Til Division nf Monotony.
I have lived a good long time In the
world. I have made acquaintances by
the hundred; friends not so many.
Looking back upon all the people I
have known, I can tafely say that the
number of unhappy marriages I hae
personally witnessed has been very
small indeed, said Sir Walter Besant
to a correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
By far the larger number
of tHe wives have accepted cheerfully
the position of housekeeper and mat
ron. They have kept house for the
husbands and children whose happi
ness is her own.
Many of .them have kept house with
the earnest intention of making a
house beautiful,, which became a con
tinual feast for themaolveg; many of
them have brought art Into every part
of the daily life, which has been a
i continual feast for themselves, as well
su the other members of the house;
for all the matrons tho dally work has
been a daily delight. Then, aa for
drudgery and monotony, is there none
in a man's work?
Think of the monotony and drudgery
of a city clergyman's life, when every
day he has to tramp around the un
grateful alums. Think of tha mo
notony and drudgery of the nollcitor,
always drawing up endless documents
In the hideous legal jargon. No. The
monotony of life. I am quite sure, Is
pretty evenly ladled out to working

Hat and Yalta.
For afternoon calls clad In their
best, women naturally want a smart as
well as a becoming hat. Perfectly
charming 1b the three-cornered hat In
-various pale shades or all black, trim

may not sound so, but It is easier to
get a beautiful picture hat than a
specimen of really smart country head
gear. If you possess a few good os
trich feathers and an old paste buckle,
you can get a velvet or - big flopping
felt shape and make of It a model pic
ture hat. Those painted by the old
masters can never be surpassed. They
carry no date and ever look lovely,
provided they are accurately poised
on a well-arranged coiffure.

Tha Trophy Craa.
Young girls, and especially young
American gins, are seldom without ad
mirers, chums or even brothers who
arc taking their trims at tho various
colleges. The boys, no doubt, push
through better and have an added con
fidence in their own strength with the
merry thought of these girls' comrade
ship. And, In return for all their pro
pelling good wishes, is It too much
that the girls shomd expect to wear
their class pins and ether manly dec
oi at ions?
In these days of emancipated woman
kind, however, it seems strange that
girls should choose to display such
leaned marks of favoritism In a much
mure conspicuous way than did those
women who had no thoughts of inde
pendence in their heads. ' l'p-to-date
Eirls now wear the pins they have
cajoled from their admirers on a tiny
black veTvet band, or, rather, a nar
row piece of velvet ribbon, which fits
snugly about tho right sleevo Just be
low the shoulder. Sometimes two,
three or even four pins are placed
In a line on the little band. In fact,
the more that can bo vhown the proud
er Is the individual whom they deco
rate. One popular girl was even heard
to boast that she would soon have
ct'ough such pins to fashion herself a
belt, instead of an arm band. But
American girl are etrong In their
patriotism. They generally choose a
certain college for their allegiance and
they remain true to It; that Is to say,
they do not mix up in their collection
the pins of various colleges. The sev
eral that they wear might represent
many men and different years, but
would generally be of the same col
lege. It is only about the sleeves of their
house gowns that stlrls wear the vel
vet band supporting these decorations.
When they go out of doors and a coat
Is necessary they fa3ten ono or per
haps two of the pins on the outside of
tlulr cuffs. The fad then becomes a
case of "he who walks may rend," as
from such a place they gleam out most
corsplcuaiu ly.
Another little wrinkle that the girls
are now Indulging la Is begging away
the men's canes to use as parasol
sticks. Once such a trophy ia secured
they indeed lose no time In having it
raada up with HglTt, attractive stuff to
match some summer gown. Of course,
It is all the better If the cane has his
toric value; If It has come out the vic
tor In a "rush," or done some other
gritty deed. Wise men, It Is t-ald, keep
a sharp eye on especially beloved
sticks, or even, If they are crafty, hide
them away.
But the time when the girls are most
alert Is at the end of their friend's col
lege life when 'farewell Is said to the
aima mater. Flags, trophies, even the
fcmlture of rooms, Is then freely giv
en away. It is the time to secure a
ttuly substantial souvenir. A man's
I'esk and his easy chair are usually
spoken for long in advance; and If he
baa an open-hearted soul he will
"clear out," as he calls it, all else but
his brierwood pipe. One mistake he
must be careful to avoid, that of offer
ing soft cushions, embroidered flags
or woolen sweaters back to the same
fair damsel whose deft fingers may
have made them. Another mistake,
even greater, which ts not unknown, is
to bestow such things on the damsel's

