A REBELLIOUS PRISONER TAMED.
the Love {or a Pet. Rat Worked Bin
Reformation. ' ‘
Some years ago, a man was confined
for life in a. French prison. He Was
very violent at times, at others so sul-
len that the warders were afraid of
him. '
One day it was seen that Jose looked
les's frowning than usual, and at times
he almost had a. smile on his face; he
~ was watching something hidden in his
breast. The warders did not feel com-
fortable; they must find out what he
was doing. Two of them suddenly
seized his arms from behind, and after
binding him began to search his per-
son. " -
What did they find? Something
which astonished them very much.
It was not’a weapon, as they feared.
but ,a fine large rat. In this discovery
poor Jose quite broke down, and fell
on his knees in an agony of fear, cry-
ing out in the greatest gief,—
“Oh, don’t kill him! Beat me if you
like; chain me; but if I may not keep
him, let my poor rat go free!”
The stern guards were moved to pity
at this strange sight, and instead of
hurting the rat, they let it drop to the
floor and disappear. Then Jose rose
and sullenly began work.
In the course of a. few days, while
the convicts were'at work moving
wood in the yard, Jose felt something
tickle his cheek. He turned round
and gave a shout of joy, for there,
seated on his shoulder, was ‘the only
friend he had in the world, his_rat,
who had found him out and come
creeping up to his face. ‘
With eager hands he put it into his
breast as before, and, turning to the
head gaoler, said,—— .
“Sir, if I may only keep this rat, I
solemnly promise to submit to you in
every way, and never disobey you
again.”
The permission was given, and the
man, with a happy smile, continued his
Ework in apparent content.
rom that day the dreaded convict
was a new being; he became the best
conducted man in the prison, while his
great strength and energy were used
to help the governor. The rat was
never away from him, but shared his
meals, slept in his bed, and his master
made litle toys of bone which he sold
in order to buy goodies, such as sugar,
cheese and gingerbread, fer his pet.

MICE FEED A DISABLED CAT.
And She in Turn Loves Them as Thong"
’ They “'ere Kittens.
The story is rather strange. To be-
awake, agile, up-to—date cat should
permit itself to be run over by a.
wagon. That is what happened the
other day to a fine Maltese owned by
a Mrs. Catherine Jones, of Sixth and
Tasker streets. Mr. Jones is not a
member of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, and when
he heard that the cat had been dis—
abled he simply, chucked it into the
cellar, there to shift for itself. Nobody
cared for the poorthing and in a few
days Jones went to the cellar to re-
move what he believed was a. dead cat.
He was astonished to find the animal
still alive and more astonished to see
a. heap of fish and meat bones in the
corner in which it lay. The cat was
dows of the cellar were tightly closed.
Mr. Jones was puzzled, but be de-
termined to investigate. Placing
some scraps of bread and meat on a.
plate, he laid it-in the center of the
cellar, and, taking a position at the
near window he awaited developments.
He had not long to wait. In a. minute
Seizing a large piece of meat they
selves 'on their haunches, waited until
the hungry pussy had eaten it. They
then brought another piece in the same
the plate was cleaned. When the cat
had finished the mice nestled along-
side her and were fondled as tenderly
as if they were a pair of kittens—Phil-
adelphia Times.
THE CHAIN GANG. ”‘7‘" i
It Is an Ancient. and Familiar Local Instiv
Sutton.
“Those gentlemen who attired in the
peculiar uniform that fancy ascribes
to the pirate and freebooer,” says an
old—time Washingtonian, “now known
as the ‘chain gang,’ do not belong to
a modern institution, as it is generally
supposed. While it may be a new cus-
to'm in some 'parts of the country to
work the offenders of municipal law
on the streets, the custom hasvprevail-
ed in this city for about three-fourths
of a century. The corporation of Wash-
and the male inmates of the peniten-
tiary department were ordered to re-
port for work on the streets, November
23, 1823. The asylum, or poor and work
house, was located then on the square
bounded by M. N. Sixth and Seventh
streets northwest, and in the early
days those placed in the gang were so
small in number as to attract no at—
tention. I do no think that any at-
tempt to place the offenders in the
black and white stripes was made till
'long after the asylum was moved to
the banks of the Anacostia about
1846.”—-VVashington Star.
Just the Other “’ay.
The man who had built up the new
town and was showing a prospective
.settler about the‘ place. pointed with
pride_to a pretty little church, just
completed.
asked the visitor.
“I should sayv'not,” replied the head
man of the burg, with an air of in-
jured pride. “The church belongs to
me.”—Detroit Free Press. -
l ,
gin with it is strange that a_wide--
unable to crawl, nobody in the house '
had supplied it with food and the win~ -
or two he saw a mouse creep cautious- .
