THE CAT AND THE EAT. A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares for a Homeless Rodent. San Francisco Call. A laborc employed in one of the mills at Sutter creek has in his home one of the strangest families of animals in existence. The head of the family is an old cat, which is the mother of a thrifty family of kittens; but, in spite of the cares of motherhood, she has taken it upon herself'to provide for a rat that she has taken under her protection. During a storm about two months ago, a half-crow n rat, lame and nearly drowned, crawled into the house, evidently in search of food and shelter, and, by some chance, made its way to th place where the old cat lay snugly on the heap of sacks with her family. Strangely, the mother seemed to gaze with pity over the condition of the wanderer and, instead of attacking him, she soon made room for him and did everything to relieve his sufferings. The rat "displayed every sign of gratitude, and the mighty family, when'they discovered the intruder, were so struck with surprise that they for bade anyone to disturb them. The result was that the rat chose to re main with his new-found friends, and has now becom1! as docile as his foster mother. A warm attachment seems to have sprung up ueiween me mu uuu me rac nas grown tat and lazv. wanderincr about as it suits its fancy, and, evidently, pleased with its new surroundings. MENDIKG UGLY EAES. A Cap That "mil Train the Offending Mem bers Into Beauty. Of all ngly personal possessions big, un gainly ears have until recently received little hope of reconstruction. There have been helps for the skin, for the figure, but for the ears, nothing, absolutely, totally nothing, only earrings, which made the ap pendages look larger, or the pink tinting of Hrs. Kendal and Sara Bernhardt, which made them appear absurd. Kind progress, however, says' the St. Louis Tost-Dispatch, brings remedies to all, and men, women and children, even from big ears have redress, and need no longer be disfigured by their hideousness. Xo more ears need stand out as unmean ing screens on each iide of. the head. An ear cap has been invented which is no more than a light skeleton of tape and elastic These converge, fit over the ear and effectu ally, but without painful pressure, hold it in its place close to the head. The cap is in tended to be v orn at night, and as it is tied under the chin the wearer cannot sleep with his or her mouth open and' the nncomforta- Die napit or snoring is checked at the same time.

THE PENALTY OF A KlSS. AToungManMay Get a Mouthful of Bac teria for His Pleasure. Any charming young lady possessing a sweet rosebud mouth, with a voice upon which phlegmonis has fastened itself, can not be kissed without phlegmonis being the price paid "cash on delivery,"'by the per son who takes part with her in the dual bliss, says a physician in the New York Herald. Her perfumed breath, with the silvery tones and soft whispers, is filled with conta gion, in which microbes of marvellous form fly to new fields of pasture. Hosts of cun ning but riotous bacteria linger upon his coral lips waiting to board those of the mustached one who recklessly approaches. Phlegmonis is a sort of tonsilitis. The ordinary commonplace tonsilitis is not con tagious. Indeed, the ordinary form is merely an inflammation of the tonsils, which are glands in the back of the throat with secretions -aiding the process of swallow ing. An invasion of the glands by hosts of liptothrax, a bacterium, which is normal in the mouth, are the cause of this most troublesome inflammation. They are a vegetable microbe, which is always raging in the mouth and is nonrished by the saliva and bits of food that 'get into the holes of decayed teeth. This is the reason why peo ple who have had bad teeth are more apt to be troubled with tonsilitis. PEAELB FB0U TENNESSEE. A Hunter Who ts Getting Bleb, and Ex pects to Get Richer. Nashville American. Mr. J. Ii. Smith, of this city, is the great pearl hunter of Tennessee. 