Morgan Josephs, formerly fireman

ed suit to recover SIS, 900 from Com

The preacher held that his answer,

All the circumstances showed that the
Saviour was competent and creditable

SPARKS FROM CATS FUR.
Animals Being Asphyxiated Make
Electricity and Ignite Gas Meant
for Their Destruction.

"Can electric sparks from cats
fur blow up a gas tank?" is a question
presented by an explosion in New York
city the other day in the cat and dog
"dispatch' in the shelter Of the Soci-
ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
The "dispatch," which is a steel cage
charged with gas from the street main,
contained ten or II cats that had been
thrown in it to be asphyxiated, when it
blew up as employees were dumping an
other basketful of cats into it.
Three men were hurt, one, Theodore
Goodenough, perhaps fatally, and all
the cats were killed more or less sum-
marily.
Goodenough dumped three baskets
full Of cats into the dispatch" while
companions held one of the covers up
by means of a tackle attached to the
glass lid. The cats in these baskets
were well behaved, but basket No. 4
contained black cat. AS soon as this
animal was dropped there was flash
and bang, and a shower of cats and
men.
GoOdenOugh and his companions
were found stretched out on the floor
in litter of fragmentary cats.
The ceiling of the room in which the
dispatch" was, was torn open for sew
eral feet and frescoed 18th cats. The
horses ran away with the cat wagon,
the cats in the baskets remaining in
the wagon yowled and fought, and 80
dogs in the shelter" raised howl
that could be heard for a block.
The only explanation offered is the
suggestion that the cats, in rubbing
each other when they were being
dumped into the 'dispatch," emitted
electric sparks of sufficient intensity to
ignite the gas.

OUR HERITAGE.

'And I have given you a land for which
ye did not labor; and cities which ye bulIt
not, and ye dwell in them. Joshua 4:13
We quarrel of land and line;
We bicker of work and wage;
We trouble our souls with a doleful sign,
Forgetting our heritage
Forgetting the tireleas hands;
Forgetting the restless feet
That Jared undaunted through unknown
lands
Till the path was made complete.
The fathers-the men who dreamed.
And dreaming, were strong to dare,
To struggle ahead to the goal that cleaned,
A prize that was rich and fair.
The fatherS-the men who thought
Of all that the future held,
And, hearts uplifted essayed and wrought
All the work their dreams compelled
We pluck from the vines they set:
We walk in the ways they made;
We harvest their fields; and their forests
yet
Are giving us rest and shade.
The fathers-the men Of Old
Who builded place for US,
country .magnifcent-brave and bold
In their faith all glorious.
We quarrel and dread and doubt
Forgetting we only hold
The comfort within and the peace without
BY grace of the men Of old;
Forgetting the toll and stress,
Forgetting the bygone age.
When cities were planned in their comeli-
For future heritage.

SOME QUAINT PROVERBS.
Collection of Curious Ancient Max
inns Bearing Upon the Sub
iect of Prudence.

Take any collection of proverbs and
it will be found that they group them
selves round certain important points
of conduct, says the Liverpool Post.
Maxims of prudence, for instance, will
form a good proportions: ASK thy
purse what thou shouldst buy" Bet
ter live within compass than have large
comings in;" Beware of no man more
than thyself" "A fool loses his estate
before he finds his folly" "a grain Of
prudence is worth pound of craft. !"
The wise saws of economy are out
of fashion, but some are worth remem-
bering: THE back door robs the
house," Good cheap is dear at long
rum" "A hog upon trust grunts till he's
paid for" ''Frugality is an estate
Proverbs relating to gifts and fayors
are often happy. He that asketh
courtesy promises a Kindness" "He
that asketh family beggeth denial;"
Gratitude is the poor mans pay
ment;" "a favor i'll placed is profu
sion;" "a favor long waited for is
sold, not given" So are some of those
relating to worth: "a hog in armor is
a hog still" ''The truest gentleman is
the son of his own deserts" Or those
referring to covetousness: "a covet-
Gus man does nothing he should do
until he dies" "A man has no more
goods than he gets good by"
Many old English proverbs are very
quaint. "a dog will not howl if you
beat him with BONE" "a feast is not
made of mushrooms only" "a full cup
must be stirred steadily" "a crowd is
no company" "A wager is fools ar
gument;" He who leaves early gets
the best hat;" Fraud is in haste but
honesty can bide fair leisure" Ca max
i'm which shows 'pushfulness" in rath-
er bad Light; "A willing mind makes
a light FOOT "An old physician and
young lawyer" "An oak is not felled
at one chop" "a pound Of care will not
pay an ounce of debt" "a mans folly
should be his greatest secret" "A little
of everything is nothing in the main;"
ga mole wants no lantern;" HE has
good Judgment who relies not wholly
on his own" "The quarrelsome man
has no neighbor," and the odd but SEN
sible saying that Cooks cannot be
taught in their own kitchen"

MUSIC AND WAR.
Gentle Art That Enthuses Men Long
Associated with the Fight
ing Trade.

The gentle art of music has from
earliest times been associated with the
rude art of war Joshua threw down
the walls of an old city with the shofar
Troops march to music, they gain heart
from it, it is the solace of their leisure,
it softens the asperities of the camp,
they rise and sleep, eat and move by
call of the bugle. Many wavering
patriot, doubling if he owed the more
of himself to his country or his shop,
when war broke out, has decided for his
country when he heard the national
anthem, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the great camps, during our little
disagreement with little Spain, nothing
brought the men of the north and south
so suddenly and heartily into agree
ment as the playing of Dixie" by the
northern bands. The hOOrOar that
went up when the band of a New Eng
land or western regiment marched
through the company streets OF a
Georgia or Alabama command playing
this inspiring anthem was worth
going miles to hear. To dis
continue military music would
be to discontinue enlistments,
make the life of garrisons spiritless,
and increase desertions. There would
be little public interest in parades and
ceremonies in which there was lacking
the magnificent uproar of a dozen
bands playing in different times and
keys. And without public interest you
cannot maintain an army.
And again, without military bands
to serve as training schools and to
gather musicians together, the cause of
music itself would suffer. AS Saint
Saens declares. the concerts by military
bands have part in popular education.
They furnish the only good music that
the masses hear. They cannot afford
the opera, but they hear excerpts from
it in the parks and on the streets, and
enjoy them even better than our audi
ences enjoy the stage performance.
To thousands in the tenements the
evening and holiday concerts in the
public squares are a delight and a re-
lief from the dull hard routine that Is
their daily life. Whatever France may
do about it. and we doubt the report
that France is to do away with military
bands, we believe and hope that it will
be a long day before the band-even the
gutter band-disappears from among
