The Typos Of cat..

There are a number Of classes OF
Persian cats, the division between
them being purely arbitrary and
based on the color of the fur. The
most beautiful Of all the Persians is
the pure white. They are. however,
very hard to keep clean. and dirty
white cat is certainly anything but
an ornament about ones rooms. II
is unfortunate that many white cats
are deaf, so. when one is making a
purchase Of cat that color il is a
wise precaution to test the hearing.
Another failing which white cats
haze. in common with all light col
ored cats, is that their constitutions
arc not so vigorous as those Of the
dark haired cats.-Suburban Life.

PROVING HIMSELF.
Feat Of . Pioneer Who Was Hale In
His Old Age.

Feat Of . Pioneer Who Was Hale Il
His Old Age.
1t is wise man who proves his
words before he speaks them. A
story of an old Pennsylvania settler
shows shrewdness in this direction
as well as a pardonable pride in
proves. The hero Of the anecdote
was Gabriel Schiller, pioneer who
was hale in his old age.
One day Schiller broke in upon q
company Of farmers who were gath
cred in a workshop. The old man
carried an ak on his shoulder.
LET some one turn the grind
stone for me-" he said.
For long time he sharpened the
instrument, with the greatest So
lemnity. Some present thought he
had lost his senses. Finally he shout
dered the ak and said!
''Let each one follow me-"
The farmers thought that this
summons might mean that an at
tack was to be made on the Indians,
and they asked:
"Shall we take arms?"
"Do as you please" replied Schu-
Ter.
Each man seized his rifle and fol-
lowed the old settler. he led them
to an open place in the woods.
snow" said Schiller, stopping,
"let each 90 into the woods and Sc
lect fine, large tree. When you
hear my trumpet, return"
The men, wondering, did as they
were bid. When the trumpet blew
they gathered once more about
Schiller. The sage, led by the farm
ers, examined each tree selected.
"Niany OF them are very fine," he
pronounced, 'but none equals this
oak"
So it was. He had picked out the
finest. He threw off his jacket and
began to cut. When he had hewed
halfway through he changed his ak
from his right hand TO his left and
went on without changing position
or saying a word. In an hour he had
cut way through, and the tree fell.
Mounting the stump, Schiller sd-
dressed the farmers:
''Today am a hundred years
old. and ] would bear evidence Of
my strength. | would like to have
your promise that the tree shall
stay as it fell"
The old mans request was grant
ed, and the PROSTATE oak remained
for many years to be monument to
the strength Of the century old
Pennsylvania.
Schiller lived nearly ten years aft
er this incident-Youth's Compan-
