WHEAT CROP is BIG.

Utilizing the Cat.

Making her eat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that woman
of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished 70 locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more of the
wall than was needful
Accordingly she shut her cat up in
her parlor-the parlor is directly below
the bathroom-and into the basin of
the defective washstand she poured q
vial of the oil of valerian. Cats are ex-
cessively fond of the odor of yalerian.
\ cat would rather inhalc this odor
than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's
eat after 1t had been IN the parlor a
few minutes began TO pur. Purring, il
crossed the room. 1t settled itself on
the floor with It's face to one spot on
the wall. and here its mistress found II
when she came downstairs, It's nose
glued TO the spot, smiling and pnrring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough, the leak was
found Here the valerian had trlckled
through imparting its intoxicating
odor to the Philadelphia Record.

Probably never In the history of the
world was a better bargain made than
the purchase of the island of Grenada,
I'm the British West Indies. 1t was
bought by the French from the Caribs
by solemn treaty in the middle Of the
seventeenth century, and the price
paid was two bottles of rum. Esau's
mess of pottage was good stroke OF
business by comparison. The Caribs
soon regretted having sold their birth
right and vainly tried to get the island
back by force. 1t is now one of Eng

RAILWAY MlLEPOSTS.
They Are of Use In Locating Acct
dents Along the Road.


"Will you explain just the practical
benefit of mlleposts along railroad
track?" asked an inqulsitive traveller OF
the superintendent as they flew past
one of the white painted posts.
SO far as the general public is con-
cerned" replied the superintendent, II
don't suppose that mileposts are of any
particular benefit. The traveller can tell
by looking out of the car window how
far he Is from the terminal points, but
IN that he is not greatly interested
Some people Ike TO figure out from
the mileposts how far they have trav-
eled or how far they have to go, and
there are not a few who like to time
the speed OF trains by the mlleposts.
But that is not what the posts are for.
In the office of the division superin-
tendent is profile or diagram showing
the location of every one of these posts.
IF an accident occurs, rail breaks,
Il car lets down or anything out of the
ordinary happens between stations the
superintendent is notified of the prox-
unity of the mishap to some particular
milepost, and thus the spot can be To-
Gated, and men are sent there at once,
and they can go in a hurry, for they
know where the place is. Otherwise
they would have to move slowly be
tween stations until the spot was found,
and this means loss of time much
more valuable than the price of the
mileposts, and 1t would be pretty hard
to railroad successfully without them"

Brady, has a greivance against Casca, Q fellow ln- dian. Casca came to Skagway rom Haines, not long since for the purpose Of selling house he owned in Skag- way. He told of sick wife, and Chil- koot Jack felt sorry, and paid him s2o for the house. Casea returned to Haines with his money, after having bestowed his profuse thanks upon Jack. He had not been in the mission town long until he ran into sam Harris, an' other Indian, who was willing Co pay more for the house, whereupon Casca again sold out. This time s4O was the price. Jack heard of the second sale ann forthwith took Casca to account.
 You are a good Christian,' said Jack, you should not cheat. That is the same as stealing"
 "I am not very much Christian now,' replied Casca.
 Jack had no paper, so he felt thai he could not hold the lot, but he gave Casca the option Of returning the money or going to the skookum house. Casca chose to dig mp.
 Jack is getting even now by telling all who will listen, that Casca thinks more of sl5 than his religion.
