A scientist has constructed an In
genious model to show why cat in
falling Invariably alights on It's feet
This model, roughly speaking. con
sists OF cardboard cyclinder where
in are stuck four rods TO serve for
legs. together with tail devised on
similar principles. The object OF the
experiments is to show that feline
peculiar faculty depends on the ro-
tation Of its tail with sufficient vigor.
This faculty Is especially develop
ed by climbing and leaping animals,
such as members OF the cat tribe
monkeys, squirrels, rats and most
lemurs. AS already stated, the tail
plays an important part in the turn
ing process. According to the inves-
tigator, all tree-inhabiting monkeys
have long tails, and there is not the
slightest doubt that these tails are
of great aid to all climbers in en-
abling them to turn in the air. The
tail also serves as balancer, as evil
denced in the case of a squirrel,
which may be seen walking along a
tightly stretched wire or string,
swinging it's tail from side to side,
much after the manner of a tight
rope walker balancing himself with a
pole.-London Globe.

"US ROYALTIES"

One day, while On hunt with a
number of royal guests, the old
kaiser grew tired, and decided to go
home quietly. Two of his guests
noticing this accompanied him. They
had walked along the road some dis
lance when a farmer with his wagon
overlook them. One of the gentle
men asked him to take them along.
The farmer consented, and the three
climbed into the wagon.
Curiosity soon got the better of
the countryman, and turning to one
of the gentlemen, he asked:
And who might you be?"
81 am the Grand Duke of Neck
lenburg"
Good" cried the farmer, laugh
ing. And turning to the second gen.
tleman he asked, "And who are
you?"
II am the King of Saxony."
why, this is getting better" said
the farmer. FINAL, he turned to
the third.
well, and who are you?"
II am William, Emperor of Ger

well, this beats ALL" said the
countryman. And now let me in
troduce myself. I am Frederick the
Great! And now get along" he said,

THE OWL AND THE BOY.

I am a barn owl; and so far as
chickens are concerned, never med
die with them. In fact, if a good, fat
pullet should come to me and ask to
be eaten, I should bow my thanks
and send her away. The fact that
l am barn owl and not a hooting
woods owl ought to be known to
every farmers son; but some of them
are too stupid to learn natural his
tory.
Such a one came into the barn
where | was stopping the other day.
l had entered the place the night be-
fore and caught four fat mice and a
big rat. After devouring them, I
flew up to roost on big beam and
went to sleep. When night came /
was to go for more rats and mice;
and if left alone for a week or so,
would clean the barn of vermin and
make the farmer rejoice.
I was sound asleep and having a
pleasant dream when the barn doors
banged open and a boy about fifteen
years old banged in. He went kick
ing things about and whistling as he
kicked, and by and by he happened te
look up and see me.
There's an OWL" he shouted al
the top of his voice.
Well, what of it," | asked, as
looked down at him.

day for forty years, and proved his
faith by his works. He has worked
hard, and has been ambitious to lay
up something for his family, yet he

been poor-often his family lack
the bare necessities Of life. That
little cottage with the rocky patch
of ground around it is all that he has

him about it, l replied.
The old man warmly welcomed us
into his simple cabin, and set chairs

was a frosty November day.
