TWO FOREST CATS KILLED.

TWO FOREST CATS KILLED.
John Horn, of McKeever, n. Y,
who makes the study of birds and
animals a pastime, has established
to his own satisfaction the fact that,
while eagles will aid each other in
a fight against a common enemy,
as much cannot be said pf the lynx,
the most ferocious member of the
cat family found in the woods of New
York State.
Mr.. Horn and a companion were
shooting grouse a few days ago and,
as they shot them, hung them on low
spruce trees to be picked no on the
return trip to camp. Several had
been killed and the men were work
ing backward on the trail when the
naturalist saw a bald eagle swoop
downward 200 yards in front of him
and a moment after rise with grouse
In its talons He rightly judged that
the bird had taken part of the days
spoils and was laughing that so good
a joke had been played upon him,
when the eagle lost its grip and down
came the grouse.
The eagle scared about for a few
moments and then, folding its wings,
shot toward the ground, uttering
sharp cries as it descended. The
trees shut out further observation
at the time, but when Mr.. Horn heard
sharp squallings mingled with the
harsh notes of the bird he concluded
that something interesting was going
on. and with his companion ne hur-
ried forward to the top of a ledge
overlooking a depression into which
the eagle had dived
Arriving at the ledge, the men were
jIst in time to witness most un-
usual woodland battle. A couple of
Canada lynx, which had in all prob
ability been after the grouse when
their rival took it off, had now re-

For moment or two honors were
about even, but one eagle is no match

He Could Stand Disgrace.

Walter Howard, the London drama

theater one evening when an amaze
miciooking youth stepped up and
said: Are you Mr.. Howard?" The
author replied in the affirmative,
whereupon the young fellow said he
wanted to go on the stage. Noticing
his evident unfitness for such a life
Howard advised him ito stick to his
present occupation, whatever It was.

WOMEN IN THE CHURCHES.

Miss Lavfnia D. Smith, a graduate
OF Wellesley College, '94, has, since
her graduation, followed a unique
career, says a writer in Progress.
After spending several years in train
ing at Episcopal sisterhoods in this
country, she became Sister LaVlna
of the Community of the Holy Fam
lily. England, and lately received from
the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Lam
beth Palace, the old academic title
of student of theology, and diploma
equivalent to the Honors School ID
Theology at Oxford and Cambridge.
Sister Lavinia and the four other
candidates who received the dtplo-
ma are, it is understood, the first
women to take these examinations In
theology and to receive this title.
Their papers were corrected by the
professors who set the examinations,
but Sister Lavinia's papers were also
read by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the Bishop of Gibraltar
New Orleans Picayune.

GAME OF FOX AND GEESE.

This is a game played on check
CT beard with four white men for
the geese and one black man for the
fox. Two players only can play this
game, and the object is for the one
who plays the geese to block the fox
in the corner, while the Cox tries
to take from the board as many or
the geese as possible, or to keep out
of their way.
The geese are placed on four al
ternate squares on the side of the
board next the player who takes the
g1sese. and the fox is placed by its
player on any other square on the
board that is the same color as those
chosen by the player of the geese,
and the moves are made diagonally,
as at checkers.
The fox can move both backward
and forward, but the geese can only
move forward. The geese move first,
after which each player moves in
turn.
The player of the geese should do
his best to keep them in straight
line, making their movements at that
point of the board farthest from that
where the fox is stationed, and thus
prevent the fox breaking through.
The fox must, of course, take i'm
mediate advantage Of the first chance
to slip through the enemy's ranks

OUR CAT.

OUR CAT.
Our cat was called Kitty Jones 10
distinguish her from Kitty Smith,
next door. at least that was one rea-
son, and another was that when she
came to us, a tiny Sip of a kitten,
with the dividing line between her
bright eyes so distinctly on one SIDE
we called her Tom, an1 1T was only
when we found her one morning
cuddling a large family of kittens we
decided her name was mlsflt, ana
not having another name convenient,
we dubbed her Kitty that momen'.
She accepted the change with an air
of utter indifference, being so en-
gagged with her family that probably
she did not notice such a trifiing mat
ter. And small wonder that she was
proud Of her babies; there were nVe
of them, two tortoise shell darhhgs
with tiger lines on their foreheadS
lust like their mothers, and the oth-
ers were mixed grey and white, cum
ming puffy little things, such perfect
delights to hold that that it required
all mammals authority to keep us
away from the cellar where Mrs. Kit
ty had taken up her residence.
But at last there came a time
when all the little eyes were wide
open, and the five began to scamper
about the cellar and finally to creep
up the back steps. One was always
treading on a stray kitten, and NAM
ma decided that they must be sent
away. So one afternoon we coaXed
Mrs. Kitty into the house, and shut
her up in a long dark closet under
the stairs, where she went quietly
to sleep.
Then Aunt Mary, our old colored
house servant, carefully gathered up
the kittens, tucking them snugly in
a warm basket, and went on a pill
grimage out in the country among
her friends, leaving little furry pres
ent of a kitten wherever she paid
visit.
Now comes the strange part of my
story. Aunt Mary was to stay oyer
night, so when she had been gone
about two hours we children opened
the little door under the stairs and
Mrs. Kitty walked out blinking and
yawning and stretching, as cats do
when they've had a nice long nap.
OF course, as a matter of habit, she
went straight to the cellar, and we
all followed and peeped in to see
what she would do. She wasn't q
bit disturbed, she just shifted around
a moment, carled herself up in her
usual nook, and fell to washing her
face We decided that she hadn't
a particle of feeling, not even the
very natural feeling of parent
Mamma was glad that she took 1t so
philosophically, and Mrs. Kitty in con-
sequence had extra milk for her sup
per.
Bright and early next morning we
were reused by a shrek Of dellgnt
from Reggie, the youngest of us.
ooh. mamma, mamma he cried,
come and see Mrs Kitty has some
moro kittens like the others!"
We all rushed to the cellar as soon
as we could tumble into our clothes,
and sure enough, there sat Mrs. Kit
ty surrounded by her reunited family,
washing their faces impartially, and
purring contentedly. Aunt Mary ar
rived upon the scene few minutes
later, and her eyes nearly popped
out of her head with astonlshment.
But the secret was never discovered,
and whether the kittens found their
way home or Mrs. Kitty went after
them will forever remain a mystery.

