Favorite Relish.
New York Sun: Director John w.
Smith of the Central Park menagerie yes
terday made a series Of experiments with
the object Of asoertaining IL the animals
of the feline family were fond Of catnip.
One Of the keepers was sent out to pick
a large bunch of fresh catnip, and with
this in his hands the director went TO
the lion house. He first placed the catnip
in the cage of a puma. The animal
snapped eagerly at 1t and exhibited all
the signs of being pleased. He chewed on
the leaves and stems, and, lying on his
back, as does the ordinary house cat,
rolled over and over on the leaves Of the
plant.
Mr.. Smith then gave q large portion to
the leopard In the mex cage, who was
watching the antics Of the puma with
much interest. The leopard was even
more demonstratiVe. He tried to roll
and covered his face and head with the
leaves. Then he rose and jumped about,
much after the fashion OF the tabby Of the
fireside.
Two lionesses then received a bunch OF
the herb. 1t was given to one of the lion
essess, who was In an outside cage. She
was much pleased, and began to frolic and
jump about the bunch with the most
graceful of leaps and lashings of the tail.
The other lioness smelled the catnip and

showed that all the animals of the cat
family liked the herb, but they did not eat
IT, as did the domestic cat.

NEW YoRK's WISE GULLs.
They Know Fish Day at Fulton Market
and the Steamer Sailing Days.

New York Sun: Every day is In n
measure n fish day at Fulton market, but
the seagulls know the chief FISH day OF
the week. 1t Is then that they feast TO
their hearts content. Their coming and
going has for years amused and interested
the ferryboat passengers, and some OF tho
latter have been observed to look up from
their papers, glance out of the cabin win
dows, catch sight OF the army Of gulls
and exClaim:
Bless me, there are the gulls. 1t is
Friday again.
The long-winged travellers of the sea are
always to be seen In the East river oppo-
site Fulton market in the daytime, but
they gather there In greater numbers on
Friday because so much refuse Is thrown
away that day. They hover over the sur
face of the water by hundreds. taking
from the water such food as Is to their
liking. They are the scavengerS of the
East river In this respect.
The intelligence of the gullS is remark
able In one way. Besides knowing which
Is the big fish day on the East river they
know the chief sailing days on the North
river.
The American line usually dispatches a
steamer for Southampton at 10 a. m.
every Wednesday. Some mute before
the ship leaves the pier the circling of the
Eulls In midstream begins. The birds
know from experience that before the
ship caves quantities Of food are thrown
from the hip ports, and they make Il
dash to recover II the moment the ship
pulls out. 1t Is amusing 10 watch one of
the gulls trying TO lift from the water a
piece Of food twice as heavy as Itself.
Sometimes these gulls will hover around
the American line pier until noon of We'd
nesday. At this hour the Red Star liner
starts for Antwerp. leaving the water of
the slip filled with discarded food. More
frequently, however, the birds will hurry
off'to the White Star line piers directly
after the American liner leaves her wharf.
The White Star steamer sails each We'd
nesday at noon.
on Saturdays and Thursdays the gulls
go to Hoboken to get what the Hamburg
American liners leave behind. These are
about the only ones that rave n fixed

Kansas City Star: She was very pretty
and the man who lived next door but one
discovered 1t. Ho conhded it TO a friend.
Ue could find no chance TO meet her and
on every OCCASION when she went out
she was accompanied by her father. The
man next door but one was anything rath-
er than II 'masher," but Invariably the
walks that he took In the evening with
his friend led past the house where tho
beauty with the fierce looking father
lived. There was some comfort In only a
lcoH, and then, besides, there was the
faint hope that just at the right moment
she might start to fall of OF the porch
and he might catch her, and SO gain q
smile and IA chance OF recognition. This
hope he also conflded to his friend.
one evening the man who would a WOO
Ing go, and the friend who accompanied
him passed the house.
There's the pere," said the friend as
they approached tho house.
And there's the peach sighed the
other.
Tho pun and the doleful way in which
1t was uttered caused the friend to burst
into a rather loud laugh. The peach
heard IL and was startled. She had been
sitting on the railing Of the porch with
one arm about a pillar and as she turned
quickly she lost her balance and would
have fallen backward to the ground. 1t
was only the distance Of three or four
feet, but she dldn't make It. The man
who had laughed jumped toward her II
caught her just as she gave a half sup
pressed scream. He did It gracefully II
set her on her feet without causing her
embarrassment.
OH! Thank you very much" she said
all In a breath, and as she said it she
smiled in q captivating way at the man
who until that m had only thought
OF her for her friends sake. She didn't
once look toward the mar who lived next
door but one.
Then the pere came rushing down the
steps. lie glared contemptuously at the
man who lived next door but one and
grasped the other mans hand warmly.
Il can't thank you enough, sir. I'm glad

But. you averted tho disaster, SIR. Let

nights planning for a chance to catch the

himself from the pere just in time to see
the man who had turn TO walk slowly
