CAT BITES.
The Danger Resultant TherefrOm-
The Big Cat Show in Philadelphia
the Present Month.

In the case of cat bite, the danger
comes from the little unclean crust
which forms on the teeth of all ami
mails, unless they are cared for, and it
is this which causes the blood poison
ing If the bite is properly cleaned
and cautterized the danger Of the bite
may be avoided
The snaKe-like Kissing Of cats is
thought to be a survival Of the times
when cats adopted the means Of max
ing othre animals who would invade
their den believe them to be reptiles
A cat will do the most frightful acts of
cruelty not only to other animals of
other kinds, but to other cats. We
have known cats to devour kittens alive
and a sick and weak cat is a mark
to a stronger cat that wishes to en-
joy a little cruelty without fear Of
reprisals.
A more positive danger in the pres
ence of cat comes from the fact that
they carry the germs of disease from
sick rooms and communicate them to
other cats which in turn carry them
to their homes.
There is a case on record where the
greatest havoc Of life was caused by a
cat carrying smallpox germs from one
family to another, nearly fifty persons
dying from being inoculated with the
germs carried by the animal, after
coming a distance Of over two hundred
miles.
Notwithstanding their treacherous
qualities, cats have never been 30 pop
ular among womankind as they are
at the present day. The Ladies Ken
mel Club, one OF the smartest and most
exclusive organizations in England Of
which Queen Alexandria is president,
has lately ordered an annex to its
building for the housing OF handsome
and pedigreed cats. A large cat show
held in Windsor Castle to raise money
in aid Of Princess Christians nurses
home, over 200 specimens Of such mag
nicent specimens OF cats were exhib-
tied.
Princess Christians daughter, Prin-
cess Victoria, OF Schleswig Holstein,
had on exhibition three splendid mall
tese. Lady Marcus Beresford was an
other successful exhibitor, and several
prizes we're taken by some handsome
Siamese cats belonging to Lily, Ouch
c-s OF Marlborough.
A big cat show will be held in
Philadelphia on December 28th, at the
Philadelphia museum, at which the
best known Philadelphians will place
their favorite pussies on exhibition.

But little rest te gets. His wife, who on this trip, as on her previous ones, has laid money from East Greenbush and vicin in a stock of Virot and Worth purchas- es and is dying to show her brilliant new dresses and equipment, totes George about to society events and gives him little chance to see the mas terpieces of art which his cultivated taste enjoys. The glimpses of life in high society and of Mrs. Nashs efforts to shine in swell events and to culti- vate swell people are very bright and entertaining. A great revelation comes to Mrs Nash at last.

clever novel, bright and attractive from to a new Adam and Eve, or perhaps we should say last man and woman. who owing to a great cataclysm of nature are the only human beings left in a lit- tie world of their own, which is all that remains of our globe. As is finely said of the story in the New York Mail and Express: "A living question of human life Is asked in this most unusual and poetic story. A man and q woman find themselves left on on a mountain peak, an island lifted above an overwhelm- ing sea, a cataclysm of nature having wrecked the world. Like Campbell's s Last Man. they have creations death beheld as Adam saw it's prime. It is not literally creations death; the sun has not grown cold, although the old earth is swallowed by the ocean; there are still vegetable and animal life on their Atlantis-like peak The author has, with mingled navete and ingenui- ty, conceived the situation in modern terms. The man and woman are possi- ble and life-like Americans, with culti- vated tastes and entire knowledge of the world; they find themselves strand- ed after the shipwreck of this globe, on a high peak of the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific ocean washing the western, and the Atlantic the eastern shores of their island. They find cabin where scientific man, who knew that the cataclysm was coming, had sent a great many useful things, books and q violin among them, They do not open the boxes containing all these things until Christmas, and first occupy them selves with all sorts of tasks, making for themselves a house and a garden cooking and planting, using the foods that the cabin contained, but as fast as may be growing others for their Good.
 It is more than a year before they give up hope of rescue from a possi- ble outside world. Then the man tells the woman that he loves her, and here the reader is brought face to face with that "master-knot of human fate" which was not unraveed in old Persia, nor modern England:

 But not the Master-knot of Human
 Fate.
 The story bears traces of strong imagination, but, thanks to plenty of perfectly apparent crudities, both in expression and in philosophy, the read CT must take the intention without ade- quacy of execution. There is cleverness in calling the man Adam, and in mak- ing the modern Eve in the high garden one who knew her Emerson as well as she knew how to bake hoecake, who could play on the violin or sing as per- fectly as she could scrub the cabin, or ride on a mountain burro saved from the flood. It is not a story of much distinction of form, but 1t is one to give enjoyment to all readers who like to