3?or a number of years past he has devpted most of his time during the summer months to this pursuit, and has taken pearls to the Value" of thou sands of dollars from the streams of Middle Tennessee. Mr. Smith .returned yesterday from Haft Shoals, on Stone river, a few miles from its confluence with the Cumber land, where he made a most successful two days' haul, which he estimates will return him something like $300. He brought back with him, besides num erous smalTpearls,very fine ones. One was a beauty, weighing ten grains; one weighed eight grains, two six grains, and one three grains. One of the six-grain and the three-grain pearls are purple, at present the most fashionable and most costly variety. The others are white. The largest pearls are generally freaks and are of irregular form, so that' they are worthless, because when the surface is rough or not symmetrical it cannot be polished, as it ruins the pearl to put the tool of the jew eler upon it. Mr. Smith says he expects yet to find the symmetrical big pearl that will make" him at once both rich and famous. NAME OF THE NEW METAL. A Hum Suggested as a Great Improvement Over AlnTTilntniTt, Oberlin Smith, who is an electrical en gineer with a philological turn, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "We have gener ally adopted the word 'wire' as a substitute for telegraph. We have shortened 'ele vated railway by successive stages down to 'The L.' It certainly seems desirable to have a shorter word than either aluminium or aluminum. The names of all of the com mercial metals are short and crisp, as gold, tin, zinc, lead, bronze, brass, steeL I have thought of 'alupm,' 'alim' and 'alium.' The last I think best. It is easy to pronounce. "T. C. Martin, the past President of the institute, is in favor of alium. Aluminium is the only one of elements that has a five syllable name. In writing 'aluminium' is worse than in ' speaking. To be, right one must count some 28 nearly similar up and down strokes of the pen after writing 'al.' Otherwise, there is apt to be a 'u' or an 'i' too few or too many. TAKE VICHY WITH LU0N. A Simple Method of Preventing the Dis coloration of the Teeth. Xew York Herald. Of all the various forms in .which iron is administered as a medicine, the tincture of the chloride of iron seems to have certain special virtues which the other preparations do not possess. Unfortunately, contact be tween this tincture of chloride of iron when acted upon by the saliva or when given, as is general, in a solution of water is most in jurious to the teeth. xjt. v eia nas discovered, however, after some years of experimentation, that this-astringent and acid preparation maybe, ad ministered in or with vichy water or' any other similar alkaline water without 'the Slightest ill consequences to the teeth, and that the iron itseff when so administered becomes, by the elimination of the free hydrochloric acid, a stronger restorative" agent and is more likely to be assimilated and tolerated by weak stomachs.

J, Lawrence & Ccsays "The anniversa ry of the Johnstown flood recalls a fact In relation to out local stock market which has often been commented on by brokers. That great disaster marked tho turning poins for both values and business, and from May 31, 1&S9, until May 31, 1891, Was one long sweep of downward prices, only relieved by occa sional rallies In a few specialties. It may be interesting to take a look backward for & monfent. In the flood year the market was running at full tide up until Decoration Day.. The weekly sales of stocks averaged 10,000 shares, and there wore heavy transactions In bonds. "Philadelphia Company, TVhichhad started the year at 35 ran up to 43, and it was a dull day when less than 500 shares Changed hands. Westinghouse Elcctrio opened the year at 34 and never stopped until it touched 63. Switch and Signal advanced over itw per cent in tnree montns, or irom 12V to 26. Citizens' and Pittsburg Traction had hfld tnelr phenomenal boom, when Cen tral Traction took Up the running and cov ered the ground between 21K and 32 in very Short order, while Its $375,000 6 per cent bonds sold in one block at 103 and quickly retailed at 105106. And so on throughout the the entire list. The trading was marked by confidence, andspeoulatoraandinvestors stopped waiting for reactions on which to buy. . "immediately after the Johnstown calam ity the situation changed. The downward wave in stocks was not so swift as the de structive torrent -which swept through the Conemangh Valley, but it was none the less productive of financial loss. The culmina tion was reached early this spring, when Electric Sold nt (,, Philadelphia Cohjpany at 8 Switch and Signal at 1, Central Traction at 17, and nearly all the other active stocks $5 to $40 a share lower. Such a Tremendous Shrinkage . in values has certainly discounted all the much-talked-of 'water' whtoh la said, to be represented in the various capitalizations, and we believe present conditions Justify a material rally. This rally began two months ago, bat it has been handicapped by the unsatisfactory status of affairs in the West inghouse Electrio Company. The .embar rassment of thi company has been an incubus upon the market, holding it down in spite of easy money and improved prospects of other properties listed on the exchange. Mr. Westinghouse personally assumed the herculean task of extricating Eleotrio from its troubles. 