AConeestion of Cats

Parkin, Sept. 17.-While-i it can not be, said that the "cats came back to Parkin it is true that the cats are here, in fact, there is a grand collection Of representa- tives of the feline family endeav- bring to make living. This sud den influx of kitties is due to a letter sent by F. G. McCrary to his father in Forest City. The letter stated that Parkin was about to be put out Of existence, or words to that effect on account of the nice whic hwere havi ng a gay old time and few cats around to inter rupt the festivities. Father Me- Crary decided that something had to be done to do away with the mice evil in Parkin. Therefore he gathered up all the stray tabbies he could find around Forest City and packed them in good order and shipped them to his son.
 Healthier cats and fewer mice s the result.

Many people who are otherwise healthy suffer from indigestion, or dyspepsia. When you consider that the stomach and allied digestive or gans are the most important organs of the body, it would seem that dis order there IS to be taken very ser- iously
 Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they like; food sours in the stomach then chronic constipation begins, or. as is often the case, you have been consti oated all along. and the stools are force5 and irregular.

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH.
Rivalry Never Settled Between
Yuma. Ariz., and Needles, Cal.

From the New York Press.
With the advent of hot weather the old
controversy between Yuma and Needles,
the first in Arizona and the other in Cali
fornia as to which is the hottest place
in the United States has been revived.
Neither is clamoring for the distinction
oh, no. each is striving to thrust it upon
tile other. AS a matter of fact, the diff
ference is SO slight that it isn't worth
quarreling about.
From now on until late I'm September
the mercury will climb up in the tube
until it reaches the 120 mark nearly every
day in both places. and there are weeks
at stretch when 1t never falls below 16b
even at night. One can cook eggs hard
by simply burying them IN the hot sand.
The Mojave Indians of the lower valley
Of the Colorado river always go BAREFOOT,
and the hot sands and stones have cal
loused their feet until they as hard
and as insensible to pain as the hoofs OF
horse; they can walk through fire anu
trample red hot Goals without f1lnching.
The extreme heat is due TO the low alti-
tude combined with the proximity Of the
Colorado and Mojave deserts. For 1.oOD
miles on the east and 800 on the north
and west stretches waste of sand and
cacti. With every mile traversed by the
winds they gather heat SO that cooling
breeze from any direction is an impossl-
bility. The man that traverses the deserts
doesn't wonder that Yuma and Needles
are hot. He only wonders that they are
not white hot. ri
Persons vino can stand the excessive
heat find Needles and Yuma health re-
sorts admirably adapted to the cure of
consumption, bronchitis and rheumatism
However, most people would consider tho
disease more tolerable than the cure. 1t
is all right in winter time, but in th..
summer months New York's tenement
districts are cool and delightful in com
parison. If any one feels uncomfortable
on Manhattan Island let him think OF
Needles or Yuma and give thanks that
things are no worse.

OLD NEW YORK MILESTONES.
Several Still Standing on Each of the
Old Post Roads.

From the Nestchester County Magazine.
Each OF the old post roads leading out
of Manhattan still has some of the old
mies.ones remaining.
In Yonkers, ON the Albany post road,
there is a stone on the east side of Broad
way near the Lowerre station. Usually
milestones In this section are placed on
the west side of the road. and this eNcep-
tion leads one TO think that this stone has
possibly been removed from it's original
position to preserve it. AS the top of the
stone has been broken off the number
cannot be stated. 1t is probably seven
teen.
The nineteenth stone is built into the
stone wall on the estate at 61J Broadway
and the twentieth is on the east side of
The roadway at about 1150 Broadway.
At Dobbs Ferry is a milestone. dilapi-
dated and undecipherable. at the corner
of Broadway and Walnut street: some
local society should rescue this stone and
put 1t in a permanent condition. 1t may
be the twenty-third milestone.
At Croton- -on-the Hudson are two mile
stones built into the wall about the Van
placed here for preservation as they do
not properly belong here. One of II .
should be the fort eth milestone. In this
same wall is a curiosity of Indian manu-
facture, followed out stone for grinding
corn.
At Peekskill. by the Holman house. a
short distance north of the village. is the
ffftieth milestone, lately repaired and re-
set by the d. A. r. The old house is the
Dusenbury Tavern of revolutionary days.
Here Maj. Andre was kept overnight
f,er his capture at Tarrytown.
Along the Boston post road may be
mentioned the nineteenth milestone at
New Rochelle. at the corner Of Echo ave-
nue.: the twenty-third milestone at Rye.
near Mamaroneck and the twenty-fourth
at Rye, opposite the John Jay house.
A milestone dissimilar to the others is
the one on the White Plains road, Scars
dale, near the Wayside Inn. The inscrip-

Vandals in st. Peters
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Let no one say that II is only, or
chiefly, the Englishman who, climbing
the Alps. crawling into. belfries, creep
ing into caverns, or invading tombs and
churches, writes Robinson on any inches
of available plain surface. Wandering
down the nave of ST. Peters, writes "A
correspondent, 1 paused at the great
gates of the choir chapel. because parts
Of the spaces between the uprights are
fitted with glass. and this glass had
strange look of .grisaille." 1t need hard
ly be said that the renaissance architec-
ture takes no note of windows, and ST.
Peters is lighted throughout by perfect
ly plain uncolored glass in square panes
Therefore this ancient-looking darkened
gray glazing called for inspection. Its
decoration proved to be names-names
of all tribes and tongues-scratched upon
every inch OF the glass as far as hand
could reach, crossing each other, effac-
ing each other, with every impertinence
of flourish OF which handwriting is ca
pable. and. with the names of fools tile
dates OF their folly.

Facts About Gravesend.

From the London Chronicle.
Gravesend, now snarting under her
treatment by the admiralty in relation to
the disposition of the warships in the
coming Thames review, has been always
more or less a spoiled child of fortune.
AS the great outpost of London her
privileges in the matter Of customs and
pilotage have been considerable. When
the town was burnt and plundered by
the French and Span:ards in the reign Of
Richard IL, the king compensated the
citizens by giving them the exclusive
right to carry passengers to London by
water at I'd head Tor As per boat. Two
pence, of course, was no mean sum in
those days. Gravesend has also the dis
t.nction, among Eng ish towns, of having
been the first to organize river steam
boat service to London. This she did as
long ago as 1879. The gloomy name she
bears loses it's somberness when we re-
member that it is derived from the Saxon
"gerefa,' and indicates the limits of the
jurisdiction of port-reeve. In Domesday
Book she is recognizable under the namo
