William J. Long, In Outlook.
C OME of the wealthiest cats in the
world live in Harlem," said the
theological student, who was talking
about experience! with cats. "I mean
exactly what I say. There are cats here
which have money in the bank, which
live In luxury on their inoomes. For
there are scores of rich msiden ladles
in Harlem who make cats their favorite
companions, and wher hy d. .. ?y
leave the felines legacies, and fat ones,
too. Guardians are appointed for the
animals, and thus they lead a life of
feline ease until the fires of the ninth
life are extinguished.
"When my friend Dalton's elderly
maiden aunt died, some time ago, she
left a legacy of $600 a year to her pet
Maltese cat, Madison Jenks, a name be
stowed on the animal in memory of a
lover who died many years ago, and di
rected in her will that Dalton should be
its guardian. As long as the cat lived
he was to provide it with every care and
dainty, and when it died the $600 a year

also to visit the cat once a month to as
sure himself that Dalton was not neg
lectful. "Well, Dalton took the est to his
home
n Manhattan avenue and was
highly pleased to have direct charge of
Madison Jenks and the $600 a year, for
he calculated that an annual expendi
ture of $J0 would cover the cat'a re
quirements, thuB leaving $550 a year
for his own and his children's numerous
needs. But when he went to the execu
tor at the end of the first quarter to
draw his first Installment of the $600
Dalton found, to his amazement and
cliagrin, that under the provisions of
his aunt's will he had had to spend two
thirds of the money due, leaving only a
beggarly $50 for himself. He returned

"Mrs. Dalton wns equally amazed and
chagrined and Joined Dalton in his lam
entations. It seemed impossible to
: evade the heavy expenditures for Mad
ison Jenks. The executor, who taught
i in a Sunday school and was aconscien

I lnted to Madison Jenks should be ful
filled to the letter.
" 'And so,' sighed Mrs. Dalton, gloom

'"Until he dies!'
"Dalton kissed her. Then he danced.
He would have stood on his head, but
the children had assembled to take part
' in the family gloom and such an up-
sending of the parental anatomy he
deemed ruinous to parental authority,
" 'Funny it never occurred to me be
j fore,' he said.
" 'What never occurred to you be
fore?' asked Mrs. Dalton, astonished by
I his actions.
" 'That Madison Jenks had been look-
ing mighty feeble of late and is liable
to drop off almost any day,' returned
Dalton, scanning' the chandelier in s
meditative fashion.

