FELINE INT—ELIL‘IGENCE.
the Cat Joined in The Sport When His
Friend “'entliuntingfor Sparrows.
Stories are always cropping out
about animals and here is an interest-
lng and true one of feline intelligence
from the Boston Transcript.
Mr. Blank is a suburbanite who de-
lights during the summer afternoons
to go in quest of sparrows. Early in
the past season a family moved into
an adjoining house. With the family
tame a cat. One afteran Mr. Blank,
returning from a gunning expedition,
spied the cat dozing on the piazza. He
threw'a sparrow to her.
quickly at work, and in a short time
there was little left of the sparrow.
The following afternoon thecat was
in the same place, not dozing, but quite
wide awake watching for the returning
sportsman. Her watching was reward-
‘3d by two sparrows being laid in front
of her. Now the cat was somewhat on-
rious, consequently the next afternoon
when Mr. Blank started out on his us-
ual hunt he was joined by the cat,‘
who stuck close to his heels, and when
a. sparrow was brought down the citt
would take it in her mouth until home
was reached, when the devouring
would begin. Every afternoon after
that until the season waned the cat
would be seen following close at the
heels of the suburban sparrow de—
stroyer.
‘THE MOST co‘s’TLY FRUIT”.
Hothouse Grapes at 89 3 Pound, and Hot.
house Peacheadlt $2.50 Each.
Hothouse grapes are the costliest of
fruits. They are never less than 75
cents a. pound, and when they are most
costly, in February and March they
sell for $9 a pound, sometimes gaing
as high as $10 a pound. At prices
ranging up to $2 a pound there is a
ready sale for them; at the higher
prices they are sold almost exclusively
for the use of invalids. There is a
sale for all that are produced, but the
production at the. season of highest
prices is small. The cost of production
is great, and the vines may die from
exhaustion after a single season of
forcing.
The next most costly fruit is the
hot house peaches. Hot house peaches
sell in February at $2. 50 each. They
are used mainly by invalids, but such
peaches are also often sold for gifts.
They are presented as flowers or as
bonbons would be. Three or ~fOur
peaches are packed in cotton and set
’off with a few peach leaves in a hand-
some box. Hothouse peaches run
down to about 60. cents each in April
and May, when we begin to get the
first of the peaches from the south.—

A Nova 'Proposal.
“The Youth’s Companion” recalls a
characteristic anecdote of the ,Rev.
Lorenzo Dow, the itinerant Methodist
preacher. When he was a widower he
said to the congregation one day at
the close of his sermon: “I am a can-
didate for matrimony, and if there is
any woman in this audience who is
willing to marry me I would thank her
to rise.” A woman rose very near the
pulpit, and another in a distant part
.of the house. Mr. Dew paused aImo-
'ment, then said. “There are two; I
think this one near me rose first; at
any rate, I will have her for my wife."
The woman was in good standing and
possessed of considerable prepariy.
Very soon after this eccentrir. woe-mg
she became Mrs. Dow.

Remarkable Telegraph
Among the most remarkable works
Australia is. the overland telegraph
from Port Darwin to the south of the
continent, which". .was completed in
1872. Almost the whole ',2 000 miles of
its length was through fininhabited
country—much of it a waterless desert.
The wooden poles were prepared at the
nearest available places, but some had
to be carried 350 miles, While the iron
poles were taken an average distance
of 400 miles by land. Over 2, 000 tons
of material had to be carried into the
interior, and the total cost was $1,850,-

KEEP SNAKES As PETS. 3
Ten-foot Reptiles Used to Drive Away the
flats £10m Houses.
A gentleman who has been traveling
in Brazil states that there is a pet
snake in nearly every house in that
country. He says: “They keep them
just as we do cats or dogs, and, in-
deed, for much the same purpo'se, us-
ing them to kill the rats at night. The
snakes are of a species of boa from
ten to fifteen feet long, and are per-
fectly harmless to‘ mankind, while
they are quite afiectionate and, like
cats, become attached to the house
where they are kept. These snakes
are sold in the markets.
A scientist, to whom- I spoke of
these snakes, told me that no snakes
are really dangerous to man. He said
that never had a snake attack a
man unless the man first attacked it.
Thereptile is defensive, but not of<
fensive, and has no desire to pick a
quarrel. But if you tread on a snake
the thing cannot know that your in-
tentions are not inimical to your wel-
fare. So I always avoid s11ake3.——Chi-
