"Talking about tho humanity of mnn

independent woman, "let mo toll you a
littlo ttiiry of a man nnd a cat. The
story was told to me by the wife of the
man, who is a domesticated woman. It
seems that tho family cot, besides being
of a Sportive disposition, hnd more in
genuity thnn most cats or understood
better how to relieve the tedium of a
domestic existence. This cat caught a
mouse. Being well fed, her sporting in
stinct came into play, and sho kept tho
mouse to nmnso herself with. That is n
feline custom, ns you are awnre, but
where this cnt showed superior mental'
ity was iu hitting npnn a place to hide
tho mouse, thus protracting tho nmnra
meiit. bhu kept it in an old shoo lit a
storeroom. The mnn of tho houso dis
covered tho proceeding, nnd was nlmost
ns much amused as tho cut. Did ho put
a stop to it? No, Indeed. For several
days ho fed both tlio'ent and tho mount,
after which tho cut would take tho
mouse out for its daily exorciso, to tho
delight of both conspirators Then tho
mini's wifo found them out. Sho took
the mouse nwny and let it go. " New

ttlllng Finger Knits.
Tho chief finger nail chowcrs of the
world uro tlio French, nnd it was re
cently staled npnn reliablo authority
that nearly two-thirds of French school
children are addicted to the litibit.
Even for grown peoplo there Is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse nf nnrcntlcs, ltinro difl'.-nlt to
overcome than the habit of bit: ig tho
finger nails. It roquin s a strong mental
effort mid constant vigilance to do tills,
for onro a person has become thorough
ly addicted to tho habit he docs it ttn
ronsciously, nnd is only reminded that
he is tnurring himself when ho gets nun
:if Ins nails gnnwed down to tho quick.
All manner o remedies havn been ad
vunecil for the cure of tho finger nail
biting habit, including tho placing of
Injurious and bitter compositions ou tho
ends of the lingers, but uonoof tho rem
edies n mounts to much.
The only way to stop biting the fin
ger nails is to stop. The Americans lire
next to thu French iu tho finger nuil
biting habit, probably becauso the
Americans, us a whole, nro an exceed
ingly nervous peoplo. A mnn who no
complishes his determination to, knock
off biting his finger nails may, by in
cessant manicuring, get them vo look
fuirly well within a yenr or so, but fin
ger nail biting, if long persisted iu,
ruins the shapo of the ends of the fin
gers, nt'd tho nails can never be brought
to look ns well ns those of tho persons
who permit their nails to grow as they
wero intended to grow. Washington

Too Much For Watson.
Only once did Watson, when a captain,
never fail to punish a man for intoxica
tion. Tills wns in the summer of 18113
ut Boston, when tho Sun Frunciscc
took tho Massachusetts naval militia on
its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew wns old Alexander Parker,
snilmnki r's mate, whowasnovcr known
to remain sober wheu thero wns liquor
to bu had. When the naval lnilitUimen
came, ou board a witty boatswain's
mate, while no ofllcor was near, sang
out in an uuthoritative tone:
"All you men having whisky on
bonrd lay below and turn it iu to the
sallmnker's mate for safe keeping."
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
nnd hi u few minutes old Aleck, sit

was surpviKi'd to have a vast collection
of flasks passed to him. He received ull

was found a duy after sound usloep iu
his Mitlrontn, Hterully covered with
empty bottles of every sh-.o and shupo.
Ho wns llnally taken before tho captain,
to Vihoai was told tho circumstances.

Asked For a Hhlrt nnd fiot a Wife.
During tho civil war thero wns a oer
tain young lndy in Georgetown who
found it In htr power to do a great deal
for tlio Confederate soldiers confined
iu prison nt Washington. Young, hritu
tiful, cultured, poj.vihir, of n wealthy
nnd prominent family, sho wns fre
quently allowed admission to the pri.t
on, whither sho always took her run id
with a well stocked basket of gocti
things for tho poor boys behind tho b.;r
One day ns t ho was parsing thrntr.;h r.
group of men in tho common prison slie
stopped and said to them:
"If there is anything yon would like
to hnvo that lean bring you, won't yon
lot mo know? I shall bo very glad."
Ono man stepped forward promptly.
Bowing in it courteously, ho mid:
"If you will bo so kind, I tihould like
very much to have a clean shirt."
Ho was a young litmtclmut from
Louisiana, ono of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever mot, und when
that ymntg ludy looked up into bis
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than a clean shirt,
xor sue married bini ns soon as tho war
was over. Philadelphia Times.

Tho hotel keepers in Seville are gen
erally very careful to .introduce their
patrons only to gardens where the Bow
dlerized editions of the dunco nre per
formed, but I commend to those who
think they can "sit It nut" the nrchnio
versions which nro danced naturally to

Cn'surs, by light limbed enrliainerfl of
hearts nnd flaiuenca girls with brown
skins and checks that nrn soft liho the
side of tho peach which is turned to the
ripening sun, and ht their' durk, lus
trous eyes you rt ad as plain as print the
story of tho sorrows und tho joys of a
thousand years of living.
Now they dance nbont with thu trnco
of houris, tho abandon cf lmennds or of
nymphs before Actioon peeped, and
now, when tho dance is over, the mo
ment of madness past, they cover their
feet with shawls, that you may not seo
bow dainty they nro, and withdraw so
dately und sad from the merry circle
and sit for hours under tho banana tru's,
crooning softly some mournful cuplet in
the crocked gypsy tongue.