BABY KILLED BY PET CAT
A STRANCE CASE VOUCHED FOR BY
DENVER PHYSICIANS.
Tha Animal ranead Death by Inhaling
tha Breath of lit Mule Victim Haw
tha Ilnctor Kxnlalna It Moat Manilas
Theory from a rlentlfle Slmlnlnt.
There ts no longer, apparently, any
chance to dispute with those who hold
the belief that a rat can take the
breath of a sleeping child and cause
tne child's death. The only question
now open Is how the animal docs Its
deadly work.
Kver since the recent death of tho
clght-months-old baby of Uustave
Brown, In Denver, Colo., this question
has been a dominant topic in Denver
homes.
With a mother the feeling that a
rat can harm her offspring Is more
than a belief; It Is an Instinct which
for a?e has caused the banishment
of ti.e cat from the same room with
the sleeping baby.
There Is, according to the highest
medical authority, not a shallow of
doubt that Baby Brown was killed by
a large pet maltese cat.
The physician who tried to resus
citate the child says death resulted
from the stoppage of the supply of
air to the lungs.
The coroner's certificate says death
was due to suffocation.
The baby and its mother were both
in absolutely perfect health, and there
Is not one chance in a million that
the child died of apoplexy or heart
urease.
The circumstances of the child's
death are told by the mother as fol
lows: "About tho middle of the forenoon
I put the baby in its carriage for Its
morning nap, and. as i have always
clone, left him In the back yard with
tie parasol lowered to keep the light
out of his eyes and to prevent the ad
mission of too much cold air. I had
a man engaged to clean the house and
was so occupied that I did not run out
to look at the baby as often as I gen
erally did to see that he was well cov
ered and sleeping qdletly.
"At noon when we were at luncheon
I left the table to look toward the
baby's carriage, and at that moment
I saw the parasol moving. I thought
the baby had awakened.
"He was so sweet and happy when
ue first awakened that I thought for
fun I would run out and steal some
of his smiles and play peek-a-boo at
him to see the dear little thing's de
light. I went to the kitchen door,
and as I opened it and started down
the steps I saw the Maltese puss, the
family pet, Jump' out on the other side
of the carriage from under the para
sol over the baby's face. I thought
rothlng of It, especially as the cat had
olten jumped Into the foot of the car
nage and lay there asleep while the
baby was taking his nap.
"When I reached the carriage, push
ed the parasol away and leaned down
to look at the baby there he lay dead,
his little mouth slightly open. Not
a mark of disfigurement was on his
white face." '
This part of Mrs. Brown's story is
corroborated by Mrs. F. S. Knox, a
neighbor, who also saw the cat jump
down from the baby's carriage, and
who tan over to the Brown yard when
the mother's scream announced that
something terrible had happened.
Dr. F. E. VVaxham was hurriedly
summoned, and two other neighbors
helped their friend in the effort to
restore life to the child by rubbing
and by all tho other methods they
know. Dr. Waxham's efforts proved
equally fruitless. The child had prob
ably been dead, ho said, for some
time.
This startling corroboration of the
old theory that a cat can cause a
child's death by sucking its breath
has called forth many theories and ex
planations. A majority of people believe that the
cat put Its mouth Into that of the
child, who breathed back the animal's
breath till suffocation resulted.
Dr. Waxham, who was called in the
case, says:
"It is my positive belief that death
came to the baby in just this way,
and to my own satisfaction the old
saying is proved. I have heard of
death having been caused in this way
before, but I have never believed It
until now. This is the first instance
that ever came under my observation
or that I have ever heard of directly."
The assigned cause for this strange
tendency lu the cat is that the smell
of milk In the child's mouth first in
duces the cat to jrnt Its own mouth
within that of th,-'calld. Aa It gets
the taste of the milk Jt sucks the
child's breath, and finally becomes
overpowered by an unexplainable fas
cination. Those who have heretofore scoffed
at the old saying hold that the theory
of Coroner Horan is the most reason
able. This is that the cat lay down
upon the child's face, and the little
one, unable to draw its breath, soon
suffocated. '
Against this must be placed the ar
gument that a strong eight-months-old
boy In a struggle for breath would
easily displace an animal the size of
a cat.
The most startling theory from a
scientific standpoint la that the breath
of all animals of the cat family acts
as a chloroform to all other species.
This theory Is explained in an article
published some years ago In a scien
tific magazine and preserved in a
scrapbook by Assistant Dlstrlct-Attor-r.ey
T. E. Mclntyre, of Denver. The
article aays:
"A recent pubUshed story criticises
the notion that a cat sucks away a
child's breath. This is merely an ex
pression, erroneoua in ita form, of a
physiological fact AU the felida
possets poisonous breaths. Intended
by nature to act at an anaestthetlo on
their pray. If a person cares to ex
periment by inhaling, for Instance,
cat's breath, he can ea3lly realize the
truth of this statement. Carefully
watch a cat playing with a mouse, you
will discover that the mouse does not
suffer, but Is sort of stupefied, as If
by chloroform. In the "Life of Living
stone," written by himself, of explora
tions in Africa, he states that once,
when lie was seized by a Hon and his
arm broken, the crunching of the
broken arm gave him no pain, so be
numbed were his senses by the ani
mal's breath.
"A cat seeks the child, Its soft bed,
and the warmth of its body, and lies
elewn on the client of the lnrant. Its
weight Impedes respiration, its
breath anaesthetizes the child, and
death follows. This circumstance has
actually occurred, and medical rec
ords conclusively prove 1L" New

