ship that has sisce ripened into love,
to use the expression of famous novel;
lists.
Before this love became an undying
one the cat found herself the mother
of four little kittens. Despite her
great friendship for Lump she had
much doubt about his intentions when
he began poking around the box where
the kittens lay. The mother promptly
arched her back and made ready to
slap Lump if he became too rude. He
showed himself thorough gentleman
and a member of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He
expressed only great solicitation for the
cat mother and actually went away and
got piece of meat for them. This
pleased the mother. and in a short
time afterward Lump entered the fam
lily as stepfather. The most remark
able things are told of his paternal
deeds.
To divide. meat with the little kit
tens was nothing uncommon. Lump
made up his mind that the kittens
should never be alone. He seemed to
fear that something would happen to
them. So. when the old cat went out
to get little fresh air. Lump would
take her place and lie in the box with
them or remain near. He allowed
them to scratch his nose with their
sharp little claws and to sport around
him in the merriest fashion. Some Of
the spiteful 400 said that Lump was
doing all this just to raise cats to bite
and chase over back fences The
queen of the hollering DANES said that
he would not risk his life for them.
Not long afterward this assertion was
proven untrue and Lump made him
self a hero. One day the Odd mother
cat was out for a visit to some of the
neighhors who had not utterly repudi-
ated her, and Lump was looking out
for the kittens. A man who wanted a
pair of shoes went into the store and
with him big bulldog. The brutal
dog began smelling around, and be-
fore Lump thought about it was at
the box with the kittens. The big
dog growled and started to seize kit
ten when Lump was upon him. The
big dog then attacked little Lump and
there was fierce fight. When the
store people got the big dog away lit
tie Lump was hardly able to stand,
but he crawled over to the cat box, and
when he saw that everything was
safe gave a pathetic whine and fell
into the box. He was badly wound
ed dog, but everybody treated him
well, and he's now with the cat and
kittens again. The kittens do all
kinds of undignified things with him,
but he just looks solemn and says
nothing. Out of the corners of his
eyes he keeps warm lookout for
mean dogs and bad boys.-Washing

WHEELS AND THE LAW.
Cycling Paper Urges WheeImen to
work for Sidcpaths Instead of
Good Country Roads

The decision of the Massachusetts
supreme court that the bicycle is not
a carriage is worthy of the space news
papers have given it. yet it is not novel
being but a reiteration of theMichigan
OF ion in the case of Leslie vs. the city
of Grand Rapids, in which case, as in
the Massachusetts action, the court de-
cided that cities and towns are not re-
quired to keep their highways in con-
dition for safety in cycling. The Mas
sachusetts opinion, however, touches
one new point in declaring that it is be-
cause the bicycle is not a Carriage
inasmuch as it cannot be used on all
roads and at all seasons-that cities
and towns are given the power by stat
utes to lay out, construct and main
tain bicycle side paths; and this item
is well worth to cycling all that the
decision seems to cost in other re-
spects.
If the Michigan and Massachusetts
opinion but becomes a precedent in a
few other important states, and the
wheelmen are thereby made acquaint-
ed with the fact that they have no rem
edy in the law for damages sustained
in riding over common roads, the re-
suit cannot fail to be an enormous ma
tional sidepaths movement that must
in the end be productive of interstate
paths, forming an endless network of
safe and rideable wheelways the coun-
try over.
In view of the noncarriage decisions
noted above and the several findings
declaring side paths legislation to be
constitutional, which serve to estab-
lish permanently the fact that wheel
men need not look for safety on COM
mon roads but are entitled by law to
special paths of their own, there seems
to be no alternative but for the riders
of bicycles to accept what is theirs and
to put forth their efforts in extending
cycle paths. Of course, good roads are
well enough, but why. adds the Cycling
Gazette, waste effort in spreading the
good roads gospel the benefits of which
will accrue only to those who pay for
the paths? This is the selfish view,
but it strikes us that cyclists have al
ready been unselfish sufficient length
of time.