'He interested in it a Xew York banking house having an international reputation for Strength, and beside a number of financiers who are known evervwhere for their suc cessful management of large corporations. Having accomplished that much, he asked the co-operation of the stockholders in a plan of reorganization which he and his emi mentrassociates believe will place the em barrassed company on a paying basis. We believe that the proposed reorganization is preferable to a receivership, Decause the conbined financial ability of the backers of the nlan will be immeasurably superior to that of any man who could bo selected as a receiver. In our opinion, therefore, the Stockholders should act promptly in aiding the reorganization. "The embarrassment of the Westinghouse interests is to Pittsbnrg what the Baring Bros.' troubles were to London. In the latter instance the great bankers of England and the Continent came t the rescue, and the partners of the famous firm made a tempor ary sacrifice to prevent a greater disaster. In the case at home prominent bankers of New York and Boston have been Induced to ex tend relief, provided the stockholders (i. e., partners) ot the electric company will make a temporary sacrifice. The effect of an ad justment of the local company's troubles will be as favorable, proportionately, as that of the London firm. The Westinghouse group of stocks represent a capitalization of over $23,OQO,000, and all of them would be favorably afl'ected, while the remainder of the active list would respond In sympathy to improved conditions." The Significance of Gold Shipments. Henry Clews & Co. say In their weekly fe vlew of the financial situation: "The course of business on the Stock Exchange still turns almost entirely on the exports of gold. As foreshadowed in my last advices, the shipments have materially declined, having been about $4,000,000 for the week, compared With $7,000,000 last week; nnd although there is a sharp demand for bills, the probability Is that we are almost at the end of the move ment. At the moment there are considerable payments being made against the recent -j speciauy large imports oi raw sugar, inci dent to the repeal of the duty upon that article, the receipts of which since March 1 exceed those for the same period of lastyear by 100,000 tons, valued at $7,500,000. "The factor determining the future course of the foreign exohanges, however, is less whether there is still outstanding any im portant floating indebtedness against this pountry, than what Europe is likely to do under the increase of money that now rests in its great banks? Within the past two months, we have sent close upon $50,000,000 of gold to Europe; and, although the bank re turns do not show exactly where it all rests, yet such a large and sudden accession to cash reserves cannot tail to strengthen confidence in the foreign money markets and produce Oil CIlKlUSiUU Ul lUIlUlUg UUlllt. "Under tnese circumstances, it becomes not so much a question whether Europe will want moro of our gold, but rather whether it may not find It necessary to encourage the reflux of our money in order to find use for it. Such a situation as this shggests a Srobability that European bankers may Irect their agents here to lend more or less freely in advance of the anticipated return of 'gold in payment for our crops. It seems reasonable, therefore, to expect an early turn of the foreign exchanges in our favor. In the meantime, the rates of exchange at all interior points are at so high a premium on Xew York as to suggest the continuanco of frco receipts of currency by our banks. It is true that the receipts have been heavy during late weeks, the total net cash remit tances arriving here Iroin the interior since the middle of April having amounted to about $30,000,000, which, compared with the reflux of recent years, might seem to sug gest some probability that these receipts may soon decline. .But it is not to be overlooked that, during last fall, the Treasury let out some $70,000,000 of cash, which was drained off Into the In terior as fast as it came out, besides which the Treasurv hag since thattimelssnednear- ly $50,000,000 of new silver notes. It hardly seems unreasonable to expect that, with a comparatively qufetf condition of general trade throughout the country, this immense" inflation of the currency should be followed by a specially liberal spring and summer re turn of money to this center. Coupling this probability