Mrs. Flint was very stern woman
who demanded instant and unquestion-
inc obedience from her children. One
afternoon a storm came up and she
sent her son John to close the trap
leading to the fiat roof Of the house.
"But mother" said John.

Eyes, but mother"
"John, shut that trap"

"John!"
John slowly climbed the stairs ana
shut the trap. The afternoon went BY,
and the storm howled and ragged. Two
hours later the family gathered for
tea. and when the meal was half over

Mrs. Flint, had not appeared. Mira

A Gentle Rebuke.

The father of a young and attractive
member Of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals tells story
to which she sometimes listens with
mingled amusement and wrath at the
recollection it rouses.
She was walking with her father
along a crowded street one day when
she saw a man driving coal-cart and
whipping his reluctant horse.
"He has no business to do that?"
she said, Indignantly, bringing her faith
er to a standstill. II shall 60 right
out into the street and stop him."
"He's stopped now" said her father.
evidently he has balky horse;;" but
his words fell on stony ground.
Twill you give me your manner" said
the stern young woman, looking up at
the driver, and displaying her recently
acquired badge
'T'd jist as soon, miss" said the man,
with broad grin, "but it's so long
you'd niver keep it in your pretty head
till you got home Git ap, jerry" and
with a sudden change of impulse, jerry
charged forward, and the coal-cart dis
appeared round corner.

LESSON TAUGHT BY BRAZIL.


SD1end14- Avenue I'm Rio de Janeiro
Cut Through the slums.
The most wonderful feature of Rio
de Janeiro Is the Avenida Central.
Imagine, If you can, city, Chicago,
for instance, awakening to the realiza-
ton that there are ugliness, dirt and
disease In its midst; that its streets
are ill-paved, unwholesome and UNEQUAL
to the traffic. Imagine Chicago deter.
mined to change all this by drawing
a straight line through her slums, say
from the river at Madison street to the
corner Of Twelfth and Halsted streets,
with other straight lines parallel and
at right angles through other centers
Of slumdam.
And imagine Chicago. after pulling
down brick and stone, wood and plas-
ter, erecting on these straight lines
broad, well-paved, ll-lighted avenues,
faced on either side by palaces, shops,
cafes, clubs and business houes, all
newly built according to one harmonl-
GUS scheme, so that air and sunshine
enter where they were before unknown.
and SO that it becomes a pleasure to
walk where hitherto confusion and dis
comfort were unavoidable.
This Is what Rio did. The Avenida
was cut literally through the heart of
the city.
From March 8, 1904, when the first
house was unroofed, until the opening
Of the Avenida for public use, Nov. Is,
19O5-the Brazilian national holiday of
Observation-Disclosures were 641 houses
demolished and over 1000 persons scat
tered to other and more wholesome
homes. The reactionists who object to
the whole plan say that for tropical
city the old streets were best; that
these new, broad avenues which bring
sunlight into dark places have also
brought the first cases of sunstroke into
Rio. They fail to realize, of course,
what cleanliness and fresh air signify.
The total cost of the Avenida may
reach $8O,OOOOOO, but it will be worth
every cent Of it.
OF course, there are slums still in
evidence in Rio. A city Of 10000 peo-
pie, one-third of whom are negroes and
many of these Of the lowest, most igno-
rant type, cannot be reformed all at
once. In the lanes behind the hills and
in the districts around the railway
station there are native hives as pic
turesque and as dirty, though not so
crowded, nor so cut off from sunlight
and air, as those at Whitechapel or
East Broadway-ReaderM Magazine.

dts of India, Taranath Tarka Vach-
aspati, the compiler of q Sanskrit
dictionary, not only gave him the
sacred Brahmin thread, but adopted
him into his own gotra-a most
unusual honor. Aside from his work
as a scholar In India, Col. Olcott
nearly thirty years ago started an
educational movement in Ceylon for
the benefit Of the Buddhists, which
caused the establishment Of $50 schools
and three colleges, with 10000 pupils at
the present time. He also founded four
free schools for the pariah outcasts, at
tended last year by nearly 1000 pupils.
Col. Olcott was born in Orange, N. j.,
in 1892 and was a graduate Of the Col
lege Of the City of New York. In 1853
be became the agricultural editor of the
New York Tribune During the war he
gave up his newspaper work and acted
in special capacities for both the Army
and Navy Departments, rising to the
rank of Colonel. Just after the close
Of the war he was admitted to the bar
and in 1878 was commissioned by the
President to report on trade conditions
between this country aud India.
In 1876, when the theosophical craze
had obtained good foothold in this
country, Col. Olcott, who had long been
student Of its teachings, was one of
the most earnest apostles Of the move
ment here. With Nine. Blavatsky he
founded in New York the Theosophical
Society, which now has its headquar-
ters in India. He was the author of
several works.

CATS OF WORLDWIDE rAu.

Eminent Men Of Many Countries
Fond Of Their Feline Pets.
One OF the most pleasing traits in
Or. Johnson's character was his fond
ness for his cat, Hodges Boswell adj
mfts that he himself did not love cats
and experienced some discomfort In
their society, a sensation he shares
with other and greater men. But"
writes he, II never shall forget the
indulgence with which he (Johnson)
treated Hodge, his cat, for whom he
himself used to 60 out and buy oys-
tiers, lest the servants, having that
trouble, should take a dislike to the
poor creature"
Nor was DR.. johnson the only liter
ateur with fondness for cats. Vic
tor Hugo had a great cat named Chan
oine, which always sat on large red
ottoman in the center Of his salon and
received the novelistss guests in state.
What Is more, Chanoine showed mark
ed displeasure If anyone failed to ca
ress or praise her.
Many famous Frenchmen, by the
way, have shown q prediction for
cats, Richelieu found his only relaxa-
ton In keeping number of kittens
in his private cabinet and watching
their gambols during his spare mo-
ments, while Baudlaire, the French
poet, very shy man, was always Ill
at ease in any new house he entered
until the family cat was brought up
and introduced to him, after which,
with the cat on his knee, he was per-
fectly happy in his silent poet fashion.
The greatest cat champion was
Frenchman = namely, Chateaubriand,
the famous author and statesman.
When Chateaubriand was made SEC
rotary to the embassy at Rome the
pope, Leo XII, gave him, as the most
acceptable gift the could offer, his own
Micetto, big cat of grayish red. Ear
lier, when in exile in London, Chateau
BRAND boarded at the house Of an
Irish woman, Mrs. DIARY, whose
room swarmed with cats, big and
small, in the welfare Of which the good
lady's lodger took an even keener in
terest than herself. UNITED by this
common interest" he writes, I'VE
mourned the misfortune of losing two
lovely she cats, as white as ermine,
with black tips to their tails" Often
Chateaubriand said that before his
death he hoped to advocate some
works Of God despised by men," and
of these the two chief were to be the
ass and the cat
Coming down to more recent times,
it might be mentioned that the favor
lite pets of Mark Twain are two cats,
which he has named Satan and Sin re-
