He was indeed a lover of all animals, and frequently became the slave of his pets. Willlamina, a little white cat, was a great favorite with the entire household, but resrurded the great authbr as her especial friend. She selected a corner of his study for her Individual property and one day com­ mitted the indiscretion of bringing in (her little family of kittens from the kitchen,, one by one. Dickens had them taken away, but Williamma brought them quietly back. Again they were removed,but the; third time of their return the little mother did not leave them in the comer. Instead she placed them at her master's feet, and taking her stand beside them looked imploringly «up at him. That settled the question. "Thereafter the kitten's belonged to the study and made themselves royal­ ly at home, swarming up the curtains, playing about the writing table and scampering behind the book shelves until tliey were one by one given away, all but a poor little deaf one, which, from her devotioii to Dickens, became known as 'the master's cat.' This lit­ tle creature followed him about like a dog, and sat beside him wliile ho wrote. One evening Dickens was read­ ing by a small table, upon which stood a lighted candle. As "usual, the eat was at his elbow. Suddenly the light went out. Dickens was deeply inter­ ested in his book and lie proceeded to relight the candle, stroking the cat while he did so. Afterward lie remem­ bered that puss had looked at hnn somewhat reproachfully while she re­ ceived the caress. It was only when the light again became dim that the reason of her melancholy suddenly dawned upon him. Turning quickly he found her deliberately putting out the candle with her paw, and again she looked at him appealingly. She was lonesome; she wanted to be pet­ ted, and this was her device for gain­ ing her end." ML Joslyn to Maroellus L Jo sly n--Its 1 ti 16, Joslyn'sad 1, Woodstock......

Several men who had an experience In that line recently say no--emphat­ ically no. They were oil the way to their mid­ day luncheon When one of them sug­ gested "oysters for a change," and the suggestion was promptly acted upon, and in order to get the best in the line the^ went far out of their way to a restaurant where "Oysters in Every Style a Specialty" Is the most conspic> uous sign. The cooked oysters were served so promptly that the men were loud t,In their praise of the good management, but the quality of the food was far from what would-fee termed first-class. The defects were spoken of to the waiter, who said: "Well, what can you expect? We've got the name for good oysters, and people rush in dur­ ing the noon hour and want theirs In a rush, so we have to keep a lot on band." "Do you mean to say that these oysters were already prepared when We ordered them?" *" "Well, you know, we have to do It, but they ain't been done long." When the proprietor was taken to task he made a prompt denial; said that every order was cooked while you wait;" that "his word should go further than a waiter's;" and lie "guessed he knew," although he seem­ ed to be unable to tell how the order could have been executed in two min­ utes, and, although he floundered and fumed, and grew red in the face, the men went away convinced of the fact that good oysters could not be looked for in oyster houses during the rush hour. An Honest Medi In* for La Grippe, Geo. W. Waitt, of South Gardiner, Me., says: "I have had the worstcouph, cold chillH and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vendor.

Feraale^ ; Wild Origin Crops Out, All the domestic animals of to-day once in awhile show traits which be­ longed to their ancestors in their wild traits. The speed and endurance of horses was developed in the first place so they could escape from their ene­ mies, the wolves, which for genera­ tions persecuted the herds of wild ani­ mals. The docile temper of horsos is due to the fact that In their wild state they lived in obediehce to one animal, which acted as a commander and was faithfully obeyed. The habit of shying which horses have was often the salvation of a wild steed when passing the ambush of some enemy. Bagk-jumping is a rt>lic of a means of defense against enemies of the leopard kind, which sprang upon the backs of their prey. The buck- jumping horse puts his head out of reach between his forelegs and at the same time arches his back and gives a series of jolting bounds -which would make It difficult for a leopard or panther to stick on. Domestic horses seem to have forgot­ ten the old enmity between their kind and the felines. Nearly every stable contains a cat which dwells in friendly communion with the horses, which are" also fond of dogs. Cattle and sheep, on the other hand, can never quite overcome r their innate resentment against dogs, which descended from the wolves that bothered their ances­ tors. This is more especially sern when they have little ones to defend. Who has not seen a cow shake her horns wrathfully at an adventurous dog which had dared bark at her,? CHAMBERLAIE'S COUGH REVfEDY.

UlTNOLDS. ELEVATORS ARE DANGEROUS. Expert's Explanation Aa 4o Wbmw the Danger Lieai-V;1";"' "To' Suppose an elevator is ev4r'ab­ solutely safe is a delusion," Chief Wade of the Massachusetts state po­ lice, safely says, considering the num­ ber of mishafps to that method of transportation. His assumption, how­ ever, that the public does not realize this fact is not as well based. The public realizes it, but does not act m the matter. When it does act, Chief Wade thinks that the precautions needed to widen the margin of safety will be taken. In his opinion the best of these safeguards are double ropes. "In the constant ascent and descent of the elevator,"" he explains, "there is a continuous process of bending and straightening of the ropes, which in time causes crystallization, eventually completely destroying the elasticity of the wire, at which stage the ropes may part at any moment and without warn­ ing. The only precaution that can he taken in this matter is that the best grade of ropes, and a kind less liable to crystallization, be used, and proper care be taken to prevent rust. Less than two hoisting ropes for an elevator of any pattern where hoisting ropes are used should be prohibited by law. A safety device to prevent the car of the elevator from falling, In case the rope should giveaway, is but a me­ chanical device in any event; although these devices are many times com­ mendable for their efficiency when in good repair, they are liable to become deranged and worn out, which may oc- ctfr at any time. If an elevator with a single rope should give way at a time when the device is so deranged, there would be no alternative but for the car to drop to the bottom; but with two or more hoisting ropes, as they would never all break at the same time, an accident from?,that source would be very improbable."--New York Evening Post Signals! ii Do you take cold with every change in the weather?