Matthew Arnold's freedom from aus
terity when it came to the ordinary
happenings of life has been the SUBJ

of girls to examine, and gave them all
good marks. A fellow inspector no.

the string in your mouth at the point
where it crosses itself, and holding it
firmly between your teeth, announce
your intention of removing it from the

To do this first drop the cord from
both hands for moment, and in taking
hold of it again let your hands ex-

THE MAGIC STRING.
Clever Trick which, with a Little
Practice, Can BE Performed by
Any Boy or Girl.

The boy or girl who can perform va
rious little tricks with matches, string,
ETC., is generally very popular and much
in demand. A rainy day at the sea-
shore, or in the mountains, is generally
dreary enough, and anyone who can
help while away the time is regarded
with gratitude. Here is a description
of the marvellous ring trick, which the
writer has not seen described since he
was child, which is quite good many
years ago.

together, pass it double through a

The surprise of your stringholder will
now be doubled if you proceed to re-
turn the ring to the string without re-
moving the ends from his fingers. Pass
the string, as in the first trick, around
one of his fingers, and in drawing the
loop. as before, toward the other hand

SPECIAL NOTICES.
PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
DRATED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.

This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line, and a the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family grocers in New
York city.
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice of hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. 1t is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer-
vescence is natural, and We guarantee it
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients, its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Paulding's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newtons Pippins are used. The ap-
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed In a dry room to riDen.
Paulding says 1.-THE apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the Juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed app es and ground apples il you
take some stems and chew them, you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russell

1.-The quivering eye" would emphasize his
hearts native kindiness, which, while
oking forward to unselfish labor in the
future, yet recalls the friends of other
days. Beneath the altar at which he
kneels. sleeps the Bishop of Richmond,
John McGill, who ruled its destinies from
1852 until 1872, and by whom he was con-
firmed In boyhood. What more fitting spot
for Dr. Kelley to grasp his crozier the
first time, unless it were, indeed, his own
Cathedral of Savannah? Although every
body regrets the unfinished state of this
edifice, which will soon rank among our
countrys finest churches, yet the indica-
tons are that shortly after DR.. Keiley's
return home he viii dedicate 1t to the
living God. Then. amid the CLEAN of
lights, the smoke of incense, and the
rhapsody of song, will Bishop Becker's
successor be properly installed.
An interesting feature of Dr.. keiley's
conservation is the fact that he receives
the rite from the Cardinal-Archbishop of
Baltimore. who was formerly Bishop
of Richmond from 1872 to 1877,
and whose predecessors, Archbish-
ops Kenrick, Spalding and Bay
ley at Baltimore, consecrated no less
than four previous Bishops OF Savannah,
from 1857 to 1873. DR.. Kelley recently
said that he was present az the consecra-
ton Of Bishop Becker. whom he sue
ceeds, and from whom he received or
dination as a priest, on Dec. 81, 1873. That
event was "a double conservation" Car
dinal Gibbons having been uplifted to
episocal rank at the same time as vicar
apostolis, or titular Bishop of North Caro-
lina-a position he held until transferred

as well as one of the late Bishop Becker 5
closest acquaintances, il is pleasant to
note the prominent place which B7lti-
more's Archbishop will occupy at DR..
Keiley's conservation.
As a matter of historical interest to
thousands of Catholics in this commun-
ity, IL may he we'll TO observe that the
first prelate ever consecrated in the Unit

just a century ago. This priest was Rev.

the kiss of peace is given by the Cardinal
and assistant Bishop and the Bishop-elect
retires to his altar, where he washes ms
hands, and the linen cloths are removed.

the Cardinal sits and the Bishop-elect
makes him an offering of candles, bread
and wine They both then return to the
cardinals altar, where a missal is placed
at the epstle side for the bishop-elect,
who says the mass with the cardinal.
After his own communion the Cardinal
gives communion to the bishop-elect, mass
goes on as usual until after the Cardinal
has given the blessing, when once more
he sits in front of the altar and blesses
the mitre and places it on the bishop
elects head, then the gloves are blessed
and placed on his hands, the ring having
been first removed and then replaced over
the gloves. The Cardinal then, taking the
bishop-elect by the right hand and the
senior assistant taking him by the left,
they place him in the seat from which the
cardinal has risen The TIE Deum is then
sung, and during 1t the assistant bishops
lead the newly consecrated bishop
