1t is not anger alone that makes
cats arch their backs; indeed, when
two cats are preparing to fight they
do not assume this attitude, but
crouch low, just as they do when
about to spring on their prey, the
body being extended, and the hair
not in the least erect.
1t is noticeable that cat will also
arch its back when in an affectionate
frame of mind, rubbing itself against
its masters leg. At the same time it
slightly raises its fur and holds its
tail erect. Its whole attitude is just
the reverse of that which it assumes
when savage. Darwin accounts for
this in the following words: Certain
states of mind lead to certain habitual
actions which are of no service. Now,
when q directly opposite state of mind
is induced there is strong and invol-
untary tendency to the performance
of q movement of directly opposite
nature. though it ray be of no SER
vice"

THE HOMlNC INSTINCT:
Ability of Various Birds and Animals to
Find Their Way Home.


The homing instinct develops in
young ANIMALS almost as early as the
desire for food. In the wild state it
is necessity, since without it the
young could never keep in touch with
herd or pack. Even after centuries
of domestication it is still acute.
Witness this tale of little pigs: They
were under month old when their
owner decided to move. He wanted
to fatten and kill their mothers, so
offered the lot Of forty ct bargain.
price. A EeighboR five miles away
bought the pigs, put them in big
box, hoisted the box on wagon and
hauled it home. There the pigs were
put in closed pen, fed on milk and
mush for two weeks, then allowed to
run in n small lot adjacent the pen.
Three mornings later every one was
missing. A small hole carefully rooted
under the gate was the sole explana-
ton of their disappearance. Their
buyer searched high and low for them,
sending even to adjacent farms, but
could not find them. That afternoon
the original owner sent word he had
found thirty nine of the forty stand
ing squealing at his gate when he
awoke. The buyer going to reclaim
the strays, found the missing fortieth
pig lying exhausted by the roadside,
still struggling to follow the trail of
its mates.
Upon the same middle Tennessee
plantation four year mare was
bought from an Ohio drove. The
drove had been brought down on
stock cars to the county town, seven
miles away. The mare seemed per-
fectly content in her new surround
ings, so after week or two she was
allowed to pasture with other stock.
For day she was happy, grazing and
frolicking with the rest. Toward
noon of the second day watcher saw
her suddenly fling up her head, cock
one ear forward, one back, as though
listening intently to a far off. call,
then start in q swinging gallop for the
pasture fence, clear it with flying
leap, cross field of young corn, take
the boundary fence, much sitter one,
and go away due north. Nothing more
was seen or heard of her for three
months. Then by singular chance
she was discovered, impounded as an
estray, more than half way across the
State of Kentucky. She had swum o
considerable river to get so far, and
had been taken up, through breaking
into pasture to Craze. She was 60
ing home straight as the crow flies,
making no account whatever of the
bends and turns in the route by which
she had been fetcked.
Among fowls, domestic turkeys are
the most persistent homers. This
same plantation's mistress found that
out in way at once odd and provok-
ing. Size raised brood of fourteen,
which tarned out to contain thirteen
gobblers. They were fine lusty bronze
brown fellows, although this was in
the year when bronze turkeys, so.
called, were unknown. She gave
away seven out of the thirteen to as
many neighbors, to put at the head of
their breeding focks. AS q conse.
quence, almost every day for six weeks
she had to go out and help to sepa-
rate her own turkeys from some other
flock. Each of the gift gobbblers
came back home, not once but many
times, with his harem at his heels.
Cats are provcrbial homers.

WOMAN ON THE BIKE
tome Rules That the Fair Sex shoald
Follow In Riding.

One of the first requisites, whether
the rider be delicate or strong, is mod
Grafton. Riding for speed subverts the
very end of the exercise-it is like row.
ing or running or doing anything else
for speed, it finally conquers the con-
queror-and the most sickcning, har-
rowing sight is the continuous race.
The association of wheelmen should do
all in their power to suppress these
public exhibitions Of human idiocy.
Another essential, especially for wo-
men, is an appropriate dress, and there
Is no law against a gentleman also
being appropriately dressed. never
could understand why it was necessary
that man should wear the garb OF
a circus clown in order to ride wheel.
In the past year or two the women
have come nobly to the rescue in the
matter of genteel dress. The short
hair, the bloomer, and the chewing
gum have well nigh disappeared. The
plain cloth, medium length, medium
the further advantage and economy OF
being good rainy day gown for walk
ing. Another essential is to learn how
to ride. Many are riding without this
knowledge. There are few mechanical
principles to be observed. One Is to
have the gearing 80 arranged as to
have the pedals on level with the
foot when the foot is extended. An
other Is to have the saddle so placed
as to bring the weight of the body d.
rectly over the pedal when the latter
is at its lowest point. Still another is
to lower the handle bars sufficiently to
allow the body to bend forward slight
ly from the hips-not STOPPING from
the shoulders, thereby compressing tho
lungs. Nearly all beginners bend the
spine backward from the hips. AS
rule, young children, IL the gearing
Finally the rider should sit, as in
chair, upon the bones or tuberosities of
the pelvis, and should on no account,
allow the weight of the body to rest
upon the tissues situated between
these bony prominences. Indeed, the
ahhSCi vi ocilouo iiJui ~
children and adults from riding sad
die constructed in ignorance OF cor
rect anatomical principles is so great
that it is always wise to refer the sad
die question to competent physician.
Besides the very important question OF
saddle is that of the wheel itself. 1t
must be thoroughly we'll made, Of the
best material, and 1t must not be too
light. Too light wheel gains no
momentum to speak of, while the jar
ring and vibration are very disagree
able, II not injurious. There must be
a certain weight and solidity. Finally,
the wheel by it's economy Of money
and time permits the rider to avail
himself Of new scenes and places, CIV
ing pleasurable sensations, the absence
of which in exercise for the sake OF
health alone is the reason why health
seldom responds to the call OF Such
perfunctory exercise. The heart is not
in it.-Leslie's Weekly.

yer. you may take your scissors and
cut out the adhesive stamp and stick 1t
fast to your new envelope with muci-
lage, notwithstanding the adhering
piece OF the old envelope. 1t does not
look nice and may become detached in

an adhesive 2-cent stamp, undertakes
for such consideration TO transport
and deliver to destination the letter to
which it is affixed. The fact that it has

was formerly attached, does not relieve
the government from executing its
part of the contract when the letter is
deposited for mailing, the stamp being
otherwise perfect"
