Army Returns for 1891
V
The preliminary return of British army
for 1890 bas been issued from the War Offite.
It shows that on the 1st of January of this
year the whole effective strength was 210,-
499, a total ocly exceeded in two years (1888
and 1889) since 1872, the highest point
reached in that period being 211,030. The
cavalry numbered 18,895 horse artillery,
3787; other artillery, 31,770; migineers,
7305 ; foot guards, 5517 '• and lineinfantry,
133,557. The average strength during last
year was 209,221. Qn the ist of January
there were at home 1e4,591, in India 72,196,
in Egypt 3240, and in the colonies 28,669.
The total of the rank and file on January 1
was 185,547, or 4602 below the authorised
establishment of 190,149. Recruits last
year numbered 31,407 ; the 'allele number
being between 18 and 19 years of age, 15,378.
The discharges lumbered 11,718, and 14,128
were sent into the reserve, the strength of
the lattsr on the 1st of January being 59,-
216, the largest total, yet reached. At the
same date the militia rank and file stood at
101,820, or 25,715 below the establishment,.
The yeomanry cavalry were 10,697, and
the volunteers 221,048, of whom 512,293
were efficients.
Thant the Children.

books and slippers, our thimbles, our new
magazines ; downstairs to tell the servants
this thing or that ; over the. way to carry
our messages; to ,the postoffice with our
letters and parcels. „
They leave their work or their play a
dozen times itt a morning, to do something
to oblige us who are grown2 up, bigger,
stronger, and apt to be loss absorbingly oc-
cupied than they.
No game of politics, or business in later
life, will ever be so important to the man
as ball and top to the little lad ; and no

The Hawk and Blaokbird.
When I saw the poor bird pursued by the
hawk, and taking refuge in a bush, the hawk
hovering over it, I could fiothelp but hasten
to relieve her, whieh, when I had done, the
bird would not depart from tbe bush though
her enemy was gone. Then I thought my
soul, 'like this bird, 1478.$ ouce distressed,
pursued, yea, seized by Satan, who had
certainly made a prey of it, had not Jesus
Christ been a sanctuary to it, M that hour
of danger. How ready did Ifind him to re-

did he make good and sweet promise to my

mill in no wise east one." It called to mind
that pretty and pertinent story ef the phi-

He took her out, and said, "Poor bird, 1

thine enemy, since thou corneae to me for

unto him: Blessed Jesus'! How should I

THE PUNE ETU.
The 3farvettous Invention of it Western

Prof. Richard do Long, the inventor of
tho new feline motor, is it tall, pale -faced
inn, with a three-story, bay window fore-
head overhanging a par of deep-set, sky.
blue eyes, set on mole aide of it large, thin,
hooked nose. Ile is not it beauty; but he
is a genius.
His feline motor, which at present
creating such A sensation in scientific circles
in Staughton, Wis., is a marvellous machine,
unique an appearance and wonderfulin oper-
ation. It may be deseribed as a curious
combination of largo and small fly -wheels,
great balance-waeels, bright steel rods, and
an almost innumerable number of coilsof cop-
per w i re, oll joined too Intgb tly polistedcylin-
der of brass, one mil ef which projects Into a
wire cage filled with ordinary cats. Its
opursttion is very simple, lint surprising in
its results. A slight pull on & small nickel -
plated lever starts the machine. Then like
ligInning from out tbe end of the cylinder
projeeting into the cage there shoots a long
steel arm aria hand, grabbing elle of the cats
by the nape of the neck and yanking it into
the cylinder, where it diseppeas with a yawl
of more than feline terror. In it moment the
fiy-wheels, the great balance -wheels, and all
or the complicated machinery begins to
move, at first slowly, but soon with startling
rapidne. At the proper moment, which is
indicates1 by it small clock -like attachment,
the operator pulls another lever, when from
out of the other end of the cylinder, with
hair and tail erect, scintillating eyes, and a
caterwaul (Relocating to one's spinal column,
the eat is projected into a tub of cold water
prepared for its reception.
This operation, surprising as it may seem,
extracts from the cat electricity equivalent
to the power represented by ten horses,
working for one hour. and this power can be
stored in the cylinder until needed.
As a cat can be run through the motor
every three minutes, and allthe accumulating
electricity be stored, the power of the ma-
chine is practically limitleks. The same cat
can be used once every ten hours without in
the least impairing its health tend general
usefulness.
The Professor is jubilant over the success
of his iuvention. He is satisfied that he hap
overcome every difficulty, and intends soon
to put the machines upon the market. In
speaking of the origin of the iuvention and
the probable results of its use, he says :
"1 have long believed that the cat is
nature's Leyden jar, charged with an enor-
mous amount of electricity, but in soch a
'manner as to require is peculiar process to
extract it. This process it has been my good
fortune to discover. The discovery will be
of incalculable benefit to mankind. It will
revolutionize the, meehanical World and be
felt in every department of life. By lie
.meous every family, to matter how poor,
can have its home brilliantly lighted' with
electricity at a less Cost than.tolave it poor-

amount of electricity can be engendered to

to alarge city. TakeleTew York, for example.
Carefully compiled statistics show that there
are at present within the city limits about