1y toward the plate, and then another. ~
partly dragged and partly rolled it to .
where the cat lay, and squatting them- ’
way, and then piece after piece until ,
ington established the asylum in 1821, '
“Do you belong to the church?”.
Cure of Plants.
One would scarcely think that. it
would be worth anybody’s while to
tamper with flowers and sell them as
other than they really are. -But it is
an elaborate art. For instance, a ma.-
tured tulip can be turned into “a young,
thing just on the point of blowing”
‘by carefully plucking off the bloom,
and leaving the bulb with its few
leaves beneath. “Only two shillings,
sir; it’ll bloom in a week, sir,” and
the uninitated buy and wait vainly for
the promised blossom. Giving to the
popularity of the parsley fern, the
"flower dodger” has found a. most effi-
cacious and cheap method of supplying
customers. He plants a carrot in‘a
dark place, with the consequence that
its leaves at the top become fine and
Df a very delicate green; then cutting
off the crown of the carrot and putting
it in a pot he sells it as a “parsley
fern.” As fir scented flowers all the
neglect of nature is supplied by these
people with a scent-bottle, and they do
not hesitate to produce “new and
strange varieties,” by subjecting well-
known flowers to the action of aniline
dyes. With flowers that absorb a
large amount of moisture, their work
is very easy, as they change their color
with extraordinary rapidity.
Published for 1,400 Years.
is not, as is generally stated, the thou-
sand-year—old “Kin Fan,” of Pekin,
but the "Tsing-Pao,” or “Pekin News,"
which was first published more than
!600 years before the Norman Conquest,
'and which has been published without
intermission for nearly 1,400 years.
i The “Tsing-Pao” has the appearance
:of a yellow-backed magazine of twen-
ty—four octave pages, each page con-
ltaining seven columns, and each (:01-
[umn consisting of seven “characters.”
’ Two editions are published—an edition
gde luxe for the Court and the upper
,classes in China, at a cost of 24 cents
Ea month; and an edition, inferior in
'paper and printing, which costs 16
cents a month.
The “Tsing-Pao” is the “Times” of
‘China, and chronicles the wealth and
movements of the Emperor, the life at
Court, and the reports of Ministers.
IR is painfully significant that every
error in printing the latter is punished
with death. '
The Cause of Nervonsness.
"Over-work and ‘ under-exercise re-
,sult in' nervous diseases,” said a phy-
isician recently. “Preventive meas-
ures may be summed up in two words,”
_he continued—“physical development.
l Worry annually kills more people than
lwork. One should strive, however, to
,avoid all things that tend to disturb
: the nerves. Throw away the pen that
scratches and a pencil that has a hard
spot in it. Discard a needle that
squeaks and a basin that leaks. Use
sharp tools, ,.wear'soft garments that
do not rustle. Oil the hinges of the
rheumatic door and fasten the creaking
iblind. These may seem trifles,. but
'such trifles irritate the nerves as much
its a. piece of woolen does a sore.
Charles Lamb once said that a car-
penter’s hammer on a warm summer
morn would fret him more than mid-
summer madness.”
Fashion Hints.
i A handsome bodice is of burn‘
orange taffeta, the waist from the yok
gdown being made in alternate clu:
’ters of fine tucks and applique insei
ition. Where the bodice joins the
.yoke are triple revers of silk, edged
(with three fine tucks of white taffeta,
tend the top rever is covered with ap-
plique lace. The yoke is circular and
in clusters of wave tucks, with a nar-
and the sleeves are small, with pointed
decorations.
The visiting and reception gowns
this season are gentle reminders of
ages gone by, the demure quaker colors
and lavenders so much worn in the
old days being once more in vogue. A
pretty gown is of lavender-colored
Icrepe de chine, witha trimming of
Ipoint applique lace and net.
For middle-aged women stylish
gowns are made of black silk warp.
{Woolen goods are made with a. skirt
having two bias milliner’s falls, head-
ed with a fancy silk gimp. The front
has an Eton effect, with square revers
iand belt. pointed in front, of satin.
Vests and collars of white silk are cov-
ered with cream lace.
A Dainty Gift.
A dainty mouchoir is always a wel-.
come gift and as the variety is end-
less there is no excuse for anybody be-
Iing without one. The prettiest takes
:th-e form of a very large envelope in
ifine white linen, the front and back
beautifully embroidered in some effect-
ive flowers of different colors, which
gives a very artistic finish. In larger
mouchoirs they are painted on satin or
delicate silk, and when decorated with
' roses form a very charming ease.
These affairs are always well wadded
and lined With soft silk, the edges often
finished with a. pretty lace border.
