Veneration of the Feline.

The Egyptians made gods of many
living creatures of all kinds, among
others the bull, the crocodile, the ibis,
the hawk, the beetle and the asp; but
the cat appears to have held the high
est place in their hearts. Not only
was it preserved from injury, beloved
and venerated during life, but at it's
death it was buried with all respect,
and every one mourned for it with out
ward and visible signs of grief, even
to the extent of shaving off their eye.
brows... The Egyptians idea Of a cor
rect burial involved naturalization,
so that all the parts might be pre-
served and thus kept from >annihila-
ton against the day Of resurrection.
A rich mans cat was very deliberately
mummified. Different colored stuffs
were twisted round and round the
body, forming curious patterns in two
colors. The head would be carefully
encased nd sometimes gilded; the ears
were always standing upright These
curious mummies look something like
bottles Of rare wine done up III plated
straw. Sometimes the mummy would
be-. inclosed lin q bronze box with a
statue of a cat seated on the top. Is :.

How Yeast Works.

The growth of the yeast plant is so
rapid that it's individual cells can be
seen under the miscroscope to spring
up as buds upon the parent cell and
to grow to full size, these presently to
give off buds themselves that ex-
pand in like manner. In the case of
the yeast plant the cells remain at
tached to each other and thus form
branches of elongated cells fixed end
to end. In other cases the buds drop
off, so that the plant never takes any
definite shape, but remains as mass
of free cells, - :,
If a new cell be formed every min
ute by each of the cells present, you
may calculate the number that will be
produced in an hour Thus at the end

Enoch Arden in Real Life.

enoch Arden in Real Life.
Cases of Enoch Arden in real life
are not very frequent, but one &C.
casionally appears. And the latest is
in Connecticut. Five years ago
Jacob Watrous was forced by poverty
to leave home in the search of fortune.
He found his way to the Klondike and
recently made rich strike. Waiting
only long enough to realize a large
sum of money, he returned to Meriden
to- join his wife and boy. He was
driven to his former, home in car
riage at night, with the intention Of
surprising his wife. Listening at the
door he heard his intimate friend Tur-
ner call young Jacob to supper. The
lad replied, Eyes, papa" in tilial
tone. Making inquiries, Watrous
learned that his wife, hearing of his
death, had married his friend and was
happy. At once resolving not to inter-
fere with her happiness, sWatrous left
the place with the intention of going
back to the Klondike. He urged those
with whom he had spoken not to let
the fact of his being alive become
known to his wife, but of course, there
were some who could not refrain from
giving voice to SO sensational mat
ter.

Antediluvian Flying Machines.

Antedluvian Flying Machines.
No animal combines all the most
favorable conditions for flying ma;
chine-weight, power, spread of wings,
etc. The birds with the greatest
spread are not the strongest, and the
most powerful are not those of the
longest fight.
The frigate bird is, perhaps, the bird
which lives most in the air, yet it's
muscles are relatively weak and it
owes it's pre-eminence more to skill
than to muscle.
The albatross has a maximum
weight of eight Kilograms and a spead
of wing of 81 metres, but the width
of wing is relatively small, so that
the wing surface is not above TO of a
square metre, which is much less than
that of the condor or the California
vulture.
We must go back to extinct crea.
lures to discover the best-designed
flying machine. The pterodactyls,
huge flying reptiles, which lived in the
cretaceous. period, had wings 2 7-10
metres long, but small, narrow bodies
and very light bones, much lighter
than those of birds. The total weight
of their bodies has been estimated at
about IL kilograms, so that their flight
must have been as easy as that of
the butterfy.-New York Sun.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Some Plain Truths Divulged by "self-
made Merchant.

Some Plain Truths Divulged by "self.
made Merchant.
Boys are constantly writing me for
advice about how to succeed, and
when send them my receipt they say
that / am dealing out commonplace
generalities. OF course am, but
that's what the receipt calls for, and
If a boy will take these commonplace
generalities and knead them into his
job, the mixture1l be cake.
Once a fellows got the primary
business virtues cemented into his
character, he's safe to build on. But
when a clerk crawls into the Office in
the morning like a sick setter pup,
leaps from his stool at night with the
spring of a tiger, I'm afraid that if I
sent him to take charge of branch
house he wouldn't always be around
when customers were. He's the sort
of a chap who would hold back the
sun an hour every morning and have
it gain two every afternoon if the
Lord would give him the same discre-
tionary powers that He gave Joshua.
And have noticed that he's the fellow
who invariably takes a timekeeper as
an insult. He's pretty numerous in
business Offices; in fact, if the glance
of the human eye could affect a clock
face in the same way that mans
country cousins affect their city well
come, should have to buy a new
timepiece for the Office every morn

of it. r..*r...r ~. ~,

Carroll D. Wright, United States
Commissioner. of Labor, and one of
the best statisticians in the country, if
not in the world, gravely stated in
Faneuil Hall Wednesday night that
the average wage of the American
workingman was $445 a year. The
number Of workingmen was so great,
he continued, that an enormous in
crease would be- required to bring the
average UP to 1886 a year. The audi

The prisoner, a faded, battered
specimen of mankind, on whose hag-
gard face, deeply lined with the marks
of dissipation, there still fingered faint
reminders of better days long past,
stood dejectedly before the Judge.
Where are you from?" asked the
magistrate.
From Boston," answered the &C

yours is sad fall. And yet you don't
seem to thoroughly realize how low
you have sunk
The man started as if struck. "Your
honor does me an Injustice" he said
bitterly. "The disgrace of arrest for
drunkenness, the modification of be-
ing thrust into a noisome dungeon, the
publicity and humiliation of trial in a
crowded and dingy courtroom I can
bear, but to be sentenced by police
magistrate who splits his inflnitives-
that is indeed the last blow"

earth in forty minutes), was written
by the immortal Bard of Avon nearly
three centuries ago. With the in
spired imagery of the true =, poet
Shakespeare placed the accomplish
ment of the improbable feat in pos
sible Fairyland, little dreaming that
it would one day become a recorded
fact in the practical, material world
of men. ~
Yet that idly. written prophecy Of
the long ago, designed solely for the
entertainment of royal Elizabeth and
her court, laid bare the heart of a
truth which science has since I'M
earthed to faunt in the face of time.
Puck girdled the earth with a wave
of thought. Man now proposes to do
the same thing with a wave of cleo
tricity, which serves as vehicle
for thought. The only difference is
in the method and not the means.
The first step taken toward the full
fillment Of Shakespeare's pregnant
prophecy was the laying of the origi-
nal deep water cable across the Eng
lish channel in 1850 The last step
began with the spinning of the long
copper thread which enabled little
Hawaii to send a joyous New. Year
greeting to her big busy brothers
beyond the sea.