" 'Bough on rata wouldn't do, would
it?' she ventured, still eyeing the pat
terns. " 'No,' answered Dalton. That pes
tiferous lynx-eyed executor would in
sist on an autopsy, and have the courts
set aside the legacy on the grounds of
malfeasance in office, contributory neg
ligence, or some other of his legal quib
bles.' " 'Disappearance is also out of the
question, too, I suppose?' continued
Mrs. Dalton, managing to raise her eyes
from the piano legs,
" 'Quite,' returned Dalton with de
cision. 'Madison Jenks must meet with
a fatal accident. He sleeps In the hired
girl's room, doesn't he?'
"'Yes.' said Mrs. Dalton, wondering-
lv, 'hut what litis thot got to do with
Madison Jenks' ill-health or sudden de
mist'?' " 'Nothing much,' Dalton replied,
'only this is the hired girl's night off,
1 believe?'
"'It is," returned Mra. Dalton, stili
perplexed.
" 'Very well,' continued Dnlton, 'let
her stay away all night.'
" 'She always does,' Mrs. Dalton an
swered, and would have questioned Dal
ton further, but he said the interview-
was at an end for the time being, so
she went about her household duties.
"It was half-past ten when Mrs. Dal
ton Sniffed the air vigorously nnd sus
piciously. Her hair was in curl-papers
and Dalton had nlrcady turned in.
" 'Don't you smell gas?' she inquired
anxiously.
" 'My dear,' retorted Dalton from his
pillow, 'your overactive imagination
will be your undoing.'
"Nevertheless, she visited the chil
dren's rooms, the parlor, the dining
room, and the library before she was
satisfied that it might have been a trick
of her imagination or lack of olfactory
discrimination.
"Early the next morning she wns
roused from a sound slumber by a loud
rap ut her chamber door. The hired girl
stood without, sobbing hysterically and
trembling violently.
" 'it's about Madison Jenks,' she gur
gled, wildly. 'I didn't know I went out
lust night and left the gas on, indeed. I
didn't, Mrs. Dalton; indeed, and double
deed, I didn't.'
Mrs. Dalton followed the hired girl
to the hitter's room. The odor of es
caping gas which saluted her nostrils
nearly overpowered her, and she was
forced to gasp for breath. The hirer
girl rushed in and threw open the win
dow. Mrs. Dalton entered as aoon as
she deemed it safe. There on his Aiken
pallet lay Madison Jenks, stark and
stiff In the eternal sleep.
' " 'Never mind, Katie.' she said, kind
ly, to the distracted girl. 'Accidents
will happen. The escaped gas will not
be deducted from your wages, so don't
worry.
" 'But Madison Jenki what will Mr.
Dalton sobbed the hired girl.
" "Of course, I 'm ver; , very sorry that
Madison Jenks is dead, Katie,' said Dal
ton, when beseeched by Mrs. Dalton to
soothe the perturbed girl, 'for I loved
him, as did we all. Mr. Briefs, the ex
ecutor, will probably come home wflh
me to dinner, and then you must tell
him how it happened. Here's a dollar
to buy perfume for your room.'
"Dalton wore a black necktie and a
grave expression when he presented
himself at the office of the executor
that morning. 'You have called at a
most opportune moment,' began the ex
ecutor, as soon as Dnlton entered, 'for
I have important news for you. We
have discovered another will of your
mint, which subsequents the one pro
bated by seven months. In this one.
w hich I shall have recorded nt once, $900
a year is allowed for the maintenance
of your lamented aunt's cat, although
the provisions arc slightly different
from those incorporated into the pro
bated instrument. You are to have
charge of Madison Jenks until his de
mise, in which event, if you clearly
prove that death was due exclusively to
natural causes, the legacy is yours. But
should the cat's death be due to acci
dent or design, then the money goes to
the Societ" for Supplying Spyglasses to
Shipwrecked Sailors. Besides, it Is set
foi th that J must inspect thecutoneeev
ery two weeks Insteud of once a mouth,
as before Permit me to congratulate
you on tiiis addition to your income.'
"That afternoon a maa in a black
necktie was scouring the length and
breadth of Harlem with a basket on his
arms. For hours he rushed in and out
of those establishments which keep
small animals for sale and excitedly de
manded a Maltese cat a replica of
Madison Jenks.
" 'The eat must be medium-sized, very
much bit ated and lazy,' explained Dal
ton to the youthful saleswoman who
approached him in the last animal shop
be visited.
" 'I've got exactly what you want,'
said she, indicating a sleeping feline in
the show window. Dnlton examined it,
and a smile of ecstutic joy overspread
his countenance. It was Madison Jenks
all over again bloated, lazy and utter
ly worthies. The cat was a bargain,
said the saleswoman $3.08. Dalton
told her to keep the change and he
bolted for home.
" 'Whatever you do, Katie,' said he to
the hired girl, 'do not turn the gas on
Madison Jenks the second, and never
forget the name. You may forget, how
ever, that there ever was a Madison
Jenks the first, and be sure you mention
not the fact of his sudden taking off.'
" 'It was a narrow escape,' he told his
wife that night. 'I'm glad you said noth
ing shout that cat'a death to the chil
dren.' And the peace of mind of the
adult inmates thus restored, the Dalton
household settled down to its usual
repose and vocations. Madison Jenks'
successor took kindly to its new en
vironment, as well it might, for never
was a feline) so pampered or watched
with such aiixJoua care.
" The exefcutor will be up Ssturdsy,
said Dalton to Mrs. Dalton, oas
Wednesday evening, as he returned
from the office.
H 'Well, I hope Madison Jenks II. will
be on hand,' returned she. T haven't
seen him all afternoon, although I am
sure he is about the house.'
"But on Thursday the eat was atill
missing. Dalton nearly had a fit when
the delinquency wus reported to him at
night, and a prolonged search waa
made. It came to naught.
" 'The cat is somewhere about the
house, I know,' insisted Mrs. Dalton.
'There is no possible way by which be
could run off, and I'm sure he doesn't
want to, after the treatment he has
been getting. However, the children
and I will look again in the morning. I
expect he is hiding in the garret, for
there are lots of mice up there.'
"Friday night the Dalton atmosphere
was decidedly squally. Madison Jenks
was still invisible. Saturday morning
dawned and the storm of doubt and
consternation had not abated. Dalton
sat down to breakfast with n sinking
heart. Hut his faithful wife revived his
spirits. She brought out the basket.
Dalton took the hint.
" 'I'll try again,' muttered Dalton, be
tween his clenched teeth. A shout of
joy arrested him as he started away
with the basket on his arm.
'"Papa! Papa!' called one of the
children from the cellar. 'We've found
Madison Jenks hiding in a nest behind
the coal.'
"Dalton waited to hear no more. Be
kicked the basket into the street and
fled rejoicing to his office. He called
'round nt the executor's place after
business hours and escorted him home
to view the cat and take dinner. Din
ner came first, nnd then the executor
remarked courteously that, as a mere
matter of form, of course, he would like
to inspect Madison Jenks. Dalton told
one of the children to fetch the cat in.
" 'Why, we can't get him up from the
cellar, papa,' exclaimed one of the
youngsters. 'He's still hiding in the
nest he made.'
" 'Don't disturb the little ones,' plead
ed the executor, 'we can run down and
look ot him where he is, if you don't
mind.
"Preceded by the children Dalton and
the executor descended to the cellar.
One of the juveniles more adventure
some than the others scaled the coal
pile and made for Madison Jenks' nest.
" 'Pull him out, Oliver,' charged Dal
ton. There was a short scuffle, a tre
mendous spitting, yowling and claw
ing, but the victorious boy landed Mad
ison Jenks all right and held the cat up
to view by the scruff of the neck.
" 'Do you want these other ones, too?'
asked the boy.
" 'Do I want what T gasped Dalton
"'Madison Jenks' kittens I' shouted
the boy, as he threw the squirming cat
to the ground and scooped from the
nest in the coal a half-dozen mewing,
spluttering, blind little felines, the
progeny of the mis-identified Madison
Jenks. 'We were waiting to surprise
yo tn,' concluded the discover
er, proudly.