QUAINT AND CURIOUS,
Rotterdam Is building the biggest
excavated dock In the world. Its area
is 150 acres with a depth of water of
14 feet, which will be dredged out lat
er to 28 feet. The earth dug up has
been used to build the surrounding
quays and to raise the level of neigh
boring streets.
In the Arctic regions early explorers
were astounded to find large areas of
red snow; but the phenomenon Is now
familiar to men of science, who know
that red snow, like a green garden
fence, is due to the presence of uni
cellular algae, the only dllterence be
ing in the coloring matter of the pro
toplasm. It is said that acres of snow
are frequently covered iu a single
night by these tiny plants.
Before the English occupation of
India it was estimated that the Ganges
carried to the sea every year 1 .Quo .000
depd bodies. It was then considered
by the Hin-toos that the happleBt
death was one found In the waves, and
all pious Hindoos who could do so
were carried to the banks and placed
In Its waters to die. The decaying car
casses along lta banks were probably
responsible In no small degree for the
pestilences which formerly desolated
the peninsula.
An eminent violinist, Herr Baker,
has recently tested the sensitiveness to
music of each of the animals in the
soologlcal gardens of Germany. The
influence of the violin was the greatest
on the puma, whose moods changed
rapidly as the nature of the music
changed, becoming very much excited
and nervous when quicksteps were
played. Wolves showed an apprecia
tive interest, lions and hyenas wore
terrified, leopards were unconcerned
and monkeys curious.
For nine years an aged New Yorker
has lived in his wife's tomb in the
Eergrocn cemetery. Devotion to her
memory has robled the once powerful
man of nil his physical strength and
hl3 vitality, sapped by years of bitter
exposure is ebbing away. He has al
ways had a melancholy pleasure In sit
ting in tho tomb by the side of his
dead wife, and has found his only hap
piness there, for he does not believe he
will meet her In another world.
Though he lives In tho tomb the old
man does not sleep there. He leaves
the cemetery every night and goes to
a little room in a house in Williams
burg. Early in the morning he creeps
out of his bed and goes to the ceme
tery. "Good morning. Mary." he al
ways says to his wife when he enters
tho tomb, just as If her deaf ears
could hear his voice through the thick
walls of her metal coffin.
Medoc lake. In Transylvania, ac
cording to a Hungarian chemist, has a
very remarkable peculiarity. The sur
face temperature In summer Is 70 de
grees, but at a depth of about four feet
the temperature Is 132 degrees, which
declines to t6 degrees at the bottom.
Tho surface water is fresh, but the
warm water beneath Is Intensely salt.
He explains the diflorence In temper
ature by saying that, as the -specific
heat of salt water is less than that of
fresh water, the salt water is more eas
ily heated by the sun; and, having ris
en to a higher temperature than that
of the overlying fresh water, it retains
IU heat because the fresh water pre
vents its escape by radiation. With
the modern tendency to convert every
phenomenon of nature to a practical
use, It ts suggested that such a reser
voir r.f heat, might be made of ser
vice, particularly aa there are other
lakes of the same kind in that region.

He had come to the spigot for a drink.
Ju'at enough water leaked from It into
the catch basin beneath to whet his
appetite without gratifying It. His
eye would follow a drop with light
ning rapidity down through the grated
basin. He would then look up at the
spigot most wistfully. Of the pass
ing crowds there was none who no
ticed him until a "knight of the road,"
with a tightly rolled blanket flung
over bis shoulder, slouched past the
corner of 13th and F streets. Be

the unusual argument urged for the
adoption of the Innovation. It Is
claimed the conversion would change
the commercial balance of Switzer
land. Switzerland unfortunately Is
dependent on foreign countries for her
entire coal supply, and there being a
great number of waterfalls available,
It is proposed to harness these for the
development of electric current. The
net saving Ita operation to the rail-
loads would not be so great, but the
money that Is now expended outside
of the country would be distributed
among Its own people, and this would
mean a decided encouragement to
ether Industries. It Is asserted that
the electrical works at Ieriikon have
made an application to the federal
government for a concession to es
tablish a road of 12 miles of stand
ard gauge electric railway for experi
mental purposes.