with the prospect of. favorable influences from Europe both before and after, the harvest, it would not seem that Wall street has any serious cause for apprehen sion about the course of the money market from this time forward." Makes a Good Showing. The following is culled from the fifth an nual report or the Wheeling Xatnral Gas Company. The financial statomentfor March 31, 1891, shows the total assets .to be $1,135, 559 65, after charging to profit and loss tho sum of $186,97453, being all erpenso accounts, costs of wells abandoned during the year, depreciation in leases, tools, etc., and the. dividends paid in October, 1890, and January," 1891, to wit: $23,200 00. Cash on hand, ac counts receivable, and other, items, aggre gate $47,557 88. ahowim? a surmus April 1, J.189V of $40,744 is, after deducting the Trailing , expenses for March, I89L the strmoflWi,-' 191 49m excess of capital and debt having been paid out of earnings. The earnlngs-for the year from the sale of gas amounted to flS0-2 2a 'be running expenses, etc., to $39,9S7 65, being $1,437 731034 than last year, notwithstanding the extensive field work this past, year and expenses incidental to the flood of February, Ei91. Tho plant now embraces 20 producing gas wells, 1 oil well and 145 miles of pipe. Ad ditions to the plant were made during the year ending March 31, 1891, by the expendi ture of $60,880 88 for drilling new wells and other field expenses, Tjeingover $40,000 less than was expended for the same purposes In the previous year, and with a better supply or gas as the result; $37,548 65 of did material, pipe, etc., was transferred from abandoned wells and lines and used In the new wells ana fleid lines. There still remains unsold and unissued $69,000 of the authorized Capital stock of $1,000,000. The advertisement of the Georgia-Alabama Investment and Development Com pany appears in another column.

THE Consul Bedloe's Impressions Marvellous Manner In Which Everything Fit for Food Is Utilized Domestio Life of "Women Held Almost as Captives. rconitEsrosDBxqE or the dispatch. Amoy, China, May 1 or 23d day, 3d moon, 17th year of Kwangsu. I am settled down in Amoy, and in that particular quar ter section known as the Island of Ku-lang-su. To pronounce this Oriental name cor rectly render the first syllable of the word like the call of a dove in love; the second as if it were the middle word of the good Scotch phrase Anld Lang Syne, and the third like the terminating vowel in Mountain Dew. It will be seen from this that the Amoy language is simple and euphonious. In fact, it is the simplest of the many Mongolian dialects, and to the ears of all Europeans, the most musical. Any word may have eight tones, three of which are indistin guishable by our race and five of which are clear-cut and effective. To hear an Amoy gentleman talking would drive an amateur elocutionist to despair with envy. It is like a chime of bells. Every syllable in the tongue closes with a vowel, and. none of the compound consonants so common to European languages' is ever employed. America's Enormous Shipping Interests. American commerce is not as lively as in former years nor as I might wish, I take a personal as well as patriotic interest in the matter, as every Yankee craft increases con-i sular income. There were only six here in the year 1890, and thus far 1891 has. seen none. These figures seem small, but they are larger than those of Corea, Honolulu, Samoa, Kamschatka, and several other great maritime powers. But it is very lucky for the hardy mariners of Europe that we do not engage more largely in seafaring. At the present moment we are giving profitable employment to British, German, Chinese, Malay, Dutch, Lascar, Scandinav ian and other races in transporting millions of pounds of tea, sugar, rice, silk, firecrack ers and works of art from the effete East to the land of the Stars and Stripes. "Were we to do it ourselves it would throw these industrious foreigners out of a job and put an end to two-thirds of the commerce of Europe. In davs when Commodore Perry and his fleet sailed the Asiatic seas, our ships dotted these waters and our flag floated everywhere. Our merchants controlled the markets and amassed the great fortunes which their descendants are now enjoying. But this is ancient history and the thrifty Yankee is now a practical stranger in the Flowery kingdom. Sea Business of the Chinamen. The giant commerce between this Empire and our own land and the maznificent profits derived thereupon belong to nations who ' have nothing in common with the Chinese or with us. Contrary to the state ments of mendacious travelers, the