Cats Like Il.

Our English mammals are nearly all
capable of sheltering themselves from
rain, most of them being burrowing crea-
lures. and Others, like the squirrels and
doormice, able to take shelter in hollow
trees. Cats positive enjoy a wet June
on account of the number of drenched
and helpless young sparrows and
thrushes which they can catch. Even a
London cat will catch three or four be-
numbed young sparrows in Il day. Lev
erets, unfortunately, suffer good deal,
and though rabbits have shelter avail
able the wet grass disagrees with them.
Lambs are too forward for such late
rains TO affect them, and even wnen
quite young seem almost waterproof. We
doubt if rain ever penetrates to the skin
of a sheep, so full of oil and grease is the
wool Even cattle have a quantity of oil
and lubricant on their skin. 1t is said
that oXen's harness never gets rusty
Horses. on the other hand, are miserable
in continued wet.-LOndon Spectator.

THE DANGER AT FIRES.
Rot Confined to Men Who Scale the Lad
ders or Attendants of the
Putting Engines.

There is an almost inexplicable fasci-
nation in the sight of a battery of glisten-
ing ire engines at work ON a serious
blaze. Some persons are but mildly af-
fected; others cannot resist the impulse
to go where the excitement is greatest
and where danger is most certain.
But whether charmed or merely drawn
by curiosity, all who stand about near
a burning building are in danger of their
lives. The fact that a pair of firemen
stand close to pulling engine when the
steam gauge registers many pounds
pressure on the boiler is not surety that
mere Is no danger. No more so than
because fireman climbs to a dizzy
height upon trembling ladder and does
not fall. The men at the engine and the
man on the ladder take their lives in
their hands in the performance of duty
Hard to Keep Public Out of Danger.
Boilers sometimes explode and ladders
often fall. Walls topple and lives and
limbs are lost. Even the harmless look
ing cheInlcaI ire eXtinguisher is a source
of danger. But the public rarely thinks
Of this in time of fire and the efforts of
the pOiIce force are sometimes inefficient
IN Keeping the crowds back of the danger
line.
A portable chemical fre-extinguisher
exploded in Quincy, ILL.,, recently ana
fireman was badly injured. The query
arises, How much danger ordinarily at
taches to the use of such apparatus?
The manufacturers of this form of fir,
apparatus ISSUED a statement after the
explosion in effect that this was the first
accident of the kind to happen. although
10000 have been sold This may be
true of the brand sold by this particular
concern, but it is not the first time in
the history of the portable chemical APP
paratus that accident has occurred. In
milwaukee, Ad0lph Meyer. fireman.
lost his life while carrying chemical
extlngusher up q ladder The accident
happened at fire on Poplar street be-
tween Third and Fourth streets in 1894.
Meyer bore the eXtinguisher under his
arm when the tank exploded, causing
a gaping wound in the fireman's side.
This was the only accident of this kind
in the Milwaukee department, but it
proves that there is danger, apart from
flame and smoke.

Chief Foley of the Milwaukee fire dapart-
ment declares that no chemical apparatus
should be permitted to remain in service
that length of time. The rough hand
ling the tanks receive, strapped on the
rear end of "A hose wagon or on the side

or the lining. The chemical within then
attacks the metal and an explosion may
easily occur.
1t has been suggested that the safest
course would be to subject the apparatus

A Grand Rabbi Burial.

Most extraordinary scenes took place
III Iunis yesterday, on the occasion OF
the burial of Mouchi Berrebi, the late
grand rabbi of the Jews of the protec-
torate. Hebrew traditions are kept to
the letter of the law in Tunis, especially
as regards funerals. About 5000 Jews
of all classes thronged round the funeral
car. endeayoring to touch the body of the
dead dignitary Of the synagogue. The
crush was enormous, and as the body
had several times fallen out of its place,
the police TOOK charge of the funeral, and
III strong force escorted the car to the
cemetery. Here further trouble arose,
ms a lot of people wanted to throw earth
into the pillowcase which was to be
placed under the head of the grand rabbi
in his tomb. The police succeeded. with
great difficulty, in preserving order, and
with the help of the fifteen voluntary
gravediggers, the body, in its white
shroud, was taken from the car and
consigned to the earth. Before ii waa
carried down there was a final rush of
people, who wanted to kiss the shroud.
Many also struggled to descend into the
grave for the purpose of saluting the
corpse for the last time but they were
driven back by sheer force. During the
burial, which was quickly effected owing
to the crowds, women in the cemetery
pierced the air with their heartrending
walls. The explanation of these extra
ordinary scenes is that the Jews of
Tunis considered that their grand rabbi
had died a saint, or. as the phrase is
among Catholics, in the odor of sancti7
try, and that whoever helped to carry the
body. kissed it, or even touched the
shroud of fine linen enveloping it. re-
ceived pardon for sins committed and
promises of heaven.-LOndon Telegraph.

Crabs that Hunt Rabbits.

Catching rabbits with a crab is q
favorite pastime Of the country boys
In the lands lying on the English
coast. One would think q mouse trap
and a bit Of cheese would be saner
method, but 1t isn't. The way they
work 1t is this:
A large, lively crab is caught on the
shore and pressed into service. From
a lighted candle hot grease Is dropped
ON the back o. the crustacean and the
candle stuck upright In this way on
the shell. As soon as the grease hold.
ing the candle has hardened firmly the
crab is placed In one end Of a rabbit
burrow, mt the other end Of which
there IL net. The rabbits. seeing the
strange looking crea 'ure coming to-
ward them sideways with a lighted
candle on its back become terrified
and bolt out to be caught In the net
Of the hunters. In due time the crab
also emerges and Is caught and placed
In the mouth Of another burrOw to
scare out other rabbits This continues
until the boys have bagged all the rab.
bits they want. II the crab proves
himself lively and works hard In their
behalf the hunters generally restore
him to the sea after the nights sport
Is over.
