Telephone Fright.

Telephone fright" said a man who
has been accustomed to speaking in
public, seems to be akin to stage
fright, but immunity to one does no.:
make a person immune to the other.
Most of my telephone talk has a..
ways been done for me by some one
in the Office, and when l occasionally
go to the phone and attempt to carry
on a. conversation with a wooden box
l feel like schoolboy who has
mounted the stage to speak his piece
and has forgotten it. l usually fail
to remember half what | wanted to
say, or get it wrong, and | have to
get somebody to call UP the party
again and straighten it out."-NeV

PROFIT IN CAT FARM.

Brutus McConoIog's cat farm, start
ed as a jest, has opened up a new
field for money making. The owner
says that his profits for the last sea-
son amounted 10 S4.326 He is now
planning to extend the farm and dou-
Bile the output.
Owning some barren land along the
shores OF the lake, Mr.. McConolog
erected few buildings and stocked
the place with white cats. his object
being to palm IF the skins OF the kit
tens as ermine. This was not much
CT success, but he found a ready
market for the fur of the old cats,
hatters declaring it was the very thing
they we're looking for.
Discarded FISH from the lake, scraps
of meat and corn meal are used for
feeding and since cats are light eat
ers the cost Of maintaining them is
not heavy.
Three crops of kittens are raised
each year, and when they are half
grown the animals are killed by gas
and the skins sent to the hat fac
tories.
By careful system Of breeding,
Mr.. McConolog hopes to rear a cat
that will yield half a pound of fur,
and thus double his profits.-Cleveiand

far as possible. How clearly come
back to us now the smiling faces Of
the guests, the ripping laugh, the
bald-headed joke, the thanksgiving
conundrum, and all as merry as a
marriage bell. We call to mind the
girlish laughter OF that one whose
very existence, as she sat on our left
that day, seemed cemented and glued
to our own. AS we sharpenod the
glittering blade on the ringing steel,
we felt bouyant and proud-Droud
to think how we would silica the
white, calm bosom of that deceased
hen; proud to think how, in our
mind, we had laid out the different
preSnable points about that old
cackler, and in the anticipation OF
applause glad and free, when we had
accomplished the warfare and victory
and stufing had perched upon our
banner. We softly jabbed the shim-
mering fork a-straddle OF the breast
bone, tore off a goose pimple from
under the wings OF the late lamented,
gouged out few shattered frag-
ments from the neck, and tried to
cut sirloin steak off the back An
oppressive gloom seemed to pervade
the air. The old hen didn't have
her joints where we had them laid
out in our mind. She was de.ormed.
She seemed to be a freak OF nature

gouged wildly at the remains, squirt
ing the gravy right and left, and
filling the air with fragments of
bread-crumbs and sage. By some
kind of omission or characterization,
we made a wild stab at the back of
the late lamented hen, and with a
frenzy born of repeated defeats and
depressing failures, the knife struck
the platter with a loud crash, and
ceasing not in it's untamed fury,
glanced aside, and in an instant
buried itself with a sickWinS thud

In 1888 we have the first record of
the gunsmiths of Birmingham, when
Sir Richard Nevdigate, the then mem

birmingham manufacturers their first

Since those days the Birmingham
manufacturers have been oeaseless in
their endeayors TO raise the standard

of the world today their guns have

is Just as good the chief argument
III favor Of the Liege gun being, of
course. the prospect Of a large profit.
Thirty years ago England had over
30 per cent. of the worlds trade in
firearms; now, without including the
firearms which are used in the coun-
tries in which they are produced, Eng

to tell a visitor how his farm had

know, are large birds. black and white, /

farmer said the pies devastated his
fields horribly. If he put up scare
crows the birds tore them down. One
day his young son ran into the gran

" oh. father hundreds of birds

The farmer loaded his gun But
where were the shot? None could
