Hissing and spitting by young kit tens, even before they see, was in the first place probably an attempt to in timidate enemiet. by making them think that the hole where the helpless ivild kittens resided contained a venomous snake. It is a very curious and remarkable fact that many differ ent kinds of creatures which have their homes in shallow holes have a similar habit of spitting when an enemy approaches. Furthermore, it is probable that the expression of a cat at bay is part of the same instinc tive stratagem. We know, says a Writer in Peai son's Weekly, how gen eral is the horror of the serpent tribe throughout all nature, and hence it seems likely that the serpentlike as pect of the head of an enraged cat, to gether with its threatening hiss, might disconcert an enemy sufficiently to give an advantage to the cat. b *m /r RS.

But here we are in the streets of a town which antedates all other cities of the United States—a pueblo whioh occu pied this very spot when, in 1540, Coronado halted in Cibola and sent Don Pedro de Tobar onto the west to explore the then unknown desert. Imagine seven rather irregularly par allel streets about two hundred yards long, with here and there a more open spot or plaza, lined on eaoh side with mud-plastered, rough-laid stone houses, and you have Oraibi. The houses rise in the form of terraces to a height of two or three stories. The roof of the first row or terrace of houses forms a kind of balcony or porch for the seoond terrace, and so the roof of the second-story houses serves a similar useful purpose for the third-story houses.—From"The Hopi Indians of Arizona," by George A. Dorsey, in Appletons' Popular Sci ence Monthly. The Saltan's Day. The Sultan of Turkey rises at 6 o'olock every morning, and devotes his days, in the seclusion of the Yildi2 palace and gardens, to personal atten tion to affairs of state. He is of slight build. A pale-brown overcoat con ceals any decorations he might be wearing, so that the attention of those who see him on the one day in seven when he presents himself to the view of the people is not diverted from his pale, wan and care-worn face, half-cov ered by a thin brown beard, tinged with gray, and surmounted by a plain red fez. The Sultan has been the means of establishing 50,000 schools throughout his empire, not only for boys, but for girls also—a striking de parture from the traditional usage of his race. More Irish Repartee. Many good stories are told in legal circles in Ireland of encounters be tween lawyers and judges in court. John Philpot Currau, in the early days of his struggle at the bar, ap peared in a case before Lord Chancel lor Clare, and laid down some points of law which did not find favor in the mind of the judge. "If that be law I may as well burn my books," said Lord Clare. "Better read them, my lord," replied Curran.—New York Gael. THE RAINY DAY.

Evorytbing else they have taken away from me, because some loggerheaded old ancestor of mine signed his name to a deed 'John B. Robinson' instead of 'John C. Robin son.' As if one letter of the alpha bet could make any difference! I've no patience with people ! The majesty of the law, indeed! Pshaw!" "But if the rest of the property be longs to your Cousin Robinson, so does the tower," suggested Mrs. Mil roy. "I can't help that, "said Mis Isidora. "Here I tun, and here I wean to stay, law or no law." Mrs. Milroy opened her weak eyes. Feeble as a kitten Herself, she could scarcely comprehend such valiant re solution in another. "But if they come here with the sheriff, and a posse comitatus, and a writ of his habeas corpus?" she fal tered. "Then," said Miss Isidora, "they'll have to clear out again. Common sense is common sense. The house is mine, and I mean to keep it. l'va got new bolts and bars to all the doors, and I keep n kettle of boiling water on the stove night and day, and my friend, Mr. Jeffreys, who is clerk in a law otilce, has given me the hint never to let in a man with a bug." "Why uot?"breathlessly questioned Mrs. Milroy. "Don't you see?" said Isidora,snap pishly. "Because it will be full of law papers. Writs and summonses, and all that sort of thing." "Oh!" said Mrs. Milroy. The Tower was hers, and the tower she meant to keep. And Hebecca, her little maid, was stik-keu with breathless admiration for her w&rlike qualities. "But, of course, mn'am," said Rebecca, "nobody can stand against the law." "I'll see whether they cau or not!" said Miss Isidora Ives. "Be sure you keep the kettles well filled, Rebecca, and don't let the lires go out day or night." Aud whenever she received through the mail a letter with a legal appear ance, or au envelope crested with the firm addreHH of Messrs Tape <fc Str ingham, her cousin Kobiuson's lawyers, she invariably poked it be tweeu the bars of tlic giate, and smiled vindictively to see the blaze. "What are we to do with such a case as this?" said Tape, whou he heard all this. "Putin a sheriff's officer at once," said Stringhum. "The woman is a trespasser, and has been all her life." "No, no, no!" said Mr. Tape, bland ly. ".She's a woman. No harsh mea sures. It is Gideon Kobinson's ex press injunction that all courtesy be shown to tho defendant. We'll try something else before we proceed to extremities." Aud one pleasant October afternoon when the air was all blue mist, aud the setting sun shone as if through a medium of opaque gold, the landlord of the Toplady Arms caoie putting up the hill with a stout pleasant-laced gentleman, and rang the bell, which echoed like a double chime through the tiny tower. "Go away!" said Miss Isidore, from the window, spying the tops of two hats. "Oh, ma'am!" squeaked liebecca over her shoulder, "shall I get the gun?" "I beg pardon, ma'am," said the stranger, "but " "Go away, I say!" sternly repeated Miss Isidora Ives. "Kebecca, bring in that