Chinese do as much maritime commerce as any European nation. The bay of Amoy is al ways crowded with native craft The ves sels "are not very handsome, but they are very cheap. They begin with the sampan, which is half) scow and halt gondola. It carries from 3 to 20 passengers and can neither capsize nor founder. Its owner lives in it, having a miniature stove and pantry, using the floor as a bed and making a nightly roof out of a bamboo mat. He pays ?12 for the sampan when new, spends $1 a year in brightening up the scarlet, ultramarine, gold and green paint with which it is decorated,, and charges 2 cents to ferry a passenger a mile. Then come the freight sampans, which range in size from a "Whitehall" boat to an 80-ioot lightert They bring tea, brick,tiles, terra cotta and produce to Amoy and carry away merchandise. A vast fleet of fishing boats is the next" to be noticed. They are clumsy and fragile things in appearance, but in reality are strong, swilt and sea going. Their occupants fish with trawl or dragnets, which they fasten to the stern.and are always successful. "What ihey catch is thrown into water tanks aboard and Delivered Alive a the .Fish Market. A coolie, with bamboo rod, gently, but constantly, stirs the fish to "keep them alive till sold. Still larger than the fishing smacks are the great trading junks, which in build and rig resemble the Spanish gal leons of the old buccaneer days. They are vast structures of bamboo, rattan and soft, light wood. The sails are constructed of crass mattine? stiffened with bamboo ribs. And, when set, look like bats' wings. These baits endountr th tWAMt tvnnoons with impunity, where a European ship .or steamer would founder in a few hours. Last are the China steamers. These are all of English or German make, and always have an Anglo-Saxon df some sort for cap tain and engineer. The crew, officers, agents and owners are Chinese. Ther do an ever increasing business, and are becoming for midable rivals to foreign coastwise com merce. These steamers are managed like our own. All the other Chinese boats are conducted in a very different manner. Each is a floating home or village. The smaller ones have one family on board; the larger two, three and up to ten. On these un wieldy craft the boatmen are born, grow up, marry, have families and die. Women Have Their Kightt at Sea. The women are as good sailors as the men; in Hongkong the commanders of most boats are women. The children are expert mari ners at 6 or 7 years of age. These boatmen are a hardy, intelligent and prolific race. There are said to be 3,000,000 of them in China, The all prosper financially, and many are quite wealthy, from a Mongolian standpoint, owning boats on the water and stores and houses on the land. "When they become pirates they are the most dangerdus and bloodthirsty extant, neither giving nor asking quarter under any circumstances whatever. How hard life becomes when a land is overpopulated! There are more than a million souls in and about Amoy alone. They are so crowded together, that when you see them vou foreet ther are human and imagine them ants or bees on a larger scale than usual. They have to live and they do it in a way that would astonish a citizen of the great Bepublic Labor is a drug in the market. An export joiner, carpenter or metalsmith receives 25 cents a day, $1 40 for a week or 55 25 a month. A laborer is glad to get 15 cents a day or $3 CO a month. An old woman or a small boy receives SI a month. Bow They Practice Economy. But to live upon these rates demands in mate economy, and this prevails everywnere in China. At low tide the beach' is crowded with men, women and children. They gather sea moss and Convert it into gelatin; sea weed and change it into a nutritious food; Bea worms and sea urchins and by slow cooking transmute these into mysterious stews and chowders. The driftwood thrown np by the sea is dried and utilized for fuel. Even the tiny animals which build little shell houses in the mud or under rocks and boulders are pried out one by one and served upon the dinner table. Two hundred scarcely fill a small cup, and require four hours' hard work to gather, but they are in the market erety day and sell for 3 Or 4 cents a pound. The children are trained to pick up dead leaves, sticks and straws and put them aside to dry until useable as fire wood. One child keeps a family supplied by working eight hours a day. , Necessity teaches them how to prepare for food what we consider worthless weeds. The tops of turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions, the seeds of watermelons, squashes, sunflowers and