Lady 117arcus Beresford, who founded England's Cat Club, is said to have the best cattery known, and it contains over e hundred and fifty felines. She has, of course, the choicest breeds, rare Persians, chinchillas with their bushy tails, and Manx cats without any tails whatever. She has a- cat cottage, where every pro- vision has been made for comfort and cleanliness, ventilation and warmth. In this cottage is a room for the woman who cares for the cats, and there is a little kitchen in which the meals are prepared for thein. The food is served in bowls and on plates enameled white. and these, when not in use, are ranged in racks when to the walls. The menu of the cats is by no means re- stricted, and during the summer vege- tables are served with their meat, which is often minced. Fish and rice are an- other dish. Swiss milk is served in abundance, and milk from goats kept on the premises is fed to delicate kittens. Another of her catteries is covered with rose vines and has three rooms provided with shelves and many things for the amusement of the animals. Each Thomas eat has his own sleeping space, closed in with wire opening on a large grass plot, where he exercises daily in solitary state, it being the rule that two Thomas cats be not allowed to meet for fear of a repetition of the famous Kilkenny fracas. An Interesting Document. Probably the first treaty of peace to be typewritten is the South African peace document, The signatures of the Boer Ieaders form an interesting part of it. They are all in different styles. Louis Botha's is described as being in a fine hand, and though the others are somewhat rougher, Delarey's is the rough- est of all. He has spelled his name 'split into three syllables, de la rey. Christian de Wet is also spelled with a small d. Minard's Liniment Cures Burns, etc. A Housewife's Suggestion. A woman employing s. number of ser- vants has been heard to say that she did not know the names of any of her girls —that is, their surnames; whether they bad any relatives or other home than the ane she afforded them; she knows Roth - Eng about their lives whatever, and never talks With them except on business, and then in the fewest words ,opssible. She holds thta sociability breeds familiarity, and that a servant is worthless from the time you treat her in any way as .an equal. This mistress takes no more in- terest, apparently, in her maids than in the stranger within her gates.. There is no look or word of sympathy; no thought of the pleasures and disappoint- ments of her servants, who are giving their strength and sinew for what she Balls "good wages." Everything she gives them "is too good for them," as she frankly expresses herself. This woman, with the keeping of pre- cious souls in her care, under her own roof, goes to church every Sunday, and to •mid -week prayer meeting, and, like the Pharisee of old, prays loud and long €n conspicuous places 'for the heathen, and sends large sums through foreign missions to them. How much more Cheistlike and unselfish would be the re- ligion that could put her in touch with the home mission beneath her own roof, wirers, by putting out her hand, she could lend encouragement to some tired, disenunagged mortal, whose spirit needs uplifting, and whose body needs medical. treatment she has neither the means nor strength to secure.—Frances Van Etten In Leslie's Weekly.

The ordinary marriage customs of the Orient, says the Lady's Pictorial, are re- versed in Thibet. Instead of the men having a plurality of wives, the women have the privilege of a plurality of hus- bands. I was shown lately a photograph of one of these ladies, a rather pretty young woman of not more than two -and - twenty, who was the proud possessor of four husbands; she looked fairly cheer- ful and was—I am told—rather'nice and 'bright in manner, and altogether quite a superior specimen of a Thibetan woman. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. The Duties of the National Campaign Chairman are Onerous. The relations of the national cam- paign chairman to the presidential'can- didate, are supposedly of the most in- timate sort. The chairman is naturally given free rein, and though he often pays close heed to what his chief wants, as often as not he has to oppose his prin- cipal's plans. He has to edit the candi- date's letters and speeches; and goose- flesh comes out on slim every morning as he picks up the newspaper, for fear that some unfortunate speech has been uttered, an indiscreet letter sent, some ancient sentiment unearthed, or some other "break" made. It has happened so often that the fear of such a thing is ever befor him. .After the "Rum, Romanism and Rebel- lion" speech of Burchard, in I884, the Re- publican national committee spent for- tunes telegraphing to party newspapers all over the country extracts from Blaine's speeches, in which he heel Oo of- ten expressed himself in favor of relig- ious liberty. It was in vain. That error was never corrected. Religious preudice is very strong, and the use which the Democratic managers made of the speech was far more effective than all the ef- forts to correct the false position into which the candidate is placed. Since that occasion no candidate is addressed by a delegation without submitting his re- marks to a committee. Usually the can- didates must write out what they intend to say on any occasion, and it is gone over with a microscope. Benjamin Harri- son was so afraid of being entrapped that in his first campaign he had a hall hired at Indianapolis, where all delegations came. There were no people on platform, and he would emerge from the wings, make a few remarks, and retire. This course was taken at the suggestion of Quay.—Joseph M. Rogers, in Booklovers Magazine. Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. Subconscious Influence.

