said the Observer. Il noticed two men
talking earnestly just below the place
as l was going in to get my lunch. One
of them followed me in and took seat
just below me at the table. A few sec
onds later the other entered and took a
seat just opposite his friend, whom he
did not appear to know. The first man
ordered very extensive dinner, com
mencing with soup and ending with
charlotte russo and coffee. He got the
very best that the place could afford.
and his check for $1.35 was placed in
front of him. The other man took his
time about ordering. taking corned
beef and beans-10 cents worth. His
check was placed in the center of the
table, between the two men.
Number one ate hastily and finished
first. He got up, put on his hat and
then calmly picked up the ten cent
check that belonged to his friend.
Without turning hair he went to the
desk, paid 10 cents and walked out. A
few minutes later number two, who
had been reading the paper, prepared
to leave and took up the remaining
check He appeared greatly surprised
and called the waiter, asking for an
explanation. There was nothing for the
knight of the napkin to do but give the
man new ten cent check, as it was

TREATMENT OF CATS.
How to Feed Them and Cure Their


How to Feed Them and Cure Their
Ailments.
Iuss should be fed regularly. Don't
think because your cat happens to be
good mouser or ratter that, there
fore, you can dispense with giving it
regular meals. On the contrary, such
a course is quite apt to spoil the cats
hunting propensities. Puss seldom
pursues mice for the purpose of food,
but almost invariably for the sport that
the chase affords, and although if it be
hungry it will generally devour its
prey, yet it never enjoys such food,
and hence it is cruel to make it rely on
it for its meal.
Puss is a good deal of an epicure, and
you should satisfy its peculiar tastes
as far as possible, says writer in the
New York Press. To treat a cat really
well regular diet should be followed.
Two meals day are quite sufficient,
but they must be substantial.
When your cat is i'll, you ought to
doctor it. Most cat owners seem to
think the illnesses of animals are of
different nature altogether from those
of human beings and that while those
of man require all kinds of drugs and
medicines yet those of cats will cure
themselves. Cats frequently contract
sore throat, bronchitis. pneumonia, con-
sumption, diphtheria and typhoid fever,
and you don't have to be a veterinary
surgeon to detect the symptoms of such
diseases.
A rough, untidy coat, accompanied
by unusual restlessness, is a pretty
sure Indication that there's something
wrong in the feline's physical arrange
ment and precautionary measures
should be Immediately taken. A dose
of castor oil is as effective in the case
of cats as it is in that of human beings
to ward off these complaints and is
much easier administered.
Cod liver oil is not only relished by
nearly every kind of cat, but is, of
course. nourishing and should be liber-
ally given in the winter months, when
natural warmth must be preserved. A
little sulphur mixed with the food or
spread upon the animals paws is an
effective preventive of summer com
plants.
To administer most medicine with a
minimum amount of danger of receiv-
ing scratches the feline should be roll
ed in sheet. with its feet comfortably
pressed to its body. and its mouth can
then lie forced and kept open while the
medicine is administered.

An Independent MILLER.

When Frederick built his famous pal
ace of Sans Souci, there happened to be
mill that greatly hampered him i'll
the execution of his plans, and he ask
ed the miller for how much he would
sell it. The miller replied that for Il
long series of years his family had
owned the mill, which had passed from
father to son and that he would not
sell it for any price. The king used
every solicitation, offered to build him
mill in better place and pay him
besides any SUM he might demand, but
the obstinate miller still persisted in
his determination to preserve the in
heritance of his ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct, the
king sent for him and said in an angry
tone:
"Why do you refuse to sell your mill
notwithstanding all the advantages 1
have offered you?"
The miller repeated his reasons.
do you know" continued the king,
that l could take it without giving
you penny?"
Yes returned the miller calmly, ''if
it were not for the chamber of justice
at Berlin
The king was so flattered by this an
swer, which showed that he was inca
pable of an act of injustice, that he
dismissed the miller without further
entreaty and changed the plan of his
garden.

