A lady who was in Port Arthur dur
Ing the commandments by Admiral To-
eos feet thus describes the curious
effect produced ON cats by the can
nonade: Il was ait my window during
each bombArdment by the laps, but
only through the day, because at night
I did not dare stir out OF bed. IN
front Of me there was d little roof on
which five or six cats of the neighbor-
hood collected. Each time there was
- bombardment the cats duly arrived.
and, having observed them, on the
second occasion proceeded to watch
them. With my family we passed the
hours looking at them. At each gun
shot the cats arched their backs and
stiRened their legs and seemed both
terrified and furious. Then when a
kissing shell arrived it gave the signal
for frightful battle. They jumped
az each other. raging like tigers, and
seemed to hold each other responsible
for what was taking place. The effect
was so comical that we could not help
laughing, although the occasion did
not inspire gayety. After having
fought, the cats retired for awhile. AZ
though bewildered, but as soon as the
bombardment began again they went
through the same business. Zach time
40 was always the same"

al GOOD samnrrtnn.

A southern writer tells this story of
q negro preachers version of the para
Bile OF the good Samaritan: There was
q traveller on lonely road, said the
preacher. who was set upon by thieves,
robbed and left wounded and helpless
by the wayside. As he lay there vari-
GUS persons passed him, but none Of
fered to assist him. Presently, how
ever, q poor Samaritan came by and,
taking pity on the wounded mans
plight, helped him on his mule ana
took him to an Inn, where he ordered
food and drink and raiment for the
man, directing the innkeeper to send
the bill to him. "And dis am true
story, brethren" concluded the preach
er, 'tfor de inn am standin' dere yet,
and in de do'way am standin' de skeP-
ton OBJ de innkeeper, waitin' fer de
good Samaritan to come back an pay
de bill. -Harper's Weekly.

Queer Phenomena az Falling Bodies.

err heavy body dropped from the top
OF high tower, but II Ii nevertheless
curious fact that such objects invari-
ably fall slightly to the east OF the per-
pendicular line. Persons OF inQuiring
turn of mind who ask why this Ia as II
is may find an answer in the following:
ALI falling bodies partake of the earth's
eastward motion to a greater or lesser
extent. Therefore during the time oc-
cupied by stone In falling from the
top Of a high tower or other eminence
the earth's rotary motion haw carried
It an appreciate distance to the east.

carried it to the eastward also, there

o.. Blras enjoy Thsir own sinsings

ia Birds Entoy Their Own sangfngt
1t may well be doubted II birds are
musical connoisseurs or have anything
ike human appreciation Of their own
or OF each others songs. Ny reason
for thinking 80 Is this: have heard a
5obolink with defective instrument
so that its song was broken and In
articnlate In parts, and yet II sang with
as much apparent JOY and abandon as
any or its fellows. I have also heard
hermit thrush with similar defect
or impediment, and yet 1t, too, appear
ed to sing entirely TO Its own satisfac-
ton. 1t would be very interesting to
know lie these poor singers found mates
as readily as their more gifted broth
efs. III they did the Darwinian theory
OF sexual selection" In such matters,
according to which the hner songster
would carry or the female, would fall
to the ground. Yet It Is certain that 1t
is during the mating and breeding sea-
son that these "song combats" occur,
and the favor of the female would
seem to be the matter in dispute.
Whether or not it be expressive Of
actual jealousy or rivalry, we have no
other words to apply to it.-John Bur
roughs Ia Harper's Magazine.

leader suggested that each one should
tell what part of the Bible be read the

said, with little hesitation, that he
read the first chapters or Genesis more
