These establishments
are called pawnshops. But they ap'
pear to more resemble banks. 1t Is
usual among the Chinese to deposit
their possessions of value, when MOI
in use, In these establishments. The
people also store there in summer
their winter clothing, on which money
is often lent. To have dealings witt
a pawnshop is in no way considered
derogatory to a Chinese gentleman

The coast and geodetic survey has
recently completed some very careful
leveling operations which show that
the surface of the Gulf of Mexico lies
,perceptibly higher than that of the At
ilantic ocean. Btween the surface OF
the ocean at st. Augustine, on the east
ern snore of Florida, and the surface
of the gulf at Cedar Keys, on the west
ern shore, there is mean difference
in level of nine-tenths of foot. This
is considered to be sufficient to account
for the outpouring current of the gulf
stream, which in the narrower part OF
the Strait of Florida touches bottom.
The surplus of water which raises the
gulf above the level Of the ocean Is
apparently received through the Yu-
catan channel, being driven In by the
prevailing equatorial currents from the
east.

A CATS ABILITY.
Success In Finding the Center of the
Circle.

Circle.
"The cat came back because she
instinctively comprehends distances
and directions, but who would suppose
that cat can exactly locate the ceu-
ter of a circle? You would naturally
suppose that careful measurement and
more than cat intelligence would be
required for such task, but a cat
can, for 1t has done that very thing,
says the New York Herald. The cat
referred to lives up in Orleans coun-
ty, and when her owner tried to put
her in box for removal to his sum-
mer home she escaped and took refuge
under circular outbuilding. There
was only room enough for her to run
under, and there she sat, oblivious to
all threats and entreaties. A stick ten
feet long was procured, but the cat
did not move as it was poked at her.
The fact that the stick and the own
er's arm were just long enough to
reach within four inches of kitty
Buff" The man took the stick to the
opposite side of the building, and came
just as near and no nearer the cat
than before. She held the position first
taken without moving an inch. He
made a circuit of the building and
tried to reach her from all points,
out always with the same result. She
was just beyond his reach from every
direction. That cat had at the first
dash put herself absolutely in the GEN.

A STORY OF EDISON.
Takes = Fnst Message and Secures En-
ployment.


A tall young countryman, looking as
green as a suit of "butternut" clothes
and SLOUGH hat could make him, ap-
piled for work In the Broad street,
New York, Office of Maury Smith, in
1871. Mr.. Smith was manager of the
consolidated telegraph lines, then in
opposition to the Western Union. Like
all managers, he could make room for
an expert operator, and told the young
rustic that an engagement depended
altogether upon his skill. "Try me;
can keep up with the best of EN-"
said the stranger. Mr.. Smith noticed
that the applicant appeared to be quite
deaf; but, out Of curiosity, and pos
sibly with the idea of having some fun
with him, he gave him a table and
told him to receive" message then
due from Washington. "You will have
to work pretty fast" he warned him.
''for our Washington man Is in the
habit Of rushing things" AS a mat
ter of fact there was no message ex-
PCCUSu llOHl w MI NAu WV
wire lead there. Mr.. Smith connected
the receiver with a Sender" in all
other part Of the same operating room,
and put his fastest operator, "Dick"
Hutchinson at work sending a two
thousand word message. Edison, for
it was he, grasped pen, and as soon
as the instrument began to click he
dashed off the copy in a large, round,
legible hand. While deaf to all other
sounds, he could catch the faintest
metallic click. On came the message
faster and faster, twenty, thirty, forty
words minute. A crowd of operators
gathered around, curiosity and then
amazement depicted on their faces.
Page after page was reeled off, with
never break, and with the last click
of the instrument, the forty-minute
message had been received perfectly
and lay in heap of manuscript on the
table. The young mans triumph was
complete. Hutchinson rushed up and
shook hands with him, and Mr.. Smith
gave him a job on the spot.-Success.

Mansfield, O., had its usual relaxa-
ton with Dowie elder the other day,
when a mob attacked Homer Kessler,
advertising manager Of "The Coming
City" and stoned him and the deputy
sheriffs who had taken him in charge.
In the exchange Of stone compliments
the deputies and cabman seem to
have fored worse than the Dowieite. 1t
now seems reasonably certain. that
Mansfield does not want the Dowie-
ties, but it is also certain 1t is taking
the most effective steps inspreading
the humbug cult. Dawieism has plenty
of converts, who are glad to achieve
the cheap martyrdom Mansfield seems
willing TO bestow upon them.

Curious Instinct in Weeds.

Weeds, If they are pulled out Of the
lawn at the time when they are full
of seeds. will envince degree of care
for the seeds which is almost touching.
They will curl their leaves upward as
far as each can go to cover the seeds
and protect them from the sun till
the end, and often one will find weeds
that are quite dead, sun killed. whose
leaves still are wrapped firmly around
the seed pods. No mother could show
more striking devotion in death than
do these despised plants.
