TALES OF CATS.

Two stories of the intelligence and
sympathy of our feline friends were
told me during one of my numerous
visits to the Tower of London while
| was living i'm England.
southampton was a prisoner in the
Tower with the Earl of Essex during
Elizabeth's reign. In some strange
way or by some unrecognized faculty
a favorite cat of his found his abode
and suddenly appeared to him, having
made an entrance down the chimney
After his release by James l., South
ampton had his picture painted with
his faithful friend at his side. The
portrait, / believe, can be seen today
at Wilbeck Abbey.
The other tale is of Sir Henry wy
att, who was committed to the Tower
during the reign of Richard III, and
suffered much from want of clothing
and food. He would have persisted
if a cat had not come down into his
room and warmed him by lying on
his breast and saved him from starva
ton by bringing him an occasional
pigeon caught ON the leads. Although
the keeper was under orders not to
improve his food, he agreed to cook
anything which Sir Henry provided
and the pigeons which the cal
brought saved his life. He also had
a picture painted showing the cat
offering pigeon through the bars
of his cell.

BE HELPFUL.

Look out for others. If you are
strong, SO much the more should you
keep an eye out to see where and
when you can help one less favored
than yourself.
A number of robust, active boys
were busy in playing baseball, while
a little lame fellow, about IL, pale
and sickly, stood leaning on his
crutches, evidently very sorry that he
was not able to take part in the ex-
citing game. Indeed, he seemed to
lose sight of the fact of how much
his infirmity untitled him to join in
the sport of his stout and healthy
companions. The other boys good
naturally tried to persuade him to
stand on one side, and let another
take his place, but they were thought
full enough to put it on the ground
that they we're afraid he might get
hurt.
why, Jimmy" said one, at last,
forgetting himself for a moment, you
can't run, you know"
t.'Oh, hush" answered another, the
tallest boy of the party. Never mind,
I'll run for him, and you can count
it for him"
So saying the noble fellow took his
place by Jimmy's side, saying to the
other, in a lower tone, eff you were
like him, you wouldn't like to be told
of it all the time"

there hired a team and drove through

but without any result"
Ten days afterwards Father G.. told
us of his adventures, and we did all
in our power to assist him in his
search, but to this day the affair is as
great mystery as it was then. Did
the masked man tell the truth? Was
there no crime committed? Who
wounded the man in the house? Did
he die there; and if so was he buried
there: or where his remains taken
away. We could never find the

While serving on a naval vessel sta
toned at China an old time seaman
had an uncanny experience. He says:
"Our ships company had been ashore
for n route march, and on returning
one Of our officers In stepping on the
ships gangway let his sword fall over
board. Being diver, was sent down
to try and recover It, but as touched
the bottom saw the corpse Of a lady
dressed In light material gradually
rise from her resting place Of mud.
She faced me as naturally as If she
had been living person. The disturb
ing Of the water by my descending
had no doubt moved the body. 1t was
a sight-and also fright-which l do
not wish to experience again. The
sword was eventually recovered by an
other diver, for l can assure you
made record trip to the surface
without seeking further" - London

Ocean Temperatures.

The steamer Albatross, which is used
by oceanographers, makes records Of
deep sea temperatures. These tenn.

ocean has far more limited range Of
heat and cold than the land, its maxi.

IS degrees f., and its minimum about
20 degrees +. in the most frigid
depths, the cold puddles" between
Greenland and Norway The average
ocean temperature at a depth of six OF
seven hundred fathOms Is SO degrees

is regular nightly temperature rise
Of half a degree at a depth of 100
fathoms. This unaccountable tempera-
ture variation has been observed by
the Albatross over and over again.

When TIssot Was satisfied.

A charming story is told of Tissot,
the great French painter While in
England on one occasion he painted a
beautiful religious picture and, meet
ing a woman from Paris, asked her
opinion of his work Characterizing 1t
as a work Of real art, she gave a re-
markably just and detailed apprecia-
ton of the various merits Of the paint
ing.
"Are you satisfedT" asked friend.
The artist answered in the negative.
He entirely reprinted his picture,
working night and day. When 1t was
finished he sent for his fair critic, who
pronounced 1t admirable, and then she
remained silently admiring Il with
smiling criticism
Are you satisfied once more asked
the friend. NO." replied TissOt as he
began work on the picture for the third
time. When the lady saw the new
painting she gazed at It for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then,
without n word, sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
"Are you satisfied nOwT whispered
the friend. Yes" answered Tissot.

Although the muscles which affect
the action of the jaws are especially
under the control Of the brain, the
chatterlng Of the teeth is really a
spasm caused by chill or fear, and all
spasms act independent Of the VIII.
The muscles which operate the jaw act
in a series Of involuntary little con
fractions which pull the jaw up and
permit 1t to fall Of its own weight
This action is quick, and the chattertng
occurs from frequent repetition. The
cold has similar effect upon the jaw
muscles to that which some poisons
have in causing spasmodic action ir
other parts of the body.

Ambition.

Contented, unambitious people are all
very well in their way. They form a
neat, useful background for great por.
traits to be painted against, and they
make a respectable If not particularly
intelligent audience for the active spir.
itS Of the age to play before. But do
not for goodness sake, let them go
stalking about, as they are so fond Of
doing, crying out that they are the true
models for the whole species. Why,
they are deadheads, the drones, the
street crowds that lounge about gaping
al those who are working.
They never know the excitement of
expectation nor the stern delight of &C.
complished effort, such as stir the pulse
Of the man who has objects, hopes and
plans To the ambitious man life is q
brilliant game-a game that calls forth
all his tact and energy and nerve; a
game to be won In the long run by the
quick eye and the steady hand and yet
having sufficient chance about its
working out TO give It all the glorious
zest of uncertainty.
And If he be defeated he wins the
grim JOY of fighting; If he loses the
race he ut least had run. Better TO
work and fail than to sleep ones life
away.-Jerome X. Jerome.

Amateur Truce Makers.

Toward the end Of the last siege Of
Paris by the Germans In 1S7071, the
custom grew up of observing an In
formal armistice of about an hours
duration at shutdown, when the hun.
CRY citizens, or some of them at all
events, used to come out and purchase
sausages from the Prussians and Ba-
varlans in the advanced trenches at
about ten times their normal price.
After awhile, however, the custom
came to the knowledge of Won Moltke,
who effectually and promptly put a
stop to 1t by shooting some half dozen
or more of the amateur truce makers.
