Why Cats Hiss and Spit.
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.

Oldest Town In the United States.
We often speak of this or that town
as the oldest on the continent. 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

Lord Clare. "Better read them, my

j COMPROMISED, j
" Jes," said Miss Is id or a Ives, "the
Tower iB mine still, and I intend to
keep it. 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.

NEW YORK CITY (Special).—Some
fascinating flannel waists are to take
the place of the silk and cambric
shirt-waist; they are almost invariably
FASCiNATINO FLANNEL WAIST.

Harper's Bazar, oan be made In flannel,

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-
