replied eyes" and after some time
Roberts was invited to step into a

The intended victim entered the tent

that the conspirators had drugged his

When Ingersoll Was siIsncsd.

Shortly after Ingersoll. the noted
inhdel, was defeated in his race for
the governorship Of Illinois, be was one
day broadly proclsiming his infdelity
on board a railroad train between
Chicago and Peoria. After being for
some time Extensively volnble, he
turned to gentleman near him, and
defantly demanded Tell me Of one
great result that Christianity has ever
accomplished" The gentleman, not
wishing to open an argument with the
boaster, hesitated to answer. The
train had stopped and al! was silent
in the car.
Just then an old lady Of eighty
years, who sat Just behind the infdel
touched his arm with trembling hand,
and ssid, "Sir, / do not know who
you are, but l think | can tell you Of
one great and glorious thing that Chris
tisnity has done"
What is it, ma DAMP" asked Inger-
soil.
at has kept Robert G. Ingersoll
from being governor ofthe great State
Of Illinois" If a stroke Of lightning
had flashed through the car The effect
could not have been more marked.
Ingersoll turned literally pale with
rage, and remained silent.
The grand old lady has long since
passed TO her reward, but her courage
GUS act will ever be remembered.

Marks OF a True Gentleman.

The following is from the pen OF
William Farrar, Dean Of Canterbury
1t is difficult to point out the char
scteristics which distinguish true
gentleman, whatever may be his rank,
from one who has no claim to this ap-
pellation, however high may be his
birth.
Wherever man in society is gull
ty Of obtrusive self-a.sertion when
ever be tries to monopolize attention
by thrusting himself into the cOnver-
sation of Others; whenever his talk Is
almost exclusively occupied with him
self and his own doings, he shows at
once that, in the true sense Of the
word, he is not a gentleman. If,
again, be shows 10 consideration for
the feeling of others if he ignores
their susceptibilities if bis conversa-
ton has no delicacy or reserve in 1t,
he will at once be recognized by all
present as lacking in the qualities Of
a gentleman. A delicate sympathy, a
refined desire to give no needless pain
by needless remarks, a fine regard for
the feelings Of others, bearing full
of courtesy which has not in 1.-THE least
touch Of condescension-all these are
marks Of true gentleman.
1t must not for moment be suPPos-
ed, however, that the delicate consid-
erateness Of a gentleman will ever pre-
vent him from the strongest denuncia-
tion of every form of aagrant iniquity
to be a gentleman does not mean to
be timid or to allow the prevalence Of
glaring evils to go unrebuked.
Care for the feelings Of others in all
ordinary matters does not imply the
timidity and noncbalance Of those who
are content to zee iniquitY abOunding
on every side of them and yet who do
not care to raise voice for its expos
ure and expression.

Cats Cannot Suck Breath.

Can cat really suck the breath Of
a child?
We have always heard that it could.
Away back in early childhood We dis
tinctly remember of frequent warn
iugs to look out for the cat. Do not
allow the cat to get into bed with you,
especially to get into bed with the
baby, as it is liable to suck the baby's
breath, which would cause the baby
to die.
Is there any foundation for such a
notion as this ? We never could dis
cover the real meaning to the belief
that cat can suck the breath of
child. Indeed, the sentenceis totally
unintelligible.
What is meant by sucking the
breath ? It may be true that the cat,
attracted by the breath Of a child who
had recently been nursing, might at
tempt to interfere in some manner
with the childs mouth. In young
cats the impulse to nurse might be ex-
cited by the smell ofthe child's breath.
It is barely possible that the cat might
be seized with desire to bite or to
devour the child's lips or tongue, lured
on by the smell OF milk. We are not
in position to deny these possibilities.
May be they are true.
But not any of these suppositions
furnish basis for the statement that
the cat is liable tc suck the childs
breath. We have always heard this
statement with shudder Of horror.
1t seems to convey some weird, horri-
bic tragedy that can hardly be imag-
ined. But it is d mere fancy, the ori-
gin Of which is hard to explain.
Yet we must advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the infant with
a cat. We do not favor the idea of
cats sleeping with children. Nor do
we favor the practice of children play
ing with cats, handling them, mopping
them around the floor, fondling them,
dressing them up as dolls. 1t is not
good for the cat. 1t is not good for
the child. Neither cats or dogs ought
to be treated in this manner. They
are all right in their place, but they
are not fit for playthings.
If the superstition that cat can
suck a child's breath has operated as a
preventive to mothers allowing their
children to play with cats it has
served a very good purpose, but such
childish notions are hardly comPati-
hle with mature reflection. 1t is one
of the old wives fables which may
have served a good purpose, but it is
too ridiculous for repetition. There
are other and better reasons why the
cat and baby should not be left to-
gether than the vague, unintelligible
fear that the cat will suck the child's
breath.-Medieai Talk,