New Cure for Flies The science of entomology has not at- tained the limit of achievement. It has done much, for which, thanks. If it has not conquered the mosquito it has given him trouble. And to render a mosquito uncomfortable is to be a friend to man. Science has not banished the insidious moth, but it has placed in the house- wife's hands sundry potent and pungent scents which it is declared will make almost any moth leave the room. Cer- tain it is that if a man were a moth he would withdraw. But there is evidence that some moths a-ctually play ball with moth balls, bathe themselves with s.' its of camphor, build their nests ' shavings, and on cold nights selves in tar .•rer.

The only thought of these men seemed to bo to conceal their wounds. They hurried into the thick of the fray—and upon them was that thievish air which you sometimes catch in a bad boy or a man who is hounded—the air which seemed so ill at ease on the face of a Nippon soldier, and so striking, too, because so rare. They were frightened, these fellows, who laughed in the face of death, lest they might be caught by the hospital corps. At first the officers so foolishly took the trouble in telling taese wounded to look after themselves a little more carefully, but they met a blank wall whenever they sang that tune." There was a fellow to the right of me somewhat up the stream, who was also push- ing ahead. Suddenly he turned a somersault in the stream; the stream brought him down rather close to where t was wading, and he gained his feet atc:ost In front of me. He seemed to be dazed for a fraction of a sec- ond. He raised his hand to his forehead, from which blood was dripping. 1r was very evident that a spent bullet hit him upon the forehead and knocked him down into the water. lie dug his fingers into the bullet hole. The bullet did not strike him square against the forehead. It glanced around his head, piercing the skin only and stopped just above the temple. He stuck his finger into the hole and took out the bullet. He looked at it curiously for about a tenth of a second and put it into his pocket, and rushed straight ahead.—From an account of the Bat- tle of the Yalu, taken from Leslie's Monthly Magazine, by a Japanese officer in command of a brigade. • ENGLISH SPAVIN LINIMENT Removes all hard, soft or calloused Iumps and blemishes from horses, blood spavin, curbs, splints, ringbone, sweeney, stifles, sprains; cures sore and swoolea throat. coughs, etc. Save $6O by the use of one Bot- tle.

A rose garden, which will be filled with roses, rare shrubs and foliage, is now being laid out at Pocantico hills at a cost of $50,000, according to the Chicago Chronicle. The plans of the gardens— there really are three gardens, connected by a terrace and odd stone steps—were drawn by John D. Rockefeller, jun., for his father, after ideas furnished by the latter ,and when they are completed there will be nothing like them on any private estate in the country, with the possible exception of those on George J. Gould's Georgian court. All of the ser- vants have been instructed to give out no information concerning the new man- sion on Kybuit Mountain, and even the lips of the stable help are sealed. When you think you have cured a cough or cold, but find a dry, hacking cough remains, there is danger. Take ISSUE NO. 42 1904.

In destroying Rats by poinson a para- doxical susceptibility has been noted. When you want to kill a man by poison you give him a big dose, while if you give him a small quantity daily the whole may be eliminated without fatal effects. On the other hand, it has been determined that rats have a peculiar resistance to arsenical poisoning when given in large doses, while frequently they were destroyed by small doses be- fore the total quantity had reached an amount equal to single doses that were successfully withstood.
