How to Give a Cat Medicine.

A New York gentleman has a very
fine Angora cat. and so fine a specimen
of her kind that she Is famous In n
large circle of fashionable folk. She Is
not rugged in health, yet she cannot be
persuaded to take physlc. 1t has been
put in her milk, 1t has been mixed with
her meat, It has even been rudely and
violently rubbed In her mouth, but new
er has she been deluded or forced into
swallowing any Of 1t. Last week n
green Irish girl appeared among the
household servants. She heard about
the failure to treat the cat. "Sure,"
said she, give me the medicine and
some lard, and I'll warrant she'll be
ating all | give herr She mixed the
powder and the grease and smeared it
on the cats sides. Pussy at once licked
both sides clean and swallowed all the
physic. Faith" said the servant girl,
Everybody In Ireland does know how
to give medicine to cat!

Would Not Leave II to Go For Money
That Belonged to Him.
II won't 20 outl l won't leave here

Such was the amazing declaration Of
n pauper attendant In an east end Lon
don workhouse on being told by an
agent that he was entitled to some
money. And the mantle son of a
post captain in the navy-meant all
that he said Not an inch would he
bulge, nor would he sign any paper,
and 1t was only by taking Il commits
sioner down to him that the fund
could be recovered.
Whether because 1t was only com
paratively small sum or whether be-
cause he was Il worker, the guardians
made no claim on 1t. Accordingly, at
his request, 1t was split, and two ac-
counts were opened on his behalf In
the Postofice Savings bank. But for
all that, he continued to remain In the
workhouse.
Meanwhile he was very anxious that
his wife should not know he was alive
in fact, he denied that he was mar
rted. His life partner, however, called
at the agents office to inquire about
the case, though she begged that her
husband might not be told of her
whereabouts She was In a fairly
good position, earning as she did liv-
Ing by keeping ladies' school, and
once or twice her reprobate husband
had turned up in an intoxicated condi-
ton and raised commotion that had
scandalized her pupils. The i'll sorted
pair were, therefore. not brought into
communication.
Never would the pauper legatee leave
the workhouse. He remained there till
his DEATH whereupon, having left no
will, The money he had scorned to use

A writer In the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages of
the ordinary book are injurious to the
eye Of the reader The curvature ne
cessitates a constant change of the TO-
Gus of the eye as It reads from one sMe

under n constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides of the page, further interfering
with a continued clear field of vision.
1t is suggested that the difficulty might
be obvlated If the lines should be print
ed parallel to the binding instead OF at
right angles to 1t.

The Man Who Fell Among pleas ("
BY LUCY G. STOCK.

! little incident from life is an obvious
one 1t illustrates only too well the
necessity of speaking our words very
clearly when teaching little people, and
also of explaining unfamiliar words.
The lesson had been carefully
taught in the primary class, and
as she left the room, the teacher
felt that the little ones would long
remember the story of the Good
Samaritan.
Late in the afternoon of that
Sunday, sunny-faced little
maiden met her teacher, and
said:
81 liked the lesson lots to-day
in Sunday.school. That was an
awful nice picture on the black
board, too. / guess I'd remem-
Der the story from the picture if
you didn'tsay single thing about
it?"
Wishing to know what the child
had grasped of the lesson the
teacher said:
81 am glad you liked the story.
Can't you tell me what you re-
member about it?"
ooh, yes! Once upon a time,
there was a man, and he started
to go from Jerus lum to Jericho.
1t was long way, but he was
goin' to walk all the same. 1t
was an awful rocky road, the
rockiest road you ever saw, m
twas most all down hill, too.
Wen, after he'd gone quite ways
a lot Of bad folks came out from
behind the rocks. They were
feas, n they stole all of the mans
clothes n all his money, N
everything he had. N they
hurt the poor man till he was all
covered with hurts, m most
dead. Then the heas all ran
away m left the poor hurt man
lying in the road most dead.
'Well, after a while man came
along, n when he saw the poor
man in the road, he just looked at
him this way" (glancing over her
shoulder), "and hurried by on
the other side Of the street. |
s'pect he was 'fraid the heas
would come after him too, if he
didn't hurry.
"After that, another man came
along, m he looked at the poor
man in the road this way too"
repeating the quick glance over
her shoulder). "And then there
came another man m he said,
Poor man; I'm sorry you are
hurt. | wish | could help you,
but the feas might catch me, so I !
guess I'd better be goin'n So
he ran as fast as he could. Then
there came another man, m an
other, N another"
After the child had mentioned |
seven or eight passers-by, the
teacher suggested to her that it |
was about time that somebody |
helped the man, to which she re-
piled:
"Oh, yes! BY and by a man
came along riding on a donkey.
He was good man, N his name
was Samaritan. He was t 'fraid
of feas or anything, N he just
got right off of his donkey, N
went up N said kind things to
the poor man that fell among
fleas, m gave him some medicine
Then he said he could ride on his
for he'd just as soon
walk. So S'maritan took the
man to a hotel, N told the hotel
man to take care of him till he got
all well, N he'd pay him for it.
Jesus said S'maritan was a good
neighbor to the man that fell
among heas. You told us that
we could be good neighbors to
folks if we would help anybody
who needed help, just like S'mari-
tan. Now | guess I'd better be
