q The Types of Cats.

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. 1t
is unfortunate that many white cats
are deaf, SO when one is making a
purchase of cat that color it is a
wise precaution to test the hearing.
Another failing which white cats
have, in common with all light col
ored cats, is that their constitutions
are not SO vigorous as those Of the
dark haired cats.-Suburban Life.

A Walters Dilemma.

1t was in one of the large down
town restaurants that the short lit
tie woman and her tall husband
went for dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters?" asked
the man, glancing over the bill of
fare.
'FYes," said the short little wom-
an as she tried in vain to touch her
toes to the floor. "And, John, /
want a hassock."
John nodded, and as he handed
his order to the waiter he said,
eyes, and bring a hassock for the
lady"
Zone hassock ?" asked the waiter,
with what John thought more than
ordinary interest, as he nodded in
the affirmative. Still the waiter
did not go, but brushed the table
cloth with a towel and rearranged
the articles on it several times,
while his face got very red. Then
he came around to Johns side and,
speaking soto voce, said: "Say, mis-
ter, | haven't been here long, and
I'm not on to all these things. viii

THE BLOOD LINE.
Most Potent Factor In Telling the Cor
rect Story of Descent.

A drop of the blood of walrus
shows no relation with a drop of
whales blood or of the blood of any
other cetacean, such as seals or por-
polses, which, like the walrus, are
mammals that have taken to the
sea, says DR.. William Hanna
Thompson in Everybody's. Instead
of that, the blood Of the walrus i'm
mediately reacts with the blood of
horses, asses and zebras, thus prov
ing that he is an equine that no
longer crops grass, but goes where
he can live on an exclusively fish
diet. Likewise the hippopotamus is
shown to be a modified fish.
Where the blood relationship ex-
lists, but is distant, these reactions
are proportionately faint, but where
no reactions occur there is no rela-
tionship at all. Thus geology indi-
Gates that birds are descended from
reptiles, and, oddly enough, the
blood of a bird shows a distinct
though very faint reaction with the
blood of a snake, but none whatever
with that Of the winged bat or the
flying squirrel, for these are NAM
mails.
On the other hand, the marsupi-
ais, once such a great family, but
now reduced to the kangaroo, the
opossum and small creature in
South America, have not a single
blood relation left. As to man, he
has no relationship to monkeys, but
the blood of anthropoid apes shows
very faint reaction with his. Mean
time all the races of man are unmis-
takably of one blood, whatever their
color OF abode.
Hence the blood is by far the
most hereditary thing about us.
Neither the shape of the skeleton
! nor the contour of the body nor
brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intes-
tines, liver or skin nor even ances-
trail habits about the great food
question-how to eat or keep from
being eaten-are comparable to a
single drop of blood for telling the
correct story of descent. All this
gives a new meaning to the words,
''For the blood thereof is the life
thereof" Likewise the old saying
that insanity runs in the blood now
wears a scientific look since blood
and family are SO inseparably asso-
ciated.

No Need to Worry.

Mrs. Smith, on retiring to rest
the other night, heard her husband
pacing up and down his dressing
room in an evidently perturbed state
Of mind.
"Jack," she called out, "aren't
you coming to bed?"
NO." was the curt reply.
Awaking after her first sleep to
find Mr.. Smith still pacing up and
down like Gagged animal, she call
ed out, "Jack, what is the matter ?"
matter enough" replied her hus-
band in a Respondent voice. 'I've
got that bill of Tom Jones' coming
due tomorrow for $500, and l have
not farthing toward it,"
You stupid fellow! Come to bed
at once! It's Jones who ought to be
walking up and down, not you"

"Good Enough" Habit.

There is habit, very easily con-
tracted, which every one in business
or otherwise should avoid. It is the
"good enough" habit.
If you are building a house and
use some faulty timber just because
it looks quite right on the surface,
what can you expect? Why, that ul-
timately the weak point will give
way and a disaster may occur. So
the cautious builder makes sure Of
using good material.
So it is with every phase of life.
Don't be content because thing is
'good enough" Remember the time
proved saying that what is worth
doing is worth doing we'll"
In these days of competition the
thing or the man who is good
enough" is of no use. The best is
none too good for modern business
men and business houses.

A FAMOUS PLATE.
The First Engraving Was Printed on
Laundress' Bundle,

Two groups of tourists were
standing in the Pitt palace before
the large plate of pure silver upon
which Finiguerra, the great master
OF early engraving, had depicted his
lovely Madonna and Child" in a
trellised arbor covered with roses.
An Italian lady was telling her
friends in an undertone the charm
ing anecdote of Finiguerra and the
laundress.
The artist, it seems, in mastering
the new and difficult art of engrav-
ing upon metal had acquired a sim
gularly keen eye and delicate touch,
and he also possessed number of
very fine and sharp instruments,
which he used in his work.
Being kindly man, he sometimes
placed both his sure hand and his
fine tools at the service of his
friends and neighbors in performing
for them some of the simpler oper-
atoms of surgery until he acquired
quite reputation for his skill in
doctoring their hurts.
One day poor laundress who had
been washing clothes, in wringing
out garment in which needle had
been carelessly left, ran it deeply
into her hand. Worse yet, it broke
off in the wound, and a part remain
ed imbedded in the flesh. She was
in much pain, and on her way back
from the stream where she had
been washing she stopped at the
house of the artist and was admit
ted.
Entering his studio, she hastily
set down her wet and heavy bundle
and held out the injured hand, beg
ging his assistance. Finiguerra left
his work to help her and after long
and delicate manipulation extracted
the broken needle. The woman
thanked him and turned to go, lift
ing her bundle from its resting
place.
Then he saw that she had set it
upon one Of his engravings. Like
all others at that time, it was plate
of engraved metal, complete in it
self and regarded as a single and
sufficient picture, exactly as if it
had been painting.
But as the damp bundle was rails
ed the quick eye of Fniguerra saw
that it had received an impression
from the engraved picture beneath,
and his quick mind seized at once
the suggestion of the possibility of
indefinite reproduction from a sin
gle original. So that from the kind
ness of great artist to poor wash
erwoman sprang the discovery which
has placed the beautiful products of
the engraver's art within the reach
of all Of us today.

Il am reminded, boys" said the

caddies for their own links is to be
admired, but in the following story,
told by Mr.. Sidney Fry, it seems to
be carried little too far:
At Romford, when the Essex la
dies were playing against the ladies
from Hampshire, one Of the home
teams caddies made a very high tee
for his employer to play from. Aft
er the lady had made bad drive she
said to her caddie, "If you make

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

II is wise man who proves his
words before he speaks them. A
etorv of an old Pennsylvania settler
shows shrewdness in this direction
Is we'll as a pardonable pride in
orowess. The hero of the anecdote
WAS Gabriel Schiller, a pioneer who
WAS hale in his old age.
One day Schiller broke in upon
COMPANY of farmers who were gath
Tered in a workshop. The old man
carried an ak on his shoulder.
"Iet some one turn the grind
stone for me-" he said.
For long time he sharpened the
Sinstrument, with the greatest So
Alemnity. Some present thought he
lost his senses. Finally he Shout
dered the ak and said:
"Tet 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 arm"
'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.
"Now," said SCHUYLER, stopping,
'1et each go into the woods and Sc
4 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
SCHUYLER. The sage, led by the farm
ers, examined each tree selected.
"Many of them are very fine" he
prond eed, "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 az
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 ad-
dressed the farmers:
"Today am a hundred years
old, and / would bear evidence of
my strength. l 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-
ion.