The court of inquiry which was immedi-

A Brave Mouse.
An amusing incident was witnessed some
time ago in a street in Liverpool, in which
a small mouse figured as a high wire per-
former, attracting the attention of a large
number of spectators of both sexes. When
the mouse was first seen he was on a tele-
graph pole, and is supposed to have come
from one of the telegraph conduits, which
are infested with mice. Froin the pole the
little rodent proceeded to walk deliberately
along one of the telegraph wires. He had
not advanced far when he was seen by two
sparrows, who immediately showed fight,
probably because they thought the wires
the exclusive properby of their tribe, and
resented the intrusion. The sparrows would
sweep down as near as they dared, giving
vent to their peculiar, shrill notes of anger;
but as the mouse also showed fight, they
were a little afraid of making too close an
acguaintanee. The two sparrows were soon
joined by others; and if their cries had been
of any avail would flame come off victorious.
As it was, the mouse travelled on to the
next pole in safety, and quickly deseendthg
to the ground, was soon lost to eight.
A Reputed Letter of Mohammed.
Prof. Karabacek, the well known Vienna
Orientalist, made an interesting statement
at the last sitting of the Pietism Academy of
Seiertee. It appears , that the -library ot the
Sultan of Turkey contains a letter of -Mo-
hammed which was discovered in the middle
•of the -century in Coptic monastery, and was

half a million .piastres. 1( 15 belie,ved to be
genuine, and•ts regarded by the whole Mo-

Karabacek, who has east doubts upon the
genuineness of the letter, now thinks that

Be Dia His Share.
It was in Indis, Dinner was just finieh-

offieers were sitting about the table. Their
bronzed faces had the sot but not unkindly
look common among military men. The
conversation, at beat, had not hem animat-

night wee too hot for small talk. Tile
Major of the regiment, a elemocut man of
fifty-five, turned toward his next neighbor
at the table, a young subaltern, who was
laming back in his chair with his hands
claapea behind bighead, staring through the
cigar smoke at the ceiling.
Tbe Major was slowly looking the man
over, from his handsome face down, when,
with sudden alertness, and in a quiet,
steady voice, he said:

"All right, Major," replied the subaltern,
without even turning bis eyes. "Hadn't
the least idea, of moving, I assure you.
What's the game?"
By this time all the others were listening
in alazily expectant way.
"Do you think," continued the Major,
and his voice trembled just it little, "Do
you think you can keep absolutely still for,
say, two minutes—to save your life 7"
"Aro you joking ?"
"On the contrary, move a muscle a,

quietly filled the saucer, walked with it
carefully around the table, and set it down
where the Major had indicated on the floor.
Like a marble statue sat the young subal-
tern in his white linen clothes, while a
cobra di capello which had been crawling
up the leg of bis trousers, slowly raised ita
head, then turned, descended to the floor,
and glided towards the milk.
Suddenly the silence was broken by the
report of the Major's revolver, and the snake
lay dead on the floor.
Thank you, Major," said the subaltern,
as the two men shook landswarmly. "You

You're welcome, my boy "replied the
senior. "But you did your share.'
Strange Story of a Ship's Captain.
An extraordinary oecurrencehappehed off
Dover on Sunday afternoon. A party of
Deal boatmen were cruising in the Channel
when the steaanship Nestor, from Iquique
to Hamburg, passed themsome distance off.
As the vessel proceeded they saw a man
jump from the ship into theses,. They rowed
to the spot in about a quarter of an hour
and rescued the man, who proved to be Om
captain of the ship, Mr. Weiss. He offered
them a reward of £250 to pick him up end
take him ashore, and he was event/ 44y
conveyed to an hotel at Dover, where he
was seen by the representatives of the (inc.
man Consul and a medical man. His hieesery
ie a very strauge one, and he still seehis
somewhat excited. According to his state-
ment, it appears that he was taken ill with
brain fever on the passage home, and for
some cause or other was put in irons, the'
mate taking charge of the ship. Upon en-
tering the Channel he was released from the
irons, but kept to his cabin. He states that.
he arranged with the cabin boy to give him
a signal when they mare in sight of a small
boat, and epee receiving the signal he a.t
once ran from the cabin and leapt over the
