the proprietor has some difficulty in keeping a supply
for the increasing demand. Medical agencies, groce

boats, keep a supplyon hand. It is called for every
where, and will sell in any place. The reason is this
everyone who has a cough or cold byeating a few sticks
find themselves cured, as it were, by magic. Perseus

I reverted to my pillow, and fell into a train of con
jectures touching the grimalkin. Possibly ft might

thought of others—then I slept.
I cannot declare to a second how keg nay fitful
slumber lasted, before I was started from my bedby
a yell, which proceeded apparently from a cat In my
room. I had just been dreaming of segreat mouser,
with years like a jackass; and claws, armed . with.Jong
"pickers and aeaiters," sitting am my Desoto, and
sucking away my breath. I sprang at once into the
middle orate room. I' searched everywhere- cow*
was in the apartment. Then there rushed tomato*
the zenith one universal cat-shriek, which went mho
ing ofi' on the oighowind like the reverberation of a
sharp tbundeopeal.
My blood Was now ttp for vengeance. One haidgry
and fiery wish to destroy that diabolical ceterwataler
took pcssessiun of my soul. At, that instant the Meek
struck one. It was the death knell of the feline vo
enlist. I looked out of the window, and in thelight of
a stray lot of moonshine streaming through ibis tall
chimneys to the southeast, I saw bliss Dillon's' roman

The death of One of these noisy belligerents being de
termined on, I looked round my room for the tools of
retribution. Not a moveable thing, however could I
discover, save a new pitcher, which bad been seat
home that very day, and to which my name and ad
dress were appended un a bit of card. I clutched it
with a desperate fury, and pouring into my bowl the
water

of the iniquity of his doings. I approached the win

Its reception was acknowledged by a food choking
squall—a faint yell of agony, and then a respectful
silence. Satisfied that my pitcher had been broken
at the fountain of life, and that the silent tabby walla

slept with thesoremty and comfort of-one WhO isettit

In the morning, the cat was found ''keeled up" o s

Another source of buman deterioration is a loos as.

may, both history and observation testify to the feet,
that the issne of marriages between parties related by
consanguinity always degenerate. They become en

practice, which .is fostered principally by all the false
pride of rank, has reduced almost to dwarfishaeas