kettle! I'll have you to under stand that I am not to be trifled with." But by this time mine host of the Toplady Arms had stimultaneously re covered his breath and his jjiesence of mind. "Miss Ives," he putted, stertorous ly, "don't be Hustrated! It's only Israel Jenkins." "Bless the man's heart!" said Miss Isidora, "why didn't he say so before? And what on earth did you want here, Jenkins?" "It's a lodger, Miss Ives," said Jenkins, who had married Miss Isi dore's old nurse, aud somehow felt himself to be connected with the family. "A—lodger?" repeated Miss Ives. "This isn't a man alive!" "Yes'm—l'm quite aware of that," said Israel, meekly. "And where 110 offense is intended, it's hoped as none will be took. But, knowing as you was alone and unprotected " "I don't know what you call un protected," brusquely interrupted Miss Ives. "I've ggt a loaded gun aud a six-gallon kettle of boiling water here." "And," mildly went on Israel Jeu kius, "this 'ere gentleaiau, a Mr. Marshall of Alabama, wanted a pleas ant lodging in the neighborhood, which meals could be took at the T»u lady Arms—though oar apartments ia all occupied with the gentry as come to fish and shoot, through October— and November—and it might be a con solation to you. Miss Ives, to have a gentleman about the premises." Mr. Marshall proved himself a quiet and peaceable member of the little household. He liked dogs,and allowed Miss Ives' King Charles spaniel to sleep, undistnrbed, amid the papers on bis table. He was partial to birds, and entered at ouce into the most friendly of alli ances with the parrot and the macaw. He grafted Miss Isidora's orange tree for her, and showed her a new way to train her wax plants. And at the end of fonr weeks Miss Isidora put into execution a plan which she had been forming. "Mr. Marshall," she said, "it's a great deal of trouble for you togo three times a day tramping down that long hill to the Toplady Arms and back again. You are no longer a stranger to us here. We have learned to respect and trust you. If you choose to take your meals with us here, I shall be quite williug to sub mit you to my frugal table, as a friend." Mr. Marshall's countenance changed oddly. He made a curious sound in his throat as if he were swollowing something. "Miss Isidora," he said, "I can't." "Can't!" repeated the lady. "Nothing could induce me to eat salt under this roof," said Mr. Mar shall, incoherently. "Bless and save us! Is the man mad?" cried Miss Isidora Ives. "I am, socially speaking, a fraud," said the stranger, "a forgery." Miss Ives sat down on the sofa in a helpless way and stared at him. "But your sweet graciousness and kindness have conquered me," added Mr. Marshall. "What do you mean?" said Miss Ives. "Just this," said the stranger. "I am here on l'alse pretenses. I am your cousin, the plaintiff. .Wy name isn't Murshull, but Gideon Marshall Robinson." "Ma'am," whispered the heartless maid, who turned absolutely green ou hearing the name of the fumily enemy, "shall I bring the kettle of boiling water?" "Bebecca," says Miss Ives, "hold your tongue and go out and feed the young turkeys. lam fully competent to mauage this matter myself." And ttebecca, feeling herself put down, departed. "I came here," went ou Mr. Robin son, "to Icok into the facts of the case myself. I have heard of your pre judices against me " "Yes, 1 think so," interposed Miss Ives. "And I do not blame you for them," said Mr. Robinson. "Now that lam personally acquaiuted with you. Miss Ives, nothing could induce me to pro secute this " "Iniquitous claim!" interposed Isidora. "Iniquitous claim!" acceded Mr. Robinson, with a repetition of the swallowing sound. "Just what you please to call it. I respect you as a lady, but 1 appreciate you as a rela tive; but, of course, knowing who I am,you cannot tolerate me any longer as your friend. I will pack my bag and depart at once. I can only feel regretful that I have deceived you so long. I feel myself to be a hyprocrite aud a swindler!" He waited meekly to receive the full tide of Miss Isidora's curbed wrath. She put oat her plump little hanj, with four dimpleß iu the four joints. "Don't go!" she said iu a low voice. "What!" cried the incredulous plaintiff. "There's no reason why we shouldn't be friends," said Miss Ives, in her odd, brusque way. "Things seein so very different, now that we are acquainted with each other. Couldn't we—compromise?" "Isidora," said Mr. Robinson, "we'ro cousins, you know, twice re moved. I may call you Isidora?" "Oh, certainly!" said Miss Ives. "We are the two last seeming heirs," "Plaintiff and defendant," nodded Isidora. "Exactly so. Now it has just oc curred to me—l mean, I've been thinking of it for some time—that if we were to unite our claims " "To get married, do you mean?" said Isidora, bluntly. "Yes, precisely. It would put an end to all litigation," pleaded Mar shall Robinsou. "Would you be will iug to marry me?" said Mr. Gideon Marshall Robinson. "Y-yes!" said Isidora. "I think I should. I'm not young, but then six aud-thirty is not absolutely old." "You are a rose in full .bloom," said Mr. Robinson, enthuiastically, "and I myself am not a mere boy, it must be remembered." "And if people should laugh at us, why w 'll let them laugh," said Isi- j dora. "And we'll lnugh, too," said the middlo-aged lover, cheerfully. The tire was allowed togo down, the kettle cover taken off, the charges drawn fro i the gun, and the Tower pronounced to be uo longer in a state of sie^e. And this is the way in which the famous case of Robinson vs. Ives, which had promised to swell the fees ! of lawyers innumerable for the next ten years, was removed from the court of records. And no one was so- ry except the legal gentleman aforesaid. Kxtrein* Fool hard In ens. "Oi like courage," said Mr. Ifaf ferty, "but I don't like recklessness wid it."

