The Slaughter of Cats.

! “Did you over hear," asked an old resident of a reporter, “how the ‘slaughter of the oats’ was brought about?" “No," was the answer. “I never knew of any particular slaughter of the feline species.” • . 1 “Well,” continued the old resident, “fprty years ago or thereabout, there was a square not far from the Patent Office in which the cats multiplied so that it was a mooted question whether the rodents or felines were in the ascendency. The cats and kittens fairly swarmed, and those who lived on the square finally came to the conclusion that the person who would devise some effective means of thinning them out would be entitled to the gratitude of the neighbors. This set. the wits of some of the inhabitants at work, and it was not long before there appeared before one of the doors an immense placard: ‘Wanted! * Cats’hair. Highest cash price will be paid.’ As may be supposed, this soon attracted the notice of the boys, and due inquiry elicited the reply that a sudden demand for genuine cats’ hair had sprung up, and that article at that time commanded $2.50 per pound. The immediate result was that for several days none of the boys of the neighborhood could be seen on the street, but the continuous sound of stones thrown at the cats in the alleys told where they were and what they were about. Home six or eight days had passed . and the sign did not appear to have drawn in the first ounce. About sundown the dealer noticed approaching his shop from the alleyway a crowd of some thirty boys bearing in their midst a long, five-bushel hay sack, stuffed full. It was dropped at his door beneath bis astonished gaze “ ‘Why, boys,’ asked the dealer, ‘what have you here ?’ “ ‘Cats’ hair, sir,’ said the largest boy. ‘Every bit cats’hair; killed them first and then plucked the hair; can swear to it all, sir.’ “ ‘Why,’ exclaimed the dealer, ‘I fear you will break me if you want your pay in a lump, but bring in the bag. L et’s lookwt iti ' . ■ “The bag was carried in and hastily opened, when the dealer exclaimed: ‘Tut! tut! boys, you have it all mixed. I aan’t do anything with the hair as it is.’ After hesitating he continued: ‘Since you have had all your trouble I’ll tell you what I’ll do. Just sort out the hair, put every Bhade to itself, and I’ll allow you an advance of 75 cents on the pound ; that will make $3.25 per pound.’ “This satisfied the boys, and they returned with the bag, and it is needless to say that after an attempt to separate the hair they gave up the job. The neighbors had accomplished their object. and the number of cats was reduced to less than nothing. Washingtgn Star.

Do Bees Hear?

Mis. A. W. Osborn, "who is engaged in bee-keeping on the island of Cuba, •writes the Bee Journal: There seems to me to be no doubt that bees hear; not only do I think they hear, but I haveHjpeen placed in circumstances when I was fully convinced that they could hear, ’and hear quickly, too. While keeping bees in California several times I have seen bees attack horses, dogs, etc., and from the time that the first bee attacked these animals it would not be half a minute before there would be ten thousand to take part in the battle. Those that have never seen bees attack an animal in earnest can form no idea how short a time it is before the object of their wrath is completely covered with the little stingers. Now, if bees can net hear, how do they communicate so quickly? The numbers and numbers of evidences that I see while handling bees constantly lead me to thick that they can hear. At that particular time when they have decided to sting something to death I would say, do not attempt to liberate whatever they are wreaking their vengeance upon, for at that time they show no respect of persons. I tried it once/and ®I .shall never try it again. Although I had a veil on I was so badly stung that I had to go to bed—the only time in my life that they got the best of me to such an extent. Were it my own horse, dog, or cow, and it could not get away itself, I would not take the chances for the price of a good many such animals* Talk about boiled down and concentrated wrath—the words do not express what one sees when a large apiary of bees has fully decided to kill somebody.

Birds and Pens.

Between forty and fifty years ago quill pens were in general use in the schools, and the pupils who could make or mend a pen were considered quite accomplished. The quills most commonly used for pens are those of the goose. Swan quills are considered better, but they are expensive. Other quills, such as turkey, eagleund others, have also been used more or less, while crow and raven quills have been used for drawing purposes and for making fine lines. Only the five outer wing feathers of the goose are used for quills, the second and third being the best, ■while those of the left wing are preferred to those of the right wing, from the fact of their curving outward from the writer using them. Quills plucked from living birds in the spring are the best, those from dead, and especially fattened birds, being useless. Quills have to be prepared for use by heating in a sand bath (from 130 deg. to 180 deg. F,), and afterward scraping away the outer fatty membrane. After cooling, the qnills are elastic, somewhat brittle, and are then cat to suit

Artificial Ivory.

There are several recipes for making artificial ivory. One kind, mncli manufactured in France, is a compound of gelatine and alumina. Tablets of gelatine or glue are immersed for some time in a solution of alumina in acetic or sulphuric acid. The alumina is absorbed from the acid into the gelatine, ■which is then removed a;d dried;—lt becomes very hard, so that it can take omn high polish. Another preparation called artificial ivory is made by working together bone or ivory dust with an equal portion--of albumen or gelatine to form a paste, which is rollod

into aheet»*nd dried. Another method, like the first mentioned, a French invention, is to take two parts of caoutchouc and dissolve in thirty-apt parts of chloroform and saturate the solution with pure gaseous ammonia. The chloroform is then off at a high temperature. The residue is then mixed with phosphate of lime, pressed into molds, and dried. \This is one of the best imitations known, possessing largely the nature and composition of true ivory. —lnter Ocean.

"Sorter Mixed.”

