Our pet cat had three kittens Of
which she was particularly fond. One
OF them was unusually active and mis-
chievous and much given to climbing
up fenceposts, walls and trees.
one morning heard a pItful little
cat cry up in a tall cherry tree, and on
examination found that the mischiey-
Gus kitten was near the top OF the tree,
clinging to branch. and its cries
showed that it was frightened and
afraid to come down.
Sitting on the ground little distance
of was the mother cat, looking as If
she was thinking what she ought TO do
TO get her kitten out Of its trouble.
Suddenly she seemed to have made up
her mind. for she ran quickly up the
tree 20 where the kitten was, and,
pausing there a moment as If to fix the
kittens attention OH what she was do
ing. she began to descend the tree
slowly and carefully She was show
ing the kitten the easiest way to get
down.
When she reached the ground, she
sat down and looked up at the kitten,
calling to II with soft, entreating cries,
and the kitten, as if understanding ex-
actly what was expected Of II, came
down just as the mother had done

The Sunbeam Bird.

OF all birds the tiny humming birds
are the most lovely. They look like an
mated Jewels as they dart about from
flower to flower In the sunshine. As is
so often the case with birds OF beauti-
full plumage. they have no song to
speak Of Moreover they are as quar-
relsome as the saucy sparrOws, fighting
with their mates as we'll as strangers.
They are very inquisitiye, too their Gu
riosity often getting them into trouble
and sometimes even into the collectors
net. Like most wild things. they can
not bear captivity and usually pine
away and die when Gagged. Because
they are such exquisite creatures the
South American Indians call them by
the pretty names Of the beams and
locks of the sun.

perlntendent, rs one who is lazy, with
out ambition, inclined TO waywardness
and more or less beyond the control Of
his parents or guardian"
The purpose of the farm is to make
good men of such boys. 1t is a big
farm of 1000 acres. The institution is
known as the Berkshire Industrial
farm. and it is supported in a large
measure by benevolent and philan-
thropic people The boys are taught
the common branches. such as are
found in the higher grades Of common
schools. a half a day is given TO study
and a half a day to manual work. Inc
rising bell rings at $50. and each boy
must be in the dormitory within 10
minutes thereafter. After breakfast
the hours until II are devoted to les
sons. At 1870 work is resumed, and IN
the evening there are recreation ana
services in the chapel Nine O'Clock

The boys can earn pocket money 10y

credited 10 them and their bad is deb
tied. Those who by their conduct get in
debt to the farm lose certain privileges,
have TO eat their meals AT the punish
ment table. where butter, sugar and
dessert are unknown and apple pie can
only be dreamed about
There is an abundance of proof from
the records kept OF boys who have
been discharged from the institution
that 1t makes a wonderful improve

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat Of an almost end
less variety Of diseases They are known
by various names, but are ali due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that initiate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations Of
arsenic aud potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,

NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.
The Board Of Internal improvements Fails to
Appoint Directors.

The Board of Internal improvements,
composed OF Governor Aycock chairman;
b. c. Beckwith and B. w. Ballard, met
yesterday morning in the Executive office.
1t was expected that this board would
appoint the eight directors and a States
proxy for the North Carolina Railroad
bur reading OF the charter raised some
doubt as to the right of the board to
do this. Though The Code, in general
terms, expressly confers on the board the
power to appoint directors for all property
in which the State owns an interest, Sec
tion 43 of the charter of the North Caro-
lima Railroad provides: "That the State
shall appoint number of directors in
said company, in proportion to the stock
subscribed, who shall be appointed by the
Governor, by and with the advice and
consent of his council, and removed in
like manner
In view of this provision it was deemed
best for the Governor to make the ap-
pointments, though canvass Of the
names proposed for the places was made
and candidates discussed by the members
OF the board. 1t is understood that the
directorate and officers for the road were
thus practically agreed on and it was ex-
pected that they would be appointed yes
terday afternoon. Such was not done,
however, though the Governor announced
that the appointments would be made be-
tween now and the 18th. when the stock
holders meet in Greensboro.
The board decided to leave here next
Friday for further examination of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad.
This will be made by Messrs. Beckwith
and Ballard the Governor being unable
to go. After their inspection the mem
bers of the board will write report of
the roads condition which will be handed
to the Governor. who will then appoint
directors and States proxy.
