Ward. I fear." 'A Little Story for Little Folks. My name is Twinkle Eye. I live in the cellar of a big mansion with my mother and brothers. Of course, I am the smartest one of the family, so I am going to tell you about a terrible adventure I had not long since. Some friends of ours had been tell- ing about a fine, big chese that was on the top shelf of the cook’s pantry, and oh, the thought of it just made my eyes snap and my mouth water. Tab, the house cat, and I were “outs,” and I was pretty shy of her because her eyes were so large and so awful sharp; so I set my wits to work to escape her waive-t paws. Tab had three pretty little kittens that she was very much attached to, so. she spent a great part of her time with them. One d‘ay'I kept a bright look out and when she was paying the strictest attention to them, bathing and nursing them, I made a run for the pantry and succeeded in reaching the top shelf in safety, and found the delicious cheese I had heard so much about. I soon became so deeply inter- ested in nibbling the cheese that I fbr- got all about my enemy, when sudden- ly I heard a noise below me, and look- ing over the edge of the shelf, spied Tab eying me wickedly. I became so frightened that I almost lost my bal- ance, indeed so much so that my long tail hung over the edge and Tab made ‘ a spring for it. I did not lose my tail, though I nearly lost my head, but made a dash for life. The next mo- ment I found myself in the bottom of a great big brown pitcher. Tab was as muCh surprised as my- self, for she had lost a supper she had seemed sure of only a moment be- fore. Just then the cook came in and screamed “s-c-a-t!” and Tab found that she must attend to her kittens im- mediately. Then I heard the cook say, “Shure; mistress told me to put it in the big brown pitcher where the chil- dren couldn’t find it.” “Now,” thought I, “I have escaped one danger only to fall into another.” Cook grabbed the . pitcher, and my heart jumped up into my mouth, until I suddenly remembered that my meth- er. once said that women were more afraid of mice-than of an army, so I took courage and made a bold spring for life. What was the result? Cook gave a regular Indian war-whoop and dropped the pitcher,, and 1—1 scam- pered away as fast as fast could be, and soon found myself in my dark eel-- Trades Fellowed by Animals.

' - A good character is the best tomb- stone.,——Lutheran. ol‘tlwunn. Full Report of the Case. In every case of chronic nasal ca- tarrh the lining membranes of the nose are thickened and of a deep red color, while the superficial veins are swollen and throbbing. In nearly every case we may find patches of a grayish color, and in not a. few there is actual ulceratiou, with more or less loss of substance. The secretion is thick, tough, of a greenish character, and when the destruction is very rapid, ofa fetid odor; Large collections of dried secretion may be adherent to the middle and sides of the nose. ~When imflammation has existed a long time and ulceration has taken place, puri- fcrm matter is secreted and drops into the throat. This is one of the most dangerous features of the complaint, and this matter; often descends into the stomach, causing frequent vomiting and a general derangement of health, and finally ends in catarrh of the stomach. _ As proof that this disease can be easily and quickly cured, note the fol- lowing South Norwalk testimony: John H. Toothill, 29 Ann street, says: “I have had the catarrh for some time and have tried many remedies, but get more relief from California Catarrh Cure, which I got at Plaisted‘s, than from anything else I ever have used. The one bottle has already removed ef- fectually many of ‘the most trouble- some symptoms.” Sold by all. drug- gists at 500; three times as much, one dollars. Get California Catarrh Cure, take no substitute; for thousands of people in the Norwalks say that noth- ing else gives such great relief, and nothing else will cure. HOW"A spiel." DISAPPEARS. A Wiley Little Creature That Understands the Science of Revolution. On the borders of the Everglades you often see a large yellow spider. He swings a strong web from two pli~ ant twigs on each side of a path of clear space of ground and waits for his prey. The web is in the shape of a hammock, and tapers at 'each end to a. fine point, though quite broad in the middle. The bright color of the own- er seems to mark him out for destruc- tion—he is clearly defined against the white sand or dead leaves, and you wonder what he would do for defense in case of attack. ApproaCh quietly and he watches you intently. Now raise your hand suddenly and he will disappear. While you are wondering what became of him you see first a blur where he had been, then several spid- ers, then you catch sight again of the yellow ball you noticed at first. Re- peat the performance and the stage effect is renewed. The disappearance is absolute—there can be no doubt about it, and the little magician trusts to it entirely for his protection. How; is it done? As soon as he is threatena ed he starts the vibrations of his airy hammock; these become too rapid for the eye to foll'ow, and he vanishes. As these become sloWer you‘ see a blur, and then severalspiders as the eyes catches him at different points of his swing, until finally he rests before you.——Florida Citizen. A Locomotive’o Health. Locomotives, like human beings, have their ailments, many of which defy the skill of those deputed to look after them. We hear of tired razors, a simple complaint which vanishes af- ter a brief period of repose, but loco- motives are apt to betray indisposi‘tion even after a. day’s rest and much oiling of the various parts. Two good engines may be made on the most approved principle. They may each cost—as those of the London and Northwestern rail- way do—£2,200, and yet one will ex- hibit from the first a hardi'hocd of constitution altogether wanting in its companion. A first-class locomotive, of 300 horsepower, costing £2,000, is expected to- iravel during its life 200,- 000 miles, or, say, 13,000 miles per an- num for fifteen years; yet now and then an ergire is found so impervious to the assaults of time as to be ab‘e in its old as to do its daily work with all the zest and vigor of a youngster. ~Toronto Mail. , Chinese l1 n'»lmnds Preferred in Hawaii. There axe in the United States 40,000 native-born citizens of Chinese par- entage. In San Francisco there are 25,000 to 30.000 Chinese; and their children are entitled to the rights of citizenShip. The school census shows 1,500 children less than 17 years of age of Chinese parentage, and this is probably a very incomplete census. owing to the difliculty of obtaining from the Chinese. In the Hawaiian Islands there are 21,000 Chinese. Many of the Hawaiian Chinese are married —most of them to Hawaiian women—— and in this population of 50,000 there would be not less than 20,000 families, The children of the Hawaiian Chinese are half Hawaiian.
