Cat Exchange In Paris.

Paris has a cat exchange, "bourse
aux chats" This establishment Is situ-
ated In a big chamber at the rear OF a
wineshop. Here are legions OF cats OF
all sizes and colors, which are to be
seen jumping and heard "miaulant."
Il ts said that the customers are by no
means tender hearted old ladies. but
for the most part furriers. glovemak-
ers and cooks. A good sleek "matou"
realizes from 215 cents to 20 cents. The
skin has a number of usages, and the
flesh, according to the story. finds Its
way into the stewpans Of certain res
taurants possessing more enterprise
than scruple.-Chicago Journal.

SLOW pEATH.

Disease Usually Takes Long Time to
 Kill, Says Scientist.
 Few indeed are the men and wOm- en of full age, say twenty-five. who have not yet contracted the malady that will kill them, according to that distinguished scientist and physician Dr. Felix Regnault. Normally, as con- temporary investigators are beginning to find out. it takes twenty years for fatal malady to kill patient. It may take thirty years. The popular impression is that d man may die sud denly or that he may require only year to die in or six months. To be sure. a man may be killed or a child may die in few months at the age of one year. But. ordinarily speaking, all deaths are very slow. indeed. and about 95 per cent of civilized adults are now stricken with fatal diseases. They do not know it. They may not suffer from them. Tn due time they will have their cases diagnosed as cancer or tuberculosis or diabetes. or what not. But so inVeterate are current misconceptions of the nature of death that the origin of the fatal malady- in time-will be miscalculated by from ten to thirty years.
 In the case human beings death, barring accident. is nearly always caused by some specific malady This malady is as likely as not to be cured what is called cured. The cure. how ever. no matter how skillful the treat ment or how slight the disease, has left a weakness behind 1t in some particular organ of the body. One of the organs is. if not prematurely worn out, at least so worn that its resisting powers are greatly diminished. All of us in this way when we have reached a certain age possess an organ that Is much, older than the rest of the physique. One day we shall die be- cause of this organ. Even if we live to be very old. indeed. we shall not die of old age. but of weakness of the lungs or offhe kidneys or of the liver or of the bTain.-Current Literature.

OUR SENSE OF SPACE.
Experiments With Infants to Show
 That It Is Innate.

Experiments With Infants to Show
 That It Is Innate.
 There are many optical illusions which show that our perception of dis tance. height and space are acquired rather than instinctive. and in the dO- main of psychological physiology one of the standing controversies touches this point The German school of Leipzig is inclined to affirm that all our perceptions of distance. area and solidity and our ability to distinguish between right and left. up and down. before and behind. are acquired as result of long practice and experience.
 A person blind from birth who has learned 10 distinguish triangles, squares. circles and objects of other forms by touch is not able immediate ly after the acquisition of sight to distinguish these familiar objects by sight alone. He or she is still com pelled to rely on feeling. In the be- ginning all objects appear to such a person (and perhaps they do so in the case of babiesI as shapeless. tremulous spots of color situated close to the eye.
 In the course of the debate that ragged in Germany some experiments were made with babies. 1t appeared that in babies what must be described for want of better term as a sense of space seems to exist. The infan' was held in the arms of the expo mentors for about a minute, at end of which interval the child N permitted to drop upon it's bed. In every instance the child exhibited a dread or panic when 1t felt the arms of the persons holding 1t relax. The babe. even at the age of one month, seemed to understand that it's sup port was departing, It held. or, rather clutched. at anything it could reach, whether the arm. neck or collar of the person holding 1t.
 From these experiments 1t has been inferred that there must exist a sense of space almost from infancy. What is the dread of falling but manifesta- tion of an innate sense of space7- London Post.

GAMBLERS ORDERED
 CLOSED UP

The first intimation to many residents of Miami that gambling had been go- ing on recently came Sunday when, act ing under the orders of the sheriff s office, Deputy Sheriff Spoon notified several saloons where it had been re- ported that gambling was in progress to close their games at once.
 It is said that all have complied with the order from the sheriff s office. The game had apparently been conducted very quietly, as few outside of the i'm mediate vicinity of the saloon district had any Knowledge that gambling was in progress. The matter was apparently brought to the attention of the county authorities in a communication recently addressed to the district attorheS's office, ambiguously signed "The Ladies of Miami." Such ladies of the town as were interviewed yesterday denied all knowledge that gambling had been in progress.
