All druggists BROKE THE RIDING RECORD. 1 Half -Breed Who Made 22o Miles in Ten • Hours at a Gallop. FOR HOMELESS CATS. Institution Established by Pussy's Friends in Washington. The very severe winter weather which has been unusually prolonged in Wash- ington, has turned all charitable hearts to the consideration of the suffering that exists. The poor citizens have been cared for, to the extent of the means at hand; the birds have been fed by the kind-hearted, dogs are under the care of the District, but the poor, homeless rat, the friends of the felines say, would bo entirely forgotten were it not for the comparatively few members of the Washington Cat Club. If not neglected, possibly they would be maltreated by heartless persons. - For several years it has been the con- stant effort of the club, both in summer and winter to institute a home and a shelter for the downtrodden stray, the outcast and wanderer of the cat family, the much despised and ill-treated alley cat, which by reason of the carelessness and thoughtlessness of citizens is a nui- sance and a pest. The homeless cats of the city destroy property (the flower beds, young chickens, etc.,) disturb slum- ber ,wreck nerves and wring hearts through their sufferings at the hand of the small boy and the vicious adult, and are a menace to the health, not only of our pets, but of our children ants of our households. The cat's condition is not of its own making, it is urged. Its roving and night }fowling is not of its own seeking, but through the hardheartedness of man it is forced upon it. If a eat howls, it is condemned, but if it sits for .lours watching for a rat, inan's most despic- able pest, it gets neither credit nor re- ward, and when the snow is deep, and there is no way for it to get a morsel to eat, it is forgotten. It will not even be allowed a sheltered place, be it the cold of a back porch, to lay its weary, hungry, but patient body, if the ordin- ary human is cognizant of the fact. After many trials, the surmounting of many obstacles and with much hard work in conducting shows, and many hours of thought and discussion on the part of the club members, their object has been accomplished. A cat home ex- ists and has for several months past, and the energies that the club commands are taxed to maintain it. The home is located at 1830 32nd street northwest, directly opposite the old reservoir, one of the highest points of the city. It is a neat little two-storey basement brick house, nicely painted and kept by the couple in charge in the prime of neat- ness and good order. The basement rooms are set aside for the cats, and runs in the large yard forty by sixty feet have been erected. The yard is protected on the north by a - stone wall surmounted by the regulation fence, making an enclosure at least four- teen feet high and on the west by a brick building, which, as will be seen, protects the runs on the north and west whence the cold winds blow. A hydrant in the yard supplies plenty of fresh water, and several large shade trees will produce the necessary shade in summer. There are quite a number of cats being cared for at present, and all who wish are cordially invited to pay a visit to the refuge. Boarding pet cats is one of the fea-- tures and its only source of revenue. The whole object in the organization of the Washington Cat Club was the en- deavor to protect and in every way bet- ter the condition ofh t' ofthe domestic cat,by fostering the love of them, improving the breed of the best varieties, caring for the homelese ones and painlessly riding the lives of the hopelessly sick and maimed. With this object in view, it is the earnest wishof t e t theclubtocon- tinue the refuge and home where the broadest humanity and best methods of care for these beautiful and useful crea- tures are employed. To accomplish this the club asks the co-operation of all those interested in the real wel-fare of the cat in lessen- ing the number of vagrant, starving ones in our streets and alleys. It is hop- ed that those interested will join the club and that contributions for the maintenance of the home will be forth- coming. Bearding cats will be fed and cared for in strict accordance with the own- ers' wishes and instructions. They will be called for and delivered free, within the city limits. A small fee will be ellar rete for calling for stray eats.-- Witehiegton Star.

"I remember one trip an old friend or mine made, a big cattleman from Iiitti- taseo unty, afterward the owner of eon- siderable property in Seattle. His di- vorced wife was living here, and she took it into her head to go after him through the courts for nonpayment of alimony. There were a number of reasons why he shouldn't pay, but lie didn't care to stay here and argue it out with the courts, so, getting a tip on what was doing, he decided to go back to the cattle in Kitti- tas. "About 6 o'clock one evening, accom- panied by his horse wrangler, who hap- pened to be with him, he struck out on horseback for Ellensburg. The two rode all night—'it was in midsummer and at the full of the moon—and the next morning they ate breakfast in Ellens- burg -110 miles away And they didn't think it was much of a ride at that. "At that time nearly -all the Indians on the reservation had a half-breed or at least one pretty good horse in their riding strings. This particular young half-breed boy had an extra good one, and he was selected to curry the des- patches, being a reliable and faithful fellow. Well, he rode .through to Walla Walla in 10 hours, a distance of 120 miles, and during the ride he never slow- ed down from a gallop. That was in midsummer, and if you ever have been in that Snake River region at this season of the year you can imagine that was some riding."—Seattle Post -Intelligence. 1=1 THE POSTMASTER TELLS HIS SECRET His Health Mainly Due to the Use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Hospices of the Alps. The Hospice of St. Gothard, which a despatch from Geneva says has just. been destroyed by fire, was useful in its day, but that day has been past for about ten years. -tithe construction of the St. Goth- ard railway has put the foot traveler by that route, lost in the snow,. and found by intelligent dogs, wholly out of busi- ness; and of late the old hospice has served as an attachment to a rather modern ]hotel, where one can live in more or less comfort for 8 or 9 francs a day. The famous )hospice is that of St. Ber- nard, further west, that. was founded by Bernard de Menthon in 962, and that is still doing useful work on a rather reduced. scale. The original St. Bernard dogs are believed to have come from the Spanish Pyrenees, but it is said that the old breed is extinct. These hospices were really the mountain hotels of the old days, those who were saved being expected to express their gratitude by liberal gifts; and in the middle ages sten did pay royally for that kind of service. In these later years most per- sons give about the usual hotel rates, while the modern facilities of travel through the Alps make a large number of the visitors mere sight -seers. The St. Gothard building doubtless had its reco•}lectiony, but for all the practical uses of a mountain hospice it was merc- y a relic of conditions and needs that no longer exist.—Hartford Courant.

