CATS AND WHITE RABBITS.
An Illustrative Instance of the Dis
like Entertained by the Former
for the Latter.

"Cats. for some reason, do not seem
to be very fond of white rabbits" said
a man who has just made trip over
to Bay st. Louis, states the New Or
leans Times-DemOcrat, land | came
upon a very striking example of ii dur
ing my visit over to the bay. One Of
the prominent families Of the popular
resort has a pet white rabbit. He is
the idol of the family, and really re-
ceives more consideration than he
would if he were a human being. Some
one is always doing something. for him
to make life more pleasant, but he is
not spoiled at that, and is wonder
fully well-behaved fellow.
LAST week the family decided to add
a rather pretty and promising kitten
TO the household. The feline member
was several weeks old, being able to
get around with considerable agility.
He was very playful, and the members
of the family naturally concluded that
the kitten would make a good compan-
ion for the white rabbit. In a short
while rabbit and kitten were thrown
together The rabbit blinked his pink
eyes curiouslS for few seconds, and

over toward the kitten, as if bent on
assuring the feline that she was wei

drawing herself up into. a bow, after
cat fashion, and making grimaces OF a
threatening kind, and splitting with no
small show of violence. The rabbit
did not understand this maneuvering.
and after a meditative survey of the
situation hoped toward the kitten
again in a more friendly and more
playful mood.
"The kitten broke out into a fear
full rage. and it was perfectly evident
that the rabbit was somewhat
alarmed. He made no effort to retreat.

kitten finally scampered back into the

AUTHOR AS PIG CHARMER.
How He Saved an Old WOman's Cow
and Was Himself Saved by
the Old Woman.

That versatile author, Rev. Sabine
Baring-Gould tells many amusing
anecdotes concerning life in his little
Cornish parish, relates London NJ. A.
p. One of these, which is Intensely
characteristic of the superstitious but
good-natured Cornish folk, is worthy
of being rescued from oblivion. An
old lady, one of Mr. Gould's parishion-
ers. came to him one day and earnestly
besought him to come and see her
"ow'd zow," which, she said, was very
bad" The author of "Mehalah" pro-
tested, and said that he could do the
poor animal no good, for he was par
son, not a veterinary surgeon. But
the old soul persisted that if he came
and said ga few words" over the pig
it might recover. To pacify her, Mr..
Barring Gould hied him to the pigsty,
where the old SOW lay painting in the
last throes of death. Entering the
sty. with mock reverence he marched
round the pig, and in a sepulchral
voice uttered the words: 80 pig, If
thou livest thou Invest; but, 0 pig,
if thou diest thou diest." And, strange
to say, the pig got better, much to
the delight of the old lady, who put
implicit faith in the efficacy of the
'few words" the parson said.
In after days the scene was changed.
Baring-Gould lay on a bed of suffer-
ing. nigh unto death. No one, not
even the members of his own fam
ilv. was allowed to see him. The doc
tors were consulting in low tones, and
expressing the conviction that the
ouinsy would soon carry the author to
the better land. Suddenly the front
door bell was vigorously handled, and
the servant angrily answered the i'm
patient stranger. An old lady having
heard that the parson was i'll, and was
not likely to recover, wished-nay, de-
manded-to see him. Declaring that
she could cure the parson, she pushed
the servant aside and made her way
to the room in which the patient was
lying. Her noisy entrance disturbed
him, but when she repeated, with aw-
1ul solemnity: 80 parson, if thou liv-
est thou Invest; but, o parson, if thou
diest thou diest!". he was reminded Of
the other occasion on which the form
ula was used. and burst into uncon-
trollable laughter which "broke" the
uuinsy. That is how, as Mr.. Barring
Gould loves to say, he was saved by
| n Lien. -

A REASONABLE EXCUSE.
The Student Wanted Very Much to
See "His Folks" and the Dean
Let Him or.

Prof Briggs, whom President Eliot
called the "well-be Ayed dean of Har-
ward college," has lately resigned his
deanship. He is known beyond aca-
demic circles for his charming, humor-
Gus book, school, College and Char
acter" The spirit of this book, its
sympathetic and kind understanding
of young men, and its great faith in
them, is the spirit that has directed all
his dealings with the students. a char
acteristic story has been recently told
of him, says Youths Companion.
Shortly before the April recess
student went to him and asked permis-
sion to leave Cambridge three days
before the recess began.
"But, Mr. Molesworth, you know
that, though we might let you go any
other time, the administrative board
is very particular that men shall not
leave before a recess, and that they
shall register promptly on the first
day after the recess"
81 know, sir, but my mother and
sister and a friend of hers and my two
brothers will sail from New York day
after tomorrow, and as they are to be
gone nearly year, I'd like to see them
off"
I'm very sorry" said the dean, with
his gentle smile, "but it would be
breaking the rules to let you 60"
The student looked very much crest
fallen, and stammered: "But you
know, sir, it's pretty hard. I haven't
seen-seen my people for some time
and I won't see them now for almost
almost year, sir"
DR.. Briggs smiled again and shook
hR head. The student left, his head
bent forward in unconcealed disap-
pointment.
He had hardly reached the outer
door of the building when the dean
came running after him.
"Mr. Molesworth!"
The dean took him by the arm and
drew him into a corner of the hall

girl, are your"

barrassed surprise.
eyes, sir, I am"
"Ahl Well, that alters the case.
Why didn't you tell me? You may sign
off to-day"
Then Mr. Briggs returned to his office
and examined some weighty academic
document with great gravity, yet with
twinkling eyes.

IN HOUsEKEEPERS' REALM.
A Variety of Suggestions Regarding
Matters in the Culinary
Department

Black bass with sweet peppers is an
excellent summer dish. Split the bass,
have the backbone removed, season
with pepper and salt, sprinkle with
melted butter, and brOil. When serv-
ing have ready some sliced sweet Span
ish peppers fried in oil, and with these
garnish the fish.
When buttering pans, Dario molds.
cake tins, or anything which requires
greasing, use a small, fiat briste paint
brush 1t costs ten cents, and if kept
clean will last for years, says the Bos-
ton Budget.
Cold soda biscuits can be dipped
quickly in water and heated through.
or they may be sliced thinly, toasted
crisply and served with coffee. Cold
mullins ,are good split and toasted.
Cold Johnnycake, sliced thin, makes
sweet, crisp toast for breakfast.
Do not throw away the salt left in
the ice cream pail after freezing. Pour
It into a colander and shake the water
from it and leave it there till it dries,
then return to the bag to be used again.
You will be surprised to find nearly
pint of salt saved after the freezing
of couple of quarts of cream.
If you have no fat at hand in which
to fry croquettes, roll them pyramid
shaped, set them on their broad base
in baking pan, pour tablespoon of
melted butter over each one and bake
in hot oven till crisp and brown.
1t will take from 10 to IS minutes to
cook them.
Iced peaches appropriately begin
hot weather luncheon. The peaches
are not to be frozen, but kept on the
Ice after they are halved, peeled and
sprinkled with sugar, until they are
thoroughly chilled A small spoonful
of whipped cream may be served with
them if that combination is liked.
A. change from the tomato sauce
usually served with Dreaded lamb
chops, try an onion sauce made in
this way: Slice two, or If very small,
three onions, and cook them in water
for few moments and drain. Put
them into just enough boiling water
TO cover, and add a little salt, and cook
until tender. Cook together two table,
spoonfuls each of -four and butter, and
when perfectly smooth add one-half
pint stock, Three or four tablespoon
fuls--of cream, and one saltspoonful
each of salt and sugar and dash OF
cayenne. When the onion is tender
