STRANGE EXPERIENCE. From the London Society. I took the rooms without much con •{deration, for I had gone to Dubseldorf upon a miserable errand none other, in deed, than to consult a famous oculist there. He wanted to watch over me at least a month, and preferred that I should have the quiet of an apartment in a private house rather than be Mibject to the noise and bustle of a hotel. He knew the very rooms for me—they belonged to an artist friend of his, an animal paint er, who was on a holiday, ar.d who would be glad to get a tenant for the time being. They consisted oi a large studio and dormitory attached, with a cupboard like ante room tha'. gave light by an outer-door upon the main stairs, whilst both painting-room and bed-room opened by stperate doors into this tiny vestibule Only after I had been settled in them for some hours had I the spirit even to re gard the contents of my new abode There were soft couches, thick curtains rich lapes'.ry. double-piled rugs, antique mirror*, cabinets, book shelves, tables chair*, lamps, what not, but 6ave an cane! or two stowed away in a lurther corner, little or nothing to indicate the presence of the professional artist. Some pictures there were about, but with one •exception they were hung upon the walls as part of their decoration. This exception, however, was noticeable, and was standing uuframed on a chair, where had I aared to have withdrawn the blind the rays from the high .studio window would have fallen full upon it.

Placed there in the obscure light, to wards six o'clock in the autumn evening, this picture looked to me like the repre sentation of a crouching animal a panther, leopard, cheetah, one could not say I could not see cleaily, and it did not interest me I merely saw it as I saw all else, automatically, dimly. My mind was too lull of the gravity of tny condition, of iny prospects, my future *1 was very lonely, too, the more so because my man, who would otherwise have been reading to me, had been obliged to go to bed, his room being at the top of the house.

Thus, then, I sat in the darkest corner of the rowtn, with nothing but my own gloomy thoughts lor company. Gloomier and gloomier they grew as I dwelt upon them until, indeed', I worked my self into a nervous fever, a fever of apprehension. Piesently I was startled by a gentle knock at the door, one single, gentle knock. Involuntarily I cried, "Come in but no one appeared, and for the matter of that I had noticed no footstep. So I thought 1 had been mistaken, and that the knock had only been one of those mysterious noises heard in rooms, and not at all times easily to be accounted for. But five minutes afterward it was repeated exactly as before—one single, gentle knock, there was no mistake this time. It was not of a knuckle against the wood, but as of a real metal knocker. It was plaintV, undeniablv, a knock at the studio door, which opened into the aforesaid little unteroorn. Again I cried out, "Come in," thougn again I had heard no footstep. Yet there was no response and then remembering that I wasaDrond, and that my words might not be understood, I uttered their equiva lent though k,.u\iog little enough of the language. iStul r.o result so 1 waited and listened now, and in about five minutes oticu moie there came the knock, precisely like the last. Then I rose hurriedly, anx ously, and went to the door, opened it and looked out. There was no one there, faint as the light was and growing fainter now every minut* I was sure ot that. I stepped across to the door opening upon the main stair. It WAS slightly ajar. As I did so I was seized by a cuiions cold sort of sensation —a sensation of goose flesh all ovei me as it is called. Opening wide this outer door, I still lound no one upon the land ing—not a cioature was about, up or down the stair all was silent as grave.

Considerably puzzled and nervous, after a minute I returned to my seat in the studio, shutting the doors behind me. I had scarcely been seated an instant before that pame strange chilly feeling crept through me again, amounting now to a shudder that would have set my teeth chattering had I not controlled it. With it there came, too, a vague 6ense of dread and a sinking, as it were, within myself, quite indescribable. What could it mean? The weather was rather sultry and close than otherwise, and I had hitherto felt heated now I could have borne a fire, Nay. I would have lighted one had their been any preparations for winter yet, in the elaborately ornamented chin* stove close at my etbow. As it was, I s^t shivering at intervals as if I had an ague coming on, and feeling more miserable, ill and depressed than ever. Yes I sat, I suppose, for half an hour, strangely disinclined to move, but listening eagerly, and wondei ing if I ohould hear the knock again but it never came, the silence was unbroken.

Very little light now remained in the apartment, and my gaze from my corner lell npon the picture on the chair it was about the only object decernable, the rays of the twilight lingering longer of course just beneath the high window. Still merely regarding this object mechanic ally, 1 cun hardly say what it was that first seemed to make me look at it with anything like an attentive interest, that first made me feel that I was looking a* it with my brain as well as my eyes. I im-! agine it must have been a certain sense of surprise at seeing it so plainly, all else being very obscure. At any rate, I could now make out the form and outline of the animal in strong contrast to the even half-toned background of the canvas, and in a way that I did not think I had been able to do befoie. Yes, there was the crouching creature, whatever it was, dark and mysterious, though with a kind of irridescent light about it, that made it palpable, plain, even to my imperfect vision. A leopard or cheetah surely, painted with an immense force and litelike vigor, and represented as if in that writhing, crouching attitude which immediately precedes the spring uport the prey.