IN BORROWED PLUMAGE.
Wei Dressed women who Wen

Wei Dressed Women Who Wenr
Goods Sent or Approval.
When the ways of some women are
considered, it is less remarkable that
such numbers of women dwelling in
the large cities dress extravagantly
than before their methods of securing
rich costumes for all occasions have
been scrutinized.
There are women, and many of them
very wealthy, who make regular
practice of having elegant garments
sent to their homes on approval, wear
ing them once and then returning them
to stores or costumers. Some women
will wear a dress or cloak to the
opera and send it back next morning.
Or they will get hat or wrap and go
driving or visiting in it. The average
person would be astonished to know all
the things, from handsome umbrellas
and fans Of great beauty to jewelry.
and clothes, that some women bor-
row from the shops.
OF course all of these women are not
well off, but they all dress well and
go out great deal, and although the
shopkeepers often discover the manner
in which they are being deceived, they
do not always like to make fuss for
fear of losing a good customer. Besides
they know that if they incur the enmi-
ty of such impostors the women are
quite capable of abusing their goods
and robbing them of other and more
honest customers. Strange as it may
seem, these women generally mingle in
pretty good society, or the fringes OF it,
and have some influence in the matter
of dress, since they have won the repu-
tation of always dressing elegantly and
in the newest things.
This sort of imposition had been car
ried on so often by customer of a GER
tain large firm that it's members deter
mined to put a stop to her Haunting
about in borrowed plumage, at least
when the plumage belonged to them.
One Saturday this woman had a SPLEEN

pew in the fashionable church which
she attended When she sailed down
the aisle after service, Respondent in
the borrowed cloak, this man stepped
up to her and said:
'How do you do, Mrs. Blank? 1 am
delighted to see that you like our cloak
well enough to keep it."
OF course after that she could not re-
turn the cloak.
Still, with all the efforts put forward
by shops and costumers to break up
the pernicious habit of forcible borrow
ing on the part of sundry feminine Gus
toners, the practice goes merrily on,
and many fair dame with an envi-
able reputation for exquisite dressing
appears but once in garments and hats

HoLOING A CIGAR.

Points In a Mans Char8cter the A ct
Is Said to Disclose.
Did you ever notice the different
: ways men hold cigars or cigarettes?
Did you ever observe how you yourself
hold one?
There are about a dozen different
ways, and probably no two men hold
their cigars exactly alike.
A judge of human nature may pick
up interesting points as to character
from watching smokers.
One man will hold his cigar firmly
between thumb and forefinger He is
usually resolute, tenacious man,
strenuous or merely phlcgmatie, as the
case may be, but never lazy. His fin
gers are stumpy.
Another man holds the cigar loosely
between his first and second fingers
He is apt to be graceful, lazy, irreso-
lutte, a man of artistic temperament,
but not hustler His fingers are long
and tapering.
A third man will carry his cigar with
the lighted end turned in toward the
pdllH, IHe iidHu lIelu scoop Sudpe dIOuilu
it. He picked up that trick when
smoking on the sly as a boy, fearing
papa might break suddenly into the
game. He is usually Of secretive ma
ture and not marked by any special
tendency to frankness.
A fourth will hold his cigar awk-
wardly, nervously gripping it and often
staring at it inquisitiyely to see how it
is burning. He is not natural smok-
err" nor is he apt to be what is known
as Il good fellow" He is usually anx-
ious to conciliate others and has not
great force of character.
Watch the man behind the cigar and
see if all these character drawings are
not correct-New York World.

HOW TO CLEAN cHIMNEYs.


Rid of SCOT.
The tendency of pipes and furnace
f1ues to fill with SCOT at this season of
the year is so marked that any sugges-
ton of a convenient remedy for that
condition is worthy of serious consider
alton. A correspondent to the st. Paul
Pioneer Press says that zinc burned in
the furnace is very effective. Just throw
upon the fire a handful of zinc filings
or piece of sheet zinc as large as
your hand, and it clears away the SCOT
as if by magic.
Once week will suffice Shut the
door quickly after throwing in the zinc
Our informant says his family has used
this method for forty years and never
had occasion to employ a chimney
sweep.
This remedy is not expensive. A
wornout zinc washboard will furnish
enough of the metal for six or eight oe-
casions. And if you have to buy sheet
zinc % cents worth may suffice for a
single fire all winter. Even when soft
coal is used in hard coal stoves and fur
naces the zinc will keep them open, SO
that those who have been unable to Sc
cure anthracite will not be seriously in
convenienced by the change.
If this recipe is all that is claimed for
it, the Inconvenience of using soft coal
are reduced to a minimum, and its
cheapness more than compensates for
being deprived of hard coal If it will
keep the chimneys clean, the cost of
chimney sweeps and the dangers from
fire by burning out are both avoided.