fruits, the entrails of animals, the fins and bones of fishes are all utilized, and, it mnst be confessed, made into very savory dishes. "WTiat can not be digested by the human stomach is reserved for the pigs, chickens and ducks, with which every coolie family is provided. Odd Things Made Palatable. Thus nearly all the vegetable growths have esculent tips when they begin to grow. The coolie housewife boils them until they are soft and digestible, cuts off the extreme portions for the human members of her household and puts aside the remainder for her various animals. I have seen gross, clover, thistles, cabbage stalks, cactus, century-plants, and even palm-tops treated in this way, and witnessed the delight shown by the people to whom thev were served as the chief dishes of their daily provender. The rich mandarins go the opposite ex treme and dine on birds-nests at $80 a dozen; on hand-fed gold fish, fattened frogs, tiger's livers, preserved duck's eggs, truffles, bam boo Oysters, cock's combs and other luxuries. Frequently a mandarin dinner will cost from $20 to S50 a plate: When it is remem bered that little or no wine is ued at these repasts, the extravagance of the cuisine is easily appreciated. The Women of Amoy. The domestic life of the Amoy Chinese is admirable and detestable. The wife is not a companion but a drudge. Unless she be longs to the coolie or boatman class, her feet have been bandaged in infancy so that her gait suggests a young boy learning to use stilts. Her costume is unique, consisting Of four to seven blouses, as many trousers, hose and low-cut shoes. She wears no hat and in lieu of gloves, buries her hands in the folds of her long sleeves. In appearance she is neat as a fashion plate. Her hair, oiled every day and sham Sooed evCrjt week, gleams like carved jet; er face shines from soap, water and fric tion; her clothes are spotless, and are brushed and ironed every morning. She is mild-mannered and courteous. But her ignorance is-unfathomable and her super stition a wonder. She burns joss-sticks at the door to keep away evil spirits; in the garden to scare mildew and parasites from ef plants; in the during room as an anti dote to poisons, and in the bedroom to intimidate the nightmare, burglars and wild beasts. Unhappy When Her Husband Prospers. She receives no company but the few. women of whom her husband approves. She knows no men outside of her family circle. It is a deadly insult to ask a Chinese gentle man how his wife is. She is sad when her better half makes money, because she fears he will take an additional wife or two and purchase one or more concubines. If he dies it is her duty prescribed by a custom 7,000 years old to commit suicide, so that her sons can erect a monument to their mother as "A Virtuous "Widow." She goes nowhere, reads little or nothing, sees no amusements and has no social pleasures. She never complains, because she has been taught to be what she is and no thought of change or difference has probably ever crossed her mind. , At times she catches a glimpse of Euro pean women, but regards them with more contempt and deeper loathing than the out casts other own sex and race. Her happi ness is in her kitchen, her garden and her children. It is through having nothing else to do that she has acquired her marvel ous skill in raising silk-worms, in spinning the thread, weaving the tissue and making the exqnisite embroidery for which China is famous. Edward Bedloe. TEE WOMEN OF BTJSSIA. A Dowry Isn't Thought of There and the Home Is Guarded. Whatever the faults of the Russians, they treat their women well, says the New York JVess. The daughters are the pets of the family, and there is no eagerness to part with them in marriage. Taking the Rus sian Empire as a whole, the number of moles and females is about equal, but among the Bussians proper of the better class one generally meets with more sons than daugh ters in a household. Perhaps this is a chief reason why the Kussian never thinks of asking for a dowry when he gets a wife. The Russian wife seldom has anything to do with her husband's business afiairs. She is a home body, and her home, as a rule, is a place of much more comfort than outside appearances might indicate. This applies to the middle classes, and even the peasant or artisan, if he can restrain his appetite for vodki, lives happily though rudely. The Russian army regulations are carefully framed with the view of guarding the home, and the married man, or the single man who is the sole support of a widowed parent, is exempt from military service save in the ex treme crisis that would summon everybody to arms.
