Wonderful Alabama Cat.

had cat once remarkably intelli- gent, even for cat. He could turn knob of door with his paws, fetch the paper when it was thrown over the fence, carry notes to the grocers, and perform other stunts creditable alike to his head and heart.
 One night l was reading rather late in the sitting room, when I noticed the cat rub up against my leg and start for the door, and when I failed to fol- low he would return and repeat the performance. Alcibiades (that was the name of the caD was so insistent that finally decided to follow him. He led me up the stairs and into a room. Go. ing up to a closet the cat tapped upon the door with Its paw. Understanding the mute request l opened the door and much to my astonishment discov- cred negro man crouched down in a corner of the closet. I seized him and with the help of other members of the household delivered him at the sta tion house, where he was recognized as a badly wanted burglar.-Birmingha News.

SWAIN WAS ALSO ATHLETE.
Youths Knowledge of Sports Saves
 Him at Crisis.

Youths Knowledge of Sports Saves Him at Crisis. They were sitting together on the big sofa in the drawing room, she with her head on his shoulder and he with his left arm around her waist and his other hand fondly holding both of hers. For over half an hour, says the Phila- delphia Press, he had been frankly tell ing her the story of his past life and resolving with her influence to make better man of himself, while she en- outraged him, telling him over and over again that he was far better than the average man she knew. Mother was upstairs, supposedly deep in book, and the occupants of the drawing room trusted to mothers footsteps on the floor above to warn them when they should move to more platonic position.
 But the young people were so deeply interested in each other that they did not hear mother come down the stairs, and the first intimation of danger was when they heard the knob of the draw ing room door turn.
 Frantically the youth leaped from the sofa, and while he was in mid-air mother strode majestically into the room and saw him.
 To the average youth there would nave been no escape, but this youth, with the skill of a veteran, landed lightly on his feet, and, turning to the mother, said, in the most conventional tones:
 "Why, how do you do, Mrs. -? I was just explaining to Miss - how l won theb road jump on Frank lin field" And then to carry out the gallant lie he demonstrated high jump. Ing, sprinting throwing the weight, hammer-throwing and even showed the mother and daughter how the va rious positions on the football team are played.
 And the best part of the whole af- fair was that mother really believed all he said.

Chauncey Depew's Setback.

Even in the days when he was a struggling young lawyer, Chauncey Depew was gifted with a considerable deal of the self-confdence which in la ter years came to be known of many men. One of the first cases he had in court involved a somewhat complicated question of inheritance. But Chauncey gayly tackled it and prepared what be regarded as an unanswerabie argu- ment. He had proceeded for some time when he noticed that the judge seemed to lose interest.
 Lawyer Iepew hesitated and said: q beg pardon, but l hope your honor follows me-"
 The judge shifted in his chair as he replied: q have so far, but I'll say frankly that if I thought 1 could find my way I'd qUt right here"

ORIGIN OF LONDON FOGS.
Results of Recent Investigation Into
 Their Peculiarities.

At the request of the London county council the meteorological council of the Royal society undertook an in quiry into London fogs during the winter of 1901-2. The results were re- gently reported to the latter body by Captain A. Carpenter, who had charge of the investigation. The observations were made chiefly by the officers of the metropolitan fire brigade. Cap tain Carpenter finds three causes of fog:
 First, warm atmosphere cooled by contact with cold earth or water surface, which forms a cold surface fog; second, cold atmosphere warm ed by contact with a warm earth or water surface, which forms a steam ing water fog, and, third, two strata of air of different temperatures in contact with one another, which con- ditions give rise to cloud fog.
 Each of these fogs may become per. meated with smoke, when the fog particles become coated with oily hydrocarbons and are impervious to the evaporating power of the sun. These may drift long distances, slow ly settling on the ground, on houses and clothes, and are inhaled by liv- ing animals and plants. The report represents that when the wind at Kew reached a velocity of thirteen miles an hour the London fogs were usually dispersed. The exceptions noted were the very smoky fogs which accom- panied the damp air of advancing cyclones, and it required wind force of seventeen miles an hour to disperse them.

First Ocean Ca ble's Cost.

The original 1858 cable weighed ninety three pounds per mile and had a conductor of seven copper wires of twenty-two and half gauge; price of deep sea wire per mile, $2O0; price of spun yarn and iron wire per mile, $265; cost of outside coating of tar and gutta percha, $25 per mile; total cost per mile, $4S5. At $4S5 per mile the to- tai cost of the 2,5OO miles of deep-sea wire was S1,212,5OO. To this add twen. ty-fve miles of "shore end" wire, cost. ing $1.45O per mile and we find that the first ocean cable, exclusive of in struments, cost $1 1,250,00O.

PE-RU-NA CURES AND
 PREVENTS CATARRh.

Any one who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrb. Catarrh is we'll nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To pre- vent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of it's victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every household should be sup piled with this great remedy for coughs, colds, and so forth.
 If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruns, write at once to Dr. Hart man, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

When child I had very severe ate tack of Diphtheria, which came near prov- ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the neck were very much enlarged, and after the free use of iodine, the right one was reduced to its normal size, but the left one continued to grow-very slowly at first, until 1t was about the size of goose egg, which began to press on the wind pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be- came very painful. An incision was made and large quantity of pus discharged. The gland was removed, or as much as could with safety be taken out.

STATE TEAM IN
TOURNAMENT
NATIONAL SHOOTING CONTEST
AT SEA GIRT, NEW JERSEY.
HIGH RANK NOT EXPECTED
Wisconsin Guardsmen Have Average
High Marks, But Cannot Beast
Large Number Of Exceptional
Cracks-Compete on Strange Range
With Best Shots Of the World.

The Wisconsin National Guard rifle
team will begin Saturday to shoot in
the national tournament at Sea Girt,
New Jersey. The Wisconsin team has
already arrived at the range and is
having preliminary practice to get ia
miliar with the range as much as pos,
sole. The national team match be-
gins Saturday and continues Monday
and Tuesday.
The military authorities OF Wiscon,
sin are not expecting the team to Sc,
cure a very high place in the compe-
tition, for the reasons that the men
are not accustomed to the strain OF a
national competition, that they have
undertaken long and somewhat tire
some trip to the east, and will shoot
over range of which they know moth.
ing and with which they are unfa-
miliar. The temperature, altitude ana
humidity of temperature at Sea Girt
are all different from Wisconsin and
these elements enter INTO the results
which the competitors are able to
make on the range. The Wisconsin
marksmen will be pitted against some
of the best professional and semi-pro>
fessional shots of the world, who
know all about shooting, are accus-
toned to competition and are perfectly
familiar with the range, climate and
other local circumstances at Sea Girt.
Therefore, if tue Wisconsin team is
able to secure place in the competi-
ton at about the middle of the list, it
will be more than satisfactory to the
Wisconsin military department author
tiles.
The entire system of rifle training
in Wisconsin has always been ordered
not to develop few crack shots for
competition purposes, burt to maintain
a high average in the entire guard
This system has been successful AMI
the Wisconsin guard has high gen.
eral average for craftsmanship. The
third Wisconsin regiment could hold
it's own, regiment for regiment, with
any similar body in the country. The
Wisconsin team consists of II pr1n-
cipals, three alternates and three Off.
GERS in charge. In the national com.
petition are teams of the army, navy
and many of the state guards.
