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


The cat came back" because she
instinctively comprehends distances
and directions, but who would suppose
that a cat can exactly locate the CEN
ter Of a circle? You would naturally
suppose that careful measurement and
more than cat intelligence would be
required for such a task, but cat
can, for it has done that very thing,
says the New York Herald. The cat
referred 10 lives w in Orleans coun-
~, and when her owner tried TO put
her in box for removal to his sum
mer home she escaped and took refuge
under a circular outbuilding. There
was only room enough for her to run
under, and there she sat. obliyious to
all threats and entreatios. a stick ton
feet long wars procured, but the cat
I die not move as 1t 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 q circuit of the building and
tried to reach her from all points,
cut 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.
ter of the circle.

HEROIC Treatment.

In guiana. if a child is slow in its
movements the parents apply an ant
to tie child, instead of whip, to make
it move faster. This little ant bites
more cruelty than a mosquito, and It's
bite is apt to be troublesome after
wards As you can imagine, this treat
ment does not make the child kind to
Others. and the children OF Guiana do
not reckon their age by years but by
their ability TO endure pain. Until he
gets to the point where he can let the
Hucu ant bite him without wincing
he is considered merely baby.-Kan-

A STORY OF EDISON.
Takes Fast Message and Secures Em.
ployment.

A tall young countryman, looking as
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.
Tor our Washington man is In the
habit OF rushing things" AS mat
ter OF fact there was no message ex-
pected from Washington, nor did the
wire lead there. Mr.. Smith connected
the receiver with a sender in an
other part of the same operating room,
end put his fastest operator, "Dick'
Hutchinson at work sending a two
thousand word message. Edison, for
1t 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 a minute. 4 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 a 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 JOB on the spot.-Success

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 to- seeds
and protect them from the sun till
the end, and often one will find weeds
that are quite dead sun killed, whose
leaves SILL are wrapped firmly around
the seed pods. No mother could show
more striking devotion In death than
do these despised plants