Forty-seven replied that they contemplated. increasing their expendi- ture from 15 to 00 per cent, over last year. Forty-two said that if they should advertise more extensively they could not handle the increased busi- ness. The remaining eleven, for various reasons, declined to be interviewed.

How Flounders Are Caught, Flounders, called "flukes" in the More- cambe Bay district, says the London Graphic, are caught by means of stake - nets pegged far out over the expanse of yellow, treacherous sands. These nets are -valuable, and aro from a foot to 18 inches in height, and about three hun- dred yards in length. They take the form of a vast crescent when hi position, and prevent the fist from being swept far out to sea by the outgoing tide. As soon as the tide has left the nets, the fishermen come and clear them, some- times taking thirty or forty .pounds.of fish from the gutter behind them. Oc- easionally a salmon is captured, and in f winter curlews and ducks get entangled in the meshes. LADIES send name f nndaddroea nett yell will LOCUS a OOOIPO17NDaL00UM'a PENNYROYAL TEA.

Sometimes their faith is tested by occasional travellers. A mis- sionary fresh from that northern terri- tory relates the following of how one Indian explained his faith: "After being ridiculed about his religion for some time by a white man whom lie was carrying down the river in a canoe, the Indian without a word in reply pushed his canoe alongside the snow covered ice, dropped his paddle, and, taking up his hatchet, heaped the snow, then cut a square in the ice. Lifting out the ice, he exclaim- ed: 'See! See water, see ice, see snow! Put in kettle, boil, all one. You don't know, I don't know; believe just the same!'" :s Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. • Knew Its Age. Minnie, who was five years of age, sties sitting in a door attending to the wants of a large family of dolls. One of thein was ratner soiled and weak in the joints. "How old is that dollie ?" inquired Cousin Jim, who there on a visit. "She is who years old," promptly answered Minnie. "Why, Minnie," laughed Jim, "she's not as ancient as that." • "James," and her large blue eyes show- ed her indignant surprise, I think I ought to know the ages of my own chil- dren." Minnie was right, it had been her grandmother's doll.—New York Globe.

He usually demands to know wily the man does not secure some such emtloymont asz, he would be capable of doing. The man moll le by asking for employment. ilo admits that there ought to be many things that he could do, if he could only get a chance, The man who has tried to argue with ono 01 these maimed beggars has not found it easy to score a victory over him. The beggar is maimed, somebody ought togive him a chance to earn a useful Ilving—you can't give him the cbanco but you can give him a quarter. And you do give hliu one. So noes the neat man he calls pn, and be really has a better paying job than any he could fill 1f ho had his two legs.

Now comes the professor of an easter col- lege and declares that the earth fa becoming unsteady on its axis, and that we need not be surprised at any wobbling effects. That's all right for a stage college professor to put up that kind of a talk, but the average citizen will not get very far with it. No living imagination is required to guess the language the ordinary wayfaring husband would hear if he roiled in about 2 a. m. and tried to explain his usteadiense by quoting that professor's talk about the earth's axis being afflicted with locomotor ataxia. It won't do. It's much wiser to fol- low the old method of pleading guilty and throwing yourself on the mercy of the court.

The Liebig Co., 179 King St. W., Toronto. Smoothing the Waves Ahead. (Philadelphia Ledger,) Vice -Admiral Guimares, of the Brazilian ' navy, has brought forward a 'bottle gun." The gun is made of bronze, but the chamber at the breech which contains the propelling charge is of steel, The projectile, which is loaded at the breech, is an ordinary wine bogie filled with sawdust steeped in oil. When the gun is discharged the bottle is broken and its contents scattered over the water for a considerable distance. By dis- charging the gun every five minutes a smoother pathway is made for the advancing fleet. 1 1: Lever's Y—Z (Wise Head) Disinfectant Soap Powder is better than other powders, as it is both soap and disinfectant. se Failed to Pan Out Right.
