She murmured:

Saved Life by EATING Tail.

Workmen building new house at
First and Neil avenues have been wor-
ried over a noise they have heard in
the plastered wall of the structure.
They became nervous and tore the
wall out to ascertain the cause.
Here they found a cat, still alive
but worn to skeleton and the strange
part of the affair was that the cat had
eaten her tail off bit by bit to sustain
life during the three weeks she had;
been prisoner. Stf
The feline had evidently strayed into
the space between the plastering the
night before the flooring was nailed
on, and had been there until discov-

circlina the Cane.

Ask some one to take a position In
the middle of the room. Give him a
stout cane and tell him to stand the
cane on the floor and bend over and
press his forehead against the canes
handle. Let him catch hold of the
cane with his right hand foot or two
below the handle and rest his left
hand, closed, on his left knee. Ask
him to stand thus for two or three
minutes, then to move slowly around
the cane, still retaining the same at
titude. He will not be able to keep
up this circulr motion very long, for
a strange giddiness will gradually
overcome him, and his only hope OF
safety will lie in his staggering to
some piece of furniture which he can
grasp.
