QUITE AN UNUSUAL AFFAIR.
Woman Called Street Car Conductors
Attention to Fact She Had Re-
ceived Too Much Change.

She was 30 and shabbily clad,
that pathetic sort of shabbiness
that strives so obviously to screen
itself behind the virtue that is
next to goodness and the redeem
ing stitch in time" says the New
York Tribune. She handed the
conductor a quarter, and the pas
senger next her noticed idly that
its absence left the worn purse
quite empty. Two dimes and a
nickel were given her in change,
and she was about to slip them
into their place when, with a
start, she drew back her hand.
Then she gave a furtive glance
about the car and another in the
direction of the conductor. Nc one
seemed aware of her existence or
of the moral problem that con-
fronted her. Into the purse went
the three coins, to be withdrawn,
however, two minutes later, and
held on a slightly tremulous palm
toward the mystifed conductor.
81 think you must have given
me toomuch change she said tim.
idly. The conductor reflected,
then looked her over with a soft.
ening eve.
THANK YOU he said, simply
But he continued to look in her di
rection after he went back to his
post on the platform, with an ex
preston of having seen a vision.

Asleep seventeen Years.

DIR. Herbst, in the "Weiner Med.
-izinischen Press" tells of a won.
an, named Gersine Meyer, who,
falling asleep in 1886, remained
in that state for II years. During
that period the wOman's eyes
we're closed, but she was other
wise in possession of her facul.
ties. She was nOurlshed with pap,
milk and eggs, and invariably
made movements with her mouth
when she wanted to drink. Dur
ing the II years she suffered from
an attack of influenza. These all,
ments had no effect on her sleep.
When at last the woman awoke
she had the feeling that she had
only been asleep during the night.

FREE BED FOR SICK CATS.
Servant Girl in City OF Brotherly Love
Leaves Money 10 Care for
Ailing Felines.

Ruth Darling, q servant who
died in Philadelphia some years
ago, was so fond of animals, and
especially cats, that when she died
she left all her savings to endow a
free bed for such i'll and %unfOrtun-
ate feline creatures as should be
brought to the animal hospital in
the City of BrOtherly Love, says
the New York Tribune. Il have a
little money saved, sir" she said
to her employer during her last
illness, "and | should like to do
something with it for eats. Cats
have a cruel, hard life. I'd like to
found a bed in a hospital for them,
so that when the miserable crea-
lures are sick they can be taken
care of"
"Well, Ruth, the idea is a good
one" said the wOman's employer,
"but such a bed would cost
money"
81 know it, sir, and I've got the
money" she returned. Took,
sirw! and the dying woman took
from under her pillow a bank.
book.
The book showed to her credit a
sum more than sufficient for the
establishment of the bed. And
accordingly there is now in the
Maher animal hospital a cOmmo.
diOus iron cage with the inscrip-
ton "The Ruth Darling Bed" on it
in gold letters.
Like a popular club this bed has
always a waiting list, a long line
of wretched and suffering cats
waiting to be treated without
charge. Last year Sc cats were
cared for.

a CURIOUS KIND or FISH,.
Lives n Water of Java and shoots
Its Intended Prey with Tiny
Drop OF Water.

Certain fish shoot their prey
ith sseat precision. Tire jacu-
lator of Java is of this tribe. Sew
aral of these fish, in the posses,
sion of the Jayanese chief, were
placed in a small pond, from the
centcg of which rose a pole up
ward of two feet in height, says
the Nonkers Statesman. Beetles
We're l1ut On the top of the pole on
sharppointed pieces of wood. The
fish then came out of their holes
and swan around the pond. One
Of them came to the surface of the
water and rested there. After
fixing its eve steadily on a beetle
it discharged a small quantity of
water from its mouth with such
force and precision as to knock it
of the twig into the water. In an
instant the beetle had been swal-
lowed.
After this another fish came up
and performed a similar feat, and
80 the sport continued until they
had caught all of the beetles. II
a fish failed to bring down it's
prey the first shot it swan
around the pond until it came OPP
posite the quarry and fred again.
In one instance a fish returned
three times to the attack before
it secured its prey, but usually the
fish were very expert marksmen,
bringing down the beetle at the
first shot.
The fish frequents the banks Of
the rivers in search of food. When
it spies a fly on the plants that
grow in shallow water it swims to
the distance of five or six feet from
it and then with surprising dex-
terity elects from it's tubular
mouth a single drop of water.