(The waist in this illustration, taken from Harper's Bazar, oan be made In flannel, silk or satin, but should have a silk vest, and the fronts must be outlined with either black braid or black velvet ribbon.) made of French flannel, and are an lined. They are regular shirt-waists with a yoke in the back, or plain back and with just a little fulness in front, ind are fastened with small gilt but THREE UP-TO-DATE ions. They are made in plain flannel tn all light shades, and also in the polka-dotted flannel. The very pret tiest are blue with a tiny polka dot of pink or red, while the red and blue with black polka dots are always smart. This is by no means an eco nomical fashion, as the waists soils very quickly; but it is a very pretty one, and there is much more warmth in the flannel waists than in the silk ones. One style of flannel waist is a little more elaborate and really more useful; it is made of plain flannel, red or blue, is cut out in a square at the neck, and has a chemisette and stock collar of black satin; and on the jleeves, that are in coat shape, are small turned-over cuffs of blaok satin. These are pretty waists, and are fash ionable with any skirt. Walking Gown* That Are Up to Date. The large engraving shows three of the swellest early winter gowns. That on the left is a tailor importation from Paris. Green broadoloth in two shades is the material, with appliques of yellow lace. The jacket is very stunning, with elaborate stitchings and strapped seams. It falls away from the shoulders with a peculiar effect, showing the yoke and its lace embroidery. The gown in the centre is striotly English. It is made in one of the lat est gray checked suitings, severely plain, with strappings of the same material. A vivid scarlet girdle and collar give a desired bit of color. The gown on the right is a dainty brown satin foulard banded with coral moire. The bodice is made plainly, with a tucked vest of creamy chiffon. A Feather Season. The greatest ingenuity is expended at present in the making of birds of wonderful plumage, and wings of iri descent hue, out of the feathers of the humble but necessary barndoor fowl. Of course it is much to be commended that such good results can be ob tained by the feather manufacturers without the slaughter of ocuntless wild birds of the woods, and we can enjoy,with easy conaoienoe, the many elegant feather-trimmed sbapeaux that will this season be prepared and sold. For this is undoubtedly to be a feather Veason—from the beautiful and ex ptosi v ?aradise ospreys and ostrioh pfani i quills, wings and couteaux of the manufacturer's creation. The wings, very pointed in most cases, will be smartest when backed with some bright or soft color contrast, and it appears that their most fashionable position on the hat or toque will be with the points turned downward. Deelcns or the "All-Over" Luce*. There are many stylish "all-over" laces with round dots half an inch in diameter and with email conventional figures that are to be made up in original ways this winter, the cream lace over white silk for waists. Many laces have patterns in chifl'on set into net in black and white. There are the appliqued and embroidered net and one not in the trade could scarce ly begin to name them all There are variations in so many ways of so many laces that it is difficult to tell t'other from which, and names used in the trade make only a necessary distinc tion and are beyond the grasp of the multitude. For PocketleM Womankind, Reticules of suede in fawn, gray or colors to match the gown are bestowed by Dame Fashion on pocketless wom ankind The frames of these baprs are of gold or silver, and many are stud ded with gems, big Oriental pearls, eastern turquoises and sapphires and roughly cut bits of lapis lazuli, jade and other beautifully colored stones. Bags of curious Japanese and Persian leathers are ornamented by flowers, dragons, and masks of silver, bronze and gold, and one bag of gray leather has a frosty silver frame studded with coral, and the chain by which it is carried is made entirely of Persian coins. Fancy Luce Becoming Popular. There is a great and growing de mand for fancy lace and embroidered goods. Two Striking Garments. A long cloak that might answer for either a driving or a traveling wrap is made of cheviot and is reversible. The plaid of the reverse is let in cn the sleeves and across the bust and appears as the cuff and pocket lapels The garment is further decorated with bands of black cloth upon which are seen row after row of stitching. Small straps are buttoned across the front as fastenings. The velvet three-quarters length coat of a rich chocolate hue is worthy consideration. It is beautifully deo orated with an embroidery of blaok silk oord and of black lace applique under which is an underground of fur. This form of trimming appears as well on the small shoulder cape, and on the wide rolling revers and collar. The revers and the collar are faced with white cloth against which the black embroidery shows off to its full ex- A j TRAVELING LENGTH COAT. | WRAP. tent.
