\ CAT RESCUER.

'Cat rescuer" is the title which has been bestowed upon Samuel Futile, a call member of the Brooklne fire de- partment, stationed at fire headauar- ters on Washington street, and the title rightfully belongs to him. The title and honor came to him voluntarily, but ev- CT since then he has held up his repu- tation. Sam's speciality Is rescuing An eoras and other members of the cal family from the tree tops and roofs oi houses when they have taken refuge after an exciting pursuit by logs,
 During the last year he has been be- sieged with requests from members oi prominent families in the aristocratit part of the town to rescue pet cats Whether it be late at night or early ir the morning. the champion rescuer ha. never failed 10 respond to the requests
 A few weeks ago he spent nearly tw, hours in rescuing cat that had beer entombed in the cellar of an old sta ble. He could hear the cries of the cat but, owing to the darkness and thu crowded condition of the cellar 1t wa! with difficulty that he learned of it whereabouts. He finally found the cat nearly unconscious, with a large. life less rat between its claws Bostor Herald

Publicity Committee of the A, C, S, Makes Appeal to
 the Public.
DON'T OF STREET DEPT
It Urges the Use of the Refuse Cans of the City on the Streets
 More Generally.

The publicity committee of the As- sociated Civic societies, through its chairman, Arthur C. Booth, has gv- en out the following statement In ref erenGe to the recent cleaning cam lpaign conducted by that organization | in this city and more especially as re- lating to keeping the streets clean | The statement is as follows:
 Keep the Streets Clean.
 The recent clean up of the city, under the direction of the Associated Civic societies, has demonstrated the value of cooperation in effecting re- suits. Without the active help of the school children, and general public, 1t would have been impossible to have obtained such splendid results.
 The city Is cleaner to-day than 1t has been In years and 1t should be the aim of every one to prevent re- turn to the old conditions.
 The street department has cleaned up the streets in manner which re- fleets great credit upon that depart ment but without the active interest and help of all. no lasting good will D, accomplished,
 The thought, Keep the street clean," should be kept constantly in miad; don't throw things into the street; feel that 1t is your duty to pick up papers and place them in the cans provided hy the city for such I pt rposes.
 There are sixty-hve of these cans placed around the city for the con vericnce of the travelling public. NIake use of them when you have any thing you wish to throw away,
 In an interview, Director Foley has stated that there was no objection to people throwing fruit skins and such rubbish into the cans as they were fre- quently emptied. He further called attention to the card of "don'ts' which was issued recently by the street de- partment, q copy of which appears below:
 Notice.
 4 Please carry out suggestions as printed below, thereoy helping us to keep our streets cleaner:
 Don't throw anything into the street i If you have anything to throw away put it in the waste paper cans on the street or into the garbage or ash car in your yard.
 Don't throw away banana skins or orange peels. They are slippery and 1 cnuga many arcilnntg
 Don't tear up waste paper and scat. ter on the street.
 Don't scatter the sand heaps in from of buildings m course of erection. as fl makes extra work for the street sweep. CTS.
 Don't allow your store sweepings tc be swept into the street, the ordinance says you must not, and the only way to have clean streets, Is for each indi. vidual to take personal pride in the appearance of the streets. The ordin. ancese are not obnoxious to citizens who take pride in clean streets.

We Should Use separators.

The farm separator enables US to
separate the milk at home, send the
cream to the creamery two or three
times week and feed the skinned
milk to the calves and pigs.
On an average the money received
from cream in this way is pretty near
equal to the price that would be re-
ceived for butter. The average price
Of butter is about % cents per pound
Without a separator milk must be
kept for from twenty-four to thirty"
six hours with cold water around It,
and when skinned the cream is often
Of poor quality.
The hand separator takes the but
ter fat from the milk while warm
saves great amount Of labor and
gives the very best skinned mix
that can be produced for calves and
pigs.
In buying a separator always select
good machine and never buy .
cheap affair. The manufacturers Ok
the best machines will guarantees
them and to buy cheap. untried
machine without guaranty Is an an
solute waste Of money.