Shortly after the war a tourist on a Southern river steamboat, loitering around the lower deck, observed an old darky seated oh the edge of thh boat swinging his legs overthe water in a most comfortable manner, and drawing near entered into conversation: “Old man, how do you like freedom?” The old darky look puzzled, and after scratching his head thoughtfully, and shaking it dubiously awhile, replied : "7 “Bossy, hit’s Borter mixed!” What do you mean by that, my friend ?” “Well, bossy, hit’s dish yer way. Endurin’ slave times if I wuz on dish yer up-riber boat an! wuz ter fall inter enny leetle cat-naps, like I’s mi ty ap’ ter do, an’ drap overbode, sumbody’d screech out: ‘Nigga overbode!’ an’ de whissel ’ud blow, an’ de backin’ bell ’ud ring, an’ deyM hab me out’n dat riber fo’ I toch water mos’. But dese here days, do’ I’s jes ez sleepy tied ez I useter wuz, an’ole man Nod’s jes ez ap’ter grab me, en’ me ter drap overbode, Mars Mate ’ud sing out: “ ‘Man overbode!.’ “Mars’ Cap’n on the hurry-cane roof d holler down: “ ‘Who is it?’ “Dey’d spon: “ ‘Nobody but er d freedman!’ “An’ bossy, dey mout fling out er rope’s eend fur me ter lay holt on—but stop dat whole boat? No-sir-ee-bob! Cayse you see I’s jes lak enny or'nary white trash now—waff nuffin ter nobody!”—Detroit Free Press.

The Shamrock.

It is said by some that the true shamrock is the black Nonesuch or Medicago, while others assert that it is the Dutch clover. On St. Patrick’s Day both of these plants may be seen in the decorations of those who celebrate. The legend connected with this national emblem is as follows: When St. Patrick landed in Ireland in the fifth century, after overcoming the hostility of the natives, he proceeded to instruct them in the doctrines of Christianity. But in vain did he endeavor to explain to them the doctrine of the Trinity or Unity. His untutored hearers failed to comprehend his meaning, till, plucking a trefoil to serve as an illustration, lie inquired of them: “Is it not as possible for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to be one God in three persons as for these three leaves to grow upon a single stalk ?” This argument, it is said, immediately convinced the Irish, who yieled to St. Patrick’s efforts for their conversion. The shamrock was thenceforth dedicated to the saint.

What Locality Is Exempt

From malaria? In city and suburb, village and hamlet, in the mining districts of the West, the bottom lands of the South, in regions teeming with the fruits of husbandry, in trackless wastes inhabited by half-naked savages, it exists. But travelers, sojourners, old settlers, all who are liable to it, can uproot from the System the diseases to which it gives birth, or prevent them, with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Chills and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague cake, are each and all overcome by this potent and searching specific, It is not less efficacious for liver complaint, dyspepsia and costiveness, ailments not complicated with malarial attacks. Rheumatism, kidney and bltMder troubles, and a want of vital strength,, are also remediable by it persisteut use. Appetite and.sleep, always seriously impaired by the nervous disturbance and biliousness consequent upon fever and ague, are invariably restored by the) Bikers. “ :

Foolscap Paper.

Paper of this kind and size had from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centary a water-mark representing a fools head, ornamented with a cap and bells, snch as the jesters of the old nobility used to wear. It has been intimated that the idea was suggested by a corruption of the Italian name for this size of paper—folio-capo, meaning folio-, sized sheets. But this is not probable, as such an error would not have occurred except among those speaking the English language, aud this paper was not made in England until nearly the close of the sixteenth century. Up to that time it was manufactured in France, Italy, and the Netherlands only. The use of the foolscap water-mark was given up about the beginning of the eighteenth century. Three members of my family, sayß Mr. .Tames A. Sample, Gash Room, office of the Treasurer, U. S., who were suffering from aggravating coughs, have beeti'inffiish'benefited by taking Red Star Cough Cure. None of the ill effects so noticeable in Other coughremedies, have followed the use of this.

Not So Mechanical After All.

At the “Mikado:” She—How in the world do they manage to do this 150 nights in succession without tiring to death of it? He—Oh, they do it without any thought of it at all. It becomes purely mechanical with them. She (reflectively and after a slight pause)—Do ypu think Xanki-Poo’s hug is merely mechanical ? He was obliged to admit that in one respect, at least, the action was characterized by an eternal freshness.—Hoston Reconi. Pliny mentions the belief that when the cuckoo came to maturity it dfevoured the bird that had reared it, a superstition several times alluded to by Shakspeare. Thus, in “King Lear/” the fool remarks: $ ' _ Tho bod go Sparrow led the cuckoo so long, , That it had its head bit off by its young. Dymond states that for 200 years not a Christian soldier was to be fonnd in the Roman armies; and that only in the third century, when Christianity was more corrupted, they began to be enrolled. ■ S every land and clime, the merits of St. Jacobs OU as the only conqueror of pain, are being acknowledged by the press and people.

Experimental Tea a Failure.

For many years an experimental farm has been in operation in South Carolina at Government gxpense, devoted to the attempt to inWSftuce tea culture into this country. Ijt has never met with more than indifferent success. The tea plants would grow well enough, but curing the tea required much labor and skill, and neither conld be cheaply obtained near the tea fafm. The severe cold this winter has prematurely stripped the plants of their leaves, and the plantation is now in a more discouraging condition than ever. Commissioner Colman, of the Department of Agriculture, thinks the farm had better be abandoned. If more thought had been given the subject the experiment would never have been tried. We cannot compete with China in tea growing, for the reason that wages in that country are only five to ten cents per day. If the Chinese will consent to leave oui; staple products unmolested with their competition, we can well afford to leave them the monopoly of tea growing. Much of the price we pay for tea goes to middlemen, as the trade in tea has always been enormously profitable. — Exchange.
