The End OF the Earth.

The ancient Persians believed in
the renovation of the earth. A
comet in the course of its revolu-
tions will strike the earth and set it
on fire. Rivers of molten metals
wiz float down the mountains and
deluge the valleys. All men must
pass through these streams. The
good will find them like baths of
milk. The evil will find them like
torrents of lava, but they will be
purified thereby and finally will join
the good upon the new earth and
sing praises to the eternal source OF
all. This belief was held also
among the American Indians and
the Hindoos. The Egyptians believ-
ed the earth would be destroyed by
fire and water. The Chaldeans said
that when all the planets met in
the sign of Capricorn the earth
would be overwhelmed with a del
uge Of water, and whenever they
all met in Cancer it would be con-
sumed by fire.

PUSS IN HISTORY.
The Cat Has Been IN Important Per.
sonaos In Many Nations.

The Cat Has Been IN Important PoP~
senass In Many Nations.
Miss Pussy not only boasts an
ancient history, but as far back as
history goes she has been quite an
important parsonage. The Egyp-
tians reverenced cats. They had a
hospital for sick kittens, and such
as died were embalmed and buried
with much ceremony. Mourning
was also worn by the family to
whom the beloved kitten belonged.
This mourning was not black
clothes, but shaved eyebrows.
Though the Egyptians do rot do
quite so much in these days, they
still think a great deal Of cats.
They have a high officer called ia
Their of cats, and near Cairo is q
building where every day a feast is
spread, to which are invited all the
cats Of the city. Nc doubt you
have heard the story of Cambyses
coming to fight the Egyptians and
taking advantage of their reverence
for cats by fastening before every
soldiers breast a live cat. OF course
the Egyptians dared not hurt these
cats, and so they were conquered.
The Chinese are likewise fond Of
cats, but, sad to say for the cats, it
is in stew.
In Rome and also in London the
owners of cats pay a man a certain
sum of money monthly, and every
day he walks through the streets
uttering a peculiar cry. All cats
know him and come from all direc-
tions to get their dinner. He is
called "the cats meat man" Cats
have always been highly valued in
Wales. They are kept about grana-
ries to catch rats. In the old days
ANYBODY stealing mi of these cats
had to give for her a sheep or a
lamb. Should the cat chance to be
killed she was hung up by the tail
until her head touched the floor
and wheat poured over her until the
tip of her tail was covered. All this
wheat the thief had to give to the
cats owner.
The United States government
keeps more than 800 cats in the
postofice department to guard the
mails from rats and mice. Before
these cats were employed valuable
letters we're often destroyed. These
pussies are well fed, $40 a year be-
ing allowed for each cats meat.
The japanese frighten away their
mice and rats with china cats.
These are made so lifelike that
when a candle is placed inside the
figures the mice imagine them to be
real cats and run for their lives

CAT-LIKE MAN.
How He Does Love to Play With
a Joke.

How He Does Love to Play With
a Joke.
The problem whether women
have any sense of humor has
vexed mankind for generations,
says a well-known raconteur. 1t
is unfortunately true that they
selaom laugh readily at our jokes,
aud are inclined to tell us not to
''be silly" when we play airily
with a subject.
But this may be due to a too
keen sense of humor. We may
not be up to their form. Our
jokes (forsooth) may not be good
enough! But no matter! We re-
vcnge ourselves for thi shy telling
women that they do not know a
good thing when they see one,
and that, though, when pain and
anguish rack the brow they may
be ministering angels, they are
not the audience we should
choose FOR our finest flights of
wh;:nsicality.
A writer in a monthly magazine
himself a humorist, extra sec, OF
wide reputation, thinks that he
sees signs of an improvement in
this state of affairs "Women's
sense of humor," he says, has in
creased in recent y ears. They
sec Jokes more readily than they
used 10. This is due to the fact
that they look their best when
they are smiling" There is no
reason whatever why humorists
should not be welcome in every
drawing room. Men capable of
telling a good story, OF working
up to a pleasant epigram, will be
the center of attraction. The mill
tary. the musicians and the Glib
son men will be among the also
rams.

WELLINGTON ON BANK GUARANTEE
Former Senator States Position Be-
lore Methodist Mems Association.

AT FroStbUrg on October 18th. Ex-
Senator George L. Wellington Of Cum
berland delivered an address in the lee
ture room Of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church. on shall National Banks
Guarantee Bank Deposits" Subjects
Of national Importance will be taken up
during the winter before the Metho-
dists Mems Association.
Senator Wellington said he was op-
posed to the guarantee Of bank deposits
by either the Federal or State govern
ment. He continued: The PROPOSE
ton seems to be of kith and kin with
several financial heresies which have
preceded it. The great panic Of 1873
was followed by the Greenback craze.
The proposition then was that these
wi doctors would cure the financial
evil 10y an unlimited issue of irrcdeema-
bic fiat notes The sober second thought
of the American people declined to act
on the ONO idea The great panic of
1890 brought US face to face with the
free silver heresy. when, according to
the Kansas idea, our government was
to make forty cents worth of silver
good as one dollar and cause it to pass
currency as such among the great ma
lions Of the earth Again the cain az
ter thought of the people decided there
could be only one standard of value and
hat the gold standard.
The panic of last year. different
from either of the preceding ones. again
brings the quack doctor of finance to
the fore and upon this occasion he pre-
sents the guarantee by the Federal gov
eminent and by the State governments
of the deposits in the national and other
banks. This is the Oklahoma idea. but
the same old guard that stood for I'M
limited irredeemable money for depre-
clated silver money, now stand for
guarantee OF deposits. The Oklahoma
idea IS not new. 1t was tried eighty
years ago in the great state of New
York. 1t was weighed and found want
ing and the trial cost to the state of
New DIRK some millions of dollars and
the remaining solvent banks of the
guaranteed chain bore the burden of
taxation and had to make good to the
state the deficiency. 1t is the most
vicious exhibition of paternalism in gov
eminent that has yet been offered to
our people. If we are unfortunate en-
ough to adopt it we will place premium
upon incapacity negligence and dishon-
esty among banks. We will make the
worst bank in the country as good as
the best and the best no better than the
worst. We will cause a greater panic.
should it be put into operation and more