WHERE CANDLES ARE HADE.
Twelve Hundred of Paraffla la a Da?
Turned Out la a Remote Cor
aer if Assam.
I'araffin wax candles and the extreme
northeastern frontier of the Indian em
pire appear on first reflection, to have
but little connection with each other,
says London Sketch. The Digboi oil
wells, however, situated in a remote
corner of Assam, turn out, with their
present small refinery and plant, 1,200
of these candles daily, and should, in
the course of a few years, be capable
of meeting any demand for oil and wax
that is likely to arise. Becent drilling
operations, indeed, afford conclusive
evidence that the territory may be
made to yield at least 500,000 gallons a
month of petroleum of excellent quali
ty. There are now four wells at Digboi,
which are represented in the illustra
tion at the moment of their annual In
spection by the chief commissioner of
Assam. The spectacle of four jets
spouting black oil to a height of 70 feet
supplies a striking picture of the re
sources of these wells. The oil falls
into a natural reservoir, one end of
which is artificially dammed up, and
the supply is considerably in excess of
the capacity of the existing refinery to
work off; a suitable refinery on a larger
scale is already in contemplation. The
enterprise has been pushed forward in
the face of great difficulties and at
great expense. Now that these difficul
ties have at last been successfully over
come, the prosperity of the Assam oil
wells Is assured, and the pioneers of the
undertaking have every likelihood of
reaping a rich harvest for their arduous
struggle against malaria and Jungle.

NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS.
The Circumcision. This lesson
shows us Jesus as a Jewish boy. Thut
we begin with circumcision, which
was administered on the eighth d;i
after birth, according to the law
given in Gen. 17:9-14. Often the
friends of a family gathered at tht
circumcision of a child, and a feast
was held (Luke 1:58, 59). Of course,
no such feast was possible when c
vhild was born away from home.
The Presentation. The presenta
tion in the temple was, in Jesus' case
a twofold ceremony. It had to dc
with the purification of His mothet
(Lev. 12) and with His own redemp
tion as His mother's firstborn (Ex.
13:2, 12, 13; Num. 18:15, 16). Redemp
tion required only the payment of the
money to a' priest, but the child was
gnjerally taken to the temple when
the parents were near enough to go.
Purification could be made at any
time after the days of separation, but
required the presence of the mothei
at the temple. The rabbinic traditions
lengthened the period of separation
prescribed in the law to 41 days after
the bin li of u boy and 81 after the
birth of a girl. Simeon and Anna,
Whose prophetic words gave Mary
food for thought, represented a con
siderable number of people who spent
their life in the temple sourts, attend
ing all the sacrifices and passing theit
time in prayer.
The Magi. The magi were repre
sentatives of a class somewhat wide
ly spreaa xnrougn tne east and were
successors to the learning of the
priests of Cbaldea. Their interest in
the king of the Jews probably came
from Jewish rather than heathen
.sources. Very many theories about
the star which guided them have been
published, the most probable being
thut of Kepler, who observed a con
junction of Jupiter and Saturn in con
nection witb which a brilliant tem
porary star, which may have been a
comet, appeared. This conjunction oc
curred also about two years before
the birth of Jesus.
The Return. The return to Nazar
eth was decided upon for the reason
that Jesus' parents could not feel se
cure in a village only six miles from
Jerusalem, where children of Jesus'
age would be few. Nazareth was an
obscure and out-of-the-way place, in
the hills which lie on the south side
of the plain of Esdraelon. It was
from this village that Jesus went, as
all boys went, at the age of 12 years
to his first passover. His remaining
behind to listen to and share In the
discussions of the rabbis shows His
interest in the theory as well at the
practice of religion; and His surprise
that His parents should have wasted
any time looking for Him anywhere
else indicates His growing conscious
ness of the divine nature within Him.
Infancy to Manhood. Generally
this period may be described as that
of Jesus' true and full human develop
mentphysical, intellectual and spir
itual of outward submission to man
and inward submission to God, with
the attendant results of "wisdom."
favor" and "grace." Necessary.
therefore, as this period was, if the
Christ was to be true man, it cannot
be said that it was lost, even so far as
His work as Saviour was concerned.

Special Studies When a Jewish
boy was three years old he waa given
the tasselled garment directed by the
law (Num. 15:38-41; Deut. 22:12). At
five he usually began to learn portions
of the law under his mother's direc
tion. These were passages written on
scrolls, such as the shema or creed of
Deut. 6:4, the Hallel psalms (Ps. 114,
118, 136.) When the boy was 13
years old he wore, for the first time,
the phylacteries, which the Jew al
ways put on at the recital of the daily
prayer. In the well-known and most
ancient "Maxims of the Fathers"
(Pirke Avoth) we read that at the age
of ten a boy was to commence the
study of the Mishna (a compilation of
traditional interpretations of the
law); at 18 he was to be instructed