A subdued flashing fire was almost visible in the animal's eyes, the long curved tail seemed upon the point of lashing itself with the lithe rage of the wild beast. I grew quite excited as I discerned these details, these striking evidences of the artist's skill. Really the creature seemed almost moving. So true to nature was it that, as the fact impressed me, the. chill and dread under which I had before been laboring were immensely increased, and nervous and miserable as I was, there started cold drops upon my brow. Shrinking more and more within myself, my teeth chat

tering, and with a horrible sense of stifling, |I was about to rise in sheer dismay, when I was brought to my feet, aghast and in actual (terror, by plainly seeing* the animal move. Yes, undoubtedly, for a moment distinctly, there was a writhing motion, and then with one anmal move. Yes, undoubtedly, for a moment distinctly, there was a writing motion, and then with one angry sweep of the tail, the creature seemed to spring forward into the blackness of the room, and there remained nothing upon the chair apparantly but the pale, plain, even-tinted tone of the canvass! I rushed to the door panic-stricken, siezed my hat from the table in the ante-room, fled down the stairs, and out of the house.

The pleasant evening air revived me I begin to collect myself a little, and to question whether I had not been a great fool—a nervous, highly wrought, unreasonable fool. Was I not like a irightened child, dreading to be alone in the dusk, and who in its panic endows with life the shadow of some simple object, and thinks it has seen a bogre? No, I re/used quite to accept this as the explanation. Out of condition as I was, was not vet quite an imbecile my wits had not all deserted ine, and nothing upon further consideration, would ever persuade me that I had been the prey of a mere hallucination. That there had been an unaccountable knock at my door, I would swear with my last breath, and that cold shivering state which had supervened was no tancy. It was gone now I was perfectly calm, and, save for •ne great anxiety—my sightr—untroubled. Turning and looking up at the house as it stood, formal and gloomy in the twilight, for an instant I thought of re-entering, but I recoiled from the idea soon as formed. No, I could not go back alone weak, idiotic, contemptible as my conduct might seem, I shrank from the thought of entering those dusky rooms again without a companion. I was not forbidden to go out ot doors in twilight or at night, and I determined to walk round to my doctor, as he knew the rooms, to confide in him, ar.d ask him as a favor to go back with me lor a while. Un luckily as I then thought, he was from home—had gone into the country, and would not return until the following morning. Clearly I could not expose my weakness, if such it was, to any one else, 1 knew no one else in the place, and not speaking German, could not attempt an explanation, even had I been willing, with the porter or with the waiter from the hotel whence I had arranged my meals were to be sent. There was noth ing for it then but to go back alone, unless I chose to rouse my servant, and really that would be too foolish no, I must face it myself. So, plucking up courage, I went straight back, re-entered the rooms, the doors of which I found just as I left them, slightly ajar lighting a candle, walked boldly up to the picture on the chair and examined it. There was the anitnal, a spotted beast, panther, cheetah, whatever it was, exactly as my first casual look at it had suggested a large and vigorous sketch in oil, evidently trom a master's hand. While I was looking at it the waiter brought my supper. Fie spoke 6ome English, but I disdained referring to what had happened and, without any return of the shivering sensation, I soon after went to bed and slept—slept till my servant, now seeming all right again, brought me my coffee and roll in the morning.

Bah' What an ass I have been!" I said to myself but directly I thought straight back on the affair, I was more convinced than ever that, whatever my conduct, its causes were facts.

It was a bright sunshiny morning, with that sort of dazzling light everywhere which I was above all things to avoid exposing mvself to. So after breakfast I sat in the darkened studio, with my man in the bedchamber reading tome. Well, we had thus been sitting for half an hour or so, and I had begun to be deeply interested in what I was listening to, when suddenly all my thoughts were distracted, all my wits scared, by the knock at the studio door, exactly like that last night. With it, too, on the instant came a slight renewal of the old shiver and creepy goose flesh feeling. My man ceased reading, he had heard the knock as plainly as I. "What was that, sir?" he asked presently.

I called him in. and whispering told him part of my experiences of the previous evening. "Keep quiet and listen," I said, my teeth all but chattering "vou will hear it again in a few minutes."

We were both silent, and, sure enough after a short interval there it was. He was going forward to the door 1 checked him.

