WAS SPOILED BY SUCCESS.
Beaear Woman Like Many Other
Members of Society.


julius Chambers tells in the Reader
how in 1887, while he was editing q
paper In Paris, he conceived the idea
OF putting on his editorial staff an
DID beggar woman who had two wood
en- legs and who was a well-known
sight on the boulevard. So he paid,
her a regular SALARY and had brilliant
interviews written with leading men
and women of Paris which he pub
l!shed over the signature "The Little
Old Woman on Two Sticks" He says:
1T soon became a matter of pride
among English and Americans to
know the wretched creature who had
become so famous. Money was show
cred upon her by American and Eng
fish visitors who had not fathomed
the humor of the situation and verita-
bly, accepted the inference that the
beggar was on speaking acquaintance
with all the notables of Paris. The
episode finally developed into farce
because the old woman's vanity was
reused by the attention notoriety
brought her. She could not read Eng
fish. knew nothing about the contents
OF the articles and actually fattered
herself into the belief that she pos
sessed physical attraction for the
generous-hearted men who gave her
aims or patted her tenderly on the
shoulder. Like many another useful
member OF society, she was spoiled by
success and one day struck for higher
wages"

TAiLLEss CATS OF MANx.
Belief That They Originally Came
from Cornwall.

from Cornwall.
IL seems probable that the tailless
Manx cats originally came from Corn
wall. They managed to survive longer
az distinct breed in the Isle OF Man
than in Cornwall, the predominance
of the common tailed cat being, OF
course, aided in the latter district by
the fact that, although remote, 1t Is
part Of the mainland of England,
whereas new cats could be carried to
the Isle OF Man only by sea. The
Manx cat which first attracted mod
ern attention was very different
animal from the variously col
ored specimens which now take prizes
at cat shows. 1t was always OF the
color of a hare and had fur like q
hare. Like a hare, too, it always
moved its hind legs together. Its
chief food was crabs caught on the
beach and when transported inland
from the seacoasts it very seldom, IL
ever, survived long. No cat Of this
kind has been seen for many years
In the Isle of Man, though there are
plenty OF tailless cats, its crossed de-
scendants, to be purchased there.
Wherever it originally came from, the
Cornish or Manx cat was more nearly
separate species than any kind OF
show cat now existing. II was sea-
coast animal, with fur, color, absence
Of tail and method of locomotion OBJ
viously adapted by the inheritance Of
ages to its habit of catching crabs and
other small life behind the ebbing tide.

Tree Said TO Attain Age Of Thou
sand Years.
Most of the timber of the South AT
rican interior consists Of various kinds
Of thorny acacia, one Of the handsom-
est of which is the spreading giraffe
acacia, or kameel-doorn. Here and
there is to be seen the gigantic bao-
bah, invariably called by the colonists
the cream of tartar" tree. These
enormous trees are found in the low
veldt Their timber-if timber it can
be called-consists of soft. spongy
growth, quite useless to any one. The
bark, however, is used by the natives
for making kind of strong cord,
which is effected after submitting its
fibers to due soaking and heavy
pounding. fIo harm is done to the
tree by this stripping of the bark; in
deed, the baobab seems to defy time
and all other kinds Of enemies. 1t is
one of the most long-liyed vegetables
in the world and a well-grown speci-
men is estimated by scientists to at
tain to the age of at least 1000 years.
A fair-sized baobab will measure at a
height of three feet from the ground
as much as eighty-fve or ninety-feet
In circumference. The roots some
times extend forty or fifty yards from
the trunk.