TWELVE REASONS FOR LOVE.
Do you love? Are you going to
marry? Then, you must give Il rea-
sons for your love.
A recent authority On love and mat
rimony says: Don't marry unless you
can take a pencil in hand and write
down IL substantial reasons for loV-
ing that particular person.
Can you give II reasons?
Love has not reason nor does IL
listen to reason. 1t is to be doubted
If the happiest married couples in
the world could give IL reasons for
marriage or IL reasons why that mar
rlage has been a happy one.
A man married because SHE is
trim and dainty, because he is lonely
and she mothers him, because she
can sew and keep house, because sle
makes him feel a comfort to himself
and to mankind, because she is the
one woman in the world to whom
he can confide his sins and fears,
his hopes and ambitions without feel-
ing like a fool
woman marries because HE has
a nice smile, because he sends her
flowers, puts on her overshoes, taxes
care of her, has heart or brains Whlch
appeal to her, because he needs her,
because he magnifies her virtues and
overIooks her fallts, because he IS
the only man she knows who can
enter the very garden of her soul
without trampling flowers.
But where are the TWELVE SUB
sTANTIAL REASONS?
Love bears burdens without feel
ing them, but love does not reason.
What has a tangle of curly hair to
40 with reason? Yet it may have all
to do with love.
What has the power of PAIR OF
SQUARE shoulders to do with reason!
Yet those shoulders may have all TO
do with love
A breath, a. song, a word, smile,
a tear. all these are without reason
but what have they not to do WIN
love?
Men and women who are happlest
IN their marriage LOVE BECAUSE
THEY DO and MARRY BECAUSE
THEY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT;
IN that marriage there needs be no
reason except-loye BY Cyntnla

PLAYING WITH CHILDREN.

A certain amount of work, or rath-
dergarten was advocated for all young
girls Of the high school age by speak
ers at the meeting of the New YORK
city branch of the Vassar Students
Aid Society at the Hotel Astor re-
Gently. The speakers were kinder
gartners from other cities who are
attending the International Kinder
garten Convention. They declared
that it was important for young girls
to be brought more closely into con-
tact with children in order to develop
that quality Of "nurturing something
else" which lis the highest attribute
OF human nature" and to free modern
girlhood from that conventionalty
which is the bane of young women.
Incidentally two of the speakers
criticised the college method of to-
day, though from different points OF
view.
Mrs. James Hughes, of Toronto,
told story to illustrate how help
less many young mothers are in the
face of their babies needs.
'I visited often in a certain house
where there was baby" she said,
"and one day I get down on the
floor and played a finger game with
the child. The next time | called,
the instant the baby saw me he seized
my hand and patte1 the floor, as
peremptory reminder that l was to
silt down and play the game again.
Now, that mother didn't know how to
be a child with her child. She was
charming, and she loved baby dear
ly,-but she'd never learned to give
it what it craveG."
Touching on the question of col
Ieges. Mrs. Hughes remarked that
great deal was said aboIt the detec-
tive education of women, but she be-
iieyed the education of men was just
as defective. She thought that col
lege training and curricula tended
too much to the material were too
much shaped to the sole end OF CIV
ing the student vocation.
But Miss Bertha Paine, of the
School of Education at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, took the opposite
view.
81 believe she said, "that the rest
Iessness which so many college boys
show along about their sophomore
wear is due to the fact that they hnd
go little in their work that is con-
crete. Sometimes l think the most
valuable part of college life is the
management of a fraternity house,
things of that kind that come Incl
dentally. The poor boy gets that sort
of discipline in his home life and
work. The one who is better off ire
quently doesn't"
The election of officers of the So
ciety took place at a business meet
ing held early in the afternoon. Those
elected were: Mrs. Charles w. Slim
son. president; Mrs. Charles E. Pot
ter. treasurer; Miss Mabel McMahon,
recording secretary, and Miss Edith
Deane. second director.-New York
