THE HEART OF LONDON.
Worlds Commercial Center Is Confined
 in Narrow Limits.

But the city of London proper which lies in the heart of Greater Lon- don, says Frederic c. Howe. writing on "Old London" in the January Scrib- ner's, has living population of but 35.- 900 by night, although 3O0,000 people do business there by day. while all of the currents of British life pass through it's portals.
 Here is the soul of the empire, with it's population of 40O,O00,00O and it's area of 11,400,000 square miles. or more than one-flfth of the population and area of the globe.
 Here, too, is the heart of the trade. commerce and financial transactions of the world. From this little spot the nation of shopkeepers" sends forth it's administrators and it's soldiers, it's men-o'-war and its merchant marine to every nook and cranny of the globe, at the command of Lombard. Grace church, Threadneedle and Fenchurch streets and Bartholomew lane.
 It was at the behest of the city that Give and Warren Hastings subju- gated India, that the opium trade was imposed on China, that Gordon went to his death in Khartoum and the flower of England went to South Africa.
 Out from this pulmonary center the commercial life of Christendom radi- ates London is the counter of the world. And the old city corporation. with it's banks, its brokers, its offices and machinery for exchanging the pro- ducts of India with Africa and of China with America is the clearing house of us all.
 England is the only great nation which opens its doors to the trade of the world, unhampered and unre- strained by taxes, tariffs, imposts or control
 White, black, yellow and red, the followers of Christ or ,Buddha, of Mo- hammed and Confucius, all send their wares, in consequence. to the ports which invite them. For trade hates barriers. It will go around the world to avoid tariff wall And because of this fact Great Britain is the counter across which the wealth of the world is exchanged. Here the products of every cline are freely swapped.

"TlME TO GET UP"
A Story of What Happened at Grand
 mothers House.

Ellen Foster, in St. Nicholas
 Little Elinor Gray lived in big city, but her grandmother lived in a big house in the country. Minor and her nurse Norah were going to visit her, and had to take a long ride in a rail way train and another ride in car riage that grandmother sent to meet them. so it was almost dark when they drove up to the door,
 Elinor's grandmother had two beauti- ful dogs-Bruno. a big collie. and Rounder, a little fox terrier. And when they saw the little girl jump out of the carriage they parked and parked. be. cause they were so glad to see her. And they said to themselves q think they said to -themselves) "We will let her have good sleep tonight, for she must be very tired, and 1t is nearly dark But tomorrow, bright and early. we will ask her to come for a romn with lis in the garden. and show her how much easier it Is to live in the country than in the city where little girls have to walk so quietly along the streets, and dogs have to be led along the sidewalk and cannot frolic on the soft green grass"
 Elinor was very sleepy after her long ride in the train. and so, after she had had her supper, her grandmother told her she might go to bed early and get good sleep and that Nurse Norah would call her at ' o'clock in the morn ing.
 But what do you think happened? Why, Bruno and Bounder somehow got into the house before z o'clock that morning and came leaping uD the stairs and went straight to Elinor's door. Hlinor was very sound sleep

Care of Thieves Feet.

From the New York Sun
 A city missionary whose work brings him in contact with thieves wa sinter- ested in their frequent mention of a certain chiropodist whom they had patronized rs
 q should think" said the missionary. that men of your calling would have either the time or money to fool away on chiropodists.
 We're just the kind that need to fool away time and money on them." one ex-burglar explained. "Of all per- sons on earth mon in our life can least afford to be made nervous by bad leet. Creeping around in strange place In. the dark Is. ticklish business at the best. It requires above all things sound feet and comfortable shoes. To kick a corn or bunion against a rock ; ing chair or the corner of a bureau might knock the most profitable job. of the season into a cooked hat. Ninety nine burglars out of hundred keep their feet in first class condition. Any chiropodist who knows his trade we'll will vouch for that"

SOME GOOD RAGING
 AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, December 25.-(Special) The stewards today took action on a case of "welching," Hubbard Clark, a book maker of Dallas. Tex, being de- nied the privileges of Moncrief park The case was also referred to the stewards of the South ern Jockey club in order that Clark be barred from all tracks under the Jurisdiction of the club.
 Clark did the welching act early in the week and was given ample oppor- tunity to make good to his customers.
 He failed to make payments prior to the opening of racing today and the officials promptly took action.
 It was banner day at the track, 10000 persons turning out to see the holiday sport The feature was the Christmas handicap, but unfortunately the run ming of this event was mArred by what appeared to be an unfair decision. Eye Bright took the race by scant mar gin, but was disqualified.
 Eve Bright was installed favorite with Woolwinder the second choice. Sir Clegg showed in front at once. the field getting away in good style. Wool winder trailed in second place and was two lengths back on the far turn.
 Turning home Sir Clegg tired and Eve Bright took the lead. Then Wool winder closed with a rush arn joined the leaders. This brought a hair raising drive at the finish and Eye Bright lasted long enough to win by nose from Woolwinder.
 Woolwinder was on the rail with Eye Bright at his side. In that final rush it seemed that Gang, on Woolwinder, repeatedly struck Eye Bright over the head with his whip. It seemed to be done deliberty. Yet the stewards held Jockey Powers. who rode Eye Bright, to be the offender and E. W. Heffner's good campaigner was disqualified.
 Shouts of derision and angry nut terings greeted the stewards when the result was announced.