There was another pause, and in the silence the knock was heard again. We both drew back. Before we could either of us speak footsteps were on the landing, and 1 recegnized the doctor's voice speaking to the porter, who evidently was showing him up to my apartments. ~n another moment he had entered the bed-room,to my intense relief. Briefly and hastily I explained what had happened just then and the night before. "Goot gracious!" he exclaimed, in Jiis broken English,

a hanging picture frame. A light was beginning to break in upon me. "And has Mr. Smith, may I ask, been painting Cato's portrait lately?" "O, es, te most vonderful likeness in te vorld, te most vonderful sketch, size of life—an illusion, a deception!" "Ah, and it stand on the chair by the high window," I said, '•Yes, te favorite chair vair Cato sit always to vatch for te hole is tareby below. Smitt has made him to sit like as in his picture, or, as I should say, ze picture as like to him sitting. He stand an te chair to make te deception complete so tat v/hen te cat is not there te picture looks as if te cat was te eat there." "That was it, then, of course." I went on. "He knocked at the door I opened it he slipped by me unseen, and also unseen perched on his chair just in front of his picture until ir. the dusk I chanced to see his tail move." "O yes, O yes! ten he sees a mouse, then, ah, ah! he pounces -that is, the cat out of the bag, as you say." "Yss, of course," I said "and in the dusk with my imperfect sight. I conceived it as I have related." "Ah, tear me, yes vot a fuss how you have set your pulse going! Come now, be calm, and sit down."

We had walked into the studio, and the cat, having slipped in, and knowing the doctor, advanced with a friendly pnrr to meet him. All the while I had been talking my cold creepy feeling had been upon me, and now increased violently. "Ah, to be sure, I see now," went ion the doctor. "You are affected byte presence, electrically, of te cat. Yes, a strange instance, interesting to observe. Yon have known it before'" "Never to this extent. I haife never liked cats this one is very peculiar and I shrank within myself as the huge creature, remarkable alike for its size and dusty spotted coat, approached.

The doctor made a gesture of repelling it, speaking meanwhile to it in German. I seemed to understand in a moment, and with a bound lighted upon the chair in front of the picture, and, setting itself exactly in front of its lite-like presentment upon the canvas, looked as it had done the night before, like a living portrait. "Yes," mused the doctor, as he sat down beside me, still with his finger on my pulse, "it is very interesting, tis electiic expression of te antipathy, curious to observe in you—very marked, increased doubtless byte depression of nervousenergy under which you are suffering." "Can you account "for it scientifically?" I said, still shivering horribly. "No not easy," he answered, "to explain te physical alteration vich must be taking place in te anatomical sub stratum of your consciousness. Your Shakespeare know of it, but not scientifically. He makes the old Shylock say!

Some men tare are love not a gaping pig Some tat are mad if tey behold a cat for affection. Mistress of passion sway it to be mood Of what it likes or loafes.

Fah! I will trive te beast out of te room it is bad to agitate you. Cato, you must go to prison."

He drove the cat away, and took such precautions as prevented my being again disturbed by him during my month's residence in Dusseldorf—a month which, thanks to the skillful treatment I received, ended with the complete restoration of my eight, but not in my reconciliation to cats.

JOSH BILLINGS ON .GAME BIRDS. The quail iz a game bird, about 6fte size bigger than the robbin, and so sudden that they hum when they fly. They have no song, but they whistle for music the tone iz solitary and sad. They are shot on the wing, and a man may be good on arithmetic, lustrate in parsing, and even be able to preach acceptably, but if he ain't ever studied quail on the wirg, he might as well shoot at a streak of lightning in the sky as at a quail on the go. Hriled quail properly supported by jellies and Champagne Charlie, is just the most difficult thing, in my humble opinion, tew beat in the whole" history of vitiles and something to drink.

The partridge iz also a quail bird. Their game iz to drum on a log in the spring ov the the year and keep both eyes open, watching the sportsmen. Partridges are shot on the wing, and az easy to miss az a ghosh It iz phun enuff tew see the old bird hide her young brood whed danger iz near.' This must be seen it can't be described, and make anybody believe it. The partridge,

I followed him as he went back to the bed-room, and saw him gently draw aside the curtain, which I had noticed. "What do you see?" I whispered.

He was looking through into the anteroom. "Nothing," was the answer: "It is so dark."

But at that instant the knock was repeated. •'Can you not see the Btudio-door?" I saiii. "Yes, sir I can just make it out, and I see something shining in the middle of it, about three feet from the floor."

either ot them straddles a gridiron natral enuff to haVte been born there. The woodkok. The fust thing you generally see of a woodkok iz a whizz, and the last thing a whirr. How so many ov them are shot on th£ wing iz 1 mystery to me, for it iz a quicker job than snatching pennies oph a hot stove. I hav shot at them oftem, but never remember Ov my killing one ov them yit. They are one ov the game birds, and many good judges think they are the most elegant yittles that ware fethers.

A western member of congress lounged into the bar-room of a fashionable uptown hotel one morning recently to get his matutinal invigorator.