CT and did not hear them at first, and began to scratch at the door with his little sharp claws and to make queer little whiney sounds; and Bruno's bushy tail went Rap! rap, rap!" on the door, too. Then Elinor woke up and listened a moment, and then she said:
 s"Oh! know what it is; it is those darling dogs!"
 And she jumped out of bed and open ed the door, and there, sure enugh was Bounder dashing right into the room, barking Good morning! Good morn ing!" and big Bruno looking at Elinor as If saying, Good morningi Didn't you hear us? It's time to get up."
 Minor said: .Oh, you beauties! Yes, I know! And I'll get dressed right away!"
 But what do you think happened then? Why, Bruno and Founder did n't give her time even to call Nurse Norah and get dressed. You see, Bru- no and Bounder did not often have so nice a little visitor, and they were ready to begin play that very minute Bounder was jumping up and down and all over the room, and at last spied Elinor's slippers on the floor and caught up one of them between his sharp little teeth and ran round and round the room with it. But Bruno chased Bounder all round the room try ing to make him drop the slipper. while Elinor stood still and laughed and laughed and laughed,
 But just then Nurse Norah came rushing in from the next room, asking what was the matter. and in a minute the naughty Bounder was made to give up Minor's slipper and Bruno chased him all the way out of the hause.

can be bought for a few dollars. and It will have all the characteristics of the animal that cost $5o0 except the color.
 In the color, or the markings. lies the beauty of the show cat, as judged by the authorities A cat to stand at the head of its class must conform with what has been set as the standard. and must not only meet the degree of the color, but it's eyes must be of harmon ious color and its shape must conform to the standard
 Not a single black hair must appear on a white cat and not single white hair upon the black. In the striped or the spotted animals there are also set rules. so that breeders can tell at glance whether their kittens will class up. If they don't they are gotten rid of as quick ly as possible to make room for the next litter, from which greater things are hoped.

NEW ALLEGED KING
Has Been Produced By Play Just Pre-.
 sented at Paris.

Paris, December 25.-(Special)-A new alleged Louis XVII has been brought to light by the production of Sire" a play by M. Lovedon.
 Many claimants to the French throne can be remembered. In fact 1t can be recalled that 27 figured prominently in the daily chronicles at one time or other and there were probably more who have been forgotten.
 But the best known the alleged Louss XVIII, Naundorf, still has many faith ful believers, and his descendants today who live in Paris hold tiny court of devoted followers
 The present situation of the Naun- dorf family in France is remarkable. The head of the house of John III, who is the son of the nephew of Charles XI., the latter having died without issue. and the grandson of the original Naundorf- that is to say, Louis XVIII-John III styles himself, and is also styled by a small. but 1t is said. increasing body of supporters King of France"
 He lives quietly and unobtrusively, but as far as circumstances will allow, treated as a sovereign by those apout him.
 His two brothers are the Princes Charles and Louis Edmond of France.

Hints on Ther Care.

Cats are sensitive to extreme changes and to dampness. Do not permit your cat to go out doors in wet weather. Provide it with warm sleeping quarters Bestow upon it your affection and it will kindness and patience a cat can be taught many pretty little tricks.
 AS general rule a perfectly healthy cat will not have feas. but now and then the little pests will make their apepar- ance, to the distress of the pet. In such cases dust the animal well with insect powder and then wrap up all save the head in cloth. or, better still put in small bag, leaving the head out.
 After half an hour or SO give the cat a thorough combing and brushing, remov- ing all the powder. otherwise the cat will poison itself. Long-haired cats should be combsd and brushed every day to keep their fur in the best condition. A tea spoonful of sweet or olive oil once a month tends to make the fur more lus- trous and to keep the eat in good condi- ton.
 Of all ailments distemper is most diff ficult to deal with, for there is little that can be done save to endeavor to keep up the animals sertngth by giving ire quest doses of strong beef tea and one grain of quinine twice q day. Port wi, ? in small quantities may be given, while brandy may be resorted to to arouse vi- tality. Give no solid food until conva- lescence begins. Keep the animal mod eratcly warm and by careful attention it may be saved.

From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
 While there are few animals that have as long held their place in the home as have cats and few animals that have been the subject of such great respect in past ages, it is a matter Of common knowledge that cats are not appreciated nearly as much as they should be.
 Ask the average man about cat and his reply will be that it Is @ four-lesged creature, whose sole mission Is to inter- rupt sleep and to make the night hideous with its squalling. He will dwell upon what a nuisance cat is, especially the garden" or back fence variety, and he will declare that the graceful feline that occupies the warmest spot in the house in winter and spends most of It's time in pruning itself. and the remainder of its time in sleeping. is not worth it's keep, except as an ornament"
 Alas, for the mans sht rtsig htedness for he cannot see beneath the surface Ask the wife what she thinks of the cat. Her reply will be that the cat is worth its weight in gold and she will rise in arms at the mere suggestion of taking 1t away.
 How would I ever keep the mice down?" she will ask, If it were not for the cat she will continue, "how do you suppose the destructive little rodents could ever be kept under control? Mice are far more destructive in a ho,Ae than rats are in yard, for while it Is possible to catch rats in & trap or destroy them by poison 1t takes a cat to rid a house of mice. Even the presence of cat in a house, whether cat is a good mouser or not. will keep mice away"
 Thus does the average woman sum up the usefulness of the felines and, since women usually have their way, the cats stay doing their good part in a quiet, unobserved manner, but doing it just the same.
 When one delves into history to look for a precedent for having cat as a pet one finds that the cat occupies an honored sphere. The ancient Egyptians declared the cat sacred animal. The city of Budastis was dedicated to the race of cats and the Goddess East. of Pasche, was depicted with the head of a cat. f+
